Simple Question, need advice. BOBJ vs. BI

I didn't know where to post this, but I need advice.
I have been working as a SAP BI Developer for past 2 years. I have an opportunity to transition into BOBJ (means I will not be in BI team).
Wanted to know if this is a good career move, but have few questions.
1) Which is easier BOBJ or BI?
2) Which is more in demand and will be for next 10 years?
3) I've heard that there's a very high chance to work from home as a BOBJ Developer compared to BI Developer? True/False?
4) Is pay for either the same?
Thanks in advance.

"Having extra cores will be a distinct advantage..." ?
Better optimized to take advantage or to handle the scheduling of threads?
Right now, it is a mixed bag and give applications a year to be recompiled and optimized - or longer. The transition to Leopard also has taken more than a year to get where it is.
I would not discount last year's 2.8GHz 8-core as a better buy and value.

  • Question - Need Advice Regarding Second Hard Drive On HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC

    Hi,
    I currently have a HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC, and my hard drive failed (luckily while still under warranty!).  So I contacted HP support and they are in the process of sending me a replacement hard drive, so that I may install it.  When I opened the back of the notebook, I realized that a second hard drive could be installed, if desired.  I would be interested in doing this!  My current primary drive was (and will be again) a Toshiba 1 TB Internal hard drive Serial ATA-300 2.5" 5400 rpm, model MK1059GSM.  I understand (from reading a previous post) that for the second hard drive, I will need to purchase  a "2nd HDD Caddy & Cable for HP dv7-4000, dv7-5000, dv7t SE" (the purchase link the tech in the other post referred to was http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345); and now I need to decide on the size (and other stats) of the hard drive that I will buy to install and used as the secondary drive.  The HP customer service rep I spoke with on the phone about my primary drive replacement said that it is usually recommended to not go any higher (in capacity) than the primary drive, for the second drive, to ensure a more "stable" system (but I am not sure about the level of"technical" knowledge he has about the inner workings of the notebooks).  However, from my upgrading experiences with desktop PCs, I was usually able to go as high in capacity as I could/desired; as long as the physical size of the drive was the same, and it was compatible with my system.  And I usually did choose to go with a larger capacity second drive, as this was where most of my data and media files were stored (with the primary being used for mostly operating system and system files).  This is my first time "upgrading" a Notebook, so I wanted to check with the techs here on the board- would it be a problem for me to go with a secondary drive larger than my primary drive's 1TB capacity?  Also, are there any other factors to consider and keep in mind when selecting a second hard drive?  Any advice and replies will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much for your help with this!  -Brian

    You should be able to go as high as 2TB.
    I also own a,(Older), DV7 notebook which has dual drive capability.
    I bought my caddy from the place recommended and got everything needed including screws !
    I matched the capacity in mine with an exact same hard drive and have never had a problem.
    Minor battery life noticable but that was it.
    Your system BIOS is what will hold you back from say a 3TB drive.
    You can go to HP site and check the specs on your model and find out for 100 % sure.

    I would recommend doing what I did and match the drive exactly.
    Good day !

  • Simple question - need to create a line that moves across the screen

    Hello All;
    Simple problem - I need to animate a line of a solid color that starts on the right and moves across the screen to the left. I know I can create a layer of a solid color and then animate the scale to sort of make it work but that changes both sides of the line and I need to only change the position of one side.
    I know there are probably numerous ways of doing this - what is the easiest and most straightforward. Thanks.

    rectangular mask that covers line, animate it off screen and it will
    reveal the line as it moves off.

  • [solved] MP3 library management question, need advice

    Let me preface this, I LOVE amarok 1.4. Not as a player, hundreds of apps can play MP3's, but its ability to organize/tag. I have a new dir of MP3s, I can open them into the playlist, tag/retag/run musicbrainz, then import them into the master directory that is organized alphabetically, by artist, then by album, with the ability to throw a cover image in the directory. I have yet to find any "music" app that has been able to anything near that.
    I feel its time to move on, get the kde3.5 libs off my machine, and find a new player knowing that eventually amarok 1.4 will die. And afaik, the last time i checked none of its clones like clemetine or exaile has those features. I'm wondering if there is a standalone app that has those media management features. I'm ok with the media management being seperate from the player, since i dont need it as frequently as the player itself, but I'm not ok with 3 different apps replicating amaroks features, i.e a tagger/musicbrainz interface, a db app, a cover importer all seperate.
    So is there anything out there that does that? I'm looking through AUR but i'm not really sure what to look for.
    EDIT: Found this perfect solution - beets - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39577

    Try GCstar (http://www.gcstar.org/index.en.php). However, you can find other collection organizers, but have a look at gcstar.

  • Simple Question - Need URGENT Answer!

    Would this hard disk work in a PowerBook 1400cs/113 considering that I would divide it into partitions of 8GB and use the left over space for one more partition? And is it the right kind of drive?
    Link to the drive:
    http://tinyurl.com/yboc7t

    I would say no. That looks like a desktop hard drive. The specifications say it's 1 inch tall.
    http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/SpinPointVSeries/HardDiskDriveSpinPointVSeries_SV3002Hsp.htm
    You need an IDE laptop drive with a maximum height of 17mm. Also keep in mind that the mounting screws on most modern drives will be in the wrong place for your mounting tray. There is a company that sells a drive sled with the correct mouning holes for newer drives.
    http://www.insanely-great.com/features/020121.html
    You are correct about partitioning. You need partitions of less than 8.2 GB. If you're running OS 8.6 or later, you don't need to worry about this size limitation.

  • Copy FLASH to USBFLASH0...Simple Question need answered

    I would like to copy all folder/files from flash to usbflash.  When I receive a new router to configure, I would like to use my usb-stick to copy everything from flash, including that ccpexp folder with many sub-folders, to my usb.  Can someone assist with how to perform or options?

    Ah...I tried that several times with nno luck.  This should be an easy thing to due.  I know someone will tell me to use ftp or tftp but I really don't think I have to if the router has a usb port.  Doing files individualy will work, but if a router has many files in flash then a simple COPY command should be enough.  Am I missing something?

  • Purchasing question - need advice!

    Hi all! I'm new to this discussion board but not to Macs. I'm a graphic and web designer that just struck out on his own and I need a Mac b/c my PC isn't going to cut it. I would like to get a new Mac Pro but I have CS 2 Premium and the MX 2004 web suite or whatever it's called. I know people are having problems with the latest OS and older versions of the creative suite... not sure about MX 2004. I just wanted to know if I should just go ahead and get a new Mac and hope for the best or if it would be better to find a pre-owned Mac somewhere on the web that's older of course? Also, if pre-owned is the way to go any recommendations on where to get it would be nice. Thanks!

    If it was me, (and I'm well aware that it isn't), I would get the Mac new and the software from eBay if I was lucky enough to find an unregistered copy or something that is close enough but good enough.
    Try to get the best you can afford. It avoids you having to upgrade and lose money again later. I used to have a G5 1.8DP and while it was very very good, once I upgraded the graphics card it became noisy. I used to love the way it looked with the side cover off though, (plastic shield still in place). Even the new MacPros can't run like that safely for too long. The move to the Pro though saw a significant increase in speed.
    The name 'Mac Pro' sounds really cheesy though. I think G6 is where they should have moved toward.

  • Simple Question, need answer please!

    Hi,
    I've simply forgotten how to select part of a track in Garageband?
    I've imported a 4 minute track and need to select 30 seconds of it in the middle somewhere. I done it yesterday, it highlighted smaller yellow boxes along the top of the track but i cannot get it to show this time!
    Answer appreciated!

    Don't worry, I found it!

  • Simple question needs a simple answer

    I am building an application in which i use some subVI's that I built myself.  When I import these subVI's, they have a number with the generic LabVIEW icon, I have a five and a one.  I've seen this before and I am just wondering what they represent.  Thank you for your time.

  • Need a simple answer for simple question???

    simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
    not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
    i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
    then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
    its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
    help

    The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
    The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

  • I'm desperately needing advice to a common question.  I use Quicken and love it.  But the Mac version is not as great as the PC.   Has anyone installed it by segmenting their Mac with Parallels or Fusion or Boot camp.  If so, which one do you recommend.

    I'm desperately needing advice.  New Mac.   Used Quicken on my PC.  Researched all software for Financial programs and Quicken is still the most recommended.   I want to use Quicken on my Mac.  The Mac version is not highly rated so I would need to partition my Mac.   Has anyone done this for their quicken program and if so, which partitioning program did you use - Parallels, Fusion ware or Boot camp?
    Thx

    Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
    Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

  • YouView - a simple question

    Hi - new to this so excuse me if this seems a ridiculously simple questions.
    The question is : when you have connected up YouView, does that mean that you must watch live TV only on YouView ?
    The reason I ask is that I had a slightly better picture (and sound volume) on my TV before I connected up my YouView box (not a significant difference, but noticeable).
    I have tried to turn off my YouView box, or put in on standby, but obviously I then get a message that I have no reception.
    I could of course disconnect the TV aerial from the YouView box, connect it directly to the TV and watch "normal" tv that way, bit it seems like a lot of hassle.
    Any advice welcomed !!!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You connect the RF out on the YouView box to the RF in on the telly. You can then use the telly's own tuner if you want. If your TV supports different profiles each input you may need to tweak the setting for the port you have the YouView box connected to. The settings are rarely ideal out of the box.
