SLT and Archiving Question

We have here an ERP System running on Oracle being replicated to HANA (Side-car) using SLT.
When we archive a lot of data from ERP, SLT is taking a very long time to empty the replication queue.
What is traveling through network? Every record deleted? Every SQL Transaction in Oracle (ERP)? What is the size of data being transfered?

Option -2 skipped the records in my production system , I used the below ABAP code
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <ls_data> TYPE any,
<lv_operation> TYPE any.
assign (i_p1) to <ls_data>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'IUUC_OPERAT_FLAG' OF STRUCTURE <ls_data> to <lv_operation>.
If sy-subrc = 0 and <lv_operation> = 'D'.
SKIP_RECORD.
ENDIF
Delete records are getting skipped during replication however those records still present in the logging tables , we had to remove those records from logging table manually after the archival process.

Mail - IMAP and Archiving Questions

From other threads it seems to make the best sense to clean up/archive your IMAP mailboxes by creating local mailboxes ON MY MAC, and then dragging the archive mail into these local boxes which creates room on your IMAP folder and also lets you still see the old mail.
Questions....
I have some old local legacy mailbox that I do not want to delete, but do not need to get to it hardly ever.
Q: I would like to take the legacy mailbox and remove it from my main computer and just put it on a archive hard drive for safe keeping. What is the best way to do this?
Do I simply close Apple Mail and then copy the Legacy mailbox to the archive drive - then open Apple Mail and delete the legacy original mailbox?
Or is there a better way?
Now, when I want to read the mail sometime in the future, how to I get Apple Mail to see it?
Do I have to :
1 - actually reimport the legacy folder mailbox from the backup drive just look at one piece of mail - or can I simply copy the legacy folder the into lib> mail user folder and Apple Mail will just see it?
2 - when I'm done I'd have to delete the import to clear space?
Could it be that easy?
ALSO: if by some chance I wanted to get these local folders to show up in entourage what is the best way to import them in entourage? What about importing the legacy folders into entourage?
In entourage: I used to be able to just move old folders - to archive drives and I'm done. Then If I ever wanted to see them again - just drag an alias to the 'Microsoft User Data' folder and it would be seen instantly right from the arc. drive... Can it work like this with apple mail also?

You can simply select that mailbox, CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Archive Mailbox from the contextual menu. Save the archive wherever you want. The archive is a .mbox file that is importable into Mail. If you need access to its content you will have to first import it back into Mail.
I see no reason why you couldn't use an alias, but I've never tried it myself.

Ancient and Archived Questions

Is there a way to simply 'drop' a question? I have two questions that are "unresolved" basically because no answer has been forthcoming from the collective so I can't mark them as "answered", but I can't delete them from my list of "unresolved" questions.
Perhaps a third alternative to 'helpful' and 'solved' being 'abandoned'?

G'day Sue,
Au contraire, you can mark the question as 'Answered' without nominating a Solved or Helpful response and thereby get it off the list of unresolved questions.
I do agree though, the facility to mark a post as 'Abandoned' or something similar would be in keeping with the spirit of points mendicants.
Have fun!

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Suggestions for archiving an iPhoto library? (and more questions)

Ok, so here is my issue:
Over 12,000 photos
Over 65GB
New camera that doubles the average file size of most previous pics to ~3MB
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated. The times I have had problems with my library have been when skipping between versions of iPhoto and the library essentially gets "combo" updated (not the program itself, but when it updates the library files as it often does).
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
With that out of the way:
What are your ideas?
What have you done for this?
Just in case there is a drastic change like Final Cut X, or it is dropped like iWeb/iDVD in 10 or 100 years in the future, how can I make a clean backup that does not rely on iPhoto? ("show package contents" is just messy as I have many modified and don't require the originals in those cases.).
Any thing else that I haven't thought of, or any sites you could point me to or personal experiences with this would be great. Thank you!

There are several different questions in there.
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated.
Simple solution: keep progressively updating it? In other words, use it all the time. Move your existing Library to an external drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
Think of it this way: You have a Master Library which contains everything and another which contains more current material.
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
There is no reason not to use an external as described above, This is also true of iTunes. I have no idea why you might regard it as a benefit not have data from 2002. It's much more convenient to have all the data in one Library.. If it was a mess when you did it with iTunes then respectfully I suggest that maybe you didn’t do it right . My iTunes Library runs to hundreds of gigs so it has to reside on externals, and does with no problems.
Getting Photos out of iPhoto is simple and safe: File -> Export. You can choose to export Masters. Or just current versions and so on.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

Archive and Install Question

I have an old version of Photoshop (7.0). If I upgrade from OS 10.2 to 10.4.6, Adobe tells me I also need to upgrade Photoshop. But if I do an "Archive and Install" Mac upgrade, can I still use the old photoshop on the old system. Thanks - I am not exactly clear about this.

There is not an old system available when doing an Archive & Install.
The Tiger install options are as follows:
Simple Upgrade
Archive & Install (with an option to select preserve user and network settings)
Erase & Install
The Archive & Install method installs the Tiger OS new and archives the previous system as a previous system folder. When selecting preserve user and network settings, it does as indicated. All user and network settings, data and most 3rd party applications from 10.2 are preserved and transferred to the new system.
You cannot boot from or use the archived previous system folder. The archived previous system folder can be used to transfer data or any user and network settings that were not successfully transferred to the new system only.
After confirming all user and network settings and data was successfully transferred to the new system, you can (and should) safely delete the archived previous system folder since it cannot be used for anything else and takes up hard drive space only.
The old version of Photoshop you are currently using must not be compatible with Tiger (10.4) so if you want to upgrade from 10.2 to 10.4 and need to continue using Photoshop, you need to upgrade Photoshop to the version that is compatible with Tiger (10.4).

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your observation, comment and review.
1. As a matter of fact, since many features of SAP B1 has not changed, just as you asserted, I took cognizance of new enhancements to the solution over the various releases, especially as it relates to the functionalities. By extension however, most questions for prior releases applies to the successor release.
Furthermore, there was a mix-up in the download. Ideally, you should have three sections in the book. Section I (release 2004, by extension - 2005 and 2007 releases); Section II (release 2005, by extension - 2007 release) and Section III (release 2007). The document has been reviewed. Hence, everyone that bought the book before 29th of April 2008 should visit my [blog|http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/sap/kehinde/archives/sap-business-one-solution-consultant-ebook-review-notice-24053] on how to get a copy of the revised version within 24 hours at no extra cost. I regret any inconveniences. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON THIS FORUM.
2. On localization, SAP Business One has more than 10,000 installations across the world. The book is not intended to be "localization specific". It is intended to serve as a certification review for functionalities that cuts across board with a mix of localized functionalities. I am sure you found in there a number of localization questions for other countries like UK. My advice for individuals using the book is to identify which questions apply to their localization.
While I await your review of the [revised version|http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/277772-ebook.htm] as an SAP Business One advisor, I believe you will agree with me that it is an invaluable resource for preparing for the certification exam and also technical interview sessions.
Thanks

Queries related to DMS and Archive link

Hi Experts,
1. Is it possible to link documents in MIGO or FB03 through Archive link with documents already stored via OAWD or CV01N.
2. Can we use any single transaction code for reporting purpose where we can find all the documents stored via DMS and Archive link.
Kind Regards,
Vikas

Hi,
Christoph already answered that question in regard to document info records.
Regarding documents from OAWD, your question is a bit surprising. The main idea of OAWD is to trigger a workflow for linking an external document to a SAP object (document in FB03 or whatever). This is done via ArchiveLink, so all documents linked via OAWD will appear in transactions like MIGO or FB03. Once more, please refer to the documentation:

Archive and print and archive buttons not active

I create a smartform and join it in sap. It is transection me9a.
The problem when I run the program comes printpreview. There are two button that "Archive" and "Print and Archive". But they are not active. I wan to use them. What sould I do?

Pass the below parameter to smartform function module,
Ex,
EXPORTING
                control_parameters = control_param
                output_options     = output_opt
Check the below structure:
data: control_param    type ssfctrlop,
         output_opt       type ssfcompop.
control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.
      control_param-preview = 'X'.
      control_param-getotf = ''.
      output_opt-tddest = 'LOCL'.
      output_opt-tdnoprint = 'X'.
Similarly chack the other structure <b>ssfctrlop</b>
Just a rough idea given above.

How to create Live and Archive Streaming URLs??

Hello Pros,
I am new to QT Streaming Server, and how it is setup and delivered. Please take it easy on me. Here are my questions.
Our school has been using Helix (Real) Server to deliver some video content via Live/Archive streaming video. The school will be changing a format to QuickTime Streaming server to move away from Real. We would like to deliver MPEG4 file via Live Streaming and archive. We set up QT Streaming Server and we can deliver video now.
How do you create and display URLs on a webpage to share live and archive movies? In RealServer, you can list URLs with live and archive, and RealPlayer opens separately and play movie. The videos are lectures so the website will have list of lecture links as we record every week.
If I click this link, a RealPlayer opens and start playing. Currently, I know that “sdp” file is assigned under RealPlayer. When I changed it to QuickTime Player, the player does not open to play movie. Is there way for me to setup URL to open it in external player? We are not interested in making the movie playable inside webpage. We would like to let viewers have option to stretch the movie player to view larger image if they wish. Strange thing is that when the live movie is played in RealPlayer, the image size is smaller that what we stream (320x240). How is it possible? I am confused…
How about archived streaming URLs? I have seen sites with embedded movie in the webpage, but how do you make links that when a viewer click the URL, it will start QuickTime Player externally instead of open it in new webpage? Is this possible? In RealServer, you can use “ramgen” code in a part of URL to open RealPlayer to play a movie.
Any help will be appreciated it.
Thank you.

Install and Archive

I've read posts on this but I seem to have such a basic question that I think it wasn't asked before. So, here it goes:
- I had to perform an install and archive because my MBP would not start - I'd get that message in I-don't-know-how-many languages. I now have a folder on my HD that reads Previous Systems. My question is: the library folder I find in there is the old username/library or the HD/library?
Thanks

Macbook pro starts up but i see picture of some files and a question mark

So I was on my laptop today and it just outta nowhere froze , the song i was listening stopped and i couldn't change the page, i could move the trackpad but nothing else.
so i clicked on the off button and turned it off.
then i tried to turn it on again but while loading it just stayed blank and this picture of some files and a question mark on them appeared, i have no idea what's going on.
I turned it off again and turned it back on and the little apple appeared and it was loading but then a sign appeared like one of prohibited (the one that's a circle and has a slash across it) and idk what to do! i'm so frustrated all my school files are there and idk why this happened in the first place.
i turned it off and just put it to charge.
lately i've been using it a lot and i had a few things on when it froze , so im just gonna leave it off for a while but what can i do?
how do u solve this? has anyone had this happened to their macbook pro already? i bought it just last year idk why this is happening.

The folder and question mark means it cannot find a valid OSX Boot Volume, you need to Boot from your original install DVD (hold c at start) and then run Disc Utility from the top menu bar and run both 'Repair Disc' and 'Repair Permissions'. If it still doesn't boot from the internal hard drive then you need to boot from that install DVD again and do an archive (re)install of the operating system. (Your User data will be saved that way)

Re: (forte-users) Forte and CORBA question

Hi,
The discarding the Java variable that references a distributed Forte object
doesn't cause that the distributed object will be reclaimed. In Forte client
you can use ReleaseDistReference() of the current partition (task.part) to
free the remote object. For Java client, you can implement the following
solution:
- define a method ReleaseMyObject() in the SO you are using to get the proxy
to the dist. object. As parameter for it use something that can identify
your object (attribute).
- your SO has an array or hashtable with your distributed objects, every new
object is added to it.
- in the implementation of ReleaseMyObject() find the object to release in
the array and call ReleaseDistReference() for it,
- from the Java client, call the ReleaseMyObject() for the object that is
not more needed.

Zenon Adamek

Hello Dave,
do you use a copy return or copy parameters in this method ?
If not, then maybe Forte is unable to garbage-collect this object because
it is forever
a proxy which only the server-partition may be able to drop it from memory
(object=NIL).
Try this and let us know what happens.

We're attempting to use a Java client to access a

We've had a Java client calling Forte service objects
and passing Forte objects back and forth as CORBA
structs with no problem. However, we have experienced
some problem obtaining and using remote references to
distributed objects from the Java client.
The problem is memory utilization. Each time I obtain
a reference to a new object, the memory utilization on
the Forte server jumps up quite a bit (around 100k per
object on an NT box). Eventually, if I fetch enough
objects, the server will crash due to lack of memory.
It seems that Forte never reclaims the memory, even
though I'm not using (and don't have a handle to) this
remote objects.
The objects are very small. In fact, I created a test
Forte SO with one method, getObject(); which returns a
distributed object with a single attribute. I then
have a Java client access the getObject() method
repeatedly - discarding the reference to the object
after each iteration. After a short while, the box
will come down.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

I cannot buy music currently as I am being asked to answer security questions due to it being supposedly "the first time I have bought form this PC". This is not the case. I have now changed my password and security questions, but it is asking me the same when I try to buy again.

First off, the name of your computer is only the way it is becuase the Apple user is the first one they created after repairing the Mac. Go into Sharing System Preferences and change the name to whatever you like.
Can you explain how you did this:
This didn't seem right so I went in to it and changed the computer so that it would recognise me as the Owner/Administrator.
You can delete the Apple user in Users & Groups System Prefs. Select that user and delete it. It will ask if you want to save the user data or delete it. If you archive it, you can always delete it later and it will be available if you need to recover that account for some reason--I doubt this will be necessary. After deleting the account, and when you feel you are still working normally, you could delete that archived user folder.
I have also never seen anything ask for that. It does sound like an Epson thing, but without having access to it, I couldn't tell you for sure.
Here's what I would try. Create a new User and give them admin rights. Log in as that user and see what happens with the installer. If it still complains, it is an Epson issue. My guess is it is looking for user id 501, the first user created. If it works, then something is indeed odd about your account. If so, use that new admin account to disable Admin privileges for your account, then re-enable it. This is done in the Users & Groups system prefs.

External hard drive speed for backups and archiving

I'm planning to buy a pair of external FireWire hard drives to backup and archive my iBook G4. I've read a couple of product reports that compare read and write speed of hard drives which seems to be a function of each drive's rotational speed.
I then noticed that my iBook's internal hard drive is slower (at 4200 RPM) than either of the external drives I'm now considering (7200 RPM and 5400 RPM). A test report I read showed the 7200 RPM drive duplicating 1GB twice as fast as the 5400 RPM drive when connected via FireWire to a G5.
Will my slower internal hard drive limit the speed of duplication so that there is little or no advantage to the 7200 RPM drive over the 5400 RPM drive for me?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Probably should have been clearer in my initial question. The 7200 RPM drive I'm looking at is a desktop model, and a bit cheaper than the 5400 RPM drive, which is portable. I like the smaller footprint of the portable drive (and the convenience of it being bus powered) but don't want to pay more for those benefits only to be disappointed with its performance.
So, I'm actually trying to decide between a higher speed/lower cost/desktop vs. lower speed/higher cost/portable. If I could determine that the actual performance difference between these was not very significant when used solely to backup and archive my iBook, I'd gladly pay a bit more for the convenience and small size of the portable.
If there indeed is a big performance difference, I'd find space on my desk for the desktop drive and pocket the savings.
