Solution For Two Workstations

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a Remote Desktop solution, or other good third party solution that provides remote desktop capability between two workstations, both running OS 10.4.9, that does not require purchasing the full server-based Remote Desktop solution?
Thanks in advance...Ethan

if all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

Any Control or Solution for Two Payment Draft Knock off to same invoice?

Hi,
Q1) Would like to ask is it any control or solution proposed to prevent 2 outgoing payment draft knock off to same invoice?
Notes:
This is important because someone had choosed same invoice no 1 to knock off and save as payment draft.The problem will happen when 2nd outgoing payment draft with same invoice add to e system. E system will consider the second payment as payment on account(advance payment).

Hi,
the sbo_sp_transactionnotification is somethink like triger in tables. It`s called when you add, update or delete data to db and it`s on you, which condition you wrote there. In the sp you will have for your case as input parameters identification of payment draft, so you need to prepare sql query which based on payment draft will make control, if exists some invoice, for which is more than one payment drafts. If yes, set @error = 1 and @error_message to some explanation (will be shown in status bar of sbo).
I dont know how you create the payment draft, so I will write some example for testing, which control if in cretaed or updated delivery from vendor is filled vendors no of delivery.
if @object_type = '20' and (@transaction_type= 'A' or @transaction_type= 'U')
begin
     if 1 = (select count(docentry) from opdn with(nolock) where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and (numatcard is null or len(numatcard) = 0) )
     begin
          select @error =1
          select @error_message = 'The vendors no isn`t filled
     end
end
This sp will be inserted into body of sbo_sp_transactionnotificitaion procedure in your sql.
Some explanation:
@object_type = '20' - vendors delivery
(@transaction_type= 'A' or @transaction_type= 'U') - A - add, U - update - Im testing it for insert and update existing
@list_of_cols_val_tab_del - docentry of delivery - input parameters
if 1 = (select count(docentry) from opdn with(nolock) where docentry =@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and (numatcard is null or len(numatcard) = 0) ) - testing if vendors no is filled
select @error =1
select @error_message - throwing error
hope it helps

Solution for Poor signal in a wireless WDS network with two Airport Extreme

I have just bought my second Airport Extreme to create a wireless network with the best possible signal. I have one Airport Extreme in my office and the second one (supposedly the remote base) in the living room, two brick walls and 7 meters away. I have follow Apple instructions for the setup, main base "Create a Wifi Network" and Extend network option selected. The remote "join an existent network" and Allow wifi clients selected. According to Apple this is a WDS network between two Airport Extreme.
The network is working and the signal from my iMac is very good in my Office. In the living room the signal with my PC laptop is also very good.
Problem is that my iPod Touch OS 3.0 (I use it as a remote control in my living room with a twonky media server) gets now a very weak wifi signal in my living room, in many cases I lose the wifi sgnal although I sit two meters away from the remote Airport Extreme in the Living Room. If I go to my office with the iPod, then I get a good signal.
I think that only the first Airport Extreme in my Office (Main Base) is emitting a wifi signal and the second Airport Extreme (remote) is only receiving the wifi signal not making a repetition of the wifi signal. (Sorry for my explanation, I am not technical on this.)
I thought that, in a WDS configuration, the remote Airport Extreme WAS suppose to also replicate the wifi signal in my living room.
I have also tried a WDS manual setup with the two airport with the same results.
Is there a solution for this?. Do I have to connect the two Airport Extreme with a wire ethernet in order to be able to have a wifi signal strong enough in my living room for my iPod Touch?.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you Bob for your time.
I understand from your words that with a DHCP reservation I can force de Airport Extreme Main Base to assign an specific IP to a particular client in the network. Is that correct?. If that is the case, I will reserve the 10.0.1.3 to the Twonky Media Server (I need this to be fixed to this IP) and I will change the configuration of the remote Airport Extreme to DHCP automatic.
I will give it a try in a few days. I have spent so many hours with this set up that I am a bit terrified to start again today, to tired from work.
Just one last question. Setting up the remote Airport was very difficult with the Airport Utility. I had to reset and start many times as I always got two errors in the set up:
1.- Internet not connected.
After a minute or so, most of the time the problem was corrected automatically as the remote found the main base that is connected to the internet. I got a confirmation message for this.
2.- Second problem was that Airport Utility said that it could no connect the remote to the specified network. Sometimes (not always) the remote light turn green both in the Airport Extreme and in the Airport Utility, BUT I never got confirmation of a successful installation. Nevertheless, the connection was established because the wifi network exist.
Do I have to "disable the WAN port" during the installation of the remote Airport to avoid the problems?.

Fernando

Best storage solution for collaborative editing between two editors

Hello!
I was wondering what would be a recommended hardware storage solution for collaboratively editing Final Cut Pro X Libraries. Our current process revolves us copying all the video footage onto a portable drive and copying it over to each others machine. This is a time consuming process and the process gets broken up if one of us isn't in the office. We are working only with 1080p (and less) footage and both machines are MacBook Pro's (both have Thunderbolt connections).
I've dug around the internet and found network solutions (setting up another machine as a server w/ the storage drive there) but that setup seems like a lot of work.
Is there another way to do it with a single shared drive, no additional computer setups that would allow us to edit videos concurrently? I'm not looking for a scalable solution, just something to allow us to edit from the same pool of footage at the same time.
Thanks,
Aaron

If you want to edit concurrently, you are looking for a networked solution: either a drive on a server, like you mentioned, or a NAS (a drive connected directly to the network) or a SAN (storage area network, which is a more sophisticated, professional setup - that would likely be overkill in this case).
In any case, you need a fast network - at the very least gigabit ethernet. There exist NAS options for a decent price.
In this kind of setup, you would save all your media in the NAS, work on your libraries locally, and use "external media" - so the media would stay in the designated places in the NAS, and the libraries point to it. Libraries will be fairly small, and you could pass them around.
In any case, you would share the media concurrently, NOT the libraries.

Best Solutions For Offline Address Book on Workstations Not Updating Frequently Enough?

We use Exchange 2010 SP2 and we set Outlook 2010 to Exchange Cached mode by default for all workstations. This seems to work OK for the majority of email most of the time, but because we are very frequently adding and removing external mail contacts
and and adding and removing them from distribution lists, the GAL and distribution lists memberships are frequently out of date in the middle of the work day.
Sometimes the users can manually download an updated OAB assuming it has been updated on the server, but sometimes the OAB is not updated yet and redownloading the OAB solves nothing. It is a lot of hassle, confusion about bounced messages and
missing contacts and phantom names in distribution lists with this method.
I notice that for mail contacts, there is an All Contacts address book that is live, but it does not include include anything else other than contact addresses. Distribution List memberships are still out of date until the OAB is updated on the server
and then downloaded to the Outlook client. This is taking too long.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to force the client to do a GAL address lookup in online mode rather than using the cached OAB?
Can Outlook display both an online and offline address book for the GAL and let the user manually select online version of the GAL if a contact or new mailbox or DL has not synced to the OAB yet?
If we set the registry key to force online address books even when Outlook is in cached Exchange mode, is there any performance downside for PCs on the LAN other than the GAL being unavailable when the network is not available?
Would the Exchange server have a significantly higher load if most PCs were accessing the GAL without an OAB cache?
If we should not expect a significant increase in server load or network traffic, we might set desktops to use online access to the GAL and only laptops to use OAB.

Hi,
If users are accessing the GAL without OAB cache, definitely it will increase in server load and network traffic. If you are in cached mode, one suggestion is to define that in Send/Receive Settings:
Go to Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups
-> Select the account and Edit -> Select
Include the selected account in this group, and check Download offline address book -> Click
OK -> Go back to Send/Receive Groups, select the frequency for automatic send/receive(Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes.), and then close.
I hope this setting can help in your scenario.

Storage solutions for Aperture Library & vault??

My Aperture library has grown to over 400 GBs and I am concerned about storage as it grows larger week by week. I have been using two 500 GB firewire 800 drives, one for the library and one for vault. Today I purchased a 1 Terabyte drive for the library, it works well and I actually see a speed improvement. I will pick up another next week for the vault.
Aperture lumps all of the data in one folder therefore requiring the size of our hard drive to keep pace with the Library. I need a different solution than replacing firewire drives with larger capacity ones every three to six months.
My main requirements are speed and expandability. I do not want to keep several aperture libraries, to me this defeats the purpose of an image database.
I have heard the pros and cons of raid and I do not think it's the best solution for an Aperture based system. Sata sounds interesting and seems that it may become more standard. I have also read about using an out-dated mac as a server by installing several hard drives and connecting it to the workstation by gigabyte ethernet. I would like to have my library on a very fast connection, firewire is fine for the vault. I am wondering what others are doing in the same situation as mine and if you might have any advice.
With the purchase of the 1TB drives I figure that I will be fine until mid to late summer, by that time Apple will have their new desktop available which I plan to purchase. It might be best to see what the machine will or will not support. Any thoughts?........
G5 dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

As the previous poster said: this is an Apple problem that needs to be solved. I might add, it probably will be in the near future. So, you should try to scrape by for the next few months as best you can and wait and hope and pray for a solution from Apple.
With DVD and Firewire drives backing up your original you are well--probably over--backed up. One copy on DVD is more than sufficient for your originals. Make more backups of the Aperture library which includes your original file and your time consuming metadata and adjustments.
RAID 0 is risky because if a single drive goes then you loose everything! There are other RAID schemes that make your system more dependable. RAID 1 mirroring is safer but doesn't expand your storage capacity.
RAID 3 & 5 are both more dependable and give you bigger working volumes but there is a lot of processor work going on to calculate parity (error correcting and data recovery information) that is spread across several drives. If you use Mac OS X RAID or Soft RAID that processor power comes from you computer's CPU--which probably has enough work to do already without having to crunch numbers for every byte that goes to/from your hard-drive.
RAID 3 & 5 are good systems if you have hardware to to the parity calculation but they each require a minimum 4 drives to make a set--which you don't want to use as a boot drive. That means you would need 5 drives inside your G5 of a combination of internal and external drives.
A cleaner solution might be getting a Wiebe Tech Siver SATA V case and port multiplier card (about $1500 w/o drives). That will give you a good fast connection for 5 external hot-swappable drives. Then use Ben Long's library spanner to get you by until Apple comes to the rescue with a multiple drive library.

Best solution for media storage

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for suggestions/how-to on the best setup for media storage. We have two editors (and two computers - Mac Pro PowerPC and iMac Intel). We are currently using an internal 500 GB slot on the Mac Pro along with 1 additional external 1.5 TB drive. Then, on our iMac we use a 1.5 TB external drive. We use, for external drives, LaCie.
Here's our problem. We are running out of space. So, what is the best solution for media storage? Should we get a small rack for our external drives from LaCie and daisy chain them? Or, should we get a server? The only problem I have with a server is connection speed...we, most of the time, have a slow connection at our college.
p.s. here is a link to LaCie's website listing a rack...and we have the d2 drives. So, do you daisy chain them or plug each one in individually?
http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10172
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree...Drobo looks great, but I am finding more and more bad news when it comes to editing. It looks like a great solution for archiving. I received another solution with great reviews from one of my colleagues contacts. They work for a big company.
Hope this helps...something else to add to the mix.
*Our edit suite storage solution is a Facilis Terrablock 24EX unit. (http://www.facilis2.com/24ex.html) It has 18TB of space and is connected on 4GB Fibre channel to both suites. On top of that we have an Apple X-Serve running Final Cut Server that sorts and catalogs all the video we put in so network users (Mac and PC) can search and look at media from their workstations. We just put this in a few months ago. Before that we had a Rorke Data Galaxy HDX with 6TB of space on a 2GB Fibre Channel connection. ( http://www.rorke.com/av/galaxy-hdx.cfm ) It’s now a backup storage unit. Both systems have excellent performance though, we upgraded mostly for space and the server software.*
Again, thank you all for your help. I will research all suggestions.

Best solution for 2+ monitors CS6

After reading discussions about the flaws of external hardware (matrox, BM, AJA) - or at least the drivers needed, I want to find the right solution for using two computer monitors for my Workspaces and a third (HDMI or HD SDI) output for a 37-inch program monitor (not broadcast, but decent Panansonic LED). I have been reading tons of specs and posts... what is best? I am planning a new CS6 workstation
     1. Dual Quadro 4000s
     2. Dual GTX 570s or 680s
     3. some new idea??
Why can't Nvidia make all three ports active on the Quadros?
Wishing Adobe would post more than just minimum specs, but some kind of details on levels of workstations based on types of workflows...
Thanks,
Diane
PS I've been using a $50 HP USB signal splitter on CS5 for a couple of months - it's been great - allowing me to spread my Workspace across two monitors with HDMI to the panny monitor. But that can't really be The Solution, can it?!?

GTX 670/680 cards support up to 4 monitors. Dual cards are not supported, nor is there a need for with the Kepler range of cards. Well, a bit more detail, you can install two cards if they use the same driver, but only one will be used by PR and the other only for steering monitors and that is a bit expensive with Quadros or the GTX 570/580, when a single 670/680 does the same job at much lesser cost and with better performance on most systems.

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

Adobe Creative Cloud for 3 workstations

Hello, I need Adobe Creative Cloud membership, but I have 3 work stations. 1st station I need complete all programs from Adobe Creative Cloud, 2nd station only Adobe Acrobat X, 3rd station only Adobe Acrobat X andPhotoshop. What package I need to buy in this case.

Hi there - A Creative Cloud membership allows for two computers to be used under one memberhsip, for use by a single subscriber (i.e. you can't use Adobe Acrobat on the two computers at the same time). So in your case, you would have to buy two memberships.
Although, you could just purchase one memberhsip to use on two computers, and then buy Acrobat separately as a stand-alone product. Since you only need Acrobat on the third computer, this might be a more cost-effective option.
You might want to look into Creative Cloud Team Ready, which seems like it could be a better solution for you :http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/companies.html

Solution for scanning multiple pages from inside the form6i/10g

Hi All,
I need to scan multiple pages from Oracle forms (6i/10g) using a scanner which is scanning multiple pages per minute. Can any one post a solution for me.
Hafeez

here are the two ways I use to scan images.
1) if the image is a single TIF image then d2kwutil can upload the image into a BLOB field on the database (but it is limited to only SINGLE-page TIFs).
2) if the image is a single or multi-page PDF, then your forms client must copy the image to a filesystem location known by the database (where the filesystem location is a directory on the database), and then the database can import the image into a BLOB field within the database.
either solutions work pretty fast for me (<10 seconds per image)

The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

When I try to log on to my DC it says "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". It won't let me log on. I installed another server server 2012r2 (its virtual )
and I can get to ADSI edit.
I think what happened was I had a pc that could not connect without unplugging the network cable. So I found this fix
FIX: “The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”2032011
I’ve seen a lot of solutions, or suggestions rather, with regard to the error in the title of this post. In my experience, the problem can almost always be resolved without extra domain add/removes and reboots, which is the most prevalent solution I have
seen around. Usually, this issue is due to a mismatch between attributes of the computer account in Active Directory and those values on the system itself. Here are the steps I take to fix this issue when it crops up:
Open up Active Directory Users & Computers pointed to the domain the computer account resides in
From the “View” pull-down menu, make sure that “Advanced Features” is checked
Navigate to the part of your organizational unit (OU) structure where the computer account for this server resides
Open the Properties for the computer object
Choose the “Attribute Editor” tab on the Properties dialog box
Check the Attributes dNSHostName & servicePrincipalName – anywhere that a fully qualified hostname is specified (e.g. myserver.mydomainname.com), make sure that the entry matches the hostname
you have configured when you go here on your server: Start -> Computer -> Right-Click, Properties -> Change Settings (under “Computer name, domain… settings”) -> Full Computer Name
As an example, for a fictitious W2K8 R2 server whose Full Computer Name is “srv1.mydomainname.com”, these attribute/value pairs should be in Active Directory:
dNSHostName:
srv1.mydomainname.com
servicePrincipalName:
HOST/SRV1
HOST/srv1.mydomainname.com
RestrictedKrbHost/SRV1
RestrictedKrbHost/srv1.mydomainname.com
TERMSRV/SRV1
TERMSRV/srv1.mydomainname.com"
Not reading it carefully I add a computer with the same name as the pc having the issue and followed the above. The problem is that I did not notice that the spn did not want the name of my server (serv1) but the name of the trouble
pc.

Want robust solution for alternating row color, resetting every group

I would like a solution for displaying an alternating row color for my detail rows that resets every group, so that row 1 is always gray.
Our Crystal designer provided this code to me:
@rowcnt formula, suppressed, placed in Detail row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := rowcnt + 1;
@resetrowcnt, suppressed, placed in Group row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := 0;
Formatting formula, placed in Color in Detail > Section Expert:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
if Remainder(rowcnt, 2) <> 0 then
color(241,241,241)
else
crWhite
This was working fine for me.
However, it is suddenly not working in one of my reports.
The report does happen to have two groups (rowcount.png).
When the report is run, all rows are colored (rowcount02.png).
This report was previously working fine! I'm not sure what changed.
In any case... surely there must be standard code to do this very standard formatting.
I would be very grateful if someone could post some robust code to accomplish the following:
REPORT DATA IN DETAIL ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
- Data in Detail row displays alternating row colors
- Odd rows are always shaded, even rows not
- Banding resets every group / does not continue pattern from previous group
REPORT DATA IN GROUP ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
Some of our reports place row data in a group row (just the way it happened).
If you could also modify your code in this case.
Thank you!

Hi Abhilash/Sastry, since I'm going to switch to Sastry's formulas, could you please confirm correctness of the following. I can't actually run this report, I can only provide it to our London office, bit of a lag for testing.
@resetrowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt:=0;
@rowcnt:

not(OnFirstRecord) and

Please note: Suppress checkbox is selected AND the above formula is entered.

if cnt mod 2 <> 0 Then color(241,241,241) else crwhite
