Source for an G5 2x2.5GHz processor

Hi, I have an Apple Power Mac G5 2x2.5GHz (June 2004). According to my IT guy, the processor seems to be dead. Roughly a year ago we had to replace logic board, processor and power supply do to a leakage in the liquid cooling system.
My IT guy said that it will cost $800 to replace the CPU. I really need this computer up and running again, but my department is unwilling to spend $that much money.
Does anyone know where to find a cheaper alternative? Maybe a company that sells used components? Also, which processors can I put on the logic board? Only the dual 2.5 ghz or will it tolerate others (slower or faster)?
If I do find a cheaper processor, lets say on eBay, is it easy to replace the processor? I have upgraded many computers. I recently upgraded the CPU on my Pentium 4. Will I require special tools that only Apple certified professionals have?
Thanks

Yes, I think FS is right, you'd have to get the same processor. And so far I have heard good stuff about the company he mentions if you want someone to repair it for you.
You could try to replace it yourself, I've heard it's not as hard as it sounds, but you've got a liquid cooled system that might add to the hassle. I can send you a manual if you'd like to see what's involved: [email protected]
On the other hand for a quick and easy idea for replacement and something to balance the cost and work of installing a new processor yourself, you might consider something here: http://computers.shop.ebay.com/items/Apple-Computers-Components_powermac-g5_W0QQ_nkwZpowermacQ20g5QQLHQ5fBINZ1QQLHQ5fIncludeSIFZ1QQ_catrefZ1QQ_ dmptZAppleQ5fDesktopsQQ_sacatZ4599QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em301?trksid=p3286.c0.m301

DC input board same for 1GHz and 1.5GHz, 15 inch Aluminum?

Are DC input boards the same? Does anyone know if I can use a DC input
board from a 15 inch, 1Ghz Aluminum Powerbook in a 15 inch, 1.5Ghz Aluminum Powerbook?
I bought an aluminum Powerbook, 15 inch, 1.5GHz with a non-working DC
input board. (It’s the 1.33/1.5) I have a working DC input board from
a 1Ghz aluminum Powerbook. I was assuming these parts were the same,
but I looked at one of the web sites that sell replacement parts and I
see they list different parts for the 1Ghz and 1.5Ghz, although the
parts look very similar. I’m hoping it’s compatible, that even though
they list different parts, the same one will work.
Has anyone tried this? Has anyone tried using a DC input board from a
different, but very similar model?
Thank you for your help,
Bill

No it isn't. You'll have to do a little homework to determine the exact dc-in board for your powerbook G4. they are specific. Do a cross between ebay and google searches and you'll be able to narrow it to the exact dc-in board that you'll need. I believe that your problem is the dc-in board because I have a Powerbook G4 15" 1.67 Aluminum SD that I bought off of ebay and it has charging issues also. I bought a new battery and a dedicated Newer Tech battery charger from OWC. But in my research like yours I'm convinced that it is the DC-IN Board. Also check Mac recycling they also sell components and under the dc-in board description it talks about faulty dc-in boards can affect charging issues. Mac Recycling will be a good source for information. check it out and good luck!

Source for VESA LCD flat panel monitor mounts for Apple 30" Cinema display

I'm looking for a source for a multi-panel (tiled-array) mounting system for 30" cinema displays.
I can get the VESA mounting plates from Apple. What's hard to find is a multiple-panel arm or post and bracket system that can handle the size and weight of 4 to 8 monitors. The 30" cinema display weighs 27.5 lbs. So in total, roughly 100 to 200 pounds for a 2X2 or 2X4 tiled array.
I know other groups have ended up making their own. I see many systems on the web for this number of displays - but none thus far that can handle both the size and weight.
Any recommendations pro or con would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

Source for Custom Action Table in SQL 2008 and above.

Up till SQL 9.0, there used to be a CustomAction table in SqlRun.msi but this file was removed in the later versions. Is this still there in any other file or is there an alternate source for pausing the install process at a certain stage?
yup

SQLrun.msi is removed from 2008 onwards but it was not used for stopping intall process as per below link it was used for starting SQL server and getting info about list of application installed

Final Cut Timeline Feed as video source for iChat?

I was at the Apple NAB presentation in Vegas a few weeks ago, and one of the things they showcased in regard to iChat AV was the ability for an editor to videoconference with several other people at once and one of the video feeds in the chat window was actually the output from the editor's Final Cut Pro timeline. As he made changes in the FCP timeline, he could play it out in real time and all the people in the chat could see the video feed and make comments on the edit.
OK- so we were excited because that's a workflow issue we have here. So, we bought some iSight cameras and Tiger and started to do some testing here. The only problem is that it doesn't seem very easy to set up. At first I just thought, "well, they are just playing the timeline out of the firewire port on the FCP machine and another computer is ingesting that firewire stream as a video source for iChat." except when you connect 2 Macs together with a firewire cable, the FCP system doesn't detect a DV video device to output to and the iChat system doesn't detect the incoming firewire stream as a "camera". I spoke to tech support and they said it's not something they support so no luck there.
I did find an article on Creative Cow about someone doing something similar, but it involved exporting the FCP timeline out through a Kona analog video card into an external tape deck that does analog to DV conversion which then can be imported back into iChat as a DV stream, but last time I checked, a Kona card would run me around 1500 bucks.
Anyone have any other ideas?

HI Jeremy,
Welcome to the Aple Discussion Pages.
Based on the Auto Responding iChat Accounts that play films I would guess they were either using an AppleScript to import FCP as the Video sourdce or usiing an Add-On like iChatUSBCam that also alows you to change the video source to the desktop.
iChatUSBcam has a new beta for Tiger http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/

Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

Standard BI Data Source for FMGLFLEXT

Hello Friends,
The standard data source for the Financials New Legder is 0FI_GL_10 General Ledger: Leading Ledger Balances, which fetches the data from the FAGLFLEXT Table using the Extract Structure FAGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD. However there has been a migration of the FAGL table to FMGL table. And now the FAGLFLEXT is no longer populated with any FI postings data. And the new table which is getting the update is the FMGLFLEXT Table. GL Migration from FAGL to FMGL is a standard procedure. However I am not finding any Standard Data Source to fetch the data from the FMGLFLEXT Table.
Can anybody let me know if there is any standard datasource for this or should we create a custom data source to fetch the data from FMGLFLEXT using the FMGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD Extract Structure.
Appreciate help in this regard.
VB

Hello,
The requirement is resolved by the following:
If you want to use your own totals table (in this scenario FMGLFLEXT) as your basis, you first have to create the corresponding extraction structure using transaction FAGLBW01. In this way, all fields of the totals table are transferred into the extraction structure. Further In the OLTP system, call up transaction FAGLBW03 and Configure the DataSource and save your settings.

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2
