The difference between a .dmg file & a .cdr file (using Disk Utility) ?

Hi,
In particular, I created both from a DVD using Disk Utility.
When I chose "read only" a .dmg was created.
When I chose "DVD/CD Master" a .cdr was created.
They are exactly the same size.
Is there any difference ?
Thanks in advance.

HI Pat,
From Wikipedia: A file with the extension .dmg (an abbreviation for disk image) uses a disk image format commonly found on Mac OS X. The format allows secure password protection as well as file compression and hence serves both security and file distribution functions. Its most common function is the distribution of software over the Internet. When opened, DMG files are "mounted" as a drive within the Finder.
From: Wikipedia .cdr and ISO
ISO image
Filename extension .iso
Uniform Type Identifier public.iso-image
Type of format Disk image
Standard(s) ISO 9660
An ISO image is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc using a conventional ISO (International Organization for Standardization) format that is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO but Mac OS X ISO images often have the extension .CDR. The name "ISO" is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image can also contain UDF file system because UDF is backward-compatible to ISO 9660.

What is the difference between httpd.pid and httpd.lock files?

What is the difference between httpd.pid and httpd.lock files?

Hi;
Apache httpd saves the process id of the parent httpd process to the file logs/httpd.pid .
LockFile
Sets the path to the lockfile used when Oracle HTTP Server is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. It is recommended that default value be used. The main reason for changing it is if the logs directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile must be stored on a local disk.
For example: LockFile /oracle/Apache/Apache/logs/httpd.lock"

IDVD image files not always burning using Disk Utility

I am using iDVD 06 to create media, from FCE .mov, and have been using the "Create DVD image file" option so that I can make quick copies for clients as needed. Recently a LOT of my gens, using Disk Utility, have been rejected as 'not verifiable' hence wasting a good disk. Some of them do get created successfully. I am currently using WINDATA DVD+R disks. Not sure if this is an iDVD problem or Disk Utility problem frankly. Have reverted back to creating multiple copies in iDVD after the initial 'slow' burn of the original. Thanks

I am currently using WINDATA DVD+R disks. Not sure if this is an iDVD problem or Disk Utility problem frankly
There is a third choice that I think is the most likely problem source - WINDATA DVD+R disks themselves.
I'm 'not big' on + media for single layer disks anyway, but if you are supplying clients with discs you burned, you really ought to use good quality media like Verbatim or Maxell.
BTW, I always recommend reducing the burn speed in Disk Utility to 4x or lower (I use 2x)

What is the difference between PUSH and FETCH

I am a little confused. I use my iphone for both my personal POP email accounts and my business exchange account. I am trying to save as much battery as I can so I turned off push and set everything to manual...but now when I try and get may mail....it either says "connecting" or "checking for new mail" at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens from there.
What is the best way to setup this situation for the most battery life? I don't need it to automatically download emails just when I open the email accout would be nice.
I also noticed that when I delete an email from my iphone on my exchange account, it also deletes is on my desktop at work...I need to turn this off...is it possible?

Hi maxum25,
The difference between push and fetch is that:
When using push, the server sends a signal to the iphone and lets it know that an email is coming its direction. Kind of like receiving a call. The iphone does not need to do anything except receive the email.
When using fetch, the iphone has to wake up every so often and send a request to the server to see if there is any new email waiting for it on the server to download. This takes more time because the iphone sends a request, the server says yes there is some, the iphone says ok give me the new email.
Now the exchange email uses active sync to keep all changes on the exchange server and mobile device in sync. This is automatic and is the nature of exchange and active sync. In order to keep this from happening you would need to talk to your IT dept. and see if they have an imap or pop alternative. Even using imap reflects the changes back to the server.
Hope this helps.

What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?

Hi everybody,
i am facing a problem in my system.It is quite urgent, can you explain me "What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?".
According to user's requirement, they need to generate a code with format "YYMRRR".
YY = year of current year
M = month of current month (IF M >=10 'A' ,M >=11 'B' , M >=10 'C')
RRR = sequence number
Example: we have table USER(USER_ID , USER_NAME , USER_CODE)
EX: SYSDATE = "05-29-2012" MM-DD-YYYY
IF 10
ROW USER_ID , USER_NAME , USER_CODE
1- UID01 , AAAAA , 125001
2- UID02 , AAAAA , 125002
10- UID010 , AAAAA , 12A010
This is the original Script code. But This script runs very well at my Local. Right format. But it just happens wrong format on production.
12A010 (Right) => 11C010 (Wrong).
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YY') || DECODE( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM'),'01','1', '02','2', '03','3', '04','4', '05','5', '06','6', '07','7', '08','8','09','9', '10','A', '11','B', '12','C') ||     NVL(SUBSTR(MAX(USER_CODE), 4, 3), '000') USER_CODE FROM TVC_VSL_SCH
     WHERE TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YY') = SUBSTR(USER_CODE,0,2)
     AND TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM') = DECODE(SUBSTR(USER_CODE,3,1),'1','01',
          '2','02', '3','03', '4','04', '5','05',
          '6','06', '7','07', '8','08', '9','09',
          'A','10', 'B','11', 'C','12')
I want to know "What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?".

try to use following select
with t as
(select TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YY') ||
         DECODE(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM'),
                '01', '1',
                '02', '2',
                '03', '3',
                '04', '4',
                '05', '5',
                '06', '6',
                '07', '7',
                '08', '8',
                '09', '9',
                '10', 'A',
                '11', 'B',
                '12', 'C') as code
    from dual)
SELECT t.code || NVL(SUBSTR(MAX(USER_CODE), 4, 3), '000') USER_CODE
FROM TVC_VSL_SCH
WHERE SUBSTR(USER_CODE, 1, 3) = t.codeand yes you need check time on your prodaction server
good luck

What the difference between icloud and a hosted exchange?

What would be recomended for syncing outlook email, calender, contacts, notes, tasks with iphone? I use a hosted exchange with a BB now but icloud seems to do all the same things. What is the difference between them? This is for home use only to sync multiple pc's with an iphone 4s. Should I cancel my exchange service before buying the iphone or leave it as is?

What's the difference between these two networks?

Have searched a lot but can not find a clear answer to the difference between these two networks.
(I'm using these as examples only)
Using Airport utility
* sometimes theres a dotted line "......"
*And sometimes there's a solid line like a " } "
I chose these as an example because ours is just like the first example above.
However sometimes our presents similar to the above example only with two devices, not three.

Dotted line is wireless.. Solid line is ethernet..
Normally all ethernet should show as your lower picture since all are directly wired..
Wireless should show which Airport is the main base and which extend using wireless.
But it is 50% science and 80% voodoo (voodoo cannot count even!!)

When to use Infotype 0014 & 0015? what is the differences between them?

When to use Infotype 0014 & 0015? what is the differences between them?

Hello
Infotype 14 is used for recuring payment and deductions
The wagetype to be used for IT0014 is maintained in VV_52D7_B_0014_AL0 ,against the country grouping.
IT0014 is always entered with a start date and end date along with the wagetype and amount /unit relevent for payment/deduction
Say you want to make a special allowance payment to some employee for a period of 6 months only.
So in IT0014,you will enter the wagetype that is maintained for special allowance with a start date of say 01.10.2011 to 31.03.2012 with amont as Rs.1000.
So when you run payroll for the period october 2011 until march 2012,this amount of Rs.1000 will be paid to the employee
Infotype 15 is used for one time payment or deductions.
The wagetype to be used for IT0015 is maintained in VV_52D7_B_0015_AL0,against the country grouping
IT0015 is always entered with an effective date along with the wagetype and amount/unit relevent for payment deduction.
You want to make performance award pay to employees in the month of march 2012.
You will enter the amount in IT0015 with the effective date as 31.03.2012 for the wagetype as maintained for performance award ,amount say rs.50000.This amount will be caluclated and paid to the employee as a one time payment in march 2012 payroll

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
RH9.0.2.271
I'm using Webhelp

Hi there
When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
<meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
is my understanding till here correct?
Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
can redo-log files not store this information?
in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
kindly clarify my doubt.
thank you.

This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

What is the difference between data file & control file

what is the difference between data file & control file

Dear Deba s
Control file
Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:
The database name
Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
The timestamp of the database creation
The current log sequence number
Checkpoint information
For more info look into these
[Control File Basic|http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/control.htm#i1006143]
Data File
You manage Data File in your Oracle database as part of Space Management. You can extend, create, drop, and alter tablespaces.
You especially need to avoid tablespace overflow, which is when a tablespace runs out of freespace in the allocated file or files. This happens when an object requires a new extent but there is either no freespace or insufficient freespace in the tablespace

The difference between a OS server and an HD

Could someone explain to me the difference between a hard drive on a network an an OS based server? Right now I have all my captured raw footage on a 1 terabyte HD on the network. My wife and I access these files from different computers. What would a server do that would be different.

No.
OS X Server is a general server-spec version of Mac OS X. Final Cut Server is an application that can run on either Mac OS X client or Mac OS X Server. Mac OS X Server includes several functional differences from Mac OS X client that make it easy to operate as a Mail server, DNS server, Directory server, web server, database server, etc.
Many of those same functions and operations are possible with Mac OS X Client, but you'd be running them all from the command line and the slick GUI and integrations that are part of OS X Server would be absent.
