Third-party external hardrive as media server

I need to buy an external hard drive to store my rapidly increasing library. For space and cost reasons I'd rather go for a third-party drive with RAID than Apple's time capsule as I can upsize the drives as the library grows. BUT I also want to get some sort of media server so I can watch/listen/look at my files on the various TVs/HiFis I have throughout the house. Would I be able to do that with one piece of third-party kit (I have been recommended a networked HDD) and still run Front Row through it? If so how should it be set up?

Hi, yes you can do this (you have to choose either\or setup.
I use a Buffalo NAS Linkstation Live (1TB) - I setup a folder share to be my media share. This means that the following pickup my NAS drive:
1. PS3
2. iMac
3. MacBook Pro
4. iPhone(s)
5. TV
6. Dell laptop (iTunes)
7. Lenovo laptop (iTunes)
I need to find out if this works with AppleTV - I am sure it will.
I bought through amazon - cheap and cheerful. Works a treat.

How to hide url of third party external/partner application

I have a third party external oracle application arcims by the esri corporation that I have on a test portal.
It has it's own password authentication. In order to have sso work i have to turn off its password request.
The problem is that the URL address shows in the portal. Anyone could simply type in the URL and access the application directly and bypass the portal login. Can One hide or wrap the URL in portal? If so HOW is that done?

Since you'va already made Java non-portable by using Runtime, you're probably bbest off using the OS's capabilities to find the program's path.
If the 3rd party program was always contained in Java's classpath list, you could use Class.getResource().

Do third party external optical drives work with retina powerbook?

do third party external optical drives work (read and write) with the retina powerbook?

Sure - any number of them. For best results, however, I'd shop OWC or MacMall to ensure Mac compatibility.

E3000 external storage and media server problem

I have connected my LaCie rugged drive to the router and would like to use it as backup storage and as a way to stream video to my PS3.
When I go to my advanced settings for the router and go to the storage heading I can see my LaCie and its specifications. There is a button next to it that says "claim", which I press, but nothing happens.
I don't have the option to create a shared folder, and I can't access the drive from my Mac.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
On a somewhat related note, I've enabled the media server and can find it on my PS3, but there is nothing in the root folders. How do I put stuff (movies, music,etc.) into these root folders?

Thanks, that did help. I attached a different drive to the router and was then able to create a shared folder.
I can now see the shared folder on my Mac. I open this folder and there's the icon with my network name. I double click on the network name and I get a popup with the following message: "Select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to." and then a drop down box with the name of the shared folder I created and a public folder. I select the shared drive I created and click OK.
I then get another popup with the following message:
SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
Enter the workgroup or domain and your user name and password to access the server.
Already filled out in the Workgroup or Domain is the name of one of the folders I created on the share drive. Under username is my name and password is blank. I enter in the password for the network and click OK.
I then get the following message: The alis "'my network name'" could not be opened because it could not be found.
and then the message gives me the following options:
Delete Alias
Fix Alias
OK
It won't let me delete the alias
I've tried fixing the alias, but when I click on the option to do this, it just takes me to my file folder structure and asks me to choose a file. I'm not sure what I should do here.
Any idea on what to do so I can access the shared folder I created?
Also, on our other computer which runs windows I'm not sure how to create a root folder. How do I do this?

Using third party jdbc drivers in Portal server

I have an application that runs inside the WebLogic Portal server. The portal server
is configured to work with Oracle using the default oracle driver that comes with
weblogic.
My application, however, also needs to connect to a database. I am using the oracle-oci
driver ( type 2 - provided by oracle) in my application.
However, intermittantly i am getting an exception as follows:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x6044c4bc

This is not happening always.
Another related question is can the portal server use my driver instead of its
own. If somebody from BEA is listening in, will BEA support such an installation?
Any ideas are welcome.

Hi,
Unfortunately there was a regression bug around using the Generic JDBC connector to a Foreign Database in this Technology Preview (3). I'm not able to give you good news as I don't have a workaround for you either.
You could use SQLDeveloper to connect to the database for live work, unfortunately that will not help if you wanted to create offline objects of some sort using JDeveloper.

Superdrive or third-party external burner?

I want to buy a dvd burner for my MBA and panasonic camcorder SD5.
Can Superdrive works fine with SD5?
or, can Panasonic's external burner (LF-P968 / VW-BN1) works with MBA?

I used the USB external portable drive which came with the LG A1 ultraportable laptop and it worked great with the Macbook Air. Funny enough, this thing is even slightly thinner and lighter than the MBA Superdrive. I also have the Superdrive, both work great, incl. Boot Camp.

External web service provided by third party application

Hi all,
Hope to clarify some doubts on usage of Enterprise Service Repository. I understand that ESR is the storage of service interfaces that may be provided or consume by different systems in the landscape.
If a business process is required to consume an external web service that is provided by a third party application on some web server, does the ESR stores the definition of the web service and provides it to the business process?
Is ESR only a repository for service interfaces that would be implemented by the internal systems?
Regards

I was looking to confirm my understanding about defining external webservices in Enterprise Repository few weeks back. Though i did not get proper confirmation any one yet on this forum, here is my understanding,
1. One can define the service interface for the third party webservice in Enterprise Service Repository for the purposes of keeping track of available services in the organization and also to provide some documentation about it for other developers looking to reuse it.
2. One can also import the WSDL as external definition in to Enterprise Service Repository.
3. We may not be able to generate proxies for these third party provided applications

SNC with SAPRouter configuration for Third party company

Hi expers,
Need your advise for my below scenario.
We are running SAP on IBM i. My question is about outside world connectivity with encryption mechanism to SAP AS.
As of now , we are not using SNC either for internal / external network connectivity with SAP apps server. But we are going to allow third party company to connect for one of the payment processing takes place. Since the third party company not accepting VPN connectivity, we are planning to implement Separate SAPRouter configured with SNC, (encryption option), and open the firewall port for them. How much secured it is ? we are in the process of installaing and configuring windows server for SNC & SAPRouter installation. What are all the required configuration in SAP Application server level & new SNC server, for this ? How exactly SAPGui ( from third party company) to SAP Apps Server will go through the traffic ? Need experts advise on this ?
Basically I want to make sure, once it is configured, trafic will go through encrypted way outside of our network. Thanks in advance for all your valuable reply !

Best sub $200 External Hardrives?

Hey guys, I'm in the market for an external hardrive. I'm planning on spending no more than $200 and want something with maybe 80+ GB's. Can anyone recommend me a good, reliable drive?

Reliable is an operative word. All hard drives die eventually.
You want at least two copies of your data at all times.
http://www.macsales.com/ offers really nice external hard drives.
I'm not as fond of Western Digital or LaCie anymore for external drives, though internal Western Digital drives in a good third party external case work well and so do Seagate.

Third Party Processing in SRM 4.0

Hi,
We are working on Third Party Processing in SRM4.0 & SAP R/3 4.7.
We were able to transfer the Third party Requisition from Backend R/3 to SRM 4.0 Sourcing Cockpit as an External Requirement.
When we try to process the Third Party External Requirement to create a PO in Sourcing Cockpit, the system is not identifying the Customer Number as a Business Partner in SRM 4.0 and it is throwing a dump with the error message <b>'Partner xxxxxxxxxx not found'</b>
Please help us to understand the procedure for replicating the Backend R/3 Customer Masters and its Address into SRM 4.0
Where can i find documentation for Third Party Processing in SRM 4.0 as i could not find anything in SAP Help
Please do let me know if you need any details/clarifications
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sunil

Hi Vitthavat,
All you have done is fine.
As per you SO - PR is already automated, now to automate PO creation from PR:
Do the following thing:
1. Activate u2018Automatic PO' indicator for material master
2. Activate u2018Automatic PO' indicator for vendor master
3. The purchase requisitions with vendor assignments are converted into POs by a batch job using transaction ME59/ME59N and ABAP program with requisite parameters.
This ensures automatic creation of POs.
So result: When SO is saved PR and corresponding PO will be generated automatically.
Your problem will be solved.

Where to put Third Party Jars in an .ear file

Where to put Third Party Jar files in an .ear file so that they can be packaged along with the entire application and thus bypass the trouble of putting the third party .jars inside the application server lib directory and set the class path.

Just put them in the root of your EAR. You can specify them in the classpath of your EJB JAR's manifest.
