Thump rule for SGA sizing depends on TOTAL DB SIZE

Is there any thump rule for sizing SGA depends on TOTAL database size for OLTP system?

Please dont do that. There was a thumb rule that if you are using oracle >=9i, you can go upto 80% of your physical RAM. But, I will not advice you so.
Start your SGA with an optimal value, keep on eye on your performance, take statspack report and if further increase required in the SGA, go ahed.
Because, setting over size SGA cause problems as well setting below par sga also provide poor performance. It should be sized optimially.
There are few good notes available in metalink.

Settlement Rule for Internal Order

Hi All
I have Maintained Settlement rule for Internal order as under
CAT - FXA
Settlement Receiver - Asset
% - 100
Settlement type - Full
Now after settlement of above Order in KO88 . I want again use above internal order. Hence i have trying to put Settlement rule 50% for some anther asset but system gave me following error. Please guide on this issue.
Total = 50.00%, ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ), period 010/2011
Message no. KD042
Diagnosis
You have entered distribution rules which settle 50.00% in total. This applies for settlement view ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ) in period 010/2011.
When checking the percentage total, the system found one of the following errors:
The total percentage for the distribution rules is more than 100%
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and this is a rule for full settlement.
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and the 100% check is switched on in the settlement profile.

Hi:
        Please refer to the contents of OSS Note 45612 - IM: pre-settlement does not work, or KD042... which states
"Symptom
    1. If a preliminary settlement rule (for example, to cost center) is entered for individual items of capital investment measures with line item management, this rule is not considered during periodic settlement. There is no settlement to cost centers.
    2. If you enter a final settlement rule for individual line items of investment measures with line item management for a partial capitalization (that is, the percentage rate is less than 100%), then you receive the unjustified error message KD042 "Total percent = xx%".
Additional key words
KOB5, CJ70, CJ88, CJ8G, KO88, KO8G, preliminary settlement, partial settlement, partial capitalization
Cause and prerequisites
    1. You did not enter the settlement type ACT in the preliminary settlement rule.
    You can check this in the Line Item Apportionment transaction by choosing the menu option "Goto" -> "Overview dist. rules" to display the distribution rule groups entered so far.
    The system displays rules which have no entry in the "SetTyp" field (settlement type, field name PERBZ).
    2. The check of the percentages is incorrect.
Solution
    1. Install the following correction. Afterwards reverse the incorrect settlement, re-enter the preliminary settlement rule and settle again.
    2. Install the following correction. Afterwards, you can maintain the settlement rule for the partial settlement.
    Note: If you want to use a default settlement rule (maintaining the settlement rule from the master data maintenance transaction), then you are required to distribute the line items at 100%. In order to carry out a partial capitalization (settlement of less than 100%), you have to use menu path "Actual postings -> Period-end closing -> Settlement -> Line item "

Feather radius for selection depending on the image size

Greetings everyone,
I have a question about setting the feather radius for a selection depending on the image size. I'd like make the edge in the resultant layer mask have roughly the 'same' feather appearance for varying image sizes.
For files below 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.2
For files above 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.3
However, I started working with 4000-10000 pixel images and I was wondering about the radius for those images.
Is there a more 'scientific' method I could follow? Any thoughts welcome
Many thanks
gr

You would need to use Photoshop scripting to do that. Also using number of Pixels might not be what you want to use. While number pixel is an absolute number pixels you have have no size information till there is a DPI resolution involved. At 300 DPI 300 pixels are 1" in size at 72 DPI 300 pixels are 4.16 inches in size.
A conditional action is not possible adobe conditional action support but is possible with the downloadable script Siva's Contitional Action

Settlement rule for order

hi co guru sir....kindly guide me to maintain settlement rule for production order. steps by steps..plz..
problem is this when i create planned order to production order ..first screen open for maintain settlement rule...i have maintained..but may be wrong...
plz guide me for maintain the settlement rule........
thanx

Hi,
Settlement rule determines which portion of the costs on a sender should be settled to which receiver(s).
You need to create a settlement rule to settle the actual costs of a sender object. The settlement rule contains the distribution rules for the sender.
Structure: The settlement rule contains:
- One or more distribution rules
- The settlement parameters for a sender object.
Creating a Settlement Rule:
You previously had to maintain the settlement rule for internal orders manually. Now the system can automatically generate settlement rules for internal orders.
Procedure:
1) Choose Settlement rule in the master data maintenance for the relevant sender object.
The Maintain Settlement Rules: Overview screen appears.
If you stored a default for account assignments in the settlement profile then the system displays the existing distribution rules. The settlement receiver is the object type you stored as an account assignment default in the settlement profile.
You maintain settlement rules in Customizing under Controlling -> Internal Orders -> Actual Postings -> Settlement -> Maintain Settlement Profiles.
2) Choose Edit -> New rule or enter the value directly.
Specify how the sender object costs are to be settled to the various settlement receivers:
- By percentage
- By equivalence numbers
For distribution rules of the same settlement type (periodic or total) you need to determine the portion using either percentage rates or equivalence numbers.
Specify the settlement type for each distribution rule.
The system defaults the settlement type depending on the receiver, for example PER for cost center, FUL for fixed asset. You can overwrite the default value, if required. When you save the sender object, you automatically save the settlement rule.
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

Recommended size for SGA.

Hi All,
I need to know what will be the recommended size for the SGA.
how to calculate the MAX size for sga?
its an interview question.
Please help?

SGA is composed of buffer_cache, shared_pool, java_pool, large_pool etc. How much memory they need depends on the number of users, the number of different sql statements, the size of the plsql packages, the size of the database, the type of query etc.
You size SGA to get the best performance you can on the server based on what you need to run. There is no rule or formula, just make it as big as possible to give the best performance without causing the server to use paging.
The Max size will depend on how much memory is on the server, the OS you are running, and whether you are using 32 or 64 bit Oracle.

'Activation error..' message when uploading rules for multiple territories

Hi All,
When trying to upload rules for multiple territories using Excel, only a few territories get activated and for the rest an error saying 'Activation Error for Function <hexadecimal values>...N: see following message for details' is displayed. It was found that this is due to the territories getting locked.
The create_rule() and save_rule() methods of CL_CRM_FDT class and FM CRM_TERRMAN_LINK_BUFFER_UPDATE are used for this functionality.
Kindly suggest some ways to unlock or any other alternatives.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

INTRASTAT reporting rules for France french (receipt)

Hello experts,
I would like to know the rules for selection and inclusion of the data for the INTRASTAT report for import.
My country is FRANCE. I know that the logic depends on the country.
I've not found a thread explaining France.
My SAP is 4.7.
Thanks a lot for any response

Hi,
I suggest you the Note 1016386 - Intrastat for Romania. Althought it is for Romania, this note contains a document that explain the setttings in IMG, functional steps, etc...
In notes, if you search notes with the string 'INTRASTAT FRANCE' you have around 25 notes by legal changes. The differences in countries are formats of files, paper declarations, etc..
Each country call a report to do the 'document' (file or paper) In your case: RVEXDAIF and RVEXPAIF. Run it in SE38 and read the info.
If you need something else, let me know it.
I hope this helps you
Regards,
Eduardo

What Are the Exact Basic rules for Replying a Thread...... -:) @};-

Hi Experts,
After Looking into the forums many days I had a small conclusion about forums,
SAP Forums are better place I have seen for getting a goo dhelp & Knowledge...
Why can't we make it a BEST Place.
This is just a small doubt which I would like to clear myself first,
I have seen many users In the forums asking for a Basic Questions
When cleared, But still they want to have a Spoon feeding with a Sample Code.
When Sample Code Given they will provide the original code and requests for Modifications.
These always looks to me as crazy.
I have seen somelong time agin by moderators posting that In SCN there will be no SPOON FEEDING.
I am not sure whether if still this Rule AVAILABLE or NOT.
Ok if the task is really difficult let them ask again and again,
And it was not replied, let them repost, I agree with them.
And How about a User Registered in SDN very long back and asking for a silly question in below thread,
[Sendin Email to the recipent list -Need correct FM |Getting the address from shipto partner of Bil. item not directly from C.ma]
This is one more example, really funny, The thread poster needs the solution at any cost, he doesn't require and Suggetions,,, {He Only needs Solution}
[Radio Buttons |Radio Buttons;
[Turning Off Debugger |Turning Off Debugger;
[Regarding Amount in words|Regarding Amount in words;
There are 100's of threads like this....Everyone knows this facts.
Check this who answered this one and who replied correct answer, who copied, finally who was rewarded...!
[how to validate POsting period |Re: how to validate POsting period]
Now My Real Problem is....!
User is always intelligent, Only the weakness is in Contributor, trying to help them,..,
And I openly say that Someone requesting for basic help is not DUMB, But the Contributor replying forgets
the basic rules " Why Contributing ?"
According to me It's not the Requestor to see Rules & Requlations before posting the threads,
But its responsibilty for the Contributing person to see th Rules & Requlations before replying the threads,
If we follow the rules and stand on a single word or rule or anything there will be Good Result.
Major Problem is in US not anyone else.
Example Some one saying search in the forum,,, then please no replies after that...
But we are very pity hearted again we post the solution,,,
But it is not at all enough(for cintribtor's)... they will copy the solution and post again by slight Modifications,
And Some users are having 500,600,700,800 Posts with 0 points, registered long long back.
They are completly dependent on forums,,, As they goto office and as they eat, The same they open forums and ask Queries...
They will never realize what they are doing,, and we will never let them improve better...
Finally Lets Discuss About this and Correct & Suggest me if I am wrong,
Is my thoughts are going in the right way or not I am not even sure... Please Aslo Correct me if I did any mistakes.
Thanks & regards,
Dileep .C

Hi Stephen,
Very useful Information,
First tell me a little something about my self...
After completion of my certification(as a fresher) I was down the streets hunting the job,
with the insufficient knowledge and being a non-experienced person, I never got one.
And mean while when I got my "S-UserID", I used to be proud, To say frankly, I registerd in SDN & SAP all at a time, without even knowing what I can do there..,
When I got a job afterwords I was doing the job and never seen SDN page for many months,
when I came to know that of we have doubts we can post at SDN. then started requesting help,
I posted only a little, I didnot got the proper response. on that day I decided,
still there are some places where we cannot get help on time and there will be people waiting to get help,
Why cant I put some of my efforts to help others.
Then I searched some topic by Topic in SDN topic by Topic I used to read threads just for knowledge.
when I feel my self comfort for contributing, I started contibuting...!
If you haven't read it, take a look first, so you can understand where things are now.
I dont know where things are now. But these in this thread I mentioned clearly what I seen from the day I started contributing.
I searched with the terms of 'Rules for replying', The results are not as I expected, and this link has subject as
"O SDN, where art thou?" So it dosent hit my in the list.
Like everybody until a certain stage I am also rushing for points.
But I most cases I never tried to copy paste answers. If I done some then that is just to point it myself some day,
I have no hopes or no intrest on the points...! This was discussed with Rob & Matt, at my inital contribution where my points are 36.
From that day till date I have changed a lot to myself.
Everyone cannot change like me because they are not like me & And I dont even expect that...!
I will be online almost 6-8Hrs a day, Not even getting intrest to see the forums just because of the co-contributors.
My only point is I am just requesting to a co-contributor,
Clearly In a example : Lets say contributor has replied to a thread, and if you know that is a correct solution,
please dont reply any more, If you have a better solution than that, then only reply,
Even there is one reply in the thread not a matter, if correct answer leave that query.
If still error persists, Show up with your Idea's...
Dont let down the contributor, by copying his reply and editing and pasting(edit only if incorrect).
I am just looking for this one exactly to circulate between ourselfs.
For this we a little support from moderators to circulate(may be as a rule or may be as a mail to them)
You may say again how many mails we have to send, It dosent matter, one mail to one person one time,
and +ve factors will show up definetly.
A real contributor always understand what I am talking about, but some one who hunts for points will never.
I am really sorry if I am troubling with my doubts & requests,
If so, Pleae forgive me,,
Thanks & regards,

AT&T has rules for the iPhone 3G S launch - Lines allowed to form starting at 7am

AT&T has rules for iPhone 3G S launch - Lines allowed to form starting at 7am
Perhaps AT&T has learned some from the troubles with iPhone past launches and they are going to try to make the experience better by settings some rules this time around. While AT&T is calling these “rules” guidelines, we think it really is nothing more than an effort to make a success of what the company hopes is one of the biggest tech event launches of the year.
AT&T stores will receive inventory in time for the actual launch on June 19th. AT&T is already accepting pre-orders online as well as in stores. This change is key this time around because those that choose not to place a pre-order could be left out in the cold. From our understanding, pre-order customers will be given priority.
The way that it will work is when the AT&T store opens, customers in line will then be split into two lines, with those already having a pre-order placed in one line and those who don’t have a pre-order placed in the other line. Pre-order customers will be able to start receiving their new iPhone 3G S starting shortly after 7 A.M., while those without a pre-order will have to wait until the store’s official regular opening time. Upon the actual regular opening time of the store, the two lines will then be merged into one line again. Apple retail stores will also be an option as they will open at 8 A.M. on launch day, but only those that pre-order from the Apple retail store will actually be able to pick up their phones early.
As for the pricing, current AT&T customers that have had a contract with AT&T for at least 18 months will be able to get the new 16GB model for $199 or a 32GB model for $299. If you happen to be a current AT&T iPhone owner, but have not gone 18 months on your current contract, you will be able to pick up a new iPhone 3G S but will have to pay between $399 to $599, depending on how much time is left on your current contract and whether you want the 16GB or 32GB model. From what we understand, you will have to agree to another 2-year contract to get the iPhone 3G S this time around.
The only actual possible loophole in this deal is to cancel your current AT&T contract and pay the $175 early termination fee and then wait three months. After the three months have lapsed, you can return to AT&T and then get new customer pricing, which would save you $225, but you have to endure a three-month wait.
While the pricing and the options might make some AT&T customers unhappy, it is what it is. The bottom line is that the iPhone is still so hot, AT&T knows that people will pay what it takes to sport the new version if they are a big iPhone fan. According to our sources, AT&T should have enough inventory to more than cover the pre-orders, but beyond the pre-orders it is difficult to say if they will be able to meet the demand on launch day for additional units. Our advice is that if you want to have one on launch day, you had better get your pre-order in soon.
Source:
http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/14181/1/

I believe if you are a current AT&T Customer and wish to ADD a new phone to your account you will be able to get the new 16GB model for $199 or a 32GB model for $299. I went through
http://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/
and selected "Add a new line to my existing account" and was shown pricing as $199 for 16 GB and $299 for 32 GB.
Hard to see this as any benefit unless you need an additional line on an existing account, which I happen to (I bought a new "additional line" 3G just before the 3GS was announced, and will fit into the "return" window)

Best Practice for disparately sized data

2 questions in about 20 minutes!
We have a cache, which holds approx 80K objects, which expired after 24 hours. It's a rolling population, so the number of objects is fairly static. We're over a 64 node cluster, high units set, giving ample space. But.....the data has a wide size range, from a few bytes, to 30Mb, and everywhere in between. This causes some very hot nodes.
Is there a best practice for handling a wide range of object size in a single cache, or can we do anything on input to spread the load more evenly?
Or does none of this make any sense at all?
Cheers
A

AHi A,
It depends... if there is a relationship between keys and sizes, e.g. if this or that part of the key means that the size of the value will be big, then you can implement a key partitioning strategy possibly together with keyassociation on the key in a way that it will evenly spread the large entries across the partitions (and have enough partitions).
Unfortunately you would likely not get a totally even distribution across nodes because of having fairly small amount of entries compared to the square of the number of nodes (btw, which version of Coherence are you using?)...
Best regards,
Robert

How do you handle update and delete rules for fact tables?

I have a fact table with a composite key of 5 columns. Two of the columns are FKs to the date dimension. I was setting the delete/update rules for the FK relationship in SSMS and it had a problem with me creating cascade action on the FKs that connected
to the date dimension.
What is the proper way to set up FK relationships in fact tables with SSMS when you have composite keys as most fact tables do?

Yeah I understand all that. What I'm trying to do is to protect my database from RI violations that occur by production support people blowing away stuff in a dimension table but forgetting to blow away related records in the fact table. I want those fact
records deleted automatically so we don't have orphan records which was a real issue at a previous engagement. Production support is usually just people that know SQL and some relational modeling. It's not too likely they will understand the details of dimensional
modeling enough such that they would know that they had to blow away the fact record first.
My problem is I have a FK to a role playing dimension (the date dimension in this case). So basically I have to columns in the fact table that have a FK relationship to the PK of the date dimension. When I create both relationships SSMS and try to have both
of them cascade delete SSMS has an issue with it.
The error I get is:
Unable to create relationship '[relationship name]'
Introducing Foreign Key constraint '[constraint name]' on table '[table name]' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other foreign key constraints.
I can go ahead and put no action and the table will save fine. The question now becomes how does the cascade delete actually work. Can I just set one part of the key to cascade delete?
Actually I just realized that this is an even bigger design issue. What DOES happen to a fact record when one of it's dimensions gets deleted and I've got full RI set up on the table?
Or am I totally thinking about this wrong. Do you set up cascade deletes in a dimensional model? Is there a way to prevent deletes from the dimension table if there are related fact records?

Settlement rule for several assets but one internal order number

Hi,
I have a question regarding the settlement rule for an internal order. I have issued an internal order number to capture costs for a construction project. When the project is completed how do I update the settlement rule for the internal order to several assets all for different amounts?
For example an internal order number has collected costs of 150,000.00 for the completion of a building. When the building is complete and I want to do a final settlement of the internal order. I have one asset for land improvements for 43,000, another asset for the HVAC system for 33,000 and building costs of 74,000. When updating the settlement rule I know to create the assets and update the settlement rule with these asset numbers, but I am unclear on how to assign multiple assets with differnt amounts.

Hi ,
In the settlement rule , you need to select the Receiver as FXA and then enter the Asset number and then you will have to put the % that you want to settle to .
Like if you have 100/- Rs. total cost and you want to settle it to 2 assets in 60/- Rs. and 40/- Rs.
Then you will have to enter 2 line items in settlement rule with diffrent asset numbers and in proportion you will have to say 40 % and 60% , based on which the final settlement would happen .
So make the proportion changes in the settlement rule accordingly .

Steps to create substitution rule for field BSEG-RECID

MIRO generates FI document. FI document has BSEG-RECID field. I need to apply substitution for BSEG-RECID depending on the value of the RSEG-GEBER field in MIRO. The substitution must be activated only if account to be booked is PL account in FI and derived MM document based on ZNPP PO type.
Field values are as follows:
RSEG-GEBER     BSEG-RECID
No value                          No value
N                              N
D                              D
A                              A
Could anyone please let me know the steps to create the above substitution rule for the FI document
Thank You

Hi,
You can do it as below:
Prerequisite : Select the document type for which you want check, here you have to select the BKPF-BLART = " " (Give the document type for the MIRO)
Substitution: Use the User exit with the logic as you said.
If you want you can use the user exit in both PREREQ & SUBSTITUTION. It will be applicable in your case

Rules for iMovie/FCE/iDVD

Reading through many posts seems I find some general rules of thumb not found elsewhere. Thanks in advance for all comments.
For serious video editing work and creation an external firewire HDD is needed, mainly to avoid dropped frames in either FCE or iMovie (iM). The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.
I just did a 45 min project in iM with no noted dropped frames but likely would in much longer projects if I don't get the external drive?
Audio bit rate. Advice I read for iM is that without 16 bit audio the audio gets out of sync in long projects--does FCE also need 16 instead of 12? Not knowing this need, I've recorded a number of projects (with a DV deck and a DV camcorder) in 12--can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?
Chapter Markers. Seems there are "Rules for Chapter Markers" that I won't repeat here but suspect they apply to both FCE/iM when used with iDVD. Do those rules apply when you use DVDStudio instead of iDVD? One rule I haven't seen yet is that one should likely not use the apply chapter markers option in iDVD as it could apply a marker that violates the "rules" and cause strange results in the DVD when played, right?
Any other rules or concerns I've missed--perhaps always max out on RAM even if its rather costly? What other basic tips or secrets should I know for editing with these products?
Dale

"..The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.."
This may not be true if you're trying to connect a Canon camcorder to the Mac at the same time as an external hard disc: Canons like to have the FireWire circuit all to themselves, and so you may need to do it in two steps with a Canon ..capture to the internal hard disc, then unplug the Canon, plug in the external disc and transfer the movie clips across to the external, and then use that for editing. This doesn't affect Sonys, which happily work with other FW devices connected to the system. I don't know about Panasonics and other brands (..I haven't tried my Panny with an external disc connected, and am in too much of a hurry at the moment to try it. Maybe later today..)
"..can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?.."
No ..FireWire's a digital connection system, so what goes in at one end (..12-bit source tape..) is exactly what's captured at the other end (..iMac/external HDD in 16..)
One way to convert would be to play your source video into another camcorder through analogue (RCA) connections, with the 2nd camcorder set to record in 16-bit ..or use some other device which accepts an analogue signal IN, and provides a digital signal OUT. That'll recapture the sound in 16-bit, and it can then be transferred into your Mac in 16-bit. But the video may be degraded a little, and it's rather long-winded.
It may be that, once imported as 12-bit, GarageBand can convert 12-bit audio into 16-bit ..I don't know: I'm not that familiar with GarageBand, sorry..
Just try testing your 12-bit audio in iMovie or FCE first ..some people have no difficulties with it ..others do. (..That may depend on whether you're using only your original 12-bit audio, or if you're also trying to mix it with 16-bit audio within the movie project..)
However, note that - once again - Canons are quirky. Because of the way that their own particular internal 12-bit timing runs, Canon-shot 12-bit tapes may give the audio drifting out-of-sync a little on single clips which are longer than 20 minutes. This shouldn't be apparent on ordinary short clips, but if you've shot, say, a school play or concert as a single take on a Canon in 12-bit audio mode, the audio may slowly go out of sync after 20 mins, and would need correcting in iMovie or FCE.
Can't comment on Chapter Markers in DVD Studio vs. iDVD ..I've never had any trouble with Chapter Markers.
"..always max out on RAM.." ..more RAM usually helps; the most noticeable improvement is when jumping up from, say, 256MB to anything above that. The next jump, from 512MB to 1GB is also useful, but doesn't provide such a spectacular improvement as that first increase. More RAM generally means that your Mac has less need to swap things from RAM to "virtual memory" on your hard disc, so less "disc thrashing" as material's repeatedly swapped back and forth, and greater speed of access if you're not constantly reading to and writing from the hard disc.
Fitting a second internal disc, in Macs which can take it, and putting your movie project on that ..or on an external disc, as you suggest.. also relieves "disc thrashing" and any instances of the OS trying to get access to the hard disc at the same time as the movie program wants access.
To stop any delays in accessing an external hard disc, as soon as you've reformatted it to 'Mac OS Extended' (..using Disk Utility..) then open System Prefs, and the 'Spotlight' preference, and then click the 'Privacy' tab, and drag the external disc's icon into the big square space which is labelled "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations". That stops Spotlight indexing every video clip which you import onto the external disc, which can slow down disc access.
The cup-of-tea icon is a good thing to click on every now and again, in both iMovie and FCE. That lets you stop editing for a while, have tea and biscuits, and come back refreshed, with new ideas..!

Missing Update Rules for 0IC_C03 in Business Content

We had a problem with 0IC_C03, so we decided to reload from Business Content and then migrate to 7.0 format again.
However, when we try to gather all of the dependent objects for the InfoCube in Business Content, we only get one set of obsolete update rules (2LIS_40_S278), and the update rules for 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM do not show up. They do not appear under update rules, either.
I know they were there at one point because I activated and migrated the cube once already.
Can someone help us find our lost update rules?

Hi Dan,
There are no update rules deliverd with BI 7.0 for 0IC_C03. There are only
transformations Delivered as part of the content. In the new release
Transformation replace the update rules and the transfer rules.
You have the 3 data sources and the associated transformations to
upload data to the infoCube.
