Tips to erase data to prep for return?

Unfortunately I'm going to return this rMBP. Only used it for about 6 hours today on and off the case creaking is really getting to me, especially around the right palm/wrist area.
Can anyone chime in on how to remove all my information on the hard drive before I return it?
I haven't decided on an exchange, might think about it a few days but I'm going to return this unit for sure.
Thanks!

Just be aware that your flash storage will never be safe from someone who desperately wants to access your files. Flash storage/SSDs must literally be crushed finely to 'securely' erase the data.

Wiping user data from iMac for return

Hi,
my replacement imac has arrived and this time the airport seems fine (see my previous post). Now I need to wipe all my user data off the other mac before it gets picked up for returns. What is the easiest / quickest way to do this?
Thanks,
Theo

Use Apple Disk Utility. Go to "Options" and use at least a 7-Pass Erase. A simple erase will leave much of your data vulnerable to recovery by any unwanted source or person.
Good luck.

Here's an overly chatty example that will show you what's happening:
$strContacts = 'Tony Stark', 'Anthony Edward Stark'
Write-Host 'User names:'
$strContacts
Write-Host
foreach ($strContact in $strContacts ) {
Write-Host "Start of loop. Processing $strContact now."
$arrContact = $strContact.Split(' ')
Write-Host
Write-Host "$strContact has been split apart into individual array elements based on a space character. The elements are below:"
$arrContact
Write-Host
Write-Host 'Start building filterName variable. Index of -1 gets the last element in the array.'
$filterName = "$($arrContact[-1]), "

Write-Host "filterName variable is now $filterName"
Write-Host
Write-Host "Now we need to trim off the trailing space character."
$filterName = $filterName.Trim()

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Billing Document Proforma invoice for Returns to vendor

I havescenerio where company is returning material back to vendor due to poor quality. They need material back for next replacement.
Return to vendor process is mad eby me as follows:
Make POME21NMIGOcheck MMBEReturnPO/MB01/MBRL Mvmt Type122+ReasonDelivery RLLType (ItemCatRLLN)PGIStock Reduced MMBE/MB52
Config Settings Item Category RLLN
Billing Relevance D Relevant for Proforma Invoice
Pricing X = Standard pricing
Copy Control Delivery to billing document VTFL
Source RLL Target F2
Header Copying Requirement=009 Deliv related Proforma invoice
Item=Tan Copying Req 010 DLV Proforma Billing qty= D Delivery Qty, Ps/Ng=-, Pricing Type= G Pricing unchanged & redetermine Taxes
PROBLEM: When I am trying to create proforma invocie with reference to delivery Error "Item is not relevant for billing"
Even I maintained everything in item category relevant fro billing. Proforma invoice is required.
Please suggest best way how to resolve this problem.

Hi Aman,
All data are well set & no problem. Now I just deleted Item category RLLN and just reassigned with the same parameter. When i created Proforma Invoice it allowed me to create. Here quantity appeared as 22 pcs but no pricing means No Value for this Proforma invocie. Can you suggest where to check the setting? In setting Item category RLLN i maintained
Copying Req 009= Deliv related Proforma
Data VBRK/VBRP= Blank
illing qty=D (Delivery Qty)
Ps/neg. quantity=Blank
Pricing Type=D (Copying pricing element unchanged)
Thanks for nice tip.
Aman, but I am unable to create F2 billing from this. Here I deleted Item category & reassigned with the same parameter but error log in billing says "The billing item does not conatin quantity".
Copying item maitained as Target F2 Source RLL
Header Copying Req=003 (Header Delivery Related) I also have 904=Deliv-related item
Assignment number=C
Reference number=E
Check box ticked Copying item number
Item category RLLN
Copying Req=004
VBRK/VBRP=003 Single invoice
Billing qty=D Delivery Qty
Pos/Neg=Negative (as goods are returned to vendor)
Pricing type=D (Unchanged)
Rest filed not maintained e.g. Pricing Echnage type, Cumul Cost
When creating F2 from delivery error"Billing item does not conatin quantity"
Means in Proforma and also billing There is no quantity. But in delivery Qty is maintained with PGI. PO also shows Minus for returned Qty 22.
Aman, any further clue will be much appreciated.Thanks for your time.

TIPS(63) : LONG DATA TYPE의 LENGTH 구하기

제품 : PL/SQL

TIPS(63) : LONG DATA TYPE의 LENGTH 구하기
=========================================
PURPOSE
다음은 function 을 적용할 수 없는 long data type 의 length 를
구하는 방법을 소개한다.
Explanation
Long DataType 에 대해 Length 를 구하려 하는 경우 다음과 같은 Error 가 발생한다.
SQL> create table TOY
2 (Toy_ID NUMBER, Description LONG);
Table created.
SQL> select LENGTH(Description) from TOY;
select LENGTH(Description) from TOY
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
"Inconsistent DataTypes" Error 는 LONG DataType 으로 정의된 Column 에
Function 을 적용하였기 때문에 발생한다.
VARCHAR2 Type 을 사용하면 정상 처리할 수 있으나, Oracle7 에서는 VARCHAR2 는
2,000 Characters 만 저장할 수 있으며, Oracle8 에서는 4,000 Characters 이다.
Oracle8 에서는 Long Data 를 저장하기 위해 LOB DataType 을 사용할 수 있으며,
LONG Data Type 은 Oracle7/Oracle8 모두 Support 되므로 LONG Type 에 대해
Length 를 확인하는 방법을 알아본다.
Example
다음은 anonymous PL/SQL Block 을 통해 TOY Table 에서 LONG Column 의
Length 를 구하는 Script 이다.
1. Single Record 에 대한 예
$ vi len_long.sql
declare
length_var NUMBER;
cursor TOY_CURSOR is
select * from TO;
toy_val TOY_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
begin
open TOY_CURSOR;
fetch TOY_CURSOR into toy_val;
length_var := LENGTH(toy_val.Description);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Length of Description: '||length_var);
close TOY_CURSOR;
end;
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> @len_long
Length of description : 21
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
2. Multiple Record 에 대해서는 cursor FOR Loop 를 사용한다.
$ vi len_long.sql
declare
length_var NUMBER;
cursor TOY_CURSOR is
select * from TOY;
toy_val TOY_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
begin
for toy_val in TOY_CURSOR loop
length_var := LENGTH(toy_val.Description);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: '||toy_val.Toy_ID);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Length of Description: '||length_var);
end loop;
end;

Hi Frank,
I have the exact same scenario where I have huge data coming from DB and its a must that I provide pagination.
I tried implementing as per the document but the pagination is not working for me too.
Details of the scenario:
1. I have a session facade method which takes a searchCriteria (custom criteria) as the input parameter and returns a list of entities.
a)This is the first method that I call as a default method activity in my taskflow.
b)The result of this method is dragged and dropped as table in the jsff. (*which created a methodIterator in pageDef unlike the documentation which has accessorIterator*).
2. I declared 2 class level variables
a) List<Entity> result: which is set once the method in the (1) above is executed.
b) long size: which is also set from the method (1) above.
3. I defined getEntityAll(int index,int range) method which returns List<Entity> as per the index and range using the result (class level variable populated by method in 1)
4. I defined getEntityAllSize() method which returns the size (class level variable populated by method in 1).
5. I created the datacontrol on top of the session facade bean.
6. I made sure to change the DataControlHandler = "oracle.adf.model.adapter.bean.DataFilterHandler"
7. I've set the rangeSize = 25 in my pagedef.
Now when I run my page, my default method activity calls the method in (1) above and populates the table, with a scroll bar.
Once I start scrolling, it calls my method in (1) but it does not call either of the methods (getEntityAll(int index,int range) & getEntityAllSize()) which adds the pagination behavior.
After this, my table has just 25 rows and further scrolling does not invoke any of the methods from the session bean.
I'm using jdev : JDEVADF_11.1.1.4.0_GENERIC_101227.1736.5923 (11.1.1.4.0).
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks in advance!

On what exactly? Your computer?
Do you have a backup off the machine that's stable?
Now your files are still likely there, it's just a naming issue or a PRAM/SMC problem for power and a cache corruption issue for the files.
If you don't have a backup of your files, copy everything you can to a external storage drive and disconnect it.
Next run trhough this list of fixes, I suspect the SMC/PRAM reset will help with the power issues and the #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine will set your folders right.
Remmeber after the PRAM reset to set your time and date correctly. Pehaps that is what s throwing off the date on the folders?
It's really hard to figure your problem out with the information provided.

Again your files are likely very much still on the drive, you can recvoer anything as long as it hasn't be secure erased or overwritten by new data yet

Blue screen after login and HD and startup disk is full -how to erase data?

Blue screen after login and Hard drive and startup disk is full -How do I get in to erase data?

this user tip might help:
Your Mac needs adequate hard drive space to operate normally. How full can a drive be before it's too full? There is no hard and fast rule that says “X” amount or “%” of free drive space is needed. A low amount of RAM requires more drive space for Virtual Memory’s swap files.
Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space are discussed in this link
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
Here’s some general guidelines for minimum hard drive free space:
1. As a general rule, your available space should be 5GB as an absolute minimum as it generally requires that much free space to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X and still preserve some free space for VM swap files.
2. Some say that your hard drive should have at least 5% of it's capacity available for use. Still others say 10% to 15%. If you routinely process complex graphics and videos, even more space is required.
Look at these links about freeing up more space.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

Return PO box ticked for return PO document type

HI All,
There is a help need for Badi. While creating a return PO in T Code ME21N, i want to get return PO field ( EKPO-RETPO) box ticked for Return PO document type. I found one BADI for ME_COMMITMENT_RETURN. I need help to use this badi.
Regards,
Madhu.

Hi
Why don't use the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, method PROCESS_ITEM? You have a demo. The idea is:
data: ls_mepoitem type mepoitem,
        ls_header type ref to if_purchase_order_mm,
        ls_data_header type mepoheader.
ls_mepoitem = im_item->get_data( ).
ls_header = im_item->get_header( ).
ls_data_header = ls_header->get_data( ).
IF condition IS TRUE.    "with LS_MEPOITEM, LS_DATA_HEADER
    ls_mepoitem-retpo = 'X'.
ENDIF.
im_item->set_data( ls_mepoitem ).
I hope this helps you

Recalculation of quantity in free goods for return order wrf to invoice

Hello everyone,
I want to recalculate quantity of free goods category in a return order created with reference to an invoice, if the quantity in the High Level Item Category has changed.
For example, a customer bought 100 boxes of product "A " and received 10 of these for free. Then he wants to return 60 boxes. When I create a return order with reference to the invoice and change these quantity from 100 to 60, free goods item category still shows 10 boxes instead of 6.
Recalculation must be take place acording to the pricing date determination in order to apply free goods in a valid date.
Customized features reviewing:
1. There's not Item Category Proposal for Target Sales Doc type of the Return order, but item category of source bill type has one an is set to Pricing Type "D".
2. High Level Item category of free goods category is relevant for billing and is set to M "Delivery - related invoices-no zero qtys (in main bath items)"
3. Free goods category assigment has NORM as item Category Group, FREE ussage, High Level Item category is determinated for return order document type and Item category by default is the free goods category.
I will appreciate your support to solve this issue.
Best Regards,
Andrea Figueroa

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
My Discount Type of Free Goods determination is set to:
Calculation Rule: "2 - Unit reference"
Free Goods Category: "1 - Inclusive rebate (with item generation)"
Free Goods delivery control: "C - Delivery of main item is part. delivered, only with main item"
However, whatever the calculation rule is, if I change the quantity in the main item, subitem does not work.
I read about SAP Note 573598 that describes perfectly my problem, but is valid in 4.6 to 4.7 version and I have ERP version.
Thank for your help,
Andrea Figueroa
