TREX Storage capabilities

Hello all,
I want to create a repository that reads the content of a remote file system. What should happen when a user located inside the network of the file system try to download a document from portal (using TREX as search engine)????
The document is download in LAN speed????? or
I am restricted with the bandwidth between the 2 localities??? (one with the file system and another with the portal&KM&TREX installation).
Regards,
Orlando Covault

Hi,
I don't understand what TREX has to do when a user is downloading content from KM?
To answer the question from your subject first: TREX stores data on its own file system. So in principle you can store as many data, as you provide hard disk and memory space.
When downloading or opening a document using KM, of course the network between client and portal server is used. Also the portal servers performance comes into play here. And in addition, the portal server will fetch the document from where it is stored. So also the network connection from portal server to the repository (DB, FS, what ever) is important.
So the access from KM UI will be slower than directly working on the file system. But without KM you won't have all the nice KM features, of course.
When searching with TREX, the search request goes to the TREX server and he gives back the result list to KM, where it is displayed. If you click on the link here, the same is valid I said above. Only when the user clicks on the HMTL/Highlighted link, the document comes from the TREX server.
During Indexing documents of course the network connection between KM/portal and TREX is importing. In case of indexing a web repository the network connection between TREX and the web sites is important.

I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

You are a brave man posting that sort of info around here.
The TC is still a good router with storage ability you can use on Win7. It is slow and more suited to the wireless backup for laptops, which is what it was ideal for. So if you don't yet own a TC, don't buy one.
You can do as well with a USB hard drive on a router. But if you already have it, it is usable, albeit slow.

Need Ideas For Storage Units Data Storage Capabilities - Special Attributes? History? 2 Ind-UMs

Hello experts,
The company I'm working for is looking into permanently-storing pallet level information (keep a history of the pallet movements) and use RF-scanners to move product in the warehouse. They have made a decision to implement Warehouse Management's Storage Unit Management functionality. They looked into Handling Units as well, but they don't want to use HUs for many reasons.
They would also like to store 2 units of measure at the Storage Unit level without activating "Catch Weight Management" because that would require them to run parallel systems for a while and also deal with CWM functionality restrictions. Keep in mind that most of the products they handle are catch-weight products, so UM conversions don't work for them.
Solutions I have in mind:
For storing 2 independent UMs: Store the quantity of the 2nd unit of measure in a custom table at the Storage Unit level and use custom RF-scanner programs to "receive, issue, scrap, and move" goods in the warehouse. These custom RF-scanner programs would update SAP standard table with 1st (base) UM and also custom table with 2nd UM.
For permanenlty-storing SU history: Use custom table to to store Storage Unit History. The custom programs created to handle the SUs would update this custom table.
Last time I checked, the history of a Storage Unit is not recorded in SAP, correct? ONLY in Handling Units, correct?
OR are there any documents/tables that permanently store the Storage Unit number so they can be queried after the Storage Unit is consumed/issued?
I know SAP keeps improving its applications with every release, so I'm just looking at my options here.
Does anyone else have any other ideas on how to approach this other than Using Handling Units & Catch Weight Management?
Thanks in advance!

For storing 2 independent UMs
Can you please explore the LS26 option there also system is allowing you to change the parameter"Unit of measure" and displays the stock on different UoM, hopefully this will solve your problem and you need not design a custom table to store the value at different UoM level
For permanenlty-storing SU history:
System store the storage unit related value in table : LEIN however the moment you do any consumption or movement to non SU the entries goes off from this table hence i think the approach taken by you seems the only one approach to store the historical data. (Make sure you are taking into consideration of the archiving activity as you proceed further the size of database will get bigger and time to generate any report will take longer then expected

TREX Search Capabilities

Hello
Can TREX search on non-indexed data?
Does TREX support natural language searches?
Does TREX support spider searches?
Best regards,
Luis Carlos

Hi Luis,
   Can TREX search on non-indexed data? No.
   Does TREX support natural language searches? you search using synonym. And other feature is that you can classify documents using taxonomies. There are two kind of taxonomies: query based and example based.

Price drop or new versions with larger storage space?

does anyone know if there will be a new ipod touch on the horizon anytime soon with a larger storage capacity? ive been thinking about buying the 8 gig version, simply because i cant afford the 16 gig version even though i would love to have the storage capacity of 16 gigs.
also since im posting anyways, if there arent any new touches coming out, does anyone know if refurbs are available and if so, how much they are?
apple also used to offer student discounts on the classic ipod when they were $299 but stopped when they dropped to $249. are they doing that for the touches?
finally, i know this isnt ipod touch related, but since im asking about new versions with larger storage capabilities, are any new iphones on the horizon?
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Apple never gives indications about future products. We are just users here and have no idea when new iPods will arrive. Actually the current models are only a very few months old but I'm sure in the future capacities will increase and prices will drop. Set yourself a price and capacity and buy when Apple are selling that model. If you want it now buy now.
You'll simply have to check the online store for refurbs that's the only place they are listed AFAIK and they may only be there for a short time.
I don't believe Apple's Educational discount is available on iPods any longer.
Its safe to assume there are new iPhones on the horizon but there will be no details or timescales until Apple choose to announce them.

Purchased TV and Movie artwork not showing in iTunes 10.6.1 when stored on a NAS drive

Hi All
Having searched through the forums here and using Google to cast a wider net.
I am still struggling to see if there is a solution to the missing artwork of TV programmes or films missing when stored on a NAS drive. All the TV programmes and movies have been purchased through the iTunes store.
The version of iTunes being used is the most recent (10.6.1).
The network drive is hardwired linked to the AirPort Extreme Base Station, this base station is also hardwire linked to the iMac. The iTunes library resides upon a DROBO FS and has done since it filled the storage capabilities of the iMac.
TV and Films purchased before the migration of the library has the artwork, it is just films and programmes purchased since the migration that don't.
Clicking "Get Album Artwork" has no effect, the same is also true for manually adding the artwork to each episode through the "Get Info" "Artwork" option. Although the "Get Info" route teases you with an apparent result only to have the artwork "vanish" when you save.
I have seen a solution that involves remapping the iTunes library to the iMac each time you want to download a TV programme or film and then remounting the NAS drive and consolidating the library again, http://www.online-tech-tips.com/mac-os-x/fix-missing-album-art-when-using-a-nas- with-itunes/
This doesn't strike me as much of a solution and doesn't address the TV programmes and films that have already been downloaded.
I am hoping someone in the community is aware of a solution or at least method that is a little more elegant than the one linked to above.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

The Apple TV 1 doesn't use homesharing.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Upgrade or replace mid-2009 MBP for 4 year doc program

My question:
I'm new to this forum - thanks in advance for your help!
I love my 5 year old MBP, and I loved the one I had for 5 years before it. I assumed I would buy a new one for this doctoral program that starts in 10 days, which I expect will take 3-4 years to complete. I am flummoxed by what Apple has done with the MBP line (SSD drives with tiny storage capabilities, retina displays I worry will prompt massive storage needs as apps upgrade to take advantage of them, and most offensively the soldering of HD and RAM to the motherboard), and really questioning whether any of the machines they are now selling will be useful to me during my 4 years at school. I am leaning toward buying the maxed out version of the last non-retina model while I still can.
Should I upgrade my existing machine (hard drive, OS, what else?) or buy that last MBP model that isn't soldered shut before they discontinue it (and maybe upgrade it anyways)? Will the new machine be significantly better, or even more upgradeable, than my current one?
Concerns that make me hesitate to buy a new machine:
Hard drive size and upgradability: This is by far the biggest issue. My current machine's hard drive is overloaded and I think that's the biggest problem for performance right now. I refuse to pay through the nose for a way-too-small (smaller?!), non-upgradable, hard drive, no matter how fast it loads entertainment apps. This is my only computer and I will not carry around a separate storage drive. The retina machines are not an option for me for this reason (I'm also anxious about the upcoming storage demands for apps with retina capabilities). I made peace with the idea of having a separate external optical disc drive, but that's pretty awkward when I want to watch a movie in bed or on a plane!
What has the MBP lost since 2009?: I think I read something about the current MBP model not having speakers - I love my speakers! They aren't necessary to do my schoolwork, but I love them just the same. What else has disappeared on the MBP since 2009? I'm paranoid that I may have missed other changes since it's been so long since I paid attention to the product line.
Value for the money: If I'm going to spend $1,300+ on a machine I expect significantly better performance. I can't tell if the newer machine with it's faster (though not as fast as the retina machines) processor will be much faster, or much better in general. Buying it basically saves me the trouble of figuring out all of the details for how to upgrade my current machine, which is worth a lot to me. But will the new machine really be better? How so? By how much? Will I be able to upgrade it in the future beyond what Apple offers now (1TB hard drive/512 GB SSD), OSx Mavericks, 8GB RAM, Intel Core i7)? If it is really going to be better or offer more longevity, I'll snatch one up in a heartbeat, because I expect it will be a couple years before those SSDs are big enough to satisfy me. And I'll let Apple max it out for me for $300 because it will save me the trouble of doing so while I'm preparing for school.
Retina second thoughts: Am I crazy for not wanting the retina machine? Maybe I should wait for the SSD to come down in price so one of those machines are more practical (though still not upgradable?!). Or even get one with 512 GB SSD and plan to upgrade in 2 years?
Refurbished option: Should I look for a refurbished non-retina 15" MBP? I like the 13" screen, but think there were bigger upgrade options on the last 15" one.
About my current machine:
I bought my baby new in 2009 for my master's program and he has been incredibly good to me. My only regret now is that I didn't upgrade to the fastest processor at that time - if I had I wouldn't be posting this because I'd just be upgrading. He started slowing down around 2011 so I upgraded the RAM, OS, and I think even the Hard Drive (80 to 160GB?), and at that time I got a new battery and power cord due to a recall. 10 months ago I took him in because he had become painfully slow and the Genius re-installed my OS, but I have noticed a bit of that slow-down returning lately. Google Chrome, Google Apps, MS Office, and iTunes are by far my most used apps, but I do like to open a million tabs in Chrome at once while doing research. I value his speakers because I love music but I do have speakers at home so maybe speakers aren't necessary? He has been tossed around quite a bit - I bought him a neoprene sleeve back in the day but never actually used it and he's definitely taken some nasty spills without any protection.
Complaints about my current machine:
Hard drive storage: My biggest issue is that I had a huge surge in data storage (video and photo for a special project) over the past year and didn't take the time to upgrade his hard drive to make space, so now I have a mess of data in a borrowed iPad and multiple external drives. I want to dump all of that onto the same machine, and it easily fits onto a 1TB external drive, but I do not want to keep it there indefinitely. I like having all of my storage on one machine and I am not ready to buy into the cloud beyond Google Apps. Can I upgrade my hard drive to 1TB or even 500MB? How much does that cost, and what else in my machine will be affected by this change? Should I be looking at SSDs? What are the implications for going that route? Where would it go physically and what would I be giving up?
Speed: He is a little bit laggy sometimes, especially when I open a million tabs on Chrome when I'm researching. I don't switch back and forth between a ton of different programs so startup speed doesn't bother me a ton, but he is a little slow there too.
Battery life: It isn't awesome. It's sufficient but waning for sure.
I spilled water on him: This just happened recently and right afterward I noticed that the track pad is a bit buggy now. It is just a little off of what I expect it to be and sometimes refuses to let me navigate. I haven't tried my wireless mouse since that happened but I imagine that will work fine, and I'm hoping it will go back to normal (open to suggestions to fix that for sure!) soon.
Google Chrome crashes: This has been recent. I've had 20+ tabs open and seen crashes somewhat often. I didn't have this problem before.
He runs hot: I think this is worse since the 2011 upgrades, but honestly doesn't bother me as long as he's safe to use.
He runs loud sometimes: I can hear the fans pick up and kick in sometimes when he's working hard, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Glossy screen is obnoxious: I never bought an anti-glare screen cover to deal with this as I had originally planned. And no, I still don't want a retina MBP.
Possible physical damage from rough handling: I have been rough with him over the years without a case and I worry that he is on his way to some type of physical damage that hasn't shown up yet.
My current machine:

Whygirl,
it reads as though an internal disk upgrade (and possibly a battery replacement) would suffice for you, and those two together would be far less expensive than a new MacBook Pro. Yes, you could install either a HDD or a SSD in place of its current internal HDD. You could look at the Hitachi Travelstar 7K1000 as an example of a suitable 1 TB HDD; SSDs are more expensive per unit of storage than a HDD, but might be worth the extra cost if your apps are disk-bound. (I put a Samsung 840 PRO into my 13-inch Mid 2010 model, and it’s been working well.) Note that Chrome might be responsible for the extra heat (and the extra heat is responsible for the increased volume from the fans kicking in); Chrome isn’t optimized for use on 64-bit versions of OS X, like 10.8.5.

General HELP for RAID and HOME NETWORK... I'm a bit lost :(

First off, I'm sorry about the long post but I just wanted to ask everything at once since I don't know what effects what?
Over the past years I've had a MBP and have always added Western Digital Mybook drives whenever I needed storage. One of clicked and died this past year and I lost some data since I was "MANUALLY" backing up. Since then I've tried to read about RAID, NAS, and DROBO type devices.
I recently bought a Mac Pro 2008 edition because I needed more speed. I mainly edit wedding photos in Lightroom but also come from a heavy motion graphics background and do some After Effects projects from time to time.
Here's a list of my current setup and what I'm hoping to achieve but I'm in over my head of what to do???
1 Mac Pro (2008 edition) - I'm considering setting up 4 1TB harddrives inside that are mirrored. I was looking at the Caviar Black or Hitachi drives...
2. I have two Airport Extreme Base Stations for my home network. (One is plugged into my Mac Pro and the other is near my Vizio LCD and Xbox 360. I've been toying around with sharing iPhoto slideshows (which I really like the idea of) The problem is that it seems really slow for video and hiccups on the stills sometimes. It doesn't seem to make a difference if it's pulling it from the Mac Pro or from a USB drive attached directly to my Airport Extreme. How do I speed this up? Is it always going to be faster to stream from the Mac Pro over ethernet cable than a harddrive plugged in through USB?
3. A few RAID and NAS solutions I've been looking at are the following but I don't really understand what I get with an external device vs an internal? I also don't know which is BETTER? for easy reliable backup.

http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-.../RAID/Desktop/
http://www.synology.com/enu/products/CS407/index.php
4. I've been reading mixed reviews about the Drobo but don't quite understand if it's a better solution then setting up a mirror INSIDE my Mac Pro. I DO NOT want to buy a $900 raid card for the Mac Pro though. Do most people choose the Drobo because they only have laptops? Should I only consider building something inside my Mac Pro?
5. I was considering Chonosync for backing up 3rd level backups
6. I just bought a Blu-Ray drive for 4th level backups that I can send off site.
7. I have all these other Mybooks. Two of them are mirrored but only one is a 1TBx2 Sata drive. The rest are IDE. I guess I'll just use these for misc things? Maybe just plug one into the Xbox for watching movies?
8. My neighbor down the hall has a similar setup and is using a Mac Mini to stream things (through Front Row) like Hulu and videos another room to his TV. Mine doesn't seem to stream fast enough. Since I have the MBP that I will use rarely since I got my desktop I was considering using that instead of Apple TV or a Mac Mini but it's too slow? Maybe I set it up wrong?
PLEASE HELP? I don't know what I'm doing.

A few RAID and NAS solutions I've been looking at are the following but I don't really understand what I get with an external device vs an internal? I also don't know which is BETTER? for easy reliable backup.
Hi,
For backup, video work, photography and expanding the Mac Pro storage capability the FirmTek SeriTek/5PM would be my choice. The bundle that you pointed to will work if 130MB/sec. is fastest enogh for your needs. The card is only $70 in the bundle which makes it a nice deal.
http://firmtek.stores.yahoo.net/sata5pm2se2.html
If you want 200MB/sec, performance I would go with the Sonnet Tempo E4P or the HighPoint RR 2314 if you desire RAID 5 redundancy.
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/mac-pro/
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/highpoint/2314/
Trying to use NAS via the network will be 3-7x slower than the SeriTek/5PM. The SeriTek/5PM is a much better choice for backup, video and photography. NAS is good for low energy, always on, low use server needs. However, you can simply turn Mac OS X file sharing on and the Mac Pro will provide performance faster than any NAS.
Drobo - Why do people even consider this option?
The performance is USB speed even with a FW800 connection.
Users have reported losing data with firmware updates.
And the unit is one of the most expensive, slow performing options available. I cannot image ever wanting a Drobo
Backup Software:
I like SuperDuper. I also like using the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility to clone one disk to another. The key to good backup is to keep it simple and regular.
MyBook - NOT
If your storage needs exceed more than a single FireWire backup disk you really need to go with eSATA. The SeriTek/5PM and the Mac Pro combination provides virtually unlimited storage capabilities as the tray system allows new hard disk sets to be easily loaded or dismounted.
Have fun!

Need reference/tutorial about iDisk (especially .Mac mail) access by iPhone

Greetings,
I have started getting quite interested in using my .Mac subscription, especially the iDisk online storage capabilities while being on the road with my MBP.
HOWEVER, I am also intrigued with accessing iDisk and .Mac Mail from my iPhone.
1. That's where I am having problem number one: seems that i cannot use my iPhone to access anything I put into iDisk's folders from my MBP. I put files into iDisk on my desktop, check if same files are on iDisk by reaching .Mac online, but I do not see anything on my iPhone while accessing iDisk from it. I do see the same iDisk folders as i see on my desktop Documents, etc..), but with no data inside.
My .Mac WebGallery/Albums work well from my iPhone.
2. Similar problem with Mail. Everything is OK - send receive - as far as .Mac Mail goes, if reached from my laptop. Not so with the iPhone: even though I can send/receive from .Mac Mail from my iPhone, and I do see .Mac Mail's mail boxes, and message insides, I cannot access attachments that i might have sent from Mail on my MBP or from .Mac Mail from my MBP.
I hope this is not too complicated a request for assistance: I have done well so far with most of the iPhone amzingly well integrated capabilities, but I am stumped here re: iPhone access to .Mac's Mail and iDisk.
Thanks in advance!
Roger T

Thanks, Zerimar. Indeed, somewhat useless. Not a big deal, but the rest of the interface between my MBP and the iPhone, as well as the iPhone design itself, are quite wonderful. I keep trying to detect some inadequacies in that interface. Not too many!
Seems that Apple designed the iPhone to purposefully limit its online capabilities (security issues, or prevention of unnecessary troubleshooting issues, just like in the case on unlocking phones!)

Best way to expand MacBook Air SSD

My daughter is a Medical Student with a 2013 MacBook Air 256 SSD. I should have anticipated her video, (lecture), storage requirement. Anyhow what is the best solution to expand her storage capabilities beyoun 256 gb and maintain some sense of portibility? A high capacoty USB drive?

You would have to buy a third-party piece of hardware to do that. There is no other way to connect two monitors to a computer that has only one video out port.

Zen Touch File Transfer/Stor

Im thinking of buying a Zen Touch in the next few weeks but i have one niggling doubt which i haven't been able to resolve over its file storage capabilities.
Can i simply drag and drop file onto it without the need for seperate software, as i intend to make use of my colleges T3 connection and i do not have user privliges to install new software or drivers?
Sorry if this has been brought up before, i couldn't find any info on the matter.

To do so with the zen touch you will need nomad explorer. A program that ties into windows explorer.
If you will need a player that does this take a look at the Zen Micro. You can partition 2GB on the hard dri've of the micro for data only and if you do so it should show up as a removable dri've.

Pro-consumer Video Camera: Recommendations?

I'm looking to purchase a pro-consumer miniDV camera but I am confused by the selection. I know that I want a 3-CCD imager (probably rules out Sony cams), 4:3 ratio and true 16:9 aspect ratio, 24p, 30p, 1080i/60i, and XLR audio input. It seems these cams run around +$3k.
I will not be using the cameras to shoot wedding or events but experimental video and I require rich colors. I will also probably be shooting dance. I would also like to leave room to film a short independent feature. (I might eventually have to upgrade to accomplish this.)
Which cams do you recommend?
Another question: In your opinion is it worth spending a couple thousand more to get a lower priced but true HD video camera. By true HD I mean progressive scan video at 720p. By is it "worth it" I am concerned about the cost of shooting in 720p mode, the limited storage capabilities, the cost to purchase hard drives and decks. What are the costs and complications of purchasing a 720p camera? I know I am probably limited to Panasonic or JVC brands. Which cameras do you recommend?
Thanks so much for all your feedback.

Standard Definition (the format which the DVX100 shoots in) has a relatively straightforward editing workflow, tried and tested in recent years and easy to work with, particularly if you are working on a budget and are restricted to using an iMac, which has less options for expandability i.e adding a second firewire bus (not firewire port - sometimes you can get problems capturing video via firewire if you have your transfer deck or camera hooked up to your computer on the same firewire bus, despite being on separate ports - not always and you may never experience the problem, but if you're editing in more than a casual user environment you don't want to take the risk)
You can't add e-sata drives (alternative to fW drives) via an e-sata card on an iMac whereas you can with a macpro which can also add internal storage whereas an imac can't.
HDV which the XA-H1 shoots in, is at the lower end of the Hi Def formats, looks great when shot well and displayed on a large screen hi-def tv, but is highly compressed and causes problems in the editing workflow.
Ideally, you want to have a monitor or at least a portable tv hooked up to your computer for external monitoring of your video - to check whether titles are correctly displayed within the title-safe areas and more importantly for colour correction as computer displays and tvs don't display video the same and whereas this may not be important if you're videoing your great aunt's birthday or the kids playing in the park, if you're doing serious stuff, such as commercials or short films you need to be able to monitor externally.
Performing this is simple if you're editing standard def but if you're editing HDV you can't do this using the method described.
You either have to use a combination of HD monitor such the Apple 23" Cinema display coupled with the Matrox MXO card or use a compatible capture card to convert to a more edit friendly format such as dvchpro to avoid long render times - both options will cost more than the price of the imac on it's own and is why it's recommended to get a macpro tower when using a Proapp such as FCP if you're hoping to edit for a living or if you're a serious and regular user.
That's not to say you cant edit HDV using a imac and external FW hard drive set-up - I'm sure many contributors to this forum do - just to illuminate the possible difficulties.
Also, when shooting in any hi-def format, your technical camera skills need to be more proficient - focus in an image that is blown up to higher sizes if much more critical and you're going to show every blemish and wrinkle of a character's skin.
Yeah, the XA-H1 is a fine camera for shooting with from a camera and image perspective - much more difficult to deal with the footage as an FCP editor and potentially a lot more expensive if you want/need to do it properly.
Yes, as large hi-def tv's become more widespread, Hd is going to become the format of the future - as I've no doubt, will tapeless cameras.
Many Prosumer HDV cameras offer the option of downconverting in-camera to standard def, meaning you can shoot in the HDV format, then downconvert to standard def for editing, retaining the HDV master for future re-editing if you don't currently have the setup capable of editing HDV natively or if, in future, the HdV editing workflow becomes easier to deal with.
This may be your best option, but you'll need to check if the XA-H1 has this facility - I'm not familiar with this camera but know that the Sony Z1 or v1 both offer this facility.
Don't forget, there's not yet an inexpensive way of burning HD/HDV material to DVD that'll play in the majority of HDDVD/Blu-ray players yet - that's coming in the near(ish) future, so if you are outputting to DVD, you'll have to do this in SD anyway.
BTW, I have used the DVX-100 extensively and it's the standard for 1/3" CCD standard def prosumer cams.
Search the forum for HDV to check out the current thinking on editing HDV - there's masses of opinion out there.
Good luck!

Adding Spatial to Existing Database

I am looking for information detailing how to use/implement the
Spatial search to an existing database. Most of the information
I have already read does not indicate how to set up pre-existing
tables. We are using another company's database design within
our product and rather than rebuilding or recreating the current
tables, I would like to see if we could add the indexes without
major changes.
Thanks!

does the existing database design include the storage of spatial
geometry or is it your intention to add spatial data storage
capabilities to an existing design?
