UseUrBrain-I Need creative efficiency minded solutions:streamlined workflow

Hello All!
This is your chance to really test your creative solutions skills. I am looking for a suggestions to streamline some of the various workflow related issues that seem to be fogged by my ADHD mindset and I need your help to reach clarity!
I am looking for a few "think smarter not harder" approaches to some of the relatively simple reoccurring and tedious tasks that are included in my day to day.
Each day I create some sort of tangible note relating to various pertinent things from a wide variety of subjects-all over my life (post it notes, paper, emails to myself, various documents, etc etc. Each entry of data seems to carry at least one entry towards one of the many greater external lists and taxonomies that I create both tangibly and in my mind.
Lists such as:
+Vocabulary Words-+
+Terms or Phrases-+
+People of Note-+
+Places of Note-+
+Things of Note-+
+Questions I have-+
Priorities-
+Action Items-+
...and so on...
**QUESTION/TASK I am requesting suggestions towards a solution with:**
+I want to create a dynamic list of some kind to which I may continually add content posts/entries to easily as well as subscribe to (I am thinking something that can be published as RSS). Also something that can be searched easily later.+
+I am particularly interested in the ability to tag each post/entry with keywords or subjects which will filter relevant content to a particular subject later.+
+I need an automated way for some of these lists to fetch their own data as well-particularly WORD and PHRASE lists - I need the dictionary/thesaurus entries for the posted entries to automatically retrieved and entered next to the words themselves.+
Sooooooo- HELP, HELP me come up with a solution that make sense for this daunting task - does it include a third party application?, a website? (of my own or existing), a text file?, an iWork solution?, an automator solution?, an apple script?, a terminal command?
I am savvy enough to follow instructions if they are given - just not enough to figure out what steps make the most sense.
Please let me know if more information is needed in order to help me.
THANK YOU in advance!

1) In my experience, that is pretty typical behavior when the Send-to-Compressor workflow is followed.
2) If you can find the link about Proxy, please post it. In fact, FCP sends the high quality file to Compressor.
That said, I have to add that I've never been a big fan of the Send… workflow and have found exporting a self-contained Pro Res master for repurposing in other formats is preferable.
3) Since having a back-up of your original media is paramount, I would say your way of accomplishing that is fine. Many people are not comfortable unless they have two backups.

Need an efficient solution using Informatica Power center

Need an efficient solution using Informatica Power center-
I have a requirement-
1-I have a database which gets refreshed everyday.
2-I have a workflow which gets started only if the database gets refreshed.
So I have to design a workflow-- which will do the following things-
a- Checks if the database has been refreshed today or not(Not hard coding...as this workflow will run everyday to check that)
b- If the database has been refreshed then only start the workflow wf_XYZ
( SUGGESTION-may be after the session/task finds out that the db has been refreshed it can create a trigger file which will eventually start the next workflow) else can wait to get the db refreshed.

Just implement the change capture process to load new data.
That would take care of it, and you can relax.

Need RTF PDF API solution and not Online Solution

Greetings,
I need to build a solution which runs on a Win2008 R2 64 bit OS.
I have literally millions of documents in my database as RichText data that I need to create PDF's for.
Please advise.
Thanks
John

We do support IE 7/8/9 and 10, this should be working in all...
Are the computers all on the same network?
On the machines where you cannot save the response as PDF can you "save/export" anything else? Can you try, from the File menu "Export Responses" and see if you can export an Excel file of the responses? Can you try an alternative web browser (Firefox or Chrome) on the machine/s that are not working?
When it does not work you are seeing a progress bar that never completes? When you cancel that and try again you have the same result?
Thanks,
Josh

Need Creative SB Live! value (WDM) driver for win7

hey,
? i just upgraded my PC to win7 and am looking for ideas to get my sound card (Creative SB li've! value (WDM) working again - is there an updated driver or?do i put another Win7 compatible Sound card?
thanks,
? ramesh

Re: Need Creative SB Li've! value (WDM) driver for win7] the driver and applications that exist for the package are very crippled. The card is very very old, even though I loved mine when I first got it. The headache and workarounds that you would have to use in order for that card to simply function are not worth your time.
I am not here to market, but in the last month I have been switching between my Dell OEM xtreme Music, my X-FI Titanium and my Fatality Gamer Pro Platinum. The last two are great cards and have worked for me at least, flawlessly in Vista and Windows 7. I admittedly use the Daniel K. 2.0 pack as a base for my software install of all three, but that coupled with the newest Creative issued driver have worked beatifully.
I picked up my Titanium off Ebay for $40.00. I bought my Dell OEM card for $30.00. I bought the I/O bay for the X-FI Fatality for $25. So your options are very open. That old li've will not accelerate sound well at all for Direct X based games, and you will be very disappointed. Again, all this is opinion, but I have been switching intensely between the above cards lately, and they are worth it. I do not have digital speakers, like the Logitech z-5500's. But my four year old pair of Logitech z-640's sound fantastic. I tried even with my onboard sound just for giggles. It was just that:? giggles.
Try this for a great price and fantastic performance.

Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

The Adobe Font Folio has absolutely nothing to do with the Adobe Creative Cloud offering. I think you are thinking about TypeKit which is included with the Adobe Creative cloud, integrates with the Creative Cloud applications, but also allows use of the fonts therein with other applications.
The Adobe Font Folio is a disk with pretty much the entire Adobe Type Library. You install any number of fonts on the disk onto your system and they act just like any other fonts with any applications, including the CS6 applications.

What components do we need to implement NAP solution ?

We use win2003R2 and win2008R2 servers , win7 laptop,win2008 DHCP, cisco 802.11x switch,Access Point, cisco acs radius server, windows CA.
I am planing to implement NAP solution.
What components do we need to implement NAP solution ?
I think it needs NAP server role and third-party antivirus Win NAP compatible software.

Hi,
As we know, there are five NAP enforcement methods, NAP Enforcement for IPSec Communications, NAP Enforcement for 802.1x, NAP Enforcement for DHCP, NAP Enforcement for Terminal Services Gateway, NAP Enforcement for VPN.
Due to you have many devices in your environment, which is the primary means that you want to deploy NAP? In my point of view, you could configure NAP enforcement for DHCP or for 802.1x Wireless or for 802.1x Wired.
To deploy DHCP NAP, we need a DC, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a DHCP server as a RADIUS clients and a DHCP client.
To deploy NAP Enforcement for 802.1x Wireless, we need a DC, a CA, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a 802.1x wireless access point as a RADIUS client and a 802.1x wireless client.
To deploy NAP Enforcement for 802.1x Wired, we need a DC, a CA, a NPS server as RADIUS server, a 802.1x authenticating switch as a RADIUS client and a 802.1x wired client.
You could choose one of these NAP enforcement based on your environment. More details about NAP configuration, please refer to links below,

In need of an applescript solution

Problem 1: I am in need of an Applescript or Automator workflow that can select multiple files and will zip each of the files separately into separate zip files. So I can select multiple files but each file is zipped into a separate archive.
BUT I also need a single file to be copied to all archives created.
For example: If I select movie1.mp4, movie2.mp4, movie3.mp4 I need them to be all archived individually with a copy of an existing text file.
If that is not possible directly then I would just need the following problem to be solved:
Problem 2: I would like to select a batch of files and have them all placed into their own folder. So, if I select 74 movie files each separate file will be individually placed in their own newly created individual folders that have the same name as the original file.

Use a script such as:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
make new folder at window 1 with properties {name:items 1 thru -5 of (get name of this_file) as string}
move this_file to the result
end repeat
end tell
when the 74 movies and no other files are in the frontmost Finder window. If the files aren't showing their extension, replace -5 with -1.

Event deactivated need to start a lot of workflows...

Hi,
The event got deactivated in the production environment. Now it has been activated and need to start a lot of workflows. Please suggest me a good way. Note that the workflow did not error out/there was no system crash either.
Thanks.
Sukumar.

Hi Gurus,
I am aware of starting the workflows for a single instance as in SWUE and SWUS. The question was to restart the workflow process. I am also aware that in the case of system crash or in the case of a workflow error, we can start a bunch of workflows, but the scenario was a bit different here. The workflow got deactivated, hence I had to start the workflows which were did not trigger. For now, I have provided the steps needed to prevent automatic dectivation.
Thanks,

Creative Cloud Comprehensive Solution Needed

Hello.
I am tasked with researching the Creative Cloud, and specifically using the Creative Cloud as a comprehensive solution for all web and print needs for an Advertising Agency. Currently, they use many different paths to get to their end game. However, the thought is that the Creative Cloud should be only pathway needed.
If you know of any resources to help accomplish my goal:
Come up with a comprehensive print and web workflow solution using only the Adobe Creative Cloud...
I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
Thank you very much

There are two purchasing options:
Single App subscription
Full Cloud
There is no option to tailor a package based on only the apps you want.
Basically, if you want 3 or more apps, the full Cloud is cheapest package.

Help needed - Planning Server 2012 solution, DC/Exchange/SQL/RDP host/Remote apps etc

Hi All,
I have a client needing me to provide a Windows server based solution for their business. I have limited experience with Server 2012, although I have worked with 2008R2 and SBS2011, I am needing some guidance with this 2012 project.
The client has about 8-10 local users who work at one office with an NBN connection, and 2 other locations that have 3-5 users at each location. I am needing to provide them with a server based solution to manage their data, remote access and also their
email. They are also likely to expand to another physical office soon.
I need to provide them with a DC controller, Exchange server and possibly an SQL server in the future. They currently use an Act database, but I have been told that once the database in ACT grows to 4G, a dedicated database is required?
I am currently thinking of having one physical server and virtualising the additional servers on this platform, however I come from a UNIX background and have not virtualised using Hyper V or ESXi before. I have read a little regarding the CLI and GUI Hyper
V options, but I really need advice on what will suit my needs best from someone that has done it.
I am thinking I maybe should recommend one physical machine with Server 2012 Std which, from what I understand, will allow me to install the host hyper V host on the physical machine and then I could possibly install an instance of Server 2012 as
the DC, Exchange and SQL server on one VM licence, however I have read it is not preferred to have the exchange server on the same VM as the DC but have read that limiting the memory usage of Exchange can negate these issues?
I will also need to have a terminal server/RDP session host in there as well which I could maybe use the 2nd VM licence for.
I suppose my question is, considering that I need to end up with a DC, Exchange server, terminal server/RDP session host and possibly a SQL server in the future, am I better off virtualising and running these on a Server 2012 Std licence, that allows a hyper
v host + 2xVM's or should I be splitting these roles up on different physical machines, keeping in mind costs need to be kept to a minimum.
Also I need to consider the Microsoft Office side of things. Is it more financially viable to use office licences and use remote apps from the terminal server, or just purchase Office H&B for the workstations/laptops and have their outlook connected
directly to the exchange server?
I am concerned from the performance viewpoint that if I run the DC/Exchange and SQL from one VM, then the TS/RDP Host from the other VM licence it may be too much for the DC/Exchange/SQL VM to handle.
I have used SBS 2011 in a few locations with Exchange and the SQL and DC roles installed on HP DL and ML gen 8 servers, and although they run a little slow on the console, they seem to serve the network clients fine.
If do end up running on one physical machine the Hyper V host, one VM as a DC, Exchange and SQL server, and the other VM licence as a RDP session host, what sort of spec'd machine would be recommended to be able to do this, keeping in mind
I usually lean towards HP servers.
Anyhow, thx in advance and any comments or suggestions will certainly be appreciated.
Mkm

Hello,
sorry but in your case without the knowledge of all major requirements i would suggest that you or your client contact an expert and not work with the forums to get this amount of information and setup requirements.
Exchange on DCs is NOT recommended, even not from Microsoft. Also it is highly recommended to run at least 2 DC/DNS/GC per domain for failover and redundancy, of course NOT on the same physical machine.
RDS servers should also run on dedicated machines and not be used for anything else.
SQL should also run on a separate server.
You cannot compare SBS version with regular server versions, the concept behind is different.
With that small amount of users you should consider using an Office365 solution where you could use a plan that fits your needs and have just computers for your client employees.
But as stated above therefore you should find an experienced consultant.

Need an efficient way of address comparisons

I am trying to find out a way to compare 2 addresses
e.g. 6841 Day Drive with 6841 Day Dr.. In this example Drive and Dr needs to be matched somehow
I read some forums which say split the text and then try to match the numerical portion and then street name.
Now imagine there are thousands of records to be processed. Definitely the above process is practically useless when processing so many records
Can anyone help me with giving some ideas how to implement that efficiently.
Thanks in advance,
Mandeep

I gave an example of Drive - Dr, others may be Road - Rd, Street - St, Aprtment -Apt..... and the list is very longThat's why I said you need to canonicalize the data. Write a method (or class) that canonicalizes any given address. Then apply that to all data that you store (i.e. all your existing data). This might take some time, but only needs to be done once.Joachim's defnitely giving you good advice. If you have no control over the data coming in, this is definitely not a simple job; if you do, you could require people to put the 'type' of street and the building number separately from the street name (and don't forget that building numbers can be ranges if you're dealing with corporate addresses).
In England, a lot of people give names to their houses, which further muddies the waters as it is often the first line in the address (the same could be true of a corporate address: Company House, 200-250 Suchandsuch Rd....etc).
A few things to try (some have already been suggested):
1. Create an Address class based on the components that you know you want. At the very least, it should have 'equals()', 'hashCode()' and 'toString()' implemented.
2. Convert the input address to lowercase (or uppercase).
3. Create a dictionary of known street types (road, avenue, boulevard...etc). This could be a static HashSet in your Address class.
4. Create a list of known abbreviations (apt, rd, dr...). I'd suggest you include versions with and without punctuation.
5. Expand all abbreviations in your input address.
6. Remove all remaining punctuation, but keep the original line orientation (this might involve splitting your address string into 'lines' based on commas for example).
7. Look for a line that contains one of your known 'street types'. This is highly likely to be the actual street address.
8. Extract the number (or numbers, in the case of a range). Watch out for things like '221b baker street'.
9. Load the resulting components into your Address variables.
The fact of the matter is that even with all of the above, you will probably not have a 100% solution. Personally, I'd reject all input addresses that are so badly written that you can't determine required components for your class, but I'm an ornery cuss...
Apart from that, you could check out the postal service website where you live to see if they have any guidelines for parsing addresses. The GPO here used to have a great page for that.
Good luck. What you want is not simple.
Winston
