Using "nested" Mount Points within Mount Points to add additional LUNs to a server

I realize that this might or might not be common and I haven't read or seen anything about this. So here goes...
No clustering. Just a strightup adding LUNs to a server mount point.
I have no issues adding a lun to a mount point (folder on the C-Drive) called MountPoint1. I can build a folder within MountPoint1 and add another LUN to a mountpoint within the first called NestedMountPoint1. I can build another folder within NestedMountPoint1
and add another LUN to a mountpoint within the second called NestedMountPoint2.
c:\MountPoiint1 (500GB)
|-NestedMountPoint1 (300GB)
|-NestedMountPoint2 (300GB)
First, do people do this? (Is it a normal practice?) (Recommended?)
Second, If it is a normal practice, Is there a limit on how many you can nest?
I can see doing this to add storage to a drive. BUT...

Hi,
A mount point is just a logical way to present drives to a system without using drive letters. You can nest mount points, but it is recommended to use the root (host) volume exclusively for mount points. The root volume is the volume that is hosting
the mount points. This greatly reduces the time that it takes to restore access to the mounted volumes if you have to run a chkdsk. This also reduces the time that it takes to restore from backup on the host volume.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

Using event cue points to add buttons

How do I go about having buttons display in an external flv file? I know I can establish event cue points with Adobe media encoder. I want the the buttons and graphics to appear and stay on the screen, even though the external flv loops. Its been a long day and I have exhausted all other options, otherwise I would not have asked on here. Thanks in advance. Oh btw using Flash cs 5.5 and as 3. thanks

i just added x and y locations:
Movie01.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,cuepointF);
function cuepointF(e:MetadataEvent):void{
trace(e.info.name); // this will display your cuepoints when their dispatched. you'll use if-statements below this line to add your buttons. eg,
if(e.info.name=="middle"){
addChild(button1); // assuming button1 is already created.
button1.x=639;
button1.y=140.5;
it worked with no errors
thanks again!

Can we expand OCFS2 mount point Size by adding additional LUN?

can we expand OCFS2 mount point Size by adding additional LUN?

Looks like it should be possible....see if this helps:
extract from:http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/ocfs2_faq.html
# Can OCFS2 file systems be grown in size?
Yes, you can grow an OCFS2 file system using tunefs.ocfs2. It should be noted that the tool will only resize the file system and not the underlying partition. You can use fdisk(8) (or any appropriate tool for your disk array) to resize the partition.
# What do I need to know to use fdisk(8) to resize the partition?
To grow a partition using fdisk(8), you will have to delete it and recreate it with a larger size. When recreating it, ensure you specify the same starting disk cylinder as before and a ending disk cylinder that is greater than the existing one. Otherwise, not only will the resize operation fail, but you may lose your entire file system. Backup your data before performing this task.

Re-Use of cursor pointer in the Cursor loop

Is it possible to re-use a Cursor pointer as a cursor pointer within the main cursor loop. We have a scenario like
FOR c1 IN cursor1 LOOP
FOR c1 IN cursor2 LOOP
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
The code seems to work and gives correct result 75% of times and giving wrong result 25% times, even though we are using the same data every time.

This is an existing piece of code, and we are actually trying to investigate why the program is giving incorrect results only sometimes and not always, even when we use the same set of data. This appeared to be the only logical error we could find.
We are using the variable of the first loop inside the second one, which I understand the code shouldn't be doing. But then, I would expect the result to be consistently wrong, which they are not and this is what surprises me. Could it be that the Oracle is not able to handle this properly?

Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?
Matt

With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

New feature: pressing alt while using the anchor point tool

Hello,
New feature doesn't work at my side ==> pressing alt while using the anchor point tool would allow to pair the handles again while dragging a handle. But if i press alt or if i do not press it, it does not change the working of my anchor point tool or handles. When i press alt i see the little sign apearing next to my cursor and that's all. Someone an idea what could be the problem?
Thank you for your help.
Tommy

thank you!!!!! I clicked and dragged before..didn't understood apparently the function of the new feature for 100% ;-)

A tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore)

What is the use of change pointer technique in IDOC

hi
could anybody suggest me
what is the use of change pointer technique and how to use it
thank you
kalyan.

Change pointers are used for changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by SMD Tool.i.e.shared Master Data.
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
You can increase the rate of processing by using the Analyze Change Pointer and Reorganize Change Pointer functions.

Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82

CS5 - Should I register each install to a user or use a single point of conatct

Ok, at this time I only have a single user from Adobe CS5 but this is likely to grow.
I would like to know if there are advantages to having this product registered to the individual user or should I be using a central point of contact as we have a dedicated IT department. My hesitation in registering to individual users is that staff changes to these often do not consider specialized products being registered to the individual.
Any thoughts will be gratefully received.

Your call.

Select a word using its quad points/rect in adobe reader using Javascript

Select a word using its quad points/rect point in adobe reader using Javascript

The only option you have to select a word using JS is by using the selectPageNthWord method, which works based off an index, not a quads.
However, in principle you should be able to use a loop that iterates over all the words on the page, comparing their quads to the one you have, and then selecting the one that matches.

Can Airport be used as Access Point?

I am wondering if Airport Extreme or Airport Express could be used as Access Point or Wireless Repeater where it could help me to enhance my home wireless signal.
Although i have network cables laid in different rooms, but i would still prefer to have the whole house wireless.
Could anyone advise me.
Thanks!

Can I have multiple Airport Extreme N devices set up as APs and have clients roam between them?
Note that because this is a concrete building, they can't see each other and be used as repeaters. I just want to have multiple wired APs and be able to connect to the nearest one.
I'm currently using Linksys WAP54GP devices, but traffic from my MacBook keeps stopping, and I have to turn the AirPort (N) in the MacBook off and back on.
[Not sure how to describe the problem above, email and web servers time out, but an SSH session to a local Linux box continues to work just fine.]
Anyway, I'm giving up on the Linksys, and would like to know if I can use the Airport Extreme(s) instead.
Thanks!

Yesterday, I used 5000 bonus points to buy 1 extra gb of data. This hasn't shown up in my account yet. The 5000 points deduction is listed in my Smart Rewards account, but no bonus data. I thought it was supposed to show up almost immediately. Will it be credited to my account?

I called Verizon Wireless and they gave me the number: 1-866-962-3713 -- which asks if you're calling about the 1GB rewards offer - if you select this option it says "We are aware of customers having problems with this offer and hope to have it resolved soon. Please check back again." So, will try again in a few days.
The original technical support rep I spoke to from the main line was incredibly helpful (helped me find the 866 number above). A+.
