Video storage unit for PPro

Does anyone have a favorite file access/storage model that works well with PPro edit stations? We have six bays that may need to access material near simultaneously for long form programming. Thanks.

We have a 14TB SAN that's attached to one workstation via fibre, that serves via ethernet to all our other workstations. It works ok until lots of people start working all at once, which is sadly pretty much what it's intended for. We recently got a 6TB Promise added to another computer (thunderbolt) which we also access via ehternet and the performance is about the same. Both of these back up to a 32TB Promise.
I'd be interested to hear what other people are using and how it works in multiple workstation environments.

  • Strategy for selecting Storage Unit for Transfer Order Creation

    Hi ppl,
    I need to understand what strategy is used by SAP to determine the storage unit while creating a transfer order for delivery using transaction LT03.
    It seems that the system selects the SU randomly, but, in the backend, there should be some strategy.
    Please let me know how to find this.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Check the storage type indicator assignment value in the stock removal field  in the material master Warehouse management1 tab.
    Then go to SPRO->Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Strategies -> stock removal startegies. Check the stock removal strategies for the warehouse and storage type (from material master) data. From this data you can understand the details on system proposals.

  • Video card recommendation for PPro and large stills

    I'll be using PPro CS5 to create a video mixing video and stills, some quite large for zooming purposes. From what I read here my video card should be at least 1.5 meg VRAM? Is more VRAM automatically a hotter, more power hungry card? Can I go to 3 meg with a card that won't fry eggs?

    Hotter, not really, more power hungry, yes. If you make it a custom to fry eggs @ around 50 degrees C or less when idle or below 65 C when under load, then you will probably succeed. However, not many people try that. Even overclocked by around 20% the load temps stay below 65 degrees C, at least in my case, but that is with the hotter and less efficient 480 with only 1.5 GB VRAM.
    The 3 GB 580 is nice.

  • When to introduce Storage Unit into a warehouse business

    Hi all,
    I am new in storage unit and I did read up a couple website about the storage unit and know how it work.
    However, I am wondering if you can share your experience with regards to following questions.
    In what kind of warehouse operation setting best suit to use SAP storage unit functionality? Does the warehouse business process require to meet some basic pre-requisites before a storage unit process of SAP is consider feasible and not overkill or will provide value added to the whole warehouse operation?
    Is there any concern or remification of introducing SAP SU into a warehouse operation (both from system and business perspective). In another word, impact to other module as a result of SU.
    Looking forward to your feedback.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hello Daniel, there are a number of reasons and scenarios for introduction of storage units.
    I assume you want to use / are using - RF devices for WM...
    From the aspect of warehouse operations if your products don't have printed material bar codes, then you would need to print them at some point in order to be able to scan your materials during transfer order confirmation. When you have batch management too, in bulk storage types everything gets more complicated since if you don't have storage unit management, and have batch managed materials, you also need to scan batch number in addition to scanning your material bar code. Ok, now you need to have that batch number bar-coded too. This gets a bit tricky, scanning two bar codes, printing 2 bar codes... Then why not introduce storage unit management and kill a couple of flies with one hit?
    What storage unit does, is keep all the info stored in itself.
    SU keeps track of material inside it, batch number, etc. So when you are picking from bulk storage type, by simply scanning SU you want to pick, you are actually specifying all the info from that SU, like material, batch, etc.
    Someone will argue that material bar-code isn't mandatory to be scanned and yes it can be switched off, but it leaves you with a lot of room for mistakes, so if you don't have SU management, you need to scan the material + batch.
    Also, it is easier to perform physical inventory with RF and storage unit managed warehouse. If you are having batch management that is.
    From business point of view first we can think of traceability (not in the meaning of standard batch traceability) => like having the information of which exact pallet went to which customer.
    When you scan storage unit for picking to customer 1234, you will have the information where did the exact pallet go, if you need that kind of info.
    You can also have some sort of functionality like that without SU management, because you can actually store more information in one bar code, like scanning once and having all the info in one long number (by parsing the number you can assign that info to the appropriate fields in RF transactions).
    And that's one good approach too if you don't want storage unit management but want to scan only once, but this requires some modifications to RF programs to be able to parse the scanned data into multiple data fields. Storage unit does something like that with just a bit of customizing.
    Actually there are a lot of good things SU introduces in your warehouse, but sometimes it is overkill indeed, if you don't really need it then don't implement it, sometimes things are good to be kept simple, although I seem to thing about SU management to be the simplest way of operating WH.
    If you need any further clarification or question about SU, feel free...

    Mihailo

  • Storage unit error

    Hi,
              Im doing a transport order and we enter a SU existant. The system display the following error message:
    "Storage unit 1000000000 is not consistent with other transfer order data".
    We think that we can include in the same SU many materials, storage bin and quant number. It is posible?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards
    Enzo

    Hi Enzo,
    In the WM system SU is always unique errspective of material, but you can store multiple material in one storage unit using mixed SU management consept .
    For E.x: Two different materials or Two different batch materials can be placed in a single storage unit in this case two quants will be placed in a storage unit.
    for the second question, If the stocsk available for the delivery quantity,it can be create single TO for any number of storage units for all the stocks, in this case quants will be different.
    Thanks,
    Madhu

    Hi ,
    follow the below Process to Activate SU
    First make your warehouse SUM active. Set your individual st types as SUM active and SUT check active
    Active SUM for the storage types where material is to be putaway as well as removal, Storage unit configuration in LE -WM-Storage units- for master data. Maintain these storage types in storage type search to find the bins for putway & picking.
    When you post GR in IM and the System will create the Transfer requirement .
    Using The TR to converting into TO creating to the destination Storage unit bin.

  • Is a storage unit and back up unit two different entities?

    wondering if i need a cloud storage and a seperate back up storage unit for my computer.  I was told the timemachine backs up to a storage unit, but I still need something other than the icloud for my movies i download since they are taking away from my phone cloud backups.  Please help! I'm new to Mac computers. So confused!!

    iCloud is only as good as your internet connection and your storage on it, and the password you use to maintain it.
    Local storage is only as good as the physical storage's security.  
    If you had a thief run into your unsecured home in a high crime neighborhood, might they target your hard drive if it was in the open?  With anything, you need motive and opportunity.
    Either way, iOS does not run on MacBook Pros.  Mac OS X and Windows do.
    iOS runs on iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch and AppleTV.
    Hard drive data recovery is quick compared to dealing with the cloud, when you have to erase an entire hard drive.
    Time Machine offers limited archival storage, which is limited based on the hard drive's capacity to hold the archives being stored on it.  Once it exceeds those limits, it recursively deletes storage it can't keep indefinitely based on when it backed it up.  You can manually do a time machine backup, and separately backup those archives you want to keep permanently to a non-Time Machine medium.
    As long as your original has the data, Time Machine won't delete it from the backup.
    Clone backups work the same way, as long as the original has the data, your clone won't delete the copy.
    Clone backups offer no archiving directly, but do offer quick verification the entire backup was successfully complete in the fact clones can boot the computer in question, if the source was bootable.
    Keep at least two copies of all essential data at all times.  That means making a third copy before doing any erase that would leave you with only on when the erase is finished.
    Your choice of cloud, Time Machine, or Clone depends on your tolerance for time to recover.

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • Problems when creating a  transfer order for moving storage units

    Hi,
    When creating a TO for moving storage units with FM FU L_TO_CREATE_MOVE_SU i got problems when the storage unit consist of 2 items. The message 'Warehouse number does not exist (new selection required)'
    is displayed. When i use the FM again after this message then the TO is created correctly.
    When i debug the FM for 2 items is see that LEIN-LGNUM is empy en when performing:
    PERFORM T300_LESEN(SAPML03T) USING LEIN-LGNUM. and the message E080 is raised.
    The perform before this is determining the lein-lgnum (PERFORM LENUM_EINL_CHECK(SAPML03T) USING I_LENUM) but this value isnt passed to the calling program the first time (memory or something????)
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
    Thx in advance.
    Kind regards,
    John Nijburg

    Hello,
    I had the same problem today and I've fixed it by calling the FM in a different task (asychronous) .. this way the fugr/internal variables will be loaded again and you won't get this stupid error anymore. 
    CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CREATE_MOVE_SU' STARTING NEW TASK lv_task
    In case you need it syncronous use PERFORMING clause together with WAIT UNITL
    Hope this helps!

  • What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

    What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

    Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
    FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
    If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
    Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
    Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

  • 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!
    -Mr. Bello

    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

  • Stock Type Changes for Storage Unit Mgt.

    Hello,
    I am looking to develop an R3 system program (in ABAP) which based on certain criteria can change a storage unit's stock type between unrestricted, quality, and blocked.  I know there is a BAPI, 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE', which can be used to do the Posting Change in IM and there are function modules, L_TO_CREATE_SINGLE, etc, which can be used to create/confirm transfer orders for the storage unit in WM, but I was hoping someone can provide guidance on how I could make this simpler.  Is there a one-step method I can use to combine the movements for IM and WM (either programatically or through configuration).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Allen,
    Thanks for detailed explaination,
    Here is the one BAdi available to meet your requirement ( SPRO-> Log Exe -> Warehouse management -> System Modification -> BAdi in WM -> Badi for Quant determination)
    <b>Business Add-In for Quant Determination</b>
        Application components: LE-WM, LE-WM-TFM
    <b>Use of this component</b>
    You can use the BAdI LE_WM_LE_QUANT in the Warehouse Management system (WMS) to influence quant selection for a posting change notice after the system has determined all of the quants that correspond to the specifications in the posting change notice.
    if the system has determined more quants than are necessary for processing the posting change notice, you can restrict the quant selection further, so that you can process the posting change notice in the background.
    Hope this will be helpful
    regards,

  • External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

    Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz.  10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM.  Currently running OS 10.6.8.
    I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total).  All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200.  Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown.  I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick.  Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with  Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8.  Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally.  I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed  Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
    I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card.  However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs?  Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
    Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard.  If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,,  reinstall the OS?
    Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
    Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro.  I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable.  HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
    In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports.  I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

  • Storage unit activation for warehouse number

    Hi,
    User is facing two problems.
    1.They could not go directly to TO screen after doing any warehouse management transactions.
    2.In TO user wants to enter storage units options but could not find any list.
    I could find that warehouse no which is assigned that storage location is not actived for storage unit management.
    Can I delete this warehouse no. and copy new warehouse number which is active in storage unit management.
    There are some TO already created for this warehouse no.How should I proceed in this issue.
    Can we reverse TR and TO.
    Please give some solutions
    Thanks

    Before creating a whole new WHS, in your Sandbox system try completing or cancelling every outstanding task related to the Warehouse e.g. TRs, PCNs, TOs etc. and then activate SUM as above and for applicable Storage Types (NOT interim ones).  It might save you quite a bit of effort.
    If it works (I've never tried it but don't see why it wouldn't) in Sandbox then also do in Development and Pre-Production, then do the same in Production over a weekend and get the Warehouse guys to complete all operations, transport settings across and you're done.  Alternatively you can cancel outstanding operations but you then need to note and re-create.
