What are all those .pkg files in the Receipts folder?

If I see files for several versions of the same, updated, program, can I delete the all but the latest file?

They're stubs of the original Install.pkgs, they're used for Software Update to tell what you have installed, & by Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
I think it may be safe to remove older ones that have a newer version listed, but I haven't experimented much with that since 10.4.11, at which time it helped with Permission Repairs doubly changing permissions on some files.
For safety I'd comprees the whole Receipts folder as a backup, then remove the ones you think you don't need.

What are all those files?

I have two Macs:
iMac G4 at home with less than 300000 files.
iBook G4 at home with over 700000 files.
Now, what are the 400000 extra files on my iBook, compared to the iMac? How do I find them?
If they were large, I could have used WhatSize from http://www.versiontracker.com/
But they are not large, since the hard drive is far from full.
On a similar note: How can I find duplicates of files? I know Font Book finds duplicate fonts, but what about other kinds of documents?

What size would be my next move here. At least it will show you something? Won't it?
You are quite right. By clicking on a folder, WhatSize tells me the size as well as the number of files and folders it contains. (I didn't realize that before.) So even if the folders are always sorted by size (not number of files), I can manually find my way around.
So I found out that
/Users/myname/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage
contains 181,000 files. So I found roughly half of the files. They are all called something like 138725.vRgeMessage.
What are these messages/files?
Can I just delete the contents of /Users/myname/Library/Caches/ without any adverse effects?
EDIT: I also found 40,000 more printer driver files on the iBook. I know I can delete a lot of those.
I also didn't remember the number of files correctly. The difference is 755789-386940=368849 files. Almost 400000 anyway. ;-)

What are all those 'lockfiles' doing there?

After updating to Lion, I suddenly have a lot of files in my Preferences folder that are duplicates of existing files but with the suffix 'lockfile' added. What are these? Can I delete them? What are they doing there?

Same problem here. Most of these files are zero octet. I get also a very large amount of zero octet files this format:
com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.1kvtJQz
Lion turns very slow. Apps do not remember states. iCal repeats alams. Safari "forgets" passwords and Top Sites. And so on....
I suspect a virus.
Please get in touch if any solution.
Thanx

What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

Hi there all.
Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
It's all Unix to me ;0)

I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
So I stopped.
But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities. If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that, and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running. if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
good luck

So what are all the names in /net

I have ipv6 ipv4 and back to my mac enabled. out of curiosity I did an 'ls' in a terminal session of the /net directory at the root level. what the heck are all those names? they appear to be dns or host entries. I also use a hosts file full of 'bad' dns names that resolve to 127.0.0.1 to block ads. this causing it?

this causing it?
Yes. Mac OS X only uses broadcasthost and localhost by default, and these are the standard entries in the Hosts file.

What are all the objects can be imported and exported...

Hi all,
what are all the objects can be imported ..
and what are all objects exported....in XI..
and what is context objects and logical routing..
Cheers,
Raghavesh

Hi,
Your question 1 is not very clear. Are you taking about Export and Import under TOOLS --> EXPORT / IMPORT? If yes, all objects created in the IR and ID can be exported and improted. They are used for moving your objects from one environement to another .TPZ files.
Individual Objects that can be improted in the IR are those that come under
1. External Definitions --> XSD, WSDL, DTD which acts
as the message types.
2. Idocs and RFC's.
3. Imported Archives -->External Mapping progrars ( Java and XSLT ) , external .jar files etc.
Context objects is nothing but to put in simple words an XPATH. At times XPATH can become too long and complex and to avoid typing them at different places, you create CONTEXT Objects for these path and then use them.
Logical Routing refers to Conditional Receievr / Interface Determination where on the basis on some conditoon your target Recievr / Interface is determined.

Bhavesh

How do we know what are all the fields updated in a screen?

Hi all,
 If i am making modifications in row details of sales order screen .for eg, i am changing the quantity or price for a row
 I want to write log file for the updated fields for that particular sales order.
 How do we know what are all the fields are updated ?
 If we can use SBOTransaction_Notification procedure.How to write code inside that.
 Please provide code example for that.I have downloaded the sample.But i donot know how to use 'Add code to here ' part.
 Please help me to solve this.Hope your reply soon
Regards,
V.Rangarajan

Hi, V.Rangarajan!
When the field in the matrix is filled with some value and the user moves to another field, the et_LOST_FOCUS event occurs. So, i think you can try to handle ItemEvents and use such code (for example):
if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS && pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.BeforeAction == false && pVal.FormType == 139)
string ChangedColumnID = pVal.ColUID;
int ChangedRowNumber = pVal.Row;
and write the values to your log.
"38" - is the matrix ID in the Orders form
"139" - is the Orders form
Also you can access to the value, that user had put into the field.
Hope this helps!

Iphotos Package Contents: What are all these folders for? Is it too large to back up in the cloud?

Dear experts, I am quite a newbie when it comes to understanding the Mac filing system, as I originally came from the PC world. There's lots of things I dont understand in the iMac file viewer and how to organise and backup my photos is an important issue for me.
I know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
Question 1 - What are all these folders for?
Please can someone explain what is the difference between all the folders I see? Some of them seem to be exact duplicates of the others e.g. Masters, Modified and Originals all seem to have the same content. So here is a list of folders that I see. What is in them?, or what is their purpose?
Data
Data.noindex
Modified
Originals
Apple TV Photo Cache
Attachments
Auto Import
Backup
Caches
Contents
Database
iLifeShared
iPod Photo Cache
Masters
Previews
ProjectCache
Thumbnails
Question 2 - Which photo folder should I back-up?
If I want to keep a physical backup of my photos, which of the above folders should I copy to an external hard drive? (I use Get Backup to automatically copy all important new or changed files to an external drive)
Question 3 - Using the cloud: What is the best way to backup my large photo library in the cloud safely?
I would like to have some kind of safe backup in the cloud for my photos. However the size of the iphoto library is huge at 165GB. Even the Masters folder is huge. It is 130GB. Is it possible to back up files of this size in the cloud? I have a couple of services called photo streaming and Dropbox, but they don't seem to be able to handle this kind of size. Photo streaming only works with 1000 photos (as far as I can tell), and my Dropbox probably has a limit too. I guess it's about 5GB. I am already using about 3GB of my Dropbox space for other files. I would consider both paid and free solutions.
Many thanks to all the experts for your help!

know that if I want to look at the original photo files on my iMac, I can right-click on users/myname/pictures and select "Show Package Contents".
Don't do that. That's like opening the hood of your car and trying to figure out what all the different bits and peices are and which you can yank out and dispose of. Simply, there are no user-serviceable parts in here.
So, your Question 2:
You back up the iPhoto Library as a single unit.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Your question 3:
There is no good back up to the Cloud. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the datasets are so large and the cloud services shapre their download speeds. This means restoring can take days to complete. Then, and this is the big problem, the iPhoto Library needs to sit on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Bluntly, no servers online are formatted appropriately, and if the Library is written to - by an incremental back up, for instance - there is a very high likelihood that the library will be corrupted.
Your Question 1:
The Library you're describing there sounds like one that has been updated a few times. Not everything you list there is a folder. Some will be aliases.
The Data folders hold thumbnails.
The Masters and Originals folders hold the files as imported from the camera
The Previews hold the versions of the edited photos that are accessed via the Sharing mechanism.
I think if you look losely that you'll notice that one of the Data folders and one of either the Masters or the Originals folders is actually an alias.
Everything else is a database or cache file of some form. All are required for iPhoto to work.
As an FYI:

How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

Hi all,
how to identify what are all the events are created for background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
thanxs
haritha

Hi Haritha,
JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
Use
As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.
Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System. These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
for more information you can go thru the following thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
About Events:
Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
Types of Events:
There are two types of events:
1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.
for more information you can go thru the following thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
1. Immediate
2. Date & Time
3. After event.
4. After job.
5. At Operation mode.
In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.
Also Pls check DB02 for database performance and ST03 for workload .
Analyse u will have an idea ,
*pls assign points,if info is useful**
