What are the .plist.lockfile files in the preference folders?

I've just recently noticed in the Library/Preferences folder, and the Users/Library/Preferences folder, files appearing with ".plist.lockfile" at the end of the file names, and they are zero bytes. I don't recall seeing those files in there before. Just wondering what these are and why they would have zero bytes to them.

I googled it and found this article.
Long but very informative. It takes a while to read through it.

Adding to Kappy's comments, if you don't know what's in them, don't open them.
Once you know what's in them you probably won't bother opening them.
Learn Unix first. Understand the filesystem, permissions, commands, ACLs etc. first.
Also read these boards about other people's unfortunate experiences playing around under the hood without full knowledge of the system.

What are the basic .jar files to be set in web dynpro project classpath

Hi,
I am having a problem while customizing the ESS. I used DTR, DC and imported configuration. After that, I created project from one of the DC(say ess/jp/addr). Later when I open an iView from any Web Dynpro component, I am getting lot of errors without even making any modifications.
I closed the project and reopened it and reload & rebuilt, but it doesn't solved my problem. In my classpath settings I couldn't find any jar files except the jre_lib. Could you please let me know what are the basic jar files we have to set in classpath and where to get them from. We are using NWDS 7.0.06 version.
Can you please let me know how to solve this or any other way to work around this.
It's an urgent to be fixed as early as possible, plz help me out.
Thanks & Regards,

Which option is best suited for huge file data?
Is LSMW an old technology and SAP will not support it any more?
Kindly answer my queries at the earliest.
I will be greatful to you if you can help me.

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called READ DATASET. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

What are the most important system preference files to have backed up?

This isn't specifically a Time Machine question but since it pertains to backup I thought it would be best here. In addition to backing up my entire system to an external HD using Time Machine I'm also planning to back-up critical files to an online service (Mozy) in case I should have a break-in or fire or something like that and not be able to recover either my laptop or my external HD.
I've started to identify some of the files I'd like to back up such as the encrypted database where my passwords are stored (Wallet) but I'm wondering what some of the other things I should back up are. What are the files that would contain important data that I wouldn't want to lose or would help get in me up and running more quickly?

Hiya,
firstly, I would not recommend backing up anything *in isolation*. As all system critical files interact, and some are stored (invisibly) at various locations, including the volume header.
The "library" files (you'll find various ones, one in your actual bootup drive, one in your home folder, and one in your "system" folder) are, of course critical (see Dimaxium's post)
With a MBP, I'd recommend timecapsule or external firewire HDD (I had some excellent experience with LaCie 1Tb on Firewire 800 - incredibly fast).
What I'd do, rather than running Time Machine, which can be - of course - *very useful* (drawback, it uses the backup disk till full) is the following:
If you know your existing OS is pristine and works perfectly, I'd get external HDD, install Leopard (from Leopard disk), then use migration assistant and it'll create a clone (if you tick all the boxes - note article about the versions: http://macs.about.com/od/leopard105/ss/migratevol.htm ).
That way, the new disk has everything. And from time to time, just boot up, using your external HDD and update.
Bit more work, but that way, you got a fully functional "emergency OS" available anytime.

What are the key steps & order to follow: changes in my flat file structure

HI,
I have a Cube which sits on ODS.
In the ODS, the are 6 characterisics: Char1, Char2,...., char6; and 3 key figures: kf1, kf2, and kf3.
The ODS is loaded through a flat file.
Through an update rule and startup routine, the ODS updates the cube.
Now, I have a new requirement to add 2 new characteristics (Cha10, char20) and one 2 key figures (KF55, KF66)).i.e. the flat file will now be coming in with these new fields.
I have an idea but this this is the first time I really have to implement, I need to be sure.
What are the key steps that I need to go through and in what order?
Thanks

What version are you running ?
Will you need to load history data as for these new fields or is it just going forward ?
Is it all one to one mapping for the new fields ?
1. Make sure you know to what dimensions you need to add the new chars ? New dimension for these two ?
2. New chars to be made keyfields ?
3. Update Type for keyfigures Overwrite or Additive ?
Enhance the Cube, DSO, change TRFN/TR/UR..

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

There are many jre exe files: what are the differences and which I choose?

Having some problems, that I will describe in another message, I was looking for the latest jre.
I saw that on www.java.com there is 6 update 1, whereas on www.sun.com there is already 6 update 2. So, I would like to know when an update is made available on www.java.com and through automatic updates?
Also, I saw different names, and I would like to understand in an exact way what are the differences:
jre-6-windows-i586.exe;
jre-6-windows-i586-iftw.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-s.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
I understand that te iftw part means the it is a small download, only the setup module. But why there are some files that end with "-p", some with "-p-s", sm with "-i586"?
Thank You

The question mark icon on the dlls indicates that LabVIEW is unsure of
the location of the DLL, or is unable to locate the DLL on your
system. This can happen if the DLLs do not exist, or if the "Call
Library Function Node" just specifies the name of the dll, and not the
entire path to the dll. IVI and Instrument driver VIs will
typically not supply the entire path to the DLL, whch would cause the
question mark icon to appear.
If your application is working properly, then you should ignore the
question mark in the dependencies list. If your application is
broken because the DLLs cannot be found, they are installed with the
following drivers:
ivi.dll is installed with the IVI compliance package, which is available at the following link:
Drivers and Updates: IVI Compliance Package
You should also install the latest version of NI-VISA, which is required by the IVI Compliance Package:
