What do all the parts of a Mac Pro really mean?

Hello,
     So right now I have a MacBook Pro, 13", 2 years old, 4GB ram, 160 GD hard drive, etc etc. I've got a wireless mouse, keyboard, and 27" LED Cinema Display, and I do graphic design work (as a job), and use my computer avidly. I'm the person who has 9 tabs open with 6 applications running. I also do a bit of gaming now and then, and love to fill up hard drives with my thousands of photos.
     So I want to upgrade to a Mac Pro in the future. However, my question is what should I get? With all this quad core, 8 core, 12 core, what will I really notice a difference in? Graphics card, what would really be beneficial - 1, 2, higher grade/normal grade? Whats a RAID card and a Solid-State drive? Would it be better to have multiple smaller hard drives or one big one?
     I mean realistically, what would help? Any good links for information?
Thanks
Ben

Okay, you may be happier then with Mac Pro. too often and it seems like a waste of my time if it is "pro-consumer" coming with questions, and often not well versed or not having researched the options and pros and cons.
Not everyone works with 1-2GB images and needs 32GB RAM and 6-cores though.
wish I could look in crystal ball and see 4th quarter Mac Pro with an LGA2011 socket processors from Intel - the next tic-toc after Nehalem/Westmere we have now. That may not happen for 6-9 months.
SSDs are great, but an SATA3 doesn't benefit and can actually run slow on SATA2 bus.
The DIY processor upgrade - 2.93GHz 8-core? not worth it. the 2.8 for $2100
Apple Special Mac Pro
Intel Xeon W3670 3.20GHz Hexacore Buy.com
W3670 Upgrade MacRumors
- includes photos
With PC, it is of course no trouble to build and run @ 4.2GHz and get more out of your investment.
A nice setup: 4 x 8GB RAM plus 3.33 6-core along with 2x SSD and 4 x 2TB drives
MacPerformanceGuide can take a couple days to digest and look at all the articles on various mac configurations.
A 2011 MacBook Pro shows it is competitive now.
So long as there is enough memory for Photoshop CS5 to use, the new 2011 MacBook Pro quad-core offers outstanding performance approaching that of the Mac Pro.

To understand CS5 on a Mac Pro you really want to study this section:
Strange but True: Photoshop CS5 Performance
More cores, more RAM, not always more performance
some want a laptop to take to clients and dont' want 60 lbs. An iMac top of the line can definitely do a lot more now.

Do I have all the parts to replace my HDD with a new SSD on my Macbook (late 2008)?

Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out if have all the parts to replace my hdd with a new ssd on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum).
I just bought a crucial mx100 SSD and plan on replacing my mac HDD. I have the appropriate screwdrivers, and a bootable OSX on a usb drive. I also purchased a sabrent usb 2.0 to sata/ide hard drive adapter.
How do I replace and install OSX on my new SSD?
From what I read here are the steps I'm planning on taking.
1) Detach the old HDD
2) Attach new SSD.
3) Turn on computer and use the bootable usb drive to install OS X.
Does that work, I think I read somewhere about maybe formatting the SSD before I can use the bootable usb. Any input or help would be awesome. Thanks.
I'd prefer to do a clean install of yosemite and not carbon copy my old HDD

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

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!

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**

Dead-code elimination--what are all the rules?

This article http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jtp12214/ has an entire section on dead-code elimination (DCE).
Does anyone know what all the criteria are by which the hotspot JIT compiler can determine that code is "dead"?
One obvious criteria is if the code will never get executed. I think that the canonical example is code like this:
       static final boolean debug = false;
       static void someMethod() {
               if (debug) {
       }Here, the compiler (javac as well as hotspot's JIT) can determine that someMethod has nothing inside it that could ever get executed, so it can be turned into an empty method.
If you look at that developerworks link above, he gives an even more interesting example for how hotspot's JIT can make sophisticated DCE based on inlining.
What I want to know is what are all the criteria that hotspot can use to decide that code is dead. Code that is never executed is always correct. But can it make more liberal decisions as to what counts as dead code?
Consider this code:
     int[] foo = new int[1000];
     int bar = foo.length;
     // don't use foo again, but do use barA smart compiler could recognize that the array declaration and allocation is actually useless, and simply do
     int bar = 1000;(Thank you Brian for this example.)

What are the rules? Naturally, the only definitive answer can be given can be given by the HotSpot JIT.
That's not a very satifying answer, but it's true. The server JIT, like most compilers, has been taught hundreds and hundreds simplifying transformations that, in part, enable dead code elimination. Enumerating the criteria is a nearly impossible task.
But, your specific example is an interesting case.
int[] foo = new int[1000];
int bar = foo.length;For simplicity, I assume foo and bar are locals to a method, and in this case, the 6.0 HotSpot Server JIT will recognize that foo is unchanged before the initialization of bar, and effectively change it to:
int[] foo = new int[1000];
int bar = 1000;The JIT can't get rid of the allocation of the new array without a more advanced optimization called Escape Analysis, which attempts to determine the dynamic scope of objects. Of course, if these two lines comprise the whole method, then the analysis is fairly trivial.
Any intervening code will make the analysis more complex:
int[] foo = new int[1000];
baz(foo);
int bar = foo.length;
qux(foo);The calls sites will preclude your desired optimization, unless the called methods baz and qux can be inlined and analyzed. The code in baz can neither modify foo nor allow it to escape, and qux can not allow it to escape.
HotSpot's implementation of escape analysis is not quite yet complete, but should be available relatively soon.

Hi,

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

You can type in your machines serial number here to find out a little more about it, however, it won't tell you what components came from what countries to be assembled into the unit you have.

I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred. I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

CUBE - If it is not mandatory, what are all the things to compromise?

If having CUBE in Unified Communications infrastructure is not mandatory, what are all the things that needs to be compromised? I understrand CUBE provides security, interoperability and all.
If we don't have CUBE update installed in VoIP gateway, the coexistence of SIP and TDM trunking will not work? Please help me understanding this.

Thanks Aaron.
So, you saying the calls from VoIP Phone -> CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via PSTN->Destination VoIP Gateway->Destination UCM->Phone doesn't require CUBE. In this case, the destination need not to be a SIP enabled device (need not to be a VoIP phone?)?
And for the calls from VoIP Phone->CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via SIP->Destination VoIP gateway->CUCM->VoIP Phone (Here destination phone is a SIP enabled device?). Let me know your comments please.

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days
