What is the best way to handle executing multiple packages from the Agent?

I have several packages that have to be executed in sequence. I thought the best way to do that was by creating a job for each package then have a master job that executes the other packages. In my master job, I'm using sp_start_job to call the other
jobs. The problem is, the master job moves from step to step without waiting for the child jobs to finish; basically they all execute together.
That is the way I've seen it done in other places so I feel like I'm doing something wrong. In the alternative, I know it's possible to set the individual steps up so they execute the packages directly without calling an external job. I prefer the first
way though.
Which way should I jump on this?

So basically what I'm hearing is just call the packages in a mulit step job. Creating a master package and calling child packages sounds a little crazy and unscaleable especially considering that the packages have master child relationships
within themselves. It's SSIS Package Inception.
Sorry whats the issue with that?
Provided you're setting the package sequence correctly based on your dependency it will work fine as loop gets iterated based on how you set the package list.
What we have is a audit and control mechanism which even have details on the dependency so based dependency set only the packages gets ordered and listed for the loop to iterate through and executing. Also tomorrow if a new package comes into being, all
it takes for us is to tweak the audit table to add a new entry for the package and set the dependency and it will continue to work fine including the new package without touching the existing job for any modification whatsoever.
Another advantage of this table is we also capture audit details in it like date when package got last executed, its status of execution,rows processed (insert,modified, deleted) etc which can be used for easy monitoring of the data processing tasks as well.

With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
- via WiFi
- via usb cable
From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

What is the best way to import and export footage from the 5D Mark II?

Hello,
I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece. Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing. Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline. I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
My questions:
1) What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
2) What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
3) What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects? I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction. I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance. I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage. I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!

1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
good luck..

What is the best way to set up multiple devices in the same household?

Our family has a bunch of devices (phones,pads,pods) all set up under the same appleID. The idea was to be able to share iTunes content among devices. The problem is that there is personalized data merging between devices (address book, apps, etc). Is there a way to set up multiple devices under the same account while maintaining their own identity so that Each user can have their own apps, addresses, etc without having to sift through everyone else's stuff?

Continue to share your iTunes ID, but use different IDs for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. (When you share the same iCloud account across multiple devices, any synced data is merged and the merged list appears on all devices sharing the account.)
To change the ID For:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want in each account (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

What's the best way to handle all my data?

I have a black box system that connects directly to a PC and sends 60 words of data at 10Hz (worse case scenario). The black box continuously transmits these words, which contain a large amount of data that is continuously updated from up to 50 participants (again worst case scenario)
i.e. 60words * 16bits * 10Hz * 50participants = 480Kbps. All of this is via a UDP Ethernet connection.
I have LabVIEW reading the data without any problem. I now want to manipulate this data and then distribute it to other PCs on a network via TCP/IP.
My question is what is the best way of storing my data locally on the interface PC so that I can then have clients request the information they require via TCP/IP. Each message that comes in via the Ethernet will relate to one of the participants, so I need to be able to check if I already have data about that participant - if I do then I can just update it, if I don't I need to create a record for the participant, and if I havn't heard from one for a while I will need to delete it. I don't want to create unnecessary network traffic. I also want to avoid global variables if possible - especially considering that I may have up to 3000 variables to play with.
I'm not after a solution, just some ideas about how to tackle this problem... I thought I could perhaps create a database and have labview update a table with the data, adding a record for each participant. Alternatively is there a better way of storing all the data in memory besides global variables?
Thanks in advance.

Hi russelldav,
one note on your data handling:
When each of the 50 participants send the same 60 "words" you don't need 3000 global variables to store them!
You can reorganize those data into a cluster for each participant, and using an array of cluster to keep all the data in one "block".
You can initialize this array at the start of the program for the max number of participants, no need to (dynamically) add or delete elements from this array...
Edited:
When all "words" have the same representation (I16 ?) you can make a 2D array instead of an array of cluster...

What's the best way to handle new versions of software?

So we have an Application setup for Adobe Reader (just using Reader as a general example) which is part of our Task Sequence. When Adobe releases a new version of Reader, what's the best way to handle getting the new version into our SCCM setup.
I know I can create a new application and do it all over and select the new file, but can I simply replace the files that the application is pointing to and then somehow tell it to update the DPs with the new files? I'd rather not have to create new
applications every time if I don't have to.
Thanks.

I think continue the way you are doing right now by creating a new application each time there is a version change. Its a clean way to do and this helps with Application life cycle mgmt aswell where you keep track of versions across the environments and
eventually retire an application. Specially where no changes are made without a change control. This is completely process specific and may not be applicable.
i do agree with above posted comments about using supercedence option.
However most of the apps comes with upgrade capabilities from previous versions. So you can upgrade existing version with new one if you do not wish to use supercedence.
Thanks

What is the best way to handle input parameter

When writing sub-vi's, what is the best way to handle input parameter range checking? On the front panel I can choose to have numeric values coerced to be within range, but this does not affect constants or controls wired to the vi when used as a sub-vi. I can build range checking into the vi, but this can result in a cluttered looking vi. Do you have any suggestions.

As you discovered, the Range and Coercion properties of controls do not work when used in sub-vis.
Your best option is to go ahead and build your range checking into your sub-vis. If it�s something you will be doing a lot, just make your range checking a sub-vi and drop it where needed. This will keep the clutter to a minimum. You may end up with more than one range checking VI if you need different functionality, but this will still make less clutter and easier re-use.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Is converting the colorspace asking for trouble? Very possibly! If you were to do that to a PDF that was going to be used in the print industry, they'd shoot you! On the other hand, if the PDF was going online or on a mobile device – they might not care. And if the PDF complies with one of the ISO subset standards, such as PDF/X or PDF/A, then you have other rules in play. In general, such things are a user preference/setting/choice.
On the larger question – there are MANY MANY ways to approach PDF optimization. Compression of image data is just one of them. And then within that single category, as you can see, there are various approaches to the problem. If you extend your investigation to other tools such as PDF Enhancer, you'd see even other ways to do this as well.
As with the first comment, there is no "always right" answer. It's entirely dependent on the user's use case for the PDF, requirements of additional standard, and the user's needs.

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac. Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
os on old imac is 10.6.8. os on new imac is 10.7.2. I want the albums and events to stay intact. I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
Thanks for any tips.

Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
i have a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
Taking my C# further

Hi Saythj,
When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
many generating tools online to do that.
Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
