What is the recommended way of preserving battery life?

I'm a bit confused. How do I preserve the battery life for an old (2008-ish) model of a white MacBook?
Some part of the internet says that:
Letting the MacBook plugged in to a power outlet even if the battery is full will result in the battery degrading its life (aka do not overcharge the battery because it's bad).
Another part of the internet says:
Removing the MacBook's power adapter when the battery is full will result in the battery degrading its life because it will get used more. (aka the battery will be overused because of not running on power adapter which is bad)
So can anyone clear this up for me? I's really confusing and I need a definite answer, thanks!

What's the best way to preserve battery life?

I know obviously make sure your backlight isn't always on and keep Wifi off, I've read www.apple.com/batteries throughout.
I'm talking about preserving the battery itself.
Like is it better to let the battery run all the way down before you recharge it or charge it as soon as it gets around 40-50% or every couple of days?
I have my blackberry which I charged every night regardless for months and months and now about a year later, the battery is basically crap and I'm lucky if I don't have to charge it every night now.
Same concept apply?

Yup, the backlight is the biggest battery drain.

Rechargeable batteries don't last forever. I supervise a cell phone repair department. We generally tell customers that, with average use, a battery will last about a year. Heavy users, it can be six months. Many Blackberrys have big screens, too. Over time, no matter what you do, a rechargeable battery will lose capacity and eventually, not hold a charge. At least your Blackberry has a user replaceable battery and you can pick one up for less than $40 dollars!
Best of luck.

Satellite U405 - What is the best way to increases battery life

Hi everyone!
I've been looking for this quite a bit and all I could find are conflicting answers and some confusing instructions... :)
Even the PDF file for my U405 has some conflicting tips (is it recommended to fully discharge it or not?)
Let's say that I don't want to remove it and store it with a 40% charge in a low temperature location (?) because I also want to trust it as a UPS (power failures are common where I stay).
So, in short, what is the best way to prolong my battery life to its maximum? Should I fully discharge it once a month or only half way through? Should it never be fully charged or that's actually a good thing?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can offer on this!
David

The best way would be indeed to put it out of the notebook, but you already said, you won't do this.
So, I would say to fully unload the battery once in a while and load it to a maximum.
This is all I can tell you right now, but don't know how much this will increase the battery's life.

What is the recommended way to upgrade system ruby and python binaries and their libraries?

I'd like to upgrade my system ruby to 1.9.2 instead of old 1.8.7. Also was wondering what's the recommended way of upgrading any scripting languages installed on system?

Hi Sogaard,
see below:
How does SAP recommend to integrate Webi-report in the SAP Portal? Is it through an URL iview, the iview templates (thumbnail, folder and alert) or through the Master Iview?
The sample iViews are just samples for a particular case. The iView template allows you to use any application on the BusinessObjects system - including the viewing of content. What you are looking for is the creation process for WebI. So you have 2 options: you can use the KM integration and you can build a java application that offers the workflow you looking for and integrate it with the iView template
Depending on what method should be used, I'd like to know which settings to be focused on. For instance, if the Master Iview is to be used, should opendocument be used instead of reports? And what other customizations will have to be done in order to integrate a Webi-report instead of a Crystal-Report?
OpenDocument is for viewing reports. The Installation Guide outlines the integration of the iView template and the KM part.
What is the intended use for the BOBJ repositoy manager? Would that be the way to integrate the Info-view?
This is the integration into the KM repository which provides a richer functionality then just an iView.

What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?

What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?. As per the IMQ admin documentation , using the default built-in persistence type which is through unix flat files is much efficient and faster, compared to the database persistence .
Tried setting up the jdbc stuff for database persistence on iAS 6.5 . I am getting the following
error .

Any thoughts?

From the output, you are using imq 2.0. In that release
the key used to persist a durable subscriber in the database
table has a limit of 100 characters. The output shows that
your value is:
SystemManager%3ASystemManagerEngine%2BiMQ+Destination%0AgetName%28%29%3A%09%09SM_Res
ponse%0AClass%3A%09%09%09com.sun.messaging.Topic%0AgetVERSION%28%29%3A%09%092.0%0Ais

esponse%2C+JMQDestinationDescription%3DA+Description+for+the+Destination+Object%7D:
which is much longer than 100 characters.
You might want to shorten the string you use for the
durable name.
And yes, the default file-based persistence store is
more efficient when compared to the plugged-in persistence
through a database.

What is the recommended way to truncate tables in ODI?

I want to create a separate step to truncate the result tables, before the start of the actual job. What is the recommended way of doing this?
I am currently putting the truncate statements in the ODI procedure, but that has a lot of typing. Is there a odi command in the toolbox that I can use?
Thanks.

Ok,
If the table will be loaded by interfaces, you have the "Truncate" option at the IKM's, just change it to "Yes".
If you need to Truncate but they won't be loaded by Interfaces a possible way is:
- requirements: it will be necessary to have some common "string" at tables names.
1) create a procedure
2) create an step
3) at source tab put:
Select table_name from user_tables where table_name in '%THE_STRING%'
4) at target tab put:
Truncate table #table_name
If you don't have a common "string" you, instead, can create a table with all table names that you need to truncate and change the select command at 3).
Does it help you?

What is the recommended way of connecting to repository out of WebDAV, RMI, JNDI, and JCA connector possibilities provided by CQ 5.5?

Hi dp_adusumalli,
I recognized your list of ~8 questions you posted at around the same time, as I received that same list in our customer implementation from Arif A., from the India team, visiting San Jose. :-)
I provided him feedback for most of the questions, so please check back with Arif for that info.
For this particular question, can you provide specifics for the types of interactions you are interested in?
Understanding the kinds of things you need to achieve will help determine which of the CQ/CRX interfaces is best suited for the task(s).
I've collated a few points on this subject on this page:

What is the recommended way to do multiple channel, single point sampling for control with an NI PCI-6255 in RLP?

Hello,
I am writing a driver for the M-series NI PCI-6255 for QNX. I have downloaded the MHDDK and have all the examples working. I have also enhanced the examples to do interrupt handling (e.g. on AI_FIFO interrupt or DMA Ring Buffer interrupt). My ultimate goal is to write a driver that I can use for closed-loop control at 500 Hz using all 80 channels of the NI PCI-6255. I may also need to synchronize each scan with a NI PCIe-7841R card for which I've already written a driver. I want an interrupt-driven solution (be it programmed I/O on an interrupt or DMA that generates an interrupt) so that the CPU is available to other threads while the 80 analog inputs are being read (since it takes quite a while). I also want to minimize the number of interrupts. Basically, I will need to collect one sample from all 80 channels every 2 milliseconds.
There are many different options available to do so, but what is the recommended technique for the NI PCI-6255 card? I tried using the AI FIFO interrupt without DMA, but it seems to interrupt as soon as any data is in the AI FIFO (i.e. not empty condition), rather than when all 80 channels are in the FIFO, so more interrupts are generated than necessary. I tried using DMA in Ring Buffer mode to collect a single sample of 80 channels and interrupting on the DMA Ring Buffer interrupt, which appears to work better except that this technique runs into problems if I cannot copy all the data out of the DMA buffer before the next AI scan begins (because the DMA will start overwriting the buffer as it is in ring buffer mode). If the DMA is not in ring buffer mode or I make the ring buffer larger than one 80-channel sample then I don't have a way to generate an interrupt when one sample has been acquired (which I need, because I'm doing control).
I saw something in the documentation about a DMA Continue mode in which it looks like you can switch between two different buffers (by programming the Base Count/Address with a different address than the current address) automatically and thereby double-buffer the DMA but there is no real documentation or examples on this capability. However, I think it would work better than the Ring Buffer because I could interrupt on the DMA CONT flag presumably and be copying data out of one buffer while it is filling the other buffer.
Another option would be DMA chaining, but again, I cannot find any information on these features specific to the NI DAQs.
I tried interrupting on AI STOP figuring that I could get a single interrupt for each scan, but that doesn't appear to work as expected.
I know that DAQmx on Windows has the ability to do such single sample, multiple channel tasks at a fixed rate so the hardware must support it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Daniel Madill

Hello,
The interrupt that will happen nearest the times that you need is the AI_Start_Interrupt in the Interrupt_A group. This interrupt will occur with each sample clock. By the second time this interrupt fires, the AI FIFO should have the samples from the first conversion. If it is easier to use programmed IO, you can read the samples out of the FIFO until you get all 80.
Additionally, you can set the DMA to send samples as soon as the FIFO is no longer empty...instead of waiting for half full or full. This change will reduce latency for your control loop. You can set AI_FIFO_Mode in AI_Mode_3_Register to 0. By the second time this interrupt fires, you should be able to check how much data is in the DMA ring buffer and read the 80 samples when they are available. You can make the ring buffer larger than 80 samples if you see data getting overwritten.
There is no interrupt associated with 80 samples being available in the FIFO or 80 samples being available/transferred by DMA to the host. X Series has much more flexibility with these interrupts.
I hope this helps!

What is the recommended way to obtain tracking data from carriers post XSI

We currently run an old version of SAP Business Connector. We are in the process of migrating all interfaces off BC onto PI. The one remaining interface we have problems is the XSI (Express Delivery Interface) interface we have with ECC06 and UPS via the BC server. The interface works but is not stable and we would like to decommission it if we are able.
I'm not 100% clear but it appears that XSI is no longer the recommended solution for obtaining tracking data from carriers. What is the recommend method today? We'd be happy to use a PI or ABAP solution but would prefer a standard solution that was supported by SAP and UPS.
