What's the 'best' way to copy a usable project to new one so it can be modified without affecting the original?

I'm pretty much a LavVIEW newbie.
I'm using LabVIEW 2012 Full on Windows 7. I copied a project using Save As-Duplicate in Project Explorer. It created an excessively long, complex directory structure. It resulted in 'too long' errors (presumably from the PATH being too long).
The intent was to get a copy of the usable project to be able freely modify it without damaging the original.
I've poked around the forums and knowledge base, didn't see anything definitive. I'm guessing the information is already posted but I just haven't been able to find it. A point in the correct direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

If you can use %90 twice, you could probably envision a third and forth use too. its easier to remove than add new...
those actors and engines should be in a reuse lvlib.
Much easier to remove then add, which is why I copied the tree and delete things not needed. But I do agree that these actors/engines could be more reusable. I do have them in lvlib form but many times there will be coupling between actors that are unavoidable. If the UPS actor detects a power outage it needs to tell the sequencing actor to stop testing if a testing is going on. For that reason I have a hard time splitting some actors into reusable modules, because they are only reusable if other components are there.

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,

Ya know what I'm on a brand new MBP just about 24 hours old and you know whats been working amazingly for me. I have a 27inch iMac as well and i've just connected it to my network and been dragging files and apps across the network onto my new MBP. Its really working fast and its flawless. You could always do that option, Just go into sharing options and turn them on for both Macs. Then just click and drag. Of course they have to both be on the same network for this to be possible.
Look at my network.
Shared is what your looking at. I click on there see all my computers files and then drag the ones i want form its folder to my MBP folders. Hope that helps if your looking for a very simple way on a wireless network.

What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie? It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies. I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
Import it into windows as you would a photo.
Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

What is the best way to copy data....

Hello friends,
What could you think is the best way to copy this data ? :
- I have two identical databases (Oracle 9i)
- I want to migrate the data of 90 tables (all tables begin with the same string, i.e. 'TAB') from Database1 to database2.
- There are integrity constraints, referentials, etc.
I'd like to generate a script to automate/accelerate the process.
So, I'm thinking on the following:
- Disable all the constraints in Database2.
- Connect to Database 1 and generate a script with the 'inserts' using TOAD (or another similar application)
- In a Database 2 session, execute the script...
Of course if I use TOAD I can't generate an unique script to do this process in one step so...
Any better idea? (Using export/import, ... or some script you have...)
Thanks.
Jose.

Use exp and imp. It works... seriously! And you don't need to drop the user/schema. But don't take my word, run an example...
On Database 1
First let's create a couple of tables with referential integrity to each other to make sure exp/imp can handle it...
SQL> create table t1 (t1_id number constraint pk_t1 primary key, t2_id number);
Table created.
SQL> create table t2 (t2_id number constraint pk_t2 primary key, t1_id number);
Table created.
SQL> alter table t1 add constraint fk_t1_t2 foreign key (t2_id) references t2 (t2_id);
Table altered.
SQL> alter table t2 add constraint fk_t2_t1 foreign key (t1_id) references t1 (t1_id);
Table altered.
SQL> insert into t1 (t1_id, t2_id) values (1, null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t2 (t2_id, t1_id) values (2, 1);
1 row created.
SQL> update t1 set t2_id = 2 where t2_id is null;
1 row updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from t1;
     T1_ID      T2_ID
         1          2
SQL> select * from t2;
     T2_ID      T1_ID
         2          1
SQL> select table_name, constraint_name, constraint_type, r_constraint_name from user_constraints
2 where table_name in ('T1','T2');
TABLE_NAME                     CONSTRAINT_NAME                C R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
T1                             PK_T1                          P
T1                             FK_T1_T2                       R PK_T2
T2                             PK_T2                          P
T2                             FK_T2_T1                       R PK_T1

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11?

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11? Previous PSE6 recovery (Wxp) after a failed HD resulted in pictures showing but not opening due to connection issues. Had to restore pictures from backup and rebuild the catalog and albums. Found a third party fix afterwards that has no support past PSE8. Trying to make this migration to PSE11 painless.

That's a very common and classical situation :
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
Just make sure that your backup to the external drive is ok : you should find a 'backup.tly' file in the folder.
Use the PSE11 organizer to restore from the PSE7 backup : the first step restores all your media files, the second automatically does a catalog conversion to the PSE11 format.
Read the note in the above link about restoring from XP to ulterior Win OS. You can also restore to a 'custom' location. For instance in a 'C:\My new library' folder. Make sure that master folder is accessible to all users, and if you want, you can move the catalog (database) itself from that location to the default location : catalog manager, option to move catalogs to location accessible to all users.

What's the best way to copy a big poster and print it out?

I'm doing a big art project (around 5ft by 5ft), where I'm going to draw stuff out by hand, and would like to make a copy of that project by scanning it into the computer, or taking high-res photos of the project and compiling them together in the computer, and then printing the image out at that size, or bigger. So, I will have the original, 5x5ft, and a printed copy.
What's the best way of doing this?
I hear that vector images are ideal for this, so is Illustrator recommended for this?
I know it's a vector graphics program, but is there any way I can take a bitmap image from a scan or photo, and somehow turn it into a vector? If this is not possible, what recommendations would you have?
I have Illustrator CS2.

Take the photo in one shot by a camera with 24MP, e.g.
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3x.htm
This should be sufficient for a poster reproduction 5ft square
as a raster image.
For vectorizing one doesn't need high resolution (it's often
recommended to blur the source image).
Perspective and lens corrections can be applied by Photoshop,
but the lighting should be well balanced.
Barrel distortion by wide angle lens is really no problem.
Plenty examples:
All photos here were taken without tripod by a 170 Euro camera.
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/andalusien13032010.pdf
Especially see p.20, a photo (with flash) of an exhibition photo,
viewing direction not orthogonal to the object, then perspectively
and lens-distortion corrected.
(The PDF shows the photos heavily downsampled).

What is the Best way To Copy and paste data from 1 book to another

I have 18 sheets in 5 different books that I want to extract data from specific cells. What is the best way to do this? Example: 1 sheet is called Numbers E-O1 data in 13:WXYZ. The data updates and moves up 1 row every time I enter
a new number. So let's say I enter the number 12. Through a lot of calculations the output goes in 13:WXYZ. To what I call a counter which is a 4 digit number. Anyways, how can I send that 4 digit number to a totally different sheet? To bullet
what I'm talking about
data in cells Row 13:WXYZ in book called Numbers sheet E-O1
send data to book called "Vortex Numbers" Sheet E-O row 2001:CDEF
What formula or Macro can I use to make this work?
thank you!

Hello Larbec,
Syntax:
'[BookName]SheetName'!Range
Enter in cell 2001:CDEF:
='[Numbers]E-O1'!13:WXYZ
This assumes that the file is open in Excel. Otherwise you need to add the path:
'ThePath[BookName]SheetName'!Range

What is the best way to copy database from overseas?

Hello All,
As customer need to migrate their databases(200 databases) to our data center, at this moment, we usually ask customer to send full backup by HDD and then send trn files via FTP, then we restore full backup and apply latest trn files until cutover. However
FTP is not stable, trn files are always broken.
The databases size are 3GB~150GB, trn file size are 1MB to 5GB, especially the big trn files are failed every time, we have set transfer mode to Binary in FTP client, but it still fails.
I have VPN access to their database server, so in this case is there a better way to copy/migrate their databases to our server?
Customer using Windows 2003 + SqlServer 2008
We using Windows 2012 R2 + SqlServer 2014
Appreciate your suggestions/advises.
Thanks,
Albert

You are doing it the best way. I would also ship the tlogs via courier if time permits. Note that the tlogs get very large during maintenance operations. You may find that if you continually ship the tlogs via log shipping and stagger the cutover you may
be able to do this in waves.
With this many databases this sort of migration is difficult without downtime.

What is the Best way to set up Photoshop on a new PC with multiple Hard drives and SSD?

Hi hope someone can help.
I am considering buying a new PC (see below). We want to run both Photoshop and Lightroom on the PC. We will also be using it as a Media centre – that’s why I have two big hard drives.
I would like to know the best way to install both Photoshop and Lightroom on the storage devices. As you can see I will have two 3TB hard drives and one 250G SSD card.
For Photoshop I have read that it can be advantages to have the program on one drive the photos on another drive and the “scratch file’ on a third drive. It was even suggested that the PCs Operating system could be on a different drive than the program. Is this correct and if
so what is best to go on the SSD card? I will be partitioning the Hard Drives and I could even partition the SSD drive if that could help. In this case what size partitions are recommended?
If you can see a component below that you think would be an issue with running Photoshop and Lightroom, could you also let me know what you would recommend?
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU. LGA1150
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97M Micro-ATX Motherboard LGA1150
RAM: TWO (2) x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Desktop Memory
HDD: TWO (2) x Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Graphics card: Leadtek nVidia Quadro K2200 4GB Graphic Card
Optical drive: LG Blu-Ray Combo Drive. BH16NS40
Power supply unit: Cooler Master V750S ATX Power Supply 750W, 80Plus Gold Certified
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 6Mid Tower Case
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Wireless / WiFi: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 900Mbps Wireless-N Dual Band PCI-E Adapter
BTW I would have liked to email this to Adobe support but could not find an email address to send it to. I hope this way works.

That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop. I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance. When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive. Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
My Documents
Desktop
Downloads
Look at Bridge cache
iTunes backup
Other stuff like that.
Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch. Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours). If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it. You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.

What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

Hey
I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
Any suggestions?
Sam

Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.
