What's the best way to run 1200 parameterised instances of one report?

Hi,
We have the requirement to run 1 report for 1200 different parameter inputs every month. The report is written as a Deski report based on one universe.
Basically we have a list of deal codes, and we need to produce a report based on each deal code, Iteratively. This report is then to be sent to a separate folder. Two questions spring to mind:
1) Is it feasible to hard code these parameters and schedule each instance separately?
2) What other options are there?
3) Are we able to schedule the report once, and have it iterate through a list of values?
Thanks for all your assistance.
Kind regards,
Rory.

Hi Stratos,
We're using BO Enterprise XI R2.
I'll have a closer look into publications then, and see if that can help.
Any other options you can think of would be great.
Thanks and regards,
Rory

What is the best way to run Sage on a MacBook Pro? I am a first time Apple user.

There's a lot of Sage out thete so fill us in with information. If it runs on Windows then you'll need to create a partition on your mbp using boot camp and install Windows. So what is Sage for you?

What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? And What are the pitfalls I should watch for?

What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? What are the pitfalls/

If you need Windows as your main operating system you would be better off buying a Real Windows PC.
Running windows on a Mac is always a compromise. Whether in a Boot Camp partition or in a Virtual Machine.
In boot camp you can't easily Re-Partition and or Re-Size the drive it is installed on. You can't use both graphics cards as Apple has limited Windows to use the discrete graphics only, that is if your mac has 2 graphics cards (15" MBPs), which will shorten the battery run time in Windows.
The trackpad only has limited functions in Windows, less then is available on the Mac side and a real Windows PC.

Logic is designed to run from your Applications folder. I suspect if Logic was moved to an external drive, it might not be able to locate its assets, like loops and libraries.
As long the necessary files are in the correct places on the boot disc, you can run the Logic application itself fom wherever you like. It would not be recommended however, and there would be very little benefit (if any) in doing so.

What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac?

What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac? I need to run some updates for my john deere gps and the downloads i get can only be run on windows.

There are several options for running Windows software (*.exe files) on a Mac, depending what your program is, how often you use it, and your personal preferences.
One way that does not require Windows is an open source effort called WINE. Check out winehq.org. You may find that that's all you need for your programs. There is also a commercial effort that has grown from WINE, and you will find info about it on the site mentioned. These DO NOT require that you have and install Windows.
If you want to run sessions devoted only to Windows software, and want programs to run as fast as they do on a PC, the Apple's Bootcamp program is useful. With it you dedicate a partition on your hard disk to windows, and on startup choose to either boot into OS X or Windows. Each runs without any connection to the other. This requires you have a copy of the Windows software as well as the applications you want to run.
If you want to be able to easily exchange data between your Windows and Mac programs, and skip back and forth between the two, there are several emulators available that run on Mac OS X and create a Windows environment where many Windows programs can operate along side Mac programs. Parallels and VMwear are two comercial packages available for purchase and Virtual Box is an open source effort available for free. Google will find all three for you.
My only experience is with Virtual Box. It is slow and a bit clunky, but it is free and meets my needs for the very few "just got to have" windows programs I sometimes use.
Google is your friend on this and can provide a lot more, and better, information than I can.
Best of luck,
Ray

What is the best way to run windows on my mac?

What is the best way to run windows on my mac?
I have a particular program that i need to run, and it only runs on windows. I have a macbook pro

As Templeton noted, it depends and will at least be somewhat subjective.
There are basically three options out there. You can use a Windows emulator (Wine or the commercial version of it, Crossover Office), use Boot Camp to "dual boot" or use virtualization software (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox). Each has its advantages or disadvantages.
The Windows emulators have the advantage of being the one option that doesn't need the purchase of a copy of Windows. Unlike Boot Camp, but like the virtualization options, this allows you to run Windows programs and OSX programs side by side. The big problem, though, is that it is the least compatible option--a lot of Windows software either has "issues" or will not function at all. The Crossover website has information on which programs are known to work and how well they are known to work.
Boot Camp is the option that Apple ships OSX with. You'll need a copy of Windows to install into the partition. You'll effectively divide your disk into two parts and have two machines. The major advantages are, first, you don't need to acquire separate software *AND* the Windows license. As well, it's the highest performance Windows system. What you have is truly a Windows machine. That's both the good and the bad--you aren't going to be able to use OSX software at the same time, and you have to reboot to get back to OSX. I've always thought it was best for someone who likes the Apple hardware and wants to use it for a Windows box--in that case Boot Camp is clearly a great solution.
Finally there's virtualization which seems to be the most popular way to handle Windows, especially if you need to run one vertical market package. It has the advantage of allowing you to use your OSX software at the same time, and the virtualization gives an extremely high level of compatibility. About the only thing that won't run is a virtualization package (and there's not a lot of reason to run that in a Windows VM). There is a performance hit compared to Boot Camp, but it's minimal for all but the most demanding applications (that being high end games).
It will chew up RAM on the OSX machine, but if you have at least 4 GB of RAM it will probably be manageable, especially if you only need to run one Windows program.
You will need both a virtualization program (there are three major ones) and purchase Windows. Two of three programs are commercial packages (Parallels and VMWare Fusion), while the other is an open source option (VirtualBox). Virtual Box has the advantage of being free, but it's by far the least polished of the group.
Which way is best? As was noted, it depends. I run VMWare Fusion on my machines, and I have used CrossOver Office for limited purposes. I've not yet seen, in my use pattern, a reason to go to Boot Camp but I certainly can see cases where it might make sense.

What is the best way to run AirPort Extreme and Airport Time Capsule together?

I have cable DSL, and I was running an AirPort Extreme. DH was sold a time capsule, so I just daisy-chained off the airport. We had an issue with limited reach, so I tried to reconfigure. Now I have no wifi at all. Tried everything I can think of. What is the best way to handle these two products, or should one be left out? Any suggestions would be great.

Decide which one you would like to serve as your router, and configure the other one as a bridge. If they are both the most recent models of each neither one is particularly advantageous over the other.
Connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable if you want to create a "roaming network", or not, if you want to create a "wirelessly extended" network. A roaming network is the better of those two choices.
"Hard reset" the one connected to the modem and use AirPort Utility to configure it. Verify everything works to your satisfaction, then "hard reset" the other and configure it.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

What is the best way to run Quicken 2007 on Lion?

I must use Quicken 2007 but have upgraded to Lion. What is the best way to continue using a program that is no longer compatible with 10.7

Unfortunately, you will need to find a different application; you can't continue to use an app that is not compatible. Or, you can revert back to your Snow Leopard clone (you did back up your SL install before upgrading?) in order to run Quicken. You could have two partitions on your hard drive - one for SL and one for Lion.

You can't run IE on an iPad and the only way to use it on a Mac, since it's been discontinued for years for the Mac OS, is to install Windows either via Boot Camp or via running Windows as a virtual machine using something such as Parallels Desktop (my personal preference).

What is the best way to run dual monitors with a 2011 MBP?

I have a 2011 MBP and i want to run dual 1920x1080 monitors. what is the best way to accomplish this? i also have a PC attached to the monitors with the DVI connection (but would be willing to change this to the analog, if necessary). so i have teh analog and HDMI connections available on the backs of the monitors.
what i would like to do is hook the MBP through the HDMI if possible and then i would just be able to change inputs on the monitors depending in which computer i want to use (PC or MBP).
any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Ok, you either own a MacBook Pro with an Intel Processor, or a PowerBook with a PowerPC Processor.
If your stated speed is correct, then you own a PowerBook, which will not run Windows natively. development & sales for Virtual PC has ceased. The only emulator still around, I think, is iEmulator & is terribly slow on G4s.
Boot Camp does not work on PowerPC Macs.
Please correct your signature & descriptions so we can identify the correct machine. Thanks!

What is the best way to move an iPhoto library from one internal drive to another internal drive?

the drive where my iPhoto library is store is just about full. I have a second internal SSD that I'd like to move (not copy) the library to. What is the best way to do that and still ensure that iPhoto will access the library in its new location?

Just drag the iPhoto Library package from the one drive to the second disk. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library in it's new location on the second disk. Once you're satisfied that it is working satisfactorliy you can delete the copy on the first disk.

What's the best way to load balance multiple protocols on one vserver?

Hi,
We have a CSM blade on a 6513, in bridge mode. I'm just wondering what is the best way to serve HTTP and HTTPS (or any two or more ports) from the same group of servers. As I see it, we have two options:
1. Don't set a port on the vserver, so it is load balancing "any" or "tcp". This is easy but I want to be sure there isn't a downside to this, other than the obvious security issue.
2. Create multiple vservers and point them at the same serverfarm. I tried this and I got some odd results with the health checks.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

you listed the only 2 options available.
The advantage of solution #2 is that you can apply specific config for each protocol ie: for HTTP you can turn 'persistent rebalance' if needed.
If you want to use specific probes [not icmp], it is also a good practice to create a different serverfarm for each protocol.
Like this, if the HTTP service goes down but not the server, you can still have other protocols loadbalanced.
Regards,
Gilles.

What is the best way to work on multiple songs in one long recording?

I often record the local open-mic nights and generally just leave logic recording the entire night so i end up with lots of songs/bands in one big recording.
What is the best way to work with such a recording? Is there a better way than just using the event marker when a new band plays?
Also once i get home id like to save each band to a separate project but i cant seem to find an easy way to do this?
Obviously each band needs a different mix hence needing separate projects? or am i missing a much better work method?
any help greatly appreciated!
many thanks

As for your second point, just do a "save as" new file name and cut and erase any unwanted audio from the arrange window (ie. the bits that aren't in the song you want separate). You can do this for as many songs as there are and create a different mix for each one no problem. You multiple select and drag all the regions to the beginning of the arrange window (make sure you do them at the same time so's they don't go out of synch. All the separate songs and mixes can be saved in the same project folder as the original audio files are stored in (the folder structure should be there already if you started a new logic project, so no need to change that.
I would think using markers so you know where each song begins during the show, and the above method after, would be a very good way of organizing things. You may want to stop actually recording between bands too though I expect you are already doing this.
Its really as easy as that. Sometimes things just are.

What is the best way to operate 2 separate iphones on one computer

HI - HELP PLEASE.....
My wife has an iphone and an itunes account registered on her computer - i have just bought an iphone and i want to register it to the same computer, create and itunes account, but we want to keep out apps & music ect seperate - what is the best way of doing this? Thanks.
rb999

The best way is a matter of personal taste. The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways, each with their own pros & cons. For instance if you generally share one profile on the computer already, creating another just to support a different iTunes library may be inconvenient. Switching libraries within the same profile ought to be as easy as opening two different documents, but it isn't. If you have some cross over in your taste for music and apps you may find a shared library is actually easier to manage.
We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer.
If you go down the shared library route you can make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge by turning off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
For media I use the sync with selected playlists method with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

What's the best way to run FrameMaker 8 on a Mac?

What's my best bet for running FrameMaker 8 on a MacBook Macintosh laptop?
Can I run FM 8 directly under OS X, since it's a Unix app? Any special tricks to making it go?
Or will I need to run FM 8 under Linux or Windows? If so, I'll need to be able to copy and paste from one environment to the other. What are my options? Their pros and cons?
I'm switching from a PowerBook to a MacBook so I can run MacSpeech Dictate dictation software. Dictate ONLY runs on Intel Macs.
I currently use FrameMaker+SGML 6.0 in Classic. It CAN'T run on the Intel Macs.
I have over half a million words of FrameMaker files, including 7 volumes of cross-referenced research notes I add to almost daily. Since I am heavily dependent on FrameMaker's features, it's a must-have.
I haven't bought the MacBook yet, so if there are any hardware requirements I need to know about, or options I should consider or avoid, please let me know.

> If I understood him correctly, the Adobe salesperson I talked to
> yesterday runs the Unix version of FrameMaker directly under OS X
There is NO way to get the Unix (=Solaris) version of FM 8 to run
under OS X. It's an executable compiled for the SPARC processor,
and I don't think Apple has made a SPARC/Solaris emulator... :-)
