What would the best process chain look like for this MD data load scenario?

Hi there,
I have the following setup. SAP BW connection to external system via DBConnect (DB2 database).
We have 73 master data text data sources to load either once a week or everyday through process chain. We have not decided on the exact schedule yet.
All the master data text DataSources pull data from the SAME VIEW created on the DB2 external system:
VWDEDMASTERDATA
The structure of the view is the following:
DEDNAME
DEDNAMETYPE
DEDNAMECODE
DEDNAMEDESC
DEDNAMELONGDESC
So, everytime master data text is extracted for all the 73 objects it queries the same view over and over again VWDEDMASTERDATA. We only differentiate in the datasource on the FIELDS tab which InfoObject should DEDNAME map to and then in InfoPackage we filter on the exact object/field to query.
So essentially, every time we run InfoPackage for master data text object the external system gets queried in the following way:
SELECT * from VWDEDMASTERDATA where DEDNAME = [FIELD/InfoObject specified in InfoPackage]
So, if I have to have all 73 objects loaded, essentially the same SQL statement has to execute 73 times. In this scenario, what would be the proper process chain setup that has perfomance in mind? How should the InfoPackages be arranged, in parallel, sequentially, how many in a row, etc?
Let me know if you need more information.
thanks

They would like to send the letters to me
Depending upon how they send the letters to you and how they expect Acrobat to convert them you could be bordering on a license violation that prohibits you from using your version of Acrobat as a server-based product.
Adobe offers server based products to convert rtf files into pdf files. Some require your company to run a server, but one seams exactly what they may want. The createpdf service is run by Adobe and seems capable of doing what your company wants.

How would a calc all script look like for this outline

I understand that
When you perform a default calculation (CALC ALL) on a database, Essbase calculates the dimensions in this order:
If both a dimension tagged as accounts and a dimension tagged as time exist, and if formulas are applied to members on the accounts dimension, Essbase calculates in this order:
Dimension tagged as accounts
Dimension tagged as time
Other dense dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)
Other sparse dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)
Otherwise, Essbase calculates in this order:
Dense dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)
Sparse dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)
but what would the calc srcipt look like for the below outline
Dense 1 = 1822 (Accounts)
Dense 2 = 32 (Periods)(Time)
Sparse 1 = 12
Sparse 2 = 10
Sparse 3 = 17
Sparse 4 = 21
Sparse 5 = 22
Sparse 6 = 7
Sparse 7 = 79
Sparse 8 = 761
Sparse 9 = 1081
Sparse 10 = 12140
Thanks in advances

No need to get excited, especially as you have already answered the question.
As you wrote:
If both a dimension tagged as accounts and a dimension tagged as time exist, and if formulas are applied to members on the accounts >>dimension, Essbase calculates in this order:
Dimension tagged as accounts
Dimension tagged as time
Other dense dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)
Other sparse dimensions (in the order in which they are displayed in the database outline)So Essbase will calculate, in listed order, the following dimensions:
Accounts
Period
Years
Subledger
Company
Region
Division
Ledger
MfgCenter
Business Center

As I and others have written, doing a CALC ALL on the above is not a great idea for a variety of reasons and I personally think this could likely be done pretty easily as an ASO database, but that's with just a hint as to what your requirements are.
If you don't believe me (and I suggest that you do not for your edification) the above calc order is really easy to test. Create a copy of the database, clear it out, find one level zero intersection for all dimensions and do a lock and send/submit to get one block of data. Use the following commands in a calc script: SET UPDATECALC OFF; SET AGGMISSG ON ; SET MSG DETAIL ; CALC ALL ; That will show you (quickly) exactly what and in what order the database gets calculated. Just take a look at the application log.

What is the best camera technique to use for this project?

hi, im making a small thing for my gf on motion. i have it so that certain text appears along with pictures. i want the camera to pause momentarily to read what it says and then begin moving to the next set of text/pictures, then stop there for a little while too, then go on to the next one, etc etc.
whats the best way to do this? the pictures/text are NOT in a straight line so making the camera go straight through wont work. one might be directly in front of the camera then i will have made the next set to be directly downward so i want the camera to swoop down there and pause on them, then the next set might be straight up all the way at the top etc. how can i get the camera to move then pause, move then pause over and over where i want it to until the project is over?
sorry if this is a noob question but i have no idea
thanks!!

What version of the studio are you using?
In Motion 3 you could try keyframing the camera move , the zoom layer behavior, or Move behavior.
If you've got Motion 4, try the Camera Framing Behavior.
There are several ways to accomplish what you want to do, it really comes down to what you are most comfortable with.

What is the best process for adding a long text scroll into a video?

I have an hour video and need to insert a narrated poem that will either scroll or have lines fade in / out. What is the best process to create that poem? Do I use Motion? Live Type? compose it directly in FCP? I'll have either a still image or a looping video for the background. Once I know the best starting point, then I'll refine my questions. The poem is about 4 minutes narrated. Appreciate any help to get me started.

In the effects window try "Scrolling Text". Set it to be the length you need it (duration) and paste in your text and render and see how you like it. I think scrolling text has a nice little fade at the top and bottom too.
Or, you can make the text an image in something like Photoshop and keyframe it to slowly move in FCP for the duration of the video.

I have an IPad2. I've received two different ideas on charging the battery. One person indicates I should let the battery run almost down before recharging; another person indicated I should keep it charged closer to 100% . What is the best process?

I have an IPad2. I've received two different ideas on charging the battery. One person indicates I should let the battery run almost down before recharging; another person indicated I should keep it charged closer to 100% . What is the best process for the best battery life over time?

I do exactly as Thomas Reed does. Always have from day one. Going on 15 months now and I get at least 10 hours of use out the battery every day. No matter how much juice is left on the device when I go to bed - I put the iPad on the charger - doesn't matter what the battery gauge says - I plug it in and let it charge all night.

What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is foremost a problem of human behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the left side of the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

What is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook air

what is the best sharepoint 2010 synchronisation tool for macbook.
Access sharepoint from a mapped drive is really slow, so I want to save my files locally and synchronise with Sharepoint 2010.
Is there an application or client for this.

Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?

What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?
It seems that people usually show I/O examples with IOs like:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInptuStream()));
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
out.println("Hello World");
out.flush();
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
out.println("Hello World");
out.flush();When I say 'best I/O' I mean, can you give me an I/O that'll be the best if a MUD starts getting LOTS of request and becomes rather busy?
Thanks!

One last question, are output streams thread safe?A stream is inherently serial in the way it data is written to it. If two threads try to write to the same stream asynchronously, the ordering of the data written will not be predictable.
For example:
One class is recieving input from a user and
reply-printing thing like "Command Successful", and
another class is recieving messages from other users,
but the PrintWriter would be originally created in the
first class and then passed as a parameter to the
second class...would this work, or should I just
redirect all command replies to that second class?If they are in the same thread, then it could work. If there are separate threads, then some higher granularity synchronization needs to be imposed, so that the second thread doesn't start writing part way through the first's output.
For example:public class NeoThreadWriter implements Runnable {
final String name;
final int delay;
final boolean synch;
NeoThreadWriter (String name, int delay, boolean synch) {
    this.name = name;
    this.delay = delay;
    this.synch = synch;
public void run () {
    if (synch) {
      new Synch().run();
    } else {
      new ASynch().run();
class Synch implements Runnable {
    public synchronized void run () {
      synchronized (System.out) {
        for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
          System.out.println(name+":"+i);
          try {
            Thread.sleep(delay);
          } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
            iex.printStackTrace();
class ASynch implements Runnable {
    public synchronized void run () {
      for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
        System.out.println(name+":"+i);
        try {
          Thread.sleep(delay);
        } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
          iex.printStackTrace();
public static void main (String[] args) {
    try {
      Thread threadA = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("A", 40, false));
      Thread threadB = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("B", 20, false));
      System.out.println("asynchronous threads");
      threadA.start();
      threadB.start();
      threadA.join();
      threadB.join();
      System.out.println("synchronized threads");
      Thread threadC = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("C", 40, true));
      Thread threadD = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("D", 30, true));
      threadC.start();
      threadD.start();
      threadC.join();
      threadD.join();
      System.out.println("Done");
    } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
      iex.printStackTrace();
}With asynchronous threads A and B, the output is all mixed up. With synchronized threads the ordering of the output is maintained. Note that the guard has to encompass all of the code that generates the output; simply synchronizing the println invocations wouldn't prevent the mixing.

I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.

I am in PA, but close to Delaware, which is tax-free shopping.
Thanks!

You would have to web-order directly from Apple. Retail stores and resellers usually do not stock refurbs. All the Macs in our family that are in current use are refurbs and have provided excellent service. None have arrived with any cosmetic defects.

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

I really like this drive, it reads/writes DVD's and CD's just fine on my mac and on my PC aswell also it has only 1 USB so it will only take up one of your 4 USB's
