Whats the difference in install types as far as HDD space? (LEOPARD)

Does an "Upgrade" take up much more space on the HD than an "Archive and Install"? Does any body know how many GBs each one takes? And if I was to do a total format then "install" how much less space would that take?
Thanks for your information guys!

An Archive and Install takes up the most disk space (because it archives items rather than replacing them). An Erase & Install takes up the least space, but migrating items from a backed up copy of the old drive afterwards (required if you don't want to lose everything!) will use a variable amount of space, depending on what you migrate from the old to the new drive. An Upgrade install is somewhere in the middle, more than an Erase & Install without migrating anything but smaller than an Archive and Install.
The actual number of GB involved depends on what install options you choose (like opting to install various printer & language support packages), the type of install (Update, A&I, etc.) & the hardware (PPC or Intel Mac), but plan on no less than about 4 GB, plus whatever temporary scratch space the installer will use during the install process.
Additionally, you should try to keep around no less than 10% of the drive's capacity free for use by the OS for its own temporary files & file system housekeeping chores once the install is complete. Some of this space will be reused from the old install if doing an Upgrade or A&I, but not from an E&I.
As you can see, there is no one definitive answer.

  • Whats the difference between the Canvas types?

    When i start the layout wizard and i choose to make a new carvas, there are several types of canvas available:
    Content, Stacked, Vertical toolbar, Horizontal toolbar, Tab
    What is the difference between these types? I have tried making different types, but they all seem the same to me.
    Cheers.

    The content canvas (the default) occupies the entire Forms window it is assigned to, and is the primary canvas where data is displayed in your form.
    A stacked canvas can be used to pop-up information temporarily, in front of the content canvas. You usually display a stacked canvas based on a button press or some other activity by the user. At some point it is dismissed, so the user can again see all of the content canvas. Stacked canvases can also be used for special situations, such as hiding and displaying a scrollbar.
    A tabbed canvas is much like a content canvas, but it has multiple pages, and each page is accessed by clicking on the tab associated with that page. It is like a stacked canvas, in that it sits on top of a content canvas, but it usually remains visible all of the time.
    The toolbar canvases are simply that -- canvases that hold the toolbar with action icons for the form.

  • What is the difference between Condition Type PB00 and PBXX

    Hallow all,
    Can anybody please explain, What is the Difference between Condition type PB00 and PBXX in Materials Management Pricing?
    And also please explain control or Application of both on Price determination ??
    Thanks in Advance !!!!!

    Hi,
    PB00 condition type is used for automatic pricing in PO
    PBXX condition type is used for manual pricing in PO
    In Pricing  access sequence  play a vital role . If you need pricing automatic in the PO, you have use of Access Sequences and Schema Group of Vendor.You can see the difference in both standard condition type PB00 and PBXX, where as PB00 is assigned to Access sequence(0002)but in case of PBXX no access sequense assigned.

  • What are the differences in file types?

    what are the differences in file types?    HOW DO i CONVERT TXT TO A FILE TYPE THAT PLAYS MUSIC/VIDEO?

    Every file on a computer is ultimately just a big collection of zeros and ones. Files with the .txt extension typically contain just text. If opened with a suitable program such as Notepad the text will be readable. Try to push the same file into a different application and you may get nonsense or crash the software. Well written software will attempt to validate the internal structure of the file it is given and reject anything it doesn't know how to handle. There are multiple audio file formats. Transcoding an audio file from one audio format to another is possible. Changing a text file into audio isn't possible unless it wasn't really a text file in the first place.

  • What is the difference between message type and element

    hi,
    When we create a new variable in BPEL we get the option to create 'simple', 'message type', 'element'
    I would like to know what is the difference between message type and element.
    thanks
    Yatan

    A message is part of the service and is usually assigned to one of the operations in the wsdl. For example getPhoneNumer() operation may have an input message of personInput and output of phoneNum. These messages would have a type...maybe of string or decimal or a complex type with multiple values.
    An element is typically a complex type that could be defined in an xsd file.
    When you create a variable in the bpel, you can declare it as a message or a simple type or an element. As I understand it, the simple types are pre-defined in the schema namespace such as string, decimal, date, etc.
    The elements are defined in the xsd files or wsdls and can be a combination of strings, dates, etc or other stuff as well.
    The messages are defined in the wsdl as part of the input/output but they are typically assigned a type just like other variables you create.

  • Would you please summarize what the difference between tc and alv?

    hi, experts,
      would you please summarize what the difference between table control and alv base on the function and usage practice.
    for example, as i know:
    1.edit
      tc: can edit in the same screen and save.
      alv: pop up a sub screen to let user edit, so this is unconvenient.
    2.functional button
      alv: can have many functional button as default ,eg. sort, summary and so on
      tc:  developers must implements by himself.
    3.color
      alv: can have and change color
      tc:  cann't changed color
    some client may required the data displayed in alv and edit in tc ,such as example BCALV_EDIT_02.
    above are my idea, experts, would you give me some comments on my opinion and summarize what the difference between those two components? i should make it clear in order to consult the UI with my client.hunger for your advice, thanks!

    ALV Grid is basically used for display puropse. It is more user friendly. There are arious features ( such as coloring, sorting, saving to a local file, sedning by mail etc. ) These featurs make ALV Grid a very good option to display the data .
    However , the table control is not only used to display data take from the database table, but also you can do operation such as deletion of data from database table, insertion of data into the database table and updation also. Yeah it has not got the various features whihc ALV has.
    So table control and ALV Grid , if you are just using for display purpose, then ALV Grid is a better option due to its layout and attractive features. But if you want to do the database operations other than display, table control can be used.
    As far as execution is concerned, I think ALV Grid is faster.
    ALV grid control is faster when compared to Table control. But the comaprision is Negligible .
    One of the major differences comes in taking of line items - ALV has an advantage over Table Control when it comes to update database from it.Table control only allows maximum of 999 records at a time where as this limitation is not there in ALV.
    Also,a main feature of ALV Grid is that it contains a standard set of functions. These functions extend beyond the functions of a table control.
    These two UI elements require different keyboard navigation, with ALV Grid being more user-friendly.
    An application can display table data in ALV Grid or in a table control. In some applications you can choose between displaying and editing data in either ALV Grid or a table control. If a configurable button () appears in the right upper corner of the table, it is a table control.
    Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
    ALV is Application List viewer:-
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    TABLE CONTROL:-
    ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.

  • What the difference and use between   of  TABLES and SY-REPID?

    Hi,
    Experts,
    I have came accross 2 cases that i can't able understand
    EX1:
    TABLES: VBAP   -
    >( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP but, by 
    data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to DDIC VBAP table VBELN field then what the using declaring tables. )
    ( and ) 
    DATA: VBAP TYPE VBAP -->( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    but,double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to user declared VBAP
                                                  i.e., above DATA declaration statement )
    Then Which one is better in Functionality wise as well as Performance wise or when we have to go for TABLES and when we have to go for DATA declaration of DDIC objects.
    EX2:
    what the difference between
    I know that SY_REPID is not a system variable. And also that
    Data: vrepid type SY_REPID.--> Predefined data type in ABAP
    and
    Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.-> Predefined Constatnt in ABAP( it is a constant it allowing with out VALUE                                                                               
    attribute)
    what difference between them and when we have to go Data: vrepid type SY_REPID and when we have to go Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.
    Thank U,
    Shabeer Ahmed.

    Hi Ahmed,
    TABLES:
      VBAP.   " DDIC
    DATA:
      v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    *Here you are using the DDIC VBAP
    DATA:
      VBAP TYPE VBAP.
    DATA:
      vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    *Here you are using the local data object as your data type so it will always
    * take you to user declared VBAP which is declared by you.
    DATA:
      T_VBAP TYPE VBAP.
    DATA:
      vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    * here its using T_VBAP not DDIC VBAP
    And for performance always the second option is better, use Data instead of tables, declare your own local structure.
    Data:
      vrepid type SY_REPID.  thereis nop redefined data type in ABAP as SY_REPID
    * its SY-REPID which is a system variable.
    Data:
      vrepid type SY-REPID.

  • Whats the difference (Generic Master Data Source vs Transaction Data Sce)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have been wondering on whats the difference when creating <b>GENERIC Data Sources:</b>
    1.) Transaction Data
    2.) Master Data
    Pls. dont give an answer like (<i>A Master Data Generic Data Source is used to populate Master Data Info Objects and Transaction data Sources are used to populate ODS and CUBES.</i>)
    This definition is <b>FALSE</b> since I can use a <b>"Master Data (Data Source)"</b> to populate my ODS.
    They only differ in Process Chain since the Action when loading data using <i>Generic Masterdata Data Source</i> is <b>Attribute Change Run</b>. Unlike when loading ODS using Transaction Data Source will use "<b>Activate ODS Data</b>".
    Hope Somebody will clarify this...
    --Jkyle

    Hi Jkyle,
    at the moment I think it is more or less a grouping information in BW and additionally a information for you, your users, ... what type of data is being loaded thru the datasource.
    With grouping I mean just a type of information used for the list that opens if you'll assign a datasource to a infosource.
    With type of data I mean some sort of classification of the data for a special application. I can imagine, that the same data can be used as transactional data as well as as master data depending on the application. A good example for this can be the header data. For some applications you have header (transactional) datasources providing a header counter and additonally you have the document number (basically the header information) with some attributes as master data.
    May be there is a difference in the function modules that are called to extract the data, I am not sure about this.
    Hope this help a bit.
    regards

  • 8mb cache drives, whats the difference between brands?

    hello,
    whats the difference between maxtor, western digital and seagate(if they have 8mb cache), when it comes to the 8mb cache drives.  i know all these are good brands and basically equal.  western digital were the first right?  but in terms of noise, seeking time, heat and all.......whats the best buy?
    thanks,
    edison

    All 8MB cache HDD existing now are excellent. The maxtor is slightly more recent than the WD, boasting 80GB platters against 60GB platters for the WD (hence higher density and theoritically higher transfer speed).
    In the benchs, the drives are roughly equivalent (passing each other depending on the tests). Any way, no application are pushing those as far as i know.
    So, choose any. WD has already a very good track record for reliability, maxtor have been leaps and bonds in this regards (read not always good, depends on model, but lately pretty good).
    Your call. You cant go wrong with any.

  • Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

    Aren't they both used for designing applications?
    And do one really need Essbase Studio?

    Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio ^^^It is a bit confusing, isn't it? As far as I understand EPMA's role, it's a way to share common dimensions and data across multiple Oracle EPM products including Essbase, Planning, and HFM. I actually don't know if other products live in EPMA. What EPMA does not have is a nice way of sourcing or manipulating dimension and fact tables (or even files). Oh, there are interface tables, but you will write code/use the EPMA dimension utility to load dimensions. I have to say I've never tried to load data through EPMA so someone else is going to have to comment on that. Once dimensions are built, you can deploy Essbase (and other products) from common and database-specific dimensions.
    Studio is the tool you would use to go against a data warehouse, or something awfully close to a data warehouse to build Essbase databases. It's for Essbase only -- Planning, HFM, etc. are not the targets of Studio's output.
    What gets confusing/intriguing is that when EPMA deploys Essbase apps, it uses Studio under the covers to do so. Thus the interesting implementations where people use Studio (which is way more flexible than EPMA because it is a development tool as opposed to a dimension/data management app) to read the EPMA interface tables (and for all I know, the base EPMA tables) and build Essbase apps that way.
    If you think there is overlap, I would agree with you, but you can see they really aren't the same.
    And do one really need Essbase Studio?^^^You don't have to use Studio to build Essbase databases. You can go hog-wild in EAS with SQL load rules if you want, although at some point it probably will be easier/more straightforward to build it in Studio. Although Studio has been mentioned as the replacement for EAS for some time, I suspect the effort required to build a database in Studio will keep EAS around for quite a while or Studio Lite will have to come out. There's a lot to be said (sometimes) for the amazing flexibility EAS/Essbase have -- Studio requires a more methodical approach and EPMA has a very formal set of standards and methods.
    Whew, I'm sorry, I wrote a book about this and I'll bet you get a bunch of differing opinions on this.
    If you're interested in Studio, you might do well to pick up a copy of Glenn Schwartzberg's "Look Smarter Than You Are with Oracle Essbase Studio 11". I receive not a penny from its sale although I was one of the copy editors (hey, I got a mention in the acknowledgements). It's a good book and an excellent introduction to the tool.

  • Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and
    arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    In arrayCollection = null; statement you're setting this
    reference to null and potentially making it available for garbage
    collection. I say 'this reference' and potentially because, as you
    may know, there might be other references to this array collection
    object that won't be affected by this statement and hence it won't
    be GC'ed.
    arrayCollection.removeAll() says that I want to empty this
    array collection for all the reference that we pointing to it. That
    is, remove all the objects from the collection -- and of course
    make them 'potentially' available for the GC -- the size of the
    array collection would be reduced down to zero and all the
    references would be pointing to a valid but empty collection.
    Hope this helps.

  • Whats the difference between list and lov ?

    Whats the difference between list and lov ?
    i can do the same things with a list what an lov can do .
    infact a list is more better. cause the list doesnt hold/show a range of values, and only has the items value iteself.
    while the lov can get all the values of items depending on the query.
    like
    select ename, job, sal from emp
    will show all the three items values in lov?

    Also, if you're looking in the US store, the prices are:
    - Airport Express (small, no ac) $99 - Has audio out for speaker connection using Airplay. Can share a USB printer only.
    - Airport Extreme (larger, ac) $199 - No audio out, can share a USB printer or hard drive.
    - Time Capsules (2TB, 3TB at $299, $399) - have ac wireless and a backup hard drive for Time Machine which the other Airports do not have.
