Where can I find information regarding end of life or product lifecycle of Lenovo products

The psrefs files are chockful of great information, however,  as an IT Manager, I need to be able to anticipate when models will be available for purchase, and when not.  We use the Image Ultra Builder extensively to deploy or replace 5-600 laptops/ldesktops annually. If a particular model is no longer available, I have to not only forecast when I can order a certain model, but also allow a ramp-up time when I have to order a new model, build a new IUB, test it, before we introduce in the production environment. Thank you, in advance, for your help!

  • Where Can I Find a Complete Reference for ASA 5505 Product IDs?

    I've spent way too much time exploring the Internet looking for a definitive reference to pin down and completely explain all of the Cisco product ID mumbo jumbo . . . specifically for the ASA 5505 security device.  In general I'd like to have this information for all things Cisco.  It is driving me crazy not to know this information IN TOTAL.  Yes, there's bits and pieces out there, but no offical guide or reference that details everything.  This is what I want to see. 
    For example:  for the ASA5505 there's . . . ASA5505-50-BUN-K9, ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9, ASA5505-UL-BUN-K9, etc.
    What is the "BUN", "K9", "SEC", etc.  Not just what does it stand for (we can deduce that), but where did this come from and how can I quickly reference a new acronym which may show up in completely differnce Cisco device.  Also, specifically for the ASA 5500 line, I want to see a COMPLETE list of ALL of these IDs and want a legend to reference each part.  This is critical in my opinion for a project manager to make an informed decision about hardware.  Cisco documentation is grossly lacking for this (or at least I'm unable to find it).  The closest I've come was to discovery this whole notion of the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) which is the Cisco' product identification standard for labeling hardware products. 
    This is explained some here . . .
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_identification_standard.html
    It's a good start but, it only creates more questions.  Where can I find ALL the PIDs and what does each acronym stands for?  What about the VIDs? . . . Where is a list of these what does each section mean?.  Why in the world is there no single source where all of this is pinned down.  With all of the mind-numbing Cisco documentation out there loaded with cryptic details about things many of us will never care to know . . . why not put out this much needed, practical reference of Product IDs which would have a wide appeal and could be useful to everyone from product specialist to system engineers?  It would make researching Cisco solutions to new projects exponentially less painful to know very quickly exactly what we're looking at when we encounter all of this product "code."
    Am I the only one who feels this way?  I'm thinking not.  What say you?  Am I missing something?
    LT

    There is no such published reference guide. The closest thing would be the global price list but it's generally not distributed. (What Jouni mentioned was probably an extract of that very large document.)
    Due to the broad range of products (and associated bundles and services), Cisco uses online configuration and ordering tools (Cisco Commerce Workspace or CCW) internally and with its partners. The information in it is very dynamic and can change day to day as the tens of thousands of products Cisco offers are introduced, deprecated (i.e., Approaching or at End of Sales), offered in different promotional bundles, etc.
    When a Cisco salesperson or partner solution advisor talks with a customer, they take the customer's input and build equipment, software and services configuration sets supporting the proposal. CCW will validate the required items are ordered and generate a configuration set that has not only the product IDs (PIDs, generally referred to as SKUs or Stock Keeping Units in this context) but also the plain language descriptions of what each PID means.
    They should be conveying that information to you (or any customer they are engaged with) to enable you to make the informed decision you mention.

  • Where can I find information about using the Mozilla Help web pages?

    Such as tips to make searching the help pages faster like adding symbols + or - or " which some internet search systems use.
    There is simply too much information offered for me ( a neurologically disabled person - specifically with working memory difficulties [dyslexia, dyspraxia/DCD] ) and all one can do is write yet another new question - which will probably be a repeat of what has been asked before in a different way and increase the already existing mass of information for the next enquirer to 'wade; through!

  • Where Can I Find Information on the Mac OS Filters

    There are a number of Filters available in STP, which are also available to virtually every other application that processes audio on the Mac. However, I have not been able to find any documentation for the Mac OS filters. Is there a document that outlines the settings and usage of these filters?
    I ask because I record live band performances for local bands. Generally, the vocal tracks for a singers are in tune, but occasionally, the vocal pitch will waiver just slightly off note; not enough to notice live, but can easily be heard when reviewed on the Mac later. As I don't have the option to re-record the arrant vocal, I was hoping that I could correct small variations of pitch in post, so that the CDs produced from the performances would sound the best they can.
    I thought the Mac OS>Pitch filter may do what I want, but I can not find any documentation on how to use it (or any Mac OS filter for that matter). Using the defaults does not seem to do anything... good or bad.
    I know this has to be a run of the mill problem, as N0 vocalist is perfect, so the solution to this has to be obvious to anyone who mixes bands for a living, but this is my first attempt as sweeting up the vocal pitches - I am the guy with the gear, so I get the job.
    Any suggestions on what filter(s) I could use to fix pitch drift, and where I might be able to find documentation on all the Mac OS audio filters would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again.
    Kind of what I figured. I was hoping there would be a way to automatically correct slight pitch aberrations. But it looks like it has to be a manual process and dependent on my ear.
    BTW - yes the vocals are on discreet tracks.
    I was looking at apps like ReaTune and Gsnap, but they seem to be PC centric, so not of any use to me.
    Do you have a recommendation of which of AUPitch or Pitch Shifter II will give better results, or in what conditions one would be better than the other?
    Thanks

  • Where can I find information about official support being ended bij Apple concerning 10.6.8?

    Yes I am aware the policy somewhere stipulated n-2 or the 2 latest version of current OSX...
    Yet I like to know if a official date is mentioned for those still running 10.6.8 when it comes to security updates etc.

    Apple doesn't announce when they will stop supporting a operating system version, we sort of figure it out ourselves by the lack of security updates.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
    For instance 10.6 didn't get Safari 6 with it's slew of security fixes, so it's time to no longer use Safari, but another browser that does provide timely updates.
    If you been following the news about Flashback botnet and 600,000 compromised Mac's, with nearly 300 in CupertinoHQ itself, then you will know it was caused by Apple not providing security updates for 10.5 and later since 10.7 was released, slow to update Java on 10.5 and later for all OS X versions.
    Apple finally dragged 10.5 (Intel) out of mothballs and provided a update for it in May, also is now updating Java on a timely basis. In fact 10.5 Intel, 10.6, 10.7 will disable Java if it's not used after awhile. Only because of the Flashback botnet, closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped.
    Apple again seems to be repeating it's same mistake with Java again with Safari 6, not providing updates for older OS X users.
    In fact Google was severly hacked once and since they tend to use all Mac's... I wonder...
    OS X security is good, it's just Apple's management/corporate policy is screwed up really bad, like they are asleep at the wheel or doing dope or something, leaving stuff unpatched.
    If programmers can't fix issues they know they need to fix, then what can they do right? They have to earn a living and feed their kids.
    Apple needs to support all their OS X verisons in major circulation, the death of hardware will do the natural turnover thing, there is no need to deny security updates for machines currently in circulation, especially 10.6 which is over 50% right now.
    But Apple never listens because they are morons sometimes.

  • Where can I find information about creative/artistic software for my Mac?

    I write (mostly children's plays) so I need to find out exactly what kinds of software are available to me for scripts, film, published material, etc. I am planning to rewrite a script which has been produced on stage several times into an animated film if I can learn how.  I need some software to help me with this project.
    I also want software with various capabilities for needlework, quilting, crochet, sewing, pattern design, etc.
    For years I have seen artists and craftspersons on tv demonstrating work they have designed on their own computers and then transferred to an art medium and though I have looked, I am evidently not checking in the right places to find said software.
    Any help, suggestions or websites you give will certainly be appreciated.
    Thanks

    For writing you can use anything, but for the most bang for no money, I suggest the free LibreOffice suit.
    It has word processing, spreadsheet, drawing and much more, all free. It's cross platform so anyone who downloads the free software can read it your files. Mac, PC or Linux, doesn't matter.

    Well depends upon what sort of animation, 3D animation is very complex and requires a powerful machine and even racks of machines to do the final rendering.
    2D simple animation I don't know of anything off hand, I'm guessing you need something that you can make changes in the frames and play it over and over until you get the desired result, moving things around and creating your story line. etc.
    You'll need music and sound creation tools to create your clips, iMovie/GarageBand can likely help bring those two together, but doesn't do the animation, you need something else for that.
    itzamirakul wrote:

    Ok your likely looking at the Adobe Creative Suite, with Photoshop, Illustrator and perhaps even InDesign for laying out any printed material like manuals and booklets.
    Illustrator has exteremly fine controls of detailed artwork, create patterns that you can duplicate and so forth.

    Well like any artist they use the computer to assist them to get their artwork done, but then need to use various manual techniques and sometimes very expensive machines you never see to transfer that medium to their end product.
    Computers can't do everything, they are tools that can perform certain functions, it takes the human and training to transfer that to a finished piece.
    A education in the graphics art field may assist you there, reading how to go about achieving your goals and see how a computer can help or not help.
    You can check over at Cnet.com or MacUpdate.com for creative Mac software, lots ot choose from.

  • Where can I find information about exceptions and errors?

    I'm new to Java and sometimes run into errors that I don't understand. Is there a list of common errors somewhere that I could look at to at least get a general idea of what's causing my problem?
    for instance:
    I'm writing a little program where the user inputs a number and depending on their input a message is displayed.

    The Java API documentation is the first place to look. Each exception or error is a class. For instance, information on java.lang.NullPointerException is in the API for the java.lang package, toward the bottom.
    For more than that, just search the internet for the name of the exception/error.

  • Where can I find information on the database_upgrade package?

    I had an issue with a package that wouldn't compile in an upgraded (10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.3) database, it gave out "ORA-01031: Insufficient Privileges".
    A consultant used "exec database_upgrade.grantaccess('SCHEMA','OBJECT');" which created all the necessary grants and fixed it.
    I've tried to find the documentation on this package, but it doesn't exist (a google and bing search shows nothing, and it's not in the Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference manual online, and MOS has nothing).
    I can do a desc on it, but I'd really like to know more about it as I'm about to upgrade several databases over the next few months.
    Does anyone know where I can find info on it?

    I have not heard of this package either - if it is not documented, there must be good reasons for doing so. Pl open an SR with Support.
    What was the issue you ran into - what was special about your package that did not compile ? You should not run such undocumented code to fix things.

  • Where can I find information on migrating from Business Objects 5 to XI R2?

    We want to migrate several Business Objects implementations - some of which are Business Objects 5 and some Business Objects 6 to consolidate them into a XI R2 environment.
    I have the document that describes migration from 6.x to XI R2 but what is the process for migrating from Business Objects 5. Do I need to migrate from 5 to 6 and then follow the 6.x to XI R2 migration?
    Any pointers to additional hints and tips on migration or how to estimate how much effort is involved would also be welcome.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Following are the detailed steps for migration via Import Wizard:
    1] Go to Start > Programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Import Wizard.
    2] The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
    Setting source and destination environments:
    3] In the Specify source environment dialog box, set the following:
    u2022 Source: Business Objects Enterprise BO 6.5.x.
    u2022User Name:
    u2022 Password: visor
    BOMain key
    Note: Do not check the Import Application Foundation contents option since you are not performing Performance Management migration at this time.
    Click Next.
    4] The Warning page appears. Click Next.
    Note: The source repository can store any file, not just supported agnostic documents. Since the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 architecture requires a plug-in for each file extension, it does not import unsupported files (for example, .zip files and as .svg documents used in corporate dashboards).
    5] The Specify destination environment page appears. Set the:
    u2022 Destination: Business Objects Enterprise BOXI R2
    u2022 User Name:
    u2022 Password:
    u2022 Domain key file to: Default drive: \Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
    Click Next.
    6] Select the types of objects you want to import in this stage of the importing process. At a later stage, you select the objects themselves.
    u2022 Select the option u2018Import universes u2018.
    Click Next.
    7] Import options for universes and connections dialog box appears.
    Select the third option: Import all the universes and connections that the selected Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence documents use directly.
    8] The Please choose a merge scenario dialog box appears. Select I want to merge the source system to destination system and check the automatically rename top-level folders that match top-level folder on the destination system option.
    Click Next.
    9] The Incremental Import dialog box appears.
    You may need to import some objects more than once from the source repository to the destination repository.
    In this situation, you have the following update options:
    u2022 Overwrite object contents
    You select the types of objects for which the content overwrite applies:
    u2022 Documents (including dashboards and analytics)
    u2022 Universes
    u2022 Connections
    When you re-import an object, it will completely overwrite and replace the matching object (and its associated files) that you imported earlier.
    u2022 Overwrite object rights
    When you re-import an object, its associated security rights will overwrite the rights of the matching object you imported earlier.
    If you decided not to import security in the Security Migration Options dialog box, then the Overwrite object rights option is not relevant, and is therefore not available.
    If you don't select any overwrite options, the matching object in the destination repository will not change when you try to import it again.
    Note: This dialog box appears only if you select update as the import scenario.
    Click Next.
    10] Select the specific universe
    Click Next
    11] Information Collection complete dialog box appears.
    Click Finish
    12] Import Progress dialog box appears.
    Click Done
    Hope this helps !!
    Please revert in case of any queries.
    Regards,

  • Where can I find information to create this effect in AE and Ps

    http://www.worshiphousekids.com/countdowns/13013/Kids-Ocean-Countdown
    I want to build videos using this technique of paper cut-outs held by string and moving on a stage.  Will you please point me to information or tutorial for this please.  Thank you.  Mark

    You can create this style by simply creating a layered photoshop file with each element on a separate layer. The photoshop file should be slightly larger than your composition to allow movement of the layers without scaling.
    The flapping wings on the birds are easily accomplished by creating plan view's of the wings then moving the anchor point to the root or body end of the wings, making all of the bird parts 3D layers, then positioning and animating the rotation of the wings to make them flap. I'd do this in a pre-comp, then animate the position of the pre-comp.
    There are some basics in the help files. Search for animating position and animating rotation. There are also a bunch of AE tutorials here. Check out the video tutorials / getting started section. There's a great one on Adobe TV on animation basics.
    There aren't any advanced techniques that you'll need to use to duplicate this effect.

  • Where can I find information about internals?

    Can any one recommend a book or somthing, short of learning C, where I can learn Solaris Memory structures and really understand what they mean. For example, I have never really heard a good explanation of LWP.

    I don't know that learning C is useful in and of itself, but knowing how to interpret C structures and some C syntax is very good.
    There's "Solaris Internals" (Mauro and McDougal) which is fantastic, but predates Solaris 8. Very good, but a few things have changed. It is being updated, but the last one took them an extra-long time to finish, so I don't think there's a date yet. I often refer to it for bits and pieces of things.
    A book I particularly like is "UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers" by Uresh Vahalia. (unfortunately it's one of those $70+ books). It college textbook style, so that may not be for everyone. It's not Solaris specific.

  • Where can we find information on date and time for rollback on Oracle 11g ?

    Like to find out which log Oracle writes to in order storing information about rollback that is performed. I have an issue wherein, I believe a rollback has occurred after external reports have been generated... hence, the report no longer has the correct information on the state of the system. However, I need to confirm that this is what happened, as I couldn't explain why transactions that were performed prior to the reports were not on the system, yet it was reported in the transaction report. Thank you.

    You should be able to find some rollback information in redo logs with LogMiner: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17110/dynviews_2035.htm#i1408263.
