Which infrastructure are you using and why?

Dear Portal Experts,
I would be most interested in learning which tools portal developers are using in their daily work. I have therefore started a survey at the Collaboration Workspace (actually a discussion - 'survey' was not available).
I would be happy if the readers of this forum could also participate to collect this information.
Thanks a lot,
Björn

Still kinda debating on the two. I have the 8GB 3G right now and don't fill it up a lot.. but I also have another MP3 player that i keep my music on and don't take a ton of pictures. But I know with the better camera and video recording, I will be using it a lot. I am pre ordering tomorrow, but still undecided. Just don't know that I want to spend an extra $100. I can always transfer my pictures to my computer (or website) if I needed to. Just keep the ones I really want. Videos I will probably keep on my computer for sure. Guess I will go with the 16GB. Still leaves me room for songs (I like to keep around 200 at a time for a variety at work), pictures, apps, and some video.

Limit Preview Size. Which setting are you using?

I'm not exactly sure how the Limit Preview Size preference affects my workflow. Which setting are you using, and why?
My preference is currently set to the v2.0 default 1/2 Size. My iMac's resolution is 1680x1050, and I'm using the Canon EOS 1D Mark III taking full size RAW images at 3888x2592.
regards,
Gregory

Gregory,
I use the default (which is 1/2 size) with no ill effects. Previews are used by external programs to gain access to photos in your Aperture library. (This is not the way your external editor works, though.) Your preview size will not affect your workflow. When previews are turned on, Aperture works on generating previews when you have something new of which to make a preview. I seriously doubt that making a small copy, versus making a smaller copy, would affect how long it takes Aperture (and therefore, how sluggish Aperture might appear.) The difference between making previews and not making previews can be significant.

What power supply attachement do you use and why?

Hey All! im curious i use to use the AC wall plug that came with the magsafe charger but recently started using the power cord for more length. I started using it since im home most of the time and the outlets are pretty far from the sitting arrangements. So what do you use and why?
Thanks!

I use the longer one all the time, as I usually end up aways away from a plug, and its easier to fit into an outlet or power strip that is already overburdened with warts.
I don't understand why one cord is grounded, and the other is not. The brick clearly doesn't need grounding, so why is the longer cord grounded? Is it some sort of weird law?
When travelling, I ALWAYS throw the little short flip-out plug in though, just in case I am in some archiac building that has not been updated with 3-prong grounded wiring. I also heard that in Canada, most or all of the plugs are two-prong only.

Which tools are you using?

which tool are you using for modelling oracle objects?

thanks, but is it possible to create (to the databse) both attributes and methods of oracle objects with sybase power designer or just attributes as a table?

Query as Web Services!!! What are its uses and why do we need it?

What are its uses and why do we need it.. if other tools like Dashboard and crystal reports and Webi can connect to universe and create reports and Analytics...

Hello Rajsan Madhavarajan
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS) is a SAP Business Objects (BOBJ) client-side tool that allows users to create and publish Web Services that can be made available over the Web. Once these web services are created and published, they can be consumed like any other standard Web Service in software applications including Xcelsius and Crystal Reports. But first we have to understand what exactly is a Web Service.
Web Service
A Web Service is a software system that supports interoperable interaction over a network from one computer or machine to another but is more commonly defined as a client and a server communicating data over the Web using the HTTP Protocol. Using Web Services along with Business Objects allows a live connection of data to be used in applications such as Xcelsius and Crystal Reports through a semantic layer called a Universe.
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS)
The two main components in QaaWS are the Client Tool and the Server. The QaaWS Client Tool gives the end user an easy to use wizard that allows them to create Universe queries and publish them as Web Services. Once the QaaWS is published, any user can securely access the data that the Web Service contains as long as they have access to that server. Have a look on image below that shows the information flow to and from the server via the client.
Advantages to QaaWS:
Very easy to use and intuitive interface Familiar look and feel for people who have used Web Intelligence
Leverages existing Business Objects Universes Shares metadata with Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence and Crystal Reports
Maintains Business Objects Enterprise Security
Allows live data feeds to be incorporated into Xcelsius Dashboards and Crystal Reports

Bootcamp or Paralles - what do you use and why?

What program do you use and why?

I use both.
Boot Camp provides to full power of your MBP and for many, most importantly it has direct graphics support where Parallels does not. My MBP has replaced my Dell PC and this is now my "full time" PC as well as my travel/TV watching Mac.
Parallels on the other hand has the advantage of being a very quick and simple solution for those that predominantly use Mac OS X who additionally require sporadic use or lower performance applications in Windows.
Now that Parallels now allows you to utilise your Boot Camp partition, resulting in only a single Windows license, partition and disk usage I think many will find benefit from using both depending on the momentary need.

I had a similar experience with mac e-mail where apparently someones ICLOUD id for their Iphone was created with an Alias I had @mac.com for years. Originally thought the mail was phishing and deleted without opening - then received forwarded mail from the other persons non-apple account - so gave feedback through mail to apple and also sent an email to the other persons non-apple account from a non-apple account telling them I was getting their mail because it was my alias.
That person did get apple to untangle the accounts so I did have to reset my password once it was done.
So one option would be to contact apple support to get them to find out what is going on with your account.
E-mail contact of the other person was easy once I had a legit account to send to -- don't know how you would contact the other person in notes.

Which www daemon do you use, and why?

I currently use apache, but have been looking into lighttpd lately. I have read some very good things about its performance.
What www daemon do you use?
Why do you use it?

I'm not a httpd guru (read: I don't need any special features), but as for now I use lighttpd as my small web server. It's pretty simple, yet robust. Configuration is a breeze, everything's in one place, documentation covers all the important things in a nice manner. Moreover, benchmarks show it to be more efficient than apache, although it doesn't concern me that much ;-)
Apache is obviously a good piece of software, but with robustness comes the complicity. Like not even being sure what's the compress module for apache2 (*points at cactus*) ;-)
I've tried lighttpd solely for fun and, well, managed to set up some things I wouldn't even bother to set with apache (i.e. I wouldn't bother to browse all those modules docs, seeking the right thing).

SharePoint Databases - How to determine which ones are being used and which ones aren't

I am not sure where to exactly post this question. On the SQL Server side or on a SharePoint side.
I am a SQL Server Database Administrator who is monitoring some SharePoint databases. On a daily basis it seems that they are creating new databases but don't delete the databases that they are no longer using. For example, they might be testing
on a development server and if things aren't working properly instead of asking that the databases be deleted they just go ahead and create new databases to do what ever they need to do. Is there a way on the SQL Server side to determine which SharePoint
databases are being used and which ones aren't being used? Or does one determine this information through the SharePoint Central Administration console?
lcerni

Hello,
The following query gives you the databases now in use.
SELECT
DISTINCT d.name
FROM
sys.dm_tran_locks
tl INNER
JOIN sys.databases
d
ON
tl.resource_database_id
= d.database_id
Hope this helps.

MIDI CONTROLLERS WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOSE AND WHY?

Between M-Audio 8v2 , M-Audio 02 , M-AUDIO 49E and M-Audio axiom 25. Which one of these would you choose and why?

The Axiom 25.
For the rotary encoders, pads and memory.
I'd take this over the 49 because both of the keyboards will be pitiful and your better of getting a full size board with hammer action if its about the "piano" feel. These things are great to have at hand when fiddling with synths while setting up in logic.

Which CC do you prefer and why?

Choices are:
Built-in CC effects of PR
SpeedGrade
RedGiants Magic Bullet
Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse (requires QT)
Given the 4 options shown above, what are your preferences and why? I know this is a broad question, but I would be interested to hear your opinions.

Hmm. I am not sure how to answer. Back when I used CS3 I used Magic Bullet and I had no direct experience with the others at that time.
Magic Bullet is easier to use, in my opinion, but that is not always going to make it the right choice.

Which browser are you using? I've noticed in maintaining the NSNX car threads that Firefox is nearly useless, Safari works decent, and Chrome works pretty well.

I created a Google Maps, map for keeping a railroad database for interesting locations. However I did use and continue to use IE for this and Email only, Firefox is my go to workhorse browser. It appears as though some forum members are having problems using the Personalized maps created in Google maps using Firefox. One of the members continually lost data unless he saved after each and every entry.

RFC and Webservice which one i should use and why?

Hi,
I have to write a extractor program in BI which would be fetching a huge data from CRM.
I have two options to achieve this targer.
1-> Create a RFC which will give me all the data
2-> Create a Webservice in CRM and use it in BI
Please advice me , which way i should go and advantage of that way.
Regards
PG

Hi,
If amount of data is huge then it is recomnded to use RFC because of its speed and reliability. Webservice not yet proven good for extracting and handling very large chunk of data.

I'm an architect looking forward to purchasing a new Mac. Which model do you recommend and why?

I currently own a MacBook Pro 13 inch model (late-2011)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
I'm an architecture student in my last semester, looking forward to buying a desktop Mac (for current and future use as a professional).
Sadly, for us architects we are limited with some mayor Architecture Programs such as 3Ds Max & Revit (both of which I use frecuently and have to use in a PC )
I have tried runing them in Parallels (in my MacBook Pro), but the result is slow and sluggish... so I plan on purchasing a new desktop computer as I believe these have more capacity to run this programs.
I would like to avoid using Boot Camp (hate having to restart the computer frequently) so if a Mac with be it Parallels/VMWare Fusion/CrossOver can do the job EFFICENTLY I would be happy.
So, which Mac model do you recommend for this case?
I'm undecided and would like some advice from you guys.
I'm not so limited on budget, but of course low cost would be appreciated.
If you could give some specific specs as RAM, Processor model, etc. that would help me more.
Im guessing the Power Mac is the best one...but just checking other opinions and answers.
THANKS!

Why not if you are going to run Windows pick up a PC with what you need?
The new mac pro 2013 won't be out for couple months and figure more time for software, even Fusion etc to catch up.
A VM is never going to be the same as running directly on the hardware natively.
The new Mac Pro though should be able to handle what you throw at it but even support for Windows could take time.
And looking at a new Mac operating system 10.9 Maverick. Windows 8.1 in same time frame.
If you do use a VM, install Windows natively to begin with and then attach the VM to point to it. There are times you need or want to run or apply updates natively.
The Mac has never had support for multiple high end graphic cards, no support for SLI and CrossFire-X, no 8-pin power connectors, if your software needs.
Mac Pro 2013 product page - new design and up to 12-cores and FirePro (2) GPU if you want to burn a pile of $$s.
