Which is better File transfer or EDI transfer

Hi All,
I have a scenario where the the vendor has tto send the post receivable data to our company. Now they say they can either provide us a file or EDI transfer. They have put the ball in our court to decide and tell them how they should be sending data to us.
Now we have to look into pros and cons of using file transfer or EDI.
COuld you please put some lght on which might be better and why?

Hey
do u guys already have the infrastructure to handle EDI? i mean have u installed SeeBurger or some other tool to handle EDI messages? if not then for EDI you need to have some kind of tool until and unless you guys have some ways to handle EDI.
File is kinda simple ,you can simply get XML file via HTTP or the outside party can FTP it to certain location and you can pick it up from there.
if u already have SeeBurger or any other way to handle EDI then you can go for EDI,but File will be a lot simpler in mapping as well as design and configurations and you wont need any extra set up it
thanx

What beta files to keep for transfer to final CS6 program?

I'm assuming the beta has to be uninstalled to install the final program after it ships. If I've done customizations to PS, Bridge, & Camera Raw what do I have to do before uninstalling to transfer my customizations to the final program?

Offhand, I am not sure about ACR and Bridge, but for PS, you should check that you have saved all your presets windows>tool presets>save tool presets.
In the main PS menu, edit>presets>export/import presets you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version.

Re : Inter company stock transfer through EDI

How to do this.

Hi,
continues from here,
Inbound file:     edi_in
Function module:     See text below.
Status file parameters
Directory:     /home/edi/<portname>/
Outbound file:     status.idoc
Function module:     Leave blank if using above
u2022     Both the portname and the exchange directory should be created according to the same naming convention. However, the portname should be in upper case whereas the corresponding directory name should be in lower case (see examples below).
     Portname (upper case):
                         <portname>
     Exchange directory name (lower case):
                         /home/edi/<portname>
     where <portname> consists of:
     EDI<system name><client number><id char>
     <system name> is the name of system on which port exists eg.      F01, PG1 etc.;
     <client number> is name of client on system which will use this      port; and
     <id char> is a single alphabetical character such as u2018au2019,u2019bu2019 etc.      typically,      u2018au2019 will denote dynamic outbound file naming (used      for testing) whereas      u2018bu2019 will denote static outbound file naming.      All ports will use static      inbound filenames.
For example, the name of a port using dynamic file naming on system F01, client 610 would be named EDIF01610A. The exchange directory would be named edif01610a. Similarly, the name of port using static file naming on system PG1, client 600 would be EDIPG1600B. The exchange directory name would be edipg1600b.
Note that the function u201CEDI_PATH_CREATE_USERNAME_DT_TMu201D can be used in the u201CFunction moduleu201D field of the Outbound file parameters if IDocs are to be written to multiple files. In this case, the corresponding outbound filename field should be left blank. The standard IDoc exchange interface between the SAP EDI component and the EDI subsystem uses a single file for each transfer direction. However, should the exchange interface change, or for testing purposes, the function modules for dynamic naming can be used.

Migrating vs manually transfer vs network transfer of files, apps and itunes library

So I've tried searching and going through the forums first before I actually commit to a certain "Method Of Transfer" but could not really find what I'm trying to accomplish. So I hope some of you fellow memebrs could shed some light and advise on a few things.. Let me start by giving a summary of equipment I'm working with and what I'm trying to accomplish.
Recently purchased a new macbook pro 15" 2.4Ghz Intel Core i7 (Most recent macbook on apple's website 3/26/2012)
Prior to purchasing my new macbook I was using a 2004/2005 white 13" macbook Intel core Duo 2Ghz
What I would like to accomplish is transfer most of my applications I've paid for on the older mac to my new one. I would also like to transfer multimedia files from pics, videos and music. The part that confuses me is which ever method I decid to choose will things in my iTunes library remain in tact? Such as, playlist that have been created, syncing my iPhone and maintaning the same playlist. Basically, I would like to keep the same music library and the same playlist I have on my old mac and mirror it on the new mac. Please advise..
The 3 mtehods of tranferrring I have in question are:
1. Migration Assistant
2. Manual Transfer via external Hard Drive
3. Network transfer
4. other?
Is one method better than the other?
Which method will retain the existing settings from my old mac to the new?
Thanks in advance!

Chris CA wrote:
In case others have a similar issue and see this question, what did you do?
Sure thing..
The Method of transfer I decided to do from Old macbook to New macbook pro was "Local Network" transfer via Ethernet and did the following.
iTunes Library transfer:
Prerequisite:Ensure iTunes on the the "source" macbook (older laptop for me) is up to date has been backed up. Export playlist and export library. I also have iTunes set to keep my library orgainzed so I dont have audio, video files in different locations. Everything for me is located in: /user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
Connect both laptops to each other via Ethernet cable
I also disable airport on both devices. (Im not sure you really have to do this but I did it anyway to avoid potential conflicts on my LAN)
On the "source" macbook (older one for me), I enabled sharing the music folder that contains my entire iTunes library (Go to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing > and select the folder that contains the desired media files you want to transfer)
On the "destination" macbook (Newer one for me), you will see the name of the "source" macbook displayed in your finder window.
Once you've reached the above steps, simply open up iTunes on your new macbook go to Files > Add to Libraryand navigate to the shared "source" macbook (located on the left pane) and select the folder that contains the media files. *The transfer process will vary depending on how many files you are trying to transfer.
After the transfer completes go ahead and import the playlist and library so the media info will be up to date in iTunes as well.
You can do the same method of transfer for other files as well. hope this helps!

In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

"Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings." Why?

I saved my files and settings from a previous installation of windows 7 to an external hard drive using windows easy transfer. Now when I try to transfer those files and setting to my new installation I get the following message:
Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings.
The message pops up only a few seconds after the transfer begins.
Why is this?! I need those files and windows has screwed me. Everything is basically the same as before I reinstalled. Same computer, same windows 7 installation just recovered to factory settings. Same system language as before. BTW I'm on a Toshiba L505 laptop
running Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have tried all the usual suspects such as a clean boot and uninstalling my antivirus to rule out third party interference. I have more than enough space on both my computer and on the external hard drive. I have tried only transferring a user account a
few MBs large. I have reinstalled the OS twice just in case something went wrong there. I have clicked on the .MIG file directly. All lead to the same error message.The transfer file seems to be intact and not currupt
Is there another software other than WET that can use the same transfer file that WET created to restore my files? Please help me solve this if you can or at least point me in the right direction because right now I'm clueless. I can't emphasize how important
those files are to me. I've searched for solutions on several forums and it seems that this is a problem people have been having for years now and windows hasn't provided an answer yet.
An interesting note, When I reboot the laptop after trying to do the transfer, a new user account appears at startup alongside the one I normally use. This new user account has the same unique name of the user account I am trying to restore but that's where
the similarity ends. All the settings for this account are default settings and empty folders. What does this mean?

Hi Vincent, like I said I tried all of that already and it failed. Thanks a lot for trying to help though. Imperfect1, so sorry I took so long to reply. No that's not the case. I was trying to restore from x86 to x86.
Well, I finally gave up. I've scoured the internet for a solution. You'll probably find duplicates of this post all over. This has been a known software problem with Windows Easy Transfer for years and Microsoft has done nothing to fix it or warn users of
the risks. Shameful!
Anyway, I managed to recover my files with this life saver of a program here>
http://www.visser.com.au/blog/migrecover-for-microsofts-windows-easy-transfer/
MigRecover Utility for Microsoft's Windows Easy Transfer.
I can't express how grateful I am to the developer and the host for the download. You guys are the most awesomest people ever. Cheers.
Here's how you modify the syntax in commmand prompt if you used a password to protect the mig file in WET>
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/68910c1a-3c4b-47af-bb22-0e7ec6f2054f/
Just remember to change the source drive letter in "C:\SaveData.MIG" to the actual drive it's stored on if your MIG file is on an external drive like mine was; whether it's E:, F:, G: or whatever.
Good luck to anyone with the same issue who stumbles upon this post. I hope it helps you as it did me.

Which is better? store files in the database or directly on the O.S.?

Hi,
i´m developing an application to manager files. which is better? store files in the database or directly on the O.S.? If i decide to store on database, i will use the BLOB data type but i have a doubt...the BLOB data type occupies the same space on database regardless of file size? there is another data type better?
Tks,
Fernando.

Which is better ASM or file system storage

Hi all, I need a urgent help from all u gr8 DBAs.
I have to give justification to my client that which is better to use between file based option ASM and why??
So can anyone give me some write up in this line?

Ok, how about this
Today's large databases demand minimal scheduled downtime, and DBAs are often required to manage multiple databases with an increasing number of database files. Automatic Storage Management lets you be more productive by making some manual storage management tasks obsolete.
The Oracle Database provides a simplified management interface for storage resources. Automatic Storage Management eliminates the need for manual I/O performance tuning. It simplifies storage to a set of disk groups and provides redundancy options to enable a high level of protection. Automatic Storage Management facilitates non-intrusive storage allocations and provides automatic rebalancing. It spreads database files across all available storage to optimize performance and resource utilization. It also saves time by automating manual storage tasks, which thereby increases their ability to manage more and larger databases with increased efficiency. Different versions of the database can interoperate with different versions of Automatic Storage Management. That is, any combination of release 10.1.x.y and 10.2.x.y for either the Automatic Storage Management instance or the database instance interoperate transparently.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer. I have a question mark in the place of the icon. My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto. Thank you

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do with either Finder or Preview.
5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

HT201317 Sometimes i take pictures and they do not transfer to my computer and i need to reset to make it work is this normal and also sometimes i copy pictures to upload file so it can transfer to from my Pc to my i phone and it does not work at all tim

1) Why does it not transfer picturesat all times even when my pc is on wi fi
2) When i copy pic into my upload file it does not transfer back to my i phone ?

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.
