Which is the better one, between AFP and SMB protocol for files' transporti

Hi,
I'm a newbie here and I have a question for MAC AFP protocol.
For files' transporting, MAC os has AFP protocol, and it also supports SMB protocol. Is there any difference between these two protocols?
Is the AFP protocol better than the SMB protocol , for files' transporting between two MACs, MACs and Windows,or two Windows?

AFP is preferred for Mac -> Mac transfers. It's the native Mac protocol and easiest to maintain.
Windows systems typically don't understand AFP so it's not an option for them. For Windows transfers you should use SMB.
The Mac can talk SMB, too, so if you had to choose only one, and you have Windows clients on your network, then SMB would be the way to go.
You are not limited to running just one, though. It's perfectly valid to have the server talk both AFP and SMB at the same time, letting each client use the protocol it prefers.

Difference between afp and smb

I'm running OS X server 10.5.8. unlimited license with only file sharing enabled.
When a large number of users (more than 7 or 8) try to log on the server at the same time, the server goes AWOL. A few users get on and that's it. When I check the server preferences, file sharing has turned off by itself. When I try to restart it, it just turns off again. After waiting a while, I can turn it on again, or it'll turn on again by itself after a good long while.
This is in the setting of a computer lab. The users get on via afp. Would smb work better? What's the difference between the two?
I'll appreciate any help or suggestions on this.

That's clearly not normal. What do the logs have to say?

AFP was designed by Apple and is the native file sharing protocol in Mac OS X.
SMB was designed by Microsoft and is the native file sharing protocol in Windows.
At one time Macs would use AFP, Windows systems would use SMB. That line is now blurred by the fact that Mac OS X can talk both AFP and SMB, and Windows machines can be persuaded to talk AFP.
There are some under the hood differences and in general your Mac clients should use AFP if possible. Whether SMB is more or less reliable in your case depends on why the server is having these issues in the first place - if it's a resource issue (i.e. not enough memory/cpu/etc.) then enabling SMB is likely to make things worse since the server now has an additional process to keep running.

What is(are) the difference(s) between iphoto and imovie apps for the imac as against ipad3?

What is (are) the difference(s) between iphoto/imovie apps for the ipad as against imac?

The Mac version would be more complex and be able to do more stuff, while the iPad version can do more simple things due to the lower processing power and the fact that it's an iPad.

Whats the main difference between wifi and wifi Cellular for iPad mini?

Can someone explain to me in simple terms the main difference/benefit of buying a wifi or a wifi + cellular iPad? I thought the cellular meant you would have a sim card in it and you can then connect to the internet when you are not near a wifi, but now looking at the specs again it mentions a sim card for the wifi one, so what are you getting extra for the cellular technology?

Aloha Karl. You're welcome. I'm still new to all this technology myself. I only had my iPad for a year and a half. Up until a few years ago I had no plans to to ever have anything to do with computers. Fortunately a few friends showed me what was available on the internet and another friend suggested I should give the iPad a look at. The rest is history. At 63 I'm still like a kid with a new toy, trying to learn, trying to help. Bob.

Ok, I just have a quick question regarding conversion software. Does anyone know which is better...PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP2? Besides the cost...pavtube is cheaper. Which one is faster and offers the best quality? OR is there even a better one out there? I have mts files and mpg files I'd like to convert for use in FCP 6.

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

ToString() and new String(),which is the better?

now,there is very big StringBuffer sb,i want convert it to String s,which is the better:
s=sb.toString();
s=new String(sb);
Thanks.

now,there is very big StringBuffer sb,i want convert
it to String s,which is the better:
s=sb.toString();
s=new String(sb);
Thanks.this is the implementation advice for
toString(StringBuffer)
This method can be coded so as to create a new String object
without allocating new memory to hold a copy of the character sequence. Instead, the string
can share the memory used by the string buffer. Any subsequent operation that alters the
content or capacity of the string buffer must then make a copy of the internal buffer at that
time. This strategy is effective for reducing the amount of memory allocated by a string
concatenation operation when it is implemented using a string buffer.
so decide urself

I want to find the difference(duration) between logon and logoff time?

i want to find the difference(duration) between logon and logoff time of below table?
can any one tell the query to find using self join?

No selfjoin, just analytical functions.
CREATE TABLe log_time

LOGON_TIME timestamp,
LOGOFF_TIME timestamp);
insert into log_time (username,LOGON_TIME,LOGOFF_TIME) values ('HR',sysdate,null);
insert into log_time (username,LOGON_TIME,LOGOFF_TIME) values ('HR',null,sysdate+1/38);
insert into log_time (username,LOGON_TIME,LOGOFF_TIME) values ('HR',sysdate+2,null);
insert into log_time (username,LOGON_TIME,LOGOFF_TIME) values ('HR',null,sysdate+2+14/20);
commit;

               LEAD(logoff_time,1,logon_time) OVER (PARTITION BY username ORDER BY time_to_sort) my_logoff_time,
               time_to_sort
        FROM (SELECT username,logon_time,logoff_time,NVL(logon_time,logoff_time) time_to_sort
              FROM log_time)
where LOGON_TIME is not null
ORDER BY time_to_sort;
USERNAME     LOGON_TIME     LOGOFF_TIME     MY_LOGOFF_TIME     MY_LOGOFF_TIME-LOGON_TIME     TIME_TO_SORT
HR     02.11.10 11:34:56.000000000          02.11.10 12:12:50.000000000     0 0:37:54.0     02.11.10 11:34:56.000000000

You can cover much more issues. (e.g the DB crashes and you get 2 logon but no logoff in a sequence and.....)

What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ?

Hi Friends,
We had a client meeting 2 days back regarding BODS project, But our client is showing more interest on Talend. We have explained/demo him on BODS. Could any one please tell me, What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ? What are the features of BODS which are not there in TELEND ?
Thanks,
Bheem.

Hi,
If you talk difference than Talend is an open source. SAP DS as huge advantage when it comes to loading data into SAP and it is more flexible with lots of inbuilt features and easy to load data into SAP using DS directly and extracting data from various legacy systems.

CSM Redundancy : FT or HSRP +FT .. Which is the better option?

The CSM does not run HSRP.
So your only option is FT failover.

What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?

What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?plzz tell
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 13, 2008 3:48 PM

CMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements.
Difference Between BADI and User Exits
BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.
Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.
BADI's are oops based.
Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
As with customer exits two different views are available:
In the definition view, an application programmer predefines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional software to standard SAP source code without having to modify the original object.
In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard logic if one is available.
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, partner, and customer solutions, as well as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example).
All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects.

HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
Frustrated!!!

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM

Hi,
We are planning to extract sales orders, sales activites and service orders to dispaly it on the PDF factsheet of the account.
As of now, the PDF factsheet takes a long time to retrieve the data from ECC to CRM. Can you please suggest us on ways to optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi.

Hello,
[SAP Note 636906 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/636906]is quite useful here.
Many times, the performance is poor due to function module CRM_CCKPT_EXPORTSUMMARY. This function module gets the customer number, the sales organization and the fact sheet view. If in CRM customizing, you use complete view (001), then all the views in ERP including all the info blocks will be retrieved, which will cause performance issue.
To solve the issue, please use a limited view to retrieve the data from ERP - especially a view, which does not contain info block 013.
Hope it helps
Joaquin

The Correct Space Between You And Your Monitors

Something that always crossed my mind was the space between your monitors and where you are seated. How far exactly are you supposed to be positioned from your speakers in order to read and hear correctly. Most producers would comment that people produce in all types of environments, headphone close rang monitors, far range monitors. But what exactly is the ideal space between you and your speakers? To look into this issued even more closely each speaker is designed differently, there for you cannot look at them all equal as far as performance is concerned.
How far are you away from your speakers?

dude it depends what you want
I got mine at about 1-meter to 1.5-meters at my home studio
at the big studio i've got two pairs of monitors in there and they both 1.5 meters
other people will go as far as 3-meters, in your case get abit closer as you said before that your room is not acoustically treated there for sitting too far away will give you a mix of 50% of the speakers and 50% of the room
but you need 80% of the speakers and 20% of the room
ps: don't just leave this topic alone and start another one, because its annoying when people don't if you've been help or not and they keep trying to help you
and people also don't know if you are reading your post or your just using it as an amusement forum just for fun on your lunch breaks
so please reply back and let people know if they've helped
