Which upgrades are relevant for me?

Hi all.
I am going to order the new iMac 21,5" 2.9 GHz and I need some help figuring out which upgrades are relevant for me.
I am going to use the iMac for the following:
- Webdesign (my profession)
- Photoshop and perhaps other Adobe applications
- Lots and lots of multitasking and many tabs in browsers
- Screen Flow application (screen recording software)
- Dual boot with Windows 7
- Time Capsule backups
- Gaming (Sims 3 primarily - in Windows 7)
I want it to be "future proof", but since hyperthreading isn't widely used in applications yet and people write that the majority of people never go beyond 4GB of RAM i'm onsure whether I should upgrade the CPU and RAM.
Also, since the iMac 21,5" is not user-upgradeable after you get it, I want to make sure that I don't end up having a slow computer that I wish I would have made better/faster. I just want it to function fast and smooth. Today I have a MBP 15" medio 2009, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, which I think performs overall well but is a bit slow sometimes.
The only upgrade I seem sure of for now is the 1TB Fusion Drive.
Thanks in advance!

Although I am sure you have seen all this ... this is the formal description of that machine. Apple (United Kingdom) - iMac - Technical Specifications
I cannot answer you questions about the specific tasks you plan to use it for; they are simply outside of my knowledge base, but you do raise points about being 'future proof', as you describe it, and I am afraid Apple is no more future proof than any other computer. It is a fact that the sales of Apple machines rely on upgrading at periodic intervals, often using upgrades that were designed and known about two years before. That, I'm afraid, is business.
As far as the RAM is concerned you will have to decide between 8 GB and 16 GB when you order it as it cannot be RAM increased afterwards. (The 27" can, I understand.
Very much based on talk within the forums but I hope this is of some help to you.

Which OSS note corrections are relevant for a release

Hello.
I have a following problem: I have an OSS note (opened in transaction SNOTE) and in the left tree I have a couple of correction instructions. I have multiple of them because the correction is relevant to multiple releases. The note is "implementable".
Then I have a class CL_CWB_NOTE which is the main object behind SNOTE.
I would like to be able to say which of the correction instructions that I can get from CL_CWB_NOTE class or function module SCWB_NOTE_READ (read OSS note) or SCWB_CINST_READ (read correction instruction) are relevant for my release.
Of course I could invent something on my own but it's obviously the wrong thing to do. Can someone help me find the method or function that would tell me if a correction instruction is relevant for my release?
Thank you, regards Otto

Hi,
On 702 it looks like SCWB_NOTE_IMPL_STATUS may be the best bet, but it is not as simple as relevant or not:

TS2972 how can i identify which computers are authorized for i tunes

How can I identify which computers are authorized for use with I tunes?

Hi there,
You can't see a list of your authorised computers, but you can see how many are authorised and deauthorise them individually or together.
I've found you a relevent support article which explains all of this:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
Hope this helps,

Which archivelogs are required for restoring database

I'm moving to RMAN direct to tape backups (via Netbackup). I'm hoping someone can clarify for me which archivelogs are needed for restoring/recovering a RMAN "hot" backup.
I will have two tape pools with different retention periods:
- standard (kept for 2 months)
- long term (kept for 7 years)
I plan to backup as follows:
- archivelogs every 15 mins direct to the standard pool
- daily backups to the standard pool
- monthend backups to the long term pool
Month ends will either be a full or a full plus a cumulative (level 2) (depending on the weekday that month end falls on).
The bit I'm concerned about is archivelogs. After 2 months they will be expired on tape. But do I need archive logs in order to restore the month end backups?
At the moment I record the SCN before the backup begins and after it finishes (retrieved via select first_change# first_scn from v$log where status = 'CURRENT'). Before recording the post-backup SCN, I force a logfile switch.
For clones, I always restore to the post-backup SCN that I previously recorded (rather than using the tag I associated with the backup).
So a few questions related to restoring after the 2 month window:
- do I need the archivelogs created during the timespan of the backup ran in order to restore to the post-backup SCN?
- If so, is just backing up these archivelogs (to the long term pool) by specifying the range of pre-backup SCN to post-backup SCN sufficient or are additional archivelogs likely to be required?
- if I restore the database and don't specify an SCN but just specify the tag used at the time of the backup, will archive logs be required at all? In this case what would be the state of the restored database - would it be as it was at the beginning or at the end of the backup?

Hi user4835675,
do I need the archivelogs created during the timespan of the backup ran in order to restore to the post-backup SCN?Yes.
If so, is just backing up these archivelogs (to the long term pool) by specifying the range of pre-backup SCN to post-backup SCN sufficient or are additional
archivelogs likely to be required?Can you do a skip of the daily backup schedule duing the monthend backups run and run the "archivelogs every 15 mins" job to the long term pool?
Or temporarily stop the "archivelogs every 15 mins" job during the monthend job and run the monthend backup with the "backup database plus archivelog" clause?
if I restore the database and don't specify an SCN but just specify the tag used at the time of the backup, will archive logs be required at all?Yes, you need archivelogs to recover the datafiles to a consistent state.
In this case what would be the state of the restored database - would it be as it was at the beginning or at the end of the backup?You can only restore to a point in time which past the end of the backup.

Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?

Hello,
We're confirming OEE report behavior.
I'd like to know OEE report and ME table specification.
Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?
According to I know, the definition of Quality Efficiency is (complete qty) / (start qty).
For this calculation, does OEE report just use qty_started and qty_completed of PRODUCTION_LOG table?
If any other tables/columns/logic are implemented, your information is appreciated.

1> I want to know which privileges are required for running sql tuning advisor...
As SQL tuning advisor relies on the advisor framework, so all tuning task interfaces (XXX_TUNING_TASK) require privilege ADVISOR.

as we are excluding the component from planning so how the below level will be plan .....?

Which tables are suitable for advanced compression in R12.1.1 vision db

I want to use advanced compression in our R12.1.1 test env and I want to know which R12 tables are suitable for that?(I want make a script for compressing our VISION DB automatically)
for example, table like GL% and ... ?
some table contain long/long raw data_type ,so if I compress all tables in a tablespace(like APPS_TS_TX_DATA) ,filter long/long raw table will became a time-cosuming job..
thanks

Hi,
for example, table like GL% and ... ?I believe this is no direct answer to your question as this depends on the number/type of records you have in your tables, and this varies from one organization/environment to another. You could calculate the size of the tables and decide which tables need compression by yourself.
some table contain long/long raw data_type ,so if I compress all tables in a tablespace(like APPS_TS_TX_DATA) ,filter long/long raw table will became a time-cosuming job..Please see if these links help.

Which parameters are required for generating a solution manager key?

Hello All,
I generated a key in Solution Manager, to install a SAP NW 2004s SR1.
But I receive an error during the installation from the SAPINST:
"SAP Solution manager key for the instance number... is invalid ".
I already changed the parameters for generating the key, changed the instance number, hostname, but I still receive the same error.
Could someone tell me which parameters exactly are required for generating a solution manager key?
thanks
Thomas

Dear Sri,
this is exactly what I have entered, I still get the same error message.
My entries in SAPINST:
SAPinst founds one system instance on the host with
the Instance number 00,
the Instance name SCS00.
And ask for the Central Instance parameters:
there I enter 01 for the central Instance number,
the hostname
and the solution manager key generated for the instance number 01!
best regards
Thomas
