• How to increase computer speed and bandwidth speed

  For the last 2 weeks I was unable to get into my farmville on facebook.  Talk with the support of zynga and they said after they have reset their side my site works for them.  When I try it gets only so far and the I get a rejection and it resets automatically.  These notes have been left by the developers of farmville, loading time for battery are influenced by its size, the number of elements and the computer speed and bandwidth speed, and even other programs running while you're tying to play.  In the worst case scenario, it can take 5 minutes to load your farm.  Please avoid opening multiple instances of the game.  My computer has been used to the factory settings and all updates were executed.  My computer speed and the speed of bandwidth, I don't know what to do?

• RIB vs AppWorx (integration between Oracle POS and RMS)

  Hello
  
  We ' r buy Oracle POS and RMS (included, ReSA, RTM, RPM, Back Office, Central Office of the Oracle oracle)...
  
  Oracle salesman told us that all the foregoing is what we need to have a complete integration of the software at retail...
  
  now... after the arrival of consultant, he said that we must buy AppWorx (tasks scheduler software) to another provider. We got him confused.
  
  can someone help us please explain what is the difference between SIDES vs Appsworx.
  
  How are the data transferred between Oracle POS to Central Office (RMS, CO).
  
  How data are transferred to the finances of the oracle (is this handle by RIB? or appsworx)...
  
  is there documentation that will help clarify this issue.
  
  If we don't buy of appworx, what is the impact?
  
  Thank you and best regards

  Hi Aan,

  Regarding your question
  RMS of BO/POS/CO/SIM is done partially on the lots and the COAST (SIM).

  The flow of data from RMS to SIM occurs mainly through SIDES (this includes transaction data). But there are still a few batch programs like dataseeding (- who will get the data from the RMS Foundation to SIM-). SIM activity at certain times there are direct API calls to STORE COMMANDER (-in which RSL comes in to the picture)

  Data transfer between RMS and POS/BO/CO is via DIMP (data import) which is done through spring. Inequality as point (from RMS) and the price (from RPM) is divided on these systems through DIMP.

  And for the sales data to flow to RMS, ReSA integration must be done (so that RTlog files will be treated by ReSA and update in RMS will also happen through POSU files. The stock SIM update will happen with resaparser)

  You can find more details on the implementation/operations guides

• What is the difference between POS and VSC? Which should I use?

  Hello

  Turns out we have a multitude of backup running for our virtual machine environment. We lack vCenter 6.0, 6.1 VDP, VSC 6.2P1, SnapManager for SQL and SnapMirror jobs put in place in OnCommand 3.1.2.

  I go crazy trying to pierce the need to have all these products running of backups and snapmirroring data. Bottom line, our SnapMirrors for one or two Volumes take f o r e v e r... And that impacts my tests of SRM (when you use the replication of data).

  I'm trying to clean up, he perfected down, consolidation, re-scheduling and friction on all these solutions. And in the middle of my panic, I thought that "these all do essentially the same thing? Taking snapshots and SnapMirroring data? »

  So, my question to the community is, what is the difference between these solutions, or are they all essentially do the same thing? They confront each other, vying for the band width and stumbling on them to achieve the same thing? Right now my plan is to suspend all work of everything except VSC and SnapManager for SQL and do all this from VSC. This means suspend jobs in NetApp services.

  I'm not the admin for POS, it is my co-worker, so he who installed independently of my work. Is it still necessary?

  What brought me to all of this, besides the failure of MRS to transfer data (SnapMirror on request within a reasonable time) was noting the deltas for our work of snapshot is always huge at certain times of the day. For example, our biggest pork of data has a light snapshot at midnight, and he is constantly 71GB. This leads me to believe that this is a job, because it is predictable. The net effect is SnapMirror jobs take days, latency are several days and transfers has never really stop.

  We plan to upgrade our pipe between our protected Site (HQ) and our DR Site (branch) of 50mbps at 100 Mbps. We have 100 out of our headquarters and 50 in our satellite TV right now, so we want to both be 100. Maybe that would solve the issue, but I still would be pretty effective.

  If you need more information, let me know and I will fill you, or less make up something so I look like I know what I'm talking about.

  TIA!

  Steve

  The reason why you do SnapMirror replication is DR. It is not a backup solution. If you stop all your SnapMirrors in OnCommand Unified Manager and your storage array, the production goes down, you no longer have a DR.

  What does VSC is, it creates snapshots of your NetApp volumes, you can use for short term backup/recovery. The snapshots are not a real backup solution, however. If someone deletes a volume on the NetApp snapshots of this volume will not save you because they no longer exist. But they are still useful in many scenarios, such as Previous Versions of Microsoft CIFS options.

  SnapManager aims to make consistent snapshots of demand for software such as MS SQL in your case. Instant database do not give you this ability, as they do not trigger the VSS suspension. More SnapManager for SQL gives you point in the ability to recover in time for your databases to SQL transaction logs, which provide none of the solutions above. However, as SnapManager creates snapshots, you must make sure that you have dedicated LUN for you SQL VM, otherwise you will be taking snapshots of the same volumes twice.

  And now VDP makes backups of your environment. It supports long-term retention, as snapshots in general are not kept for more than one week or one month. Make sure that the data are stored on a separate volume from where are your virtual machines. Or ideally to a destination that is external to your storage group.

  Hope that clears things up a bit. The result is, what you have is perfectly fine.

• POS and vlan

  Initial conditions:

  NET 172.30.157.0/24 with vlan 3032.

  I try to deploy Vmware DataProtection 6.1.1.

  Deploy device with vCenter and configuration of the network settings.

  

  After the restart the system in the virtual machine does not work because VLAN is not set up

  

  Configure the vlan according to manual http://www.UNIX.com/man-page/SUSE/5/ifcfg-VLAN/

  Parameters of comment in/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0:

  #IPADDR = '172.30.157.110'

  64 bytes from 172.30.157.110: icmp_seq = 3 ttl = 64 time = 0.024 ms

  Network is working. But the console shows that the network does not work.

  After the reboot the network does not, although VM ping of the network 'outside '.

  

  Look at the roads. There are two identical courses for different interfaces:

  IP route del 172.30.157.0/24

  

  Enter at the https://172.30.157.110:8543 / vdp - configure /

  Now, the page is correct and the 'next' button is prerssed.

• POS and OES

  Dear guys,

  I would like to request backup to the top of my VM OES (500 GB) with POS on a stand of the host and the client to have a virtual machine recovered in 3 hours.

  I thought a full backup and incremental backups every 2 hours.

  How long do you think that would take the restoration (the 2 hosts are in the same network) and you have an incremental backup of all 2 hours is ok?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Daniele

  If you have enough disk space... 2 TB with (thick provisioning) should give better performance

  Otherwise, you can always deploy device 2 TB but choose a provisioning.

  Yes. VM backups will be stored on the disks in the unit.

• Differences between POS and Vmware data recovery

  Hi, I wonder if vSphere5.1 has changed the name of recovering data vmware VMware Data Protection (WTP).

  I think the same goes for Vmware recvoery data POS, but I want to confirm here.

  Hello

  You can find more information here: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Data-Protection-Product-FAQ.pdf

• Determine the throughput and bandwidth?

  Hello!

  I looked for a long time but I just can't understand it.

  My drive supports all types of live - stream, vod, dynamic and progressive download

  Now for the needs of monitoring, I would need to understand the flow of the Creek. It is easy to do for dynamic flow but is there a way to do it for all the other rivers of the OSMF?

  Also, is it possible to understand the bandwidth of the user?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Hello

  Here's how I did it:

   50                NetClient(netStream.client).addHandler(NetStreamCodes.ON_META_DATA, onMetaData);
   51                function onMetaData(value:Object):void
   52                {
   53                     NetClient(netStream.client).removeHandler(NetStreamCodes.ON_META_DATA, onMetaData);
   54                     // We assume that the asset metadata has the most accurate value,
   55                     // that's why we overwrite any existing value.
   56
   57                     // audiodatarate and videodatarate are set in kilobits. We need to transform it to bytes.
   58                     averagePlaybackBytesPerSecond = (value.audiodatarate + value.videodatarate)* KBITSPS_BYTESTPS_RATIO;
   59                     duration = value.duration;
   60                }
  

  https://sourceforge.NET/Adobe/SMP/SVN/latest/tree/trunk/player/StrobeMediaPlayback/src/org /osmf/net/PlaybackOptimizationMetrics.as

  Note that these metadata are usually not available. You better average of yourself (or try to extract the metadata as a tip to speed things up) - you can see how I did here too.

  Hope this helps,

  P.S. If you see something wrong, or if you think that there are things that can be improved with the above approach, I would be grateful for your comments.

• FMS 2.0.5 - video image quality and bandwidth

  Hello

  Does anyone know if Flash Media Server can be configured to reduce the quality of the image of a publishing stream if the available bandwidth goes down or there are delays in the connection?

  When I (locally) read videos recorded on the poor connections, intermittent, video images are deleted, then the image crashes.

  Thanks in advance for any ideas,

  Ajay

  Yes... that applies to both publishing and recording. The video from the Publisher of going to subscribers and/or is saved to the file, and there is no API to access video data directly (which is a wildfire... it would be nice to be able to reach out and touch these video images).

  On your settings, do not forget that the parameters of bandwidth is expressed in bytes, then your 51200 setting = 400 Kbps, which isn't all that high (I regularly publishes 1Mbps video without problem). The only limiting factor when it comes to bitrate edition is available on the client and on the server bandwidth, and most often, the limiter is available on the client-side download bandwidth.

  I do ' t know if Adobe has a recommendation posted on bitrate edition, but if there is, I suspect it's something in the sense of "make sure you have a pretty big pipe to the internet to publish your video... do not try to push an elephant through a drinking straw.

  You're right about the degradation of the connection... If a client edition is in a downturn, the flashplayer will buffering video compatible with your client side setting netstream.bufferTime (assuming that the customer publishing is the flashplayer), and then it will start to fall... of the video images that create the choppy playback, jumpy you describe.

• DHCP clients and bandwidth in an E2000

  I just bought an E2000 and I have Cisco Connect does not work on OS x Lion, and I was unable to find it on support downloads. But it is only a comment, my concern is that I'm not able to see on the main menu, the number of DHCP clients is connected, nor of course to check their traffic. All other routers usually provide at least the DHCP clients. Did I miss something? is it possible to access this information?

  It's in the web interface. Compare this: http://ui.linksys.com/files/E2000/1.0.00/Status_Lan.htm

• After a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium, how long will it take to run updates and it will take a lot of bandwidth?

  updates after clean install of Vista Home premium

  I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop two year old, which will require a clean install of Vista Home Edition full.  I live in a remote with the satellite internet service.  I would like to know in advance what will happen after the installation with the updates of the program.  I will ask you to install them? It would take a lot of bandwidth?

  Hi EllenCB,

  Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

  Once you make a clean installation on your hard drive is erased. Now, when you install the operating system return updates that have been deleted will be delivered by Windows update to install on your computer. To save time and bandwidth, you can directly install Service pack 1 and Service pack 2 for Vista which would contain more updates. Of course when you run Windows update and when you try to download from the internet, your download speed will decrease. It is best to keep your system up to date which will allow your version of Windows to run better.

  Before installing the update, run the checksur tool, this tool is running an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. Download the tool from the link below.

• Do IMAQdx and NI GigE Vision 2.0 material support?

  Hello

  From my brief research, GigE Vision 2.0 has features very nice that I'm at the end which are not supported by previous GigE Vision 1.x standards:

  • Compression on the side of the camera
  
  
  • Timestamp and sync IEEE 1588 (PTP)

  OR those taking? If not, are there any plans to add support in the near future?

  Thank you!

  Hi again,

  Thanks for the extra frame.

  Assuming that your only using the camera is saving JPEG images on the disk, and you are concerned about the performance of the acquisition system, I think that an IP camera might be a better choice. These cameras acquire images compressed, so you can very well save the direct-to-disk with no extra charge. This will save time and bandwidth of the network processor. The bandwidth would be nice because you could probably just run 6 cameras in a gigabit switch and connect to a port on the PXI chassis instead of several 8234 ports. This is possible because not only if bandwidth is reduced, but the IP cameras can use TCP and sharing bandwidth much more enjoyable that can cameras GigE vision. To save the raw images on the disk, you can use the IMAQdx VI "Get Image Data", which is a JPEG file that you can save directly to an IP camera.

  Regarding the time stamp data, depends on the accuracy required. Since you recorded all the time after that image returned, is quite imprecise because it is not really correlate with the acquisition time. You might get a more exact time in two ways: record IMAQdx a CPU timestamp on receipt of driver that you can use (useful if the CPU is synchronized to GPS/NTP or similar) or you can use a timestamp saved in the image itself in the form of metadata (GigE Vision and IP cameras can do that). I think the Basler IP cameras can use NTP and testify to the time stamp for metadata EXIF JPEG images that you can extract. This mechanism is of course much more precise because it eliminates the delay/jitter of transmission at the time. If you have a few requirements of precision (microsec, milliseconds, seconds?), it would probably give a better idea of what your options are.

  I suggest you take a look at the range of cameras from Basler IP. You can not control the parameters of the image directly in the IMAQdx driver (you must use their web interface, or write additional HTTP code), but once you have the configured device it will keep these settings.

  http://www.baslerweb.com/en/products/network-cameras/IP-fixed-box-cameras

  It is likely that the cameras will be more expensive that some cheaper GigE Vision cameras can be, but I suspect that you could save enough on other system costs will in this way to make up for it. In my opinion, doing compression JPEG on-the-fly with 350 + MB/sec of camera raw data could be difficult, unless you had a tough multi-core system.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
