• What are the steps to create, format and install a new virtual disk in Windows

  I swear I've scoured the Internet for days trying to find the details of this process, and I'm embarrassed to have failed in my quest to understand what I must be a very simple thing.  The best I can do is this:

  Step 1: Create a new vmdk using vmware-vdiskmanager

  Step 2:?

  Step 3: Get your vmdk newly formatted using vmware-mount, or using "Map Virtual Disk" of the Workstation option

  Now, you will see that somewhere between step 1 and 3, it is an essential step of the new vmdk format so that it can be recognized and mounted.  Simply, I can't find any example online how to do this.  I just know someone will say "just attach to a virtual machine and format her", to which my answer is "how?  It won't let me get an unformatted disk.  When I try to go directly to step 3 after step 1, I get the following error, "error reading volume information.  Please select another file to disk.

• What is the best method to find the length of a series in xml format.

  What is the preferred/better method to get the 'length' of a set of xml nodes? Currently I use a "for in" loop and using the value of variable end. This works very well, but seems inelegant, inefficient. Any opinions? suggestions?

  Thank you

  M.

  Something like this:

  public void xmlParser(myData:XML)
  {

  var listItems:XMLList = myData.listItem;

  var len:int = listItems.length ();

  creates two tables
  for (var j: uint = 0; j <=> len; j ++) {}
  masterArray [j] = listItems [j]
  flexArray [j] = listItems [j]
  }

  addListeners();
  listLoader (flexArray);

• What is the best method to move from an iPhoto from one Mac to another library?

  What is the I best method for export/transfer my iPhoto on MBP to the iPhoto library library on my iMac? I prefer to keep my metadata intact; I guess that to do a package contents 'show' of my iPhoto and AirDropping the 'masters' library, I won't lose it? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4 on Mac.

  I just want to explain my situation because maybe I'm missing something. I have SUMMER will use the photo library iCloud for synchronization on all my Apple devices and as a backup off-site. Fortunately, I realized soon as enough it would become a management NIGHTMARE. I downloaded everything from iCloud to my MBP and want to get it all on my iMac, so I can clean up the mess of duplicates and others.

  I couldn't synchronize with realism of the iCloud photo library to my iMac because I would have had to download about 150 + GB of data, so that I can download the 30 or GBs who were on my families iOS devices iCloud and the MBP. ICloud photo library interface is NOT well designed or easy to use - download directly from the cloud is heavy at best.

  All tips are appreciated, thanks.

  Simply connect the two Macs together and drag the library in the pictures of the new mac folder - or use an external hard drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag through - then launch iPhoto on the new system

  Move the masters moves original photos and metadata exactly as they were imported without organization

  And iCloud library isn't an option for iPhoto - it requires OS X 10.10.1 and photos 1 or later version

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

• What is the fastest method producer consumer. Queue, RT-FIFO, event

  Hi all

  Another question completed for the pro:

  I recently inherited the labview code that uses RT-FIFO for the transfer mechanism in the architecture of the producer consumer.

  The code was first written in 3-4 years and is currently in LV8.6. It is possible that the reasons for the architectural decision no longer exists.

  I am qualified using a producer consumer queued architecture,

  I understand the RT-FIFO Architecture.

  I started using an architecture based on events from the user.

  (I have attached samples of each)

  I also see the existence of a priority queue

  Each method has its own capabilities and gaps, that hand, nobody knows the relative performance of each method.

  (Assuming that the only process)

  I would expect RT-FIFO to be faster, there seems to be a version of low characteristic of a standard queue.

  What is the perfornace hit to use a coding user-friendly queue more

  RT-FIFO description talks about commications between the time-critical and lower priority threads.

  Until today, I thought that the queues had the same capacity.

  

  I've included an event method that I commonly use for review by peers and help from other users...

  It allows to:

  1. several producers with different types of data

  2. process 37 production order.

  3 allows asynchronous verification of functional notifiers such as stop, start and abort.

  4. in a system not real-time, it can include interactions of façade.

  What I do not understand on this subject, that's what are overhead or thread priority changes that may occur using this architecture (it solves a lot of problems for me).

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi Timmar,

  Here's a KB article on some frequently asked questions about the RT FIFO: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7AE7075AF1B2C58486256AED006A029F?OpenDocument

  The more relevant question is #4, I posted below.

  What is the difference between RT FIFO and queues? 
  Functionally, RT FIFO and LabVIEW queues are two pads of first in, first out. However, here are the main differences between them:

  • RT FIFOs run deterministically in LabVIEW and evanescent code queues are not. This comes from the fact that queues use block calls during read/write to the resource shared, while RT FIFOs use non-blocking calls.
  • RT FIFO are fixed size while queues develop when items are added to them.
  • RT FIFOs will execute the code, even if there are input errors. They can (and will) produce new errors and spread the existing errors.
  • Queues work with any type of data, while the data types that can be used with RT FIFOs are limited. Generally any type of data involving allocations of extra memory can be used with RT FIFOs to preserve determinism.

• What is the best method to add data to a file stored on a usb flash drive to avoid too many write cycles?

  Hello

  I'm trying to store an important data on a cRIO sampled stream in the USB flash drive.

  I believe that there are two ways to add data to a file:

  1. open the file outside of the loop, then write to the file loop, then close the file outside the loop.

  Pros; More quickly and efficiently than the opening and closing of files in a loop is resource heavy equipment.

  Disadvantages; If the program fails partially through, all data is lost.

  2. open the file, write to the file and close the file, all in the loop.

  With the advantages and disadvantages as opposed to option 1.

  As my cRIO is finally deployed in a hostile environment and data are valuable and processing speed is not an issue of concern in this project, I'm leaning towards option 2, but after a few basic calculations that I realize that I'll be writing/opening/closing the file of thousands of times and I wanted to know if this will wear out the flash memory?

  My uncertainty is due to not understanding what happens when a file is opened written to and closed.  He writes the new data to new areas of the flash, or it write all data on top?  The latter would cause me problems not too long term!

  Any help gratefully received.

  A big thank you and best regards,

  Ed

  The 'magic' is not in the File Format (PDM vs vs binary text), but in the "life" of the file.  This solution creates a file of 24 hours and maintains a different file for each day.  If the USB "dies", you lose everything you have not backed up somewhere.  If the program dies (or errors), you lose the data for the current day.  You end up with multiple files (which can be a more or less), but we must still make the trade-off between (duration) of the file and the file number opens (which relates to your concern for the longevity of the USB).  By the way, I suspect that a good quality USB key (it's what you mean, right?  Or do you mean a hard drive USB powered?  Comments probably apply both) can predict today to not die on you, everything just because you make a lot of reads/writes (of course, you could get in-a-thousand...).

• What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

  Hello

  I have a plan to monitor the 6.1.0.17 WebSphere Application Server (32 bit) and 7.0.0.5 (64-bit)

  But I understand not all Foglight for JavaEE and Foglight for JMX.

  Foglight for JavaEE or Foglight for JMX is able to monitor WebSphere?

  What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

  Thanks in advance

  Jeans

  Just to add to the excellent answers already posted.

  We have 2 agents which allows you to monitor Java:

  1. a JavaEE agent that runs inside the JAVA virtual machine and the information of both JMX and instrumentation.

  This Agent will give you JMX information like information of JVM (use of the bunch, son etc.), of the Application and server availability information and other information of JMX/PMI (connections pools, pools of ejb, servlets, jsp, JCA and more).

  Java EE & # 039agent also gives you information of the instrumentation - RFA count and response time, exceptional output and timeout information, distribution of queries (App/DB, component technology, server, application failure), object tracking, transaction flow and stransactional between servers and data sources) and ask traces (the ability to see the trees of the RFA at the method level to know where things are slow/stuck).

  2 JMX agent is running outside the JVM but can run on the same computer or on a remote computer, this agent requires access active, JMX. This agent gives you information JVM, availability server/applications, as well as some data as the application server published using JMX (pools of connections, JCA, EJB, servlets, etc.). The JMX agent also gives you the ability to see a list of the mbeans, get the data they expose (javaEE agent gets only a predefined list (same list that is used as a template for the application servers in the JMX agent)).

  Hope this helps

• What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

  Original title: is anyone know about MHT files?

  What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

  Hi Sheryl,

  Welcome to the Windows 7 community!

  I understand that you would like to know the difference between file MHT and HTM file. I'm happy to help you.

  MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a format to archive web page used to combine resources that are usually represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, audio files, Java applets) as well as the HTML code in a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an email message to HTML, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first part of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their URL original and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to these files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, distributed in an edition revised in 1999 as RFC 2557.

  HTML Web page that is used by Web browsers; contains the code markup that is stored in a plain text format; used to display and format the text and images in a Web browser.

  HTM files serve the same exact than purpose. HTML files. The extension ".htm" appeared with the use of the Web Microsoft, such as FrontPage, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web development software.

  HTM files are much less common than HTML files.

  It will be useful. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• What is the difference bewteen MCU, VCS, and SRI (DSP-3)

  Hi all

  We lack CUCM 9.X. I want to integrate Cisco 9971, 8945 with TP Endpoint (EX60 and Tandberg C40). I read this wonderful document (https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-30750), but I still have some doubts.

  What is the difference bewteen MCU, VCS, and SRI (DSP-3). For all I know, ISR running DSP3 is the chepaiest option but I don't know if the HD video is supported.

  Hello

  According to the document, you are referring to which I posted previously

  VCS is a call control system call manager but for video end points only, then CUCM is for voice and video, and now it becomes control system of very mature appeal for video communications with native support for video of many recordings of points

  MCU is a material that can be used to host the multi point/party video calls that can be registered to CUCM or VCS according to design

  SRI with DSP/PVDM 3 is the concept of the MCU, but can be used for small multi-point calls and normally remote sites that need local accommodation to a call to reduce the load on the WAN link when most of the participant in the same place for example! and it dose taken support HD but limited features compared to MCU

  for example PVDM3 doe does not support HD when participants are expected to use different video formats

  hope this helps
