Need urgrnt Help in sechduiling Agreement
Dear SAP guru
I have maintained sechduiling agreement for a material I(with type 2).I have put the requirement in MD61.I have maintained the delivery time in material amster. Say that I have given the requirement on 24t/08/2011/25/08/2011,30-08-2011, as 45, 55,70 respectively. I have maintained the fixed lot sizes and safety stocks also. when I run MRP i am expecting the system should create the sechduiling agrrement for the date 24, 25, 30/08/2011, but in ME38 in delivery sechdule all it is displaying the same date as 27/08/2011.
Please help me

END-OF-PAGE.END-OF-PAGE.Hello Selvi
There is no need to use two subroutine. Actually, this would be bad programming. Instead use a switch for your subroutine which determines whether the calculation should be done for the actual and the previous day, e.g.:
PERFORM do_calculation
USING 'X' " 'X' = calculate for previous day as well
USING p_date " current date
CHANGING gt_list. " itab with list data
And that's how the subroutine could look like:
FORM do_calculation
USING VALUE(ud_calculate_previous_day) TYPE c
VALUE(ud_date) TYPE d
CHANGING ct_list TYPE <table type>.
* define local data
DATA:
ld_date_prev TYPE d,
lt_list_prev TYPE <table type>. " list for previous day
* Do the calculations for the current day
IF ( ud_calculate_previous_day = 'X' ).
ld_date_prev = ud_date - 1.
PERFORM do_calculation
USING ' ' " ' ' = no calculation for previous day
ld_date_prev
CHANGING lt_list_prev. " itab with list data
ENDIF.
* Post-processing after calculation for both days
ENDFORM.

I need urgrnt help in working with JasperReports
I just want to know how can I pass a query to a JasperReport. I've just gone thru the JasperReports.sourceforge.net but couldn't make it. Please if someone can make it.
Thanx for the interest.Well if you have looked at a sample JRXML file (it is the begining point for generating a report using JasperReports), that comes with the JasperReports, you will see the query (with in <queryString> </queryString> tags).
One such sample file I have come across is under %JasperReports Home%/demo/samples/query/QueryReport.jrxml -
I'm hoping to buy a ipad air or ipad mini 2 to read PDFs, which one is the best....????
(need a help)I agree with Ralph. It all depends on what you're comfortable reading on.
Most retailers have demo devices, go to a store and play with them and see which one works best for you -
I need your help, I also like to make friends
In hangzhou, zhejiang province, I come from China, I was able to visit here because of my cell phone was locked.I need a SIM unlocked, I'm not sure I'm youdao translation is correct, but I am a very sincere need your help.
What happened is that one of my friends in the United States from the United States back to a local on the iphone.After I received very happy, but it has a lock.My mood fell the bottom, after a period of time trying to find the answer I will come to verizon's official website, to look not to understand a foreign language Chinese friends, this is very difficult.
I want to see this post you the friend can help me, can see the official friends??
I can't to the United States, my friend is no longer the United States for the time being.So can only rely on you.I don't have your official phone CARDS, even if have also used in China.How could you let me sad!!!!!!!!!!!
For the Chinese New Year is coming soon, in China is equivalent to you Christmas.I hope my New Year's to receive this gift.
Private info removed as required by the Terms of Service.
Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorSorry I don't speak or read Chinese but you cannot unlock the iPhone connected to Verizon Wireless unless its active on verizon. After a certain number of months the device can then be unlocked by verizon to use in China.
Have your friend in the USA activate the iPhone on their account then after awhile it can be unlocked.
There has recently been an agreement for cell providers to unlock devices easier, and to do it withing a few days. However since it was not made as a rule of law, the providers will skirt around the requirement they agreed to. Very typical of cellular providers.
Good Luck -

}Hello I am new to java, and I hope someone help me to modify the above code in order to make it work as the following:
I have a list of integer values like 1, 2, 3, 4? 10
And I want the program to substitute the integer values (the integer declared list) subsequently one by one to output a new html file as the following output:
This is written to a file 1
This is written to a file 2
This is written to a file3 ?etc
Also this substitution has to be outputted to a new file every time.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind help
if i have to post this anywhere else please advise me..

Thanks -
Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
Need your help in Remodeling concept
Hi Gurus need your help in time estimations
I have a cube with data and now I need to add 10 new info objects to the cube which are including Date fields (BUDAT, BLDAT) these 10 fields will be populated to the cube from a Z table in ECC as we donu2019t have these fields in the cube we have to go for remodeling of the cube
My client requires how much time it will take to complete this
Now I want to know how much time it would take to do this (if any customer exits and user exits are required) and addition if new fields will have any effect on the current queries
Please advice in this
Thank youThe time taken will depends on a lots of factor like server speed, available memory, background jobs etc. Apart from this, the time will also depends on how much the cube is filled i.e. the no. of records in the cube. Its very abstract to tell you the exact time taken for this. But, please make sure that you have the backup of the cube which you are going to re-model. T0 say, I think 3-4 hours should be ok for the remodelling.
Thanks.

Need your help on performance issue please
Hello everyone!
I need your help to understand an effect I notice with a Thread class I built. I currently work on enhancement of my application Playlist Editor (see http://www.lightdev.com/page74.htm) and a new release will be available soon.
Among other extensions the new release will have a title filter function which is based on audio data that is recursively read from ID3 tags of files found in a given root directory. The data collection is done by a CollectionThread class which reads into a data model class AudioDataModel and the entire process works fine, no problem with that.
However, when my application is started for the first time the CollectionThread runs approximately 3 minutes to collect data from approximately 4300 audio files on an Intel Pentium M 1,4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP SP2. When the application is shut down and started again, it takes only a few seconds to do the same task for all subsequent launches.
I already tried to start the application with java option -Xms40m to increase initial heap size. This increases performance in general but the effect is still the same, i.e. first run lasts significantly longer than subsequent runs.
I also tried to build a pool mechanism which creates many empty objects in the data model and then releases them to contain the actual data at is being read in but this did not lead to better performance.
It must have to do with how Java (or Windows?) allocates and caches memory. I wonder whether there is a way to pre-allocate memory or if there are any other ideas to improve performance so that the process always only takes seconds instead of minutes?
I attach the key classes to this message. Any help or ideas is much appreciated!
Thanks a lot a best regards
Ulrich
PS: You can use the news subscription service at
http://www.lightdev.com/dynTemplate.php4?id=80&dynPage=subscribe.php4 to be informed when the new release of Playlist Editor is available.
All classes posted here do not need debugging, they already have proven to run error free. The classes are only posted for information for the interested reader - no need to go through all the stuff in detail - only if it interests you.
My application calls class CollectionThread wich is a subclass of InfoThread. CollectionThread recursively goes through a directory and file structure and stores found ID3 tag information in instances of class ID3v11Tag which in turn gets stored in one instance of class AudioDataModel. All classes are shown below.
This is the mentioned CollectionThread

*Hi Franck,
thank you, mate. I did what you suggested (changed class attached) but that did not change the mentioned behaviour.
The first run is approximately 75 seconds with Java option -Xms40m and approx. double without, the second run and all subsequent runs are only 2-3 seconds each (!!!) even when terminating and re-starting the application between thread runs.
I'm pretty clueless about that, any more help on this anyone?
Thanks a lot and best regards
Ulrich

The apps didn't download.
Talking Angela and Ginger didn't download.
Talking Santa didn't update.Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory. -
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
Hi there,
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
(OS: I use Windows XP).
When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
[JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
(A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
Many thanks in advance.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide. -
Letter/report generation...morgalr, i need your help!!
may i know the details or some sample source code of how to generate the html and import it to MS Word...i need your help urgently...may i have your email to contact u?.....please help, it is urgent!!!
You need not use an applet to write an HTML file, any application file will do fine, actually applications may be prefered due to system security and file creation. Basically the html files are just text files using HTML. Look at any book on HTML and you will be able to get the style and form down along with the syntax.
As for calling MS word, do a search on the web for a product called JPrint. It is done by a company called Neva and they also have a product called "coroutine". It is coroutine that you want. Coroutine is a native level interface for Java to Comm. The docs that come with coroutine should be saficient to get you going on the project. -
I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks
If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id
