ThinkPad "Global" (G) and "Global Models Plus" (GMP) programs

Can anyone shed some light on what these two programs are? Certain ThinkPads designated in the Personal Systems Reference sheets are indicated as being part of one of these programs. What benefit does that give me? I am deploying ThinkPads to various countries which is why I am interested.
Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410s

Those look like are older systems that are no longer marketed. Global models in general means some systems with the same base stats were sold in multiple geographies. However, the machines you list look like they've been altered from standard models due to their stats.
To see exactly how they were built (spec-wise) from the factory, you would also have to look up systems by their full machine type model (MTM) numbers. For those models that would be a seven digit alpha numeric number. That would provide full "stats" of the systems as they were first produced. The MTM should be on the bottom of the unit, or under the battery.
To my knowledge, no "standard" models of those systems were ever made that had both an SSD and a 640GB drive in the ultrabay. In fact, I don't think Lenovo ever certified a 640GB drive for either of those systems, so it looks like they were "altered" a bit with aftermarket parts.

Global setStroke and Global setRenderingHint

Hello Forum,
Is there a way to setStroke and setRenderingHint once not everytime paint is called? If so how can I do this? setStroke and setRenderingHit are very slow.
Thanks,
Mike

These calls are part of Graphics2D how would I implement that? Every time paint is called I get a different Graphics object.

Creating abap program to develop and activate a global table type and global structure.

Hi friends,
I want to create and activate a global structure and global table type by coding in ABAP editor only. so can I do that anyhow.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for your fruitful replies, as most of you asked the main purpose of my question, the answer is as follows:
in fact my purpose to do so is to create a function module that can fetch data dynamically from different database tables based on the codings in different abap program.
for example: in one abap program i am coding as follows:
tables: kna1.
types: begin of itab,
          kunnr type kna1-kunnr,
          name1 type kna1-name1,
          end of itab.
data: it_tab type standard table of itab,
         wa_tab type itab.
similarly in other program i am coding as follows:
tables: vbrp.
types: begin of itab,
          posnr type vbrp-posnr,
          matnr type vbrp-matnr,
          arktx type vbrp-arktx,
          end of itab.
data: it_tab type standard table of itab,
         wa_tab type itab.
so now for both programs i want to call the same function module and fetch data as required in relative programs as mentioned above. in that case how to create that function module?

Difference between Form Interface and Global definitions in Smartforms.

Hi guys!
I'm learning about Smartforms.
I would like to know which is the difference between Form Interface from the Global Settings and Global Definitions from Global settings as well, because in both of them I have to declare tables, structures, variables, etc. Could you please explain to me when should I use them?
Thanks!
Gaby

Two ways to use Smart Form:
1. by using Application Program
2. By coding in Smart form itself.
Now, if the 1st method is used then same interface can be used for multiple requirements. For eg two different programs Z1 and Z2, may use same interface. Hence a lot of efforts are reduced.
On the other side in 2nd method, multiple forms have to be created to fulfill different requirements.
Now, Global Definiton is something that is irrespective of which Program is being used, the form nodes can use the Global definition in all cases.
Also all tables etc must be declared in the Global setting.

Display entity-attributes and global-attributes in the same screen

Hi,
I have a question about entity.
Is it possible to display in the same screen, entity-attributes and global-attributes?
thanks
Rosalia

Hi Rosalia,
You can only display attributes from the current entity and the entity or entities that it is contained by (the parent entities).
So if you had the following data model
Global
..the person
...the income
the person is contained by global.
the income is contained by the person (which is contained by global).
If you want to create a person-level question screen, you can display global attributes on that screen by using subsitution like %global_field_1%. You cannot, however, input global attributes on that screen (ONLY attributes belonging to the person)
If you want to create an income-level question screen, you can display attributes from the person such as "tell us about %person_name%'s income..." as well as global attributes. Again, you cannot input person or global attributes on that screen (ONLY attributes belonging to the income)
However it only works from child-to-parent containment relationships! You cannot have a global question screen which loops through the person instances and displays attributes from the person, or from the income out-of-the-box.
We have managed to implement this using custom controls.
You can map individual attributes back up to the parent level, and then display them,
such as
the first person's name = InstanceValueIf(the people, the person's name, the person's id = 1)
the first person's name is now a global attribute and can be displayed on global question screens.
Hope this helps!

What is diffrence between "Partner Specific" and "Globally Available" Addon

I would like to know what difference between Partner specific and globally available solution is? OurAdd-on will be available in all the countries including US. We are thinking of using B1 licensing mechanism instead of using ours. Which is best solution type u201CPartner Specificu201D or u201CGlobally Availableu201D to suit our needs? Which license type will protect our interests and allow us controlling that a customer may not be able to download licenses more than specified in agreement?
Thanks
Abhishek Jain

Without having a look in your system it is hard to say what can be the reason for that.
you have to know that the master data changes does not reflect automatically in inventory controlling.
I suggest you to set up the report RMCBNE32 as periodical (e.g. monthly) background job.
it also would be good to compare the walues in table S032 and MBEW for those materials. This also can be a reason for a difference. The values mus be the same on plant level.

Problem with .DLL and global variables

Hi,
I need some helps to figure out my problem.
I wrote a .dll file to open and run a GUI. When I run it at the first time, it is ok. When I call it again, there is an error "Pointer to free memory passed to library. It will be ok if I completely exit the program that calls the .dll before re-call it. I think there is some problems with global variables when I call another thread. How can I free global variables between threads. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

Vinh Pham:
Are you doing anything intentionally that frees your globals?
CVI ships with an example program that demonstrates calling a DLL to create a user interface: guidll.cws.
I made two simple modifications to guidll.cws.
1. In guidll.c, I made hpanel global by moving its declaration from RunDLLUI() to right below the #include statements.
2. In useguidll.c, I duplicated the lines calling RunDLLUI () and MessagePopup() to call the DLL gui twice.
I built the project and ran it. I had no problems with free'ed globals.
Take a look at the guidll example.
Can you either post your code or a modification to guidll that demonstrates the problem you're having?

Globally open and close all accordion panels

Is there a way to globally open and close all accordion
panels? For example, it would be nice to have an "Expand all" and
"Collapse all" link at the top of the page, before the accordion,
that has this functionality.

Hi FM_n_DC,
Accordions can only ever have a single panel open. If you
want individual control over which panels are open you probably
want to use a CollapsiblePanelGroup. This sample shows how to open
all and close all of the panels of the CollapsiblePanelGroup:

Differnace b/w SID and Global data base name

please tell me what is differance b/w SID and global data base name.

Hi,
Oracle System Identifier (SID)
A name that identifies a specific instance of a running pre-release 8.1 Oracle database. For any database, there is at least one instance referencing the database.
For pre-release 8.1 databases, SID is used to identify the database. The SID is included in the connect descriptor of a tnsnames.ora file and in the definition of the listener in the listener.ora file.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14213/glossary.htm#i433004
Global database name
The full name of the database which uniquely identifies it from any other database. The global database name is of the form "database_name.database_domain," for example, sales.us.acme.com.
The database name portion, sales, is a simple name you wish to call your database. The database domain portion, us.acme.com, specifies the database domain in which the database is located, making the global database name unique. When possible, Oracle Corporation recommends that your database domain mirror the network domain.
The global database name is the default service name of the database, as specified by the SERVICE_NAMES parameter in the initialization parameter file.

How do I store VI References in global variables and access them later

From what I know, Labview automatically deletes VI references when they go out of use. Is there a way for me to override this so that I can access a set of preloaded references in a separate VI? Essentially I would like to open the VI's dynamically into the memory, store the references in global variables and access them at a later time. The VI's I'm referencing won't be known until runtime. I know its not the safest way to do it, but it would be the most productive on my end.
Thank you
Clay Upton

I'm not sure what you mean by "a later time", but a VI reference will remain valid as long as the VI is in memory. If you don't unload the VIs, the references will remain valid.
If you do need to unload the VIs, for whatever reason, I would suggest the following:
Create a functional global as your interface for obtaining the references.
Feed the paths to the VIs into the VI when initializing it (since you don't know which VIs in advance).
When calling the VI to obtain the references, have the VI check them first (using the Not a Number... primitive). If it sees that they're invalid, it can open a new reference and return that.
You should note that when a VI is removed from memory, the data space is used is released, so if those VIs are expected to hold data (using shift registers, etc.) this will be a problem.
The description I've given will only be usable in certain instances (and it has its intricacies), but you didn't really give any details about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

How can I set the parameters of global channels and tasks previously created inside my application?

Hi everyone !
Before proceeding to the description below I think it´s important to say that I´m using NI USB-6008 as DAQ device and the driver used is DAQmx 7.5.
I´m currently developing an application into which I intend to be able to have complete control of the DAQ device being used, i.e, I´ll be able to create, delete and change the configuration of global channels and tasks previously created, among other things.
To achieve the ends specified above I´ve already developed two vis, one to create global channels and the other to create tasks, and these two are doing a fine job. After this, I thought I came to the easy part ... I think I couldn´t be far for the truth! I thought that everything I should do was to specify which channel or task I´d like to configure and then use a property node to get the results I wanted, but it´s not working ...there are some DAQmx property nodes I thought I could use to do it but I didn´t find a way to change the configuration of the global channels, and none of these property nodes seemed to work, i.e, although the simple vis used to test them ran the chosen parameters didn´t alter at all, after each execution I used MAX to see if they had changed, and to my chagrin they hadn´t.
Can anybody lend me a hand with this problem? As always, any help would be deeply appreciated !

Hi Giovani,
There is a developer zone tutorial that discussus some advanced data acquisition features including programmatic saves of NI-DAQmx tasks, global channels, and scales. This tutorial also includes an example program.
I wrote a short program that creates tasks in MAX. Whenever I wanted to change a part of the task, I would just change that feature in the example program. Take a look at the examples and please let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Hal L.

Cs3 bug - global objects and frame labels

Just found a bug that took me an hour to figure out.
A strange problem occurred when I had a global object and a
frame label named the same.
Example:
_global.discussion = new Object();
//lots of functions here
I was directing the timeline of a movieClip to the frame
label "discussion". On this frame there were a number of actions
involving the discussion object. However, flash was treating the
object as if it didn't exist. All variables / functions residing in
this object were completely gone. Has anyone seen this problem. If
not, watch out for it.
james

that's coder bug, not a flash bug.

Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones?

Hi Champs,
Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones? Idea is to patch DEV-zones only on the system & test applications and then patch only the STG-zones on same server!
Not sure if it is possible but just throwing a question...
Cheers,
Nitin

Yes, if you have branded (non-sparse) zone!Branded zones and sparse zones don't have the relation that you imply. In Solaris 10, native zones can be sparse or whole-root (non-sparse, as you say). Zones that are not native zones are branded zones. Branded zones on Solaris 10 include Solaris Legacy Containers, previously known as Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers. That add-on product allows you to run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 application environments under a thin layer of virtualization provided by the brands framework. solaris8 and solaris9 branded zones can be patched independently of each other and of the global zone.
Solaris 11 has no "native zones" - all zones use the brands framework. The "solaris" brand does no emulation and in that respect is very similar to native zones on Solaris 10. Solaris 11 also provides Solaris 10 Zones via the solaris10 brand. This allows zones or the global zone from a Solaris 10 system to be transferred to a Solaris 11 system and run as solaris10 zones. When running on Solaris 11, solaris10 zones can each be patched independently from each other and the Solaris 11 global zone. Technically, Solaris 11 doesn't have patches - it just has newer versions of packages to which the system is updated.

To break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone

Hi folks
"to break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone through a kernel bug exploit"
Is this possible and has SUN allready a fix/workaround/patch for that?
Cheers

Is it possible there's a bug in the kernel? Sure.
Someone would need to find and identify such a bug before it could be fixed. I've not heard of the discovery of a bug like this. You could check the bug database at www.opensolaris.org.

Urgent : OBIA - Handling multiple Global, Local and Document Currencies

All,
I need input on how to configure multiple currency codes in DAC for OBIA 7.9.6.x
My client's business goes around the the world and with multiple local currencies.They also need reporting currency to be multiple like in Euro, USD etc.
I went through a couple of threads in this forum,like -
Re: Configuring Global Currencies in BI Apps 7.9.6 for EBS 11.5.10 Source
Re: How we are using Global, Local and Document Currencies in DAC.
But I have some confusion regarding the configuration of DAC's 3 Global currency codes.
In order to fulfill my requirement - should I add additional codes in DAC?
Basically How am I supposed to handle multiple Local,Document and Global currencies? And then possible changes in rpd/reports required also?
Regards,
Krish

Currencies are discussed in the Setup and Configuration Guide here:
7.1.1.2 How to Configure Global Currencies
To configure the global currencies you want to report in your warehouse:
In the DAC Client, display the Design view.
For more information about logging into the DAC, see Section A.1, "How to Log Into the DAC Client".
Select a container from the drop down list to the right of the Execute button.
Display the 'Source System Parameters' tab.
Locate the following parameters and set the currency code values for them in the 'Value' box:
$$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE (for the document currency).
$$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE (for the local currency).
$$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE (for the global currency).
Make sure that you spell the currencies as they are spelled in your source OLTP system.
Save your changes.
As far as for PLP items, those are Post Load Processing elements that perform cleanup tasks after the Base Warehouse tables have been loaded. They should never be modified and frankly run without any issues provided the rest of the plan executes properly. Do you have a specific quesiton about a PLP?
