Total beginners guide

I am interested in SAP BI and installed the trial version of Netweaver 2004s with BI.
I wanted to play a bit around with info cubes etc and see what SAP BI can do. But I am already stuck at a very beginners point: no logical system
And the standard users ddic etc do not have the privileges to create on.
Is there somewhere a beginners guide to SAP in general and SAP BI in special?
A quick how-to for a quick success and merely for try-out!
Thanks in advance for your help,
Karsten.

There is a lot of documentation on SDN, Please go through these presentations & screencams which will give you clear idea of NW 2004s...

  • [SOLVED] Beginners' Guide stumped on pacman -Syyu curl

    I'm a total green noob on Arch and am going through the Beginners' Guide. I'm on the section about rankmirrors and am at pacman -Syyu curl and am getting the following:
    Is this normal? Is this the part where I continue to edit my mirrorlist and comment and uncomment servers until I don't get the Unauthorized error any longer?
    Thanks.

    If you're new to Arch don't you think that sticking to basic bulletproof setup would be wise and then learn new stuff? If you try all things that are not necessary there is high risk of breaking system and you wont even have a clue where start to look for solution. Back in my first days with Arch I didn't even consider such things like mirror rank - goal was to setup working system. My advice is - choose manually mirror that have low sync delay from http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and focus on major things. Good luck and feel welcome on the forum

    Again - pick rit or kernel.org mirror - you can be pretty sure they are working right now, for troubleshooting you can even choose archlinux.org (but change it for real usage) find out if it's not the http/ftp thing like people earlier noticed and work the problem with your configuration, the problem is not mirror choosing

  • Could anyone point me to a beginners guide to code in XCode?

    I am going to learn how to code, and I am using the lastest version of xCode.
    If someone could point me to a guide for total beginners, that would very helpful to  me!

    http://www.raywenderlich.com/ - Sign up for his free monthly newsletter (sidebar on the right) and you get a free copy of The iOS Apprentice - Part 1. He also has a lot of other free tutorials posted there as well. Highly recommended, I'm working through some of them right now!

  • Arch Linux Beginners Guide

    Remembering the days when I installed Arch Linux for the first time I still feel that Arch misses a guide for beginners. I started one at the Wiki. Its intention is to show how you install and configure Arch Linux until you have a fully working desktop system for multimedia and office purpose. I'm still heavily improving it. If you have any suggestions or critics feel free to drop me a note or add the content to the wiki. If you find some spelling or grammar errors do the same or fix them, I'm no native speaker

    iphitus wrote:article is too big. provide links to existing wiki pages and documentation. If things change and you dont know, your article will be broken.
    Sure...but you will have this problem with all wiki pages. If you don't have a maintainer for bigger articles, the whole idea of the wiki won't work well.
    iphitus wrote:For example, change the install documentation to the install guide. Same goes for network, link to existing pages, and if there isnt one, create one.
    I disagree with this one. I personally like the idea of having one basic guide which will led in most cases to a fully working system and does not stop right after the installation, which will leave you with a single prompt. I tried to explain the "basic things" and give links for digging deeper (I may have failed at this, but I tried and will try again).
    Therefore you are right about linking, but as you may have seen I tried to link to existing pages if they exist and give more than just a basic information. As far as I know no install guide for voodoo exists yet.
    What I really don't want to do, is to create just a meta page that only links to other pages, for three reasons:
    * It's annoying to read if you have to follow a link, get back and follow the next link...
    * Because there is no single maintainer for all the sub pages, you can only link to pages that are known stable, otherwise the beginner will be totally lost fast
    * Some of the other pages are way too technically for a beginner, they quickly start with special things for exotic purposes (mainly because experienced people don't like writing about basic things I believe)
    iphitus wrote:Some of it seems a bit overkill too, you give a newbie style how to for tiny things, but completely gloss over even a basic description of what the "daemons line" is. Newbies using this beginners guide learn bugger all, as they just copy from the beginner guide. When things go wrong, they come to the forums rather than use initiative. I guess the installation and configuration acts as a form of natural selection.
    I think we have a different opinion how a wiki works, I always thought you start with something and improve it over time, when questions or suggestions arrive.
    A wiki will get better if more than one people is involved, therefore sharing and discussing at an early point of time is reasonable.
    On the other hand you are absolutely right about the daemons line, which should be explained for a beginner (EDIT: I added a paragraph about daemons a few moments ago).
    But I think differently about the natural selection. I never felt that Arch Linux aims to be an elitist distribution and that an acceptance test is needed if you want to use it...what I have seen from the community so far, Arch seems in fact to be the opposite. I like Arch for being clean, simple and logical constructed, not for being complicated. I'm too old to get     self-confidence just from installing an operating system.
    If users use the forum to ask the same questions again and again, our beginners guide is incomplete and we should fix it.
    iphitus wrote:Things like:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … or_newbies
    and a better FAQ, would be more useful than yet another blow by blow install tutorial that falls out of date in 6 months.
    James
    This may not be representative, but a better FAQ and Jargon for Newbies (damn, I really love this elite attitude ) wouldn't helped him:
    Someone at my blog wrote:Thanks for the guide! I tried installing Arch over Christmas and had the worst time trying to figure that out. So I of course went back to my trusty Gentoo. I always liked Gentoo because even though its an "advanced distro" they provide you with plenty of documentation. Arch on the other hand does not and that really bothered me. But now that I have a Gentoo style guide, I think I'll try it again!
    Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your criticism because it makes me think twice about some things and will most probably lead to a better guide.

  • [SOLVED] Configure The System (Beginners Guide) Question

    Hello!
    I'm currently working my way through the beginners guide, from the wiki.  All going ok so far and I've reached the Configure The System section. Which is where I'm a bit stuck.
    Beginners Guide wrote:You will be presented with a menu including the most important configuration files for your system. If you want to look up the available options as stated in /etc/rc.conf just press Alt+F2 to get a shell, look it up, and switch back to the installer with Alt+F1.
    The problem I have is looking up the available options. For example, to find my locale it states I should run locale -a, however when I hit Alt+f2 and enter the command at the bash shell ([Arch Linux: /]# ) I get the following error
    -bash: locale: command not found
    When I attempt to lookup other items I'm also unable to find those (such as timezone in /usr/share/zoneinfo).
    Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong, I'm missing something very obvious here, but sadly I just can't work it out!

    I wouldn't skip all of the steps, particularly adding your hostname to /etc/hosts. Just fill in as much as you can, and edit the rest after you've finished installing, though I think the defaults are safe enough to have a running system.
    If you typed in 'km' and chose your locale before you ran the /arch/setup command to start the installation, it should automatically enter in the locale you selected earlier (if you press yes in the dialog box that pops up).
    Confirm this as that's what happended in this location on 2 recent install.

  • [Solved] Mounting Partitions from Beginners Guide

    Hi everyone. I've setup Arch before, but I see that the installer has been removed. I had a question on some of the documentation from the Beginners Guide...
    From the section "Prepare the storage drive" it states to setup the partitions like so:
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
    sda1 Boot Primary Linux 15440
    sda2 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1024
    sda3 Primary Linux 133000*
    In the section below it ("Mount the partitions ") it explains to "mount any other separate partition" like so:
    # mkdir /mnt/home
    # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home
    # mkdir /mnt/boot
    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
    However, I set my partitions up just how it was above, when I put in the syntax "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home" I receive an error that sda4 doesn't exist. Using my best judgement I put in "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home" as I set my partitions exactly the way from the storage drive section (minus some storage space for sda3). I'd just like to be sure that I set this up right and not doing anything extremely wrong. For some reason, Arch won't boot after I have the system setup in virtualbox, and I'm trying to narrow down the issue.
    Thanks.

    It says to do that if you have any additional partitions.  You do not.
    Sda3 should not be mounted as home, it should be your root partition right?  You should have already done
    mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
    You should not remount sda3 as something else (in fact I suspect it should give an error).
    That partition scheme does not have a separate home parition.
    Cool, thanks for the info. Yeah, sda3 is set as my root partition. It's solved.

  • Intepreting the beginners guide on UEFI

    hi..
    perhaps someone could clarify for me the meaning on the following text on the beginners guide.
    under Gumminboot instructions it states:
    You will need to manually create a configuration file to add an entry for Arch Linux to the gummiboot manager. Create /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf and add the following contents, replacing /dev/sdaX with your root partition, usually /dev/sda2:
    followed by the command line:
    # nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
    followed by the text:
    title          Arch Linux
    linux          /vmlinuz-linux
    initrd         /initramfs-linux.img
    options        root=/dev/sdaX rw
    Am I meant to write the above four lines into the menu/screen that opens?
    I suspect there may have been an earlier instances where the same 'instruction' was given but as it's not implicit .. it wasn't done.
    similarly I get the following error message on attempting to install gummiboot
    File System /boot is not a fat EFI system Partition (ESP) file system.
    Now I have windows 8 and lubuntu currently installed and they were loading prior to start of this Arch install from a Fat 32 drive labelled /boot/efi.
    I wasn't however sure (as the instruction wasn't clear in the installation guide) but was I meant to format a new efi boot or just mount the existing..
    I mounted the existing as I was assuming that the ESP is basically a list of boot loaders and I didn't want to lose the win8 just yet.
    anymore useful suggestions?
    regards
    malcolm
    I further suspect that this install isn't going too well....
    regards

    with respect any installation I do is only as good as the tutorial I am using. I have in the past installed moderately complex set ups only 6-12 months later unable to repeat the exercise because the same tutorial is not available. and therein lies the problem.. I like many perform installations at this depth too infrequently to retain the method and thus rely entirely on tutorials.
    However the real problem is the 'black box' the bios has become as a consequence of UEFI.. and that's down to a complete lack of documentation (not a linux issue but a PC manufacturers or a failure of to provide documentation) ... one is extremely cautious to do anything that might corrupt the UEFI and require a back to base exercise for the electric brick that might result.
    With that in mind I rebooted the PC and whilst no Arch both the win8 and lubuntu partitions and bootloaders were unaffected.. so at least I can repeat my errors to date without destroying my machine (assuming that's possible)...
    we will get there in the end and whilst it may not be the walk in the park I'd like it to be .. I will hopefully get a linux OS running that uses all the hardware available and has just the nec configuration to run the programs and local server set up I want...
    back to square one in the morning...

  • Promote unetbootin on the beginners guide?

    Hi All,
    In the beginners guide, there are instructions to make a bootable USB drive.
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … #USB_stick
    Would it be a good idea to add instructions for unetbootin?
    http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
    The only problem I have encountered using unetbootin is that it has an outdated version of arch in it's distribusion list:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/unetbootin/+bug/318724
    The work around is to download the .iso file manually and feed it to unetbootin.
    Sorry for my language, I'm tired
    Best regards,

    Strange, I have installed arch just fine using netbootin and an iso image.

  • Beginners guide to PowerPivot data models

    Hi,
    I've been using PowerPivot for a little while now but have finally given into the fact that my lack of knowledge about data modelling is causing me all kinds of problems.
    I'm looking for recommendations on where I should start learning about data modelling for Powerpivot (and other software e.g. Tablea, Chartio etc). By data modelling I mean how I should best organise all the data that I want to analyse which is coming fomr
    multiple sources. In my case my primary sources right now are:
    Our main MySQL database
    Google Analytics Data
    Google Adwords data
    MailChimp data
    Various excels
    I have bought two books - "Dax Formulas for PowerPivot" which is great but sparse on data modelling information and "Microsoft Excel 2013 - Building Data Models with PowerPivot" which looks excellent but starts of at I believe too advanced
    a level.
    Where should a beginner with no experience of data modelling, but intermediate/advanced experience of Excel go to learn skills for PowerPivot Data modelling?
    By far the main issues is that our MySQL databases are expansive and include hundreds of tables across multiple databases and we need to be able to utilise data from all of them. I imagine that I somehow need to come up with a intermediary layer between
    the Databases and Powerpivot which extracts and flattens the main data into fewer more important tables, but would have no idea how to do this.
    Also to be clear, I am not looking at ways of modelling the MySQL database itself - our developers are happy with the database relationships etc, it just the modelling of that data within PowerPivot and how to best import that data.
    Recommendations would be absolutely brilliant, its a fantastic product but right now I'm struggling to make the most of it.

    Thanks for the recommendations, I am aware of the last two of those and
    http://www.powerpivotpro.com/ in particular has proved very useful (TechNet less so). 
    I will take a look at SQLBI in more detail but from a very casual browse it seems like this too is targeted more at experienced users. There paid courses may definitely prove useful though.
    I think what I'm getting at is that there are probably an increasing number of people like myself who have fallen into PowerPivot without a traditional background in databases and data modelling. In my case I have a small business of
    15 employees and we were using Excel and PivotTables to do some basic analysis before soon discovering that our data was too complicated and that I needed something. PowerPivot definitely seems to solve that issue and I'm having much
    better success now than I was without. I also feel quite competent with DAX and actually building tables from the PowerPivot data model.
    What I'm lacking in is the very first step of cleaning and preparing raw data for import and then importing it into Powerpivot and setting up a efficient model. I have to be honest that your links above did bring
    PowerQuery to my attention and it seems like a brilliant tool and one of the missing links. I would however still like to see a beginners guide to data import and model set-up as I don't think I've yet come across one either in book or
    online form which explains the fundamentals well.
     

  • Beginners Guide

    Hi all!
    First off, I'd like to congratulate the Arch team on doing a superb job in creating this distribution.
    I've installed Archlinux for the first time following the Beginners Guide and thought it might be helpful to point out a few mistakes (to me its a mistake - if not - then I'm sorry)
    In section 2.4 - documentation it says
    Change to vc/2 with <ALT>+F1 and invoke /usr/bin/less
    I believe it should have read
    Change to vc/2 with <ALT>+F1 and invoke /bin/less
    basically - take out "/usr" part.
    In section 2.10.4 - /etc/fstab where it gives you the code to list partitions by uuid
    As per the documentation - it gives
    ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/
    to me - it should have said
    ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id
    That's it!  Other than the above - excellent documentation and I look forward to learning more and hopefully be able to contribute to Arch by helping others.

    Duologic wrote:crackerjack: I think it was with ALT + F2, and if you think there is a mistake in the guide, then edit it on the wiki. :-)
    I don't think beginners should be encouraged to change the Beginners Guide before the "mistake" has been confirmed by other users. I think crackerjack's idea to double-check first on the forum is a very sensible idea.
    Let us not forget this incident either.

  • Beginners Guide Improvement

    I just installed Archlinux and stumbled over two issues following the Beginners Guide.
    No big deal, but still worth to mention, i think.
    I don't feel comfortable as a new user to edit the Beginners Guide myself and therefore
    discuss these issues here first.
    I did read the Beginners Guide while installing. When it came to configure the Xserver,
    i chose the Nvidia driver and configured it immediadiately. It complaint that there was
    no xorg.conf. The xorg.conf will be generated later, following the tutorial. I think this
    should be rearranged somehow.
    The second issue is that after executing nvidia-xconfig, it suggests to start the xserver
    to see if everything works properly, which it didn't, because hal wasn't installed nor
    configured yet, follwing the Beginners Guide. This let me to fiddle around with it a bit
    and several annoying restarts, before i decided to just go on with the Guide, to find
    a good reason why it didn't just worked then. I think there should be a warning not
    to start X after nvidia-xconfig.

    It sounds like you failed to follow the guide, but I am having a difficult time understanding what you want changed. If you followed the order of the guide, wouldn't it have worked out properly?

  • Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features

    Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features needed
    Hi,
    In most wiki pages i just edit the things that i think need editing. Just look at the oss history
    In all those cases i didn't really saw a need to ask for permission.. that would kinda destroy the wiki idea.
    However i want to change the sound instructions in the beginners guide so i made a copy of the entire guide and the part that i changed there is: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Use … ling_Sound now i have a slight issue there. As you can see i'm in favor of OSS and because you can spot that it's not objective. Now i would ask 2 things.
    1. Could you all post your features of OSS and ALSA
    2. Once that's done can i have permission to place that section in the beginners guide? that will also include removing the sound installation from the beginners guide which i already did in my version
    My personal reason to do this. i've read this  and am since then pro OSS and against the ALSA/PulseAudio combo. i think that combo needs to get out of linux (most notably Fedora and Ubuntu) ASAP. and oss needs to go back into the linux kernel
    Thank you for your time,
    Mark

    I'm an alsa/pulse user, so I'll give a bit of the 'other side'.
    Alsa/pulse
    Pros:-
    network sound
    advanced connection of sink/source (including merging sinks)
    bluetooth support!
    highly supported by existing apps, either through directly supporting Pulse or through its alsa plugin (you should not need to recompile properly-written apps which do not assume they should write audio data directly to hardware, I think I only needed to recompile mpd on my system)
    Cons:-
    Setup isn't the easiest. Can't comment vs OSS4 because I haven't tried it
    OSS4
    Pros:-
    Everyone seems to say sound quality is better. I guess that's because they're comparing it with dmix alsa. Use pulse with alsa and you should not notice any difference in sound quality though.
    Cons:-
    Most apps nowadays default output to alsa. Meaning OSS plays them using an alsa plugin.
    USB support is admittedly skimpy.
    EDIT: Having read the sound article you referred to, my only comment is that the writer really has it in for Pulse... 3 seconds latency, where'd he get that from? I use pulse for audio recording (when I'm lazy to fire up JACK) and while there IS latency, its definitely in the ms range.
    Thanx for the input

    If your stream sounds ugly in totem like it did with me then you could try to play it with another codec like ffmpeg (mplayer). That "fixed" the issue for me. This will not fix the issue that somehow pops up in gstreamer when playing MMS streams but it will give you the option to play it with good sound quality. Playing it in mplayer is simple:

    Could you fix this?  ffmpeg is not a codec .  Also define ugly, and what is somehow?

    For libflashsupport on the same page you linked it clearly states:
    #  Flash V9 and V10 require libflashsupport to output sound via OSS. Typically a 32-bit version of the library is required.
    # Flash V10 has a 64-bit version which requires a 64 bit libflashsupport.
    Also i tested it with and without libflashsupport. On archlinux (x64 running here) there most certainly is a need for libflashsupport when you want to have sound in your flash. And yes i tested the archlinux OSS version and the mercurial version (running now) bith need it  installed manually! On my pc sound in flash didn't work without it but did with it. So, no not removing from the wiki as it's needed. But i see you removed it for me! please do NOT do that if you didn't even verified it. I use flash 10 x64 and i need it!
    As for the ffmpeg "codec" changed it to backend.
    And i did get the microphone working near perfect: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=13192
    Now for some news you all might like.
    On my school i need to do an investigation to whatever i want and i'm heavily thinking about investigating the pros/cons of alsa compared to oss (or oss compared to alsa). That investigation will take from monday next week till next mondey till friday 23 of oktober. In that investigation i'm going to do some in depth look of alsa and oss and that will include the usability as well.
    Following up on that investigation i will spend another 8 weeks on my school making a volume control application that can be used with alsa and oss and easily expandable with other sound systems. The goal of this is to make one sound application that can manage (in the first place) alsa and oss. oss is going to be implemented and alsa is probably going to be dummy implemented because it's likely way to much for me to implement both.
    Before you get to exited, both projects (investigating and making the application) are just made up today and i just don't know if both will get accepted by my school. I asked one teacher and he liked the idea a lot and could potentially have a value for the sound management under linux. Once i do get this started i will involve the community (YOU!) with this since this project can't be done without the community specially the investigation.
    And once i start and have something to tell/ask i will blog about it on http://blog.mageprojects.com
    edit::
    And this idea already got dumped. read more a few posts down or click: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 34#p612634
