What is the road map to start XI

HI Frnds,
Me previously worked on Datawarehousing.Datastage(ETL tool).Now I shifted to XI 4months back.In my company they given a warm up training on XI and some basic scenarios.Now they directly kept me at one interface(project).Ok Iam doing good there.
But what my question is ,what is the actual road map to start the XI like from SLD or Adapter or from Mapping what is the step-by-step learning and what are the essential things I have to know as a SAP XI consultant. And am I want to learn SAP functional to stay at SAP for long run.
So what are the things I have to learn and what are the essentials to be need to stay in SAP XI space for long run?

hi,
<i>But what my question is ,what is the actual road map to start the XI like from SLD or Adapter or from Mapping what is the step-by-step learning and what are the essential things I have to know as a SAP XI consultant</i>
You need to know all of these to become an XI consultatnt in a true sense.
If you ask me , the best way would be to begin by understanding XI architecutre, and then moving on to simple FILE to File scenarios, and then a few complicated ones. After getting a grasp of how XI works, maybe you can visit SLD concepts and understand internally what is happening in XI.
Meanwhile,Following are the links to weblogs which will help to develop the basic scenarios.

  • What is the best way to start "fresh" with iPhoto '08?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a mid-2007 iMac. When I set up the machine, I moved all the photos from my PC to the Mac retaining the existing directory structure that I had on the PC. I then imported all the pictures into iPhoto with no problems.
    Unfortunately, the other person who uses the Mac needs to be able to use the directory structure as it existed on the PC (that structure involves several subfolders with specific names etc.), and it appears that iPhoto is not designed to work that way. I know the photos can still be manipulated in the folders I imported, but then I run the risk of at best, being out of synch with iPhoto and at worst, corrupting iPhoto completely.
    That said, what I would like to do is delete or remove the current iPhoto library (or whatever iPhoto accesses; not the whole application unless necessary) and then selectively import photos to iPhoto. That way, the other user can access the photos in the familiar folder structure and manipulate them at will without disturbing the iPhoto db and, once photos are edited etc. and ready for primetime, they can be imported to iPhoto to gain the advantages of displaying using Front Row etc.
    My question is what is the best way to achieve what I am looking for? Just backup then delete the iPhoto pkg file in the HD/Library/Receipts folder? Uninstall the entire application and start over?
    All assistance greatly appreciated.

    ETRA
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You don't need to re-install iPhoto, just change the library - and you may not even need to do that.
    1. You can easily recreate your Directory structure in iPhoto. Simply start at the bottom of your structure and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane of the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will create an Album of the same name. The create your enclosing folders (File -> New Folder) and drag the albums to it. This way you can quickly recreate what you have/
    2. The other user of the files can access them directly via the iPhoto Window or a Media Browser such as THIS. The advantage of this system is that your directory structure is available to them ina convenient and recognisable way. They can then drag the pics from the iPhoto Window / Media Browser to the app they as the need. (A whole lot faster than fumbling around in Folder after Folder etc, plus the advantage of keyword searching.)
    3. Is this necessary for working with an editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. Btw this is the only way that edits made in iPhoto will be visible in iPhoto.
    4. Finally, if you do wish to go as you described: Simply trash the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder. Start iPhoto and it will create an new empty library. If you wish to recover the files from the Library first, then Right Click on the iPhoto Library and go 'Show Package Contents'. Your files are in the Originals Folder.

  • What is the best way to start SAPGUI in a specific transaction

    Hello,
    What I'm trying to do is to run a Java program that will start SAPGUI (in windows format, not HTML) and present the user with a specific transaction with some data already inserted.
    I already managed to start the SAPGUI and I know how to fill in data using the SapJCo but my question is: what is the best way to navigate to a specific transaction? I can activate an RFC of BAPI_CALL_TRANSACTION but it seems like a big overhead. so, can any of you tell me what is the best way activate a specific transaction in SAPGUI using JCo?
    Thanks,
    Uri Lifshitz.

    Uri
      JCO are mostly used to executed a RFM on the Destination.
      I don't think we could call a Transaction using JCO.
    Thanks

  • I am wanting to build a native mobile app, what is the best programs to start with in CC?

    I see tutorials and have completed some simple app creations using edge animate and phone gap. The app I want to build I would like to have user sign in features, analytic (flurry) integration and use location based features within the app.
    I am fairly new to all this so I am just looking for some suggestions on how to or links for starting points.
    Thanks!

    Lut,
    Welcome to the forum.
    What are the full specs. of your MOD, and M2v files?If you do not know exactly, you can use G-Spot, or MediaInfo, to gather that info.
    That info might help pinpoint the issue.
    Good luck,

  • What are the three steps to start an instance

    To start an instance, what should we do and what’s the meaning of three steps of the oracle instance startup?

    Jau-Wei Ju-Chen,
    Your question is in two parts
    1. To start an instance, what should we do and
    2. What’s the meaning of three steps of the oracle instance startup
    To start Oracle Instance, you would need to do the following
    1. Log in sqlplus as sysdba
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba
    2. You would need to check whether the instance is runing or not. give command
    show sga
    3. If it shows a message "ORACLE not available", then your DB is down and you can issue command
    startup
    This would automatically start the instance (tells Oracle to go through all three stages of the startup process)
    Three steps of the oracle instance startup
    You can also start by giving
    startup nomount;
    alter database mount;
    alter database open;
    1. startup nomount
    This create the SGA. Control file and datafiles are not accessed at this stage. The database is unavailable to the users
    2. alter database mount
    This checks the control file, collects all the information about the DB.. like what all datafiles are there and where they are kept, still the datafiles are not accessed. The database is still unavailable to the users.
    3. alter database open
    Using the control file, Oracle checks SCN on each datafile. If there is a mismatch, then recovery is done from redo-logs. Database is opened. From this point onwards database is available to user. Enteries in the rollback segment are rolled-back after opening the DB.
    Hope this makes it more clear.

  • What is the best approach to start SMP 3.0

    I have experience in BPCS ERP and AS400 (iSeries) programming language. I wanted to move into SAP Mobility. What would be the best approach to start with. Is it directly to learn SMP 3.0 is good??

    Hi Krishna,
    Good to know that you are towards learning SAP Mobility.
    Not sure if you have already read it, SMP 3.0 is an unified product for SUP (Sybase unwired platform), Syclo Agentry and mobilizer. So you have to decide which way you have to proceed.  To understand a bit about each, i would direct you to go though this discussion
    Types of SAP Mobile Technologies
    SAP Mobile App development
    fyi: SMP 3.0 hasn't released in the market, still in Ramp-up process.
    For any query, i would request you to post @ these mobility related forums
    SAP Mobile Platform Developer Center
    SAP for Mobile

    How can i find the URL for the new Nightly start page as i want to use it in the new tab so it is the same as the home page . i use the nightly start page as home page too

    hello caseyvan, "about:home" is the url for the default firefox/nightly start page. you can set that as a new tab page when you can enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url'''. double-click the entry & change it to any site you want to show up on a new tab.

  • What's the right way to start up with Portal's dev?

    Hi to all Portals experts,
    I am really struggling to start up learning Portals and more specific their development.Here is the problem - I am a bit new in the NetWeaver  but not new in J2EE environment. I went trough all WebDynpro tutorials and really the documentation was written nice.Good hands-on approach with lots of examples and that is what I found with WebDynpro - everything well explained step by step.
    But when I started the Portal’s Tutorials I was  a bit disappointed.
    1.First of all, there is no explanation which tools one needs to start up with Portal Dev?
    I only have  SAP Netweaver Development Studio SP15 installed on my PC and I don’t have any access to R/3, CRM or other system. Is this enough to at least start to learn Portal Development or not?
    2. I realize well that at some point I will need real system to play with but , until than what useful practice I can do on my own and how?
    - Even within the WebDynpro tutorial , the very first Part :’ Define a system’ - (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cb/f4bc3d42f46c33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm) -‘In the portal, navigate to System Administration - System Configuration - System Landscape’
    Which Portal ? I don’t have System Administration on my NWDS SP15?Is is something I should install?unclear?
    3. My understanding is that NWDS SP15 contains EP , within its J2EE local engine , but is this EP.6.0, is this enough to develop complete Portal Application A-Z or not - unclear ?
    4.  PDK. Somewhere I read that Portal Application can be developed with either WebDynpro or with PDK. I’ve read about PDK but It is not clear if  it is Dev Kit as its name says , should it be downloaded , installed or imported into NWDS, again? And bottom line do I need PDK as a  Portal Developer, and at which point?
    I only need the starting point for Portal Develop. or some guide that should set milestones 1st ,2nd .. I would prefer the hands-on approach. If some of you  has already taken this path and can help me with your directions, links, at least how to get started, I will highly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!Regards, Bob

    Hi Bob,
    The below reply is as per my experience with Development so far:
    1> It is not necessary to have access to R/3 or any other SAP/non SAP application unless you are writing an application in connection to them.
    Example: An application which is reading data from R/3 and displaying the same in a table. Yes, in this scenario you would require access to R/3.
    2> System Administration is a role just like Home, User Administration, etc in Portal itself.
    It contains all the configuration related to System Landscape, Knowledge Menegement, etc
    If in case you have not been given this role, you may ask your System Administrator to create the required system (PCD Object). You may then use this system from your Profile (Personalize Portal) link directly.
    3> NWDS resides over Portal so you may create your own standalone application or application thats talking to the underlying Portal.
    WebDynpro is used to create UI & likewise you may build Web applications or EJB applications.
    4> PDK stands for Portal Development Kit. YUou may ask your administrator to download and assign the same to you. This would appear as a "Java Developer" named role in your portal. It contains all APIs required for Java development.
    If you do nto have this, you may still use the Javadocs provided on SDN itself.
    Depending what custom developmetn you do, depending upon the type the .par (portal archieve), .ear (Enterprise archieve), .war (web archieve) needs to be deployed in portal, so that users may access/view the custom created data.
    Hope this helps
    All the best!
    Warm Regards,
    Ritu

  • What's the best way to start over?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a new internal HDD to replace my main drive that is failing. Other post of mine detail where I have been with issues but anyway...
    Here is my current HDD set up:
    Bay #1: The failing WD 1 TB Green (10.5.5) which is going back for a refund.
    Bay #2: Newly bought/installed WD 1 TB caviar black.
    Bay #3: Back up WD 1TB Green (10.4.10) that serves as a back up but I am using it to perform the formating at the moment since the other HDDs are unreliable.
    Bay #4: Original WD 250 GB (10.5.5) that came with the MacPro but strated showing signs of failure.
    As soon as I started up the Mac I got a message asking what I wanted to do with the newly installed HDD in Bay #2. I obviously pressed Initialize and Disk Utility openned up.
    I chose the Option to name and to zero out the drive 1st with a 1 pass zero out. I am wondering though, would it have been better to Verify and Repair the new Disk 1st before zeroing it out with Disk Utility?

    Hi hatter,
    Ok. So I slept on it...Sometimes a rest, a fresh point of view or a renewal of patience can help not to give up...
    Here is what I did this morning:
    1) Tried booting from last night's Cloned main drive again but OS X 10.5.5 still won't boot from the new WD 1 TB Caviar Black (10.5.5) - Endless swirling wheel and aternating blue and light blue screen.
    2) I did a cold shut down again.
    3) I did a little swich in the drive bays:
    Bay# 1: WD 1 TB Black Caviar (10.5.5 - not booting)
    Bay# 2: WD 500 GB Caviar SE16 (10.4.10 - partitionned in 1/2 to hold Windows XP on the 2nd partition).
    Bay# 3: WD 1 TB Green (10.4.10 - backup boot drive)
    Bay# 4: WD 250 GB Caviar (10.5.5 - original drive that came with the MacPro but started the hole failing issues and was the main drive with all apps and files)
    4) I booted into Windows XP and used WD Lifeguard Diagnostics Utility and it reported that all drives are OK. But they're not !!! Argh !
    5) For the heck of it, I tried booting into the original failing WD 250 GB Caviar (10.5.5) that holds all original apps and folders, and I got in...*** !!!
    6) I booted back into the WD 1 TB Green back up drive (10.4.10) and decided to try and SuperDuper the original failing 250 GB drive to clone it onto the WD 1 TB Caviar Black and erasing the previous trial. It took about 1 1/2 hour.
    7) I booted into the Black drive again and I finally got in!!! Can I trust this?

    Hi Zack
    Start with a blank piece of paper and draw out what you think will look ok in terms of the relationships between the data sets you have and a basic structure on areas for controls and areas for visualisations.   Then create this mock up using tables/charts etc.  Try to select charts which fit the data you have, see [here|http://media.juiceanalytics.com/downloads/graphselectionmatrix_sfew.pdf]
    Take it to your user group and discuss, and enjoy the many iterations that follow

  • What's the best place to start troubleshooting my Xserve RAID problem

    Hello all,
    I have an older 2.5tb (ide drives) Xserve RAID connected to an HP workstation, which is a video editing sytem. The fiber card connecting the raid is an LSI 7202XP PCI-x card.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro. Nothing on the hardware or software side has been updated or changed in years.
    Recently, I'll be editing video and the Xserve RAID will just "disappear". A computer restart will usually restore it.
    Where's a good place to start troubleshooting? I was going to replace the fiber cables, then the fiber card...then I don't know what.
    I'm just an end user/video editor, so any maintenance help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jason Kalinoski
    Tallahassee, FL

    Normally, it should take less than an hour @ $90 USD for labor to replace one. The HD cost is additional. Why do you think the HD needs replacing? Too small?.Then I suggest an ext FWHD, w/FW800 connector, rather than replacing the int one. If there are issues with the HD, check out the iMac HD replacement program. You should really know when you bought the machine and, IMO, it should have the AppleCare Protection Plan, which is the cheapest insurance policy for desktop machines.

  • What are the weird files that start with ._ that pc users get when I send zips?

    When I send files that I zip using Stuiffit to pc users they get the files plus an equal number of files that start with ._ Does anybody know what these are and how to get rid of them?
    Thanks!
    Karen

    Dot files are invisible files that OS X uses to display positions of files and folders icon for instance when you open a folder.
    That is indeed what a .DS_Store file does, but that's not the ones Bogies is referring to.
    There are various other items that start with a period, such as .Trashes. Every drive gets a trash folder, just as Windows does to each of its drives. While it hides its own trash folders from view, Windows doesn't recognize OS X's version of the trash folder, so you see it.
    But you're likely talking about these. Every file you copy from OS X to a DOS/Windows formatted drive gets a ._ file. The Mac OS has a twin file system; the data fork, and the resource fork. Windows has only a data fork.
    In order for OS X to maintain the resource fork data on a Windows drive, it has to write the resource data as a separate data fork file. So a file named foo.tif will also get a ._foo.tif file on the drive. Mac users don't see them since UNIX automatically hides anything that starts with a period. When you copy the file back to OS X, the data and resource fork info is combined again into a normal Mac file.
    Most of the time, removing these are no big deal. They hold simple data like Type and Creator codes, modification dates, icons, etc. Others, like Mac Type 1 PostScript or Mac legacy TrueType fonts have all of the font data in the resource fork. Delete the ._ files for those types of fonts, and you're left with nothing.

  • What is the pin map for chip select on LM3S8962 for "ARM SPI Create Configuration Reference.vi" ? (0 through n)

    Hello All,
    When the LM3S8962 is the master, what pin is used when chip
    select is the default (0), or another value ?
    Despite this question being asked a few ways in the forums,
    NI's "ARM SPI Create Configuration Reference.vi" documentation
    for chip select is unclear.
    TI's manual is no help for NI's implementation of chip select.
    NI's help for the above subvi seems not only too generic (perhaps
    written for the SDK ?),  but erroneous in that it reads:
    "chip select specifies the chip select line to assert during the
    SPI transfer. The chip select line must connect to the EEPROM
    on the
    microcontroller. Refer to the documentation for the SPI
    device for information
    about chip select lines."
    This is useless as the ARM microcontroller has no EEPROM and 
    the SPI slave device documentation only covers its own pins.
    The hope is to have more than one slave on the LM3S8962's single SPI bus,
    without chewing up a additional pin using elemental I/O like the splendid forum
    examples for ADC's and DAC's.  This would save diagram real estate compared
    with two sequence frames that are typically shown toggling a elemental I/O digital
    output before and after writing and/or reading from the slave.   It also would clarify
    what on chip resource trade offs there are for each chip select number chosen.
    (as most pins have multiple possible functions)
    Thanks in advance for any light on this.   Please don't post info on other processors
    to this thread as this taints future searches on this issue with this tier 1 target.
    Best,
    Davy

    Hi Davy,
    While doing research on this question, I was informed that you have been working with a colleague of mine, Joel, via email for this same question. So that we do not have multiple engineers working on the same issue, Joel will be your point of contact for this issue. I ask that when you have come to a resolution, that you post that resolution here so that other customers can reference this information.
    Thanks!

    Customers can't create new folders under the Public branch.  Generally it isn't a huge problem to put your own images into the SAP folders, although keep in mind that they can be delete or overwritten during an upgrade and you might have to replace them or rename them at that point.
    Everytime you create a BSP or Web Dynpro application you basically have a custom Mime folder.  You can always set the logon information for this folder to embed a user name and password into that note.  If you only have static images in this node and not any actually applications then you souldn't run into any licesnsing problems.
