1 requisition to be sourced by first internally else external supplier

Hi,
I have a typical requirement wherein an employe raises a requisition for 5 items, so the system should look for availability in warehouse, if say 2 items found then Internal issue should be made and balance 3 number should be obtained from external supplier.
I am only using OM and INV and PO modules. No MRP/ASCP.
Is this functionality possible by automation?
Need your feedback ASAP.
Thanks
Supriya

There is no out of the box functionality in OM/INV for this.
I can suggest following personalization as a work around.
1) Create a when-validate-record personalization on the PO Req lines
2) The personalization fires if the req. type = purchase
3) The personalization checks if onhand exists in other orgs and displays a the onhand quantity and the name of the other org as a message of type = show.
4) The user changes the req. type to Internal if appropriate.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Internal and External sources for OBIEE

Hi,
When we say OBIEE can integrates data feeds from internal and external sources..what exactly does this mean. Can OBIEE even do that? Thanks

Hi,
We have a requirement where the data sources are from internal and external sources. I was not sure of it too and so raised the question on forums. I am assuming internal sources would be Oracle etc within the system and external would be out of the application. Not sure exactly what is meant by it.

Best way to change iProc default for Internal vs External Source

We are using iProc for items that are available both from external suppliers and internal warehouses. Unfortunately, our sourcing rules are set up such that the source defaults to external even if the item is available internally. We cannot set up our sourcing rules to generate a default source of Internal but the business "requires" that the default source is Internal (so long as the item is available internally - it needs to be External if it is not available internally). I have dug around in the code and I cannot see a nice way of customising the pages to achieve that.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, have you been able to change the default?

Unfortunately, it is very specific to iProcurement - when you add an Item to the Requisition Shopping Cart, it needs to know the source of the item for the Requisition (whether it is internal from existing warehouse stock or external from a supplier) - this is the "Source" that I am talking about.
There are at least four different pages that have functionality to add items to the shopping cart (all in the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping or oracle/apps/icx/por/reqmgmt packages).
When adding to the cart, it is creating an oracle/apps/icx/por/schema/server/PoRequisitionLineEO object, but with the exception of one of the pages, the field is populated by a default.
Where there is a choice of sources, the user can explicitly select them on the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping/webui/SelectSourcePG page, but from what we can see, the same logic to set the default on this page is what is used if the user doesn't go to the page.
This SelectSourcePG uses the oracle/apps/icx/icatalog/shopping/server/SelectSourceSvrCmd class to populate and default this page. The basic default (internal or external) is driven off the logic in the POR_AUTOSOURCE_UTIL_PKG.AUTOSOURCE stored PL/SQL Packaged Procedure. This procedure queries the Purchasing Sourcing Rules and for our data (unfortunately) this always returns a default External source.
Based on your answer to my other post, I will try a warning message on the creation of the entity object and see how that goes.

Can i edit a synched video from plural eyes in the source window first?

I synched my audio and video files in plural eyes which gave me a synched fill or sequence which is great, but I really want to edit it in the source window before putting it into the Program window. How can I edit it in the source window first?

You mean trim it? Like grabbing a certain section of the syned clip?
If so, bring it up on the source monitor, go to your in point and click "I" and then go to your out point and click "O". Then grab the preview image and drag it to your timeline. You can also press "," or "." to bring it down there.

You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?

I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?

I strongly advise against upgrading the OS without first making a backup. Were something to go wrong you would lose all your files without the backup. See:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Delivery report shows status of Pending for external address. Email sent to both internal and external addresses.

We have an Exchange 2013 on-premise server and seem to have an issue with emails sent to internal and external users at the same time.
The issue came to light because someone sent an email to 44 recipients, of which one was internal. None of the external recipients received the email. I checked the delivery report in the EAC and found the internal email marked as 'Delivered' and all of
the external ones marked as 'Pending'. I checked the queues and there were none. I did some testing and sent an email to just one of the external addresses on the list, it arrived. I tried sending the email again to all of the recipients, the external ones
all showed 'Pending'. I tried it again, but this time excluded the internal email address and all of the 43 external emails were immediately delivered.
So it seems that the issue only arises when we are sending to both internal and external addresses.
I then tried a test email to one internal address and one external address. The Delivery report says that the internal address was delivered immediately, while the external address is 'Pending' and gives more information saying: 'Message delivery is taking
longer than expected. There may be system delays. For more information, contact your helpdesk.'. To add further mystery to this, the email was actually delivered.
So, I have two concerns:
First is seems that some emails sent both internally and externally are only arriving internally. This is a huge problem because I don't know how many have been affected. There may be many lost emails we don't know about.
Second, it looks like I can't trust the delivery report. It says pending for some emails which didn't arrive, but it also says pending for some which did arrive. That is no good at all.
For info the server is running Windows Server 2012. I have run a Microsoft Update to check if there are any to apply and the only Exchange one is a spam filter update, which I doubt has any bearing but I will apply when I get chance.

Hi Neil,
According to the description, I find a related KB on Exchange 2010:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694474?wa=wsignin1.0
It has the similar situation as yours.
This issue occurs because a function in a message tracking component tries to obtain the information for the recipient instead of the external recipient.
Please try to upgrade to the latest Exchange update to check whether this issue can be solved.
Also please check whether Throttling has been set.
Please run "Get-TransportService | fl" to check the MaxOutboundConnections parameter value.

Can I split my itunes music library between and internal and external hard drive?

Is it possible to have music on the two different drives and still be able to make playlists from both drives to put on my ipod? Here's my situation: I'm using a Dell 32 bit computer running Vista Home Premium SP2 which I share with other users. I have a large itunes library (40g+ of music only) that's starting to hog the hard disk space from other users. If possible, I would like to split off part of my itunes library to an external hard drive while still having access to the entire library for my ipod. Ideally I would like to have all my downloaded songs on both the internal and external drives so I'll have backups in case a drive fails, while putting all the music I have hard copies of solely on the external drive. Any help on how this can be done would be appreciated.

If you manually manage your itues library, you can store parts of it on an external drive, or on an internal drive. Just keep in mind that in iTunes that you must set a default location for iTunes to manage it's files, and that will be the default location for iTunes to store anything it downloads. You would need to manuay manage moving things from there if tht is not where you want them stored.
Perhaps a "better" solution would be for you to invest a little mone into 2 external drives. One to hold your entire iTunes library, and the second to be your off-line backup of the first. This is the method I have gone with and I like how it works for me. My entire iTunes library is on an external (portable) 320GB drive. Then, when iTunes is not running, I will clone my external drive onto a second drive I happen to have, this way if I have any failure of my primary drive, I lose at most about a weeks worth of content. For me, I purchase little content during a week, but I do move a fairly large volume of podcasts. With the entire library being on the external drive, if I ever have to swap to using my backup drive iTunes wil just think that it hasn't run and downloaded anything for a week, and all the "lost" content will be re-downloaded automatically. This won't work for apps or purchased content, but for subscribed podcasts, it is great.

SharePoint 2013 - Office Web Apps - Internal and External Use

I have successfully installed SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps on Azure VMs inside an Azure Virtual Network (IaaS model). Everyting is working well. However, my testing has shown that external users and internal users can't use Office Web Apps at the
same time.
Office Web Apps, installed on its own vm, accomodates an external and internal URL quite well. However, SharePoint 2013 appears to only allow one setting for WOPI Zone, either internal or external but not both. I've set the WOPI zone to Internal-HTTPS (Set-SPWOPIZone
–Zone “internal-https”). OWA works just fine if accessed from inside the Azure Virtual Network. However, if I try to access from outside the Virtual Network, from the Internet, Office Web Apps fails. The exact oppisite is also true. I can set WOPI Zone to
External-HTTPS and accessing from the Internet works fine, but accessing inside the Virtual Network fails.
Am I missing something? I, obviously, want Office Webs Apps to function properly for both internal and external users simultaneously.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide here.

Hi Glenn,
To have both the use of Internet and Internal available to your end-users, you first need to configure AAM setting. Open Central Administration > Application Management > Configure alternate access mappings. Let's say there is an existing web application
named http://sharepoint and my end-users from local network are able to access it using the URL http://sharepoint (root site collection). Here you need to add the Internet URL by select the web application and click Edit Public URLs. Add the Internet domain
to the web application, e.g http://sharepoint.abc.com. You don't necessarily have to edit binding setting in IIS. Before continuing next steps, make sure you are able to access http://sharepoint.abc.com from the Internet while being able to access http://sharepoint
from local network (aka Internal).
On the machine where Office Web App (OWA) Server 2013 is installed, open PowerShell to add OWA module and use the following command to re-create a new OWA server farm if you've completed configuring it previously.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://owa" -ExternalUrl "http://owa.abc.com" -EditingEnabled.
In this case, I'm not using SSL certificate to encrypt data over the Internet. You can use Internet-public IP of the OWA server like -ExternalUrl "http://198.xxx.xxx.xx". Add CertifcateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate.
On your SharePoint machine, you need to re-bind all WFE machines to WAC farm using the cmdlet New-SPWOPIBinding. Next, you need to set the WOPI zone for both internal and external.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-http"
Note: I'm not all using certificate in my guidance. But the steps to have it configured is just to add more parameter.
I've recently successfully deployed OWA multi-server farm for both internal and internet uses for two big clients. In real-world scenario, ideally OWA should be published through firewall (Forefront UAG, TMG, F5...etc). Please let me know if you still have
issues after following my steps. My email: [email protected]

IMac - internal or external DVD?

iMac - internal or external DVD? That is the question...
Can you install a normal DVD burner in an iMac 800MHz flat panel?
If so, can anyone advice on the technical proceedure?
If installing an internal drive is easy enough to do, can you please advise on types, makes or specs to install.
My current DVD drive runs slow and I'd like a DVD burner, so is a seperate external drive the better option?
External drives just seem so expensive. THANK YOU!

Hello,
Internal.
Most replacement optical drives should work under Tiger fine. If not Patchburn will be the driver you need.
Most of us have Pioneer 'superdrives' installed by Apple so it seems sensible to stick with that product line.
The DVR-112 (18x DVD±RW DL for £21) seems a good deal to me (plus and hour or two of your time).
It's pretty fiddly to work inside an iMac G4 so you must be cautious. Always take anti-static precautions. Here are three options for guiding you through the procedure:
MacWorld
xlr8yourmac
Service Manuals
I've also taken a fair few photos which you can find here.
I'd advise reading the reports on the xlr8yourmac drive database so get other people's experiences first.
You must replace the Thermal Paste when you close the iMac up or it will overheat.
It's probably worth replacing the PRAM Battery whilst you're in there as these have a finite life (once they fail to re-charge you may start to run in to snags - it's only a £5 part).
External.
A whole lot less effort to install and should you upgrade to an Intel iMac / Mac Mini/ MacBook in the future you'll have access to this faster desktop spec tray loading drive rather than the slow laptop spec slot drive installed in these current Macs.
Let us know how you get on/what you decide.

SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals

Hi ,
We are in development phase for SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals.The proposed dual authentication scheme which requires both SiteMinder for External facing portal (EFP) and LDAP for Internal portal .is it possible?
and is it possible to main to diff LDAP directories one is external users and one is for internal users.?
If you maintain 2 diff(external & internal) LDAP Directories in Siteminder Policy Server what about external users which are not exit in portal data source .
I appreciate if anyone can help me for my above query .
Regards
Tag

Hey Tag,
We do have a physical external Portal and a physical internal portal. The both the external and internal are connected to 2 LDAP directories.
For example the External Portal is connected to the Employee LDAP Direcotry and the Customer LDAP Directory. The Internal Portal is connected to the US Employee LDAP Direcotry and the EMEA LDAP Directory.
So each one of them is connected to 2 different LDAP Directories.
I believe that the Siteminder Policy is setup such that the Internal portal has a policy and the External portal has a seperate policy on the same Siteminder Server. Then each of the Policies is configured to connect to the approiate LDAP Directories.
You have to maintain the LDAP Directory information in both the portal and Siteminder Policy Server. It is required in the policy server so that it can authenticate the user and it is required in the Portal server so that it can authorize the user and display content based on thier assigned roles.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Keith

Dark displays, now both internal and external

I've occationally had problems with the display on my 17" MacBook Pro 2008 (Model A1261): sometimes the screen would not turn on. It started the first year I had it, but at the Apple store (when I got a bad key fixed) the repair man just said "Yeah, I've that problem sometimes too" like it was nothing to bother about :[
When I'd had the MBP for 2 years the problem became worse. Sometimes only my added display would light up, behaving as if it were my main display. But clicking on Detect displays would bring up MBP's display as well.
But now I can't get any display on at all, neither internal nor external :[ :[ :[
I've tried restarting several times. No response in either display.
What can I do?? I've had the MBP for 2 and a half year now.
Reset PRAM doesn't work - there's no regular upstart sound, but I can hear the hard disk running and the little white light in the front is on.
And if I need to do a complete reinstall, is there any reasonable way to save the files? (Hard to see what I'm doing when the screen is black...)

The only thing you have to do is to click the 'Reset' button in Preferences>Advanced>General.
Your 'iTunes Music folder location' will be reset to the default location on the internal disk.
All new imported music will be stored there.
New added music will be stored there if you have the checked 'copy files to iTunes Music folder location when adding to library' in Preferences>Advanced>General.
When your new Mac arrives and you want to transfer the library, first copy the entire 'iTunes' folder (in ./Users/YourUsername/Music) from your eMac to the exact same location on the new Mac.
To transfer the iTunes folder, you can burn it on CD or DVD, but a lot easier is to put the eMac in Firewire target mode.
This article tells you how to do that:
How to use FireWire target disk mode
After the transfer of the iTunes folder is completed, connect your external drive and run iTunes.
The new Mac will have a newer iTunes version and it will take some time to convert the old library format to the new format.
Once all works OK and If you want all your music on your new Mac, use the 'Consolidate Library...' command from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
All music from the external disk will be copied to the internal disk.
Hope this helps.

Internal and External Drive Recording Sequences

I have a QIP 7232 MR DVR (500 MD internal drive) with an eSata 1T WD drive attached. This external drive is one of those specified by VZ for this application. The system operates according to specifications and performs quite well. Just thought I'd pass along a recent observation about where content is recorded on the system.
As is well known, a setup like mine will record content to the external drive preferentially until it is full. When that happens, the system will record content on the internal drive. However evidently that's not always the case, as I learned recently while recording the French Open tennis tournament.
The program is being broadcast on Tennis channel HD, ESPN2, NBC, and probably a few other channels. I have chosen to record as much of the tournament as possible using the "Record Series" option for all channels. This results in quite a bit of recording time, somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 plus hours per day (20 hours a day on selected weekend days). That's almost more tennis than I can stand to watch, but so be it.
What I noticed is that the system does not in fact record exclusively to the external drive until it is full, but instead records some of the material to the internal drive well before the external drive is exhausted. This is the first time I've observed this behavior since setting up the equipment.
Some of the recordings are 9 hours long, so it appears that the system is taking that into account somehow and trying not to get into a situation with insufficient space on the external drive. However when this recording pattern was first observed, my external drive was showing about 80 hours HD content and roughly 53 % used capacity. It's possible that at some time during the last few days there actually was much more recorded material on the external drive and it defaulted to the internal drive for that reason. If that's the case, I did not notice it at the time, but in any case I don't recall ever seeing an indication of higher than approximately 73% on the external drive. I make it a practice to record selected material to DVD if I want to hold it permanently.
As I said all's working well but I just thought I'd pass along this apparently anomalous behavior.

Hi armond_in_nj,
Thanks for the info. I have no personal experience with this, but Walrus has an interesting post regarding his experience with this issue. Thought you might be interested.
