A few questions bout EBS and SAP

Can anyone please clarify what's the diff in SAP and EBS.
Can i get EBS for free (learning purposes)
In SAP ABAP is used for programming purposes. what is equivalent in EBS to that.?
Regards
Khurana

Hi Khurana,
Following are my understanding and only my personal view.
1. Can anyone please clarify what's the diff in SAP and EBS.
SAP and EBS are ERP solutions as you know, business wise its just a comfort factor which makes customer to choose either SAP or Oracle. To be straight SAP doesnt allow you to do customizations as it can be done in Oracle, this is what makes SAP tightly integrated less error prone. Both use their own way of programming which is the answer for your second question below. SAP has its own standards and Oracle too has its legacy. For techincal details you can refer to the following link,
http://oreilly.com/catalog/sapadm/chapter/ch01.html
2. In SAP ABAP is used for programming purposes. what is equivalent in EBS to that.?
ABAP is a programing language created by SAP and it is similar to any other programming language. Its quite similar to COBOL. This was first used as a reporting purpose by SAP and later used extensively for application programing.
For me equivalent for ABAP is PL/SQL in EBS or if i need to compare with reporting or form tool in EBS then it would be D2k.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

Few questions on Templates and Favorites

Experts,
Few fundamental questions on Templates and Favorites...
1) Can Favorites be shared with other users?
2) Can Templates be transported across systems (Dev or QA or PRD) ?
3) Can Templates be shared across planning area ( Yes, KF names are same across planning area?
Any insights appreciated!!!
Thanks
Krishna

Hello Krishna
1. No, favorites are user specific and are not shared. Templates are.
2. There are no transports in the traditional sense in S&OP. So a Template can't really be transported. What you can do, however, is open a Template in DEV, for example, then log off and log back on - just this time to QA or PRD. This assumes you have the same planning area, KF etc.in each system. Now you can add it to the templates in QA or PRD ... this is how you get it from one system to another.
3. I believe they are not shared between planning areas. If you make a planning area copy, I think they might come over but if you built a new PA2 from scratch, the ones you have in PA1 won't be there. If you want to get a planning view template from one PA to another, you basically follow the steps as in my answer to your second question. Again, for sharing a planning view Template between Planning Areas the attributes, time profiel and key figures you use have to be the same.
Hope this helps,
Jens

New to Arch(64), with a few questions about Xorg and more

Hello and Happy New Year everyone,
I'm a user that has just recently decided to try and switch to Linux as the main OS for all things that don't concern gaming. I've been using the "server side" of Linux at work for a couple years now, but when it comes to its desktop part I consider myself not fully competent yet. Under recommendation of a friend I decided to give Arch a shot, and I can say that it really suits my philosophy on how an OS should be like.
I have a few issues I'm currently struggling with that I couldn't seem to solve by looking on my own: as they are mostly minor and shortly described, I thought about packing them up in one single thread to avoid making too many. I've used i686 as testing grounds and am now using x86_64, but most of my problems apply to both.
Here's my hardware, for reference:
- Intel E8400 CPU (3GHz, dual core)
- Asus P5Q-E motherboard
- 2 GB DDR2 800 RAM.
- nVidia 8800GT video card with 512MB memory
- Samsung SyncMaster 713BM flat panel, connected via DVI cable
- Creative SBLive! 5.1 OEM card (dug up for the occasion since it has hardware mixing)
I'm using the latest Xorg from the repos, nvidia proprietary drivers, ALSA, Xfce4 + compiz-fusion, and SLIM as my login manager.
And here are my headaches:
- (32/64) A similar issue to the one I just mentioned: compiz-fusion doesn't seem to stick around as my window manager, even though I manually set it as per Method 2 from this wiki page. Although it did work for a while, after some time (perhaps after installing some package? but I didn't really install anything X related) it simply stopped working. To get my windows, I have to manually run fusion-icon after login.
- (32/64) I'm using MPlayer with libass to watch my favourite anime, but sometimes MPlayer freezes up, forcing me to xkill it. Disabling ASS embedded subs yields error message 11, something about unsufficient resources. Disabling subs entirely prevents MPlayer from crashing. Oh, the errors only happen on specific points of certain videos, and all the videos work just fine under WinXP with MPC or VLC.
- (32/64) Why do anti-aliased fonts under Linux still look so bad, even though I installed the appropriate packages suggested in the wiki? I don't mind disabling anti-aliasing entirely and just using Verdana, but is there some trick to it besides setting sub-pixel hinting under rclick->settings->user interface?
- (32/64) My SBLive might be 5.1, but I'm only using the front connector as I use either two stereo speakers or headphones all the time. But the volume setting in applications (such as MPlayer) seems to affect the PCM meter of ALSA's mixer, putting it over 0 dB gain and generating sound distortion.
- (64/don't know if 32 too) Why does Compiz's framerate drop so badly when I push alt-tab? I'm using the default application shifter, hardware acceleration, and there should be no reason why the framerate should drop like that (expecially considering that wobbly windows or cube rotating don't affect my performance at all). I've read around the net about very similar occourances with the task switcher, but I've found no real solution.
- [SOLVED] (32/64) The first obstacle I came across was that I couldn't set my screen refresh any higher than 60Hz when I actually wanted 75Hz: I solved this by setting the vertical refresh to 76.0-76.0 in xorg.conf. However, for some reason this setting doesn't stick on reboot: I have to log in and manually run rclick->System->NVIDIA X Server Settings for it to apply.
- [SOLVED] (64 only) The 32 version of Xorg was fine, but for some reason I'm not getting the correct keyset (Italian) under X, while everything works in vc. I think I read something about disabling a module called "keydev", but is this really the way to go?
- [SOLVED] (64 only) Although I can hear sound in just about every application, the 64 bit version of Pidgin doesn't "ring" on received messages even though the associated option is enabled.
I kindly thank you in advance for your assistance: I will provide any configuration files that might be needed to help me out

Try SMPlayer.
Ah, I'd rather not involve Qt. Besides, isn't SMPlayer simply a frontend to Mplayer (who already has GMplayer integrated into it, IIRC)?

On my monitor, from my point of view, it appears to make a difference. It's that simple

For all the three combos, I have "driver default" selected. The other option is "default"; I tried to manually type "Master" into the mixer channel field, but then gmplayer's windows and my Xfce taskbar started blinking, so I knew I had just "crossed streams".
Regarding NVIDIA X Server Settings, running "usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only" at login is the only way to apply the settings "automatically".
I've slapped that on my ~/.xinitrc before "exec startxfce4". Thanks in advance, going to test it now!
About the refresh and non-decorated windows issues (which *appears* to be solved after I've wiped the xfce-session cache), I've been thinking: could they somehow be related the login manager I've chosen, SLIM?
P.S. New question: is there any way to enable the ALT+num126 for ~ keyboard behaviour I'm used to under M$ environments?

A few questions about VoiceOver and Safari

1. Let's say I'm reading, item by item, a website that's basically a long text document. When I have interrupted reading to do something in another application or the menu, can I quickly find the position in the text where I jumped out? It would be enough to be able to jump to the paragraph in question.
2. Sometimes while browsing a website the VO cursor suddenly lands on an item which is outside the HTML content, such as the close or zoom button. Moving the VO cursor around a bit can sometimes spontaneously bring it back into the HTML content. How can VO decide to stop interacting and then restart interacting without me giving those commands? Has anyone else noticed this behavior and maybe found a way to fix it?
3. How can I tell VoiceOver to read the current web page from the VO cursor position through to the end without me having to jump item by item? I know that stopping interacting with the HTML content and then pressing VO+A will read the entire web page, but I explicitly would like to have it read from VO cursor onwards.
4. How can I go back one web page and quickly find the link I clicked? For example, a web page might contain ten links called "link 1" to "link 10" which are scattered around the page. Clicking on link 5 brings me to another page. How can I go back and quickly land on link 5?
Thanks in advance for helpful answers!

Here are a few suggestions:
1. Instead of reading using the VO-A command, try reading group by group. You can then set a hotspot (VO-Shift-number) to which you can return by hitting VO-number.
2. Try unchecking the "Mouse cursor follows VO cursor" checkbox in the Web category of VoiceOver Utility. However, this is a known bug.
3. Set a keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard and Mouse pane of System Preferences in the All applications category for the command Start Speaking Text. This is a useful thing to have as it works whether VoiceOver is on or off. While there, set a shortcut for Stop Speaking as well, as it too will come in handy. Both these commands are in the Speech submenu of the Services menu command.
Then, triple-click with the physical mouse or trackpad button. Navigate to last item using VO-Shift-end (or VO-Shift-fn-right arrow on a laptop or wireless keyboard). This is best done in DOM mode, since you do not then risk getting stuck inside a group. Make sure your end target text is not a link, so if it is, navigate to the previous non-link text. Hold down Shift and click with the physical mouse button. You should then have a block of highlighted text. Hit your Start Speaking Text shortcut and listen. To stop it, hit your Stop Speaking shortcut.
Unfortunately you can't restart at the position you stopped at with this method; you simply have to navigate to the point at which you left off, then redo the selection process.
4. Make sure that the checkbox "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage" in the Advanced tab of Safari's Preferences is set. If you remember the name of your link ("link 5" in your example), when you return to the page containing it, you can use the Link Chooser menu (VO-U) to find your link again. You can then use Tab to move to the next link on the page. Alternatively, you can simply use Tab all the way; each link will in turn be spoken, and if it has been clicked previously, VO will add "Visited" after the name.

A few questions about Canvas and other Image related stuff.

I am just starting to play around with Canvas in the hopes of using it to make a little game (not an applet) in my spare time. I have gotten a ball to bounce around the screen and switch colors when it bounces without too much work. (hooray for me!).
I was wondering:
1) If you always have to repaint the whole area of the canvas, or can you repaint sections of the screen?
2) Can there only be one canvas per frame, or if you can have more, like say, one for each sprite (I tried in my own simplistic way but the second canvas overrode the first when I added it to the frame) or do you have to lay out all the sprites in one canvas every time before you paint?
3) Is Canvas the best platform for rendering my animations and doing collision detection, or are other ways of presenting the images better? By better I mean lower usage of resources, higher speed, accessibility of events that occur. (I have read in the mindprod java glossary "[Canvas] receives all the raw mousing events. Panels, in contrast, see only a few.")
4) In a call to paint which tells it to display some images which are much larger than the frame the canvas is in, is time and effort spent working on those pixels that aren't displayed or does it take about the same amount of resources as for images that fit in the frame since the same amount of picture is actually displayed?
5) Is there any convenient way to layers with canvas besides just controlling the order in which the images are painted. (I will admit I haven't searched for this information yet, because I just thought about it.)
6) Is there any other information you guys would care to bestow on me?
If any of this question is ridiculous, obvious, ignorant or any other negative adjective, then I apologize. I will continue messing around in the meantime.
Thanks
--John

Okay, well I got it to work by drawing them both to the same canvas. duh I guess.
Can you have more than one canvas in a frame? How do you set the size if so.
How do I implement the z-order? I thought of doing it manually by sending the paint method a list of objects to paint and manually managing the order of that list. Would that be an acceptable way to do it?
Should I only be trying to paint to one canvas? What I would like to do is have several canvases with transparent backgrounds so that I can draw different layers in the same frame. That way flying stuff would be painted on a different canvas than stuff on the ground, and then putting it all in a frame would tie the pictures together into a scene. Kind of like how they do distance in animation by having different layers of drawings on clear plastic that they can move at different speeds to give the illusion of depth.
Any advise? Sorry for the douba-post
Thanks

Few Question around inbound and outbound

Question 1.
I have a scenario for IDOC WVINVE0 sending inventory data to legacy system and need to get back the same file with 2 field data which were empty at the time of sending to legacy.
So it makes the interface as outbound and inbound to SAP.
What should be the strategy to acheive the same?

Second Question
In case of Outbound IDOC->XI->File
Transport acknowledgement will be used, is it possible to know which record had a problem or not as in this case XI wil be sending ack . Can you please give me the steps to do the transport ack.
And if I want to acheive this then I guess I will have to create different interface to get the error file from legacy system and then send the email to the concerned person.

Third Question
Scenario File -> XI -> IDOC
How can I acheive application ack and what are the steps to acheive the same.

Hey
>>Question 1.
on what basis are those two fields gonna be populated?u can split ur scenario into two async scenarios,one being IDOC to File and second one being File to IDOC.
have a look at the following to get acknowledgement from File in case of IDOC to File scenario.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/22/xi-playing-with-the-file-adapters-acknowledgments
also have a look at the following for IDOC acknowledgement

Few questions about partitioning and formatting in Windows 8

Hello,
I'm very shortly after a Windows 8 reinstall and I want to make use of this moment to finally understand partitioning and formatting in Windows 8.
Before using Windows 8, I was an XP user for 5 years and I actually never bothered myself with formatting my main system partition, that's probably why my computer ended up working like a slime for the last years. Anyway, by now I have been using Windows 8 for a year.
Three weeks ago I faced a system-related problem with my laptop (IdeaPad Y580) which prevented it from peacefully shutting down. A good friend of mine (XP user for his entire life, and now Windows 7 newbie user) told me, that I should keep all my non-system stuff on separate partition and that I should do the main system partition format from time to time to keep my PC out of trouble. It is sure that he took his knowledge from using XP, and here's my first question - does this method apply to Windows 8?
I mean as far as I know, back then, in XP, partitioning was possible only during Windows installation, and now, in Windows 8 we have a Disk Management for this, which do not require running Windows installation to create new partitions.
I'm mentioning this due to the fact that originally (I mean by factory settings) my drive has only one visible partition - C: (1TB), so I would need to use the Disk Management to take some space from C: partition and allocate it to the new D: partition.
In case I do this whole partitioning operation and create a D: partition, is it sure that formatting my system-only C: partition won't have effects on my D: partition, and all the programms and data I have here will stay on their places and work after format? (I'm worried about this because I've seen in some partitioning guide a warning not to format the main partition after the partitioning operation, because it would erase totally all data - I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or is it a mistake? EDIT: here's the link for this guide, just jump to the "Final Thoughts" section to see what I'm taking about: http://www.technorms.com/8438/windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition ).
If this whole method of keeping your system running fine doesn't apply to Windows 8, I guess I'm okay with having only one C: partition.
By the way, it doesn't matter for me if I create new partition in terms of conflicts with preinstalled Lenovo OneKey Recovery, since I had to reinstall my Windows 8 recently from non-Lenovo CD, and either way my laptop is now totally clean, without Lenovo stuff (I found Lenovo Recovery CD for Y580 on the internet, but it had non-single-language Windows 8 in it, and I needed a single-laguage one in order to have my Product Key recognised, so I just used a pure Windows 8 SL installer)

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

Few Questions 'bout Printing in Lab Color

I'm a little confused about how LAB color works. I have a document thats currently in CYMK color mode, and I'm having difficulty finding satisfactory colors. I was advised elsewhere to abandon CYMK. I therefore want to convert my image into to LAB color mode. I've read that converting from one color mode to another can cause layers to look funny, however I need to retain some of my layers... Do you guys typically have problems with this? In retrospect I should have STARTED in Lab... Seems that converting from CYMK to LAB wouldn't be as problematic as converting from LAB to CYMK...
The key question is this: will my printer (Epson R800) even be able to print in LAB mode? I thought yes, or at least closely... because it has much more than CYMK to work with... it has these cartridges:
#1 Blue UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054920
#2 Cyan UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054220
#3 Gloss Optimizer UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Cartridge T054020
#4 Magenta UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054320
#5 Matte Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054820
#6 Photo Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054120
#7 Red UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054720
#8 Yellow UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge
Finally, in the print screen menu should I be
"letting photoshop manage colors" or letting "printer manage colors"? Do you guys have any other tips on how to tweak printer/photoshop settings/preferences to maximize the accuracy of my colors? Would I possibly be better off just using RGB?
I know my questions are conveyed in a slightly confusing manner, so thank you for your patience reading through them. I really appreciate any insight you guys can give me.
Thanks,
Rich

You can't actually print in Lab mode, although it can be great for certain corrective moves. You have to print in either RGB or CMYK. If you are using the Epson driver for your printer, the print is seen as if it were an RGB device, even though it uses CcMmY and black inks.
To get better color accuracy, you need both a hardware calibrated monitor - so you know that what you see is accurate - and good custom printer profiles, so that the colors are properly converted to the color space of the printer. There is a lot of information both in these Adobe forums and on the web in general about color management and the proper use of profiles, and how to go about it.

A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
Any recommendations?
Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
Thank you
Peter

Great info again guys!
I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
@DryHeat:
I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
The case fans create the most noise. When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer. Not terrible, but not quite. On high they are down-right loud.

Few questions about j2ee and my program

Hello
I'm new on this forum and in j2ee :)
I've to write program which should be in working similar to video on demand system but without streaming movies only database and etc.
I'm gonna write database in mysql. It will contain user and movies. I'll use the tomcat server.
Can you tell me what should i learn to do it, i mean can i use jdbc to do it or maybe i should use something diffrent, and what will i need more i mean jsp, servlets?
Sorry for such a question but i'm just beginner in j2ee and i hope you will help me :)

A few questions with XML and Flash

Hi there.
I am currently trying to create a 3d carousel using AS2 and XML. I've made a lot of progress, but there ar e few things I am still struggling with and was hopoing that someone here could please steer me in the right direction.
Here is a URL where the Carousel can be found:
http://iongeo.com/ru_innovation_test_dev/carousel_test.html
Here are a few of the things I am wondering:
1. I would like to be ablle to add a back button movide clip, similar to how the tooltip movie clip is presented now; this movie clip would be able to allow users to go back home to the caousel. I can't seem to get it to load correctly however, I would imagine that it would be set up similarly to how the tooltip icon is set up now, but to be able to have an alpha of 100 when the text is loaded in.
2. I was also wondering how I mihgt be able to add links to my .xml document to be able to call in URLs on the web. I've tried several things using the CDATA approach, but can't seem to get it to work.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance privded and am very greatful for any consideration thac ould be provided. Please let me know if there is anything htat I should clarify on.

Hi there.
I am currently trying to create a 3d carousel using AS2 and XML. I've made a lot of progress, but there ar e few things I am still struggling with and was hopoing that someone here could please steer me in the right direction.
Here is a URL where the Carousel can be found:
http://iongeo.com/ru_innovation_test_dev/carousel_test.html
Here are a few of the things I am wondering:
1. I would like to be ablle to add a back button movide clip, similar to how the tooltip movie clip is presented now; this movie clip would be able to allow users to go back home to the caousel. I can't seem to get it to load correctly however, I would imagine that it would be set up similarly to how the tooltip icon is set up now, but to be able to have an alpha of 100 when the text is loaded in.
2. I was also wondering how I mihgt be able to add links to my .xml document to be able to call in URLs on the web. I've tried several things using the CDATA approach, but can't seem to get it to work.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance privded and am very greatful for any consideration thac ould be provided. Please let me know if there is anything htat I should clarify on.
Below is my code for AS2 and XML so that you might see how things are currently working.

Few questions regarding Training and event management

Dear All,
Can you please help me with the following queries regarding Training and Event Management:
1. How to freeze a completed business event so that no changes to its record (like delete/update attendee details or event detail) is possible?
2. How to get feedback from attendee/faculty with a predefined format with rating (1-4 scale)
3. How to maintain department and category wise training man/hrs or training man/days?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Toa

Hi Toa,
1. Run report RHHISTO0 via SA38. Once the business event is flagged as "historical" no further changes can be done.
3. SM30 - T77S0 - Make the following swtiches active:
SEMIN AINST
SEMIN APART
Then when events are followed up, these training data is recorded to employee 2002 infotype. You can report on it via PT90 (for department-based selection use "Further selections")

Dilek

A few questions about Arrays and Array Methods.

I have 2 dimentional arrays in a number of classes, and I wish to pass them about as variables, however, I can only seem to send int[], rather than int[][]. Gives me some compile errors.
Another thing. How do i get the length of an array?
I've tried: getLength(object), but it's a 2d array (int[][]), and It's having none of it. How do i get the length of a particular side?

An object like int[][] only has a single "length", and that is the length of the first dimension. This object is an array that contains arrays of int, and each of those arrays could have a different length. Your 2D array may happen to be rectangular but that isn't a requirement of Java. So you would have to write your own code to find the lengths of the sides. The first side would be theArray.length, the second side would be theArray[0].length, and like that.

Few questions about alsa and vlc

how to set sound via spdif in vlc ?
how to set default sound output as spdif ? (ESI Juli@)
how to disable dmix and set sampling to 192khz ?

Don't know too much, but S/PDIF would be handled by ALSA not VLC...
Check out asound.conf for default output...
Check autostart for DE/WM...
Might look into using JACK instead of ALSA...
