A report question please review !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I am wring a report and I have a question about few things.
I am selecting some data from different tables, some of the
columns are: days_past_due (which is a calculated column, it's =
to sysdate -due_date) and I have another column balance_due, Now
I want to have few other columns like (31-60,60-90,90-180) as
buckets and these should be calculated also like for example if
it's for 1-30 days I want to sum up the balance_due columns if
the days_past_due is bettwen 1-30 , Please review if you can help
alpha

Please do the following:
1. Add two columns "Account Name" and "- Account Document"."Document Name" to the report.
2. Create the following formula on "Account Name" column
CASE WHEN ("- Account Document"."Document Name" LIKE '%string1%' AND "- Account Document"."Document Name" LIKE '%string2%' )THEN "Account Name" ELSE '0' END
3. Put a filter on "Account Name" != 0 (Filters out all the Accounts which do not have the Document Name like in string1 and string2.
Hope this helps and please mark it if it does.

  • EPrint/Apps Connectivity Troubleshooting - Please Review

    ePrint & Print Apps Connectivity Troubleshooting Steps – Please Review before posting
    This information below is provided to help you to resolve web services connectivity problems to enable your printer to print with ePrint, launch/use Print Apps, enable web services, print your web services info sheet, or add your printer to your account on the HP ePrintCenter.   Only items that have actually been shown to resolve customer issues have been included in the list.   
    For best results review and apply the applicable steps below in the order presented before posting a request for help in the forum, so that forum members who respond to your post can provide the best possible assistance.  
    Also see this post (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/Start-here-Web-Services-How-To-and-Troubleshoo...) for additional “how-to” and links to important web services information, FAQs, and Help content.
    Before applying the troubleshooting information below:
    If you receive an “Invalid code” message when you try to add your printer to your HPePrintCenter account, but aren’t having any other problems using ePrint and Print Apps, you most likely only need to reprint your web services info sheet from your printer.  Your printer's claiming code that is printed on the info sheet can only be used to add your printer to your ePC account for 24 hours after printing the info sheet.  Reprinting the info sheet doesn't change your claiming code, it just re-enables your printer to be added to your ePC account for another 24 hours.  See here for the steps to re-print your web services info sheet.
    If you enabled Web Services on your printer but the Web Services info sheet containing your printer’s claiming code did not print, your printer has not fully completed its web services registration and will not print ePrint emails or print app content.  In this case you will not receive any error messages on the printer and you can view your printer’s email address on the printer front panel display.  If your web services info sheet does not print within five minutes of enabling web services, try removing and enabling web services again.  If your Web Services info sheet still does not print after re-enabling web services, you will need to wait and try again later.   If you do receive error messages when trying to enable web services, continue to the web services connectivity troubleshooting steps below.
    If you have ePrint emails that aren’t printing, please first ensure you confirm your emails meet ePrint format/attachment requirements.  Review the ePrint email requirements in the ePrint FAQ/Help on HP ePrintCenter at www.hpeprintcenter.com.  You can also check your printer’s connectivity status and ePrint job list on HP ePrintCenter if you have created an account there and added your printer.  (Always use the “Refresh” button on the ePC page, not your browser refresh button, to view updated printer connection status on the HP ePrintCenter.)  
    A.     Easy steps that can be surprisingly helpful – try these first:
    Verify your network’s internet access is working – on a computer connected to your network, use a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox to view a web page.  If you can’t access the internet your internet service provider may be having a service issue that is affecting ePrint/Print Apps. 
    Go to HP ePrintCenter and look in the News section (http://h30495.www3.hp.com/news/ ) to see if there are any service status updates.  In some cases, you might just need to wait a little while and try again.  
    Turn wifi off and then on again on your printer and wait for a minute for your printer to reconnect to your network   
    Reboot your printer - turn power off and then on) and wait for a minute for it to reconnect to your network
    Reboot your router - remove the power cord from the back of the router, wait a minute, and then plug it in again and wait for at least a minute for the router to power up and all your devices to reconnect.
    B.      Check your printer’s IP address to confirm it is connected to your network.   
    Verify that your printer has a valid IP address (for example, typically 192.168.x.x on a home wireless network) by viewing the network settings screen in the Networking or Wireless menu on your device’s front panel display, or by printing a Printer Status Report (usually found on the Tools menu).  If your printer does not have a valid IP address re-run the network setup process for your printer.   For more help with setting up or troubleshooting your HP printer’s connection to a wireless network, go to http://www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting
    C.      Confirm that both your printer and router have up-to-date firmware:
    Having up-to-date firmware on your printer or router is important to use web services.  
    Check to ensure you have the latest firmware (FW) for your printer by checking for product updates, usually found under the “Web” or “Preferences” options on your printer’s menu.  If your printer finds an update but is unable to complete downloading/installing it, ensure your router FW is up to date and try again.  If your printer continues to fail to complete the download of an available FW update, continue to “E. Set a Manual IP/DNS Server” below.
    Check to ensure that you have the latest firmware for your router – review your router documentation/help (or the router manufacturer’s web site) for information on how to check for and install firmware updates.  
    Resolve temporary connection failure after printer firmware upgrade    
    Some printers may experience connection failure after firmware upgrade.  This is because the printer reboots itself after firmware updates and needs to re-establish network connection.   
    Check to ensure the printer has been given a valid local IP by your router (eg. 192.168.x.x if DHCP is used) before trying to access print apps or using ePrint.   You can see your printer’s IP address by going to the printer’s Wireless or Network setup menu.
    If you don’t see an IP, you may have to restart the printer.  In some cases, you may have to remove and re-enable web services to re-establish your connection.
    Refer to the FAQ & Help section on HP ePrintCenter for more information on how to remove and re-enable web services from your printer.
     Allow your printer enough time to reconnect to your network after you try any of the steps above, before you try ePrint or Print Apps again. 
    D.     Remove and Re-enable Web Services and Restore Factory Defaults
    Remove and then re-enable web services on your printer.  If the web services info sheet does not automatically print within a few minutes of re-enabling web services, web services has not been fully enabled on your printer.   You may need to wait and remove and re-enable web services again in few hours to allow the issues affecting your printer’s communication with the cloud servers to clear up.  Until a web services info sheet prints out your web services registration is not complete.   Complete the steps below while your printer is connected to the Internet.
    Photosmart:  The Remove Web Services option is available either under the Setup>Wireless>Web Services menu option, or the Setup>Web option, or via the ePrint icon on the printer front panel. 
    On the eStation select the Menu button on the eStation display (to the right of the Home and Back buttons at the top left when the display is docked on the printer); Select Settings;  Select "Web Services”; Select the “Web Services” checkbox. 
    Officejet:  Use Setup > Web Services Setup > Restore Factory Settings to remove Web Services from the printer. 
    LaserJet: Print a configuration page from your printer to locate the IP address. Open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line. The HP-embedded Web Server will open. Click the HP Web Services tab. Select the option to remove Web Services.
    2.  Restore Factory Defaults on your device.  If removing and re-enabling web services does not resolve the problem, restore factory defaults on your printer and try again.  The factory default option is usually found in the Setup>Tools menu on your printer.   Do the following on your device:
    Remove/Disable Web Services 
    Restore factory defaults/settings (depending on the printer this is found under the Setup>Tools menu, or the Setup>Web Services menus, but varies by printer) 
    If prompted, re-do initial setup of your device and add it to your network
    Re-enable Web Services 
    Once the Web Services information sheet is printed, use the printer claiming code to add your printer to your account on ePrintCenter
    E.      Set a Manual IP/DNS Server settings on your printer
    Setting a manual IP address/DNS Server on your printer will resolve web services connectivity issues that can occur on some networks with some routers.  Note:  Setting a manual IP/DNS Server may be particularly helpful on networks using DSL/VIOS routers.   
    Please read the instructions below completely before applying them.  You should not attempt these on your own if you don't understand networking basics.  Most of us have a "techie" buddy/friend/family member...if you're not comfortable this might be a good time to call him/her, or contact HP support to assist you.  
    Before you begin, first remove Web Services from your printer if it has been enabled.  (See section D. 1. above.)   Removing web services will remove your printer from your HPePrintCenter.com account (if you have previously set up an account and added it).  When you re-enable web services after completing these steps you will have a new ePrint email address and need to add your printer to your ePC account again. 
    How to set a manual IP address/DNS Server on your web-connected printer:
    Print a Network Configuration Page from the printer front panel.  On some printers this will be under Wireless>Wireless Settings, and on other models use the “Print Report” option from the Wireless status screen accessed from the wireless icon on the printer home screen.   Note the printer's IP address that is listed in the IPv4 section of the report.  On most printers you can also see the printer’s IP address from the Wireless menu, or on the Wireless status screen.  
    Type that IP address into your browser address bar (where you would normally type a web page URL) and hit enter - this will load the printer's internal settings page (also known as an Embedded Web Server, or EWS)
    Select the “Network” or “Networking” tab (the label varies depending on printer model) from the tabs along the top of the screen in the EWS
    Depending on your printer model, the next step(s) will vary:
    Select the “IPv4” option from along the left side of the Networking screen   
    or
    Select the “Networking” option from the left side of the screen
    Then select the “Network Address (IP)” option from the left side of the screen
    The screen you end up on should be the “IP Address Configuration” screen.  That screen allows you to choose an Automatic or Manual (i.e., fixed) IP address for your printer, as well as Subnet Mask and Default Gateway values.   You will use this screen to set a Manual IP address and DNS Server for your printer.  
    To continue:
    Select the radio button next to “Manual IP”
    Select the “Suggest a Manual IP Address” option below the IP address fields.  The Manual IP address fields will automatically populate with suggested values after a few moments.
    Select the “Manual DNS Server” radio button in the DNS Address Configuration section 
    Enter the address just entered in the “Manual Default Gateway” into the “Manual Preferred DNS Server” field.  Leave the “Manual Alternate DNS Server” entry blank.
    Carefully double-check the values you entered to make sure they are all correct. 
    Click 'Apply'
    Save any open documents and close any web browsers on any computers
    Turn off the printer and unplug the router. 
    Plug in the router, wait for it to start up and for status lights to settle down (approximately a minute at least), then turn on the printer.
     After the printer has connected to your network, enable web services on your device, accept any firmware updates that may be offered, and add your printer to your account on HPePrintCenter. 
    In some cases you might need to add the printer to your computer’s Printer/My Printers folder again, after you set the new manual IP address.   If you have problems printing to your printer, simply use the option to add a printer, select the Networked printer type, and complete the add printer wizard.  You will not need to reinstall any printer software on your computer.  
    F.       Check for port/proxy issues  
    Note:  These issues are not commonly experienced, and primarily affect users in business environments. 
    ePrint and Print Apps require access to establish connections out to HP servers via ports 80, 443, 5222 and 5223.   Primarily in some business environments, network administrators may block devices initiating communication from within the firewall on some of these ports.  Please check with your network administrator or Internet Service Provider to make sure those ports are not blocked on your router/firewall for outward-bound communication initiated by your printer. 
    Important Note:  We are not suggesting that you set up port forwarding on your router to open these ports for connections initiated from outside your network to your printer.  That is not required and could be a security risk for your network. 
    2. In some business environments the local network which the printer is connected to may require a proxy setting to access the Internet.   Check with your IT Administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP) for proxy setting if necessary.  Most ISP for home users do not require proxy configuration for Internet access.  (Note: HP web connect printers currently do not support secure proxy servers)  
    To set a proxy on an Officejet All-in-One, see this document:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02524629&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US... 
    If the steps above have not resolved your ability to use ePrint/Print Apps, please submit a question in the here in this support forum, confirming you have completed this connectivity troubleshooting and identifying the error/problem you are experiencing.  Thank you.

    eprint has to be the biggest boondoggle ever created. HP should be embarrased by their incompeetance - been two weeks and I have not been able to access the feature. Told a number of times (after LONG wait on phone) that there were problems with their servers and to try again in a day or so - very helpful and professional. Feel like I'm dealing with "Dogbert" customer support in Dilbert cartoon world. Can't log on using snapfish or any other means. I guess I just have to give up and recognize that HP just doesn't care - false advertising and promotion. No satisfaction.

  • Multiple Column Report Question

    Post Author: LCS213
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep.  The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page. 
    Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this?  I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns".  But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups.  Am I mistaken?  Is there a workaround I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

    Hi Dan,
    According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
    on eighteen separated pages, right?
    In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
    add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
    1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
     Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
    2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
    3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
    4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
    If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.
    Best regards,

  • Multiple page report question

    My client would like to run a report by project. A project can have multiple sub-tasks and each sub-task can have additional tasks.  Each additional task has 6 sections on the report which all need to be separated by page breaks.  The report
    need to separated by the additional tasks so in the example below I would have 18 pages of reports, grouped by Sub task and Additional task.  How do I group this report to make it work correctly?  Would sub-reports work better - still having trouble

  • Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

    Hello,
    I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
    I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
    Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
    The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
    How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
    Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Krrish
    Edited by: Krrish on Dec 3, 2012 7:45 AM

    Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

  • Supply Shortage Report question

    Hi
    Supply Shortage Report question:

    Users want to see number of consecutive days a particular productu2019s Supply shortage value is below zero.
    Input criteria:
    Date range:
    Consecutive days:
    For e.g. If user enters date range as u201C06/01/2010 u2013 07/31/2010u201D and Consecutive days as u201C4u201D they want to see all the products which have u2013ve Supply shortage values consecutively for 4days or more.
    Can anyone tell me how we can accomplish this in Bex? Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sree

    Hi,
    Please check the follwoing option.
    Load the msae data in one more DSO which will be a lookup DSO. In that DSO theer will be a daily load with the date as "Historization Date" which will keep the Current date with every load. In that DSO calculate Shortage Indiactor
    Shortage Indicator 1 if Receipts < requirement.
    By doing this you will be having Data with Historization date (Daily) with an Indicator for Shortage.
    Now while loading this cube populate one Chracteritics a Shortage Counter by doing look up theis DSO.
    You need to Indicator in the DSO with today's date and historization date and you need to add the counter on the basis of avilable consecutive entries by putting a loop for the same.
    By this approach you may achieve your need.
    I hope it will help.

  • Tons of Questions: PLEASE REPLY TO THIS THREAD

    Hi, I am a 16 year old teen that is about to wait for the right moment to have my dream of starting a youtube channel. Ive done a lot of research comparing how any type of laptop will compare when I record and play my games, because i mostly want to get into gaming youtube channel. Although i might want to do just gaming ive also wanted to do videos of unboxing and music covers. My friend that knows a lot about computers told me that i should get a mac if i want to do mainly editing, or if i want to just game and record i should buy a pc laptop. He recommended that i should buy a laptop from IBUYPOWER that has better specs than that of the mac book pro retina 15" and is cheaper. That moves onto my next question asking why are macs so overpriced? I did all my research on that too, and it most likely seems it is almost a brand name expense like louis vuotton. Next question is, how is the cheapest way I can get the 15" retina mac book pro for the cheapest price possible, should i wait until black friday for sales to lower, or should i wait until the next year to get the next 2015 model. Is the newer progressing years of MacBook pros that much better that i should wait until the next year to get it. Next question, say i wanted to play a game that is only on windows platform, ex. Skyrim. Should i play a cracked version that has been reformatted to the mac, or should i just download windows on my mac so that i can play it with more ease of use that way, instead of having to use everything in the mac side when it was originally formatted for Windows. Anyway thank you for your time, and even if you dont know the answer to these questions, PLEASE ANSWER ANYWAY, THANK YOU!

    Mac is not overpriced...
    You pay for seamless Software/Hardware integration. Superior build and workmanship. And of course the OS X experience.
    As far as laptops go I believe apple has the best offerings on the market by a longshot.
    I am however not a big fan of buying a Mac and using it with windows... It kind of defeats the point, unless you are a developer, or need it occasionally for certain activities only Windows can perfrom.
    You stated you want to however start a youtube gaming channel, I think its better to buy a desktop for this type of activity. Obviously you will game for hours on end if you want to create some sort of feedback/opinion or reviews for different games.
    Also you will have to run windows to review the latest and best platforms/games. Many current games are not available on OSX platform. So your review channel would not be very good if you can only review OSX selected games.
    That said there could also be a niche on youtube for reviewing exclusively OSX games. I mean you could review different games from the apple app store etc.
    It really depends on what you want to do...
    There are many good windows based machines too to do this sort of thing... In your case it may be the better option.
    There are certainly Windows based laptops that do a much better job in the gaming compartment than a Macbook pro. In fact to play top end games you will need a top of the line 15 inch MBP with Discreet Graphics (Anything else only has Integrated graphics, games still playable, but there are limitations). You can get a much more affordable/powerfull laptop that is Windows based... Or more  practically a more affordable and powerful Desktop...
    I must however add.
    Coming from Windows environment... My first Macbook Pro and OSX experience put all previous windows machines to shame...
    I am a very pleased consumer, and personally I am sticking with my macbook pro
    Also if a game is not available for MAC. You can't get a "cracked reformated version".... It does not work that way.... It involves serious programming.
    You would need to install windows on the MAC

    Hi Experts,
    I have some questions after review postings on Remodeling
    Review Source:
    a)  /people/mallikarjuna.reddy7/blog/2007/02/06/remodeling-in-nw-bi-2004s
    b) https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/008f9fef-22e4-2a10-d994-a17c55ca06f0
    1. In Adding a new char Zreg, the author set it to a CONSTANT  as INDIA. What if in my environment, the added characteristic is also ZCOUNTRY but could take on VALUES such as US, Canada, Mexico, will the be the option:
    1:1 Mapping with Characteristics? If not, please help.
    2. Again, in the demonstration of the u201CAdd key figureu201D in the remodeling of the cube, the author used CONSTANT = 100. Can you help me understand a situation in production where you will have to set a key figure to a constant value? E.g. u201CNet Salesu201D should always be $5000? I may be missing the point in that remodeling.
    3. I also noticed that while remodeling CHARACTERISTICS, there was the option u201CCUSTOMER Exitu201D but in the case of KEY FIGURE the option was u201CUSER Exitu201D
    Any reason why one is CUSTOMER and the other as USER?
    4. There was the emphasis to u201C.. backup database before running remodeling requests..u201D Is it referring to Basis backing up the BW system? Or, is there a way to take a copy of the cube to be remodeled and its data? If it is the second option, any hints on how?
    5. I have heard of scary cases during remodeling, is there a way to simulate and approve of the changes before actually implementing it? How?
    Also, Are these changes that need to be done in development to be transported to production?
    Thanks

    Hi Amanda........
    1. In Adding a new char Zreg, the author set it to a CONSTANT as INDIA. What if in my environment, the added characteristic is also ZCOUNTRY but could take on VALUES such as US, Canada, Mexico, will the be the option:
    1:1 Mapping with Characteristics? If not, please help.
    In this case coding is required............So u hav to go for Customer exit........
    If u do 1:1 Mapping with Characteristics..........it will access value as per that Characteristics.....
    2. Again, in the demonstration of the u201CAdd key figureu201D in the remodeling of the cube, the author used CONSTANT = 100. Can you help me understand a situation in production where you will have to set a key figure to a constant value? E.g. u201CNet Salesu201D should always be $5000? I may be missing the point in that remodeling.
    Suppose price of a product...........it will not change everyday...............that keyfigure hav to set as a constant value...........
    3. I also noticed that while remodeling CHARACTERISTICS, there was the option u201CCUSTOMER Exitu201D but in the case of KEY FIGURE the option was u201CUSER Exitu201D
    Any reason why one is CUSTOMER and the other as USER?
    Look thereis a difference between User exit and Customer exit..........I am not very sure when user exit is required and when customer exit.......
    Check this..............
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
    4. There was the emphasis to u201C.. backup database before running remodeling requests..u201D Is it referring to Basis backing up the BW system? Or, is there a way to take a copy of the cube to be remodeled and its data? If it is the second option, any hints on how?
    if you want to transfer the content of one infocube to another one ...............
    a) generated the export datasource for the source infocube...right-click->'generate export datasource
    b) create transformation.......(without any filter or calculation, with the mapping 1:1 to all the infoobjects) ................in this way u can 'copy' (with one shot data load, as a full request) all the data.........
    5. I have heard of scary cases during remodeling, is there a way to simulate and approve of the changes before actually implementing it? How?
    Also, Are these changes that need to be done in development to be transported to production?
    Generally u will don't hav changing authorization in PROD.........Look frankly speaking..........I hav never done Remodeling..........but as per the statement .......During remodeling process InfoCube is locked for any changes or data loads so make sure you stall all the data loads for this InfoCube till the time this process finishes..............I think we do remodeling directly in PROD only.........

  • Please review my solution!

    Hello All,
    I am planning to attend the CLD exam next week. I am practicing some of sample questions. I solved the ATM question.
    Kindly please review and let me know the feedback. Attaching the code in both 2014 and 2010 version along with question.
    Thank You!

    Overall I've seen worse but, you do have a major problem as I se it from looking at your code.
    You FORGOT the USER.  Seriously, the user is key.  Tip Strips and Discriptions on EVERY user control or indicator is a must.  Postition the FP so user controls are visable is a must.
    I'm not "in love" with your queue handler but could se it on a larger project with a generic queue data type and a priority boolean.  overkill for a CLD exam you only get 4 hours and yo need to document those controls and indicators.
    Type defs-  All have default icons (Break that habit now or you'll find something like this someday and be sorry)
    There are a few developers I'd be tempted to shoot.  It is a point on code reviews around here now.
    Wired terminals not on root block diagram will get you dinged.  do a search i've said it before.

  • Trying out Survey reporting options (Please help)

    I am attempting to create a survey - our company does not use an LMS (we use Captivate for simulation videos), so I believe the best option for reporting is using Acrobat.com.
    Any suggestions would be welcome!
    First question: What is the best reporting option to get simple survey results back to a user (me) without an LMS?
    Second question: How do I accept the user agreement (see screenshot)?

    Hi there,
    If you do not have an LMS, then you can get the reporting using Acrobat.com  or Internal Server Reporting. You need to have Quiz results analyzer at your end to get the reports.
    Please log on to Acrobat.com and accept the end user license agreement after logging there, then configure acrobat.com settings in Captivate.
    Thanks.

    I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP. 
    I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In".   The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.  
    I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
    I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
    The error is:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store.  Please review your account information."  I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue.   Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc." 
    It's clearly not a cookie issue..   Stuck...

    Correct.

    What is ticket? Process flow ticket
    Handling tickets is called Issue Tracking system. The errors or bugs forwarded by the end user to the support team are prioritized under three seviority High, Medium and Low. Each and every seviority as got its time limits before that we have to fix the error.
    The main job of the supporting consultant is to provide assistance on line to the customer or the organisation where SAP is already implemented for which the person should be very strong in the subject and the process which are implemented in SAP at the client side to understand,to analyse,to actuate and to give the right solution in right time.This is the job of the support consultant.
    The issues or the tickets(problems) which are arised is taken care of on priority basis by the support team consultants.
    The work process in support projects are given below for your reference.
    1. The customer or the end user logs a call through any tool or by mail (RADIX).
    2. Each one of the support team is a part of support group.
    3. Whenever a customer logs a call he /she has to mention to which work group (by name).
    4. Once the calls came to the work group the support consultant or the team need to send an IR (Initial Response) to the user depending upon the priority of the calls. (Top,High,Med,Low,None)
    5. Then the error is fixed, debugged by the support consultant or the team. Then after testing properly by generating TR(Transport Request through the basis admin)
    6. Then it is informed to the end user/customer/super user about the changes which have moved to the production server by CTS process.
    These are the process. In summary, what I understand is that if any configuration or customization is required to solve the issue, then the consultant have to work on DEV Client, then the end user will test it in the QA client and after approval the BASIS consultant has to transport it to the PRODUCTION client.
    An example:
    Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after theimplementation of the project. There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
    To begin with , we should give "TICKET" to you for not knowing it.
    Here is an eg of a ticket raise:
    End user is not able to
    1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant , since shipping point determination is not happened . ( Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
    He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below:
    1. Low 2. Medium 3. High.
    Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
    You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
    Finally, you request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION. Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed. What I have given is a small example. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support.

    <b>Log data changes
    The logging flag defines whether changes to the data records of a table should be logged. If logging is activated, every change (with UPDATE, DELETE) to an existing data record by a user or an application program is recorded in a log table in the database.
    Note: Activating logging slows down accesses that change the table. First of all, a record must be written in the log table for each change. Secondly, many users access this log table in parallel. This could cause lock situations even though the users are working with different application tables.
    Dependencies
    Logging only takes place if parameter rec/client in the system profile is set correctly. Setting the flag on its own does not cause the table changes to be logged.
    The existing logs can be displayed with Transaction Table history (SCU3).</b>
