A strategical problem
Hi,
I want to ask a strategical problem. As educated in college, there is a purpose and there is a tool. In BI, there are two sides that are BW and BO in my opinion. And so, I want to ask which one should be a tool and which one should be a purpose. I mean that, BW is for BO? or BO is for BW? Think a simple example, we want to create a report in BO. BW should be made easier the work of BO? Or BW should be rule based logic and respect to data warehousing concepts, BO should do his own work hisself although work needs much more effort if done in BO?
Is there any strategical article or any other guide that explain how should be BW and how should be BO?
Thanks.
Hi,
in BI we are using BEx suite for different reporting requirements but in BO's we have so many components which solves various reporting requirements in terms of more visualization.
Crystal report designer in BO similar to Report designer in BI
Xcelsius similar to WAD,
Bex analyzer similar to Voyager
by using Universe designer we create a universe (similar to Multiprovider) in BO and we can use this universe to create reports. a BI connection is needed to create universe in BO (nothing but source system connection in BI.
Now companys are using SAP BI is back end and BO as front end.
Please find the link it will help you.

Some tea leave reading regarding SAPs past, current & future strategies
Hi, folks!
Did anybody come across searchsaps interview with Axel Angeli titled "<a href="http://searchsap.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid21_gci1250982,00.html">SAPs Shai Agassi is gone - Hurray!</a>"?
If not, give it a glance! This man speaks out some - for many of us probably uncomfortable - truths about SAPs recent past and future strategies, problems and challanges. What I - with this post - would like to get is your opinion on the questions risen in the article and the answer given there.
Was the introduction of Java really that big mistake and a wasting of resources that would better have been invested in the further development of ABAP. Do we now have a state where we must live with a Java engine, which would never prompt only one Java Developer to spend a thought about migrating his/her applications to it, and a half-baken ABAP engine, which still lacks many essential features, too.
Is ABAP the language of SAPs future on which the "premium application platform for nearly everyone" is to be built on in future, the vital medium which will enable the "full-featured, message queue-based Enterprise Service Bus" SAP needs to push its ESOA strategy.
Was the introduction of Java "the horror of customers"? Are there - beside the ERP - just "niche places" for BW, SEM and APO and will the major developments "happen mainly on the ABAP side"?
This - together with some other relevant news regarding the dull sale of SAPs Portal, the poor performance of MDM a.s.o. - leaves some serious questions open to me which I would really like to discuss with you guys. Just google for "agassi mdm portal" and you' ll get some interesting stuff from - unfortunatly mainly german - media like wiwo, computerzeitung a.s.o. which supply some perfect input for our talk.

I don' t know how SAP sector looks like in US, but in Austria every CIO I know seems to shy at implementing any Java based SAP technology because of lacking professional consultant support or Basis/Development Know How within his/her organizsation. Even SAP itself often seems not to be able to provide reliable consulting, support or even information on their new product line.
So what' s the use of all these new Java based stuff - the real use for customers? Have any features been implemented in Java that couldn' t be realized in ABAP? Object Orientation, Web Services, Web Dynpro - what else do you need to provide Service Oriented Architecture but a set of clean interfaces to your business logic - a.k.a. BAPIs.
Customers are struggling to get their Java servers running, to get a Java infrastructure set up, to get the new SAP Java products modified to suit their needs a.s.o.
SAP' s struggling to get their new servers installed in customers IT landscapes, to huckster their new Java products like ESS/MSS a.s.o., to get companies/consultants buy their Java focused classroom trainings a.s.o.
Consultants like myself, who got into SAP branche luckily via the Java track realize that there' s no real steady demand for their skill set and are finally overhappy to get their BC400/401 paid so they can start working into real projects and not just internal demo applications, prototypes a.s.o.
Is this the great innovation Mr. Agassi brought to his customers, company and the people earning their living with his products by introducing this marvellous, open, standard based programming environment?

Duplex Printing SapScript: Invoice - Printer tries but fails backside?
Hi experts!
I have the following problem:
I want to print invoices with duplex mode (using both sides of the paper to save money). I read the forum here and found out several things.
1. Printer Admin (SPAD) -> Set the printer to Duplex mode
Q: Is this general setting needed at all? I just want to print the backsides for invoices
2. SapScript Form Development (SE71) -> Set Duplex Mode for Page First and Next
Q: Do I have to set both to duplex? I have the standard setup so First -> Next -> Next ...
The Problem:
I tried to print out a 4 page long invoice and I observed the Printer doing it. The Printer tries to duplex by holding the page back at the half and pulling it in again. But then it prints "Nothing" on the backside; also it does this for all 4 pages. Result is: I have 4 pages instead of 2 but the printer needs double the time compared with default printing.
Printer ok?
Facing this I tried the text with transaction SO10: SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST to ensure, the printer can duplex at all.. and it worked perfect. So I can duplex within the text by using the command NEW-PAGE DUPLEX... but that does not help me with my invoice problem at all!. I could use the command in SapScript but the mechanism determing when a page is full would not work anymore. I would not know when a page is full and I dont want to mess with that arround at all.
So where is my mistake?
Do I have to adjust the print-report?
Is it needed to set First as well as Next to duplex?
Do I have to set in SPAD to duplex in addition?
Thanks a ton!
ManfredHi Aidan,
The tray problem seems to be like the following:
Page First shall be printed from tray 1 because we have special paper for that with the company logo in color on it. All other pages shall be printed on regular white paper from tray 2 (its cheaper of course).
I checked it out: it is cheaper to print all pages of the invoice on the expensive paper with duplex then using simplex with the two different types of paper... but thats just for the interest
As the page FIRST shall be from tray1 and NEXT should have been from tray2 the printer did not try to print the first NEXT (so the second page) page on the backside of the FIRST page because the paper came from the wrong tray.
The trick with PAGE2 that comes as well from tray1 enabled the printer to print the second page on the backside of page FIRST.
My current problem is the following (and most likely not SAP-solvable):
Its best to explain like the following. Take a normal DINA4 empty sheet of paper and mark it with a cross on the upper right corner. Thats where our log is.
It is in Tray 1 of our printer are the sides with the logo facing down and towards you. If we print in simplex, then the invoice is printed properly on the side with the logo.
If we print Duplex then we would have to insert the paper with the logo facing upwards and away from you to have the first page printed on the side with the logo correctly.
the Problem with that is that I would have to change any form to duplex otherwise all other printmessages are printed wrong. And if someone prints on the "good" paper in simplex mode (for example from MSOffice) then they will print on the wrong side of the doc.
Summary:
I can print Duplex now with the hints you gave me but I have strategic problems. Another problem is that some customers dont want duplex invoices as they scan the invoices automatically and would miss out every second page.
Thanks Mr. Black -
Need help about best practices - Add DI or add WP
Hello Experts,
I am facing on a strategic problem.
We want to add new application Server (= Instance Dialog) to our CI/DB.
But I am note sure that is the good way!
Is it better to add New Work Process in existing Dialog Instance?
Or, should we create another DI in the same physical host?
I have to explain the both scenarii with features.
Could you please help me to have the best practice in this situation.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hocine NAÏHi Sunil,
Thanks a lot for your reply. We have Sap ECC6 u2013 AIX 5.3. Today we have 3 AS (2 Linux sans one Aix). The goal is to eliminate the Aix AS. In each AS we have 5O WP. What is the highest number of WP allowed?
And we have two opinion within my company :
==> The first is we have to add another AS in the same server than existing one. It was justified by the fact that we have enough available memory!
==> The second is to increase the both linux AS by adding 25 WP by AS. I am not sure but I read that the WP limitation number is 600! Is it right.
Thanks a lot for your help

Problems with the Losing Release Strategies Approvals in PO.
Hi Experts,
We're using the BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for Purchase Orders (WS14000145) the source code of BADI works fine.
I can define all the approvers as source code.
I'm making any text modification in the PO with status Awaiting Approval. This works fine, but I have a problems when i make the modification in the PO ( Document Approved ) with status ordered or Error in Process , if I make the simple modification (explo. text modification) the release strategie is re-starting again, losing all the approvers and approvalls. We need that modification not start the release strategy again.
The re-start should be make only for values modifications (Price, Quantity).
There is other problem with approvals preview too, the approval's preview with the ordering of approvals dissapears. When
I make the same modification in PO with ordered status.
ThanksHi Masa, How are you?
I check the table BBPD_COMP_FIELDS but i didnt understand anything...I need to make tho desactivate the re-start of release strategies..WHen I make a smple modification in the PO ( for explo text documents).
I my process now..if I make the modification in the PO with status orderer ( any modification) the system re-start the approvals levels...I need re-start only for value modifications...Could you help me?
Thanks,

Purchase requisition : problem with check release Strategies
Hi all,
i created a new class, new release group, new release codes etc. I think all is ok but when i launch the transaction OMGQCK for check release Strategies the system give me an error in node 'Check re release indicators' : Define a release indicator for the status "released".
But how can i do that, i created two release indicator : 'X' for blocked and 'V' for launched but what are the options for purchase requisition ?
Is there a special value to give the release indicator 'released' ?
Thanks for your help.
Edited by: ToraTora on Mar 31, 2011 5:46 PMHi,
Goto SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition -> Release Procedure -> Procedure with classification -> Setup Procedure with Classification
select release indicator
by default, you will be having the following release indicators in the system,
1 Request for quotation
2 RFQ/purchase order
3 RFQ/PO no change of date
4 RFQ/PO no changes
A Fixed RFQ
B Fixed RFQ/purchase order
X Blocked
please check whether you have got these or else create and then assign them to the release strategies. -
Hyperion Strategic Finance problem with consolidation
Hi,
I'm currently working with HSF version 11.1.1.1 and i have encountered some problems with the consolidator. I have a group of entities, each one with a different structure (subaccounts, dimensions, etc.) and during the consolidation process there is one (and only one) that doesn't consolidate with the others.
The only difference between the mentioned entity and the others is that this entity use Debt Scheduler, but i have run tests using Debt Scheduler in the other entities and works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Greetings and thanks for your timeFDM has adapters for loading data to both HFM and HSF. It also gives you built in audit capabilities, a powerful intuitive mapping engine and out of the box validation against HFM. You could use flat file extracts from both HFM and HSF as the sources or certainly in the case of HFM-->HSF integrations you could provide a more seamless end to end process by executing an integration script that executes against the HFM API to integrate the extract step.
ODI certainly has HFM adapters for loading/extracting data, I'm not sure it has the smae for HSF. With ODI you will have to build the majority of the functionality, especially around mapping, it is definately more technical and not friendly enough if there is significant business community involvement in the BAU process. -
Problem with Strategic Purchase Role in Rfx
Hi All,
I have assiged the role /sapsrm/st_purchaser in SU01. The same user is integrated in the Org structure and the portal role for strategic purchasing is also assigned.
However when I try to create the Rfx I get an error message that the attributes of the user are inconsistent.
But when I assign the SAP_ALL in SU01 to the same user this error does not appear and everything works fine.
I also check the Authorization tab in PFCG and it shows green for role /SAPSRM/ST_PURCHASER.
Regards,
NeerajThanks Masa,
It works after assigning the role /sapsrm/employee.

I am willing to accept my part in being misled by these people on two separate occasions. The first time was when we purchased two smartphones and had another phone on our bill. During the process I asked repeatedly what the monthly bill would be for all three phones and was told repeatedly that the cost would be $169.00. In reality that price did not include the extra phone and because our plan changed the cost of the extra line went to thirty-five dollars a month instead of ten dollars a month.
My next encounter, in a different store and a different salesman, was just last month. My husband's phone stopped working and we went in to get a new phone. We pay for the insurance. The salesman said the insurance cost was fifty dollars where as the upgraded phone would only be twenty dollars. Again I repeatedly asked if there were any other charges and was told no it only cost twenty dollars. However when the bill arrived the cost for service on that phone went up thirty dollars. The upgrade from what we had isn't worth thirty dollars.
I know I have no recourse for this and will pay for my mistake, but only as long as I have to. My contract on the phone I carry runs out in September. I will be cancelling that service then. As soon as the other contract runs out in 2016 that will be cancelled also.
As I have said I take full responsibility for my mistakes in believing the salesman and not taking time to read the fine print. However I also think that I should be able to believe the salesman when he quotes the charges to me when I ask. I am not a happy customer and anyone who asks me about Verizon will get the full story.When you're ready to walk out of the door, why would they bring up a $30 upgrade fee? Is it moral? No. Is it legal? Yes.
At this day and age, you have to watch your own back. This could've been avoided had you properly read your contract, which is updated more frequently than one would think. -
Optical drive problems after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.10
I've just had my machine updated to Tiger 10.4.10 after having two new hard drives installed after a hard drive failure. I'm now having issues with burning data for backup purposes.
I can't burn anything with Mac OS Disc Burner utility, it doesn't seem to recognize blank disc's DVD's or CD's. It keeps telling me to load a disc when one is already in the drive.
System profiler recognizes CD-R's & DVD-R's when they are in the optical drive
I can burn with Toast Titanium ver 6.0.3 DVD's & CD's. The burned CD's will mount. The burned DVD's will not mount.
I have checked the burned DVD's in the optical drive of my iBook G4 Mac OS 10.3.9 and they mount on it fine.
Movie DVD's will mount & play. Software DVD's will mount and load applications.
I have cleaned the drive with a cleaning disc.
The Optical Drive was working fine before the upgrade, so what is the problem?
I can only assume two problems now!
1.) the optical drive has a physical malfunction
2.) there is a software issue between Tiger 10.4.10 & this optical drive (this is my favorite at the moment)
The upgrade was done by an Apple Authorised Service Provider they say there are no issues with Tiger & the optical drive.
So any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Then I upgraded to Tiger this past year which caused the DVD drive to open later..that is, I'd have to hold down the eject button for a good 2 or 3 seconds before it would open or close. Previously it responded instantly. Now what happens more and more is it can't read DVD-ROM disks that it has burned. My imac G4 with Jaguar has no trouble reading the disks but Tiger 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 simply refuse to mount DVD ROM disks that it burned.
I'm trying to make a duplicate DVD of the offending disk on my single-processor G4 and then put THAT disk into the G5 so it can read the info. Hopefully that will be my work-around.
It's got to be a software issue and I keep hoping the Apple wiz kids will put out an update to remedy this. Something's fishy with the DVD drive programming. -
Purchase order and agreement problem
Hi gurus,
I have a problem that i've come up with going though event trace on my DEV test system.
Although, simulation of WF's are fine and all bindings and syntax checks are without error or warnings,
trace is the only place i've found that something was wrong, appart from that my WF 'WS90200003'
stopped functioning because of automatic linkage deactivation.
I had to manually disable automatic linkage deactivation upon error in SWETYPL to keep the WF alive.
When i did this, all was fine, queing of events started.
Upon creating purchase order i got following trace:

There are no duplicate entries in 'SWETYPL', agent assignments seem fine, WF customizing is OK.
Somehow it is not clear for me why or how my 'WS90200003' with BUS2012 keeps triggering.
When i look in 'Feedback after error' message i see that release code is missing for BUS2012, but weird thing is
that in contract creation it tries to pass contract document number in event BUS2012...
I don't know why BUS2012 is constantly double-triggering.
Not to forget, i'm working on ECC 6.0.
Thank you for the contribution and tips.
Greets,
TomHi,
I am using multi-step release strategies, but i'm not sure what you mean...
Aren't release codes determined from customizing upon saving the document?
I've checked the customizing and there is only 1 release code that can be
used by the agent who gets workitem.
In "Feeback afrer error" log in second calling of BUS2012 there is no release code at all...

Need help for a newbie problem
I am VERY new to all this Java programming but have really started to enjoy it.
I have two problems with my program that I can not find answers to.
1. I am looking to find out why my code will not select the right answers when I select the first choice in the array. The answer that is delivered turns out to be the 3rd selection. The second and third selection work great, but the first selection always turns out with the thrid answer.
2. I know I need to do better error checking on the user input. At this point I am only checking for correct integer input, but I dont know how to fix or avoid the error for when the user would mistakedly enter letters instead of numbers.
Any hints?
Code to follow... I hope...

Thanks for any help!When you choose Java to solve the problems, you need to adapt to the power/strategies/methodology that java offers you, and thats the way for solving problems in Java.
Why would you put the entire implementation for calculation inside main method? You could break down the program into smaller methods which could do the calculation bit and then call them in main method.
Anyways the reason that it is calculating for term of 7 years is that
// for statement loops last repayment option
for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
{mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];You are changing the value of the array yTerm[ ]. Hence once the control is out of the for loop the value of y[0]=7,y[1]=7 and y[2]=7.
Solution 1: mark yTerm as final.
Solution 2: set yTerm[0], yTerm[1] back as 30,15 after the for loop.
if (rOller1 <= 2)
// for statement loops last repayment option
for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
{mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];
mTerm[rOller] = mTerm[rOller1++];
iRate[liRate] = iRate[liRate1++];
//Output to screen for numerical repayment option info
System.out.println(" " + rPay + "\t $" + fappAmount + "\t\t " + yTerm[rOller2] + "\t" + mTerm[rOller] + "\t " + decimal.format(iRate[liRate]) + "% \t$" + decimal.format(mPayment[lPay])+ "\n\n");
yTerm [0]=30;
yTerm [1]=15;
}Futher the issue is with monthly calculation of pay back amount in switch - case statement.
As you have not provided what the problem is and what is the criteria for calculation of monthly interest or reducing the amount etc. Its not possible (at least for me) to tell you why it would run to negative. Mathematically that is the only thing possible,
Step 1: make those changes in your code. Make changes required to claculate the balance.
Step 2: Execute the new code and
Step 3: Gimme the dukes.

# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run

# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
# holding disk space for the so-called degraded mode backups.
# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
# parameter, amanda will not degrade backups if they will fit in the
# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
# reserve 30 # percent
# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded

# put the files there. Specify the locations below.

# tapetypes
# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype"
# above. Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype
# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks
# are, and how fast the tape device is.
# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
# ends. If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
# by searching the archives.
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
# but it doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using
# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if
# so.
# If you want amanda to print postscript paper tape labels
# add a line after the comment in the tapetype of the form
# lbl-templ "/path/to/postscript/template/label.ps"
# if you want the label to go to a printer other than the default
# for your system, you can also add a line above for a different
# printer. (i usually add that line after the dumpuser specification)

# dumptypes
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain parameters for dumping including:
# auth - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
# Valid values are "bsd", "krb4", "krb5" and "ssh".
# Default: [auth bsd]
# comment - just a comment string
# comprate - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
# two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
# the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
# If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
# The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
# compressed file is expected to take up.
# Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
# compress - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are:
# "none" - don't compress the dump output.
# "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
# "client custom" - compress using your custom client compression program.
# use client_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
# the custom compression program.
# PROG must not contain white space.
# "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
# algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
# tape host is backing up slow clients.
# "server custom" - compress using your server custom compression program.
# use server_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
# the custom compression program.
# PROG must not contain white space.
# Default: [compress client fast]
# dumpcycle - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
# full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
# estimate Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
# "client" - Use the same program as the dumping program,
# this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
# but it can take a long time.
# "calcsize" - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
# result is less accurate.
# "server" - Use only statistics from the previous run to
# give an estimate,
# it takes only a few seconds but the result is not
# accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
# Default: [client]
# encrypt - specify encryption of the backed up data. Valid values are:
# "none" - don't encrypt the dump output.
# "client" - encrypt on the client using the program specified by
# client_encrypt "PROG".
# Use client_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
# parameter, default is "-d".
# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
# "server" - encrypt on the server using the program specified by
# server_encrypt "PROG".
# Use server_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
# parameter, default is "-d".
# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
# Default: [none]
# exclude - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
# Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
# Valid values are:
# "pattern" - a shell glob pattern defining which files
# to exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
# list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
# re's (1 per line) defining which files to
# exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
# Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
# filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
# gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
# the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
# diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
# want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
# the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
# Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
# If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list,
# it is searched from within the directory that is
# going to be backed up.
# Default: include all files
# holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk auto]
# "never" - Never use the holding disk.
# "auto" - Use the holding disk if possible.
# "required" - Always use the holding disk.
# ignore - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# index - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
# kencrypt - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
# Default: [kencrypt no]
# maxdumps - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
# Default: [maxdumps 1]
# maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't
# want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get
# overpromoted.
# Default: [10000]
# priority - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium"
# or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no
# tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded
# mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
# are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
# disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP",
# or "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
# record - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
# program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
# /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.).
# Default: [record yes]
# skip-full - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
# outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
# skip-incr - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in
# archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
# the tapes saved.
# starttime - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay
# strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently:
# "standard" - the standard one.
# "nofull" - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used,
# for example, for small root filesystems that
# only change slightly relative to a site-wide
# prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
# changes.
# "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time.
# "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
# to strategy 'nofull', but will increase
# the dump level as usual. Full dumps will
# only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
# has been issued
# Default: [strategy standard]
# tape_splitsize - (optional) split dump file into pieces of a specified size.
# This allows dumps to be spread across multiple tapes, and can
# potentially make more efficient use of tape space. Note that
# if this value is too large (more than half the size of the
# average dump being split), substantial tape space can be
# wasted. If too small, large dumps will be split into
# innumerable tiny dumpfiles, adding to restoration complexity.
# A good rule of thumb, usually, is 1/10 of the size of your
# tape. Default: [disabled]
# split_diskbuffer - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
# mode (usually meaning "no holding disk"), buffer the split
# chunks to a file in the directory specified by this option.
# Default: [none]
# fallback_splitsize - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
# mode, if no split_diskbuffer is specified (or if we somehow
# fail to use our split_diskbuffer), we must buffer split
# chunks in memory. This specifies the maximum size split
# chunks can be in this scenario, and thus the maximum amount
# of memory consumed for in-memory splitting. Default: [10m]
# Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way of
# defining parameters.
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in this sample file

I just bought the LG ALLY and would love to have the Accuweather widget on the phone. My problem is while my phone shows the correct time, (I am on Eastern here, but about 15 miles away in Illinois they are on Central) the Accuweather Widget is off by an hour showing Central time. I tried to sync it, but I can't find it in my list of sync-able programs. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. It's frustrating both me and a co-worker with the same phone/problem.
Thank you!

I have the same issue, Amanda. The weather widget that comes with the Ally was poorly written. The time issue is bad enough, but it takes up more screen space than is visible. Try it, if you touch and hold on the space below the widget, it will select it. This also means you can't add widgets or icons directly below it, resulting in a great deal of wasted space. -
Screen problem making iPad unusable
My iPad2 is 15 month old and has developed a strange screen problem. It seems to have developed a mind of its own, typing ahead with random characters, doing its own thing when scrolling and trying to select in apps. Two days ago Apple support said restore to factory settings which I did. Same problem came back. Yesterday Apple support said the same thing which again I did. Same problem came back Today Apple support say it's a hardware issue out of warranty. We had a polite discussion about EU legislation but to cut a long story short, they basically said "sorry about that, but there is nothing our policies will let us do, you're on your own"
Not exactly the response I hoped for. So I've now got an iPad that is basically useless, unless I want to use it as a door stopper.
My business made a strategic commitmnt to Apple in Mid 2011 and this iPad was part of our shift away from PC/Windows. It's the first time I have needed to deal with Apple Support, and while each of the people I have spoken to have been professional, understanding and helpful, they have been unable / not allowed to assist any further.
Yes, we could have taken out Apple Care Agreements. We chose not to on the basis of 2 year statutory warranty and Apple's reputatiuon for reliability. Seems I made a big mistake here and am left wondering if we made the right decision in going down the Apple route. Our investment in Apple hardware and software is massive for an SME and our workflow depends on iPads.
I'm left with a problem. Thanks Apple.
I'm still a fan but my blinkers have been removed. No longer will you be giveen the benefit of the doubt when you screw up - Maps, WiFi etc - as you have had a direct and negative impact on my business and missed a chance to keep a very happy customer on board.
Does it help to post this? Not really, but it's off my chest.And you are within your "rights" to post this. But you do realize that we are not Apple employees - correct? We are just other users like yourself. If you feel that you have been treated unjustly, move up the Apple chain of command. Politely demand to speak to the next higher up and go from there.

Officejet K550 Pro: Paper Feed Problems
About a year or two ago, we purchased a K550 unit for our office, and 3 subsequent units for employees' personal use. At first, everything went great - it was the best inkjet printer I or my staff had ever owned! After a month of great service, my staff and I recommended this product to customers demanding a printer with low cost of ownership and fast, high-quality printing. However, after about 3 months of service, all of our units began developing paper feed problems in about the order they were purchased, depending on their usage (the older units first, unless they were used more than other units).
It started with an occasional failure to pickup a new sheet during a print job, slowly progressed to having to hand-feed the printer to get it started on a job and supervising the printer throughout the job to clear the occasional feeding problems during the job, and erupted into a continuous hand-feeding of every sheet of every job through all of these printers, all the time. We immediately replaced, at our cost, all of the 15 customer units, 3 employee units and 1 internal unit that were purchased by us or on our recommendation with other HP devices, even after several customers willingly contacted HP and were sent warranty replacement new and refurbished units that also failed. The only three K550 printers that remain in service with us or our customers (one in our office and two others with customers who requested to keep the units we replaced) fail to pick up any paper out of the main tray an astonishing 93%, 98% and 100% of the time, respectively. This is not an exaggeration, these are documented numbers rounded down when applicable).
I've perused many online sites, forums and websites on this topic - both professional and non - and found this to be a common problem with what seems to be a very great number of these units. Some folks also mention a problem with the K/Y (black/yellow) printhead, but neither I nor any of our customers have experienced this problem. In solving this feeding problem, we've tried different brands, weights and chemical makeups of paper (HP paper works well, but Staples brand paper of standard weight and 97 bright works best), tried different loading strategies for each paper type (such as fanning the paper before loading and before printing, light, moderate and heavy loads in the standard tray), tried installing a duplexing device (HP OEM of course), tried installing the larger paper tray (also HP OEM) and flashing different firmware supplied by HP - all to no avail. None of the units have any aftermarket parts, kits, ink cartridges or printheads - everything installed and used in these printers is OEM, except for occasional special papers or label sheets. So where does this leave us? More importantly - where does this leave my customers who I prematurely recommended this product to?
We're looking for a solution from HP. We've tried customer service and have opened several issues without resolution. I'm tired of my employees and myself dealing with this issue only to be told how to load paper and to flash the same firmware on the same device for the third, fourth and fifth times. We have 16 defective units in storage and 3 units in partial service for a total of 19 units. Accounting for these 19 units: we lightly use 1; we sold and supported 15 of these within our customer base and 3 to our employees, all of which we replaced with other HP products (again, at our cost), and 2 customers decided to keep 1 defective unit each. As a result, both myself and my company are out big money because of this issue. We replaced all of our supported K550's with other HP devices only after unsuccesfully attempting resolution with HP.
If there are replacement parts that address and resolve this conflict available, where can I obtain them? If there is a simple remedy, what is it? What can we do to mitigate this situation and yield a positive outcome? The K550 is an outstanding printer in terms of speed and print quality, unfortunately its unreliability due to poor feeding performance and need for constant supervision and user intervention doom this model to the component recycler's scrap heap. Do you have a solution? Are you experiencing the same problems? I want to know!So, I just typed this nice, long post about my SOLUTION to this problem, and apparently the forum didn't like it and deleted it. I'll have it up in the next couple days.
