About Building Blocks

Hi Experts,
I need to know about Building Blocks in SAP. What is the purpose of Building Blocks. What exactly could we do with this in SAP.
I need a clear explanation.
Thanks in advance,

When Building Blocks Explode in Microsoft Word

Pushing out a Word 2010 SP1 template to approximately 150+ machines. There are several building blocks on the template, two of which are causing me problems. The major difference seen is that these problematic building block options contain nested content
controls.
When I click the option in the building block with nested content controls, the building block control stretches to 19 pages. The option should only be the length of an ordinary five sentence paragraph.
Fired up a Virtual Machine to see how the template behaved there. It works fine. Tried on a laptop... no problem. This led me to believe that since I had a dev machine with visual studio and vsto and such, that my machine was just 'special'.
Until... one of my beta users ran into the same problem with there basic non dev laptop.
Have tested on about 10 machines and so far it is just the 2 that are having problems. Have un/re installed which was a no go.
Any ideas as to what causes this? Missing Update, Registry Setting, Word Setting

Do not delete normal.dot or normal.dotm!
You can rename these as a diagnostic but deleting them can cost you many hours of work without providing any benefit.
Is Word 2010 the program on each computer?
Did any of them have earlier versions of Word on them? When they open Word from scratch, do any of them show "Compatibility Mode" in the title bar?

Service Request Building Block

Hello everyone,
We are currently evaluating the use of the Service Request for a incident/'alarm" tracking scenario.
In this regard, does anyone know if there is a building block configuration guide for this? I was looking in the Best Practices but i was unable to find a specific one for Service Request. I would appreciate any help, or extra info.
Many thanks in advance,
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
You can go through this help document to know more about Service Ticket scenario in IC WebClient:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/23dafbc17b5872e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Also you can have a look into the CRM best practice document "E-Service: Service Request Management (C76)", which gives the process flow.
Hope this helps!

Building blocks in TOC reference page

In the FM 8 Reference page for my TOC I have this:
<$chapnum>.<$paranum>: <$paratext> <$pagenum>
Section <$chapnum>: <$paratext> <$pagenum>
Section <$chapnum>: <$paratext> <$pagenum>
After a book update the TOC output looks like this:
Section 2: RTXLNET Concepts & Features
Section 2: About Data Organization
2.: Date Specifications
Missing from the output is the second level number for heading 3, e.g. the ".1" in "2.1: Date Specifications". What is the correct building block? Apparently <$paranum> is not correct.
Thanx,
William

<$paranumonly> gives you just the counter info.
<$paranum> gives you everything in the autonumber field

ITunes Building Block not passing editing credential for instructor user

When we first installed the Vanderbuilt iTunes U Building block in Blackboard Learn Version 9.0, our instructor credential was successfully passed and had editing rights within courses. The editing access mysteriously vanished shorty after installing the block. When I installed the block again, the editing access worked for about 10 minutes and then disappeared again. When logged in as an iTunes U admin, the admin can only edit the main page, but can't edit within courses. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thank you for adding the ability to manage sections and divisions! This could not have come at a better time for us.
I have found a few discrepancies between the XSD and the actual behavior. Perhaps you could shed some light on these differences:
1. DeletePermission is documented, both in the PDF and in the XSD, as taking a ParentHandle and a Permission. However, this does not work - I get the following error:
No Credential node specified in XML at #document-->ITunesUDocument-->DeletePermission
Sending a ParentHandle and a Credential (string) does work, however.
2. AddTrack expects a property called Title:
Property Title is absent, but required at element #document-->ITunesUDocument-->AddTrack-->Track
This property does not seem to be documented anywhere.
3. What do the Destructive and MergeByHandle options mean for MergeTrack? Tracks do not seem to have any children for which these options would be relevant.
4. The XSD for Section elements does not allow children to be Division elements. This appears to contradict the data model.
5. Similarly, Section and Course do not allow Permission elements according to the XSD, but Site, Group, and Division do. And Division does not include Handle, Identifier, or ShortName either.
6. What are all the elements that can have an AllowSubscription property? The docs are vague about this.
And one last request:
Can the error checking be improved for content uploads? Right now, if anything goes wrong, I just get a response of:
Which is not very helpful. One case that will produce this message is if the Content-type/Content-disposition headers for the MIME envelope are unquoted, even though this is technically legal.
Thanks!

What are the required building blocks to place part of an application into the cloud?

Hi there,
I have a Windows client/server business management/accounting application written in VBA/Access.
I am thinking of making small parts of the application available in the cloud, for example QUOTES.
First of all, I am not sure if this forum is the right place to ask these questions!
I would like users to be able to access their quotes via tabled or smart phone and be able to add or modify records.
I am interested to find out what building blocks are required to achieve this.
My initial thoughts are as follows:
The user exports their quotes from the application (A) in XML format
The user uploads the XML data into SQL server on my website (?)
The user logs into a mobile app (B) that is connected to the SQL server
The user adds/modifies records in app (B)
The user then downloads their records in XML format from SQL server from my website (?)
The XML data is read and updated in application (A)
In terms of the SQL server I was also wondering if each user should have their own database or whether all users should use the same table QUOTES for example?
Any hints or tips would be really appreciated and many thanks in advance...
Have a wonderful day...
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE issue.
I have a Windows client/server business management/accounting application written in VBA/Access.
Just to make this issue clearly, is it related to the Office development like this MSDN document?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee814735(v=office.14).aspx
If it is related to the Office development, I suggest you post this issue to the
Office development forum like this thread “How
to move an Access App with VBA to the Cloud w/o re-coding? Amazon Web Services Virtual Machine ? Or What ?”.
If not, please feel free to let me know, I will help you find the correct forum for this issue.

How to determine the time building block type in hxc_time_building_blocks

Is there a way for me to determine what the time building block type is in hxc_time_building_blocks? I need to query the table and only select entries that are absence related (Vacation, Holiday, Sick Leave). I have the person's absence data from the table per_absence_attendances, I need a way to use the data from that table to get the time building block from hxc_time_building_blocks.

I could ask "supported by what?" but I assume you will
be the one supporting them. Here's a link to the
latest list of registered MIME types.HERE's the link...

How to get the name of the selected building block in a building block content control?

Hello,
How can I obtain the name of the selected building block in a building block content control?
I want to use this together with an on exit-event to populate other content Controls depending on the name of the selected building block item.
Environment: Word 2010.
Thanks,
Peeter

Hi Peeter,
As far as I know the building block is the pre-built content, and the
BuildingBlock object represents a building block in a template. After add the building block to the document, it inserts the content to the document.
Building blocks are stored in the templates, therefore, to access the building blocks available for a document, we need to access an attached template.
So, I think, we can’t obtain selected building block in the document.
There are some links that may benefit you:

This works, using the ASAP 1 watermark that is in bold. ASAP 1 is a built-in building block, if i just rename this to ASAP, but save it in the same place with buildingblocks.dotx it wont work. What do i need to do to be able to use this with my custom building
blocks?

How to reproduce Building Blocks Synth apple loop

hi, a very specific question that you cant answer unless you listen to sample in question - a sample in LPX apple loops called Building Blocks Synth. There is a bass line and a recurring synth chord which closes out every time it appears I think with some kind of filter effect - a bit like a closing hi hat on a plucky synth - a sound I just think is fantastic, but for the life of me cannot work out how it is done. If you get a chance can you cast your expert ear and for those experts , let me know how you think you get the synth sound and effect. You can hear it better if you copy into a track and boost the high end and low end EQ .
I would not normally ask such a question on here but it is bugging me and I could spend my life looking at tutorials to try and work out what it is but not get there.
Many thanks in advance for anybody who takes the time to listen to it.
A related question if anyone happens to know: if I include the loop in a song and successfully commercialise it, is it royalty fee?

I have a a problem a bit like the one described previously.
In Set. 2007 I bought my first mac...an iMac 24".
3-4 months later I had trouble with my HD. The tech support told me that my HD was damaged and could not be fixed. They couldn`t explain why, but they changed my old HD with a new one and problem solved.
Last month as I was installing the snow leopard operating sistem my iMac froze in the midle of the instalation procedure. I turned it off holding down the power button, and when I turned the power back on I got that flashing folder with a question mark in the middle. In short...after trying everything (formating, partitioning etc) I took it to the shop to hava a look.
The tech guy just got off the phone with me saying that my HD was damaged and could not be repaired. The only solution is to replace it with a new one.
In 2 years I had to change 2 HD`s!!!!
My only guess is that bootcamp might have something to do with it cause it frooze the computer lots of times requiring me to turn it off by pressing and holding down the power button one to many times.
Does anybody know any other reason for this to have happended?
Could the installation of snow leopard have had anything to do with this?

How to go about building a app that searches for and displays pages from Google.

I was wondering how i would go about building an app that takes a users input such as a sentence (not a URL) and then searches for their input on Google. This app would then have to display a selected page automatically on the UIWebView.
My existing code in my viewcontroller.m is as follows:
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad]; [webView loadRequest: [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]]];
I now want my app to use a users input (a word or a sentence) and search Google with that input but do it in the background then display the first search result in the UIWebView, what code would i need?
Thanks

Sorry, I cant view the App Store Review Guidelines
https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.htmllink, maybe its because i dont have a developers account yet i will be getting one when i am ready to launch my app on the app store.

What is the transaction code for running Building block & ECatts?

Hai guys,
I am building a new organisation structure using Building block Library. Can somebody tell me which transaction Code to use as well as from where I can download the variant files?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
maheshwaran. I

Hello Maheshwaran,
For the beifit of others looking for this question,
To create a building block : /smb/bbi -- > building block builder. --> create new Building blocks.
This has to be attached to a scenario and inturn to a solution.
To downlad the variant files : Go to Transaction SECATT --> Enter the eCatt configutation name --> click on display.
Now in the Edit Menu, you can see the option to download variant files.
Regards,
Karthi

Is anyone aware of a Building Block for Blackboard and iTunesU?

We are having some difficulties getting our authentication up and running using our Blackboard system as the transfer authority to iTunesU. We are trying this with the Perl script but may not be working at this right. I thought that there might be enough Blackboard users and programming gurus out there that perhaps someone is working on a Building Block to use with Blackboard and iTunesU.

We have a process to go from Desire2Learn to iTunesU. You should be able to do the same sort of thing with blackboard.
What we did, is we setup a javascript post request coming out of Desire2Learn. This post request contains the course name, username and a few other important bits of information. This request goes to one of our servers which processes the passed information, and generates the necessary itunes tokens and then startes the itunes u authentication process.
There is no reason why you couldn't do something similiar in blackboard. Either way, you are going to need a "middleman" server to intercept the request out of Blackboard, and then process it and iniatiate the iTunes U authentication process.
