Adding general and specific links on Benefits plans in ESS

Hi Experts,
I am trying to provide general and specific links to each benefit plan in ESS. SAP provides a IMG customization for this: spro>Personal Management>Benefits>Employee Self-Service>Define URLs.
I need to enter the URL parameters here. I have a doubt here. what should I give the path of a URL. Can i create a BSP application (a HTML file containing the description about the plan) and provide the path of the link in URL path?
What should I do if I want to display the description of each plan in a PDF file and provide a link to that PDF on ESS?
Thanks!
I

Quite simply....the URL link is exactly that....the link as it would appear in your browser. Typically, for general informtion about plan types, you would have something like "http://intranet.myCompany.com/benefits_us.html" and then for the plans themselves, it might be the link to the actual company's web site like "http://www.DocInABox.com".
The links can be to whatever...a web site, a PDF file, a Word document, etc.....as long as it can be reached via a URL. Since the "context" of the information will be fairly static, just throwing together a simple web page is usually the easiest method (and it allows for easy maintenance since HR folks will often want changes....not to mention the marketing people too!).
As far as how/where to store the internal content, that will depend on your own company's policies. It could be some content server or web server out on your network or you could even store the files/pages/content in KM and reference them from there. The sky is the limit.

General and specific questions on the applicability of Sun Studio 11

Hi. In an e-mail letter from Sun Microsystems I read about Sun Studio 11 to "utilize its record-setting parallelizing compilers." From this message I was attracted by the possibility of adding something like parallel processing, not by changing the processor (hardware), but by adding Sun-Studio-11 software to a Linux operating system. Now I already have a Fortran compiler, the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux, which is free and can handle Cray-style pointers, a feature hard to find in a free Fortran compiler.
1a. So for the most basic of questions, without having parallel-processing hardware, just an ordinary processor [a 1-GigaHertz (GHz) Advanced MicroDevices Duron central processing unit, in my case], is it possible to have parallel processing and thereby increase one's computing speed by installing Sun Studio 11 in a Linux operating system?
1b. If so, by what factor could one expect the speed of computation to increase over not having Sun Studio 11 installed? (If the gain in speed is dependent on the type of computations being performed, I imagine possibly using a Fortran code to perform numerical calculations using and perhaps searching for minima or maxima in a two-or-more-dimensional surface. So please give me an idea of the sort of gain in speed one could expect for these two types of activites, calculations using formulas and searches for minima and maxima among already-computed quantities.)
1c. Again if so, how could one just by adding software have parallel processing without two or more hardware processors? In other words, what is the basic working principle of the software to make the simultaneous performance of multiple tasks (multitasking or parallel processing) possible?
2a. Does Sun Studio 11 include a Fortan compiler?
2b. If so, must one use it to have parallel processing with Sun Studio 11?
2c. Or will the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux work with Sun Studio 11 to have a parallel processing capability?
Concerning hardware requirements I read that Sun Studio 11 requires a minimum of 512 MegaBytes (MB) of memory, presumably Random Access Memory (RAM). My Hewlett-Packard, ZE1110, Pavilion, notebook computer has 256 MB of RAM, but is expandable to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. So in this respect it is in principle at least technically possible for me to meet the minimum system requirement for Sun Studio 11 with my computer, if I choose to increase its RAM. Somehow accommodating the cost of such a RAM addition, including whether one may have to buy two, matching, 256-MB RAM modules or just presumably one additional 256-RAM module, is another requirement. But before spending money for such an upgrade, one should first thoroughly investigate other matters to determine if other things are going to work and to determine what gain, if any, one could expect in computing speed with Sun Studio 11 and an additional 256 MB of RAM; then decide, based on such data, whether the purchase is personally worth the money or not. That's one motivation behind this posting; another motivation is for me to learn some things.
Lastly I would like to here thank whoever was thoughtful enough to provide the Sun Download Manager (SDM) 2.0, which allows the pausing and resumption of the 207-MB download studio11-lin-x86.tar.bz2 for the Linux version of the Sun Studio 11! Using a slow, dialup, Internet connection like mine having a maximum speed of 28.8 kilobits/second, this makes it possible to download that file over a number of Internet sessions instead of having to have an uninterrupted, 19-or-more-hour Internet session. Besides the invconvenience of tying up one's telephone line for that long a time, it might be even be difficult to have such an uninterrupted Internet session for that long a time. I have at least started such a download using the SDM 2.0 potentially over multiple Internet sessions. Whether or not I carry it out to completion could depend on whether everything looks good with Sun Studio 11 for my particular situation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for both of your postings here. I'm mostly trying to learn something here.
From Maxim Kartashev: "For example, if one thread (or process, or lwp) frequently performs an I/O operation, then the other thread (process, lwp) can utilize processor resources to perform, say, some computations while first one waits for operation to complete."
I think I might understand what you meant above. I guess lwp in the above context stands for light-weight process. And I think you may be talking about a potential gain in speed with just one, ordinary processor. I guess you meant that one program, or perhaps group of programs, could perform input/output processes at the same time it is performing calculations because different parts of the processor are being used in these two groups of processes. Then on "while first one waits for operation to complete" I guess you meant that if the input/output operations finish before the computations finish, then thread 1 that was performing the input/output operations will have to wait until the current computations ordered by thread 2 are complete before thread 1 can utilize the computational resources for its own computations; i.e., two threads can't use the same computational resources of an ordinary processor at the same time. How is my thinking so far, Maxim, right, partly right, or all wrong?
Now if the above thinking of mine is right, then it appears that one could have some gain in speed doing things like you suggest with just one, ordinary processor. And if so, I imagine that the gain could be a maximum of a factor of two for a program that requires spending as much time in input and output as it does in computation; i.e., keeping both the computational and input/output resources working all of the time without the input/output resources waiting on the computational resources or vice versa. How is my thinking here?
If the above thinking is correct, just for purposes of discussion with just one, ordinary processor, not a dual processor, and a program which does nothing but computations there would be no gain in speed using Sun Studio 11 and a Fortran compiler over not using Sun Studio 11. In other words, to increase the speed of computation one would have to buy a faster computer, buy parallel processing hardware for an existing computer and use parallel-processing software, or somehow figure out how to harness two or more computers to work for you at the same time with instructions from one piece or perhaps set of pieces of code set up for parallel processing using two or more different computers. The latter case would be a computer analogue or "two 'heads' are better than one," not human heads, but computers. How is my thinking here?
Here I am still assuming that it is possible for one processor to be used to do two different kinds things at once. However, I don't see how one Fortran program could instruct two things to be done at once. This is because I have not seriously studied parallel processing, I suppose. That is I am used to a sequential set of instructions that proceed from top to botton down the lines of code; i.e., one instruction or line of code can't be executed until the line of code before it has been completely executed. That is the computing "world" with which I am familiar. So how about someone here teaching me with an example of parallel-processing Fortran code how parallel processing works, explaining what instruction or group of instructions tells the computer to execute input and computational instructions at the same time?
Based on the encouraging information from one or more other people I have been able to use the Intel Fortran for Linux 8.1.024, if I remember correctly, in a computer with a 1-GigaHertz (GHz), Advanced MicroDevices (A.M.D.), Duron Processor. So this is at least one case where it is not essential to have an Intel processor to use the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux 8.1.024.
Is the Sun Fortran compiler free for personal use? And can it handle Cray-style pointers?

Adding Facebook and Twitter links to iWeb

Can anyone explain how to add FB and Twitter logos and links to my entry page/
Thanks

If you are looking to link to your facebook or twitter page like shown on my contact page it is done pretty much as "milknjuice" has said.
http://jeffnitschke.com/Contact.html
However, if you are looking to add a facebook "like this Page" it doesn't work when publishing to mobileme.
I do not use twitter so, I am not sure if "re-tweet" or whatever falls to thew same issues or not.

Dynamically generated Detailed navigation and related link

Where is the Detailed navigation and related link configured for the ESS/MSS.
Is it done in the Homepage Framework configuration?
I could see different navigation and related links for different worksets within ESS/MSS getting called dynamically. Where is this configured.

Hello Sir,
If you haven't made it at this point, this is indeed done via the Home Page Framework via the backend on the following IMG PATH:
> Cross-Application Components
> Homepage Framework
1. You make a resource available via the Role (via PCD)
2. You customize every other part as a cascade:
Define Area group / Headers
-> Define Areas / Assign Area to Area Group
-> Define Subareas / Assign subarea to Area
-> Define Services / Assign Services to Subarea.
Hope I have clarified.

Bentow.

Asigning Reports, specific tables and Url links to the Role

Hello Gurus,

Hi Srinivas,
"i want to add only one particular table not all tables", you can do this using a Custom Transaction Code, the following are the steps to do it:
1) goto se93, give a unique name, say zxxx
2)Enter SE16 into the transaction field and select the flag the skip initial screen field:
3)On the lower portion of the screen, enter the following information:
Name of screen field: DATABROWSE-TABLENAME
Value: Enter the name of the table you want to browse with
4)save it.
5) Now add the transaction zxxx in th role, and assign it to the user.
With this, when user executes the transaction, he/she will be able to see only the perticular table you added.
"in PFCG what is the use of Exper mode for profile generation. what is the difference between general profile generation and expert mode profile generation".
Expert mode has 3 options:
1) Delete and recreate profile and authorizations---This will completely delete the old profile and add only the new once.
2) Edit old status----It will edit the old values
3) Read old status and merge with new data----This will add the new values aithout actually disturbing the old ones.
Hope it helps.
Please award points if it is useful.

Basic tutorial shows adding a logo to lighthouse picture is easy, File + Place. I don't have "Place" in my dropdown. I only have "Place Embeded" and "Place Linked". What am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. The January 2014 update of Photoshop CC added the option to embed OR link Smart Objects. Until this Photoshop CC update, Smart Objects were always embedded in the Photoshop document. Although it made the file size larger, it was like a built-in backup plan because any placed files were included in the document. Now you have the option of embedding or linking the Smart Object. Linking references the file rather than actually copying it to your current file. In terms of your small tutorial, choose Embed.

How to bind the user-defined watch to a specific server so that server's Health would show green ball and is linked to Monitoring watch?

Hi,
I create a user defined watch for BI4.1 ExplorerExplorationServer server in CMC -> Monitoring.
Caution:
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==1 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==2 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==4 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==6 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==7 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Health State'==1
Danger:
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==0 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Server Running State'==5 ||
node.ExplorerExplorationServer$'Health State'==0
However, in CMC -> Servers -> Explorer Services, the ExplorerExplorationServer shows "Information is not available" blue ball in Health.
How do I bind the user-defined watch to a specific server so that server's Health would show green ball and is linked to Monitoring watch?
Regards,
Jin-Chong

Hello JinChong,
We had created User-defined Explorer watches on our environments and have run into issues.
Have received many false alerts even though Explorer servers are running fine.
After creating an AGS case it was informed to us that Explorer does not have monitoring capabilities.
AGS is checking with solution architect of Explorer application about when the monitoring watches for explorer would be included.

GRC PC 2.5 table for task plan and testlog and its link

Hi,
I want to know the list of tables used and the link between the tables related to GRC PC.
Mainly I need tables involved while creating task plan, test logs. We need to develop a report using this data. We need to know how the tables are linked. We saw some two, three GRPC tables, in which the primary key is GUID. We need to know how this GUID is getting generated and on what basis we can retrieve this information from the tables.
There is one report in report center of GRC PC 2.5. In that selection screen, is it possible to add another filed and based on that retrive data.
Regards,
Karthick S
Edited by: Karthick Sitaraman on Apr 24, 2009 9:55 AM

Karthick,
I can offer the following:
1) SP07 was released on 4/20/2009 and contains a new report "Test Step Status." You might want to look at this report so you don't unnecessarily reinvent the wheel. This would, however, require application of SP07. That report has 42 available fields.....lots of data.
2) The table that contains Test plan Master data is HRP5327.
We previously had minor reporting change required and SAP was able to issue a fix for it. The request was a minor, natural extension of an existing report. Part of the problem is that we have very limited web dynpro ABAP skills in house so development of a report was very time consuming. Another option you might want to look at is BI.
I hope this helps.

Lower Specification Limit and Upper Specification Limit on Inspection Plan

Hi Experts:
I'm trying to input the lower and upper specification limit on inspection plan. I created my inspection characteristic but when I trying to digit the values, the systems erase that and give me the values from the inspection characteristics
Any idea?

Hi Deihus,
1.     While creating MIC you create it with upper, lower and target limits.
2.     The same MIC when you use in inspection plan, all the control indicators and lower, upper values get copied in to inspection plan from MIC.
3.     In fact this is the reason you can use this characteristic for several material.
Kindly excuse me as I could not interpret the term when I trying to digit the values . To digit value means what?
Whether you want to put different values in inspection plan rather than getting copied from MIC? If yes, you can do so. Just overwrite the values on QP01/QP02 and save.
Regards,
Anand

Counting Downloads and hits to specific links using UAG

I am reading UAG first time, can some body explains in simple words that how/where we will install UAG(i mean it has client and server components or install on a single machine)? keeping in mind that we have 3 entities i.e user, our organization server
and paid web resource.
Also Can/how we count the downloads/hits of specific link/website/resource by users by installing UAG?
Thanks in Advance.

The most likely cause is if the phone was supplied by 3 and has their branded software instead of the standard Nokia software and that that is restricting your access. Was the other phone you tried an equivalent network model?

Dynamic datatable and command link

I'm having a problem creating CommandLink's automatically. What we have is a tag, which can contain a set of data. We need this on several locations, so we have to create a datatable dynamically. When you press a link, it should be possible to retrieve the ID of the component on that specific row.
The problem is, we can create the table with the necessary data. When I construct the column with the ID (and the link), it fails.
Code:
HtmlCommandLink link = new HtmlCommandLink();
Application app = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
ValueExpression ve = app.getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(elContext,"${" + TABLE_VAR_NAME + "." + property + "}", Object.class);
link.setValueExpression("value", ve);
link.getAttributes().put("rowId", ve.getExpressionString() );
link.addActionListener(
    new ActionListener(){
     public void processAction(ActionEvent arg0)
          throws AbortProcessingException {
          LOG.info(">>>>>>>>>>>>> Linked pushed !!" +
          arg0.getComponent().getAttributes().get("rowId"));
selectColumn.getChildren().add(link);
datatable.getChildren().add(selectColumn);The rowId is always #{row.code}, instead of the actual data. Is there a way to create a command link dynamically, press it and retrieve the ID of that field? That expression should be evaluated at runtime and added to the datatable, but that doesn't happen apparently.

I've read your article, but I didn't find anything I could use. Facing a deadline and don't really have time to try out multiple (possible) solutions. The problem is that all the examples I can find point to MethodBinding, but I don't need that. I just need to get the ID of the row that was clicked, nothing more.
This works fine:
link.setValueExpression("value", ve);I don't see why the other expression isn't evaluated.
I can do getParent().getParent() to get a reference to the DataTable, but the datamodel on that object is empty btw.

PSD Layer Comps and updating links

I love InDesign's ability to show/hide PSD layers in InDesign, and especially to display Layer Comps of PSD files.
But InDesign seems to have trouble "remembering" which layers / Layer Comps to show when updating links.
An example:
Let's say a product exists in 3 versions: black, white and blue.
A PSD contains a productshot in these 3 color versions using some common and some color-specific layers. A Layer Comp with the color name is assigned to each set of layers that displays the according color version.
Now it's easy to place the PSD in InDesign, choose 'Object Layer Options' (which can contain multiple other layers) and set the correct Layer Comp (eg: "blue").
I set 'When Updating Link' to 'Keep Layer Visibility Overrides' to make sure InDesign remembers the correct color when the PSD is edited.
Now you feel the trouble coming… let's say an extra color red should be added. I add the red version (including a 'red' layer comp) to the same PSD and save it.
When updating existing links, InDesign messes up the existing 'Object Layer Options'. The black version will now show blue, etc…
'Layer Comp' in 'Object Layer Options' does actually show 'blue' while it was 'black' before the update.
Removing the red Layer Comp and save the PSD again doesn't restore the correct Layer Comp in InDesign.
I used this feature often, and updating links never caused me any trouble until now.
Is this a bug, or are the update link options not to be trusted (and was I just lucky in the past)…?

Thanks for the clarification!
I guess I was lucky with other files that retained the correct object layer options.
Too bad for this limitation. It makes the whole object layer options feature quiet limited.
I'll add a feature request.
