Alternate modes in PPDS

Dear Friends,
i have created alternate sequence in ECC this is transferred to APO as modes. when planning in APO it takes standard sequence always for planning. now my requirement is if the load is already there for the standard sequence/mode the system has to automatically schedule to the alternate sequence. but now this can be done only manually which my client is not accepting. Pls let me know if there is anyway where we can overcome this problem.
Regards

transaction is /sapapo/cdpsc5, you can copy from optimisation profile sap001,
you can use at it is sap001 also.
after you open the optimisation proflie you can explore the functionality.
but i think you dont need to change anything expect optimisation horizon.
you can call this optimisation in last step of planning run.
if you further need any help please revert back.

How to restrict the alternate modes in PP/DS???

Hi all,
I have 2 levels of production, 1st is semifinished and 2nd is finished (which uses the 1st as an input)
I want to relate the activities of these 2 orders such that for example,
if 1st order is from resource A, then 2nd order can be restricted.
can I use a transportation matrix from these resources or activities but they are not in the same order, they are predecessor and successor orders.
Thanks.

Alternate Source Determination u0096 PPDS

Dear All ,
System
Working on SCM Release: 5.0 . PPDS .
Background Master data settings
We Have Created two alternate PPMs namely P and Q for product A and product B. First PPM P has priority 0 and PPM Q has priority 1. PPM P has resource X and PPM Q has resource Y. Strategy profile is for find slot and resources are finite scheduled.
Transactional process and observation
When I performed a planning run the system created a planned order for Product A the system by default took up the first PPM P and booked resource X, when we created the second planned order for product B same date and time it still used the first PPM P and over loaded the resource X instead of finitely scheduling it.
Our query
Why is the system not able to perform simultaneous material capacity planning?? Why is the system not able to recognize that the capacity of resource X is consumed and therefore shift to resource Y using PPM Q??
Request you to review the above scenario and support .
Thanks and Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Hello Prashant
You could use alternate modes instead of alternate PPMs and that the alternate mode is selected on overloading of the primary resource.
I have tried it in SNP scenario once.
You could also try the wave heuristics. This will plan the preferred resources first and then fill in the alternative resources for each product.
(/SAPAPO/REM_HEUR_WAVE)
The heuristic does the planning in 3 steps. A backward wave scheduling, followed by a forward wave scheduling and the finite scheduling for the remaining lots which can not be planned due to capacity constraints to the end of the period.
Hope you are able to resolve your situation with this heuristic.

Mass Upload of Define Mode Combinations_PPDS to SNP PPM

Dear All ,
I am converting huge numbers of PPDS PPMs to SNP PPMs , I would need your support in telling me a mass upload ( program ) for defining Mode Combinations transaction .
As such a BDC has been prepared but that takes a very long time for pushing data in this transaction .
Thanks and Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Dear Murali ,
I have specific field values e.g. variable lot size , without PPDS Campaign , Blank Mode Combination to be selected .
When we select the PPDS PPM no. or Product Location Combination inserting all these values in the table after execute done on the selection screen needs manual entry of all the field values .
Data is really very huge and was wondering if there could be a quicker way out . There is more SNP PPM converted from PPDS PPM due to alternate modes of 10-15 in many of the PPDS PPMs .
Would appreciate any further help .
Thanks and Best Regards ,

Picking alternate nodes

Hi friends,
I wish the PPDS to pick alternate modes in DS board or automatic run, using reschedule/SAP0001 function(hope this is the correct one). I made following settings
I have a ppm with alternate resources. Each resource has different capacity consumption(hope this is ok?)
Resources are finite capacity
DS strategy is finite slot/forward, select any mode is active, lowest mode priority is set to O, while modes are A & B. In scheduling sequence no selection is made(don't know what to select)
Created multiple PP orders (infinite strategy/backward scheduling) at the end of planning period. This schedules orders on mode A resource. I wish the system pick the alternate mode when I reschedule/SAP0001 function. This is not happening with the above settings. Welcomes any suggestion.

Hi Vardev,
Few questions
What type of resource you are using single mixed / Multi mixed?
Can you just try in DS board reschedule function by selecting one order whether it works?
Find slot forwards will try to find slot in future from current order dates if at that time there is overload on current resource and slot is free at alternative resource it will schedule order on alternative resource.
I will suggest check whether alternative mode has sufficient free slot from current start date of order as you have mentioned capacity consumption is different for alternative resources. If alternative resource requires more time that much free slot may not be available upto end of planning horizon from current order start date you can check this by manual drag drop to alternative resource.
Let me know this sorts out problem or not.
Regards,
Siddharth

Please help, cannot compare images in full screen mode

I am not able to compare 2 images in full screen mode. I am using a MBP and a ACD 23". The main image will remain in the ACD while the image being compare is being shown in the MBP.
I am able to compare images in the viewer mode.
My main display is the ACD 23 which I selected using the display preferences under 'Arrangement' with the menu bar located on the ACD. In Aperture, Secondary Viewer is set to Blank.
I had also tried different combinations of Main Viewer and Secondary Viewer settings but was not successful.
Am I missing something? Anyone have the solution?Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have any suggestions to using Aperture to edit images using a MBP and ACD so that it best utilize Aperture full screen mode in comparing and narrowing down to the pick.
I am now trying to use the MBP as the main display and ACD as the secondary. This way I am able to compare images with the MBP in the Browser mode and the ACD display the compare images full screen. It work with the secondary display - ACD set to mirror, span and alternate mode.
It would be best if only one screen is use and hence save energy consumption (reducing global warming and bill, if it help).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or and solutions.

Photoshop and Kuler panel - match color modes?

I would like to see the Kuler panel in Photoshop match the color mode of the active image... or at the very least, be able to switch to alternate modes aside from RGB in the Kuler Panel.

I've been updating a pre-existing Brand Kit for a company, and noticed that their web team used Kuler to establish all variants of color (Hex, RGB and CMYK). When I was tasked to collect everything into a Brand Guidelines deck, I noticed the discrepancy between Kuler and Illustrator, but for only the CMYK values.
So I went looking for an answer. Most of what I've found online, is that a) Color Spaces play a part in which CMYK values are being offered and b) Kuler isn't 100% accurate in determining CMYK. That said, as I've done for years, I've leaned on the software itself (Photoshop or Illustrator) to provide the right values.
This post helped reaffirm my instinct:

R3 Product Versions to be Mapped as Modes in APO

Hi,
I have several product versions in R3 (generally based on differen work centers)
I would like to transfer these versions in 1 PPM but with different alternate MODES.
How can I do that, bu using a user-exit etc. ?
Thanks all..

Alternate resources

Hi all,
I have to create a PPM with alternate modes. I can do it in APO. But not sure how to make setups in R3 PP-PI. Main proble,I feel, I am not sure how to set up alternate resources in a Recipe.
Thanks in advance
Vard

Hi Vard,
Simple steps,
Create a characteristics eg.color_char (Values : red)
Create a class with type 19 (Workcentre class type) eg. color_class, assign Color_char here.
Create 3 resources, classify them with class color_class assign the value 'Red' for all 3 of them.
Create a recipe, classify the operation (double click on the classification indicator) with the class color_class enter the valus 'Red' here too...! create required phases..!
Now CIF this PPM , you will see all the 3 resources as alternatives in APO for the phases..!
Hope this helps.

How to have more than one playlist on the iPOD mini ...?

This may seem a silly question - after all, isn't it the whole point of the iPOD ? Anyway, with my current setup, I cannot get more than one playlist onto my ipod mini.
Using Win2000Pro, connecting using USB; there have been lots of other issues involving ' cannot read/write to ipod ' which have been reported on these forums , I started having problems after Apple 'upgraded' iTunes from 4.9 ...ended up with nothing on the ipod at all. Since then a few upgrades and now running iTunes 6.0 (not 6.0.1), it DOES sync with the ipod but does not let me manage the playlists:
Since my library is > the ipod ( 4 GB model) I cannot use the option ' sync all songs & playlists' , which is what I originally used when the library was < the ipod. At that point I did get ( automatically I think..) a few playlists onto the ipod.
Howeever, since the library got too big, I have to select 'sync to these playlists only' . I use 1 master list, which works, ( it syncs all the songs to the ipod and I get just that playlist on the 'pod) but any attempt to select another playlist from that dialogue box results in consistent hanging of iTunes, and you have to kikll it in task manager.
I would have thought that you could simply drag n drop a playlist onto the connected ipod icon (that would be more elegant) but the inteface doesn't allow it..
Oh and another thing ..why does the syncing tool delete ones on the go playlists from the pod ? I can't even get around this issue by making them manually on the 'pod as they get deleted when syncing.. Grrrrhhh
Where to go from here guys & gals ??
Thanks...any tips gratefully received
Aries/ AMD Windows 2000 Draytek Wireless DSL 2 Mb

Ok I'll try that, although I did try it earlier when I had iTunes 5.xx loaded, I think.
As to size of playlists, I have a master (900 songs) that defines what will fit onto the ipod , I then generate all the others as subsets of the master (not of the library)- hence I know they will all fit
Can you also clarify something for me: the dialogue box we are discussing is intended, I think, so that one can set the automatic synching of certain playlists between the PC & the ipod. Is that the only way one can select other playlists to go to the ipod - i.e. as static once-offs, not synchronised ?
Apple' docs, I think, are poor in this regard - they assume most ipods are bigger then the users song library and they gloss over the details of this alternate mode of playlist synching.

How to have more than one condition on same column --- using SQL Loader

Hi All,
I am stuck with SQL Loader..
How do I filter records before loading in the table using when clause..
i should load data only when
field1 = 'AC' or 'VC'
field2 is NULL
i used various combinations in when clause like
a) when field1='AC' or field1='VC' and field2 = BLANKS
b) when (field1='AC') and (field2 = BLANKS )
& similar...
In all the cases I tried I could not implement OR condition with field1 and null condition with field2
but my main concern is can we use OR or IS NULL things in when clause of SQL Loader..
is it possible to check this anywhere??
any alternate solution u could suggest??
Thanks

I need API for Narrator in Ease of Access

Hi,
I need to see if Narrator accessibility is on/off. (Only on WP 8.1)
How can it be done? Is there any API for this?
I was googling for a long time and can't see anything.

While I recognize the potential for abuse, an API for determining whether or not Narrator is running would be very useful for developing accessible apps that work across devices.
In my limited experience developing the test application for a Cordova accessibility plugin on Windows Phone 8.1, I can provide a couple good reasons for providing a way to detect if Narrator is running.
Aria live regions simply don’t appear to work on Windows Phone 8.1. If you test any web pages that use live regions, Narrator on Windows Phone fails to announce changes to the live region.
Live regions seem to work on the desktop, but are harder to work with for providing text to speech for complex interactions than the Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis API. For example:
It’s difficult to stop speaking a live region update. Once, a screen reader starts speaking a string from a live region, removing the text node or replacing it with an empty string will not stop speaking that string.
I’ve implemented "speak" and "stop" methods to speak or stop speaking a string of text in my Cordova accessibility plugin for Windows, but without knowing whether or not Narrator is on or off, the methods will work all the
time, even when Narrator is off, which is not desirable.
Cordova apps are often developed to use gestures for navigation. The pointer event listeners that respond to these gestures may not be accessible when Narrator is active, in which case is important to provide an alternate mode of navigation. Windows
Phone already provides an example of this; if you scroll to the bottom of the start screen, there is a button that navigates to the application list, which may be there for accessibility, because the two-finger swipe gesture to access the application
list may not be easily discoverable to someone using Narrator.
Here are links to the test application and mobile accessibility plugin for reference:

Missing operations and dummy activity in process order

Hi,
we currently maintain several alternate modes in PP/DS PPMs in APO.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in R/3 everything is fine.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in APO, all of the operations are missing and there is a dummy activity present.
We also noted this only occurs when the mode selected in APO by default uses a different resource than the one assigned to the PPM's recipe back in R/3. That is, if the recipe in R/3 uses resource LINE_01 and APO selects resource LINE_02 by default, the issue occurs.If the recipe uses LINE_02 and the APO selects LINE_02 by default, then everything is fine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before ?
Thanks,
Roger

Hi Visu,
For right now, the planned order is created in the product view.
In R/3, the recipe has an operation which uses LINE_01 resource (let's say, production version is L1)
In APO, there are several alternate modes :
LINE_01
LINE_02
LINE_03
By default, when the planned order is created in the product view, the mode with the shortest duration is chosen. In this case, if I create a planned order using the PPM for production version L1, and LINE_03 happens to have the shortest duration, then the order is created for LINE_03. Since LINE_03 is not the resource used in the recipe for production version L1, we run into the issue I mentioned previously.
Coincidently, I also noticed that the R/3 process order type is set to schedule automatically.
When I go into edit mode on the process order operation, make no changes, but then save the order the correct resource and operations reappear in APO.
Regards,
Roger

No image in Photoshop CS6

I am using the creative cloud version of CS6, I try to open an image, I can see the image title in the window tab, but no Image appears.

That's usually not an acceptable solution, just a workaround. You lose all the GPU-specific features with that setting.
If your GPU isn't performing properly under Photoshop's command, it's likely because your display driver is buggy.
Check the web site of the maker of your video card to see whether they have released a new driver (most do, regularly). If it's an ATI card, specifically seek out Catalyst 13.2 beta 5, which is known to work very well with Photoshop.
Also, you can try turning the GPU back on, but selecting one of the alternate modes (e.g., down to Basic or Normal from Advanced, if that's what it's set on).

Premier Elements will not start (needs latest graphic drivers) and HP says I have the latest drivers

AMD says I don't have the latest, but I need to download the latest from HP - and HP says I have the latest.
Is my only option to return the Premier and Photoshop Elements 12?
Is there an alternate mode that allows Premier Elements to work with somewhat older drivers with some degradation in rendering speed?
Is Premier Elements only intended for the latest computers? My laptop is 1.5 years old.
Thanks

selrahcllah
Thanks for the update. Sorry for the delayed response...got detoured.
What is your situation with regard to working in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Expert, Quick, Expert Guided, or Quick Guided? Are the displays and editing opportunities all functioning at this time?
As for the Elements Organizer thumbnail display of your video....how did you import that file into the Elements Organizer..
a. did you import the video via the Editor workspace and then let the video be automatically placed in the Elements Organizer
or
b. did you import the video in the Elements Organizer via the Elements Organizer's File Menu/Get Photos and Videos from...
What are the video and audio compressions and file extension for this video with the blank Elements Organizer thumbnail?
The first thing to try is deleting the video from Elements Organizer. Then importing the video into a Premiere Elements 12 Expert project to get it into the Elements Organizer by the automatic route.
Do not forget to right click the Elements Organizer thumbnail and select Update Thumbnail when you see the thumbnail blank (no trace of the first frame of the video).
I am trying these non-chip routes right now to get them rule in or out. We could add creating a new catalog and deleting the Elements Organizer setting file, but let us see how you do on the rest in this post.
From what you wrote, it sounded like Adobe Help took you a long way and got Premiere Elements 12 working, for everything but the Elements Organizer thumbnail playback. Give them another chance when it comes to the chips on this. Ask for a supervisor if necessary.
Based on your expected reply to the questions and suggestions above, I think it practical to pursue the above rather than switch to another program at this time.
What do you think?
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.
