An Aid For BSP Development

An Aid For BSP Development
Hi,
I have developed a small tool as an aid to BSP Development.
I describe it briefly here.
You can see screen shots on www.sapprogrammer.com. Click on BSP Find.
It turns out that the tool is even more useful than I figured as I wrote it.
It took over a year to write at weekends and in the evenings.
As it got more and more powerful I saw that it was enabling me to do things I could not otherwise have done.
I also believe it would be extremely useful to extend it in some ways that seem to offer themselves naturally now.
So heres the description:
Find a String in a BSP
(A BSP means here : The BSP in SE80 + its models defined in the BSP + its application class.)
The program runs thru a BSP and its Models and its Application Class and looks for whatever string of characters you require.
It produces a legible list showing the places you should go to find that string. (See screen shots).
Advantages:
This cuts down work time as a developer enormously.
In addition, if you seek an empty string the program will list the whole BSP. Thus you can print your BSP.
Extensions:
I have since extended it to run over a range of BSPs. You cant run over many because it takes too long but you can run over 2 or 3.
What I should like to do now:
The program proves to be so useful I should like to see if it is possible to:
* Integrate it to any extent into the ABAP Workbench. It is purposely completely separate at the moment.
* Use it to compare BSP Versions. We have just received Service Packs and a large BSP has been changed. It would be good to have a tool to show the differences between our copy of the old version and the new one.
Would anyone be interested in cooperation on this? Its probably too much work for me alone. In particular the workbench question would presumably require cooperation with SAP itself?
Kind regards
David Lawn

There is no doubt that this is a very excellent tool. We have had this problem many times before. Often we can see in the HTTP trace the error, but have no way to easily find the source in the server. What we currently do is a hack: we download the source, and search on disk. Very clumsy. In this sense, we can clearly see the value in this tool. I can only support David in saying that this is a very useful tool.
From the side of the SAP, we can unfortunately not help. I will forward you append to the workbench group to again check. But we have to see the reality that our team is already overcommited for Netweaver '05 development.
Which does not prevent you from just running this program directly from SE38 (or even better, assign it a transaction code). This does not reduce the true value of the tool.
If there are people interested in building a small group to help David, it will be good, and I see a lot of interest. Important it that you just clear the licensing aspects. I think that using the forum for communication is ok (if you don't use emails).
regards, brian

SAP Role Security for BSP

Hello Experts,
I am developing BSP application in BW Environment for some custom table maintenance which doesn't involve Portal.
I call the BSP Application with "CALL_BROWSER" FM from Programs.They want to control the access to the users based on Role or Auth Objects or others inside the system.
Because, if some user knew the URL for the BSP the security is pretty open.
Is there anyway to do security for BSP based on roles?
Best Regards
Arun Prasad

Hi,
Here are the step:
1. Create the Role in PFCG with following detail Auth Obecjt:
2. Create the Authorization Check for ICF Access Internet communication Framework (S_ICF) & with Field ID is ICF_FIELD. Chcek the checkbox SERVICES. For the same Auth Object create another Field ID "ICF_VALUE", here assign you BSP Application ID lets say MYBSP.
3. Then goto SICF transaction, goto your BSP Application node, undere service data mention this ID as MYBSP against SAP Auth.
4. Now you need to check Auth obejct before calling the FM CALL_BROWER the way you do if for normal ABAP Report.
Hope this will solve your problem. Let me know if you have any questiion.

Why are some websites, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the BNY Mellon website, denying access to users running Firefox versions newer than 3.6?

Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?

ARCHIV_DISPLAY_META & ARCHIV_DELETE_META for BSP?!

Hi Experts,
Currently I am developing a BSP attachment page which allow user to upload, delete and display attachment. I am using ARCHIV_DISPLAY_META & ARCHIV_DELETE_META to display and delete an ArchiveLink record. I found that these functions are not working for BSP but working fine in an ABAP program. Am I using the correct function? Is there any other function you can suggest?
P/s: Points will be rewarded for useful answer

GeoRaptor 3.0 for SQL Developer 3.0 and 2.1 has now been released

Folks,
I am pleased to announce that, after 5 months of development and testing, a new release of GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 2.1 and 3.0 is now available.
GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 3 is available via the SQL Developer Update centre. GeoRaptor 3 for SQL Developer 2.1 is being made available
via a download fro the GeoRaptor website.
No release notes have been compiled as the principal developer (oops, that's me!) is currently busy doing real work for a change (another 3 weeks), earning a living
and keeping the wolves at bay. More extensive notes (with images) will be compiled when I get back. (Unless anyone is offering! See next.)
We are still looking for people to:
1. Provide translations of the English dialog menus etc.
2. Write more extensive user documentation. If you use a particular part of GeoRaptor a lot and think
you have found out all its functionality and quirks, contact us and offer to write a few pages of
documentation on it. (Open Office or Microsoft Word is fine.) Easiest way to do this is to simply
make screen captures and annotate with text.
3. Conduct beta testing.
Here are the things that are in the new release.
New functionality:
Overhaul of Validation Functionality.
1. User can specify own validation SELECT SQL as long as it returns three required columns. The SQL is thus totally editable.
2. Validation update code now allows user to associate a PL/SQL function with an error number which is applied in the UPDATE SQL.
3. UPDATE SQL can use WHERE clause of validation SELECT SQL (1) to update specific errors.
 NOTE: The generated UPDATE statement can be manually edited. It is NEVER run by GeoRaptor. To run any UPDATE, copy the statement
 to the clipboard and run in an appropriate SQL Worksheet session within SQL Developer.
4. Main validation table allows:
 a. Sorting (click on column header) and
 b. Filtering.
 c. Copying to Clipboard via right mouse click sub menu of:
 - Geometry's SDO_ELEM_INFO array constructor.
 - SDO_GEOMETRY constructor
 - Error + validation string.
 d. Access to Draw/Zoom functions which were previously buttons.
 e. Added a new right mouse click menu "Show Feature's Individual Errors" that gathers up all the errors
 it can process - along with the ring / element that is host to the error (if it can) - and displays
 them in the Attribute/Geometry tabs at the bottom of the Map Window (where "Identify" places its results).
 The power of this will be evident to all those who have wanted a way of stepping through errors in a geometry.
 f. Selected rows can now be deleted (select rows: press <DELETE> key or right mouse click>Delete).
 g. Table now has only one primary key column, and has a separate error column holding the actual error code.
 h. Right mouse click men added to table menu to display description of error in the new column (drawn from Oracle documentation)
 i. Optimisations added to improve performance for large error lists.
5. Functionality now has its own validation layer that is automatically added to the correct view.
 Access to layer properties via button on validation dialog or via normal right mouse click in view/layer tree.
Improved Rendering Options.
1. Linestring colour can now be random or drawn from column in database (as per Fill and Point colouring)
2. Marking of SDO_GEOMETRY objects overhauled.
 - Ability to mark or LABEL vertices/points of all SDO_GEOMETRY types with coordinate identifier and
 option {X,Y} location. Access is via Labelling tab in layer>properties. Thus, coordinate 25 of a linestring
 could be shown as: <25> or {x,y} or <25> {x,y}
 - There is a nice "stacked" option where the coordinate {x,y} can be written one line below the id.
 - For linestrings and polygons the <id> {x,y} label can be oriented to the angle between the vectors or
 edges that come in, and go out of, a vertex. Access is via "Orient" tick box in Labelling tab.
 - Uses Tools>Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation>SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY bracket around x,y string.
3. Start point of linestring/polygon and all other vertices can be marked with user selectable point marker
 rather than previously fixed markers.
4. Can now set a NULL point marker by selecting "None" for point marker style pulldown menu.
5. Positioning of the arrow for linestring/polygons has extra options:
 * NONE
 * START - All segments of a line have the arrow positioned at the start
 * MIDDLE - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the middle.
 * END - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the END.
 * END_ONLY - Only the last segment has an arrow and at its end.
ScaleBar.
1. A new graphic ScaleBar option has been added for the map of each view.
 For geographic/geodetic SRIDs distances are currently shown in meters;
 For all SRIDs an attempt is made to "adapt" the scaleBar units depending
 on the zoom level. So, if you zoom right in you might get the distance shown
 as mm, and as you zoom out, cm/m/km as appropriate.
2. As the scaleBar is drawn, a 1:<DEMONINATOR> style MapScale value is written
 to the map's right most status bar element.
3. ScaleBar and MapScale can be turned off/on in View>Properties right mouse
 click menu.
Export Capabilities.
1. The ability to export a selection from a result set table (ie result of
 executing ad-hoc SQL SELECT statement to GML, KML, SHP/TAB (TAB file
 adds TAB file "wrapper" over SHP) has been added.
2. Ability to export table/view/materialised view to GML, KML, SHP/TAB also
 added. If no attributes are selected when exporting to a SHP/TAB file, GeoRaptor
 automatically adds a field that holds a unique row number.
3. When exporting to KML:
 * one can optionally export attributes.
 * Web sensitive characters < > & etc for KML export are replaced with > < & etc.
 * If a column in the SELECTION or table/view/Mview equals "name" then its value is
 written to the KML tag <name> and not to the list of associated attributes.
 - Similarly for "description" -> <description> AND "styleUrl" -> <styleUrl>
4. When exporting to GML one can optionally export attributes in FME or OGR "flavour".
5. Exporting Measured SDO_GEOMETRY objects to SHP not supported until missing functionality
 in GeoTools is corrected (working with GeoTools community to fix).
6. Writing PRJ and MapInfo CoordSys is done by pasting a string into appropriate export dialog box.
 Last value pasted is remembered between sessions which is useful for users who work with a single SRID.
7. Export directory is remembered between sessions in case a user uses a standard export directory.
8. Result sets containing MDSYS.SDO_POINT and/or MDSYS.VERTEX_TYPE can also be written to GML/KML/SHP/TAB.
 Example:
 SELECT a.geom.sdo_point as point
 FROM (SELECT sdo_geometry(2002,null,sdo_point_type(1,2,null),sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)) as geom
 FROM DUAL) a;
 SELECT mdsys.vertex_type(a.x,a.y,a.z,a.w,a.v5,a.v6,a.v7,a.v8,a.v9,a.v10,a.v11,a.id) as vertex
 FROM TABLE(mdsys.sdo_util.getVertices(mdsys.sdo_geometry(2002,null,null,sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)))) a;
9. A dialog appears at the end of each export which details (eg total) what was exported when the exported recordset/table contains more
 than on shape type. For example, if you export only points eg 2001/3001 from a table that also contains multipoints eg 2005/3005 then
 the number of points exported, and multipoints skipped will be displayed.
10. SHP/TAB export is "transactional". If you set the commit interval to 100 then only 100 records are held in memory before writing.
 However, this does not currently apply to the associated DBASE records.
11. SHP/TAB export supports dBase III, dBase III + Memo, dBase IV and dBase IV + Memo.
 Note: Memo allows text columns > 255 characters to be exported. Non-Memo formats do not and any varchar2 columns will be truncated
 to 255 chars. Some GIS packages support MEMO eg Manifold GIS, some do not.
12. Note. GeoRaptor does not ensure that the SRID of SDO_GEOMETRY data exported to KML is in the correct Google Projection.
 Please read the Oracle documentation on how to project your data is this is necessary. An example is:
 SELECT OBJECTID,
 CODIGO as name,
 NOME as description,
 MI_STYLE,
 SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(shape,'USE_SPHERICAL',4055) as shape
 FROM MUB.REGIONAL;
13. NOTE: The SHP exporter uses the Java Topology Suite (JTS) to convert from SDO_GEOMETRY to the ESRI Shape format. JTS does not handle
 circular curves in SDO_GEOMETRY objects you must "stroke" them using sdo_util.arc_densify(). See the Oracle documentation on how
 to use this.
Miscellaneous.
1. Selection View - Measurement has been modified so that the final result only shows those geometry
 types that were actually measured.
2. In Layer Properties the Miscellaneous tab has been removed because the only elements in it were the
 Geometry Output options which have now been replaced by the new GML/KML/etc export capabilities.
3. Shapefile import's user entered tablename now checked for Oracle naming convention compliance.
4. Identify based on SDO_NN has been removed from GeoRaptor given the myriad problems that it seems to create across versions
 and partitioned/non-partitioned tables. Instead SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE is now used with the actual search distance (see circle
 in map display): everything within that distance is returned.
5. Displaying/Not displaying embedded sdo_point in line/polygon (Jamie Keene), is now controlled by
 a preference.
6. New View Menu options to switch all layers on/off
7. Tools/Preferences/GeoRaptor layout has been improved.
8. If Identify is called on a geometry a new right mouse click menu entry has been added called "Mark" which
 has two sub-menus called ID and ID(X,Y) that will add the labeling to the selected geometry independently of
 what the layer is set to being.
9. Two new methods for rendering an SDO_GEOMETRY object in a table or SQL recordset have been added: a) Show geometry as ICON
 and b) Show geometry as THUMBNAIL. When the latter is chosen, the actual geometry is shown in an image _inside_ the row/column cell it occupies.
 In addition, the existing textual methods for visualisation: WKT, KML, GML etc have been collected together with ICON and THUMBNAIL in a new
 right mouse click menu.
10. Tables/Views/MViews without spatial indexes can now be added to a Spatial View. To stop large tables from killing rendering, a new preference
 has been added "Table Count Limit" (default 1,000) which controls how many geometry records can be displayed. A table without a spatial
 index will have its layer name rendered in Italics and will write a warning message in red to the status bar for each redraw. Adding an index
 which the layer exists will be recognised by GeoRaptor during drawing and switch the layer across to normal rendering.
Some Bug Fixes.
* Error in manage metadata related to getting metadata across all schemas
* Bug with no display of rowid in Identify results fixed;
* Some fixes relating to where clause application in geometry validation.
* Fixes bug with scrollbars on view/layer tree not working.
* Problem with the spatial networks fixed. Actions for spatial networks can now only be done in the
schema of the current user, as it could happen that a user opens the tree for another schema that
has the same network as in the user's schema. Dropping a drops only the network of the current connected user.
* Recordset "find sdo_geometry cell" code has been modified so that it now appears only if a suitable geometry object is
in a recordset. Please note that there is a bug in SQL Developer (2.1 and 3.0) that causes SQL Developer to not
register a change in selection from a single cell to a whole row when one left clicks at the left-most "row number"
column that is not part of the SELECT statements user columns, as a short cut to selecting a whole row. It appears
that this is a SQL Developer bug so nothing can be done about it until it is fixed. To select a whole row, select all
cells in the row.
* Copy to clipboard of SDO_GEOMETRY with M and Z values forgot has extraneous "," at the end.
* Column based colouring of markers fixed
* Bunch of performance improvements.
* Plus (happily) others that I can't remember!If you find any bugs register a bug report at our website.

8. Jody Garnett (GeoTools bug issues)
Finally, when at the Washington User Conference I explained the willingness of the GeoRaptor Team to work
for some sort of integration of our "product" with the new Spatial extension that has just been released in SQL
Developer 3.0. Nothing much has come of that initial contact and I hope more will come of it.
In the end, it is you, the real users who should and will decide the way forward. If you have ideas, wishes etc,
please contact the GeoRaptor team via our SourceForge website, or start a "wishlist" thread on this forum
expressing ideas for future functionality and integration opportunities.

Thank you for this.
I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
I have stumbled to few bugs:
1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
- if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Spatialites!
After 6 months of development and testing, GeoRaptor 3.2.1 has been released for SQL Developer 3.x (tested on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2). This release no longer supports SQL Developer 1.x or 2.x releases due to internal changes to the SQL Developer APIs.
GeoRaptor can be downloaded from the GeoRaptor project's sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor and installed via Help>Check for Updates>Install from Local File. Installation via SQL Developer's update mechanism should be available soon.
The release notes for this release are:
* Fixed issues with validate geometry functionality in particular the update dialog box.
* Revamped "About GeoRaptor" form. Includes clickable URLs, links to mailing lists, version number listing, thanks to testers etc.
* Placed "About GeoRaptor" icon on GeoRaptor's map toolbar.
* SQL Developer NLS settings accessed: improvements in the display and entry and numeric data.
-- Tolerances in Spatial Layer properties will display with the NLS decimal separator eg 0,05.
 Some parts of GeoRaptor such as Validation that show and accept numbers have not been changed from when someone else modified the code.
 If you double click on the left MBR/right MBR icon in the map at the bottom, the current centre position will display according to the NLS settings.
 Editing the value to jump the map to that point works even with grouping separators and decimal separators being commas!
* Spatial Layer Draw has been modified to use NLS based decimal formatting.
* New geometry marking/labelling options have been added. In particular you can now label the vertices of a linestring/polygon with the following additional elements:
-- Cumulative length
-- Measure (M)
-- Z value
-- Labelling of vertices with <id>{X,Y} now also honours 3/4D geometries. If geometry has XYY then it will be labelled as {X,Y,Z} etc.
* You can also label each vector/segment of a linestring/polygon with:
-- Length
-- Cumulative Length
-- Bearing (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Bearing and Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
* The font properties of the mark text can be changed independently of the feature label. This includes the offset and label position (CC, LL, UR etc).
* New feature labelling options have been provided:
-- First/middle/last vertex,
-- Any supplied sdo_point within a line/polygon's sdo_geometry object, or
-- Calculated by GeoRaptor on the client side using Java Topology Suite.
* Result sets now have the ability to:
-- Copy to clipboard all geometries across many rows and columns.
-- Display one or more (selected) geometries in a popup image window. This functionality is also available in the result set generated by an Identify command.
* New GeoRaptor Preferences:
-- Width and height in pixels of the new popup image window (displaying one or more geometry objects) can be set;
-- Colours of orphan, missing and correct metadata entries for Metadata Manager;
-- Prefixing with MDSYS for all currently supported spatial objects - sdo_geometry, sdo_point, sdo_elem_info, sdo_ordinates, sdo_dim_info - has been made an option.
-- There is now a new property called "Show Number Grouping Separator" in Tools>GeoRaptor>Visualisation.
 If it is ticked a number will be formatted with the thousands separator in Tools>Database>NLS eg 10000.000 will display as 10,000.000.
* Sdo_Geometry display of all spaces in text between elements of the sdo_geometry array have been removed.
 This was done mainly to compact the sdo_geometry strings so that they are as small as possible when displaying or copying to clipboard.
* Help pages added to the following dialogs with more to follow:
-- Metadata Manager,
-- Shapefile Importer and
-- Layer Properties dialogs.
* GeoRaptor menu entries renamed. New "Manage All Metadata" entry added to View>GeoRaptor menu.
* Spatial Index creation dialog now supports additional index parameters and parallel build settings.
* Metadata Manager overhauled:
a. Shows:
 1. Metadata entries which have no underlying oracle object (orphan)
 2. Metadata entries for existing underlying objects (existing case)
 3. Database objects with sdo_geometry for which no metadata entry exists (new)
b. All orphan/existing/missing colours for (a) can be set via Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation
c. All actions for main (bottom) metadata table are in a single right mouse click menu.
 Some entries will only appear if a single row is selection (metadata copy), others (delete and copy to clipboard) will appear for one or more.
d. Can now switch between open connections to modify metadata of other objects in schemas other than the starting object.
e. Buttons revamped.
* Tab/Shapefile export:
a. Export now supports NULL valued columns. Can be exported as an empty string (if DBase override in GeoRaptor Preferences is ticked) or
 as a predefined value eg NULL date => 1900-01-01 (set in new GeoRatptor Import/Export Preferences).
b. Some work attempted on export of NLS strings (still not corrected).
c. Objects with no rows now correctly processed.
* Shapefile Import
-- Bug relating to Linux file names corrected.
* Fixed issue (identified by John O'Toole) with spatial index underlying a view not being used in map display.
* Reinstated sdo_nn as the principal method for Identify (requested by John O'Toole).
* Fixed problem with handling single click zoom in and out in GeoRaptor map etc.
* Fixed problem with rendering lines from database item (identified by Vladimir Pek).The new "About GeoRaptor" should be read by all people installing GeoRaptor.
Please, please consider registering your email address with our private email list so that we can get a feel for the sorts of people downloading and installing GeoRaptor.
Please consider helping us with documentation or the internationalisation via translating properties files from English to your native language.
GeoRaptor is written and maintained by people who use SQL Developer and Spatial every day but we don't pretend we know everything that users want: please let us know via our feature request page at SourceForge.
We don't get paid for what we do so are always looking for additional help.
Here are some of the requests we have had for improvements:
1. MySQL access
2. WMS access;
3. Ability to import shapefile data into an existing table;
4. Ability to processing multiple shapefiles into separate tables (current version can import one or more into a single target table);
5. Ability to export/import layer definitions to give to others;
6. Support for non-English character sets for varchar exports to shapefiles.Some are relatively simply, some require a lot of engineering work. For the latter, we are considering alternative funding methods to the currently completely free development approach.
Thanks to the following for their invaluable assistance:
Holger Labe, Germany
John O'Toole, Ireland
Vladimir Pek, Czech Republic
Pieter Minnaar, Holland
Olaf Iseeger, Germany
Sandro Costa, Brazil;

Simon,
I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
Thanks for the effort,
Bryan

New features for BSP since release 7.0

Hi all!
Could anyone just tell me what exactly are the new features since the 7.0 release for BSP-Programming (if any exist) or tell me where to get that information (am a little confused again searching through the SAP-Site-Universe).
Thanks in advance and regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
there aren't any new features for BSP in 7.0, as there is no further devolpment for the BSP framework.

Rainer

How to set naming standards for SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04.
In the newly integrated and very useful Data Modeler, we can set preferences for the naming standards to be applied when creating logical and relational model objects ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera). I would like to know if there is a way to set naming standards for the relational objects we create in SQL Developer on existing tables ( ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera).
Any help in setting such preferences would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you want to set up a diagram for an existing database, you can use File/Data Modeler/Import/Data Dictionary to import its definitions.
Alternatively you can open a Data Modeler Browser (using View/Data Modeler/Browser), expand the node for Design "Untitled_1",
expand the node for Relational Models, and select Show from the Right-click drop-down menu for "Relational_1" to create a Relational Model diagram.
You can then drag Tables from SQL Developer's Connections tree onto the diagram.
Once you have a Relational Model you can reverse engineer it to an Entity-Relationship model using the << button in the button bar
(or by selecting "Engineer to Logical Model" from the drop-down menu for the Relational Model).
Note that there is now a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler

hi, we are using mac mini's for our developement purpose. connecting the same through using Real VNC. Mac mini's are late 2009 and 2010. Now we have upgraded them to 10.8.5. after upgrading having display issues after launching the simulators, we are unable to view the icons we need to move the simulator (into different places) to view the icons.
Also we are having Mac book pro's (Late 2009 & 2010) after upgrading them to 10.8.5. Unable to launch the mac, getting only white screen with apple icon.

[SOLVED] Recommendations needed - Arch + Apache for local development

Hello,
I'm a new Arch user, and relatively new with Linux. I'm getting to like Arch very much.
I do web development, and I do most of my programming in PERL.
I have already installed perl and some tools, and I'm about to install apache. The Idea is to have the apache server just for local development and testing.
So the question is: Do you recommend me to install some firewall?
What security measurements should I take?
Is there any easy way to enable and disable Internet access to the apache server?
Thank you!

Thank you friends.
Yes, my Internet is via router. I like the Idea to set the server to listen at local address, I will try that.
Now, as I'm new to Linux and Arch, I will like to know if I should take any extra security measurements. In windows I used anti-virus + firewall all the time, and I blocked apache to access the Internet with the firewall.
I have set a strong root password, but the "normal user" has sudo. Is that secure enough?
Is there any "must have" security tools or measurements to set is a box like mine (Desktop usage + local network (3 machines) + apache for local usage and testing only)?
Is it common to get some malware, worm, trojan, spyware or some kind of phishing just by surfing the web without user "action" to install it?
I know Linux is much safer because users and permissions. I like that very much, It feels a lot safer.
Now, I have used Arch for a week or so with no firewall (router firewall is disabled also) and no anti-virus. Absolutely no special security measurements and there seems to be no log-in attempts in logfiles .. and no problems at all. Windows without firewall and anti-virus will die in a few hours just by leaving it connected to Internet....
I just wanted to ask you all (Arch users) if you normally use Firewall, and if you take some special measurement to stay free of trojans, spyware, etc...
I will appreciate your comments.
Thank you!

Debugger not working for BSP application

Hi All,
I have 4.6C sap installation and the debugger is not working for BSP Application even when i hard code the break points.
Can anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
How many number of sessions are open ? If there are already six sessions open and then you try and get the debugger, it will not start, and you won't be able to catch that error also...!
Other than that there is no possibility that the debugger doesn't start, unless ofcourse, the logic doesn't reach the debugger point....
Hope this helps.
