Automatic generation of Image Variants

Hello.
I have a repository where I use different Image Variants. My problem is that when I upload an Image I have to manually go into the Image manager to generate the variants. I would like to have an automatic way of doing this. CLIX can not be used.
Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
Best regards
John-Kjell

Hi,
You can automatically generate the image variants.For this you import the images in data manager.In Data manager select the Images table right click in record pane and add a data group.If data group is already present then add the image to that data group or else add a data group (as a child) and then add tha image file to it.Select the option Store in Repository.Then click OK to import the image .After the image is imported in data manager the image variants are automatically filled.
In your console you have a field say images of data type Lookup image.
Then in your source create a field named images where you add reference to the images say href1,href2 etc.
In Import manager select products table then map the corresponding fields.For image field you need to do the value mapping.Then Match the records and import it.

Associating Image variants with image lookup fields

In the console reference guide you can find the following explanation on the use of Image variants:
"A variant defines the structure of the image but does not specify if the variant is actually required for a particular image.
Instead, each image lookup field in the repository has a Variants property that allows you to associate one or more variants with the image lookup field, and in so doing, identify which variants should be generated when an image is associated with that particular field.
For each variant, all the images associated with that variant will be generated according to the specifications of the variant and the crop/rotate settings stored for that image. MDM tracks the changes to the variant definitions, the variant associations, each image, and the crop/rotate settings for each image, and thus know when the variants need to be regenerated."
My question is the following:
Assuming that the definitions of the Image variants are made via the console and thus present in the Image variants table,...
Is it possible to change the Variant property of the image lookup field(s) in the main table through the Java API?
So that you could write a function that automatically associates specified Image variants with all the image lookup fields in the main table of a certain repository.
I hope somebody can help,
Joeri

Did you ever figure out your problem?
I'm trying to retrieve an image variant thru the API and always get the same error:
Error retrieving image: hr=0x80004005, ImageID=58, VariantID=1

Automatic generation of integration models

For Automatic Generation of integration Model we referred SAP Help and have done the settings as per SAP help.
     T code: CFC9
     Material Master Change Transfer         2 (BTE Transfer, Immediately)
     T code: BF11
     Maintained
     ND-APO     New Dimension PlugIn APO
     T code: SM30
     Table:     CIFIMODGEN
Connection pt     Counter     Program     Variant
MAT_INS        1     RIMODGEN     RSG_BTE
But system is not generating NEW Integration Model.
Reference from SAP Help:
Make the following settings to change to online transfer:
     Use transaction CFC9 to call the screen Change Target-System-Independent Settings in CIF. Under Change Transfer for Master Data, choose BTE Transfer, Immediately. As of SAP R/3 4.0B, you can make this setting in CIF Customizing in SAP R/3 under Basic Settings for the Data Transfer ® Configure Change Transfer for Master Data.
     Use transaction SM30 to call the screen Maintain Table Views: Initial Screen. Call table CIFIMODGEN. You see the screen Change View "Customizing Automatic Generation of Integration Models". You determine the procedure for adapting the integration model by making entries in this database table.

Did you run program RIMODGEN in SE38 with appropriate variant to generate new integration models ? The spro settings or CFC9 have nothing to do with generation of new integration models. try to do some forum search on Integration Models and you may get some clue.

Automatic creation of image

Hello,
As I'm preparing for my Powerbook to arrive with a fresh new harddrive, I've decided to not have my data lost again. What I will do is copy my userhome to an external drive every day and once a week make a full image of the entire harddisk to that same external drive.
I'm sure I'll figure out the copying bit. There are dozens of tools out there to do it for me (although I've found to be rather disappointing, only Apple Backup seems to be really worth while - but I have no need for a .mac account so that option is out).
However, the automatic making of an image is something I've never attempted on a Mac. If I insert my Tiger install dvd, I can run Disk Utility and with that make a dmg file which I'm guessing I could restore should something happen to the original drive. However, this requires me to do something and I'd prefer to have this done automatic.
So, what do I do? The system needs to reboot into a different partition, I'm guessing ... which then starts the imaging process. How do I (a) make the system reboot at a specific moment, every week; (b) make it boot from a different partition; (c) how exactly do I have disks automounted (USB connected drive, HFS+ formatted) and (d) how do I have Disk Utility automatically make an image?
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
You have a lot of questions here which I would not be really great at answering, however, there is a great FAQ about backing up that may answer some of your quetitons here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
Retrospect is an excellent backup too, Backup, apples solution is o.k. for backing up your home folder and for backing up your "iApps". (itunes, iMovier and such), but is not a comprehensive solution.
You can use Disk Utility for some backups. A lot of folks use programs that will clone their hard drive to another, Programs such as Super Duper and Carbon Copy Cloner are designed to do just that.
If you plan on copying to a USB drive a couple of things to remember. First it is going to be a bit slower than using a Firewire drive. Second, you cannot boot from a USB drive.
Some of the automation could be accomplished using Automator, the built in tool provided by Apple with 10.4. I have never used it but have read some articles about it and it could handle the automation task for you, I think. You might check and see if there is a ready made script available from Apple.
Hope it all gets worked out,I applaud your desire to have a backup system. The most important thing about any backup system is ti use it!

Hi,
For automatic PO creation check the following steps.
1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.
4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.
5) Create a Purchase Requisition.
6) Use T.Code: ME59N & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
Note:
1.Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
2.If you have more than one vendor then fixes only one vendor in source list.
3.During PR creation select the check box of Source Determination

Automatic Generation of classes with required attribute names

Hi ,
I am new to XML technologies ...I am having a problem in deciding whether I

The problem is the attributes I am to use are named differently as that found in

uses the same default names as that of the XML file ..is there a way of forcing

Image Variants

I have a Image Variant record created in Image Variants Table in Console.
The name of the Variant is "Image Variant for Publication 1".
I attached this variant to a Lookup Image field in the main table.
The name of the field in the main table is Product Image.
I generated the image variants in the Image Manager. I have assigned the images to the products in the main table.
Now I created another Image Variant called "Variant 2".
I am trying to assign this variant also to the same lookup Image field in the main table.
The System is letting me pick either "Image Variant for Publication 1" or "Variant 2".
I want to assign both. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
To test this:
I created Variant 3 and Variant 4.
I am able to assign Variant 1, 2 and 3 to the same field now. The difference is these three are new variants, for which no variants have been created in Image Manager.
Any assistance in this regard is appreciated.

Assignment of Variants in the console.
If the variants are new, I am able to assign, any number of them in the console.
But if the variant is NOT new, and some image variants are created in the image manager, and the images have been assigned to products in the Data Manager, then it is not letting me
in the Console, to pick both the old and some new.
The system behaves like all multiple new ones OR the old one.
For fields in the console, for which I am attaching the multiple new ones, it works fine.

Why does ibooks author automatically resize all images of a gallery?

The point here is, I have more than one graphic files (not pictures taken by a camera) to put into one gallery widget of an iBooks Author document. Unfortunately, not all figures have the same height/width aspect ratio. If I put them together in the gallery, some of them have cropped widths others have cropped heights. Impossible to losslessly fit all into the same gallery. If I scale alle figures to the same width, the result is acceptable for the figure with the highest heigth, all other figures are cropped again.
Well in a first time, I was not that much concerned, but the iBooks Author Quality check refused to publish such eBooks, where some picutes appear cropped in the small view (not in the full-screen view).
Now, why is the iBA software automatically sizing all images of a gallery w.r.t. the center of an image? It would be of much more help, to leave some white background boarders on images of un-equal height, as long as the width of all images is exactly the same. The crop-pan function would then be useful to individually place a smaller-than-the-rest image in that frame of its larger precedecor image.
Can this autosize function be turned off? Am I really forced to paste smaller images into a white image of the maximum height/width of the galery's largest image?

If you have differently shaped (height/width) images that you want to place in one gallery....
The first image you place will determine the shape (max height and width) of your gallery mask, so choose it wisely.
Before you add each image to the gallery go to photoshop and:
1. Size the IMAGE to be at the max height OR width of your gallery mask -- do this if you want at least one dimension (height or width) to fit all the way across or up and down in the gallery mask.
2. Size the CANVAS to the same height and width of your first image (the size of your gallery mask).
I hope this makes sense and is helpful. Yes, it's ridiculous, but it's the only way I found to make images of different dimensions fit in a gallery.

Hi Experts,
Does SRM / ROS or PPS addon support automatic generation of digital certificate for suppliers when they get registered in SRM? if not, is there any Badi or standard enhancement spot for the same?
Otherwise, how the digital certificates are communicated to suppliers to open the digitally signed documents from buyer side?
Thanks in advance,

To stop automatic generation of excise invoice for

Dear Experts,
I am creating Profroma Invoice just after Sales Order in export cycle. While saving the proforma invoice, system automatically generates excise invoice.
Will you please guide me how to stop the Proforma Invoice from automatic generation of excise invoice?
With regards,
Jhelum Roy.

Check the excise group for the transaction.
The follow the following path in SPRO:
IMG - LG- Tax on Goods Movements-India-Basic Settings-Maintain Excise Groups
There uncheck the box EXCISE INV DURING BILLING
As, this will create Excise Invoice automatically. So, it instructs the system to automatically create an outgong excise invoice immediately you create a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice. The system creates the excise invoice in the background.
Also, If you want to make use of this function, you must also define the default plant, excise group, and series groups in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Business Transactions -> Outgoing Excise Invoices -> Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups.
If that is uncheck already, create & post inv single step indicator
As, this is automatic posting for J1IS and it instructs the system to automatically verify and post excise invoices that you create using the Excise Invoices for Other Movements transaction.
Thanks & Regards
JP
