Bad Bug in the BC Knowledgebase Search

There is a serious flaw when searching the BC Knowledgebase because the words "Search across all products" appears prominently in the template of every article written.
Therefore when you search for the word "Product" as in "Large Product Layout" or "Product Search" for BC help, the Knowledgebase returned pages are all false hits not relevant to the subject because the search is confused by "Search across all products" on every page of every article.
Try searching for "Product Search" or "Product Name" etc. and you can't find any help like you could on the old BC site.

We're moving docs to the new platform which will eliminate this issue.

BUG - Indexing Options keep pointing to D drive rather than the C drive - search charm won't work

So I noticed that the search in my Windows 8.1 simply won't work to find files and settings. Then I went to Indexing Options in the Control Panel and I noticed that one of the locations Indexing was trying to point to is:
D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ (Unavailable)
This is odd since this is not the location of the Start Menu (which is in the C drive, not the D drive).
So I went on to remove this location and manually add the location of the Start Menu in the C drive (i.e. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\).
To my surprise, adding the location in the C drive is actually listed as the D drive -- not the C drive. In Fact any directory I try to add to the Index located in the C drive is in fact listed as being in the D drive!
I'm at a loss here, and in fairness I reckon this is a bug.
Have anyone here ever experienced this? Is there any workaround?
EDIT: While the search does not work. It seems like the Windows Explorer search works without any issues.
Also I reckon it is worth mentioning that I change the location of my search index to the D drive. This is because my C drive is a Solid State Drive, while my D drive is a traditional Hard Drive.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
P.

Hi,
I made a test in my fresh building Windows 8.1. Create a new drive and a new folder in it. After that, add the folder into Windows Index Location. When I delete the folder, its shows up as the screenshot below:
As you can see, it's same with yours, If I choose uncheck the Index folder and reopen Windows Index Location, it would be dispare from this panel.
While for your problem, actually, move the index location is no difference to your Windows search, it just change search file location.
To identify if this is a disk drive problem, you can opt to use Diskpart command to check your drive letter if it was correct.
Open Command Prompt with admin, then type diskpart.
Afer that, type list volume, check current disk label.

Why can't I use the Yahoo! search function? I get the following message: "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I cannot search on Yahoo! but Google works fine (inasmuch as you can trust Google)
The simplest of searches yields "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on the first try. I have gone through Yahoo!'s trouble shooting process w/o results.

Yahoo search engine still doesn't work, and Google does. Other programs on my computer are:
Norton Internet Security;
Norton Utilities;
Verizon In-home agent; (I don't use it, but have a Verizon wireless router);
Windows Explorer (I reset it but still can't use Yahoo search even though Google works fine)
I am paranoid that some how the evil Google has sabotaged Yahoo search! HELP!!!

Bug in the search database of Javahelp

Hi all,
in this project I am importing from Framemaker and generating Javahelp output. The Javahelp does not work when there are non-ASCII characters in the topic filenames (such as accents or umlauts). Therefore I have to adjust the file naming in the imort settings to "<$filename_no_ext>-<n>". As a result I get topics with numbered filenames and all seems well.
BUT with this setting the Javahelp displays the totally cryptic filenames of the topics as search results. Why does Robohelp not create a search database with the topic titles as search results?
How do you handle Javahelp projects for non-english languages?

I have the same problem. I have a registered domain name which contains a "-" character. Its not possible to set it correctly because it is filtered out. A "-" is an valid part of a domain name so why it is filtered? I have tried to edit the bootpd.plist file, but its getting overidden after a few seconds.
Could anyone help? A fix is absolutely necessary, without it I have to change the search domain on all client computers.

Is this grafic bug on the iTunes search common?

With the new iTunes, I got this grafic bug in the iTunes store.
What to do to fix this?

You can set the Default Type before you send the message under SENDING options to TEXT (default is automatic)
But then all it does it will not send the message if more than 20 recipients are there it will tell you how many recipients over 20 you have entered.
Say you have a group of 26 contacts and then you enter that and then select Options -> Sending options -> Message Type
Set to TEXT
Then if you try to send it will tell you that you have to remove 6 recipients.
640K Should be enough for everybody

EasyDMS development - Bug in the ICustomSearchPageAddin?

Customer has need for special search page for the documents in the EasyDMS. I checked the Addin interface and found the ICustomSearchPageAddin and ICustomSearchPage interfaces. After some trying I got new nice new custom made tab in the search. What I did was little bit of tweaking of the property page example in the Wiki. Basically I did this:
STDMETHODIMP CSearchAddin::raw_CreatePage(
     long     pageIndex,
     long     hWnd,
     struct IEasyDmsApplication * pEasyDms,
     struct ICustomSearchPage **poData,
     VARIANT_BOOL * pPageAvailable )
     AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
     CWnd * parent = CWnd::FromHandle((HWND)hWnd); // Get the parent window from handle
     if(!pEasyDms || !pPageAvailable || !poData)
          return E_POINTER;
     if ( pageIndex == 0) {
          CDialog *pTab = new GeneralSearchTab() ;
          pTab->Create(GeneralSearchTab::IDD,parent);
          CComObject<CGeneralSearch> *page = new CComObject<CGeneralSearch>;
          page->setWnd(pTab);
          page->AddRef();
          *pPageAvailable = VARIANT_TRUE;
          *poData = page;
and so on.
In the CGeneralSearch I implemented:
STDMETHODIMP CGeneralSearch::get_hWnd ( long * pHwnd ){
     AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
     if(!pHwnd)
          return E_POINTER;
     *pHwnd = (long)m_page->GetSafeHwnd();
     return S_OK;
With one tab, this seems to work ok, but if I add more tabs (return more than 1 from the get_Pages method) the first custom tab will always crash when receiving any message (example WM_MOUSEMOVE). Crash happens in the explorer.exe process WalkPreTranslateTree method when calling the PreTranslateMessage.
BOOL PASCAL CWnd::WalkPreTranslateTree(HWND hWndStop, MSG* pMsg)
     ASSERT(hWndStop == NULL || ::IsWindow(hWndStop));
     ASSERT(pMsg != NULL);
     // walk from the target window up to the hWndStop window checking
     // if any window wants to translate this message
     for (HWND hWnd = pMsg->hwnd; hWnd != NULL; hWnd = ::GetParent(hWnd))
          CWnd* pWnd = CWnd::FromHandlePermanent(hWnd);
          if (pWnd != NULL)
               // target window is a C++ window
               if (pWnd->PreTranslateMessage(pMsg)) <----------CRASH HERE
                    return TRUE; // trapped by target window (eg: accelerators)
          // got to hWndStop window without interest
          if (hWnd == hWndStop)
               break;
     return FALSE;       // no special processing
I did some debugging, and the handle hWnd is the correct handle of the CDialog I created for the tab. This only happens with the first created tab when there is more than one custom tab. If I don't return any hwnd in the get method for the dialog, I get one empty tab but the others work well. This definately seems to be some sort of bug in the interface when initializing the tabs.
Have anyone got this working? I tried with 6.0 and 7.0 and both fail same way.
Oh, and I think the search interface I badly designed. It is always calling the normal search first. It would be lot wiser to be able to disable the original search if using custom. Other option would be to provide the search result list in some interface so it could be filled with any own dialog.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
I first tried this using two different tabs. I implemented GeneralSearch and AdvancedSearch classes implementing the ICustomSearchPage interface. I also created two different dialogs GeneralSearchTab and AdvancedSearchTab and referred them without upcasting (later on I used CDialog to test things). Both tabs showed ok but putting cursor over first one would crash the application immediately. I debugged and it is the windows messages that crashes it. I think the parent window (tab control?) is doing something wrong with the first tab. It seems that I can create as many tabs I want to and even use same class over again and it is only the first one that fails.
Well, I did lot of testing because there wasn't examples of this and no proper documentation of the API, so I might have had CDialog * upcasting there but I'm pretty sure that I first tried without upcasting.
Fortunately we found out that the other tab is not yet needed, so I can continue with the project. As I said, if I only create one tab, that works perfectly and we have already modified abap code for the extra fields we need.
I will try to test this again starting from scratch this weekend.

I think there is a very annoying bug after the latest update of firefox, can I talk to someone, or chat with someone so I can get rid of it

Since the latest auto update of my firefox browser I am experiencing strange issues. Every evening when I stop working, I close my browser (closing all the tabs that I am working on and in the morning, I restore the session) . For many years everything worked just fine ... untill after the last auto update of the firefox browser .. all of a sudden a got 302 errors ( a blank page with the description 302 and I believe "page moved here" or something to that extend ... i try to click the link and get nowhere.
I first noticed it on a few wordpress pages (backend ) that I was working on and which were restored from the previous day ...
thinking it was a server error, since we have several vps and dedicated servers .. i contacted the company who hosts our servers ..
they looked into it and apparently .. there were no issues on the server side and neither on that particular computer ... but our server hosts told us .. that it is probably browser related and seemed to have something to with a bug with the cache of the browser
we didn't know what to do .. it was very annoying .. but at that point it only happened once on a hew pages .. so we decided to see what happened the next time
Next time we did not restore a session with wordpress pages .. but with the google search engine open and on a few other tabs logged into social media .... and as was saidn by our server hosts it was indeed not related to work that we did on pages on our servers ... since that time even the google search engine homepage ... showed us ... moved here
Can you pease look into it and fix this .. we are doing the same thing as many years on the same computer also a few years .. so it is not anything we do wrong either .. it is most definitely browser related
so can you please fix it asap .. since when we work on wordpress .. that is not the only thing that goes wrong .. we also have difficulty uploading updates ... when updating sometimes after the update of any particular change on a wordpress page is done ... we are also redirected to a blank page .. so the updated page does not want to load ... in that case we have use our back button ...
which sends us back to the right page ... but with the old data on it ... then we have to refresh that page .. and only then we see the page updated ... so it seems that there is an issue in both direction with the caching of the browser after the last update
Kind regards,
Robert

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Bug in the copy cluster roles wizard - CSV reparse points cannot have names with spaces

Hi All,
I have identified a bug in the copy cluster roles wizard in 2012 R2, which is preventing me from migrating my clusters from 2008 R2 & 2012 to 2012 R2.
The bug surfaces when you attempt to copy a VM role from a 2008 R2 or 2012 cluster that has a CSV reparse point name that contains spaces as follows:
The role appears to copy across fine, but once you've migrated the CSV and brought it online followed by starting the VM, the VM configuration resource promptly fails along with the VM.
The issue can be spotted inside the copy cluster roles wizard, where it presents itself by removing all text after the first space in the name to read "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV" rather than "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV
Test Disk 3" as follows:
The bug only appears for VMs on CSVs with a reparse point name containing spaces - all other scenarios succeed.
After searching through the registry on the new cluster, you can clearly see that the VM role hasn't been correctly copied.
It shows a value called SharedVolumeMappings with the data C:\ClusterStorage\CSV|<guid>|<integer>
Whereas it should show the data C:\ClusterStorage\CSV Test Disk 3|<guid>|<integer>
If you modify the data in the SharedVolumeMappings value in both
0.Cluster\Resources\<VM guid> and Cluster\Resources\<VM guid> keys, the VM will start and work correctly.
The problem for me is that I have many VMs on many different CSVs all with spaces in the names of the reparse point! Its not feasible for me to go through the registry for every copied VM on every node of the new cluster, as this would take a very long time
and would be prone to errors that could cause further problems.
Can anyone provide any help on this? A hotfix for the issue would be great, if anyone from Microsoft is reading :-)
My deadline to get the VMs migrated to the new cluster is the 21st February, so I would really like to have a solution to the problem before then if at all possible.
Many thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi Subhasish,
Thanks for the reply, glad that its something that is reproducible!
Do you have any idea of timescale? Or is it likely that I will have to modify the registry as above to get this working?
If I am going to have to modify the registry, please can you let me know if the resolution I have tested above is safe and viable? Or are there other settings that I will need to change to make the cluster fully aware of the proper path to the CSVs for its
VMs?
Also, is there a known procedure for renaming the reparse point whilst VMs are running on it? This would allow me to negate the issue before copying the roles to the new cluster :-)
Thanks again,
Tom

Finder search bug? No results if 'Search' field is blank.

I can't determine if this is a bug or is simply a change in Finder search behavior (for the worse, IMO) in 10.8.
In the Finder, when I select 'File>>Find' (or hit ⌘-F) and then select the current folder from the top of the search parameters, no files appear in the search results if the 'Search' (for filename) field at the top of the window is blank even though the only other search parameter is 'Kind is Any'.
If I enter text in the 'Search' field, matching results start to appear.
In 10.7, I saw different behavior. In the absence of text in the Search field, the Finder would simply return results matching the other parameters and ignore the Search field.
With the new behavior, there doesn't seem to be any way to construct a saved search based solely on other parameters (kind, date, file label, etc) without specifying some filename parameter as well. Of course, I can work around the problem by using something like 'NOT xxx!@#$%' in the Search field, but this approach is klugy at best.
Anyone else see this? Bug? Deliberate change in Finder behavior?

Yes the report ESH_TEST_SEARCH returns no material.
So should I suspend the indexing and reschedule with with real time indexing ? I am not sure whether we choose real time indexing in the first time.
What about the authorizations, I see USER_AUTHORITY object is activealready.
Thanks

User Exit / BAdI to update the pricing conditions of the Purchase Order

Hello SAPients,
This is my requirement:
"Copy the Pricing Conditions from the Shipment Cost Document (VI01 / VI02) to the automatically generated Purchase Order".
I'm using the enhancement V54U0002 (Function Module EXIT_SAPLV54U_002) to EXPORT the values of the Pricing Conditions to memory and I have used the enhancement MM06E005 ( FM EXIT_SAPMM06E_006, 007, 012, 013, 014, 016, and 017) to IMPORT the values from memory and store them in TKOMV. But, when the PO is generated the values don't stay, they are always changed with the standard PBXX pricing conditions.
My question is: Does anyone know the User Exit / BAdI that I can use to change the Pricing Conditions of the Purchase Order?
<<removed_by_moderator>>
Thanks!

App Stores' bugs on the iPhone 2.0

Hello,
I have a first generation iPhone and I found a couple of bugs with the App Stores:
1) Going to "Featured" and then to "Categories" in the top right makes my iPhone go back to the main menu. Seems like the App Store application crashes.
2) Leaving reviews for applications using iTunes works fine but when I use the iPhone none appear on the review list, even after waiting a couple of days. Something is definitely not working here.
3) When in the "Top 25" tab, the number of reviews listed for each application is outdated. I need to load the reviews of a single application to get the number of reviews on the "Top 25" list to update for this application.
I also wonder why some applications are not available where I live. I do not have access to Loopt, eBay or Pandora from Europe. I understand for Loopt as it is an application based on the location, that works for the US, but Pandora is a internet radio so it should be available everywhere. As for eBay, I am pretty sure it is only a matter of changing a few lines of code so that the application shows the listing of my country.
Don't you think it would be nice to have a single topic with all the bugs related to the iPhone 2.0 software update? What do you think?

First gen phone running 2.0
1) When an app kicks you back to the home screen, yes, that's a crash. But I haven't seen the App Store crash on me at all. There is no Categories button in the top right of Featured, but switching between the top buttons doesn't cause me any problems.
2) I haven't tried leaving reviews via iPhone, so don't know.
3) Yes, I'm noticing a difference in review number. The Top 25 list shows N, the app page shows N, and then when you actually load the reviews, the heading at the top shows N-plus-something. I'm only seeing this with some apps, though, and the ones that do show it are off by a fairly small number (1148 vs. 1157, 254 vs. 258, 8 vs. 19)
A single topic for all bugs is a bad idea---it would quickly get too unwieldy and confusing. Much better to have small direct questions with specific subject lines.

User exit/BADi to change the header text in MIRO transaction

Hi all,
I am searching user exit or badi to change the header text in MIRO transaction.
My requirement is, before post the invoice I need to populate the vendor name in Header text field(MIRO -> Details tab -> header text field ). I have tried all the user exits and BADi's related to MIRO. Doesn't work. If anybody knows please share.
Thanks,
Pranav

Try BADI INVOICE_UPDATE.
If you are in system version is ECC 6.0, you can find out a Enhancement SPOT (ES_SAPLMRMC) under Function module MRM_FINAL_CHECK, which can be used to perform this requirement
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hello santosh,
I am not sure whether a suitable exit / BADI exists to update the header text in MIRO directly.
there is one related forum:

Hope, it may helpful for you to proceed with some other parallel solution.

Word 2011 for Mac Book pro - I have found that my cursor disappears sometimes when I click on a toolbar function. I found out it is a bug, that the Mac loses 'focus'. I can correct it temporarily by clicking on Format - Font - Cancel. Any info?

I have Word 2011 on a Mac Book Pro and have had problems with a dissapearing cursor - it makes editing tricky
After googling it I found out that there is a bug where the Mac loses focus if you click away from the document - it also does this with italics according to other users.
I had a play with it and found out that when I click on the toolbar in a document where this happens, the cursor disappears, e.g. changing font colour etc. And then, when I click on Format - Font - Cancel it returns
I'd be interested if anyone else has a comment to add, please do
thanks

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Security create-keychain does not add the keychain to search list

Hello guys,
It seems that since OS X Mavericks the security create-keychain does not add the keychain in the search list. I tried calling the SecKeychainCreate directly to verify that this is not a bug in the SecurityTool (the result is the same). Could you please help me verify if this is expected behavior or more like a bug that was not reported?
Is there other way to create a keychain and add it to the search list except modifying the whole search list (for ex. using the security list-keychain)? I would like to concurrently create more than one keychain and modifying the whole search list does not seem like a good practice, becuase it introduces a race condition.
P.S. I tested this in Yosemite and the behavior is the same.

Ilian Iliev
