Basic Start-up Questions:Modem, Libraries, TV Sets

I haven't set up Apple TV yet because I have some basic questions that may involve permanent decisions about where we install it. My questions are so basic they don't seem to be addressed in the set-up instructions or the forums:
One~Does the Apple TV box replace my current Qwest modem~ in other words, is it like an Airport Extreme base station that will also handle our wireless signals to all our laptops and wireless printing? Do we still need our Qwest modem?
Two~can Apple TV be associated with other laptops and their associated iTunes libraries? For example, when my son wants to watch something and plugs in his laptop, can he buy something and watch it with his account, and then another time I can do the same with my account? Or is it only one Apple TV unit to one account and/or laptop?
And last, can Apple TV be moved to different TVs in the same house (bedroom, living room, etc.) Is the streaming content only streamed to one TV without interfering with with people watching satellite content on other TVs? Or should each TV have its own Apple TV unit?
Thanks~!

no.
TV is no wireless router but a wireless (or wired) client
Do we still need our Qwest modem?
yes.

correct authorization of iTunes on all machines (up to 5) provided, yes to all
And last, can Apple TV be moved to different TVs in the same house (bedroom, living room, etc.)
yes.

yes.
you stream content wirelessly or wired to TV via your home network.

What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2 modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+ modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

Scheduled Maintenance basic start and finish date

Hi Expert,
I'm using WO type say PM04 for schedule maintenance. In its maintenance plan i'm using prioity "medium" that starts form 7 - 14 days.I also have already set the scheduling type in OPU7 - adjust scheduling into "Do not adjust basic dates, dep. reqmts to order start"
after run deadline monitoring WO PM04 that generated is resulted as per below:
basic start date: 13.08.2010
basic finish date: 13.08.2010
the basic dates does not reflect the priority "medium"
pls help how can i configure the basic dates setting that align to its priority.
Thanks

Production order Basic start date calculation

Hello PP Sapperu2019s,
I have an production order for total qty - 865,00.This production order created on 11.08.2011 and I could able to see the Basic start date as 26.06.2011.Please let me know how this basic start date gets calculated. I mean what are all the parameters included for calculating this basic start date.
My Observation:
I have checked in OPU3 for the respective plant and order type the scheduling type mentioned as Backward.
SMK u2013 903 (ie, opening period for planned order u2013 3 days)
In Routing we have two operations.
Requesting from forum people to give me the detailed calculation part on how this basic start date gets calculated / arrived.
Please let me know if you need any more inputs.
Cheers,
Kumar.S

Hi Kumar,
As per my understanding this is all decided/maintained through scheduling parameters which are defined in Customizing per order type, plant and production scheduler (from the material master) (Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations > Scheduling > Define Scheduling Parameters). In what follows the parameters are described that affect the scheduling of a production order. Further control parameters are described in the course of this section.
According to your query I suggests ,In Customizing you can specify that an order is rescheduled as soon as it is a certain number of days late (Start in the past indicator). The system then automatically carries out today scheduling when the basic start date of the order is more than the given number of days in the past. This scheduling is a type of forward scheduling starting from todayu2019s date and where the necessary reduction measures are applied .
Else you can also specify that a production order is to be rescheduled automatically whenever it is saved (indicator Automatic scheduling). If changes relevant to scheduling are made in the order and this indicator is not set then the order is given the status NTER (dates not current).
Hope this would be useful for you at some extent.
Please revert if required .
Regards
Chandra

Basic start date & Basic finish date based on Priority

Dear Experts,
When I am creating Notification & selecting Priority, System gives pop-up “do you want to specify new dates?” If I select yes system automatically change required start & required end based on Priority.
Now my question is do we have same functionality for Maintenance order as priority field is available there (If we are directly creating a MO)?
Even if we are creating WO from notification, required start & end dates copies to Basic start & Basic finish but if we change priority then no change in basic start & finish dates. Why?

Greetings Parag,
You may select the Priority in the initial screen of IW31 and the dates will shift accordingly, if you maintained the Relative Start &/or Relative End in
SPRO > Plant Maintenance > Maintenance Processing > Maintenance & Service Orders > General Data > Define Priorities > Define Priorities for Each Priority Type
If you want to change date based on Priority on the Order header screen, it's not possible in the standard to my knowledge, but you may easily develop an enhancement utilizing the user exit

Basic start & Basic finish date in PM Order

Hi,
This is related to Preventive Maint. Order Basic start date & Basic finish date.
I have configured 2 priorities.
Priority 1 with Relative Start 1 & Rel. end 10 Days
Priority 2 with Relative Start 1 & Rel. end 30 Days
PM Plan is created with strategy
Weekly & Bi-weekly
Priority 1 is set in PM plan
Scheduling Period 60 days
Call horizon 100%
Scheduling has beed done with start date as 02.09.2014.
Plan dates are as below.
09.09.2014
16.09.2014
23.09.2014
etc
PM Orders have been called through IP30.
When I checked the Maint. Orders, I found that the Basic start date & Basic finish dates are same as below in all the Orders generated through IP30.
Basic start date: 09.09.2014 & Basic Finish date: 09.09.2014.
Actually it should calculate Basic Finish date as Basic start date + 10 days (as per my priority).
Can I know reason why system does not consider the priority duration in this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
CSR

Greetings Raman,
To shift the basic dates for the Orders generated by a Strategy Maintenance Plan, you may use the Float (Initial and Subsequent) values defined on the Strategy level in the Maintenance Strategy itself (IP11)
Normally, the Date Shifts maintained in the Priority do not come into play when you are scheduling Maintenance Plans.
So the rundown is that you can shift the basic dates in Preventive Work Orders, differentiating on the Maintenance Package, rather than Priority.
If you require the Basic Dates to be adjusted for generated Orders, you can develop a solution using EXIT_SAPLCOIH_012
See some more useful info:

Basic end date does not influence priority from maintenance plan

Basic start date and finish date changing in the past

Hello Gurus,
I set the scheduling parameters as " Do not adjust basic dates, dep rqmts to order start " and also assigned the priority to populate the basic finish date. System does calculate the finish date based on the priority and start date as current date but it does allow me to change both dates in past or future which should not happen.
Please do note that I activated the defaulted date as current date as well. Even I removed this mark and did not work.
Please let me know if there is any way to restrcit the changing it alteast in the past.
Mahee

This can be prevented using one the following ways depending upon your needs
---> Set the "start in past" field to appropriate value using transaction OPU7 for order type /Plant combination
---> Make the "Basic start date and Basic end date" fields as "Display only" through the Field selection config for the order type.
---> Use the user exit on "SAVE" of the order to check for the same

Making the Basic Start Date in PM order Mandatory

Team,
we created a new PM order type per user requirements. One problem we have is to make the Basic start date field mandatory.Can any one propose how we can make make the basic start date mandatory ?

Dear,
Its always better to have forward schedule, and to do so, follow the path
SPRO-->IMG-->PLANT MAINTENNACE &CUSTOMER SERVICE-->MAINTENNACE &SERVICE PROCESSING-->MAINTENANCE & SERVICE ORDERS-->SCHEDULING-->SET SCHEDULING PARAEMETERS.
Here you can set the parameters as per your client requirement.

WO basic start date - requirement date

Good morning folks,
Would anyone be able to shed some light on any config that would be suitable for the following:
The materials are assigned to a task list that is then assigned to a plan. That plan is then scheduled and the work orders are generated.
When the materials are added to the work order their requirement date is automatically assigned as the work order basic start date - can this requirement date be pulled from the scheduled dates instead?
The problem is that the material may not be required at the beginning of the WO, so the defaulted basic start date of the WO would not be the way forward.
Thanks
Mantas

hi Mantas
you can set in scheduling parameters with following possibilities
<b>Path Plant maintenance and customer service->Maintenance and service order->scheduling->set scheduling parameter</b>
1)The basic dates are adjusted and the dependent requirements are scheduled for the start dates of the relevant operations.
2)The basic dates are not adjusted and the dependent requirements are scheduled for the start dates of the relevant operations.
3)The basic dates are adjusted and the dependent requirements are scheduled for the order basic start date.
4)The basic dates are not adjusted and the dependent requirements are scheduled for the order basic start date.
so when you add the components you have to assign the operations,after selecting the operation you can change the operation date, after you change the operation dates,the material scheduled dates will be changed to the operation date
(using the option <b>1</b>)

Basic start and finish dates vs scheduled start and finish dates in work order

Hi Friends,
I have observed that whenever releasing the work order,irresepective of number of operations in the work order, system generating scheduling start and finish dates are same, however after releasing the Work order and by adding another operation in the work order, immediately scheduling end date equaling to Basic finish date (i.e.: Basic start and finish dates are equal to Schedule start and finish dates).
Can any body please explain why this is heppening
Please find the screen shots.
After adding one more operation in the operation list and save the Work order,then Basic start and finish dates are equal to schedule start and finish dates.
Regards,
Srinika

Srinika
There are many things that affect the order scheduling:
IMG setting - scheduling parameters
Work centre settings
Operation values e.g. work, duration, operation control key settings
Calendars
Etc
So one possible interpretation of the above data is that the initial order operations have no work assigned, or the operation control keys don't require scheduling, or the work centres arn't set up correctly.
Then you add a new operation which does appear to work.
Please supply a screen-shot of the operation tab.

Firefox will not open or won't start (see /questions/964132 )

was Ok till recently

Please include more information, such as your Operating System (Windows?) and version, plus exactly what happens when you try to start Firefox. The information that's listed in a recent Firefox crash report, if available, might also help. See [[Firefox crashes]] under '''Get help fixing this crash''' and post any crash Report IDs recently submitted (they'll start with '''bp-''' )
Your question title says "Firefox will not open or won't start (see /questions/964132 )" I looked at that question and it was started by another Firefox user. [/questions/964132?page=2#answer-477049] has a number of suggestions if Firefox won't start. Which ones did you try?
For other possible solutions see
* [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
*[/questions/958850] ''Firefox won't open after restart''
Note: A "clean reinstall" was one of the suggestions in [/questions/964132]. It means removing the Firefox application files and then reinstalling Firefox from a fresh download, as explained in the "Reinstall Firefox" step in [[Basic Troubleshooting]]. If that allows you to start Firefox, but if the problem returns after restarting the computer, you should do another "clean reinstall" and then troubleshoot your plugins by disabling all of them, as suggested in the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article.

Basic PDF/SSL Question

Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server. I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton. Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

hi all,Hi Neerav
I have very basic clone database question
If i create database A and clone database B using A...
I want to know that any operation done on A will be automatically done on Cloned database B.Oops....Now you're asking about rocket science. Sorry, I don't know.
I know about some basics:
Streams or Replication--> Which can give you data on B in read-write mode.

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Hey Adobe, stop asking whether I want you to install updates automatically. I DON'T. Some programs I run crash if you jump in there and start asking questions.

You can set your preferences to not prompt you for updates, either having them done without asking, or relying on yourself to manage them
