Behaviour of VI Refnums changed from LV 8.2 to 8.5

Hello,
Obviously something has changed (and as I think
resulting in a bug) with the handling of refnums when updating LV form 8.2 to 8.5:
As I found out using probes, my calling vi starting an
instance of a template vi with “FP.Open” is reporting a certain refnum (e.g.
0xE1800013), the called vi itself reports another one about itself (e.g. 0xE1900011), and none of them is recognized by
the property node FP.IsFrontmost. I used this feature successfully in LV 8.2 to
detect which of my image stack players is topmost (because one has clicked on
it), so it was possible to change its conversion policy from the main program.
I’m afraid that this feature is not used very often in
that way so nobody reported a similar problem in your forum. There should be some way to do this job, as
in commercially available image managing programs like Photoshop.
Can you understand my problem? I have already uploaded
an exe file build with LV
8.2 on ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming using the
SRQ 629758 (because an upload via my WEB browser was refused by your
server) which shows how it was working before, together with a reduced version
of the „source code“.
After
starting the program Easytrack:
1. Resolution > OK
2.    Stack > Load > Test.stk
> OK
3.    Stack > Display
4.    a Player (Nr.0) appears
      Repeat Step 3.
several times.
You will be able to change the brightness in each
player after having clicked on it using the „Display“ panel at the main
program.
I hope that you can help me, we need it very urgently.
Many thanks in advance.
Detlef Hof

Hello
Jochen,
I’m already
in contact with the German engineer Alexander Diepold who tries to get my
application running. If there are findings that will be interesting to the LV community I would like
to report about it. Thanks for your interest.
Regards
Detlef

Status change from 'Completed' to 'In Process' not allowed

When configuring Appraisals in R/3 we want to change the Status of 'Completed' when pressing the 'Reject' button so that it moves to the Target Status of 'In Process'
However, we are getting an error message:
Status change from 'Completed' to 'In Process' not allowed
The SAP help states the following:
In Process (only if final appraisal or part appraisal is defined)
This has been defined at Template Level.
So I don't understand why we are getting the message.
Does any one else know of a way to configure the Appraisal template so that after it has been 'Rejected' it moves back into 'In Process'
Thanks

Hello Andreas,
Ah, sorry, there was so much talk about user decisions that I assumed you were using a standard decision task.
Still, I would be extra careful of changing the way workflow usually works because you have an unknown target audience that are based on the standard.
The standard SAP philosophy is quite simple: cancel/F3 or do nothing and it stays reserved. If you do not want it reserved, you need to perform an action. This is based on a majority of processes: in most cases when you execute a work item you will also be the one who is going to completed it. Replacing it is the lesser used of the two alternatives, therefore it is the only one that requires an action on the part of the user.
Again, this is intended as constructive input. Strange quirks and unusual behaviour tend to add a black mark to software if they do not make things easier to use. In many environments users are not even aware of the reserve/replace business, so there you would be adding an additional layer of complexity.
Personally I would find an exit popup annoying as a regular workflow user - regular decisions can be approved with one click, or I can back out with a single click if I need to make a phone call or look up some info before approving - but with this new-fangled thing I've got an extra button to click and an extra thing to think about. This is especially the case in a payment approval scenario where you may have users in some departments who may approve hundreds of payments each week.
My suggestion would be to leave it like that. By all means put an option into the user decision to put it back or to 'un-reserve' it (and loop round if the user chooses it). That way you are adding value and not clicks.
Cheers,
Mike

A tunneled Excel refnum goes from a valid value to a NULL between iterations of a For Loop?

How would a tunneled Excel refnum go from a valid value to a NULL between iterations of a For Loop?
For
some reason this works find in one VI and when executed and not in
another. Here's screen shots of the highlighted execution with probes
appropriately. The "Open" refnum is passed into "Performance Test -
Write Data To Files.vi". That's where the trouble is. You can see
that it goes into the For Loop. The first iteration is okay, but the
second and subsequent iterations have the refnum NULL. See images
below.
(I don't know how to delete an accidental double post, sorry)

Is there any chance that the Insert Data Into Excel VI is closing the reference or that it is closed anywhere else (e.g. through a local or by having its owner destroyed)?
I wouldn't expect the numeric value of the reference to change to 0, but since ActiveX is an external resource, I suppose that it's possible that the probe shows the number only if the resource is actually accessible.

Error "Status change from READY to COMMITTED is not allowed"

Dear experts,
once again SAPs workflow environment drives me crazy with mysterious error messages.
Some time ago I posted a question here concerning the problem that I cannot put back a workitem by using function module SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM due to a lock on this workitem which has been set right after it has been double clicked in the business workplace workflow inbox:
[How can I put back a workitem before I'm back in the business workplace?;
Since I do not want to dequeue the lock for the workitem in my application (where the user finds the appropriate detail information along with the function buttons for approval, rejection and F3/BACK) I tried it with calling a POPUP_TO_CONFIRM ("Do you want to put back the workitem?") directly from within the BO-method, right after returning from the FM that called my application. From here (the popup then shows in front of the business workplace instead of the application) the locking doesn't seem to be a problem any more! But whatever I do after the users decision to put the WI back - calling the FM SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM or trying to leave the method with macro EXIT_CANCELLED - leads to the error message "Status change from READY to COMMITTED is not allowed" and the workitem changes to status ERROR, too. This message seems to be bull***t, since the status of the item is supposed to go back to READY.
Does anybody have experience to help me on that ?
Thanks in advance
regards
Andreas

Issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of

Dear Experts,
I have an issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of the Month.
One employee was retired on 29th of March, so his payroll area was changed from biweekly to monthly on 29th. For retire we are running the payroll on 8th of every month. When we are running payroll for April he has received only 29th and 30th retire salary, by the time he is not yet retired also.
In this case the main problem is monthly payroll time is early then biweekly. so the employee is getting retire salary then his regular pay.
Can you guide me where we can control that monthly payroll area should not be triggered at this movement.
Thanks
Chandra

You can do that but it is not that easy as it sounds if you have to do that over a period of say 10-20 years...lot of operational work!!
Also say if you load the retiree action one month ahead say on 03/01/2011. And the employee is retiring on 03/29.
Retire payroll is on 04/08
Biweekly is on 04/15
Now you decide to lock the employees after the 1st biweekly check of March...say which was process 14 days before 04/15 would be 04/01. The employee number is locked between 04/01 to 04/15. For 14 days you have locked these employees!!
What happens if there is adjustment pay...you have to manually go and unlock the employee and lock him after the adjustment check.
I will let you decide based on the comfort, SAP effort, Operational effort and system maintenance.

I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

'CHANGE' event not triggering for BTE 2214 on park/change from FBV1/FBV2

I have designed a workflow template for FI parking. If the parked document is rejected, i need to trigger FIPP 'CHANGE' event for sending workitem to approver when someone changes the parked document. In SWEL event trace, the 'CHANGE' event is not getting raised.
So i implemented a BTE 000002214 and now i am able to raise 'CHANGE' event and capture it in workflow. But this is only working when i park a document using FV50 transaction and later change it.
But when i park a document using FBV1 and then make changes from FBV2, the 'CHANGE' event is not being triggered in SWEL. Should i implement some other BTE like 2218 etc? Can you please help?

Hi Gokul,
You can try handling the SAVE event instead of the CHANGED event.
T-code FBV2 will not allow you to save the document unless you make some changes.
Try implementing BTE 2218 and revert.
Thanks,
Sreekanth

I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

i changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

Downloads changing from "Downloading" to "waiting to download". Why?

Tonight while downloading a HD movie I was watching a couple episodes of a TV show I have on my ATV. Between episodes I would check my download progress and find that the status had changed from "Downloading" to "waiting to download". Can't you watch videos and download something else at the same time?
I did update a photo library and perform a sync during one of the shows I watched. Does that indefinitely pause a download. The sync took less than one minute.
I'm glad there are a few people here that know everything about the ATV. Very helpful. Thanks, KMA

Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?

Status keeps changing from invisible to online: why the issue is ignored?

There is a serious issue raised in the parallel thread, which is critical for many people: "Status keeps changing from invisible to online" (initiated on ‎16-11-2014 by b.agne, Mac section). In short, when starting using a device, the Skype status changing from "invisible" to "online" - sometimes just for a moment, though enough for others to notice you. These affects very much any type of devices. I am sure the issue has already led to multiple personal crisises and potentially financial losses due to buseness partnership issues (I came close to that myself, and now use anything but Skype for business). The question is: WHY the issue is completely ignored by Skype, Microsoft and expert comunity? Please post the solution if anybody knows how to fix the issue, or suggest how to make Microsoft to know that it should be fixed. Kind regard...

Hi, I also have the same issue. I change the status to Invisible and a later on it is already as "Online", without having even touched/opened Skype. The only way that I see this may happen is that I have the app installed on the smartphone, but before it never had this issue, but from some month ago it started. Any correction or suggestion to work around this issue? Regards

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Silly question, maybe. I want to change from Verizon DSL to cable, but cable company doesn't supply router. can I use my Airport Extreme as wireless router?

We currently have the following wireless home-network configuration, powered by Verizon DSL.
2 macbook pro’s
1 emachine
HP PhotoSmart 6122 all-in-one printer
Apple TV
Apple Airport Extreme Base Port A 1408
Westell 7500 router
Thinking I’d get wider wireless coverage throughout my 2 bedroom home, I purchased the Airport Extreme. It is connected to the router via its sole usb port. The result was only a tiny increase in speed, and no increase in coverage, so I don’t know why I have it.
We now want to change from DSL to cable, thus ditching Verizon. Our new cable provider supplies the cable box, but no router for wireless networking.
Here are my questions.
Can I use the Airport Extreme (AE) as a wireless router?
If so, how should I hook it up? Should the usb cable go from the AE to the cable box, and all the other devices connect wirelessly?
If not, how should I be using the AE to some advantage? What can I get out of the investment?
Thank you very much for your help! Beatriz

What I wrote has nothing to do with what the cable company charges for their installation. And, usually they will help with the router setup even if you supply your own router. I don't know what they will charge for the modem.
Note that you need to get just a modem. You don't want a modem/router combination. That will make using an AEBS effectively nearly impossible. You will need to ask specifically for just a standalone modem, and that you will supply your own router.
