Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
The TOC would contain the product Categories.
So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6.
From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed. If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items.
Any suggestions?

TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

Multiple indesign files for product brochure one data merge file

I have multiple indesign files for product brochure and there are price changes for various products.
attached is a screen shot of the folder where all the indesign files are located as you can see each one has been laid out as a spread.
Rather than opening each individual indesign file to amend prices can i quickly? or is there a way of compliling all documents into one file and quickly updating the price with the data merge file.
thanks in advance.

Absolutely not.
(1)     PDF/VT-1 files must also be PDF/X-4 files. The “create PDF via distillation of PostScript” method precludes this since PostScript supports neither live transparency nor color management.
(2)     The efficiencies of PDF/VT-1 require use of Forms XOjects and Image XObjects in the PDF file. That requires direct PDF creation that you get from PDF export. This is not available via any route that uses stink'in PostScript as an intermediary.
(3)     Adobe most strongly endorses PDF creation from InDesign via the export function, not printing to PostScript and distilling. Such PostScript is optimized strictly for printing and not for PDF file creation.

What's the best way to create zoomable map for iOS by using Flash?

We got a big location map that allows user to zoom in and out and do the panning but the image of the map is not very smooth when you pan it in iOS (Android is ok) so is there a way to fix this problem?
thanks!

Which one you use might depend on the nature of the picture, like, a picture with lots of flat colored areas will come out a lot smaller as a lossless PNG than as a 100% JPEG. It would be interesting to try an 8 bit or 16 bit PNG, see if that makes it use less GPU memory. JPEG is usually 24 bit, and it or a 24 bit PNG should take the same amount of GPU memory.
There is a chance that AIR is using 32 bit throughout on iOS, so it won't matter what the original image was if that's the case, just the width and height would determine the amount used.
The smoothing setting is more about whether you're going to scale the image, which I guess you would be if you want the image to be scaled down. If you could have a smaller version that the user then touches to go immediately to the larger version, both could be set to have no smoothing, which may improve performance.

What is the best approach to capture TBOM's for a SAP SRM system/functionality?

Hello SCN Community,
It would be much appreciated if somebody could share some information about the following....
What is the best approach to create TBOM's for a SAP SRM system? The SRM functionality is basically consisting out of multiple ABAP Web Dynpro's that are connected as a process via a SAP Portal (as is understand it). The entrypint to the SRM functionality is via the SAP Portal.
Do I first have to create a link to the Portal via an SAP Web Application link in SOLAR01 and then start recording? Will it record only the portal objects or also the ABAP Web Dynpro objects?
Do I have to list all the separate ABAP Web Dynpro's in SOLAR01 and use those as a starting point?
I am myself more familair with more classical SAP ABAP ECC systems and transactions. I could hardly find any information on the use of BPCA and the required TBOM's in the area of SRM.... Any help would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Guido Jacobs

Best Approach to create Security / Authorization Schema for an APEX Apps

Hi,
I am planning to create a Security / Authorization Schema for an APEX Application.
Just want to know what is the best approach to create the security feature in APEX, so that it should be re-used in other APEXApplications too..
I am looking for following features...
1. users LOGIN and then user's name is stored in APEX_USER...
2. Based on the user, I want to restrict the Application on following levels.
- TABS
- TABS - Page1 (Report
- Page2 (Form)
- Page2 (Region1)
- Page2 (Region1, Button1)
- Page2 (Region1, Items,....)
AND so on.....basically depending on user....he will have access to certain TABS, Pages, Regions, Buttons, Items...
I know, we have to create the Authorization Schema for this and then attach these Authorization Schema to the different Level we want.
My Question is, what should be the TABLE structure to capture these info for each user...where we will say...this USER will have following access...AND then we create Authorization Schema from this table...
Also what should be the FRONT end, we should have to enter these detail...
SO, wondering, lot of people may already have implemented this feature....so if guys can provide the BEST Approach (re-usable for other APEX Application)....that will be really nice..
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Raghu,
thanks for the detial info.
so that means..I should have 2 table...
master table (2 columns - username, password)
        username    password
   user1       xxxx
   user2       xxxx2nd table (2 columns - username, chq_disp_option)
- In this table, we don't have Y/N Flag you mentioned..
- If we have to enter all the regions/tabs/pages in the Applications here or just those regions/tabs/pages for which are conditionally diaplayed.
- so that means in all the Pages/Regions/tabs/items in the entire Application, we have to call the Conditionally display..
- suppose we have 3 tabs, 5 pages, 6 regions, 15 items..that means in this table we have to enter (3+5+6+15) = 29 records for each individual users..
          username    chq_disp_option
   user1       re_region1
   user1       re_region2
   user1       tb_main
   user1       Page1
   user1       Page5
   ----        ----     - how you are defining unique name for Regions..i mean in static ID or the Title
- is the unique name for tab & item is same as the TAB_NAME (T_HOME) & Item Name (P1_ITEM1) or you are defining somewhere else.
Thanks,
Deepak

Best approach -To create RTF template having more than 50 tables.

Hi All,
Need your help.I am new to BI publisher. Currently we are using BIP 11g.
I want to develop.rtf template having lots of layout and images.
Data is coming from different tables (example : pulling from around 40 tables). When i tried to pull data from 5 tables by joining tables. It takes more time using data model in BI publisher 11g saved in xml and used in word doc.
Could you please suggest best approach weather i need to develop .rtf template via data model or query to generate a report.
Also please suggest / guide me .
Regards & Thanks in advance.

it's very specific requirements
first of all it's relate to logic behind
as example 50 tables are related ? or 50 independent tables ? or may be 5 related and another independent ?
based on relation of tables you create sql statement(s)
how many sql statement(s) you'll have lead to identify ways to get data, as example, by package or trigger etc
kim size of resulting select statement(s)
if size say 1mb it's must be fast to get report but for 1000mb it can consume many time
also kim what time it's not only to select data but to merge data and template
looks like experimenting and knowing full logic of report is only ways to get needed output in projection of data and time

Bins problem while creating goods receipt for production order.

Hi All,
          I am facing a problem with selection of bins while creating goods receipt for production order in transaction MB31 and MBBE.
The order of filling bins is with respect to storage Unit not by document no, Please suggest something.
The scene is like that.
The bins are not filled in the proper sequence, the system checks for the empty bins and filled those later on.
like this,.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

Best way to create a UI for a Composite app

Hi all,
What is the best way to create a UI for a Composite app that we are developing using CAF and GP.
1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app
3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object (If yes how can we map the input and output params b/n WebDynPro app CO and CAF Application service).
Plz do remember we are using GP here.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi,
You can use Web Dynpro or Visual Composer for designing UI for your CA.
1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
You can use Web Dynpro Component CO to use a single Web Dynpro component in your GP Activity.
4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object :This is for entire Web Dynpro Application(multiple components).
2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app :
3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
For example, in updating operations first we have to get the existing data from Database.For getting this data you can use application services in your Web Dynpro component.Later expose this WD component as CO insert in a GP activity.
For creating operations, you can use Web Service CO(Application Service) directly in GP Activity.
These links are useful for you.

Problem in creating new versions for existing DIR using CV01N

I am working in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4.0 system.
I have problem in creating new versions for existing DIR using CV01N
I create a DIR version 00 with functional location and mpd cycles. Then when i try to create a new version by copying the contents created from already created document.I change the MPD cycles in the new version and save it.
once when i display the first document created the mpdcycle specified in version 01 is copied to the 00 version.
The document is inconsistent where versioning of document doesnot work properly wrt MPDCYCLE and MP HEADER.
The problem which i found was the document identification guid remains the same for all the document versions getting created.
The same is working fine in SAP ERP6.0 EHP3.0 sytem.
Please someone help me in resolving the above issue.

How to create a datasource for 0COSTCENTER to load data in csv file in BI

how to create a datasource for 0COSTCENTER to load data in csv file in BI 7.0 system
can you emil me the picture of the step about how to loaded individual values of the hierarchy using CSV file
thank you very much
my emil is <Removed>
allen

Step 1: Load Required Master Data for 0CostCenter in to BI system
Step 2: Enable Characteristics to support Hierarchy for this 0Cost Center and specify the External Characteristic(In the Lowest Node or Last Node) while creation of this Characteristic InfoObject
Step 3: On Last Node of Hierarchy Structure in the InfoObject, Right Click and then Create Hierarchy MANUALLY by Inserting the Master Data Value as BI dosent Support the Hierarchy load directly you need to do it manually....
Step 4: Mapping
Create Text Node thats the first node (Root Node)
Insert Characteristic Nodes
Insert the Last Node of the Hierarchy
Then you need to create a Open hub Destination for extracting data into the .csv file...
Step1 : Create the Open Hub Destination give the Master Data table name and enter all the fields required....and create the transformations for this Open Hub connecting to the External file or excel file source...then give the location on to your local disk or path of the server in the first tab and request for the data...It should work alright let me know if you need anything else...
