Category for an application

I have this package in AUR called xkcdviewer. I have currently put it under category "none". This is a comic-strip reader -- so should it go under multimedia or should it go under network, since it gets the comic-strip from the internet?
Honestly, none of the categories really define this app. Or is it just ok to have category "none".
P.S. : This is not an attempt to advertise the package....although it helps too
EDIT :: my 700th post -- I am the 007 of the mirrored dimension

You can put in in multimedia. Most of the other comic viewer are in that category.

    Hi,
    You could monitor the SMSProv.log when you check the category of an application. It shows that SQL query the SCCM provider used is related to function fn_ListCategoryInstances.

  • New relationship category for business partner

    I want to create a new relationship category for the business partner. Could anybody guide on this, how to create?
    --hari

    Hi Karunakar,
    I went to transaction BUMR and created the new relationship category. I can see this in the SPRO -> cross application components -> SAP business partner -> BP Relationships -> Properties of relationship categories.
    Go to BUMR -> Relationship Control -> Relationship Categories (BUBA)
    I have copied the existing contact person relationship as my new relationship category
    But it is not visible when I went to relationships tab in business partner.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Problem in Creating Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files

    Dear Friends,
    I am trying to ccreate "Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files" . I checked the link
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
    I created a new DOc. type TMP with no statuses, checked in KPO, assigned no. ranges.
    Created  DIR & assigned the template file, checked into storage category. DIR no. 10000000390 created.
    In Workstation application "DOX" in define templates for originals : doc. type: ZGA, application: DOX; language- EN; no - 01; In source doc- entered doc. type- TMP, doc. no.- 10000000390, part & version
    Assigned for required source file copy" ZGA doc. type. -- Default Appl. as "DOX" workstation application.
    Now created a DIR with ZGA doc. type, when clicking on originals , DOX prompted and clicking on "create with template" . TMP doc. 10000000390 template open in a new window. I edited & saved. close the MS word window. When comes to DIR, it prompted, Original was changed Do you want to save the original?.
    clicked on yes.
    Saved the ZGA DIR. When I saw the new ZGA DIR created it didn't capture. Where I went wrong ?

    Dear Ravindra,
    By going this below link, it seems we can use template for creating ne wdocument & attach the same.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
    Following messages if you read, it may be clear.
    By having templates in place we can utilize the pre-defined documents instead creating right from scratch.
    Entries can be done in the Template and save the document.
    Templates are used for standardization and uniformity. By using templates time consumption for creation of documents will reduce as most of the details are maintained in the master template and the same can be utilize by using the template when creating documents.
    If in DMS editing functionality is not there what is the use of templates- documentation?

  • We need a No-Charge TAQ item Category for a Sales BOM

    We have a situation where we will bring in several Sales BOM's on a Sales order, but need to have one or more of the Sales BOM's to be a No-Charge item (similar to a TANN Item Cat).
    We are using ERLA (top down) Item Category Group for the Sales BOM materials and when we use these materials in a sales order I would like to be able to change the some of the Sales BOM's Item Category to a No Charge category (we created a ZAQ item category for this situation), but when you creating the Sales Order, the top level item where the pricing is (the TAQ item category) is GRAYED out and I can not change it to our new ZAQ category, even though it appears in the drop down list for the Item Category.
    Is there any way to make the top level TAQ item category for Item Cat. Group ERLA a maintainable field on the Sales order?

    As I know- std , will not support Return scenario of Sales BOM & Free goods.
    Work around may be needed to achieve this, other than standard.
    Create Zitem category by copying from REN - (ZREN - with structure scope & application), determine item category for sub items as well.
    Maintain copy controls accordingly from RE to LR - Ret delivery & RE- Credit for returns.
    Test & revert.

  • Defalting Account assignment category for PRs

    Hi,
    How do I configure to have automatically default a u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D depending on PR document type, so the user cannot change/enter Account assignment categoryu201D .
    For example if the PR type is u201CService PRu201D, all line items must have the u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D as u2018Ku2019 and if the PR type is u201CCapital PRu201D the   u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D must always be u2018Au2019

    Hi there,
    There is no direct way to link document type and account assignment category.
    But you can try this which is close.
    --> One is through Personal setting in PO screen.
    Can be done at Personal Setting TAB in application toolbar( extreme right side) in the PO (ME21N) screen.
    Click default value
    PO header , enter your PO document type &
    PO item, enter acc. ***. Cat. K
    & Save.
    The other way is controlling through the item category, maintain only one account assignment category for your item category in SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define combination of item category/account assignment category.

  • When will Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data be fixed??

    Has anyone heard when Adobe will fix Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data??  It's still happening with 9.1.3 for only users who have their Application Data folder redirected via Group Policy.
    It's been going on for some time, as evidenced by the following link, and my own personal pain fighting this
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738?start=100&tstart=0

    Also posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738
    I haven't read through all of the posts, but the general consensus I have is that the issue is in fact related to the redir
    ection of the Application Data folder. The main issue being that the use of a UNC path causes the error described, with some mention to explicit user permissions on the root of the folder path.
    I was just recently made aware of this issue in our environment. Apparently we've held off upgrading to Adobe 9.x because of this issue. After a little research, it was apparent that simply modifying the default Folder Redirection policies is not possible because the use of a mapped drive is not supported.
    I haven't had a chance to test this yet, and may not be able to for some time, so I thought I would share this in case someone else might be able to test. The idea being to simply use a custom ADM file to force the redirection of certain profile folders. Again, I haven't tested this using a mapped drive in the path, but I have successfully used the same settings below to redirect other folders not available by default in Group Policy.
    1) Copy the text between ----- Start of ADM ------ and ----- End of ADM ------ and paste it into a text file.
    2) Rename the .txt to .adm.
    3) Load the ADM template into a GPO.
    4) Right click "USER Custom Settings", select "View", select "Filtering" and uncheck the option "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed".
    5) Configure the "Redirect Application Data" option as enabled, and enter a mapped drive path.
    6) Test.
    I'm interested to hear if this is a viable solution or not.

  • Incompatible with Yamaha YPG-625 keyboard for MIDI applications

    I received a keyboard, Yamaha YPG-625 for Christmas. When I went to connect to my Mac Pro, I discovered that the CD-ROM for MIDI applications is for Windows only. First, I cannot understand why manufacturers still ignore the Mac, particularly in the realm of medis, where Mac is considered superior. Any thoughts I this point? Second, does anyone know what steps I need to take to overcome this problem? Can the Windows CD-ROM be made to work with my Mac? I have Neo Office, MacLink Plus, and several other converters. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to respond. Al

    After reading your question carefully, I suspect that the Yamaha came with some MIDI editor software for which they did not provide a Mac version. If that is the case then I would agree with you that Yamaha is being lazy about giving Mac users some compatibility out of the box. I suspect that the Keyboard WILL work as a MIDI controller out of the box, however, and that you should be able to use it to control Garage Band, for example.
    That leads to the next question: What exactly do you want to acomplish on your MacPro using the Yamaha as a controller? Since it has it's own sounds you can record the audio output into Garage Band and then do any (basic) editing in there. The Yamaha seems to have pretty basic sequencer capabilities (6 tracks, 5 songs) so I can certainly see how using the mac to record and edit your MIDI would expand your capabilities. To be honest, as a ProTooler I'm not too familiar with Garage Band's MIDI editing capabilites, but I suspect it covers the basics. I also suspect that whatever software was bundled with the Yamaha is also pretty basic, or "limited Edition" versions, etc.
    If you are serious about recording and editing your music you might want to look into some of the other software packages that are out there. Logic Express from Apple is a pretty nice complement of features for $200 and Logic Studio for $500 should be able to do anything you might reasonably imagine is possible. There are others like Cubase, Ableton Live etc. If you need to do any recording using microphones, then you are likely to need some sort of audio interface with mic-pres and more than 2 input channels at a time. In this category, the MBoxes from digidesign are reasonable priced and you get ProTools software to boot.
    My advice is to get the keyboard working as a controller for Garage Band first, play around with that program to see what a MIDI/audio sequencer can do, and then decide what capabilities you're going to need in the future.

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

  • Query to find out the time used by an user for an application

    Hello All,
    I want to know the query to find out the whole time used by the user for an application. Please view the below data
    Employee:

    1 10 Visu 21-Nov-2010 06:30:00 07:30:00

    4 10 Visu 21-Nov-2010 07:30:00 08:30:00
    5 10 Visu 21-Nov-2010 09:30:00 10:30:00
    By checking the above data we can say that the total time Visu used the application is
    8.30 - 6.30 (From 1,2,3,4 records) = 2hrs
    10.30 - 9.30 (Based on 5th rec) = 1hr
    So the total time Visu used the application would be 3 hrs = 180 mins.
    Could you please help me in getting the result from that data using a query?

  • Creating a "context" for an application...or something like that

    hey all. I've got a console program that runs all the time, on a TimerTask. What I would like to do is create objects in the main class and have those objects available to other classes and threads generated by the stuff the TimerTask's thread creates, but without passing objects around. Sort of like one would do with servlet/jsp programming with contexts and the request scope and such.
    I come from a web background, and so I think about this very much like a "scope" thing, where objects can be created and put in the request scope, and then other objects can avail themselves of stuff in the request scope.
    What i'm really trying to do is create a DB Connection pool in the main class and have threads and such use the connections, but i don't want to pass the pool object around to all the different objects within the TimerTask's thread. But this is more a question of scoping or availability of objects than it is about DBCP, per se.
    I feel like I should have learned this stuff in java 101 way back when, but I didn't, or I forgot, and now i need to gitterdone.
    Any tips? Thanks os much.

    create objects in the main class and have those
    objects available to other classes and threads
    generated by the stuff the TimerTask's thread
    creates, but without passing objects around. Sort of
    like one would do with servlet/jsp programming with
    contexts and the request scope and such.In fact, with servlets and JSPs, the objects are passed around via a ServletConfig object (the servlet's public void init(ServletConfig config) method) for the application (ServletContext) scope. The request scope of course is passed along to the service methods in the ServletRequest object, as is the HttpSession scope. The PageContext is generated in a JSP at the beginning of the _jspService method...
    But anyway, that is not what you need to do... If you want one context that the whole application can use, you can create a Singleton class, and use a static method from the class (of a Factory Object) to generate the Context/pass around the already generated Context. Take a www.google.com search for Singleton and you should see what I mean. But, since you will be working with multiple threads, make sure you sinchronise your methods...
    I come from a web background, and so I think about
    this very much like a "scope" thing, where objects
    can be created and put in the request scope, and then
    other objects can avail themselves of stuff in the
    request scope.If you want more than one Context, then that is a bit more difficult. What I would do is have some sort of TaskFactory that generates your classes (Tasks) that run in the Timer. Follow the Servlet example of having a TaskConfig object that will hold a reference to the single ApplicationContext that all tasks share, then generates a new TaskContext that will serve individual threads. Pass this TaskConfig object into each of your class's init(...) methods. (Maybe have an AbstractTask that has an init(TaskConfig ) method that stores it in a protected class variable so each individual Task doesn't have to worry about it - like the GenericServlet does...)
    What i'm really trying to do is create a DB
    Connection pool in the main class and have threads
    and such use the connections, but i don't want to
    pass the pool object around to all the different
    objects within the TimerTask's thread. I think this is usually done with a Singlton, I could be wrong though... I beleive a search through the forums for Connection Pooling may provide some examples...
    But this is
    more a question of scoping or availability of objects
    than it is about DBCP, per se.

  • APEX 3.0 with Single Sign On for single application

    Hi All,
    I have been playing around with SSO (IAS 10.1.2) and an APEX application for the past couple of days and am still having problems.
    I have followed the instructions word for word in the various how to documents named in this forum and am now at the point where I successfully redirect to SSO login page > login using a username created in OID (which is the same username/password in my application) > then get redirected back to "http://<MY_SSO_HOST>:7777/sso/auth"..
    Some things about my instance:
    1. Oracle DB > 10g 10.1.2
    2. Oracle IAS > 10g 10.1.2 (different server to above)
    3. APEX 3.0 > trying to run SSO authentication against a single application rather than the whole APEX instance.
    4. I have (after a lot of grief - figured out that the DAD MUST be /pls/somedad and that the port number 80 must be defined in the SSO token regardless - those two little gems got me as far as I am..
    Now I know very little about SSO and am trying to evaluate it for my application (which uses a DB login/password and has to continue to do so for other reasons which I do not control). I am assuming there is some method of synchronizing the OID/SSO repository with my db accounts but haven't yet figured that one out.
    I cannot for the life of me see what's wrong here. Any ideas??

    Thanks Scott..
    Okay let me go through the responses here..
    ...login using a username created in OID (which is the same username/password in my application)
    My application overlays another Oracle application (old client server) which relies on physical database user accounts to perform its own internal grants etc. i.e. it uses where USER = blah all over the place.
    Therefore my application is currently using the internal authentication scheme DATABASE (using DAD to resolve the credentials). In attempting to use SSO I am assuming that SSO must in some way be synched with my database (otherwise how does it pass any password changes applied in SSO to the database?)
    Given that it's a base install (SSO) the only login I have there is the default orcladmin account. So I am trying to figure out how to get SSO to pass an acceptable login name/password to my application. My first attempt has been to create a user in OID that matches the DB login to see if SSO passes these on login - maybe I'm completely missing the point here??
    ...After login you get redirected to "http://<MY_SSO_HOST>:7777/sso/auth"? That's not right..
    I have created/registered the application as per the how to guide using <my app name>.<my host>:<port> and setting the success URL to http://<my host>:<port>/pls/<mydad>/<my schema>.<custom success proc>
    When I fire up my browser and go to http://<my host>/pls/<mydad>/f?p=9900:1 it sends me to the SSO login page. After entering my username and password I then end up with a HTTP 404 - not found page with the URL "http://<MY_SSO_HOST>:7777/sso/auth".
    ..You should think about getting to 10.2 at least, ..
    Agreed but when I tried to upgrade the other day it fell in a big heap - so I backed it out to 10.1 again.
    ..I think I know what you mean. You installed the SSO SDK in a schema local to one workspace..
    That is correct - had to do it as my instance has multiple applications and I want to check it works on this one before breaking anything else!
    ..No, that's not always the case. If you find that putting '80' in works in your configuration and leaving it out doesn't work then put it in..
    I tried initially without the 80 but it threw errors whenever I tried to connect (these errors were APEX ones not SSO). On an off chance I put the 80 in there and presto it worked (in the sense that it redirected me to SSO anyway).
    ..Your application's use of a DB login/password is incongruous with using a different authentication method -- SSO or any other...
    Given the constraints mentioned earlier (answer to first question above) I don't really have much choice. I have an Oracle application that uses DB accounts to authenticate users and authorize thier use of the app modules. What I need to do is 'wrap' and APEX application around this Oracle application to make it SOX compliant (it does not currently enforce password aging/structure etc.) So.. I was thinking that SSO might be the answer.
    If SSO (used with OID) can enforce password aging and policies my intent is to have SSO 'manage' the user passwords for my APEX app (and it's underlying Oracle application). Hence the question about synching SSO with the underlying DB accounts. I thought the whole point of SSO/OID was to allow various enterprise apps to have thier authentication layers 'managed' by SSO - again maybe I'm misinterpreting this..
    ..if your application is working now with a non-SSO authentication scheme, then it should continue to work the same with SSO because after authentication, APP_USER is FRED in both cases..
    Agreed - but how does SSO "know" to let a given user have access to that particular application?
