My dashboard taking long time to load in ipad compared to Desktop. Experts need suggestion to tune my dashboard.

Hi Experts,
I have developed dashboard with BEX query as a source(9 queries used in dashboard). This dashboard opens in 40 secs in BI launchpad but if I open same dashboard through SAP BI app it almost taking 3-4 min. Is there any ways to improve performance in Ipad?
Info of Dashboard
* 20-25 components using in dashboard
* 100-150 formulae are used(VLOOKUP)
* SAP BO 4.0 SP6 I am using
Please need some tips to improve performance.
Regards
MAHANTESH

Hi MH,
Opening the dashboard in 40 secs in desktop is also a problem before jumping in to the ipad. Maximum it should take 5 - 10 secs to open the dashboard then only the clients will show interest on working with dashboards.
* 20-25 components using in dashboard
>>Check for unused components and try to remove it from the dashboard.
* 100-150 formulae are used(VLOOKUP)
>>Try to minimize the formula in excel, because the excel formula will throw lot of load at the time of processing the data. Instead of lookup's try to use index formula which is better than that.
1. Use "Refresh after components are loaded" which will make you components gets loaded first then the data comes.
2. File menu --> document properties. "Show Loading status" which explains or dashboard where it takes time to load.

Hi Experts need some clarity on these topics

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please guide me through the following questions
1. What is summit implementation menthodology?
2. What is the use of these different sevices?
u2013 Shared Query Engine
u2013 File Service
u2013 Authentication
3. Who will be the System Administrator( who can create App Sets)?
How many Application Administrators will be in the team (who can create Applications)?
Thanks and Regards,
Sireesha.

Hello,
The Summit implementation methodology was a methodology used by Outlooksoft to implement the product. After the acquisition of Outlooksoft by SAP and gthe subsequent rebranding of the product into BPC, SAP has integrated different sets of implementation methodologies into the SAP ASAP (Accelerated SAP) methodology, which is SAP's way of doing things. Currently, SAP Expertise centers are rolling out these methodologies into BPC projects.
Shared query engine: is the query engine BPC uses in the background to get queries and results back and from the server. Depending on the type of input the user has done/report the user need, the engine decides how to get this request handled, where to store the data and where to get the results from. The shared query engine runs on the application server.
File Service: whenever you store pre-built reports onto the server or datafiles to be used in datamanager, basically anything that involves the user, admin or system doing something with files, these files are stored in the Webfolders (altough these may be called BPC folders these days) directory and the file service hadles this traffic.
Authentication: well basically you have user authentication setup using the security setup from BPC 9in the Admin tasks). This restricts users to have access to certain tasks, entities or other secured diemnsions. So the whole security setup determines authenticication on the server to what a user is allowed to do, see, to input or to edit. Then you have also authentication in the backend (between servers). This is osmething an admin should not worry to much about as the system is supposed to handle this for you. For instance, a datamanager package authenticates itself at the SQL server to store data into its tables. So there is a system authentication service too that decides if a datamanager job is allowed to talk to this SQL server instance. But agina, these technical authnetications probalby should not worry you as an admin or superuser as the system handles those. Of course IT people might e interested to figure out what services need certain types of authentication, but in general, even they should not bother too much as this all comes with the BPC design and they cannot do a lot about it anyway, just give the correct rights to certain services (as described in the installation manual)
Finally, how many admins can there be ?
Well you will have a pute technical systems admin somewhere who handles master password and stuuf. But that person is not a BPC admin in the true sense. Again, any IT organisation has those people. From the functional side, you should of ocurse have at least one admin, but you can vary the number based on functional requirements or maybe requirements that come from a segregation of duties principle that has been determined by an audit department. In general, you will find that the audit guys want as little admins as possible, but from an operational perspective it is normal to have at least 2 or 3 people who "manage" the system form a functional perspective.
Hope this helps,

JTable Experts Needed :-)

Hello JTable Experts,
I have to build a planning application whose one screenshot is below.
http://nicolasjouve.free.fr/public/sample.PNG
My question is : should I use a JTable and customp 2D painting, or should I go for full Java2D ? I have to add that you may drag one card from a slot and put it in another one. Please note the mutiple lines header and multi column left header and the "cartoon like" captions in yellow....
Thanks in advance,

Well I don't see any huge features in your screenshot that would be too hard to implement.
Basically the column and row header are not supported by standard JTable (colorizing stuff is easy).
I would advise to use separate JTables for row and column headers (in additioin to main table), so you will need to synchronize scrolling. But this could be done. No need to make a custom component.
If you decide to design a new component, be sure to take the JTable source code and modify it (the best way is subclassing the existed classes).
Creation of new component from scratch could be quite difficult especially if you want it to be consistent with different LAFs.

Layering expert needed

I am looking to hire an expert with video layering to assist with a video-layering demonstration. Is there a reference resource for such needs?

Thank you all for the suggestions but I guess I should have been more clear - I'm looking for a list of video layering experts to hire. I don't have the time or money to become expert myself. I need someone who I can hire to work on a hoax video along the same lines as those where a guy gets hit by a car after falling down a lot of stone steps, or similar to the recent one showing the naked guy climbing out Buckingham palace. I'm making a hoax video and need a layering expert to assist.
Thanks,
Steve

Forensic Expert needs help with FCP

Hi,
I recently purchased FCP and I am a forensic audio expert.
I want to use this in court presentations as well as the occasional talk show appearance. I have a pretty good grasp on the functions and capabilities but I have two very important questions to ask.
1. I want to be able to visually display an Audio Wave form that moves in real time with the audio track for transcription purposes and court room presentation. In other words, I want the jury to be able to see either a spectrograph or wave form on a large screen while the transcript is superimposed on top of it. I am not worried about getting the text on the screen but I can't seem to figure out how to display the audio in either format visually moving in real time.
2. Are there any other forensic experts out there using FCP that might be willing to share some secrets or scripts with me?
Arlo
Please respond with an email to [email protected]

I don't know whether this will help but Sound Studio (that was bundled free with Macs a year ago) has some splendid, huge waveform displays.
Sound Studio 3 costs $80.
Sound Studio 2.2.4 has no price listed - I don't know whether it is free - but you can download it to test it:-

Message mapping problem / experts needed / UDF?

Hello experts,
I have the following problem in a message mapping:
Source structure is as follows:
- Node a (min 1, max 999)
- Subnode b (min 0, max 999)
- Each Subnode b has the element "number" (1,1)
This structure must be mapped to the following target structure:
- Node c (1,999)
 - Subnode d (0,999)
 - Each subnode d has the following elements:
 - e1
 - e2
 - e3
 - e11
1 Source node a should create 1 target node c.
All numbers in all subnodes b of one source node a should be mapped to the e1, e2,...e11 elements of the target structure. As one target node d can only contain up to eleven numbers, there must be several d nodes.
I have already tried to create a UDF, but it does not work.
Any experts who would like to share their knowledge?
Thanks in advance.

Edited by: Christoph G. on Apr 23, 2008 10:46 PM

Hello again,
meanwhile I have worked hard on it and I have found the solution (just one UDF (queue function) which gets the article numbers as well as constant(targetField). So the UDF covers the creation of the "groups" as well as the mapping of the article numbers.
It was really interesting and it made me ambitious to find the solution myself I do not have access to the system today, but I will post my solution as far as I have access again. Maybe you still want to search for a solution? It really may be fun, just like some kind of a puzzle game.
In order to make it more clear, here comes the source and target structure with an example. Let me once more explain it: In the source, there are positions, each with unlimited article numbers. Each position will create a targetPosition. The node "targetPosition" has the subNode "articlenrs" (unbounded). Articlenrs has 11 differnet elements, calles a1, a2, a3, ..., a11. That means, all article numbers from a source postion should be mapped to "groups of 11 target article numbers". Please be aware the there are 11 differnet target fields for article numbers: a1, a2, ... a11.
I think that' why the solution of Liang Ji and Rohit Kalugade will not work...
SOURCE
<position>
 <articlenr> 123 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 456 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 123 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 456 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 123 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 456 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 123 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 496 </articlenr>
 <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
 . (unbounded)
</positon>
<position>

MDN Issue in AS2 adapter.. Seeburger experts., Need help

Hi All,
Iam doing a scenario EDI-->Idoc for purchase order(ORDERS) by using AS2 adapter.
We are expected to send the technical acknowledgment once we receive the Orders from sender.
I think When we use the MDN (Message disposition notification), i will be getting the system generated acknowledge like below.
 <TransmissionReport>
<from>SAP</from>
<to>BIS</to>
<transmissionMsgID>43cc21a0-f752-11d8-c8ca-00c09f19e074</transmissionMsgID>
<sentAt>2004-08-26T132252+0200</sentAt>
<info/><adapterName>AS2</adapterName>
</TransmissionReport>
But my requirement is to send the ackowledgement with few more details like POnumber along with the standard details like below.
<TransmissionReport>
<from>SAP</from>
<to>BIS</to>
<transmissionMsgID>43cc21a0-f752-11d8-c8ca-00c09f19e074</transmissionMsgID>
<POnumber>6529833</POnumber>
<sentAt>2004-08-26T132252+0200</sentAt>
<info/><adapterName>AS2</adapterName>
</TransmissionReport>
1. Is there any option where i can modify the MDN acknowledgement file by adding few more fields??
2. If not please suggest me how i can proceed with this.
Note: We should not use by creating one more msgtype in SAP and send back the acknowledgement like Orders response(ORDRSP). They just want the file from XI itself.(But not from SAP Side).
Regards
Seema.
Edited by: Mike Pokraka on Jul 24, 2008 1:43 PM

Hi Reddy,
If ur problem is solved can u plz help me?
I have one question related to the MDN .
My scenario is like AS2 adapter is on the receiver side means its converting XML to EDI format. When the payload along with MDN is sent from the XI side EDI partner , the EDI partner sends back the MDN acknowledgment back to XI.
The problem is that XI is not able to accept the MDN acknowledgment.
Could you please suggest what all steps need to be configured to receive that MDN acknowledgment on XI side.
e.g 1)AS2 Communication channel with message protocol REPORTS
2)Sender agreement for accepting the acknowledgment
3) What type of message interface is to be used which is required in the configuration step for sender agreements(MDN specific format??)
4) Any other configuaration required ??
Please reply as soon as possible.
With regards,
Simran

IMac CRT Tube Expert Needed

Hi. I need to cut the CRT Tube of my iMac 350 G3 into half with a circular saw (the one with that looks like a grinding flat circle thing with bits of diamong/sandpaper like texture, using a Bosch drill). Is this safe? Would there be toxic gases or materials that will spew out the tube? How think is this CRT Tube?
God bless,
Alvin
applecatholic.com

Completely, totally, horrendously unsafe. There is a strong risk of fatal electric shock, tube implosion (lots of flying glass) as well as exposure to hazardous substances including lead, mercury, barium, cadmium and phosphorous. If improperly managed, the health risks associated with human contact to these five toxic substances within the CRT can be deadly.
So if you haven't already (in which case have someone post the hospital to which we should send flowers) DON'T!
BTW, this forum is for the new Intel-based iMac. For future questions, please be sure to post in the forum for your specific hardware.

JSF 1.2 Expert Needed

I�m a Test Development Manager with Brainbench (www.brainbench.com). We are a provider of high-quality, secure, online, certification tests using computer adaptive testing (CAT). We provide skill-based tests that measure a person's core knowledge in a specific field.
We are looking for Java Server Faces (JSF 1.2) test validators. These are Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the field of Java Server Faces (JSF 1.2). This is something that you will be paid to do on your own time, but it isn't very time consuming. The validators will go through the outline and the final test, and comment on suitability of questions/levels etc. As I've said, it is not a very time intensive task, only a few hours. Validators will make $300.00 per completed test. You must have access to a web browser in order to Validate. We are always looking for good teams, so once you are in our system there is always the chance that other projects will come up.
I am talking to a number of other qualified candidates about this project, so if you are interested please contact me ASAP. If you know of anyone else who is a Java Server Faces (JSF 1.2) Guru and might also be interested in this opportunity, please pass my name and information to him or her.

I doubt he'll come back 1.5 years later. I'm locking up.

Hi abap experts: need some help

1. how we will find out user-exit for particular transaction through packages please send me step by step?
2. i have created one table for that i have one change request. i have created one report program. for that i have one change request? which request is released first? and why?
3. what is the main difference between ale and edi?
4. in interactive report we have 20 secondary list? how we wiil move dynamically from one list to another list? like from 10 th list to 5th list ? if any code is there please send that code?

SMOD, is where you can find the system modifications provided by SAP. CMOD is where you will implement them. If you are looking for all the enhancements provided, then go to CMOD, follow the menu, 'Utilities-->SAP Enhancements'. This will take you to a screen where if you just execute it, you will get all the enhancements provided by SAP.
It is always difficult to find a user exit if all you have is a program name or a transaction code, unless you do a program like Rich suggested. But even there, you will not be able to find user exits that are implemented as sub-routines(also called forms not sapscript forms). Most of the user exits are documented under the corresponding task under IMG structure. So use transaction code SPRO, go to the IMG structure, choose the application area that your program or transaction might be and then you should find a task that talks about enhancements. If you execute that task most often it will take you to CMOD and sometimes to SE38. But all you want to know is there in the documentation attached to the task. Then you can go to CMOD and see which components are there.
Finding BADIs
Business add-ins are enhancements to the standard version of the system.
Business Add-In is a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects.
They can be inserted into the SAP system based on specific user requirements.
Each Business Add-In has:
at least one Business Add-In definition
a Business Add-In interface
a Business Add-In class that implements the interface
In order to enhance a program, a Business Add-In must first be defined
Subsequently two classes are automatically generated:
An interface with IF_EX_ inserted between the first and second characters of the BADI name.
An adapter class with CL_EX_ inserted between the first and second characters of the BADI name.
The Application developer creates an interface for this Add-In.
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
Set flag field "Buffer trace"
Remark: We need to trace also the buffer calls, because BADI database tables are buffered. (Especially view V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT)
Push the button "Activate Trace". Start transaction VA02 in a new GUI session. Go back to the Performance trace session.
Push the button "Deactivate Trace".
Push the button "Display Trace".
The popup screen "Set Restrictions for Displaying Trace" appears.
Now, filter the trace on Objects:
V_EXT_IMP
V_EXT_ACT
Push button "Multiple selections" button behind field Objects
Fill: V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT
All the interface class names of view V_EXT_IMP start with IF_EX_. This is the standard SAP prefix for BADI class interfaces. The BADI name is after the IF_EX_.
So the BADI name of IF_EX_CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA is CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.

Command Line Expert Needed: Deleted hostconfig (+ others) - boots to single user mode only !

Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11
Deleted folders/files when logged in as root user. (don't ask!)
On restart , wont boot up , get grey screen with white apple logo the black screen with command line: localhost:/ root#
Started up from install cd - repaired permissions (ran twice) & verified hard drive . All okay.
Restarted but still goes back into command line with same localhost:/ root prompt
Tried a bunch of different things as per advice on these boards - discovered that there is no hostconfig file.
Restarted into verbose mode.
Here are the lines that i think may reveal exactly what I messed up - and hopefully someone out there has an idea how I can try to fix without having to do an archive/install.
BSM auditing present
disabled
rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: (here a very long string of numbers and letters looks like a password)
Then a long line about
"got boot device = IOService:/MacRISC2PE ........."
Then, the following
"BSD root: disk0s3, major 14, minor 2"
"CSRHIDTransitionDriver::stop"
"IOBluetoothHCIController::start Idle Time Stopped"
(AND HERE'S THE BIGGIE:)
/etc/rc: line 93: /etc/hostconfig: No such file or directory
Apr 1. 06:01:44 launched: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going into single user mode
localhost:/ root#
I'm pretty sure I messed thing up pretty well - was mainly network/server folders and files - definitely samba, which I think I deleted, and under "network" in the finder, I also might have deleted my computer from the server list
As an aside in case this provides any insight, when I go to the terminal app when starting up from install cd, the prompt reads :
"bash-2.05b"
I'm also able to see the contents of my hard drive when using disk utility from install cd and and trying to "mount image" ---
Everything looks intact in terms of folders/files in my user account, but in the /root folder, there's only /library - which is empty.
Any help, insight, troubleshooting and even scolding - will be welcome! I need this thing booted
Cheers

I do not have a backup. Should I back up before I try doing a reinstall of the os x?
That's also known as shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted.
It can't hurt, but it's not going to help much.
Camelot: when you say "apps and user content should stay intact" - doesn't sound very definitive. Are there any variables that come into play?
No.. generally it's pretty reliable, but yours is an odd situation. I wouldn't expect to lose any user data, just CYA
I do have a start up disk along with some apps that I created in retrospect many years ago ....(I think it's os x 10.2.8) Can I use this to boot up and then just navigate to my user files so I can get some things done that I need to?
Unlikely. For one have you even tried restoring from your Retrospect backup? (it's not the most reliable system).
Secondly, you can't boot from your Retrospect backup, so you'll need to restore that system to boot from it. Have you got a second disk to restore to (you do NOT want to restore 10.2.x over your 10.4.x system).
in terms of "random deleted files" : not entirely random
Ok, maybe not entire random, but it's also somewhat unknown. You need to have some idea of what files you're trying to restore, but if you haven't got them in a backup where are you going to get them from?
You cannot just take old copies from your 10.2.x system and hope they'll work (in case that's what you're thinking).
The BEST solution is to boot from the 10.4.x installer disk and let it do its thing.
And for what its worth, Unauthorized access attempts, in and of themselves, are not a cause for concern since they were clearly caught by the OS. It's the access attempts that succeed (and are not logged) which are more of an issue.

CLI Expert needed.
