Collection of Tips and Observations

Being quite new to DPS and having just completed a 100 page brochure I wanted to share some observations and hopefully get some back.
Some of these may not be true as there may be better ways of working that we haven't discovered yet, and some may be blatently obvious but this is what we have found.
If you have lots of pages that make use of the same interactivity, setting this up on a master page saves a lot of time, but as you make each new page make sure you release from the master straight away otherwise elements like buttons and actions will not be linked to the right element on the page and will cause In Design to crash when uploading the article
Using layers for different interative elements can really help organise the interacivity, but make sure all layers are active before you upload the article if you have buttons that link to an inactive layer then In Design will probably crash again
Labelling buttons and MSO clearly saves a lot of time if you need to trouble shoot why something isnt behaving as you expect later on, In Design makes a good job of renaming duplicate buttons by adding a sequencial number, but if you have several duplicated elements on the same page naming them by their position on the page can help you when linking button actions, e.g. Image Slide Left, Image Slide Right. Having buttons with identical names can also cause crashes when uploading articles, but not always.
Buttons inside MSO can only control elements inside the same MSO, a bit of lateral thinking (and forum help) can probably achieve the intended results
If Video content is placed inside a frame that hides (crops) part of the video, the whole video is still shown when published (might be doing this wrong)
Edge animations that rely on custom javascript need to be added as HTML not OAM (unless there is a way to embed the javascript into oam files?)
anyway those are just my initial observations based on builing a publication that has a lot of identical layout product pages.

If Video content is placed inside a frame that hides (crops) part of the video, the whole video is still shown when published (might be doing this wrong)
You can crop the video as long as the mask is set to be an overlay object.

  • A collection of tips and tricks

    A collection of seemingly useful tips for MSI TV@nywhere posted by various people I assembled for my own reference. Hopefully this could be of some use too to some of you guys. Some entries on the list are not properly credited, my apologies. Please add more to the list if you like.
    1. (Broken record) when encountering problems, first try un-install the programs and drivers and then reinstall the drivers and the programs. I have cured a few undesirable behaviors of the finicky MSIPVS this way. If installed before the drivers, MSPVS might not associates itself with the drivers properly. Use the driver installer program, PVSSetup, to do the uninstall.  I found this is the easiest if not the only way to uninstall cleanly the drivers (Windows XP.) You might need a cold reboot before the changes take effect. Problems encountered and solved include: Stuck-at-Afghanistan, cannot configure channels, non responsive remote, no channel 31.
    2. hyperthreading problems: follow the sticky thread by hschroed
    3. Sound problems
       No sound
       Sound disappears after 10 sec
    Disable Norton antivirus real time scan for Instant Messenger (barnie_bg)
       Scratchy sound at Windows startup
    Use AUX as input and set it to mute. MSIPVS un-mutes it at startup and mute it at exit. Does not work for Line-in.  PVS un-mutes it at startup but does not mute it when exiting.
       Sound card has more than two speaker output
    Some sounds which support more than two speakers have shared input and output ports. Make sure you are set for TWO SPEAKERS, not four or six. If you are set for four or six during the install the MSIPVS will not detect an available line in or even an Auxillary in (digitaldreams)
    4. Installation problems
    "InterVideo?WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    “Problem too was new quicktime codecs. Codecs that are part of the newest update to Nero (6.3.1.15). A "quick fix" is to rename the files "NeQTADec.ax" and "NeQTVDec.ax" in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\". (shizzle)
    5. Windows do not boot properly could be caused by IRQ issues
    1. MSI TV@anywhere may not share IRQ gracefully. Swapping the card to a different slot sometimes fix problems.
    2. If possible, enable APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Control).  You might need to update the motherboard BIOS and reinstall Windows. The procedure outlined below might allow you to activacte APIC without reinstalling Windows:
    http://p199.ezboard.com/fk7s5amotherboardforumfrm6.showMessage?topicID=329.topic
    6. divX link
    A popup window, during installation of WinProducer / WinCoder, links to this FREE software. Look for the "StandardDivX Codec(FREE)" link hereFREE DivX Codec. Haven't had any trouble with card after reading the manual and trying different settings. (bendorfold)
    7. Unable to capture with dx9
    WinXP hotfix (KB825116) by (daffyd)
    8. Program will not load
    Maybe an application has been installed in your PC, such as cyberlink PowerVCR or PowerDVD? "claud.ax" is PowerDVD Audio Decoder filter.I think it must not work together smoothly with InterVideo Application. You can uninstall cyberlink AP first, And then reinstall InterVideo MSIPVS.
    8. Third party software programs that work with the TV card
    WinAmp http://winamptv.zapto.org
    TV plugin for Winamp
    INCORRECT driver operation regarding tuning (see this thread)
     (barny_bg)
    Chris_TV
    It seems that the guys from ChrisTV have a beta with support for MSI CARDS .
    Here is where I found the info :
    http://forum.chris-tv.com/index.php?act=...st=15#entry1808
    (Johny2k)
    9. MSI radio
    No sound
    MSI Radio uses only Line-In to interface to the sound card. If you are using other than the Line-in for the TV section, be sure to connect the sound output of the TV card to Line-in of the sound card.
    10. Useful link (Barnie_bg)
    n   "IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL" (see this thread).

    any chance this could be made a sticky?
    a tip i'm gonna bring over from the Mega PC forum:
    make sure when you first install Windows that it installs itself to the C: drive. If it tries to install to the F: drive (because card readers take C: and D:, and optical drive E:), cancel installation, go into BIOS and temporarily disable USB controller to stop card reader working. Once Windows installs itself into C: partition and reboots to continue installation, you can renable the card reader.
    this is because MSIPVS (and possibly Media Center III) will not install if Windows is not found on C: drive (Remote Procedure Call failure errors).
    i discovered this to my horror after reinstalling Windows 3 times...  

  • SAP SCM and SAP APO: Best practices, tips and recommendations

    Hi,
    I have been gathering useful information about SAP SCM and SAP APO (e.g., advanced supply chain planning, master data and transaction data for advanced planning, demand planning, cross-plant planning, production planning and detailed scheduling, deployment, global available-to-promise (global ATP), CIF (core interface), SAP APO DP planning tools (macros, statistical forecasting, lifecycle planning, data realignment, data upload into the planning area, mass processing u2013 background jobs, process chains, aggregation and disaggregation), and PP/DS heuristics for production planning).
    I am especially interested about best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO. For example, [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 3.1.1|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700006480652001E] and [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 4.0|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000596412005E] contain pretty useful knowledge about CIF.
    If you know any useful best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO, I would appreciate if you could share those assets with me.
    Thanks in advance of your help.
    Regards,
    Jarmo Tuominen

    Hi Jarmo,
    Apart from what DB has suggested. you should give a good reading on the following.
    -Consulting Notes (use the application component filters in search notes)
    -Collective Notes (similar to the one above)
    -Release Notes
    -Release Restrictions
    -If $$ permit subscribe to www.scmexpertonline.com. Good perspective on concepts around SAP SCM.
    -There are a couple of blogs (e.g. www.apolemia.com) .. but all lack breadth.. some topics in depth.
    -"Articles" section on this site (not all are classified well.. see in ECCops, mfg, SCM, Logistics etc)
    -Serivce.sap.com- check the solution details overview in knowledge exchange tab. There are product presentations and collaterals for every release. Good breadth but no depth.
    -Building Blocks - available for all application areas. This is limited to vanilla configuration of just making a process work and nothing more than that.
    -Get the book "Sales and Operations Planning with SAP APO" by SAP Press. Its got plenty of  easy to follow stuff, good perspective and lots of screen shots to make life easier.
    -help.sap.com the last thing that most refer after all "handy" options (incl. this forum) are exhausted. Nevertheless, this is the superset of all "secondary" documents. But the maze of hyperlinks that start at APO might lead you to something like xml schema.
    Key Tip: Appreciate that SAP SCM is largely driven by connected execution systems (SAP ECC/ERP). So the best place to start with should be a good overview of ERP OPS solution overview, at least at the significant level of depth.). Check this document at sdn wiki "ERP ops architecture overview".
    I have some good collection of documents though many i havent read myself. If you need them let me know.
    Regards,
    Loknath

  • Office 2013 APP-V Tips and Tricks

    Hi there, 
    I got Office 2013 working with APP-V 5.0 Sp2 and rolling it out globally. 
    Out of the box nothing goes wrong, but i'm testing a lot and whenever I unpublish and do not delete the old programdata directory my computers go nuts. 
    Does anyone have any tips and tricks for troubleshooting the Office 2013 APP-V Package? 
    For Example I unpublished the Office 2013 APP-V package because I needed to update it with a connection group and add an excel plugin. After I updated the excel plugin and connection group, the connection group was configured succesfully. Whenever I try
    to open Office 2013 on a already used account it won't start without an error message. 
    When I log in as as different user everything goes fine. 
    However everything i'm trying to fix this for a particular user on the computer fails. 
    Manually removing the packages gives an error. Something with a rollback error. Really strange. 
    Does anyone have tips and tricks on rolling out App-v and publishing/unpublishing the application and modifying application connection groups. 
    This is driving me bananas because we have a dynamic changing environment. Out of the box it works fine but don't try to change anything because the computer goes nuts. 

    So I found out this value:     <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
    So if I perform the remove-appvclientpackage command I guess it sticks on this because something in the script goes wrong but how do I found
    out what goes wrong? 

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • CSS General Tips and Tricks, Please if you can add to this, thanks

    I thought of some general guidelines in CSS and XHTML, please feel free to add some more if you think i missed, thanks in advance !
    No Empty Divs
    Use text-indents in hyperlinks for images and images background so that the  div does not remain empty
    Even if you have a division marker that contains a backgrounds and is  embedding another inner-container (or any other reason), use a  text-indent:-9999px so that it does not appear empty.  This misuse has led to  many misinterpretations by search engines
    Validate your codes on W3C
    Even if there is a warning, there’s always this possibility to wipe it out  and write the right piece of code for it.
    No Ids! Classes & inheritance
    We’re in 2010 now ladies, things have changed and now it’s the new era.  Like  for me, it was quite a bite that day I got those slaps (uhh… let’s call that  e-slaps for the sake of this article) from my boss, who clearly mentioned the  important generic methodologies of using inheritance techniques in everything we  do… And that included CSS my oh my..
    Besides, even if you are using ids, make sure that they are unique and that  they are not being duplicated elsewhere on your page.  That’s the good thing  with the W3C validator: it doesn’t miss those
    Comment your lines of codes
    There are many advantages for this, the major one I’m considering is to help  situate the programmer in line who will be taking your codes elsewhere.  It’s a  form of diplomacy, hence good practice.
    No Styling in your html pages: out!
    It’s better to transfer all the related style, with comments alongside on  your generic style sheet
    Insert Images on web pages only if necessary
    Whenever there is an opportunity not to insert an image as an <img  src>, do it; the best practice is to load it as a background image and if  possible use write any text that’s ever found on the image instead of importing  the image from photoshop or any app you’re using down to tyou
    Anti-aliasing of gif images for better image  quality
    I have this luck of having a chief who knows quite a sleek stuffs in  photoshop and image rendering techniques and that includes gif images.
    Integrators love gifs: light, minimal use of colors.. when they’res no  curves in any way, but what about transparency ?
    There are possibilities to avoid the use of pngs, which are usually heavier  and take quite some time to load.  Sometimes when gifs are being exported, codes  or designers forget the background image on which the gif will be laid onto.   That is why anti-aliasing techniques are very important for keeping the design  intact.
    use overflow: hidden instead of clear:both
    More information can be found on this link:
    http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
    To brief a bit, using clear is like ol’ school teaching stuff which was the  fast-driven solution while the overflow:hidden seems to satisfy the major  browsers like MSIE, FFx , Chrome, etc…
    Minimise the use of style sheets
    Avoid using different style sheets for different browsers. Use one generic  style sheet,  unless you have different themes for different pages, but that  depends.   All this creates confusion and that might also mean you are not be  using the right html codes and the right css styles
    To minimise the use of multiple style sheets, use:
    i.e. <!–[if IE  6]><div id=”IE6″><![endif]–>
    Validate your css codes on  http://jigsaw.w3.org
    Jigsaw is the CSS passport for integrators.  I never knew it, but now O I  know !
    It’s the haven.  The hide in our line of business.  It’s what keeps our ego  hmmm strong and heavily proud, the reason why integrators are so needed in the  web business.
    * Squeak *
    Always have this final habit to validate your css in the following  link
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/ to make sure that you are in line with your css  standards.  Even if there are warnings, that would mean you are wrongly  interpreting your css codes or that some styles have been duplicated here and  there.
    Conclusion
    That’s all for now folks.  I think , whenever I’ll have some more time, I’d  probably create a CSS tips and tricks Part 2, cos amending what’s already there  would sound so cheap and it’s not like facebook, uhh Sheran changed that  article, etc..
    It’s good to have some feedbacks and all, well, that’s probably interesting  to know what’s out in the CSS jungle, so jot in some lines, criticise, be blunt  and bold and don’t hesitate to contact me (except ma okes at work, you know who  you are, ladies) for any info ya need
    À La Prochaine !

    use CSS, it will save you time no matter how much DW does things automatically for you
    if you don't know how it's done, ask or view source. css is client side code and can be viewed.
    use divs instead of tables for layouts
    firefox has a great plugin called HTML Validator (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/). you don't have to keep going to the w3c website to validate. when viewing your page within firefox it will validate it and tell you any errors and warnings. saves me a lot of time. it's also great if you're development environment is behind a firewall - you won't have to view source, copy & paste onto w3c validator. they don't have support for html5 yet
    this could be more of style and preference but i use multiple files of css. usually 2 or 3. one is for the layout (layout.css), one is for forms (form.css) and one for display data. anything more can become more work when it's time to make any changes, especially with multiple people working on the same project
    create a standard workflow. naming conventions for file names, class names, etc.
    i'm not sure you can get away from those IE specific css. i've tried a campaign at work to not support IE so that we become fully compliant with the web but unfortunately, IE still has a lot of users. what we've done is support IE but the latest versions only. M$ is at least getting better with being compatible.
    view the page in firefox and IE. if they work, then you should be fine with the other browsers. as a developer, it's my responsibility to ensure that any user whether mac or pc can view the website - as long as they are running the "latest" version of the browser. latest as in what the software developer still supports.
    well that's my tips, tricks and a little pet peeve here and there

  • Observable and Observer

    I am trying to use Java Observable and Observer to notify the change in one object to other.
    So i have to extend Observable class on the object which i want to montior on and
    my observer class implements the observer to listen toupdate.
    I have achieved the basic Observable and observer running.
    Where I am having problem is, I couldn't figure out how to monitor, lets say 100 instance of the same object, with one object? I am not even
    sure whether it is possible or not, if yes, can somebody tell me how
    this can be achieved.
    what i want to do in code
    //The Observable class
    public class Foo extends Observable {
        public void setFoo(String abc){
             //blah blah
             setChanged();
              notifyObservers();
    //Observer class
    public class observeFoo implements Observer{
        public void update(Observable o, Object oo){
            //blah blah
    }Lets say i have 100 threads running each holding one instance of Foo
    class. Is it possible to observe all those Foo instance running on each
    thread by one observeFoo class? If yes how?
    any help will be appreciated.
    thanx in advance.

    Just add the single Observer as an observer to all the observable objects. NotifyObservers() will do the rest.

    Hi. I'm planning a migration from FM (unstructured) to RH. I'd appreciate any tips and best practices for the migration process. (Note that at the moment I plan to import the FM documents into, not link to them from, RH.)
    For example, my current FM files are presently not optimally "chunked", so that autoconverting FM file sections (based on, say, Header 1 paragraph layout) won't always result in an optimal topic set. I'm thinking of going through the FM docs and inserting dummy paragraphs with a tag somethike like "topic_break", placed in more appropriate locations that the existing headers. Then, during import to RH, I'd use the topic_break paragraph to demark the topics. Is this a good technique? Beyond paragraph-based import delineation, do you know of any guidelines for redrafting FM chapter file content into RH topics?
    Also, are there any considerations/gotchas in the areas of text review workflow, multiple authoring, etc. after the migration? (I've not managed an ongoing RH doc project before, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    BTW, the main reason for the migration: Info is presently scattered in various (and way to many) PDF files. There's no global index. I'd like to make a RoboHelp HTML interface (probably WebHelp layout) so it can be a one-stop documentation shop for users.

    Fm may produce better output for your requirements but for many what Rh produces works just fine. My recent finding re Word converting images to JPG before import will mean a better experience for many.
    Once Rh is set up, and it's not difficult, for many its printed documents will do the job. I would say try it and then judge.
