Creating and watching News Items

All right first of all, let me clarify that I'm a COMPLETE newbie to knowledge management and come form a non-technical background.
I've read the SAP documentation and it didn't help so please don't copy paste the same information and links.
Here's my problem...
I need to create a Home Tab when I login to Enterprise Portal.
I need news items to display in this tab.
I need to know how to create these news items and display them. I can't seem to find screenshots of this process and the SAP documentation tells me to click on stuff I can't seem to find on my screen.
I have the Content Administration, Content Manager, User Administration and System Administration roles.
I need step by step help and guidance and not copy-psted snippets and links to pages that don't explain this using screenshots.
Max points to anyone who delivers an authentic and easy-to-understand answer. I will need to ask at least 25 different questions on KM over the next 10 days and will award maximum points for each question to whoever helps me solve the problem. Please don't simply link me to pages that don't contain step by step instructions and screenshots or do not have all the information required.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
It is really hard to give step by step but I will give you ideas, where to look for and what to learn, to achieve your goals.
Here is the step by step:
1. To have a tab on top level navigation, you should Create a Role and assign it to user.
As a new bee, read this, how to create a role and assign it to users: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/4f/bceaffeb8c114ebef8255b63079c7c/frameset.htm
Once the role is ready create a page in it and edit the page properties and set Entry Point property to true.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/9e/7d9713087311d7b84600047582c9f7/frameset.htm
Result: Now, after logout and login, you should see the new tab on your top level navigation.
2. Showing News Items:
Here you should create a KM Navigation IView and hang it on the page you previously created in step 1.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/b6/29892e91601940bb7a2cd673a1dff5/frameset.htm
Create in your KM a folder where you want to place your news items.
Edit properties of KM Navigation IView and set the property StartUri to KM folder you created.
3. Now create news items using the XMLForms, there should be a news form already available on your system.
Place the news items in the KM Folder you created.
Now when you navigate to your newly created tab, it should show you the news...

Why "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in xsllistview link to different form

Hi all,
I have a question. I have a list with two new forms, one is created in SPD the other one is created in InfoPath (both forms are created by developer).
I don't know why the new form link to different page when I click "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in list view.
1. Will open new form that created in InfoPath when click on "New Item" in ribbon.
2. Will open new form that created in SPD when click on "Add new item" in list view.

One way to do this would be to hold the urls for the pages you need to display in a table. You could then build the links as one of the columns of a report using some fancy SQL. 
 
Or you could make a simple function to return the correct link based on the relevant parameters: 
 
create or replace function get_url (p_criteria in varchar2) return varchar2 
is 
lv_url varchar2(500); 
begin 
if p_criteria = 'Personal' then 
lv_url := 'http://host:port/pls/portal/etc...'; 
end if; 
etc... 
return '&LT;a href="' || lv_url || '"&GT;' || p_criteria || '&LT;/a&GT;'; 
end; 
 
Your report could then include the function as one of the columns in your report. 
Not very elegant but it should do the job.

Problems in creating and storing new documents using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2

Hi experts,
I'm getting problems in creating and storing new documents using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2.
I have a scenario where is defined the document type ZC1, document part 200, authorization group 0002 and for all of these documents the storage category "Cofre DMS1". And the status which demands the storage category is 'FR'.
I've been fullfiling the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 in this way:

Dynamically create and remove TEXT items in forms

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to dynamically create and remove TEXT items in form. For example I have the EMP and DEPT table and when
I select the EMP table name from the LOV, rows of the EMP table with column name and data should get displayed on the screen and likewise a similar action for DEPT table and
so on. I have about 90 tables from where data could be required to view and edit. They all have varying number of columns.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

Region is not created and also the item is not added.. Help me

Hi to all,
I want to create a region dynamically(in the sense using code). The following code is used but the thing is the region is not created and the item also not created. Using the object of the item, i set the prompt , this is also not working. Suppose this code is wrong let me know how to create regin and under this region an item.
the code is:
OAMessageComponentLayoutBean msgcmpntbean = (OAMessageComponentLayoutBean)createWebBean(pageContext,MESSAGE_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_BEAN);
OAMessageStyledTextBean msgstyledbean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)pageContext.getWebBeanFactory().createWebBean(pageContext,MESSAGE_STYLED_TEXT_BEAN,OAWebBeanConstants.VARCHAR2_DATATYPE,"Login");
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(msgcmpntbean);
msgcmpntbean.setRows(1);
msgcmpntbean.setColumns(3);
msgstyledbean.setPrompt("Login User : ");
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
you have created messagecomponentlayout and messageStyled text but you have not added messagestyled text as indexed child in messageComponentlayout....
Try this:
OAMessageComponentLayoutBean msgcmpntbean = (OAMessageComponentLayoutBean)createWebBean(pageContext,MESSAGE_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_BEAN);
OAMessageStyledTextBean msgstyledbean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)pageContext.getWebBeanFactory().createWebBean(pageContext,MESSAGE_STYLED_TEXT_BEAN,OAWebBeanConstants.VARCHAR2_DATATYPE,"Login");
msgcmpntbean.addIndexedChild(msgstyledbean);
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(msgcmpntbean);
msgcmpntbean.setRows(1);
msgcmpntbean.setColumns(3);
msgstyledbean.setPrompt("Login User : ");
Thanks,

Create and Apply new connection pool failure

Hi all,
I am trying to creat a new connection pool by the examples Console with WebServer
6.0
Name: testingPool
URL: jdbc:cloudscape:demo or jdbc:dbc:cloudscape:Test (where Test is a new DB
in cloudscape)
Driver Name:COM.cloudscape.core.JDBCDriver
Property:
user=none
password=none
server=none
Then create a Datasource which using the new created testingPool and the Target
is the "exampleServer"
However when I start the server,it keeps on complaining that the "testingPool
is not exist".
Any setting that I 've missed when using a new connection pool??
I only know the workaround is using the demoPool which is already exist in the
example.
Any help will be very appreciate!!
Thanks !

HI,
I've already set the Target Server to be the Example Server,
is it wrong?

Create and assign new user in SRM org struct when HR Distribution is active

Hello experts,
In SRM HR Distribution list is active.
Now requirement is we want to create new user in SRM and assign it with the SRM Org structure.
1.)Do i need to create a user in SRM and in ECC HR i mean in both the system or in ECC-HR only.?
2.)When user is there in ECC-HR system then how i can assign user to SRM Org structure. Is there any FM or Standarrd Program ?
Thanks!!
Sunny

Hello Sunny,
As you mentioned HR distribution is active hence you need to create the user in ECC environment and assign it to the org. structure in ECC.
Again there would be few user which you would create in SRM evironment and those would be administator specific.
Activating pointers for HRMD_ABA message allows to replicate all changes made to the organizational structure in HR to SRM.
Changes in HR structure include modifications (add/modify/delete) in the following:
u2022 Organizations
u2022 Jobs
u2022 Positions
u2022 Employees
A change in the relationship of any of the elements above will also be replicated to SRM. For instance, an employee changing units will be reflected in SRM.
Pre-requisite: SU01D ID should exist prior to replicating the concerned user in SRM.
Thanks,
Yatin

Question about creating and updating new columns in a table

Hi, I have a couple of questions that would love some answers to
Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
1) How do you create new columns in a big table
2) how do you update the new columns
3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
my aswers to these would be
1) simple alter table ...
2) simple update statements
3) No need to create an index
I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
cheers
css_jay99

If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).

Create and name new worksheets in existing excel spreadsheet

Hello-
I am running LabVIEW 6i and excel2000. I need to write data acquired in LabVIEW to new worksheets of an already existing excel spreadsheet, and also name these new worksheets. I have been able to create the new worksheets but haven't yet figured out how to name them. I'm new to activeX and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Paul,
Programming using ActiveX can be tricky, especially knowing just what kind of datatypes the different methods and properties are expecting. There are 2 ways I would recommend for users to find out about ActiveX parameters:
1. Right-click and choose Help for the specific property/method.
When you have a method or property selected on the Property or Invoke Node, you can right-click and there will be 2 help options--one for the generic Property Node or Invoke Node, the other for the specific method or property that is selected in the node itself. If you select the help for the specific property/method, a Microsoft Visual Basic Reference Help should appear that will provide you with explanations and examples of the datatypes that method/property is expecting given the object that is in use.
2. Go to the MSDN Library >> Excel Object Model
This has an overview of Microsoft's Excel Object Model and will also show you how to use Microsoft's Excel Object Model.
Keep in mind that because ActiveX can be tricky, NI also offers the Report Generation Toolkit to make programming to Word and Excel much easier! Nice tutorials and examples are provided too.

Creating and compiling new timezone

Hi everyone,
I have a liitle problem here with the timezone compilation (using "zic") and two questions.
I live in Uruguay (GMT -3). This year, the authorities decided that we will have DST, going one hour forward the first sunday of october and 1 hour backward the second sunday of march.
So, here goes the firs one:
How do I report the new timezone with the DST changes to MAC OSX developers (or someone) so they made an update for the Montevideo - Urugay timezone ??
And now the second:
... Meanwhile, I tryed to compile the new timezone myself, so I did this:
I've made the timezone archive like this:
#Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
Rule Uruguay 2006 maximum - Oct Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D
Rule Uruguay 2006 maximum - Mar Sun>=8 2:00 0:00 -
#Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone America/Montevideo -3:00 Uruguay UY%sT
Then, I've compiled it using zic...
Ok, so the timezone for Montevideo - Uruguay seems to be correct now (executing the "date" command)... but when I look at the clock at the top of the screen, it appears to be one our late... but that's not all... there's more:
If I look at the analog clock in the "set date & time" preferences, it's ok, with the new timezone and the correct time... but the digital one (that apears over the analog) is one our late too.
There's even more: If I open the iCal... the scheddules remain ok, at the correct time... but the labels on each scheddule are one our late...
Am I doing somethig wrong with the zic and timezone?
Is the digital clock reading the time from another archive rather than the regular timezone archive?
Thanks in advance !!

I've the same problem. I'm in Montevideo, Uruguay too and created my own Timezone file (http://warpzone.homeip.net/Uruguay.txt) based on a old timezone file I had.
The problem is the same as related here, the clock at the menu bar has the time without the daylight savings applied. If I select the clock outside the bar (in window mode) it works fine BUT the "24-hour mode clock" does not work.. it still shows the time in 12-hour format.
If I type "date" in Terminal, I get the correct time and timezone.
Any ideas?

Creating and using new Document Series in SAP B1- URGENT

"I want to use two different series in the same period in SAP B1 other than the default series. But whenever I am trying to do it i am unable to use both the series and at one time. Only one series is accesible even if I use the option "set default series for certain users."
Further elaboration - I handle retailers and wholesellers in my business process.I want to use two series Retail and Wholesale for the two different classes whenever I make an Invoice. So that the class of the document is seperated by the series.

Debraj,
In Admin - System initialisation - Document Numbering go to relate series document and choose A/R Invoice by double clicking it. Now the Series A/R Invoice will open. In that window click on new. It will go into Numbering series set up. Here go the the particular row in the first column give the series name as Wholesale and enter the first no.and the last no.and give the period indicator as default. Now right click on that row and addnew row you will be taken to the next row where in again you can name a series and the last and the first no.
Hope this answers your question.
Nagesh.
