Creating new fields - But whats the package?

I'm new to CRM 7.0 and SAP CRM in general. Just trying to do something very basic - Adding CUstom Fields using the web CRM tool (AET)..
I read this article by Tzanko Stefanov who is a product manager for SAP: /people/tzanko.stefanov2/blog/2008/11/18/application-enhancement-tool-creating-and-reusing-custom-fields-with-crm-70-part-1-of-2
In this blog he explains how to create a custom field and reuse it. The issue is he skips a step that I am just not understanding. If you look at the screen shots he posts one of the first screen shots shows a package: "Z_EXTENSIBILITY_800". I am not sure how or where this package is created. Do I need to define this in my ERP system somewhere and then use it in the CRM? My question is how to define a package and where to define it?
In my case when I try to create a custom field it is asking for a "package" but I don't know which package to use or whether or not to create a new package?
Can anyone help with this please.
THanks

Ok as I understand it the package then asks for a transport request number?
So lets say I create a package Z_CRM_CUSTOMIZATIONS.
Then when I go into the CRM 7.0 AEI (Application Enhancement Tool) to add new fields I can use this as a package?
Once i am done I can transport the entire package from Test client to production is that how it works? Can you give me any reference on how to perform the package transfer? Would I be using STMS like our ERP system ?
Or is there a different process ?

Create new mailboxes but where the heck are they?

I am so frustrated I want to switch back to Windows. I am using the new mail feature of Lion and everytime I create a new mailbox, it tells me it's going to create the mailbox in "on my mac" location. But where the heck is this location? Why can't the folder or the mailbox just be created in the right pane of mail. Why do have bury my mailbox I created in some multilayer almagom simply because they don't want me to work in the way I am use to. Stop being so Big Brother Apple, this really really is awful.

OK I solved this myself as I found that it was hidden in the new mail and I just had to switch it show

How to create new field while upgrading from CRM 4.0 to 7.0

Hi ,
How do we create new field on UI and store data into existing field in database?
Is there any option in AET to skip the creation of new field in the database table ?
Custom field is already created in GUI and database table while using CRM 4.0
Now, after upgrading to 7.0 EHP3 , I need to bring this field on the UI .
Using AET may create new field again in the database table.Please suggest.
New filed needed to be created in Marketing Campaign Element Header data.
Thanks
Jayasri

Hi Jayasri,
As a custom fields are already there in crm 4.0. You don't need to use AET again to add field.
These enhancements still exist after the upgrade. Dependent on the enhancement object and type some manual steps are necessary.
For example regarding a single field enhancement for the BP the whole framework is enhanced after the upgrade. There is only one manual step to bring the field on the relevant view(s) via the UI Configuration Tool. For whole BP tables some more manual steps are necessary, these steps are described in the note 1069791 - CRM WebClient UI for EEW enhancements (reference to more notes regarding the EEW after the upgrade).
For set types, we need to generate UI With the help of the UI configuration tool the settypes could become visible in the Web UI.
I didn't understood your scenario, can add little more information why you want to add field by AET if available in DB?

When I try to open Lightroom5 (creative cloud) I am taken to the Select Catalog screen but I have no catalogs and I am not being allowed to create new ones. What can I do?

When I try to open Lightroom5 (creative cloud) I am taken to the Select Catalog screen but I have no catalogs and I am not being allowed to create new ones. What can I do to correct this?

This could be a read/write permissions issue with the destination folder for the catalog. Use your favorite search engine to search for changing disk permissions. What operating system are you using?

Create New Field - Package is null and non editable

7.0 when choosing the Create New Field in the UI, I get a window where the Package is empty and I can not edit it, the Namespace contains a Z and is not editable.
I select ORDERADM_I but when I select OK I get the message the Package is Required.
I am guessing I need to do something in EEWB? but not quite sure. I did find any other forum questions with this issue.

Hi,
I assumed you are using Application Enhancement Tool.
The prerequesite to use Application Enhancement Tool is you have to maintain the system settings in transaction AXTSYS.
Here you can define a default value, which will be displayed in WebUI.

HT5622 my i tunes id is not working......i try to create new id but it requires my visa card info....what should i do

my i tunes id is not working......i try to create new id but it requires my visa card info....what should i do. how can i get my precious id or how can i create new id without giving visa information. i tried but there is no none option in visa card part

What do you mean by 'my iTunes id is not working' ? Of you mean that it's disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS deviced by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If you mean something else ... ?
In terms of creating a new account, there are instructions on this page for how to create one without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - the instructions won't work with existing accounts, and any content that you bought/downloaded with your existing acocunt will remain tied to that existing account.

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather according the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part? (I do have the setting for creating new emails from the highlighted mailbox checked.)

The questions about time was not only because of thinking about the Time Machine, but also possible impact on recognizing which messages remaining on a POP server (doesn't apply to IMAP) have been already downloaded. In the Mail folder, at its root level, in Mail 3.x there is a file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 that should prevent duplicate downloading -- some servers may not communicate the best with respect to that, and the universal index must certainly be involved in updating that index file. If it corrupts, it can inhibit proper downloading. However, setting the account up in a New User Account and having the same problem does not point that way, unless your POP3 server is very different from most.
That universal index is also typically involved when messages are meant to be moved from the Inbox to another mailbox -- in Mail 3.x the message does not move, but rather is copied, and then erased from the origin mailbox. That requires updating the Envelope Index to keep track of where the message is, and should keep track of where it is supposed to have been removed after the "Move".

Re: i tried updating my iphone to a new verison but after the update the phone is not restarting, just the apple sign is showing up on the screen. what is the problem?
I have tried the above fix and iTunes crashes giving error 27 after trying to load the iPhone firmware.
I have booted my phone in DFU mode and this has made no difference.
My mac is up to date.
My iTunes is up to date.
All i tried to do was update my ios as i have been unable to make calls or send text's all day.
Do you have any other suggestions as my phone is no good to me now.
Many thanks,

Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Problem in creating new field using AET

Hi ,
We are facing a problem while creating a new field using AET.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414900)ID0190611650DB01471683520393954021End?blog=/pub/wlg/12716]
Im following this blog while creating the new field using AET.
After filling all the field details and trying to create a Transport request its going for a runtime error.
The error is happening in class CL_CRM_GENIL_AXT_API
method get_editable_properties.
data lr_field_ext type ref to cl_genil_field_extension.
field-symbols <axt_field_extension> type gtype_field_extension.
data lr_fieldext_ref type ref to if_axt_field_ext_access.
read table axt_field_extension_tab assigning <axt_field_extension> with key ext_bo       = is_key-ext_bo
                                                                          ext_bo_part = is_key-ext_bo_part
                                                                          extension_id = is_key-extension_id.
lr_field_ext = <axt_field_extension>-axt_extension.
if sy-subrc = 0.
While Debugging we can see that the table axt_field_extension_tab is having zero values during the last execution.
But the Zfield is getting generated and the status is in green.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sijo.

Hi,
you posted the same question again in a later post.
Here is my answer:
Hi,
the reason that AET does not work is because there is/are missing entries in one of DB table.
Namely the enhance BO assignment to the UI Object Type.
Could you please tell me, what is the UI Object Type in you current IC application.
In order to figure this out, you can put mouse cursor in one of the field in the UI and then press F2.
Then you can go to SM30 in SAP GUI open the View BSPDLCV_OBJ_TYPE and search for the UI object type.
Select the UI object type and see whether any enhanced BO is defined.
In your case it should be empty, otherwise you can use AET in IC.
And if it is empty we need to figure out which enhanced BO is relevant for the given UI Object Type.
Regards,
Steve
P.S. But still you can raise a CSN message.
The "Create New Field" should be in active mode.

Create new field in Self Service page - How??

Hello all
This may be easy but i am not sure if it can be done.
In the Learning Management module I wanted to add a new field ('age', from the person table). Either as an additional search criteria for the Learning Administrator when looking for learners to enroll or as additional info on a learner.
As this field is not in any of the relevant pages, i was thinking i might be able to utilize DFFs (if this functionality is available in the page to render).
Am i on the right track? is there a better way? I would like to avoid any customizing if possible..
I greatly appreciate any experience/advice on this problem
Thanks

Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide Release 11i (11.5.10) (Metalink Note 269138.1) can be referred for the OAF readings. Check in particular the sections on personalization and extension.
Through personalization, you can only change the look and feel, reorder the items, create some new fields. but to get the new data you have got to extend the BC4J package.
But again if you are talking of adding this new AGE field to a search region, depending upon your search region style, you might have to make changes to search region also.
I will also suggest you to go through the threads which talk of extensions.

I have an error when creating new folders, it renames the folder below it to the same name (super - next folder - parent's next sibling...)

if I try to add a new folder to a sub folder, the program does add the new bookmark folder, but it also renames the next folder in line in the parent of the original "subfolder" to the exact same name...
maybe I just need to reload the mozilla, maybe I was hacked and that is what they changed...
I also have a similar problem with microsoft explorer, every time I try to add a new folder it gives it a starting wierd name besides "New Folder"
