Creating Software Dependencies

Hi All,
I have a small doubt. In SLD we have option of creating dependancy between Software component. While creating that we need to specify either its Installation time/ Build time dependancy, can anyone please comment on what is the difference between Installation time and Build time.
Best Regards,
Raj.

hi,
have a look at my weblog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/08/26/xi-are-you-independentfrom-your-dependencies
BuildTime are probably only used by SAP
so use Installation Time
Regards,
michal

Creating SC dependencies result in null pointer exception

Hi
I have installed JDI landscape and am nearly finished but I encounter a null pointer exception when I tried to adjust dependencies for my newly created SC and as a result I cannot create a track (no SCs could be added to it).
The exception is as follows:

Hi,
Did you create Product/Software Components in SLD? And did you define dependencies(the three standard SAP SCs) for the SC in SLD? Did you update CMS after you've created SCs/dependencies in SLD?
Thanks,

Is anyone else trying to use Edge Animation to create software simulations?

We're in the process of evaluating Edge Animate to create software simulations. We want to use it because it has many great HTML5 functions. We're also evaluating Captivate7 - which also has an HTML5 option - but it lacks some of the functionality we're looking for. Like the ability to show users a 'hint' when they hover their cursor over an object. Why that functionality isn't there already - I still can't figure out. It would be create if Adobe could take some of the functionality in Edge Animate and incorporate it into Captivate! It would make an awesome product!
If you're attempted or were successful creating a software simulation using Edge Animate - I would be interested in hearing how you accomplished it. Also looking for some best practices around this idea.
I think Edge Animate would be an amazing product for software simulation if it incorporates a few enhancements.
In the timeline - allow the user to nest things. The timeline can get unwieldy quickly. Would be nice to be able to nest items and then twirl the nested items to hid them - like in AE.
Enable AE functionality with the ability to play one Edge Animate piece inside another.
Provide the ability to add video with transparent backgrounds. We wanted to have someone walk on screen and appear as if they were walking on the software. Can't do it in Edge Animate!
If you have any other ideas or suggestions for creating software simulations in Edge Animate - would be great to hear from the community

Hi there,
Thanks for your suggestions! We're looking at ways to make the timeline more flexible as far as nesting and/or hiding elements, so hopefully these types of improvements will come as Animate continues to grow. Just wanted to quickly pop in to address a few of your bullet points - hopefully, other Animate users can answer regarding whether they use Animate for software simulation.
Your first two points (I think) can be at least somewhat addressed by using symbols. Each symbol has its own timeline which can contain many elements, but it will appear as a single element in the main (Stage) timeline.
Regarding video, there's currently only one HTML5 browser that natively supports video with alpha transparency: Chrome, using video encoded to the webm format. See here for more info: Alpha transparency in Chrome video - HTML5Rocks Updates
Once other browsers start incorporating native support for video with transparency, this could be pretty cool. But as of now, native browser support is still quite limited.
Thanks,
Joe

Using logical operators when creating software groups

Is there a way to use simple logical operators when using filters for creating software groups?
An example of what I want to do is to select all updates for the past month - but not include Definition Updates for instance. So all update classifications but NOT definition updates.

The '-' trick only works for ADRs to my knowledge.
For searching within the console, anytime you add criteria for the same attribute, it always adds it with an OR. This is a known design shortfall.
For your question specifically though, you need to reverse your thinking and instead of being exclusive, think inclusively. Thus, you can add an attribute multiple times to the search criteria by selecting and adding it multiple times -- once for each
classification that's not definition updates. Then, save the search as pointed out by Torsten.

Problems creating software components in SLD

Hi,
I am using NW2004s SP06.
While configuring NWDI, I was defining Product and Software components in the SLD.
1) I am unable to create products for SAP Systems in the catalog. Whenever I select a new product the message always says new product for non-SAP system.
2) I am unable to create software components for products for non SAP systems. Whenever I try adding new software components I get an error on the production state
Value not allowed by VALUEMAP for property SAP_SoftwareComponent.ProductionState:Released
This is the same error when I choose all the listed Production states: (Eg: Planned, Developed etc)
Please help

Forgot to add..
Application Server-Java (J2EE engine), DI, SLD etc are all on a single machine..

SCCM 2012 R2 -CU3 fails at 'Create Software Update Catalog'

Hi
I am trying to upgrade SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 to CU3 (skipping CU2) but the upgrade fails in the middle with following message in the log
Task 'Create Software Update Catalog' completed, state is 'failed' ExceptionText: Error: Setup detected an unexpected problem during installation. Error message: A valid file name is required.
Parameter name: fileName
I have checked following article but it does not fixed mine.

Already uninstalled CU3 and reinstalled it with no luck so I was wondering anyone has any ideas as what might be causing it?
Thanks

** RESOLVED **
After attempting several times and uninstalling when it failed, finally it got installed successfully.
Since I was skipping CU2 so I thought to install that as well before installing CU3. However, the CU2 also failed at Admin Console update. Re started installing CU3 but this time I choose not to create deployment packages for client, server and console.
Not sure if that fixed it or CU2 but I am glad its over now. After installing CU3 successfully, ran the installer again to create all required deployment packages for console, client and server.
All looks good now.

Unable to create software component version

Hello All,
I am unable to create software components for products for non SAP systems. Whenever I try adding new software components I get an error on the production state
Value not allowed by VALUEMAP for property SAP_SoftwareComponent.ProductionState:Released
I tried with all the production states.
Any ideas? I am using NW2004S SP7.

Hi,
I had the same problem reg. SLD used in my SAP XI system (a NetWeaver component).
You should upgrade your Java part of the application to Service Pack-SP (at least) 5. I found more information in the SAP Marketplace:
https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/upgrade
https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/sp-stacks
and the Support Package Guides:
https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/instguides (under SAP Netweaver -> Realease 2004s -> Maintenance)
These links could be also helpful to you.

Create software update group that only contains post service pack hotfixes?

I'm creating software update groups for server and workstation OS. Is there a way to exclude pre-service pack updates from an update group (or even the search itself)? Example: all of our machines already have Windows 7 SP1 installed, therefore
I don't need to include any updates that were included in SP1. I know only required updates will be installed, but I'd rather not waste disk space downloading ones I don't need. Thx

The console shows you how many devices in your hierarchy require a given update. If you don't want to see updates that are not required by any devices, select Add Criteria > Required > Greater or Equal to 1 > Search. This assumes that the Software
Updates Evaluation cycle is run on the devices...
If you apply SP1 to all devices, the individual updates (pre-SP1), should not be required by the devices (they may even become superseded by SP1 - depends)... The count of Required in the console should be 0...
I know this is not the exact answer you're looking for, but it's easy...

Creating software music in Soundtrack Pro..."musical typing"

Hello, all-
I just started using Final Cut Studio yesterday for a movie that I'm making with some friends. I'm doing the musical score, so I'm working a lot with Soundtrack pro. I just switched from using Garage Band, so it's a totally different world! =) In Gband, I'm used to creating software music...as in, typing in the notes, or "musical typing." I haven't found a way to do that in Soundtrack...is there a way? I know there are the loops, but I haven't figured out how to create my own music without recording a real instrument.
So basically, my question is, can you create a software instrument and do "musical typing" in Soundtrack?
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Nope, simply put, STP is audio rec. only, no MIDI[software inst.] Look up MIDI in the STP reference guide to see what you can do.
There is a way of syncing with MIDI inst.-you may be able to import individual recorded tracks this way from GB, by using an option that should appear as an output in GB called Soundtrack Pro Sync Source when both programs are running. You can automate controls over STP this way; typing notes will likely only yield one source of output.
When you play back the notes and have STP running a multi-trk file with a track rec. enabled then STP will record the real time playback on the software inst. track. That's how you can record MIDI data in STP, but i can't say for sure GB can do that...

Can't see created Software Component in CMS

Hi
I have created a software component in the SLD (NW 2004s SP2). Now i want to develop it. But when i try to add this software component to my track in the CMS, i can't find it. I suggested in an another forum post, i try to push the "refresh" button in the CMS but it doesn't help.
Thx 4 help

Hello Marc
...its very strange. Now i have the same problem as before. I think i solved it, but i'm wrong.
There is a button labeled "synchronize dependencies", but no solution for my problem. I have create 2 software components in the SLD. One without any dependencies and one with 3 other software components dependencies. I made two tracks in the CMS and import them into my NWDS. Then i remember, that my defined dependencies are wrong. So i delete both tracks in the CMS. In the SLD i decide to delete one software component and edit the other one. I add my needed software components in the SLD to my custom software component. Now i create a tack again and want to add my custom software component, BUT there are shown both old software components in the table, where i can select/search my custom component. If i press the "synchronize dependencies"-button, nothing happened.

88 Software Dependencies Imported Into CMS Track

We are experiencing problems when associating SCs to a Track in the CMS. When any of the SCs are selected, it shows a total of 88 dependencies when only 3 are defined in the SLD (SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT & SAP_JTECHS).
The "Update CMS" action to pull in the SLD changes does not fix it and communication between the SLD & CMS appears to be fine. As well, this was working but just recently began acting this way.
Has anyone experienced this, know what would cause the inconsistencies, and/or know how to fix it?
We are unable to create new Tracks due to this, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Lane

We've been working with someone at SAP America to track down the problems and find a solution. From our research it appears this is related to either an incorrect CIM import or manual assignment of usage dependencies for the 3 primary software components mentioned earlier.
We are in process of either re-importing the CIM for the current patch level of the SLD and/or manually removing the dependencies from the SCs. I will update after this is complete and we have the results.
Pascal, thanks for posting interest in this message.

Applications software dependencies and using packages

I'm preparing a software application deployment (EMET v5) but the documentation requires a package to be created for several files/settings to be configured. Is it possible to create a package dependency for an application deployment? At present,
I only see the option to add other available Applications as dependencies.
Thanks

Hi,
No it's not possible.
If you are going the package route you could use the advanced tab of the program to run another program first.
Add both parts of the application as a package.
Don't tick the box "always run this program first" unless you want it to run regardless of it already being installed.
Or you ditch the package and use an application deployment for both.
