Cubes screensaver

Hey everyone. Before a major hardware failure (involving the loss of all data) I had a screensaver called "Cubes" which simply involved multicoloured wire-frame cubes spinning and twisting around the screen in circular/vortex patterns. I've managed to find various pages (ZDNet, Download.com) with links to downloading it but the links are actually broken. I've looked in the Screensavers section of Mac OS X downloads and I can't find it. I was wondering if anyone knows where to now get this screensaver, or if you have it yourself I'd be greatful if you could e-mail it to me.
Many thanks

OK...that link may not work. Try this one. Make sure to type "cube" in the search box.

10.6.4 complete system freeze when resuming from screensaver-VMWare Fusion

I have a Macbook Pro, 3,1. I just upgraded to 10.6.4 and noticed the following symptoms:
Shortly after launching VMWare Fusion 3.1 running a Windows XP VM (from a Bootcamp partition), a series of pop up messages were complaining about a bad OpenGL driver. The message popped up repeatedly and wouldn't let me out, even though I kept pressing "Ok". I had to force quit Fusion, which caused a chkdsk on relaunch of the XP VM.
After a complete reboot, I started VMWare again. The Fusion complaints haven't shown up again, but when resuming from the screensaver, the system either completely freezes up, or the screen login window starts to flash rapidly and seize up. I'm running Spaces with 6 virtual screens. Whether I'm in the Fusion Spaces screen or any other Spaces screen, the system freaks out when resuming from a screensaver.
I use this system at work, so I have to be able to lock my screen when I leave my cube. The only way I've been able to ensure the system doesn't freeze up and cause a hard reset of the XP VM is to completely disable the screensaver and power saver features, such as Start Screen Saver = Never, Computer Sleep = Never, Display Sleep = Never and launch the login window by clicking on my user name in the upper right corner of the screen on the menu bar. Even that causes a sluggish screen and I'm not confident it will keep working. I also made sure (from day one) that the Windows XP screensaver functions were all completely disabled. I prefer to use the OS X screensaver for everything, if for no other reason than having a single screen locking/unlocking point for when I step away.
This was all working properly in 10.6.3. The only nit-nat I noticed about Fusion in 10.6.3 was that it had to be launched in the "Primary Window", which seems to be the upper leftmost Spaces desktop. If I ever moved it to, or started in any other Spaces desktop, it would also exhibit the same random lockups. Keeping it in the "primary" space seems to have stopped the lockups.
I noticed that there seemed to be significant updates to the OpenGL drivers in 10.6.4. I am experiencing an unfortunate side effect of these updates and hope I'm not alone and that a fix is coming soon. Looking at the other posts, there seem to be a lot of similar problems. I wanted to describe my configuration in case the Apple dev team reads these posts. Thanks.

I ended up doing an erase and fresh install of Snow Leopard (10.6.0), upgraded to 10.6.4 with the combo update, then a fresh install of all my apps, including VMware 3.1. Everything has been solid for 2 days now. I'm guessing that my system had a magic combination of issues that weren't visible in 10.6.3 but became obvious only after upgrading to 10.6.4. I had been upgrading my OS since 10.5.0 over the last 2 years and needed to do a clean re-install for some time now.
I'm guessing that others who are noticing problems with the 10.6.4 update have a similar situation with their installations. Think back on all the times a software installation failed, or the system required a hard boot. Plus, I had a lot of 3rd party apps on my box that never posted updates for later Snow Leopard releases, so who knows? Anyway, it's good to have a clean and snappy system again. A lot of my apps launch a lot faster now and survive the screen saver and power saver modes just fine.

Screensaver problems

Hello Forum,
It pains me to write this, but am having problems displaying my custom screen saver. My screens resolution is 1280x1024, and my art board exports at that size, am exporting at 72 p/inch s well, and although it displays perfectly when used as a background when I use the same image as a screen saver it becomes pixelated and somehow blurry. Tried adjusting a million things but I think I'm missing something? Can anyone offer any advice?
By the way I am using an old cube with OSX 10.4.11 if that helps
Thanks in advance,
chichi

When I download and do minor edits (as rotations, mostly; a few
re-sized for posting via email, very few for posting to web pages)
of images from either of my digital cameras, they go into a date
structured folder based on the date of image capture.
This folder and any additional folders of edited images that I keep
in the computer are available for me to point the Screensaver and
Desktop system preference panel to use as a source. Never fails.
Are you writing a new ScreenSaver module of your own, to run
your images as a screen saver via the System Preference panel?
If so, there are rules that differ between most upgrade versions of
Mac OS X; as time goes on and changes in them occurred. See:
http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000088.php to build one.
• Mac 101: Change your screen saver (or make your own)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2485
The 'screensaver' use of images is different than 'desktop' images.
A higher resolution should not matter too much, if the image does
cover the screen in both situations, as screen saver & also desktop.
The effect of using the same image as 'wall-paper' vs. using it as a
full-screen screensaver (where images can fade from one to next,
like a slideshow effect) may appear differently, between these two.
(How a folder of images, destined to be used as 'screensavers' to
run like the defaults, in a movie-like mode, is created will make a
difference in factors such as resolution, esp between images in it.
I prefer to not make 'screen savers' per-se and use images as
desktop and folder backgrounds instead. Takes less time.)
And this is a default system choice, to select a folder of images.
So, if this fails to work and you do not use iPhoto (I do not, either)
then there may be a problem with how the images were edited - or
the software you used leaves a proprietary mark on the image files.
For images I've decided to have appear in my Mac as desktop images
they go into a file named something like 'misc desktop images' and I
can add or remove those few, sort of a default choice. Otherwise, my
choice for desktop and folder background images can range up to a
few thousand images taken with my old Nikon D70 DSLR, & Panasonic.
And from any dated folder of either camera's derived image content.
Have you tried using another image editor, and have it load the images
into a new-named folder, after minor corrections, to see if the Mac's OS
can handle the file correctly? For minor edits, I use a freeware in Tiger
10.4.11, it can do more than I need; it is ToyViewer 5.0. Works well &
it does not leave any proprietary marks on the resulting images.
So, you may have an issue. Have you tried other folder names, instead
of 'screensaver' to see if a new folder, and correct user access to that,
makes a difference? If you have user account permission or privilege
issues with a folder you create and place in the Hard disk drive, you may
be able to change them via Get Info & look into Ownership & Permissions.
{Not sure if there are any system default folders already named
SCREENSAVER but I am sure to not name anything of mine
similar to a system-generated folder.}
There are different ways of using the file hierarchy of the user account, as
well as those in the system; the image quality should not change due to
location of the single image, but how it was edited or handled via software
may be related to the problem in this instance.
When did this issue first start happening? Was there an update or software
added to the system, just prior to this problem's appearance in the computer?
Does a second user account (given admin access and its own image folder)
also make odd or lower than expected resolution of images? It should not,
unless the image issue is related to third-party software editing that some how
isn't correct.
Anyway, I have to be offline and +take someone who can't drive+ shopping.
That can take anywhere from two hours to two days. So much for coupons.
And being told how to drive, shortcuts, and risks to take, is part & parcel of
the journey's path. In poor conditions among amateur-class drivers.
Good luck & happy computing!

ITunes Screensaver Not Working

Hi
I cannot get the iTunes Screensaver to work.
It will not appear in the list of options in the System Preferences for screensaver.
The saver files is def there in HD>System>Library>Screensavers.
My iTunes Music Folder is stored on an external HD, and the files "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" are stored in Home>Music>iTunes as suggested by Apple.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks for the help.
Rob

Thank you.
You are absolutely right - the cube video card doesnt support Core Image so the itunes and RSS screensavers are disabled.
Seems there is not a work around other than some serious hacking of the graphic card which I am going no-where near!
Thanks for the help.

Fields in DSO & Cube

Hi experts,
I have the field 0fiscyear in my dso and also in the cube. But
when creating transformation the field 0fiscyear is present in
the dso but not in the cube. So that i am unable to create
transformation for 0fiscyear.Anyone please explain me what
should i do to make the field visible in the cube.
And one more question. How can we select or hide the fields
of 0fi_ar_3.This data source is not visible in LBWE.
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,
V N.

Hi VN,
Goto SBIW->Application Specific>Logistics>manage extract struvctures>initialization->appl specific setup of statistical dat -->select inventory mangement perform setup>
in the select materil movement/Setup: Invoice Verification, Revaluation as per your choice to load.
direct transaction OLI1BW for material movement
OLIZBW for invoice verification
once you gets into statistical setup give name of the run and termination time and date to setup then gofor excution
once setup tables start loading gotoRSA3 which is extrac chekor to chk u r datasource data
before all this make sure your data source as active.
i hope this is clear na

Can not find master data in the cube

ItemNo is an navigation attribute of 0Material. We are using 0material in a cube. When I display the cube data include ItemNo, I don't find the data I am looking for. For example:
In 0Material:
0Material      ItemNo    Description
AAA                001           Test
BBB                002           Test
In the cube I expect to see:
0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
AAA                      001                      1000
BBB                      002                       2000
Instead I saw:
0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
AAA                                                1000
BBB                                                2000
0Material got refreshed after cube data got loaded. Is that why I don't find the refreshed Master data?
Thank you!

Hi,
When you laod the cube, the Values for Master are automatically get created in the master data (If they are not present earlier and with "Data Update Type in the Data Tragets" setting in InfoPackage).
Now when you are loading your cube with 0Material and Item Number, the values for Item Number seems blank. Thats the reason why you are not able to see the Item Number in Cube though it is present in Master. Because now these are two different keys, one with Item Number value and other without Item Number value.

Yogesh.

Index's on cubes or Aggregates on infoobjects

Hello,
Please tell me if it is possible to put index's on cubes; are they automatically added or is this something I put on them?
I do not understand index's are they like aggregates?
Need to find info that explains this.
Thanks for the hlep.
Newbie

Indexes are quite different from aggregates.
An Aggregate is a slice of a cube which helps the data retrival on a faster note when a query is executed on a cube. Basically it is kind of a snapshot of KPI's and Business Indicators (Chars) which will be displayed as the initial query run result.
Index is a process which is inturn will reduce the query response time. While an object gets activated, the system automatically create primary indexes. Optionaly, you can create additional index called secondary indexes.Before loading data, it is advisable to delete the indexes and insert them back after the loading.
Indexes act like pointers for quickly geting the Data.When u delete it will delete indexes and when u create it will create the indexes.
When loading we delete Bcs during loading it has to look for existing Indexes and try to update so it will effect the Data load performence so we delete and create it will take less time when compared to updating the existing ones.
There is one more issue we have to take care if u r having more than 50 million records this is not a good practice insteah we can delete and create during week end when they r no users.

Material type not getting displayed in the cube........

Hi,
In my infocube material type for one of the material is not getting displayed.
When I check in the content of the cube for this material all the fileds are getting displayed except material type.
However it is present in the material master data from which it is put into the update rules to populate in the cube.
Its getting displayed for some other materials , so we cant say that mapping is wrong or problem with update rules.
Can some body let me know what could be the reason.
Thanks,
Jeetu

Hi Jeetu,
can you check in your cube if you have for one material, entries with AND entries without the MATL_TYPE? If this is the case then you were loading transactional data before having the corresponding material master data.
You should adapt your scenario:
- first do not use the standard attribute derivation during your URules: performance is very bad.
- implement a start routine filling an internal table with your material and MATL_TYPE for all entries of material in your datapackage.
- implement an update routine on the MATL_TYPE with a READ on this internal table an raise an ABORT = 4 if the MATL_TYPE is initial or the material in not found.
Now to fix your situation you'll have to reload your cube or alternatively just reload your missing MATL_TYPE MATERIAL from your cube itself and selective delete those which are empty.
hope this helps...

Amount not getting displayed in the cube

Hi,
I have a ZTable which has got an Amount field declared like this.
AMOUNT WAERS CUKY 5 0 Currency Key
And I declared a ZAMOUNT as Amount in the cube and provided 0CURRENCY.
Initially there was no value in the Amount column in the Ztable and hence could not see any value of Amount in the cube.But after entering values in the ZTable, I deleted the replicated the DS, create TR, UR and then create an InfoPckg and then created the Data Transfer Process. But still I am not able to see the Amount Value in the cube.
Kindly Help
Sam..

Hi Edwin,
Assigning and mapping which you mentioned is just pulling an arrow from the left Amount to right ZAmount, right? I did that. But there is an additional 0Currency on the right side without getting mapped? Should I map that also to Amount? Any issue with Rules.

Fields in the cube

Hi Experts
Here client wants 200 fields in cube
whether that is suggestable help me in this
Regards
Anand

Hi,
Its possible to have that many fields in the cube, but you have to consider what the reporting requirements are and how the data is connected, etc. You also have to consider how much data volume is going to be generated and at what level you are going to store the data in the cube. If your client is suggesting you to have line item level or granular data in your cube , suggest to them to have that in an ODS and provide jump queries from the cube to the ODS if necessary.
If many of the fields are not going to be required for reporting at present or in the future, suggest to the client to have them in the ODS and a smaller subset of the fields in the cubes.
Cheers,
Kedar

Issue when uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube.

Dear All,
I have an issue when I am uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube. I am using BI 7.0 and I have uploaded all sales document level data to my DSO. Then I use a transformation rule to calculate the Sales Value when I am doing DTP to cube. Cube has customer wise aggregation data.
In DSO I have NetPrice(KF) and Delivered_QTY(KF). I do a simple multiplication routine in the transformation from DSO to Cube.
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-NET_PRICE * SOURCE_FIELDS-DLV_QTY .
At the moment I use Active Table(With out Archive) on the DSO to get the data since this is my first load.
Issue is that the figure (Sales Value) in the cube is incorrect. I am getting a very large values which is impossible.
Can someone please help me.
Shanka

Hi,
are you sure that cube has customer wise aggregated data..since it will always aggregate the values of the key figures for the same set of characters...
did you checked the values for the key figures as well and if even they are inflated or is the problem with this key figure only.
During the data load the records may aggregates first for the same values of characters and then multiplication will be happening....if that is the case then you may have to multiply the values before storing it in the data package and then let it aggregate....can be achived through start routine...
but first verify if other key figures are also having the same issue.
Thanks
Ajeet

CUBE Not getting All records from DSO

Hi Experts ,
We have a situation where we have to load data from a DSO to a Cube . The DSO contains only 9 records and while we r loading the data into cube , the cube is only getting 2 records . Thus 7 records are missing. Also The Cube contains more Fields than DSO. in the transformations , for the extra fields we have written end routine and those extra fields will get data by reading master data .. Any pointers how to get the missing records or what is the error ...

Impact if FIGL10 DSO is not staged b4 FIGL10 Cube

Heallo SDNer's,
How wud it impact if I dont stage 0FIGL_O10 - DSO between 0FIGL_C10 ?
Structures wud be similar - no additional fields in Cube.
Even SAP defined DSO n Cube have similar fields.
Datasource is <b>delta capable</b> - 0FI_GL_10.
Some background - > After having enhanced FIGL10 DSO with some fields which do exist in the datasource I have to have 19Keys to determine the unique records or to pull all records from PSA w/o any records being overwritten.
However, datasource relevant OSS note sugggested to take d help of artificial keys ( for the same DSO...here 1 artificial key will concatinate 4 keys ) .
<b>Data volumes will be less - 200thousands a month.</b>
Wud SAP suggested method ( artificial keys ) be a better bet ?
Please share your thoughts.....any inputs wud really help

Jr Roberto,
You can do this. In BW system.
1. Go to table RSOLTPSOURCE.
2. Enter 0FI_GL_10 as datasource.
3. Check the field delta process value, refer that value to table RODELTAM.
That will tell you what kind of data is coming from that extractor. Based on the delta data (After image, before image and after image, etc), you can decide whether you need DSO or not.

Data not matching in cube which gets from two DSOs

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
Cube gets from data from 2 DSOs.
In 1 DSO -
There are three fields which are mapped to one field in Cube
2 DSO--There are also similar type.
Like 4 fields in dso2 mapping to 1 field in cube
When the data is loaded into Cube,
the data is shown as split data like DSO 1 data and DSO2 data.
I want them combined.
Can anyone let me know what can I do to show as combined data.
Thanks In advance!

Thanks to both of you.
I am different characterstics in DSO1 and DSO2 to cube.
Ofcourse 1or 2 characterstics are common in both DSOs.
Employee LNum deptid frname compcode
12                               VBNM W123
13                                KNML   W145
15             345    K45
16             864    L89
So I am able to see as Split data.12,13 employee IDs are from DSO1 and 15,16 r from DSO2.
even if I give sam eemploee numbers also, same type of split data appears.
Please suggest tocombine both DSOs data in the cube.
Thanks In advance!
