Dear Moderators and Mr.Lakshmipathi

Dear All
For the past two hrs i have been silently watching this and this thread is totally violating the rules and regulations of this forum
This confirms Mr.Amit's comments of few days back of ,locking a thread is totally based on mood of the moderators
Forum post in ERP - Sales and Distribution (SD) General: inter company stock transfer
inter company stock transfer
If everybody wants to communicate thro E mail then while registering make the Mail as mandatory in business card
Silently all elite members  are watching this happen
If the same is asked by a new comer what we would have done Let us answer ourselves
Rules are same for both Newcomers and seniors

Raja

Dear Raja and Lakshmipathi,
Though, I am little in-active within Forum (as Contributor), still I am very much Active (as Well-Wisher).
I have few suggestions, based up on my own observations, within this Forum:
Other Members don't get know, whether a Thread has got abused by someone or not, as a result, Un-Knowingly, Other Members keep Replying to the thread.
My Suggestions are:
1. If, one abuses a thread, Others must get notified, either by some Light-signal or Text Message, against that thread.
As a result, Other Members will not reply to this thread until, final call would have been taken by Moderators (Either, Moderator will Lock the Thread or will Open the Thread for Replying - either by Remove Light-Signal or Text Message)
Important: One, who is abusing thread, must need to give Mandatory Reason for Abusing the thread.
In a defined Period, if a Inquirer's threads get abused, for "n" no. of times, his/ her ID must get blocked for 7 Days (first time), 15 Days (second time), Permanently Deleted (Third time).
This will also be applicable for the one, who abuses the thread. If, Moderators don't find suitable Reason for Abusing, the same 3-time rule (first time, second time, permanent deletion of id) will also be applicable for him/ her.
Moreover, if, one has already abused the thread, and Final-Call on to the Abused-Thread, is still pending with Moderators and Other Contributors are continuing to reply Abused Thread, same 3-time rule will be applicable for them, also.
2. Facility: Abuse a Thread, must be publisize within Forum as Locked Thread, like Rules of Engagement and Read before Posting. This will help all the Users, to know about the Facility.
There are few more suggestions, But, if Moderators and Other Forum-Members, find it feasible (somewhat), we can go with above-suggestion, as a Pilot.
Best Regards,
Amit
Note:
Dear Mr. Ramanathan,
Please don't mind, but it was a little un-fair on your part:
Dear Moderators and Mr.Lakshmipathi
As, Mr. Lakshmipathi is also a Moderator, it was enough with Subject: Dear Moderators.
Whereas, Addressing Mr. Lakshmipathi, personally, was something like, out of all Moderators, we are making him Most-responsible, for all this mis-happenings.

    Dear Moderators,
    Can we make a rule for General Posting..?
    For example:
    If, there are general queries like:
    Posting only possible in periods 2009/01 and 2008/12 in company
    or,
    Account xxxxx requires an assignment to a CO object'
    or
    What is Third Party Sales Process
    and many more...
    for which 100s of threads, with Solutions, are already being available in [Search Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/forumsearch]
    and if, User puts the similar kind of Queries (repeatedly, again and again) and he does not provide his Research-work (before posting the threads); in such case -
    USER must get Blocked, from the Forum.
    This will reduce the No. of Unwanted queries, in to Forum. This will also ensure the Quality of the Forum. This will restrict the Ill-Practices, in to the Forum.
    No matters, what Moderators and Other Members, are gonna think up on this suggestion; This was my responsibility to Provide something Constructive-Feedback, to the Forum, which has given me alot (in SAP Knowledge sense).
    Best Regards,
    Amit
    Note: Make User more responsible, while putting the Queries/ issues, in terms of:
    1. How much efforts, have been taken by themselves?
    2. Query must be meaningful, in sense, what is the requirement and why it is reqd.

    Dear Amit
    All these years I have been requesting members to search the forum before posting silly / basic questions and only very few members have taken my request in right spirit and some have raised objection and at times, they have commented like anything which I dont want to express here.
    I am really happy that all members have the same opinion and going in right direction which is defintely an encouraging sign to this forum.
    All of you are aware Moderators are also doing their best by locking the threads then and there and giving a warning to the concerned but at the sametime, it is also very difficult to keep monitoring the forum regularly as they also have to work for their employers.
    Dear Mr.Amit on your comments
    USER must get Blocked, from the Forum
      I dont think practically this is possible. In fact  discussions are going on among Moderators and necessary steps are being taken then and there.  Also wherever any individual holds multiple user ids and rewarding themselves, they have blocked those user ids straightaway.
    This is due to the fact that many new members without knowing the rules and regulations of the forum, are posting such questions and despite the fact that they have been requested, many continue to do so.  As I always telling the forum, unless the individual have self discipline and maintain decorum, it will be hectic task to Moderators to bring controls in the forum. 
    This is not only in this forum but in all other forum also, these things are still continuing and there also, the respective members have warned.
    Anyway, I will take up with other Moderators about this issue and update.  But for posting repeated questions, blocking the respective user id may not be possible.
    thanks

    Dear ladies and gentlemen!
    I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
    Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner
    mailto: [email protected]

    The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
    The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

  • Ipad warranty and aftercare

    Dear moderators- please note that this is a genuine question, it is not a non-constructive rant or complaint, it is not off topic.
    A 15 year old member of my party purchased an ipad2 in LA last month. She was told that as she lived in the UK she would need to purchase the Applecare premium. Later I returned to the store with her to question the necessity of the extra purchase. I was told that in the event of hardware failures she would be able to return the ipad to a UK Apple store for a free repair (within the initial 12 month period).  Armed with this knowledge she asked for (and received) a refund.
    Given that the initial advice was incorrect, I am not 100% confident that the latter is correct. Can anyone clarify the situation?
    Additionally after the 12month period does the Applecare only cover hardware failure? Surely the likelihood of hardware failures in this period is miniscule.
    Thanks in advance.
    BTW MODS if I have posted in the wrong place then please move rather than delete my post, tnx

    sorry guys...
    I guess I phrased the first part of my question badly.
    She was told that she HAD to take the AppleCare if she wanted any cover outside of the USA, ie she was led to believe that 12 month warranty was limited to the USA only, and that only by buying AppleCare she would end up with cover in the UK (with the added benefit of an extra 12 months plus phone support).
    Later when I pushed the salesman on the subject he then said that the standard 12 month warranty would be honoured in the UK.
    I assume that statement 1 is false, what about statement 2?

  • Question to Forum moderators

    Dear moderators,
    Is there any person at Creative (other than customer support) to whom I could discuss the Sound Font and Midi issues with the X-Fi card?
    I have emailed customer support on several occasions, and was even directed to Developer Support regarding my issues with the card but haven't gotten an answer.
    To be honest, I'm quite frustrated with the fact that the sound card isn't 100% compatible with Sound Fonts and MIDI the way previous models were.
    If I can't contact somebody myself, would it be possible for you do send along this information to the correct people at Creative?
    This problem has existed since the card came out and we're coming up on 2 years since I first contacted customer support and still no fix for these issues.
    These are the problems with SF and MIDI:
    1.- Effects on Sound Fonts are close to non-existent no matter if you max the levels on them.
    2.- The card no longer responds to envelope controllers.
    3.- Polyphony number is MUCH less than that on the Audigy series and previous models (MIDI files I made with the SoundBlaster32 and sounded great now have notes cut off).
    I'm sorry if this in any way inconveniences you but I've tried the contact information on the Creative site without success.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    perihelion54, I hear you. I can't help you, other than to offer my support. I have questions about the technical spec of the soundfont engine as well, and it's difficult to know where to get answers.
    The only reason I have an X-Fi is for the 24-bit soundfont feature. I haven't gotten into the detail of programming the X-Fi yet, although I have created soundfonts for the Live! and Audigy range.
    There's a few new features in the latest (2.4?) version of Vienna, so that might be worth a try. I have been using AWave Studio 10, which SoniVox also seem to use by times.

    Your Abuse Reports are definately appreciated. No doubt about that.
    In this case 3 posts came into the reports, one of them self-reported by you.
    They all tilted a bit too far into the grumpie (even horrify, or aggressive) zone, so were rejected. The system then automatically sends a nasty mail...
    Perhaps we should tone down the choice of wording a bit?
    Moving the What is BC - ABAP thread into the Coffee Corner didnt seem an option either because we have enough of those here by now as well ...
    We cannot move every interview question into the Coffee Corner. The thread is now locked.
    Hope that is okay for you now,

  • A suggestion to moderators

    Dear moderators in MM forum,
    May I made a suggestion? I have received some feedback from my colleagues who are trying their best to contribute in this forum. That some time, which is not so frequent, that their points will be unassigned.
    I've explained to them about the possible reason, and they can accept this.
    But since we can't track the reason when points are unassigned.
    Would you please try to send the author an email/message when you decided to unassign points?
    That will do great help to all users in this forum, and this will help to guide them the correct principle, so that they will not make the same mistake again.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hongyan

    Thanks for the suggestion it's actually on our list and pretty high up there already we are hoping to see it go beyond development here soon.

  • Unproffessional Comments form moderators

    Dear Moderators,
    I am member since 2006 and I used to participate in SDN fourum activiely in 2006 and 2007. That this I was the top contributer in From Priting. That  time most of the members used to open threads and once get the answers they used to leave it as it is.
    I used to give a comments in all my threads that "Please Close this thread.. when your problem is solved andReward if Helpful"
    due to my busy work I did not participated in furums since 2 year and since few days I am posting answers. Now also I am using the same comments at the end of my answers.
    I observed that moderators are editing those messages or rejecting the postings. It seems the time has changed and all forum users are aware about how our forum is working..
    One of the moderator kishan P has edited my positng and updted unproffessional comments. like "Welcome to the 21st Century. Do not beg for points."
    I am surprised.... we all are working proffessionals and should have minimum knowldgede of respecting other proffessionals.
    If the moderator really wants to say that donot ask or inform about points I think he can remove the post or edit it.. but I think it is not a proper manner to give such a comments.
    Could you pelase give moderator status to the members who are good professionals or give some training how they have to respond to the new members... the comments should be encuraged enough to invite more professional but not to dissppoint them
    Thank you for understandig...
    /message/9732065#9732065 [original link is broken]

    Naresh and the Community,
    Firstly, my apologies for the unprofessional words used. As has already been stated, there are times when we Moderators snap. This usually happens when a full-time employee with work pressures have to spend part of his time in:
    - Moving 30-40 threads to the right subforum,
    - Lock, edit and warn 10-20 threads
    - Suggest 10-20 postors to use appropriate titles, informative questions, post questions in the right forum etc
    - Edit 5-10 ASAP and Argent requests for answers
    - Read through 10-20 Abuse Reports and act on them
    on a daily basis.
    Some people even after repeated requests and warnings just dont get it. In such cases, we propose their ID for deletion. And in between all these we get posts with a "request" for points - which as you must have found out is pretty obselete. This is where the usual snapping point comes. But yes, you are right we do need to maintain a professional approach.
    As I stated earlier, some users just do not get it after repeated requests. In such cases, we as a moderator resort to various tactics - humour being one of them. This was one such case that probably went horribly wrong for me. And I sincerely apologize. I will be more polite in the future. People who know me here, probably already know I've already sobered a lot after the Moderatoral responsibilty and trying harder at it.
    I would also like to thank you for pointing this out, as it will only make this community a better place for all of us.

  • Links for tutorials and SAP Help

    Dear Moderators,
       Can you please provide us urls for useful tutorials and SAP help for developing the crystal reports and deployment. What is the infrastructure required for the development and deployment.
    Thanks!
    Surya.

    Hello Surya,
    I'm assuming from the context of your question that you're interesting in integrating Crystal Report to SAP - in the BI or reporting off of BW Queries.
    This is certainly possible via the "SAP Integration Kit" offered with BusinessObjects Enterprise.  Active discussion concerning the "SAP Integration Kit" and creating Crystal Reports can be found in the Business Objects forum:
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-forums|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-forums]
    There's a "SAP Integration Java SDK" that allow web developers using BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK to develop web applications to interact with BW Queries in Crystal Report with SAP:
    [http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/boexir2/en/BusinessObjects_SAP_JavaSDK.pdf|http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/boexir2/en/BusinessObjects_SAP_JavaSDK.pdf]
    This forum is for discussions for Java SDK development outside of BusinessObjects Enterprise and SAP Integration.  The Java Reporting Component won't allow you to create or view reports if they're reporting off of BW queries. 
    Questions concerning the SAP Integration Kit is best asked in the "Business Objects" forums, and questions concerning the SAP Integration Java SDK is best asked in the "Business Objects SDK -> Java Development - Business Objects Enterprise"  forums.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Difference Between Amount in Doc Curr. and Amount in Second Local Curr.

    Dear Moderators:
    When we did GR, system will generate one FI document authomatically, I got a question about the amount in FI document, the background is:
    Document currency is EUR
    Local currency is CNY
    The maintained exchange rate in system is 1 EUR = 10.052 CNY;
    After done GR, got the PPV item line of FI document as follows: e.g.
    PPV G/L account    Amount in doc. curr.  Amount in local. curr.  Amount in second curr.
    PPV                       840                          8,378.55                 833.50
    The quotient of dividing 8,378.55 by 833.50 is the maintained exchange rate in SAP system.
    My question is why the amound in doc. curr. is not equal to the amount in second curr.? What exchange rate does the system use to calculate the amount in doc. curr.?
    I'm highly appreciated that you can help me to solve my confused question! Thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    Z.T

    An exchange rate can be entered while entering your document. 
    Another option is you can define an exchange rate in the document type.  Go to OBA7 and know whether any exchange rate type is already defined in the document type.
    By default, the system would pick up exchange rate type 'M' from the tables for conversion if no other specific type is mentioned.

  • I am going to BUY an XFI Fatility in just a few minutes and

    Just so everyone on this message board knows, I have been reading and reading
    till the only way I can determine if this thing works is by getting one. I have
    come to grips that if it were to cause me to slick my dri've Ill do it. All I have to
    do is remove a Li've 5. Platinum and drivers. That should be know problem for the preinstallation of the XFI.
    I want to let anyone on here interested know that there is an ongoing software conflict with Logitech product drivers, Asus update(has never worked properly in my opinion anyway) further more about Asus upate , YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FLASH YOUR MB BIOS WITH AFUDOS FROM A BOOTABLE DISK. COMMAND PROMPT "AFUDOS /i[name of .rom] /o[save .rom]. Also notice I did not put a space inbetween the i and the file name as well as o for the save. I just flashed my Asus P4C800E-Deluxe with a long running Beta Bios of 024.0. Since its been up for months that ususally means for Asus it hasnt gotten any complaints to any severe extent or they would have pulled it. I actually notice an improvment in my system in fact.
    So I am going to Pay 300 bills for this card because It should be a great audio card and I love the 5.25 bays.
    I already determined that the new Setpoint drivers for the new Logitech Laser Cordless Mice caused a conflict. Also I feel the middle mouse button is not a good solution for gamers with it moving from side to side. I use the middle mouse button to zoom frequently.
    Anyway. I bought the MX58 and used the drivers with it. Any version of setpoint drivers above these caused me conflicts and problems which initially pointed to hardware. So my point is that some of the problems everyone is having may be driver related.
    Asus update PERIOD is buggy and dangerous. So take my advice never flash with it or use it period.
    Secondly any new Logitech driver for whatever product may be the culprit. I am not kidding. I have proven it on my system.
    BUT, all of you are probably laughing saying I am going to get screwed. Well I have decided to take the risk. I assure you I will come back and let you know my findings.
    So here is where my system stands prior to loading an XFI probably Fatality or the $200 dollar model.
    .)Asus P4C800E-Deluxe flashed to the 024.0 Bios. (no problems)
    2.)EVGA 6800 Ultra with the newest nvidia certified drivers. Tweaked only with reg keys.
    3.)gig Corsair 3200 memory in 4 slots and running correctly in Dual Channel.
    4.)Raid 0 with more than enough disk space.
    Within the past 2 weeks I did a complete slick of my dri've. I didnt ghost it. I loaded a minimum of ap
    ps.
    My favorite games only. So my computer is flying as a matter fact.
    A good game to test your machine with is "Painkiller". Although the bugs in the game are well know. Crash to the screen. Hang during game play. If the game plays for long periods before any of these things occur than you have a really good game system running if you can play at 280x024 everything maxed in Painkiller that is. Also I play all my games in 280x024.
    Furthermore take note of this. I just bought "Sin Emergence" ,loaded it and played it after Steam updated it. I had sound glitching problems in the game which I attribute to my outdated Li've 5.. It happens almost in all games. BUT I went to play F.E.A.R. Today and I got the infamous staticky movie intro visually as will as sound. I could go into video options once in the game and just make sure my res was set to my liking and get out and then it functioned I think properly.
    Well I saved my save games and profile and uninstalled Fear. I reloaded it up to patch .4 and what do you know it works perfectly now.
    So did Loading "Sin Emergence" cause this? Honestly its the only change I made since playing Fear so I would have to conclude that something did occur software wise to give me this problem.
    I will tell you people I will troubleshoot the hell out of the XFI because I do believe that the moderators and such on the forum hear really dont know what is going on. The one thing alarming I did read was that
    Creative Labs is prioritizing their work for Vista. That means compatibility in XP is not a high priority for them right now. Therefor it is up to us to get the thing to work.
    So Ill be back

    Its been 4 days now since I installed the XFI Platinum. I am still notating many things to make sure I get the best performance out of it.
    For me fortunately the XFI is working. It did what I hoped it would do and that is take away the glitching and crackling and popping I was getting using an SB Li've 5. Platinum.
    For anyone interested, and just to let you know I am a computer services business owner and technician for 9 years and have been working with creative products since the very first Sound Blaster 6 was around. Thats Dos and windows days for those who want the simple.
    To the previous poster you are absolutely correct about the processes loading. As a technician you must never think you know everything so using Google is an everyday thing for me. I have already done it in regards to finding out what certain files are that are running at startup and even an outdated service that I dont need running. Since I did what you suggested yesterday before even reading this I will let other people learn from your suggestion and mine for that matter.
    But you are wrong in implying that it is okay to flash a bios while in the operating system. I have been using Asus boards for years.
    I have a P2B, CUSL, CUSL2, The VIQ P3 board I cant remember the model. Slot though and now I have the P4C800E-Deluxe
    I would say I have quite a bit of experience using ASUS motherboards wouldnt you? Actually I have 4 running right now. The VIA board is the only one not in use but still works.
    My first experiences with ASUS update were not good as a matter of fact. When I discovered it was attempting to flash my bios while working in the OS I cancelled QUICKLY.
    Any technician that is experienced like myself will STRONGLY reccomend a MB Bios be flashed from a clean boot from either a CDrom or Floppy. Yes I know Floppy dri'ves are archaic now but everyone of my computers has one and even the new PCI-E boards I am pretty sure have the option of having a 3.5 floppy dri've. If I had the money to upgrade to an SLI Asus board and I had 2 7900s I would . I assure you. but my system works great.
    I believe I already stated its specs.
    Anyway my experience with the XFI after 4 days is like this.
    I found it necessary to reinstall the game F.E.A.R and when I did the game showed the Creative HD logo which I did not see before the reinstall. Obviously I saved my profile and games. Any gamer knows to do this. So after reinstall I enabled all 3 features in the game , put my saved games back and its great. I mean great. The 3d in my headphones is worth the money alone. I am hearing sounds and music that I never heard before.
    So here is my point. I would conclude that in some cases in MAY be necessary to reinstall a game to get the card to funcetion properly. With that being said it MAY be necessary to reinstall your OS as well. For me since I was using the driver that comes with XP and the update from creative I was fortunatelly so far behind I believe that is why I havnt had to reinstall my OS. This is my opinion purely and reinstalling an OS to get the XFI to work properly Is obviously a posibility for many people.
    Many computer users do not know about disabling processes at startup. Disabling services.
    Most people expect the hardware to work right no matter what condition their computer is in.
    So my final thought on the 4th day is that if you can try it and you dont care, try reinstalling XP if thats your OS. I mean clean install. Save everything you need to save.
    BUT DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE XFI IN THE SYSTEM. After the OS is loaded and you have connectivity to the net , drivers for your video card , then open your box up and put the card in and try installing it the way it says.
    That seriously might get the card to work for many poeple. Almost all games have saved game folders that you can save. Most every serious PC user that would buy this card would also have their games on another partition or dri've itself.
    So here are the test games I have used so far.
    Doom 3
    Painkiller
    FEAR
    I have many more games to test it with like Half Life 2, NFSMW, etc.
    So Ill come back and tell you what I found.
    Oh I have removed all unnessary processes I have been able to determine from Creative now and the XFI is running great. The Volume Panel doesnt seem to bog my system down. I mean I am playing FEAR at 280x024 with very good frame rates. I have EVGA 6800 Ultra OCed to 433Mhz Core Clock. I also OCed my P4 3.2 to 3.36
    I hope every one gets theirs to work but I have to suggest that the XFI may not be so messed up as is beeing suggested by many. I almost didnt buy it because I read so many potential problems. I was most conserned about Service Pack 2. Incidentely I am still running Service Pack and the XFIs apps all loaded and are functioning properly. No errors.
