Decision Points on ibooks

Does anybody know if Decision Points is available on ibooks. I can't find it through my search but when I googled it, I found an article that said it would be available. Thanks.

The iPad is W's favorite gadget (per CNN), so it is ironic his book is not sold through iBooks. The Kindle app is not bad, but I just prefer the iBooks interface, the in-App bookstore, and the ability to get samples (saved me from some highly rated, poorly written books). I've got another book to finish first, then I'll check again on iBooks, just in case.
Best.

Decision Point change status

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to develop a report to modify the status of a decision point.
I have tried to use the standard function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY and I've tried the method set_attributes of the standard class CL_RPM_DECISION.
In both cases, the return code is OK and apparently the status changed (looking the variables in debug mode) but once the report ends, the old status remains in the database (table /RMP/DECISION).
I paste the both ABAP code through I'm trying to change the DP status.
Please, could you tell me if I missed something or if there is something wrong?
thanks a lot.
Aupa.
ABAP Code:
When I'm calling the function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY , I do:
ls_context-object_guid = wa_decision-guid.
ls_context-portfolio_guid = lv_porf_guid.
ls_context-parent_guid = wa_decision-guid.
CALL FUNCTION '/RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY'
    EXPORTING
      is_context     = ls_context
      iv_language    = lv_lang
      iv_change_mode = lv_chg_mode
      it_comments    = it_item_desc_comments
    IMPORTING
      ev_rc          = lv_rc
    TABLES
      it_attributes = it_item_desc_attr_ins
      et_msg         = lt_msg.
and when I've tried to use the standard class, I do:
DATA:   lr_decision     TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_decision,
          ls_attributes   TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          ls_decision_int TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          lv_rc           TYPE i.
DATA: lr_object_manager TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_obj_manager,
        lr_common         TYPE REF TO if_rpm_common.
lr_object_manager = cl_rpm_obj_manager=>get_instance( ).
CALL METHOD lr_object_manager->get_appl_object
    EXPORTING
      iv_project_guid = i_item_guid
      iv_appl_obj_id   = i_decision_id

      iv_appl_obj_ot   = 'EPO'
    RECEIVING
      rr_object        = lr_common.
lr_decision ?= lr_common.
CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_attributes.
Make sure that decision point is in edit mode
lv_rc = lr_decision->if_rpm_entity~set_edit_mode(
                     cl_rpm_co=>sc_edit_mode_change ).
IF lv_rc IS NOT INITIAL.
    RAISE error.
ENDIF.
Update status
ls_decision_int = ls_attributes.
ls_decision_int-status = i_status.
ls_decision_int-active = 'X'.
Set the DP attributes
lr_decision->set_attributes( ls_decision_int ).
Read new atrributes
clear ls_decision_int.
CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_decision_int.
e_status = ls_decision_int-status.

When you are using function module to change the decision point status, you must use /RPM/SAVE_CHANGES function module after /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY function module otherwise the changes will not be committed to database.
When you are using the classes , then you should use object manager ( cl_rpm_obj_manager) instance method do_save.

Status Sync between Specification Header Status (PLM) and Decision Point Status (PPM)

Mapping of item decision points to PS Network/WBS

Hi,
In PPM 5.0, one of the new features introduced is the mapping of decision points to a PS Network or WBS element. In the configuration map item template to PS, we have the option of choosing the item type and a project definition. The first question that arise is, what are the pre-requisites. I press new entries, enter the item type. In the F1 for PS project it says to enter the field PSPR from the table PROJ. The project system module is in a different system. I have created the RFC destination for the system and in the definition of object links, I have mapped that system for both account assignment WBS element and Network. But the system is unable to fetch the project system project for mapping. Could someone explain the procedure for doing this, as it is not clear from the IMG help?
Regards,
swami

I checked the configuration guide.
In the IMG
Portfolio Independent settings -> Item template to PS project, under sub menu
Item template to PS project
Create new entries
Item template ID (chosen item template)
Object type : By default it shows 0INMPSPD
As per the configuration guide, "You must determine the SAP ERP system to be used for integration into PS by choosing an entry in the object type column". I do not see an appropriate entry for sAP ERP system even though I have created the logical system and RFC destination for the SAP ERP system in which PS resides.
Could some one help me out by guiding how to get the above setting done?
Regards,
Swami

Item search based on decision point status

hi,
i am trying add items to a review. i want to add only those items which are in a particular status of a decision point. Currently, i could not find any option in Add-> search when i am in review screen. Can there be any configuration through which i can get this or is this going to be a development.
Pls suggest.

I don't think there is any configuration to achieve this. Alternatively you can create a custom search help and configure it.

Decision point that will atomatically distribute the shopping cart

Hello,
We intend to work with Extended classic scenario.
In the EBP system we should have a decision point that will atomatically distribute each
shopping cart to the next step according.
the parameters: according the product category, value and organizational structure.
We want the system to decide what should be the next step for the shopping cart:
Transferred to the R/3 as a requisition
Transferred to the R/3 as a purchase order
Transferred to a purchase order in the SRM system
Wait for a purchasing group to be transferred to a purchase order in the SRM system
What is your recommendation?
Thanks
Zion Yazdi ++972-523-655895

Zion,
yes it sounds logic to use Purch Group assignment.
But then you could control PO access by purch group authorization object, instead of using BADI BBP_WF_LIST.
If you have the correct purch group in your PFCG profile, you can access or modify the PO.
You would then have to maintain as many PFCG purchaser profiles than you have purch groups...
If this represent to much workload, then use BADI BBP_WF_LIST to check PO purch group against connected user's purch group.
You could also implement directly all your logic in BADI BBP_WF_LIST (control access to PO doc if employee/proc dep/contract user) but this would be really time and performance consumming. So it is better to compute a PO header "key" to control acces, that could be the purch group.
PS: if you use purch group to control PO access, this requires that each employee is defined in a purch group ! So you may have to combine purch group and other criteria in BADI BBP_WF_LIST.

Initiative Item Decision Point

Hi PPM Guru,
Is any way can we use Decision points on Initiative or Item approval process either similar to cProject Phase approval process or regardless of Decision point status management process?
Thank You.
Regards, Diana

Hi Diana,
Yes. You can approve (change the status) a Decision Point, similar to the Phase approval process. This can be done by DFM - Decision Flow Management. Once this is switched on for 'Status Synchronization' , each and every status change in the Phase can in turn trigger the corresponding status change in the Decision Point.

1) In Define Services, assign questionairre service (000000000000006) to object type EPO (Decision Point)
2) Assign questionairre service to the field via SAP Custom or SAP Field Configuration whichever applicable in Field Configuration.
3) Create the questionairre

Regarding Decision Point

Hi All,
We have a tab called 'Phases and Decisions' in an item screen. There a table is getting displayed with decision point name, ID, Status and few more fields. I need to find out the corresponding webdynpro for that screen. When i right click and click on more field help, it is giving the component name as SALV_WD_TABLE. But this component can be used for any ALV, now i need to know how the data is getting populated into these fields and possibly how the screen is getting generated. Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks,
Haritha

Hello Haritha,
There is generic WD component for all Dashboards,which is identified by the context and the object type. For 'Phase and Decision Point' Dashboard Object Type is PDP and the Parent Object can be RIH (Item) or IPO (Initiative). The WD Component for the same is /RPM/UI_DASHBOARD.
Thanks and Regards,

DFM Setup - Project Phase to Item Decision Point

Hi Folks,
I am trying to setup a one way status sync from Project Phase to Item DP (i.e. status is only managed in cProjects and should sync to Item DP).
I have done the following config.
1. Defined Portfolio Item Types and mapped Item DP to Template Phases
2. Maintained Phase to DFM business transaction in IMG Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction
3. Maintained DFM to Item DP mapping in IMG Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status
4. Under IMG Map Business Transactions for Synchronization I added a couple additional business transactions that I needed for Source PPCP and Target PPODP.
Examples entries of the above config for are as follows. This is to change the mapped DP status to 'For Approval' when clicking "Begin Approval" in cProjects phase
Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction
Source Grouping - PPCP Project Phase
Target Grouping - PPODP Portfolio Item Decision Point
Source Bus Transacction - DX11 Begin Approval of Phase
DFM Bus Transaction - IX05 Set 'To Be Approved'
Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status
Target Grouping - PPODP Portfolio Item Decision Point
Source Grouping - PPCP Phase (Project Management)
DFM Bus Transaction - IX05 Set 'To Be Approved'
Portf Mgmt Status - Z0006 For Approval (custom status that I created for Item DP)
With the above config when I begin the approval in cProjects, the mapped item DP is not updated. I have ensure that the next status of the DP is configured accordingly.
Appreciate any ideas on how to get this working.
Thanks,
Lashan

It looks like the issue is because when "beginning approval" cProjects status is "For Approval - Released",which means 2 status are active and the DFM business transaction does not trigger.
Wondering if anybody has the issue where cProjects has 2 active status and the subsequent statuses does not trigger DFM transaction.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

What is the point of iBooks, seriously?

We know the iPad's screen doesn't make it the best eBook reader but for many who do appreciate the concept of reading their books on a portal device, they soon realise how much of a disappointment the software side is. A quick look of the reviews of the iBooks application is full of praise for the aesthetically and functional approach of the actual application, but it doesn't save it from the low review scores blamed for the "shameful" prices (often compared to other retailers of ebooks such as Amazon whom you'd think Apple is competing with in this regard) and the slow updating of the Store's contents.
The eBook market has a problem with it's various DRM formats as well. The Kindle is keen to reconcile that by allowing multiple device compatibility, but with iBooks having Apple's proprietary DRM format, consumers have to switch between Applications in order to read their chosen book. Having said that, what good reason is there actually for anyone to use iBooks? You would assume that in order to compete with the Kindle's store, you would see similar prices by Apple?

Publishers set prices higher for Apple users because they think we're stupid or rich enough to pay.
I have to respond to this part. Actually, they do it because they don't want to go out of business and they're hoping to put pressure on amazon's pricing model, which is unsustainable for anything except mega-best sellers. People think that the bulk of the cost of producing a book in print is ink and paper and distribution for some reason, but that's actually a relatively small part of it. It's editors and press departments and layout artists and (for non-fiction) indexers and so on that make up the bulk of the cost of producing a book and those costs are the same regardless of how the end product is distributed.
Most people don't realize the huge pressure that amazon exerts on the publishing industry. Why do you think the cover price on print books is so astronomical these days? It's because amazon demands such enormous discounts from publishers that in order to break even you have to set the cover price hugely more than you would otherwise, or you'd lose a bunch of money on every book that amazon orders.
Yes, Dan Brown's publisher can still make money on a $9.99 ebook, but 90% of the books that are out there are not profitable at that price, and if publishers don't make a reasonable margin on big bestsellers, they can't risk publishing books that may not be boffo hits, because they can't afford it.
So apple was just being realistic by allowing publishers to choose what to charge, and the pressure this put on amazon has already had an effect on their terms. It's not great for consumers in the short run, but if you like books and want to see them available, it's a good thing in the long run.

NY Times Best Seller list in iBooks

Why is the iBooks best seller list different than the actual NY Times list?
Example as of 12/12 #1 NY Times Bestseller list Hard Covered Non Fiction is Decision Points.
It is not listed or available for sale on iBooks, does anyone know why????

It is not listed or available for sale on iBooks, does anyone know why????
I don't know about the list, but lots of things are not available on iBooks because Apple has not yet been able to acquire the rights to sell them.
Try the Kindle or Nook apps instead.

Clamshell iBook Won't Boot from Jaguar CD (v10.2.3)

Branching off from a prior thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/13222609#13222609) in which booting from an OS X CD was a potential solution to a problem, the problem encountered with the potential solution warrants its own thread.
My machine is a Clamshell iBook (G3), Revision B (with 64MB base RAM and no FireWire). It was purchased new eleven years ago and later ugpraded to 192MB RAM.
The OS on the hard drive was 9.0.2 until yesterday, when I updated it to 9.1 so I could bring the firmware up to date. I did this before attempting to use the Jaguar CD.
The CD in question is an original Jaguar install CD, version 10.2.3. This is a two-disc set (the discs are labeled 1 and 2) and is a retail version; my iBook was manufactured prior to the release of OS X (non-server) and does not have an OEM OS X disc.
When the iBook attempts to boot from the CD, either by pressing "C" at startup or by running the Installer from OS 9.1, it seems to be loading fine until the following appears:
At this point, the iBook won't load any further and a restart is required.
The iBook does boot an OS X Cheetah (10.0) CD as well as its own restore disc (9.0.2) and the 9.1 disc that came with Cheetah. Unfortunately, Cheetah doesn't seem to have any effect on the battery (this is why I'm booting with an OS X CD; see the posts in the other thread for details). I don't have any other retail CD versions of OS X to try (aside from a Snow Leopard DVD).
Aside from this boot problem and the battery issue (the computer won't recognize the battery and displays an "X" through it even after having charged it with an external charger) the iBook is working perfectly fine.

No. I get the "X" through the battery in the menu bar and no bars, just a plug icon, in the control strip under OS 9.
The battery is a year old and has never been recognized by this computer. I don't have another Clamshell to test it in but did verify that it can charge in a VST charger.
The last time the computer recognized a battery was about 6 years ago when the initial batteries were still in use. Both were completely depleted after my charger shorted out; they didn't charge again after I got a new charger. The batteries were healthy at the time and were able to hold 3-4 hours, which was pretty typical mileage for me on this laptop.

IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's
