Developing a solution for a client with SAP

Hi there,
We're looking to work with a client who is running an SAP based system, and in advance of our next meeting in a month we have pledged to research the SAP platforms and how to interact with them.
The client will be upgrading to SAP 6 in a couple of months so, due to both this and the fact that we have not been selected yet as the final candidate, interacting with their system is not an option.
I have browsed SDN to see if there was a Developer Edition of the platform that we could use to test with, but couldn't find anything. Could anybody point me in the right direction for either a 'trial version' (though I know this is unlikely!) or even an open test system that we could connect to via VPN to test against... or any other ideas!
Thanks in advance,
Tom Groves

Thank you and whoever you copied this from so so much. Having already sent back one new iPod shuffle because after randomly autofilling from my entire music collection depsite following all the troubleshooting tips it just wouldn't let me do anything else, so I conclude it was broken! I then went out and got another new one from a different source only to find I had exactly the same problem. Ok that's too spooky for it to be a hardware problem, but having wasted two evenings of my life trying to sort it out I thankfully came across this post which works!:-) You are my saviour! Come on Apple put a fix out there for this or at least acknowledge there is a problem - otherwise I'm sure you'll end up loosing sales!

NLS_LANG setting for a client with multiple Oracle servers

Hello!
We have a web application which has to connect to one of the Oracle servers with different charactersets. When the NLS_LANG on the client is a single byte encoding and the server has a single byte encoding there are no problems. We have now a server with NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and all special (hungarian accented) character are replaced.
When we set the client to UTF8 the rest of servers does not work.
What is the solution for one client and multiple servers with different encoding?
Is there a special key in connection string?
I tried to change the nls_lang with an alter session statement but without success.
Regards,
emeriqus

NLS_LANG is not depending on the database side, it's a CLIENT setting to "let Oracle know what encoding is used on the CLIENT" so that Oracle can do the conversion from the client encoding to the database (NLS_CHARACTERSET) encoding.
for ONE application/client the is only ONE correct NLS_LANG value, regardless of the database NLS_CHARACTERSET
If you web application is really an UTF8 application (check with your vendor) then you can perfectly use a UTF8 client setting and a 8 bit database
Of course, you will be limited to the database side in this case seen the 8 bit characterset does not know all the characters in UTF8
The fact that setting the NLS_LANG to UTF8 "does not work" with your web application is simply the fact your application is not a UTF8 env.
Setting nls_lang to UTF8 will not "magically" make your application UTF8, NLS_LANG is depending on the encoding used in the web server.
But the first thing to ask yourself is if CURRENT data is correctly in the Oracle database.
use SQLdeveloper to check the data, this is a "know good client" that needs no NLS configuration.
You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/
If the data is displayed correctly in SQLdeveloper then you are sure it's correct in the database.
If data is WRONG in the database then that needs to be corrected first, "trying" different client side configurations will only make matter worse (even if they make the data "look good" )

Developing java application for your client

as a java programmer who want to develop a software for his client.After the java code and compiling it and running it on ur system,how do i package it for the client so that the software would have been in its programme file instead of the client running it through ms dos for him to use the software

Iam using Advance Installer. U can package ur application using this installer. Create a folder and copy ur lib and jar files into that. follow the installation steps. u can even include jre folder while packaging cos ur application will run even if ur client doesnt have jre installed in his system. well only thru this forum i came to know about Advance installer. u just give the setup file to ur client.

Apps for different clients with one creative cloud license

Can I publish apps for different clients with one single edition license on creative cloud?

Well, "should" is about as good as it gets, no one is going to enforce that, and it's certainly making me think very very hard about whether to bother with a pro licence again in August!
And yes I'm very much aware of the few advantages of the Pro Licence, I do need to see some much bigger differentiators to justify the extra cost though!
Just putting cards on the table :-)

Deployment for 250 Clients with a poor communicationlink

Hello guys :
We're currently working with Forte 3.0.J.1.
We have two questions :
1.- We have a big application and when we deploy it the client
partition is quite large.
The size of the standard partition image repositories (*.btd,
*.btx) is 7436 Kb.
We then need to distribute the client files over a LAN (5% of the
users) and over a
WAN (96% of the users). Most of the users have a poor communication
link ( 9600 bps !!!! ).
We have two schemes for the distribution :
a).- Configuration of the client machine ( forte control panel with
flag :
cfg:em:2:2:2. In this case, the client partition must be
manually copied.
This takes 50 minutes to copy via ftp. This flag requires
the file being executed
using ftexec -fi parameter.
b).- Normal Forte mechanism, the client partition is being
copied automatically once
forte detects a difference with the current file. This
takes 56 minutes via
the Forte environment.
Is there somebody having the same scenario ( low speed
communications links ), if so
can you share your experience with us?. Apart from that, we are
having quite good
response time inside the application.
2.- What is the minimal configuration in memory (RAM) for a Central
Server Node ( only Forte
environment ). The machine is an Alpha 4100 with 1GB of RAM running
Alpha Unix 4.0.D, the database is
Sybase Adaptive Server 11.9.3 with 250 to 300 concurrent forté
users.

Hi,
We've similar situation here but a little bit better. What we did was:
1. We gzipped all the client btrees under appdist after deployment but
before download.
2. We wrote our own "Launcher" which would do one extra step - unzip
the client btree before launching the client with normal launchservice.
One drawback of this approach is that you will need
1. hard-coding on unzipping the btree ( like hard-code for behaviour
under Windows, Mac or UNIX )
2. carefully designed application name. Note that Forte save the files
in only 8 characters. Any name longer than that will be truncated with
sequence number for the 8th character.
One more thing that we've observed over WAN. When the traffic is really
high and when we have a deployment, the nodemgr will crash claiming that it
is out of memory. However, when we check the trace, the memory allocated by
-fm is far more than enough. Thus, I suspected that when the download is
slow, the nodemgr is flood with threads trying to download the applet to the
client. And it is the thread manager that got boomed when there is really a
lot of users. So beware.
Regards,
Peter Sham.

LDAP connector for Customer masters With SAP..........

Hi Experts ,
Our requirement is we have certain applications which are integrated
with SAP Portal.
For these applications Data sources are maintained in two different
LDAPS.
One LDAP (enterprise directory) is for USER data and the other LDAP for
Customer data(in this senario customer data is nothing but business
partner role oragnization).
MY task is to build an interface for Customer data with LDAP sync.
So here the question is, Can we use SAP standard LDAP connectors to
make connectivity to the enterprise directory(LDAP)and push business
partners data from CRM to the enterprise directory.
In Standard SAP system which are standard LDAP connectors support
this functionality?
Please advice me and also let me know if we have any SAP notes for this
senario.
Best Regards
Prasad

Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
In the wiki you can find
You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
Could you please provide some more information on the topic?
Thanks a lot.

Recommended transition solution for ISP:s with enterprise customers?

What would be the recommended solution(s) for ISP:s with enterprises only as customers?
It both needs to support IPv6 and at the same time save IPv4 resources.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There are many possible choice for a soft transition of the Service Provider:
- Dual-Stack
The SP can run both protocols in the backbone for a while so he can test IPv6 Service by switching some part of the Network to IPv6 Only and see if it is OK. In case there is a problem he can get back to dual-stack, fix the issue and resume its testing until it is Ok and he can allow IPv6 Only.
- It is possible to provide IPv6 Service without upgrading the backbone to IPv6 Immediately using 6RD if the backbone is IPv4 or 6PE /6VPE (I did the dev-test for 6PE and 6VPE for CISCO for 3 years) if the backbone is IPv4/MPLS. This way the SP can start providing both IPv4 and IPv6 without upgrading the backbone. He can then move slowly to IPv6 with a Dual-Stack period not to switch immediately to IPv6 and allow to fallback if soething is not properly configured to work in IPv6 Only.
With 6VPE, the customer benefit of a dual-stack VPN and recently, CISCO has improved the Support of Multicast in MPLS which was main weakness of MPLS based solutions.
Once the SP has migrated to IPv6 Only, it is still possible to offer dual-stack, IPv4 and IPv6 service to its customers using DS-Lite or better, A+P when it will be available as A+P (dIVI-pd based) does not rely on CGN which has a couple of drawbacks for the SPs.
Once the Customer has migrated to IPv6 Only, it is also still possible to access some IPv4 resources (Networks, servers, applications) using NAT64.
I have a presentation for you:

Looking for a nice solution for different cases with nearly same operations

Hi everybody:
I'm looking for a nice solution for the following problem:
I'm measuring different data at the same time (with different devices).
I would like to save these data all in one array (or cluster?), but I
don't know exactly the way to do this. All values have corresponding
time values. So for one data type it would result in a 2d array,
wouldn't it? But how can I save different data types with their time
values in one array? Or should I take a cluster? And how can I get only
a certain type of data out of this array or cluster again? E.g. if I
only need data type "3" with its time stamps for evaluation? I would
really appreciate an example, I work with LV 7. Thanks!
Then - for evaluation - I only need one data type of these different
data. Which one I would like to choose via the frontpanel (it changes
from test to test). So, I thought of a case structure (where I can
choose which data type and correspondingly which evaluation way). The
evaluation steps for the different data types are quite the same, but
can vary in order of execution. I could write for every case the
(nearly) same evaluation steps, but this would take a lot of time, plus
if I need to change one step I need to change it in every case.
Does anybody know a better way?
Thank you very much in advance,
Steffi

In this example I have four arrays, which I would like to save alltogether in one file. First column should consists of time stamps, second column of value type 1, third column of value type 2, ... How can I solve this?

And, after that, how can I display only the second coulmn (e.g.) and time stamps in a waveform chart from this file? Or how can I say in LabVIEW: "display the last 30 values of column three over the time in a waveform chart"?
There is "array subset", which allows you to get any desired subset from an array. If yoyu want entire rows or colums, use "index array".
To display the last 30 values in a chart, just feed the data to a chart with the history size set to 30 elements. The rest will fall into place.

Best export solution for windows clients

Hi,
I need to regularly make files playable & editable on windows machines of all different specs/os versions for various clients.
I've been going to AVI at DV PAL codec, using MPEG Streamclip (cos I like the batch processing), but I've recently started having problems with large files (20 - 30Gb) lately. i hav a test windows box, and Windows Media Player won't open the large files.
I experimented with doing these in Quicktime Pro & in Visual Hub as well. QT Pro gave me nil picture. Visual Hub gave me a 4 Gb file and truncated the rest of the movie.
I've been doing a bit of reading and experts on forums like this keep saying words to the effect "Why are you going to AVI which is obsolete & not supported?"
I have PC based editor friends on Vegas & Premiere, and they say they need AVI.
I could go to WMV as I have Flip for Mac Studio (and Visual hub)..
What I really need is advice on a "lowest common denominator codec/container" combo that plays on Windows media player, so clients can marvel at their home movies, as well as can translate to most lower end PC editing packages, like Windows Movie Maker, Premiere Elements, Ulead, etc., when they decide they want to edit them.
I thought AVI @ DV would be the go..
Any ideas gentlemen?
Pete

Hi kirk,
..thanks for your reply.
It's not a Fat32 problem - I am well aware of that limit. I bought Paragon to be able to write to NTFS from my Mac. Anyway, these files are failing to play back on the Mac that made them.. from the desktop..
I have an imac 17" intel that also has Mpeg Streamclip on it and it's working absolutely fine..
So I was wondering if maybe a software update that has been done on my main machine and maybe hasn't been done of the 17".
Or maybe a hardware issue - My main Mac might be dying or something..
I have the Flip for Mac Studio, and also Virtual Hub, so I can make WMVs - the point is would I want to unless a client specifically requested it? (I've had some TV stations ask for WMVs!)
I thought AVI was the best choice for my clients to be able to future edit their files. Even those who do not choose to edit will burn their own DVDs, so I wouldn't think that H.264 would be a good choice for that, even though I personally really like that codec for other purposes.
One reason I was considering WMV for all PC clients is that then they could all open the files,no matter what their hardware/OS version.. and at least edit the files in Windows Movie Maker. Maybe if they want to edit in Premeier or such, and it wants AVIs, then they can download the PC version of Mpeg Streamclip and do it themselves..
Any ideas?..

TREX and ABAP-Client with SAP Web AS 6.40

Hi!
We want to use the TREX in order to enhance the performance of our own business object searches within our ABAP engine. Therefore I've heard that from ABAP we can use the TREX to search for business objects residing in SAP ABAP stack tables.
Currently we are working with ECC500 and SAP Web AS 6.40.
Has anyone experiences in this area?
Are there any How-To-Guides or s.th. like that?
What is the Software Level prerequisite of SAP Web AS 6.40 Release/Support Package? Or do I need SAP Web AS 7.00?
Thanx for any hints and tips!
By the way: Posted this question in the ABAP forum and got exactly zero replies.
Regards,
Volker

Hi Volker,
it would be better to upgrade to WAS 7.00.
There you could use the search engine service for business objects that was delivered with SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a751a1ec-0a01-0010-f0ba-89e4c5cd0261
This would be preferrable, as direct access to the TREX APIs is not officially supported. SES gives you all the methods you need for indexing and searching on ERP objects.

Simple solutions for cinematic look with 60i video?

I'm sure this questions pops up over and over but I'm getting a huge headache trying to sort everything out through my searches, especially as a beginner to the film making world. I'll get right to my questions, but first here is the equipment I am working with:
Camcorder = Sony HDR-XR500, shooting in 1920 x 1080 60i AVCHD format
Software = CS4 Creative Suite
I recently threw together a 10 min movie of a trip I just arrived back from using Premiere Pro, and while it was a lot of fun putting together I really have no idea if I went about it the right way. I want to practice taking a clip of mine and converting it to that cinematic look, and hope someone can help guide me through some steps.
Here is what I want to achieve:
- 2.35:1 pixel ratio
- 24p or similar effect (trying to figure this out makes my head spin)
I know color correction has a lot to do with the cinematic look, but I realize there are many ways of going about this so I'll refrain from asking any questions in regards to this for now. (I did find using the Fast Color Corrector and setting Saturation to 75%, and Input levels to 20, 1, 220 gave a nice film look)
Step 1: What settings should I use to create my new project?
Capture Format = HDV?
For the sequence presets should I use AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) non-anamorophic?
Step 2: If I want to create a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, should I simply crop my clip? I think I read somewhere for 1920 x 1080 video, crop 14% from top and bottom? Or should I crop when I export out the movie?
Step 3: What would be the simplest/quickest way of getting that 24fps look using Premiere Pro or After Effects? I know shooting in 24p is obviously the easiest way, but should I simply deinterlace my 60i video by right clicking clip>Field Options> Always deinterlace to achieve similar effect?
Step 4: Exporting video....again so many options I'm not sure what to do here. Basically, could someone provide me with the best exporting options for the format I'm trying to achieve for:
- Posting on Internet
- Viewing on computer
- And viewing on blu-ray
I really appreciate any help to the above questions. Big thanks!

Step 1: Capture settings are irrelevant for AVCHD on that camera. Just copy the entire folder structure intact to your hard drive. Pr will find the copied footage through the Media Browser panel. You may even be able to edit directly from the camera's HDD. You should try it and see.
Step 2: 1920x816 produces a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Assuming all of your action occurs in the exact vertical center of the shot, then you should crop 132 pixels from top and bottom. Placing your 1080 footage into a custom progressive sequence of those dimensions should get you what you want, as long as you don't have Default scale to frame size selected in Preferences.
Step 3: This is the tough one. To get 24 fps out of 30 fps, one frame out of every 5 needs to be dropped. This will produce perceptually jerky playback, especially if any motion at all is present. So the remaining frames must be blended together in some way to smooth out the bump where the missing frame is. Using AE to accomplish this is, IMHO, the best solution for an all-CS4 workflow. In AE, you have 2 choices: Frame Mix and Pixel Motion. PM produces better results, but FM renders faster. If you haven't done any editing of the clips in Pr yet, then the best idea would be to convert all of the footage in AE before importing it into Pr. If you've already got edits in place in Pr, then you can select all of the clips in the sequence and choose File | Adobe Dynamic Link | Replace with After Effects Composition. Either way, each clip in AE must be individually interpreted to Separate Fields/Preserve Edges. The comp settings must be set to 24p. Then Frame Blending must be enabled for the comp, and finally, each Frame Blending Layer Switch must be set to either Frame Mix or Pixel Motion. If you do use Dynamic Link, be sure to turn *off* Frame Blending in Pr, because AE has already taken care of that.
Step 4: Because rendering will be so intensive and take so long, I recommend exporting an intermediate file from Pr, then re-importing that file to be used as the source for the various export formats. Otherwise, you'll have to render all over again for each individual export format. For web, I recommend Flash. For computer viewing, it depends on your delivery method (CD, DVD, Download, External Hard Drive, Flash Drive, etc.). For Blu-ray, either H.264 Blu-ray or MPEG2 Blu-ray.

Solution for syncing iCal with Exchange2003

After two days searching and struggling, I finally have found a solution to sync iCal with Exchange 2003. Outlook 2011 for the Mac connected to an older Exchange 2003 server, gives imap email functionality, but no support for syncing calendars or address books. With DavMail running as gateway on your Mac, you can sync not only iCal, but also calendars on mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad.
Here I wrote how I did it: http://www.zweerscreatives.nl/?p=372

Dennis,
You can try a work around that allows you to sync tasks and contacts to outlook using an alternate profile in outlook.
Create a new 'dummy' profile (ie CRMOD) in Outlook. You will need to make up a fake email server settings or base it on the IMAP connection to Beehive.
Once you have created the dummy profile, add the .pst data file to your normal Beehive Profile, this will allow you to access the tasks, calendar and contacts in the CRMOD profile.
In the PIM Sync setup select your 'dummy' profile as the outlook profile to sync.
Your users will have two contact, task and calendar folders on thier outlook desktop, but some folks prefer to separate their contact files and tasks anyway. Outlook will display a unified set of tasks if you view 'To-Do List'
Make sure to check the 'Show this folder as an email address book' in the contact folder properties.
Hope this helps while you wait for the enhancement!
