Diffs between Win 3.11 & NT 4.0

Greetings,
I have recently come across an issue that I am not sure how to go about
solving...:
We have a Forté application whose windows were developed/painted on
Windows 3.11. Our client is now switching to NT 4.0, and suddenly our
windows look bigger on the new operating system... The problem becomes
pretty painful in windows where the client has fixed size window
requirement.
For example, if a window is 512x512 pixels (fixed), and it contains a
nested
window, the contents of this nested window are now partially not visible
because this nested window is now bigger than the panel in which it is
supposed to reside.
The windows were all developed on Windows 3.11, running at 1024x768
resolution, using large fonts. Moreover, all the Forté windows were
painted
using the portable font IconLabel, size 8, bold, which is provided as part
of
Forté.
We are now trying to run the application (same exact windows) on NT 4.0,
using the same resolution and font size as those on 3.11, but everything
looks BIGGER! Has anyone encountered this problem? How have you dealt
with it? How do you get around these differences? And repainting the
windows
is NOT an option here... ;-)
Your help is GREATLY appreciated in this matter.
Thanks.
Elias.

    Elias.We saw the same sort of sizing problems moving from Windows 95 to NT
    3.51. Part of the problem is that when you use fonts such as "Icon
    Font" or "System Default" you can't guarentee that one OS' default fonts
    are going to be the same as another's. And as you know, that's one of
    the big changes in the interface from Win 3.1 / NT 3.x to Win 95 / NT
    4.x. That fact that "Icon Font" is "portable" simply means that the OS
    will have SOMETHING called an icon font - what that font actually is or
    how big it appears isn't assured. Fortunately in our case we discovered
    the problem early on and avoided it by avoiding multiple versions of
    Windows; obviously that's not an option for you since you're upgrading
    after the fact. Sorry I can't be of more help.....

    Thanks for those of you who responded to my questions.
    All of our windows ARE gridded. But the common thing that you all
    suggested which we didn't have was using the Default Font. We
    used IconLabel instead. The reason behind that decision was our
    impression that IconLabel is a font that is provided by Forté and that
    would ensure that all Client machines will ultimately have it. Was that
    an incorrect assumption?
    We thought that since our windows are gridded and they all used a
    Forté provided portable font, we should NOT run into these problems.
    The reason we did not use the Default Font was because this font
    may differ from one machine to another. A user can actually have
    their machine use a different font than the default...
    We have come to the conclusion that we'll have to change the fonts
    on our windows. But I'd like a clarification on my 2 assumptions above:
    1) Shouldn't IconLabel (a Forté provided portable font) not cause this
    problem?
    2) Can't the Default Font be different from one machine to another?
    Thanks for your help!

  • How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?

    How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?
    The clients can connect and talk to the server fine, but how can I make the server talk to one, two or all clients? i.e. what would be a good way to implement this?
    Currently, the server listens for connections like this:
    while (listening) {
    try {
    new ServerThread(this, serverSocket.accept()).start();
    I guess one way would be to add the ServerThreads to a Hashtable with the client ID as key, and then get the ServerThread with the proper client ID, but this seems unnecessary complicated. Any ideas?

    Complicated was perhaps the wrong word, I should have
    written something like it doesn't "feel" right. Or is
    this a common and good way to solve communication
    between a server and multiple clients?Thats pretty much how I do it. I normally use an array or ArrayList of Sockets instead of HashTable, with [0] being the first player etc.... Then you can communicate with exactly who you want. If you want to send bytes to all of them, just send the same thing to each socket individually (or is there a better way to do this?).

  • In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

    hello all
    In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

    Hi Swamy,
    The differences between IDoc and BAPI are as follows: 
    IDOC
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system.
    Idocs are processed asynchronously and no information whatsoever is returned to the client.
    The target system need not be always online. The IDOC would be created and would send the IDOC once the target system is available (tRFC concept). Hence supports guaranteed delivery.
    With asynchronous links the sub-process on the client can be finished even if the communication line or the server is not available. In this case the message is stored in the database and the communication can be done later.
    The disadvantage of asynchronous links is that the sub-process on the server cannot return information to the calling sub-process on the client. A special way for sending information back to the client is required. In addition, a special error handling mechanism is required to handle errors on the receiving side.
    IDOCs may be more changeable from release to release.
    IDOCs  are poorly documented.
    BAPI
    BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
    BAPIs are called synchronously and (usually) return information.
    For BAPIs the client code needs to do the appropriate error handling.
    Problems with synchronous links occur if the communication line or the server is temporarily not available. If this happens, the sub-process on the client cannot be finished (otherwise there would be data inconsistencies).
    Synchronous links have the advantage that the sub-process on the server can return values to the sub-process on the client that has started the link.
    BAPIs are not totally immune to upgrades.
    BAPIs are reasonably well documented.
    Reward points if useful.

  • Diff between programme BBP_GET_STATUS_2  & CLEAN_REQREQ_UP in SRM7.0

    Hi Experts ,
    We have ECC6.04 with SRM 7.0 with Classic Scenarion
    I am confused over exactly what BBP_GET_STATUS_2  do in SRM ?
    I believe CLEAN_REQREQ_UP  update the SC with follow on document i..e Classic PO....
    and BBP_GET_STATUS_2  update the entries in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB..but not getting exactly what is does..since if we change qty in Classic Po ..it automatically updates automatically  in SC follow on document...if we Craete GR in ECC it updates automatically  in SC follow on document...
    Can anyone please suggest me exactly what BBP_GET_STATUS_2  do in SRM  ( what is exact  diff between both )?
    Thanks
    NAP

    Hello,
    Report : BBP_GET_STATUS_2
    Function : This reports updates the  requirement coverage requests (Shopping carts) to ensure that information on the status of backedn purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations is up-to-date.
    You should schedule this report to run daily in the SRM server system.
    Report : CLEAN_REQREQ_UP
    Function : Interval for update check.
    Updating of documents (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, reservations) is executed asynchronously in the backend system. You can only process the requirement coverage request in the SRM server system further after the update has been carried out. At the interval defined by you in Customizing, the system checks whether the documents have been updated and thus if you can further process the requirement coverage request.You should schedule this report periodically.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards,
    Rahul

  • Diff between Thin client and Rich client

    Hi Everyone,
              Can someone give me a clear picture of the what is the diff between Thin client and Rich client.
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    thick client (rich client) has/stores all the data inside itself
    so it can do application processing without the server with data
    thin client uses resources from host computer (from server)
    and wihtout that you are not able to work with that kind of client
    does that answer your question ?

  • Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

    Hi All,
             My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by  File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
    Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
    I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
    Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
    Xier

    Hi
    You are aware with working of File Adapter.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
    1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
    5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Have a look here,

  • Diff. between Tax Code and Condition Types

    Hi,
    What is the diff. between Tax Code and Condition Type???
    Why we maintain Tax Codes under Invoice Tab in PO, when Condition Types are available for Calculation Procedure...???
    Please guide..

    hi..
    Tax code : Tax code in some what more specific for calculating the tax...some material is having 2% tax..some having 3 % tax..etc..and these are input tax...so..these tax code will be of type input tax..
    now..based on the nature of tax type amount will be calculated....
    suppose tax code is calculation of 2 condtion type so ..we can do it in tax code conditon record fv11 also..
    so..tax code can be a combination of cond type...
    where as through cond type also we can also achieve this..by using one statistical cond type...
    Cond Type :  cond type is for the daily pricing configuration..how system will calculate the price for a centain material we can make define the rules here...
    Try this out..

    Static Tables Creation In oracle & Diff Between Static table ,Dynamic tableAll tables in a well designed application should be static tables.
    Whilst it's possible to execute dynamic code and therefore create tables dynamically at run time, this is considered poor design and should be avoided in 99.99% of cases... though for some reason some people still think they need to do this, and it's never really justified.
    So what issue are you facing that you need to even bother considering dynamic tables?

  • Diff.between Taxinn& taxinj

    hi sap guru's
    can anybody give me exect diff .between Taxinn& taxinj ?which is good? and why? give me at least  2 to 3 point
    in TAXINN  where we creat tax code execept FTXP
    regard's

    TAX INN
    If you are using  TAXINN procedure you have to maintain separate condition record in tcode :FV11
    JM01
    JM02 etc
    While creating purchase order  the tax will be flowing based on the condition record
    For all the vendor the same taxes are applicable.
    currently TAXINN is commonly used
    TAXINJ
    In this procedure you have to maintain taxcode in FTXP.
    while creating P.O taxes will be flowing from the Taxcode.
    Say for Example
    V1-16 %Excise duty+4%VAT +Cess
    V2-8 %Excise Duty 4% VATCess
    For the same vendor you can use either the taxcode V1 (or) V2

    Hi,
    Open Item :- Select this tick if you want to see all individual line items that makes the total of the account. By selecting this tick you will be able to see both open and cleared items. GR/IR accounts should be managed on open item basis.
    Line Item:- Tick this if you want to see the balance of an account by individual postings.  Generally Revenue & Expense accounts should be managed on line item basis.

    hi,
    Physical inventory number
    Specify a number or name under which several inventory documents can be grouped together for improved processing
    Reference Number for Physical Inventory
    Specify the number of a document outside the system that relates to an inventory transaction.
    means if you are using MI01 then you have to maintain the data in mi04  . but you are using mi09 no need to maintain the datad directly you are go through with mi07 for posting the differences.
    thanking you.
