DMS viewing when using both GUI and Portal front end

I have a requirement to be able to access and view documents in both the standard SAP GUI as well as from the portal via the PLM 7.0 web front end.  The issue is when the workstation application is defined as %VIEWER-CONTROL% % SAPPROVIS% I can view 2D (tif) images in the portal but am unable to view from the standard gui.   I am also having issues with JT and office documents from the portal side.  Does anyone have a link to a configuration guide as it relates to correct setting when configuring EHP4 items for the portal?

Hi,
based on your description and due to information from my colleagues I
can provide you the following suggestion and hope this is suitable for
you.
The way I see is that you maintain two separate workstation application
types one with setting which works in the SAP GUI
i.e. with the ECL Viewer
EAIWeb.webviewer3D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%
EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%
and one for the PLM WebUI with the settings for the embedded viewer
i.e. with Product Visualization Viewer %VIEWER-CONTROL%%SAPPROVIS%

  • Music volume keeps dropping on my iPhone 6 when using both headphones and AirPlay

    when playing music on my iPhone 6, sometimes the volume will drop for reason at all. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often, but when I'm driving and it dones happen, I can bearly hear it. It corrects itself completely at random too. Please help, it's an annoying problem.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • Page designer show small view when using page template and cannot be run

    Dear Experts,
    I need to make some page templates.
    I have build 2 simple page templates, let say template0 & template1 which template1 using template0.
    It show no any problem until I close my Jdeveloper & reopen it.
    When I reopen template1, it show so small in designer (Jdeveloper window).
    Is there any wrong?
    I have build another template, just 1 template.
    When I used it at the first time, no any strange behavior occur.
    After ... (I don't exactly when), it give me the same view in my designer.
    Then I force to use my first tempate (template1 which used template0 inside), I cannot run my application at all.
    After wait several minutes, I found error log in my log messages.
    *#### Server Instance DefaultServer could not be started: Server Instance was terminated.*
    Above the message, I found another error messages:

    Hi...
    Thanks for asking....
    As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
    <af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
    *<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
    I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
    Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
    Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.

  • How do I maintain print quality resolution when using both Lightroom and Photoshop?

    I usually edit only in LIghtroom, but in this recent photoshoot, the woman's skirt lining was peeking out and I need to photoshop it out.  When I try to do this and save it in Photoshop, the file size drops dramatically and I'm guessing the picture quality.  I also tried to right-click on the picture in Lightroom and choose "Edit in" photoshop, but Photoshop told me I couldn't use the clone tool unless I changed from 16 bit color depth to 8 bit because it had limited support for 16 bit.  I know there has to be a way to do this.  Any ideas?  By the way, I am using LIghtroom 3.6 and an old Photoshop Elements 5.0.

    I am not completely convinced that your Premiere Elements 7 project settings are not at the core of your problems.
    1. You say that you have 1280 x 720 at X progressive frames per second (probably .mov) from a Canon camera and presumed 1920 x 1080 16:9 .mts @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (aka 60i). What are you setting as the project preset in the new project dialog? Are you just OK'd it and accepting the default which would be NTSC DV Standard (720 x 480)?
    2. As for versions 11 and 12 helping you out with an automatic project preset, sometimes it does it OK and sometimes it does not. So, that feature is not a given cure all for an inappropriate project preset. Whatever the Premiere Elements version, you need to know the properties of your source media and set the project preset accordingly or make sure the program is doing it right. And, when you have a Timeline with a mixed of formats, you need to set priorities.
    Is the .mov and .mts both affected by the issue or just one?
    Three things to look at:
    a. The quality of just the 1280 x 720 in a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    HDV
    HDV 720p30
    b. The quality of just the1920 x 1080 in a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080p30
    c. Then look at the quality of both brought into a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080p30
    Please consider. And, if you decide to check out the above, please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

    Hello. Since my last firefox update, I have been unable to type an email - the box within which one would usually type does not appear when I press 'reply' to a received email, or press 'compose'. The email provider is '123-reg.co.uk. I have been using both firefox and the provider ['webfusion Ltd/webmail123] successfully for well over a year. The provider says it is a browser problem. I can still add an attachment to the email header, which successfully can be sent, but the recipient gets my standard email 'signature' with font messages and the attachment. Can anyone help? My email addresses are [email protected] [this is the one with the issue] and [email protected] in English

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I have an Apple computer, use both Firefox and Safari browsers, use Comcast for my email. Lately, when on Firefox, my email is not functioning properly. Why?

    I have an Apple computer, use both Safari and Firefox browsers. I use both Apple mail and Comcast for my email. Lately, when in Firefox, my email does not work properly. I get a message "your servers license has expired". While I can usually access my emails I cannot delete unwanted emails. This problem does not happen when I use Safari and Apple mail. Is this a Firefox issue or Comcast? Do you know what license expiration refers to?

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • No style applied when using light framework and WPC content

    Hi,
    Iu2019m facing a strange behavior, and Iu2019m almost pretty sure that is an error in the WPC, but I decided to post it here, maybe someone can confirm it. When using both, Light Framework and WPC, for some reason, the text inserted in the WPC containers, using the Web Forms, doesnu2019t appear correctly (no style/font applied), but viewing the same information, using the Default Framework Page, it works correctly.
    Any hint?
    Thanks and Regards,
    John

    Hi,
    The reason why I decide to use Light Framework, itu2019s because Iu2019m creating an EFP, and Iu2019m using the WPC to publish the content (articles, news, and link list), using the standard Web Forms.
    The problem is, after adding to a WPC Page something so simple like an article (using the Web Form Article), no Portal iView, HTMLB or other stuff included, the preview of the WPC Page using the Default Framework Page is ok, but when using the Light Framework Page, the text in the article doesnu2019t have the correct font-family. It looks like there are some styles missing in the Light Framework Page, that WPC content is expecting.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213039(v=sql.80).aspx
    http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Adm/SQL70Locks.htm

    http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/03/using_mssqls_nolock_for_faster_queries.html
        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 400 Printer unable to print docs using both letter and legal paper

    HELP!!  Have been using an HP Laserjet Pro 400 M425dn dual tray printer for 2 years, along with a Dell laptop.  Always had ability to send documents to print using both letter and legal size paper.  Under print set-up on laptop, the option checked was always set to "Choose Paper Source by PDF Paper Size".  Now I've just purchased an HP Envy All-in-One Desktop, which does not offer that option under Print Set-Up.  While it allows for 'Auto Selection' of paper size, you are required to choose either letter or legal size paper.  I've called tech support 3 times, the latest call earlier this am, only to be disconnected.  Yesterday I was told that I should go on hp/support and update drivers.  My husband downloaded drivers, but still no fix.  Unless this issue is resolved asap, I will have no option but to return this Envy Desktop, as I cannot run my business without this option.
    Anyone have a similar problem?  How was it resolved?

    The available options will (probably) be determined by the printer driver in use.
    This , in turn, will be determined partly by which Operating System and version you are using.
    Once a printer model has been out in the field for some time (generally when the next generation (or two?) of devices has been announced to supersede it) that model becomes a 'legacy' device, and 'full-specification' printer drivers may no longer be supplied by the printer manufacturer, but basic (i.e. without too many options) drivers will (probably) instead be supplied with the operating system.

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

  • On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • Linking Access tables, creating a query with using both Access and Oracle

    Hello,
    I am using 3.0.04.34 version Oracle Developer. I am supposed to create a script/procedure to use both Access tables and oracle tables together. There is an option in developer to copy the access tables into oracle. But it doesn't help me. Because when we updated the access tables
    the copied ones are not be updated. How can I created a linked access tables to oracle and create a query with using both access and oracle table together.
    I will appreciate if you guys help me. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
    Thanks,
    Pinar

    Pinar,
    to be able to query MS Access tables in Oracle you need an additional product, the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. It allows you to link any foreign database into an Oracle database using a suitable ODBC driver. You can then access the MS Access tables through a database link based on the Database Gateway for ODBC. This will also allow you to join local Oracle and remote MS Access tables from your Oracle database.
    There's a note on My Oracle Support which gives you more details:Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
    And there's also a dedicated Forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity

  • Does anyone use both iPhoto and Aperture

    I just got an mac book pro and I am trying to decide what to do with my iPhoto library that is on my old G4 eMac. I'm wondering if the best (and safest) plan would be to transfer that library to the new machine, bring it into iPhoto and then import the entire library into Aperture.
    On second thought I wondered if it would be a good idea to leave everything in iPhoto and just open images in Aperture only when I want the extra editing tools... using Aperture for keeping all the "prime" photos and iPhoto for snap shots and iPhone pictures.
    And... is it even possible to import the library from another machine directly into Aperture?
    Thanks in advance,
    bd

    Pick one and stick with it. They don't actually integrate very much.
    Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
    The only communication between the two is as follows:
    Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
    Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
    That's it.
    So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
    So if you decide to try this:
    using Aperture for keeping all the "prime" photos and iPhoto for snap shots and iPhone pictures.
    You'll end up using two apps to manage two different sets of photos, with twice the complications. Aperture is not an "external editor" and can't be used as such.
    Think: Writing your novel in Word and TextEdit at the same time. "I'll write this chapter in Word, this paragraph in TE and then back to word..."
    What of you wanted to sync your Photos back to your Phone? Which library will you use? You can't use both.
    And... is it even possible to import the library from another machine directly into Aperture?
    The routine would be to move the Library to the new machine and them process it into Aperture. Then trash the unwanted iPhoto Library.

  • Using both iPhoto and Aperture workflow help

    I am using both aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 to edit and keep track of images
    I imported images to iPhoto the have Aperture import the iPhoto library this way I have i library..I know if something happens to it I am screwed
    1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
    2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
    3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
    4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program

    Here's the best advice for using both iPhoto and Aperture:
    Pick one horse and ride it. They both do the same job. If you're shooting Raw or high volumes of Jpeg, then definitely go with Aperture. If you're doing family snaps with a point and shoot stick with iPhoto. Using both adds unnecessary complexity to everything, and with complexity comes the risk of error and data loss.
    1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
    Yes. In a wholly different way, mind you, but yes. WHen you edit an image in iPhoto it creates a new file called the Modified Version. You can always revert to the Original photo. If you edit only with iPhoto then you can also avoid generational loss.
    2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
    No.
    3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
    You can't.
    4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program
    It makes no sense to use both programs.
    Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.

    What are you hoping to achieve by running both?
