Do you have suggestions for naming conventions within AIF?
Hi Folks!
Being new to AIF I'm currently in the information gathering phase for myself and colleagues as we are starting to think about implementing interfaces with the help of this toolbox. I already found and read (or at least skimmed!) through various of your discussions as well as the very helpful blog posts from Verena, Michal and Andrey.
One of the first things we want to do - before we really get started for real - is to come up with some feasible naming conventions for the various customizable bits and pieces like
Namespace
Interface Name
SAP Data Structure (if applicable?)
We also have some general questions:
Does it make sense to prepare for one namespace per SAP-module or is it better to have just one and do the separation on the Interface name "level"?
Is it preferred - even though SAP doesn't seem to enforce this - to start our own names with a "Z"?
Searching SCN for "naming convention aif" didn't find anything related and while scrolling through the discussion forum I also didn't see any titles which might go into this direction. In order for us to not re-invent the wheel - or to start off in the wrong direction - I'm hoping to get some helpful pointers from you.
Thanks much for any feedback you have!
Cheers from Germany

Hi Bärbel,
Your question is very good. We had the same and decided for following own approach:
Namespace
A Namespace is a concatenation of business process and SAP module, e.g. O2C_AR, P2P_AP, P2P_MM, R2R_GL.
We have one global namespace for global objects as checks on currency code, date format value mappings, etc.
Interface NameEvery interface has its own name. To be honest for inbound interface the names are more a user friendly description, for outbound we follow a little rule that they start with OUT_.
SAP Data Structure (if applicable?)
We try to do the structure mapping in the middle-ware and AIF is only responsible for the functional mappings.
The root structure name is different between raw data and SAP data. But the sub structure and field names are equal. Because of this we can use the move corresponding fields or in some only monitoring interfaces even move corresponding structures.
We also have some general questions:
Does it make sense to prepare for one namespace per SAP-module or is it better to have just one and do the separation on the Interface name "level"?Because AIF support and business users differ in different business processes we separated in these processes and modules. In addition the recipients groups are similar to the name spaces.
Is it preferred - even though SAP doesn't seem to enforce this - to start our own names with a "Z"?For namespaces (six characters) and interface names (10 characters) we don’t.
Best wishes
Christoph

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20 years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?
I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.
You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps. -

Do you have old for new service for Mac air?
Do you have old for new service for Mac air?
I believe you are asking if you can trade in an older model MacBook Air for a new one.
Apple does not take trade-ins; however, in the U.S., they do have a recycling program which offers Apple gift cards in exchange for older Apple computers.
You should be able to sell your older computer. -

Yes. Apple needs to create and maintain those separately and has chosen to charge separately.

HT4623 Do you have instructions for updating the iPad ios software in Vietnamese?
Do you have instructions for updating iPad IOS sofeware in Vienamese
I don't see any in Vietnamese on Apple's site. Perhaps if you do a web search for something like "updating iOS" and restrict the search engine to returning results in Vietnamese you'll find a third-party site with instructions.

I don't believe that Samsung ever made a driver for this model that worked in intel. Unfortunately, I think your printer is just too old. You can read here

Do you have adobe for pandigttal
Do you have adobe for pandigttal
I'll have to assume the question is whether or not Adobe Digital Editions
runs on Pandigital tablets or runs on a computer and supports Pandigital
tablets.
ADE is designed to run on personal computers under either a Windows or Mac
operating system environment. It does not run on any other device or
ereader - at least right now.
Some Pandigital ereaders are supported by ADE, and those have applications
running on them from Pandigital that provide the capability of reading
ebooks. THIS LINK
<http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices>lists which
ones are supported, and shows you that their 'Mobile Device eBook Reader'
application is what will provide that capability.
Hope this helps!
