Dynamic/Static and Accessibility

Hi,
Firstly, I apologize if I've posted in the wrong forum.
I have two pdf's created by LiveCycle. One is static which supports accessibility and one is dynamic which does not. My question is, is there a way to get a dynamic pdf to support accessibility or does it's "dynamic" nature preclude this?
Thanks in advance
Phil Knight.

The accessibility is not affected by form type. Are you relying on Acrobat's accessibility or are you setting up the accessibility in LC Designer?

I have an Adobe Flash Professionals digital classroom book and was following all steps easily until it ask me to select the text tool and change it from classic to tfl in the property inspector. I looked and all that drops down is dynamic, static, and input. Where is the TFL and Classic ? I watched adobe learning center but he was using CS5. Can anyone please help?

Hi,
Do you use Flash CS6 to follow the instructions in the classroom book? If yes, then you can find it under text drop down for an AS3 Document as shown below
If you follow the instruction in Flash CC or Flash CC2014 then you will not find this option as this is deprecated.
Thanks!

Mixing static and dynamic content in a single outputText value causes NPEs

Hi,
I am having a problem and I'm wondering if it is a result of my error or if this is a bug.
I am mixing dynamic and static content in the value attribute of tags (e.g., outputText). On initial page load, everything works fine. However, if the same view is reloaded (e.g., after a failed validation) I get an NPE from JSF:

If it matters, I'm using the reference implementation version 1.1 (as included with NetBeans 5.5RC2) on SuSE 10.0 w/ JDK 1.5_09.
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, that's how I originally had it, but then changed it to the outputText approach since a single tag could do what I wanted, as long as I was allowed to mix static and dynamic content within a single value.
I think this is a bug in JSF 1.1, since if what I am doing is illegal, it should throw an exception on the first page view, not work on first view and throw an exception on subsequent views. I'm guessing that this has something to do with the fact that on first page view it only runs the restore view and render response JSF phases, while on subsequent requests all of the phases will be run, and it's in one of those other phases that the exception is thrown.
For now, multiple tags is the work-around, I guess.
Thanks,
Bill

Credit Management: Difference Between Static and Dynamic Credit Check

Hi,
Could anyone tell the difference Between Static and Dynamic Credit Check?
According to website: http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/sd/difference-between-static-and-dynamic-credit-check.htm ... this is the answer:
====================
Simple Credit Check : Tr.Code - FD32
It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
Doc.Value : Sales Order Has been saved but not delivered
Open Item : Sales Order has been saved , Delivered, Billed & Transfered to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delievered
2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
4) Open Item : Which is transfered to FI but not received from the customer.
Dynamic Credit Check         1) Open Doc
                                            2) Open Delivery
                                            3) Open Billing
                                            4) Open Items
                                            5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
Here the System will not consider the above 1, 2, 3 & 4 values for the lost 3 months.
====================
Question 1: Could you further explain the above information, if there is any?
Question 2:: What is the Tcode to customize settings of:
a) Simple Credit Check (isn't this same with b) below?)
b) Static Credit Check
c) Dynamic Credit Check

Hi Tanish,
Diff between Static and Dynamic Filters.
Example One at report Level.
Create a variable for a Infoobject say ,Material .
1)In the Query Designer and if u restrict it to some 10 materials at query level, the report will display for only those 10 materials only.This is Static Filter.UR AHrdcoding it to those materials.You cant change them at Query Run time.i.e not changeable by user.
2)If u give the variable as input ,and when u run the query ,u can can choose the material,may 10 may be 1 or may 20 .It is dynamic.Changeable by user at run time
Example Two at DTP and Start Routine Level,say Document Type.
1)If u give filters in Start routine it is Static as u cannot change it in Production,not changeable by user.
2)f u give filters in DTP it is Dyanamic as u can change it in Production.U can give any doc type,Changeable by user at run time.
Hope it is Understood.

Perform static and dynamic check together on a customer?

Hello All,
Is it possible to perform static and dynamic check together on a customer?
I believe standard SAP does not allow both options together.
The scenario is: My client has customer who orders products 1 year in advance and create sales order with a future delivery date. The customer might have balance due on their account which is close to the credit limit. As a result the sale order should be blocked as if the automatic credit check is "Static". This would allow our customer service to call the customer and arrange for the payments.
Then 11 months later, a dynamic check should be performed on the customer to make sure the past due is under the credit limit. If the past due is over credit limit, the sales order must be blocked for delivery as if the credit check was "Dynamic" with 30 days horizon. This would again give our customer service time to settle the payment with the customer.
If anyone has implemented such a scenario, can you please give me an overview of how you did it?
Thanks very much in advance and Text Removed.
With Regards,
AM

Please dont include this text

Static and Dynamic Cannot be Performed together. They are mutually exclusive events.
Credit check can be performed either at Sale order level or at Delivery / PGI Level.
FCV3 is a good report to see whether a customer would fail a credit check. ( suitable for your customer service )
Coming to your Point , Assuming that the customer is eligible for a Credit of 50 Lacs. Now the Customer has placed an order for 60 Lacs. We set the Customer credit checking at order level . The Customers Sale order would get blocked.
The Customer service will follow up for the payment and see to it that it is made. Assume the customer has made a payment for 70 Lacs.
Now let us have a look at the account statement of the customer.
Account Statement : Customer Cr : 70 Lacs. Dr : 0. ( because no delivery and invoice so far has been made )
So we are supposed to deliver the Material worth value of 60 Lacs.
The First sale order worth 60 Lacs has been unblocked in VKM3. Now at the time of Delivery level why would you want to chekc the Credit limit again ? It has already passed the credit check.
It is not necessary to check credit limit . Because you have already performed the same at the order level.
Now the customer has come again and raised another sale order for 80 Lacs. The System would block him.
The system will never block the Previous delivery which you are, due for delivery to the customer.
If we keep on checking the Credits without delivering we would end up only raising in Sale orders and no Delivery to the Customer at all. The Debit side of his account will always be 0.
So i donot think Static and dynamic is needed . you can go for either Static or Dynamic.

I tried to install windows 7 in my macbook pro late 2011 but i tried to create partions after it installed and it turn to dynamic disks and ican't access mac or win 7 what should I do i cant format it because i dont have a backup

I tried to install windows 7 in my macbook pro late 2011 but i tried to create partions after it installed and it turn to dynamic disks and i can't access mac or win 7 what should I do i cant format it because i dont have a backup

It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

Selecting both static and dynamic values in a report.

Hello,
I am using the following LOV for a select list in a form based on another post (Re: Static and Dynamic LOV ordering
It is presenting five static values along with a dynamic LOV.
select d, r
from (select n, d, r
from (select 1 as n, 'NAME_A' d, 1 r
from dual
union all
select 1 as n, 'NAME_B' d, 2 r
from dual
union all
select 1 as n, 'NAME_C' d, 3 r
from dual
union all
select 1 as n, 'NAME_D' d, 4 r
from dual
union all
select 1 as n, 'NAME_E' d, 5 r
from dual
union all
select 2 as n,
(LNAME || ', ' || FNAME || ' (' ||
to_char(DOB, 'MM/DD/YYYY') || ')') display_value,
ID return_value
from my_name_table)
ORDER BY n, r asc)
The static display and return values do not exist in my_name_table, but the static return values are recorded in my_main_table when the user submits the form.
The tables look like this:
my_main_table:
record_id
name_id
my_name_table:
name_id
fname
lname
How can I present the display values associated with the static return values recorded in my_main_table along with the dynamic display values in a report? I am currently presenting the dynamic portion in a report using the following select statment:
select
(my_name_table.LNAME||', '||my_name_talbe.FNAME) AS Name
from my_name_table
WHERE my_main_table.NAME_ID = my_name_table.NAME_ID
I have the additional problem that the static return values are not in my_name_table so the join in the last statement will not find the static values in my_name_table.
Edited by: mterlesky on Feb 24, 2009 9:51 AM

1. You will need to add an outer join to return all the values in the Main table.
2. Then decode the values for the static LOV.
Something like (this is not tested, but should give you the idea)
select
decode(my_main_table.NAME_ID,1,'NAME_A',2,'NAME_B',3,'NAME_C',4,'NAME_D',5,'NAME_B',(my_name_table.LNAME||', '||my_name_talbe.FNAME)) AS Name
from my_name_table
WHERE my_main_table.NAME_ID = my_name_table.NAME_ID(+)
This will all break if any of your static LOV ID values clash with your dynamic LOV ID values.
I am now going to give you a long lecture about hard coding values ..... ;)

What does mean You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form?

Hi guys,
If you check the official documentation for Smart forms in the Internet you will read that the initial pharagraphs of the text tell you "Tables - You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed". The link is the following: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
I was wondering if this means that I can use field symbols with dynamical number of columns to print a smart form. Because it would be great since the customer wanted a dynamical report depending on the week day it was (If Monday, there was only 12 columns, but if Friday, it will be 52 columns (1 column more for every day elapsed in the current week)). I had to create 5 different forms, but I think using field symbols I had spent less effort. Do you know if it is really possible? If not, then what does mean "You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form"?
Thank you in advance

Hi ,
The concept of static and dynamic tables in smartforms, means you can use template- ( static table as no of rows and columns is fixed). Also you can use table- dynamic as the no of rows will depend on your line items.
Hope this will help you to close this thread.
Also, try to find this answer in posted forums. Creating a new forum everytime just increases the network traffic. So please try to avoid it.

My IPad 4th Gen speaker has turned to static. I did a reset, checked the sound and accessibility settings. Any other ideas?

My IPad 4th gen now has static on sound. I've done reset and checked sound controls and accessibility. Help?

A hard reset has been known to remedy this problem.
You might want to detail when the static happens. All the time? Only when you insert the mini jack? With specific software or volume?

AT0 : static and dynamic processing

dear guru ,
whose are the differences in assembly to order with planned
order between static and dynamic processing ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Static assembly processing :
If you create a sales order for a material with the 'assembly processing' technique, the system carries out an availability check for the components needed for the assembly and creates a single procurement element in the background.
The procurement element is assigned to the sales order directly. The number of the procurement element is determined in the sales order.
Dynamic assembly Processing :
If you create a sales order for a material with the 'assembly processing' technique, the system carries out an availability check for the components needed for the assembly. Depending on the results of the availability check, either one or several procurement elements are created. The quantity for a one-time delivery and/or the next possible deadline for a full delivery and/or a delivery proposal with then ext possible deadline are displayed on the availabililty control screen.
During dynamic assembly processing, you can not change the quantities and deadlines. You can, however, select the 'fix date and quantity' field, if necessary. The 'check scope' and 'other plants' functions are not available here.
The procurement element numbers are not saved in the sales order. The link between the procurement element and the sales order is created using the number of the individual stage (sales order number/item). For this reason, it is possible to carry out another availability check taking into account incoming stock and additional, manually entered procurement elements.
In Requirements class definition (OVZG), The assembly type indicator determines:
- Which procurement element is created
- Whether a 1:1 link exists between the sales order and the procurement element (static procedure) or whether a loose link exists with the option of splitting dates and quantities (dynamic procedure).
In the case of static assembly order processing, you make the changes to the production order directly from the sales order.
In the case of dynamic assembly order processing, you must call the production orders separately.

Can I connect an externa hard drive and access files from 2 or more computers wirelessly?

Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to my linksys modem and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers?
I have a wireless G wrt54G modem working on windows XP a desktop and laptop on my home system. I have a WD “my book” external hard drive with a usb interface. My modem does not have a USB interface.
At work I also have 4 laptops using XP and vista and looking to have them all access an external hard drive and printers. I have not selected a hard drive for the work system.
If yes can I add 2 or more printers and print form all connected computers?
If yes, is it possible to access the files of the external hard drive (home system) via the internet?
Thanks in advance for all your help

First, your WRT54G is a router, not a modem. Different function.
Yes, you can "connect an external hard drive... and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers," just not that external hard drive. You need one that supports network attachment, with an ethernet connection.
And you can print to printers from various computer, again if the printers are made to support that.
The answer to your last question is maybe. Oh, it's definitely possible, but may require learning about static IP addresses, dynamic DNS, firewalls, port forwarding, file sharing...

Difference between dynamic report and template

I think the subject line covers it, I am trying to find out, that when I save the report, I can save it as static or dynamic report or as a template. but what is the diff between dynamic report and template?
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
SAP provides some standard templates as report templates. The users are provided with the option to save their own versions of reports as 'Report Templates' for future use. As a super user one could create a custom template and save to the template library which the other users could access from the template library.
For example if you have 'ACCOUNT' drilldown as a standard report template, you could define a new template as for example, 'Entity' drilldown template.
Hope it is clear now.
Thanks,

Row Level Security using BO SDK - Dynamic Group and Criteria (where clauses)

To the Universe Gurus out there:
I have a rather daunting task of implementing a Row Level Security on a number of tables within our project using BO XI R2 SP2 with SQLServer 2005. Given the nature of the requirements around this (listed below), I am going to go with BO SDK to accomplish the creation of Restrictions. That said, I need some insight into some of the problem areas I have listed below. Any help is much appreciated.
Background:
We have 11 tables that are to be restricted.
Each table is accessible to potentially 1..* group of users only.
For eg SALES is accessible to ALL_SALES members only.
Each row within each table is accessible to 1..* groups of users only. The restriction will occur on 2 columns Jurisdiction and LineID on SALES table.
For eg
1)Rows with NY Jurisdiction and LineID=123 are accessible to NY_SALES_ADMIN group only initially.
2)NY_ADMIN will then approve that the above rows be open to NY_SALES_INTERNAL group only. This approval in turn will call upon the BO SDK to add a new restriction for the group with appropriate where clause.
3)At a later point, the above rows will be opened to NY_SALES_EXTERNAL group also.
This same concept holds good a number of jurisdiction (more or less static) and a dynamic number of LineIDs. So, if 10000 rows of data corresponding to new LineID 999 and Jurisdiction AK are in the table now, they are initially accessible only to AK_SALES_ADMIN group only. No one else should be able to access it.
Results:
1) With the way I laid out the business rules above, I am ending up with 528 groups.
2) There is a restriction created for a unique combination of Jurisdiction and LineID for each table.
Problems/Questions:
How can I restrict access to the new rows to one group only. I know that I can let a certain group only look at certain data but how can I restrict that all others cannot look at the same.
AK_SALES_ADMIN can look at LineID=999 and Jurisdiction='AK'.
Do I use an Everyone group based restriction? If so, my Everyone group will end up with tons of restrictions. How will they be resolved in terms of priority.
Am I even thinking of this the right way or is there a more noble way to do this?
Regards

the connectinit setting should look something like this:
declare a date; begin vpd_setup('@VARIABLE('BOUSER')'); Commit; end;
The vpd_setup procedure (in Oracle) should look like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure vpd_setup (p_user varchar)IS
BEGIN
DBMS_SESSION.set_vpd( 'SESSION_VALUES', 'USERID', p_user );
END vpd_setup;
Then you can retrieve the value of the context variable in your vpd functions
and set the vpd.
