Hi Suren,
AS-IS
you must interact closely with the super users and process owners for collecting requirements based on the Q&A db to understand their current business process like how they manufacture the parts, what steps they use for planning, production execution etc and what legacy systems or interfaces do they use and try to document all this information in the AS-IS processes either using flowcharts etc and get the sign off from the business process owners this is current business process WITHOUT SAP in place
TO-BE
This is what the business client intends to achieve in future WITH SAP implemented, so basically in this analysis, you need to identify what are the business processes that will run using SAP and how SAP will be managing thier day-to day activities and performing SAP Transactions. you also need o document it using either flowcharts and get a sign-off from the process owners as this will be the foundation based on which you will proceed further and develop your blueprint document and also start your realization activities
GAP
it is nothing but the difference between the AS-IS AND TO-BE analysis and here you identify the new changes or gaps between the business process without SAP and with SAP in place, it includes what types of configurations changes you need to make and developments and interfaces that will be needed to bridge the gap between the current state and the future state of business with SAP in place.
Examples of reports not in standard SAP, developments, application of user exits etc.., come under GAP
based on these three steps you then proceed to prepare your business blueprint document
Reward if useful and close the thread

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...

"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC" ...not really.

Hi guys,
My Flash CC crashes all the time, it's always been doing it since when I started using it on CS4, and I've somewhat given up on this bug being fixed, it crashes at least 20-30 times every document I create. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch tablet and drawing a lot, I think the problem is that it can't handle this much drawing.
Anyways, it just crashed and for the first time after reopening I found this nice message from Flash:
"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC.
Please click here for further details."
Excited, I clicked on it! At last, a solution! Amazing!
...but it just points to http://www.adobe.com/
... I don't understand.
What's happening? I'm genuinely puzzled.
Also, anybody else experiencing frequent crashes?
Thanks!
Ciao!

Yes, this is not good -- you're already mad when it crashes, then "We found a solution!" But, for me clicking on the link does nothing - no link even to adobe, just a tease - nothing opens.
It's bad enough crashing a couple times a day and losing work (I do save every chance I get), but then to get taunted with this bogus message, it's discouraging and exactly the best 'user experience' for a really expensive product from company that is all about helping professionals create good design/user experience ..
I like the way this is headed though! it just doesn't work right now.

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords? i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

I found sort of a work around. I still have Logic Pro 9. It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved. So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

Functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report

i want to show the functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report designed for plant maintenace module..how should i add a field in the report which already contains the order , material and equipment no ?..just have to add a field functional location in that report. Can anyone plzz tellme from which table should i fetch the data .?

From EQUI get the recent/valid EQUZ record.
From EQUZ get the ILOA record.
ILOA holds the TPLNR for the equipment.
And from ILOA you can get IFLOT.
edit: just noticed you can use V_EQUI as well.

Airport Extreme- anybody have a workaround for the lack of Wake on LAN ?

I've read in a number of places that the Airport Extreme (and other Apple routers) don't allow for the standard Wake on LAN packet to wake a sleeping Mac.
Does anybody know of a workaround for the Airport Extreme that might allow for waking a sleeping Mac on the LAN remotely ?
Thanks,

Better workaround for the whine problem

I have discovered a workaround for the commonly reported electronic whine in the MacBook Pro.
As most will know, if you open PhotoBooth and run it in the background it will get rid of the whine. I also noticed that the same worked in ANY application that uses the iSight.
So, looking around the Apple website for widgets I stumbled across this . . . .
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/webcams/mirror.html
It solves the problem!!!!! Runs in the background, in the Dashboard, takes up no resources also!!

Tom

Didn't read that whole thread on the issue did you?
It also kills your battery life.
The issue I don't believe is related to the CPU directly but is related to the overall power drain on the system..it seems anything that causes the system to use more power 'solves' the problem.

Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?

I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440
pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow
presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than
2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?
I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale
the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using
Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in
Players 8+.
Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large
monitors?
Thanks in advance,
- Frank

The problem here is the legacy flash document size constraint of 2880 x 2880 pixels. Why is this limitation still in place? Most screen have landscape orientation and we have this square constraint that turns out to be a waste if you are developing for larger screen displays and anything that is 4:3 or 16:9. Something does not add up here. What if someone needs to make a dual wide screen HD show that measured 3840 x 1080 pixels? We can do setup documents at 3840 x 1080 pixels in PowerPoint, PDF, Silverlight (at least this is what I have read regarding Silverlight), but not in Flash. Why not?
If Flash is a platform… then it needs to spread its wings a bit and embrace all the potential uses that are non-web. Flash represents multimedia delivery to millions, but shackling it to the 2880 x 2880 pixel limitation for a document size is problem for many people now and looming for those working toward have the flash engine as a core component in media delivery. At least give us a dual Wide screen monitor resolution of 3840 x 1080 pixels instead of a square of 2880 x 2880 pixels – which no one really uses (at least I have not seen any sqaure screens lately). Hey, if Adobe decided to shave off on the unused pixels from the 2880 height (2880 – 1080 = 1800) of the format you get an additional 1800 pixels that could applied where it is needed – to the width of the document size… giving us a 4680 x 1080 pixel document. This could then be used for immersive simulation, game situations, and real-world wide-screen experiences.
Sorry I don't have an answer, just the same question. "Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?"

FR Studio - Is there a workaround for the issue with referencing data from a grid with a different DB connection and different # of dimensions?

Hi,
I am trying to reference a column in a different grid with a different database connection. I did some research in the forums, and it seems like this is a known issue with FR Studio. The issue is that if the 2 different database connections have different # of dimensions, then the reference will throw an error.
For example, what I'm trying to do is below:
In grid2.column[A], I have the following formula:
grid1.column[A]
The result is an error.
The ultimate goal is to have a basic variance formula in the grid between grid1 and grid2, which have different database connections with a different # of dimensions. Is there a workaround at all to this bug? The example of the basic formula is below:
grid1.column[A] - grid2.column[A]
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Tiffany

Thanks for the detailed response Mike.
The issue with trying it in Grid1 vs Grid2 is that Grid1's DB connection has more dimensions than Grid2's DB connection. I can't change the DB connection to a database with more dimensions because you have to be able to map all dimensions from the existing DB connection (Grid1) to the new DB connection (Grid2). This isn't possible, so instead I have to map Grid2 (less dimensions) to Grid1 (more dimensions). It just ignores the extra dimensions from Grid1. Does that make sense?
Thanks again for your responses. It's very much appreciated.

Is there a workaround for the thumbnail regeneration issue in CS5?

Hullo.
A friend uses my old version of CS5 and she is stuck with ACR 6.7, because this is the last version available in CS5.
She seems to have huge problems in Bridge with the thumbnail regeneration bug described here, for instance: Cropping to an edge confuses Adobe Bridge?
Concretely, although she has a relatively powerful machine, she is unable to work because there are always tens and tens of thumbnails being generated and her eight virtual cores completely fill the disk bandwidth, making Bridge impossible to use. I am not 100% sure that it is exactly this bug, but everything seems to correspond perfectly well: hundreds of DNG files with lens correction activated and very many cropped manually.
Now, this is a confirmed bug of ACR 6.7 until ACR 8.2. She cannot switch to the latter without purchasing a newer version of Photoshop/Bridge.
Does Adobe provide any fix for this bug in CS5? Could someone kindly point me to it? Her version of Bridge is simply unusable as is....
If the answer above is no, I would be interested to know if this seems legal (not to say ethical...) to anybody: she is (otherwise) pretty happy with CS5 and she would need to buy a new licence for the sole and exclusive reason that the product Adobe sold me has a known and proven bug which makes it virtually useless in her setting.
Thanks,
p.

There are two similar bugs:
The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

Any workarounds for the X11 apps segmentation faults on intel with 10.4.8 ?

Hi,
We've an X11 application, compiled for PPC, which runs fine with a G5 iMac on 10.4.8. However, it crashes with a segmentation fault on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 (running through Rosetta).
Searching the web, we found that this seems to be a widespread problem for X11 apps running on Intel Macs with 10.4.8.
Has this been submitted as an important bug to Apple?
Are there any workarounds for it?
Is the problem specific to PPC-only builds, or does it also happen with Universal builds?
Thank you for any hints you could give about this,
cesar
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A powerpc-binary program running under Rosetta can only load powerpc-binary modules...can't cross in and out of emulation within a single process. Perhaps your program is trying to load a module from X11 that is present as an intel-only binary? Rosetta is certainly no future-looking cure-all, just a stop-gap to allow one to keep using older stuff, and it is kinda fragile sometimes. If your target audience is both powerpc and intel machines, compile as a universal binary so it's native for everyone.

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

Is there a workaround for the Safari "clickable hidden content" bug?

Hi,
I'm encountering a bug in Safari where hidden content (non-visible content hidden with the CSS attribute overflow:hidden) to be clickable. I did some googling and found other people who are having this same problem:
http://www.dmxzone.com/forum/go/?35908
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/76660
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2005-November/000496.html
But no one seems to have a workaround for this. The last post contains a reply by an Apple developer saying he checked in a bug fix for this, but his reply was posted two years ago and I'm still seeing the problem.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Hacks or kludges welcome.
Cheers,

Workaround for the problem of ultrabay HDD ejecting when waking from sleep

After trying every possible "solutions" with no luck for the problem of the second hard drive always ejecting/disconnecting when waking from sleep in my T530, I've decided to create my own workaround.
This is by no means a definitive solution but a nice workaround that uses little resources on the machine.
The idea is to simply let a program runs constantly from the second hard drive. That way, when the HDD tries to disconnect, Windows is not allowing it and then it stays allways connected.
To make it more thansparent I decided to create a Windows service that starts when Windows boot and stops when Windows shutdown.
This Windows service is very lightweight : it does absolutely nothing and just waits indefinitively.
The trick is that it just have to be started from the second hard drive.
Here is a link to the Windows service, 32-bit and 64-bit, with the source code and scripts to install/uninstall.
Just install it anywhere on the second hard drive (D: in my case).
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxusNBl7tTO-Y3J5VDB3d2lQRzg/edit?usp=sharing
Works perfectly for me on my T530 with Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hmm, I have no problem with Ultrabay ejecting HDD when waking from sleep mode. At first, I went down the same
route as you did. For the first few days when I received my T530 I kept an .iso file from Ultrabay HDD always mounted.
But then I disabled all power saving options within Windows and Lenovo Power Manager and it seems to work fine.
Works both with Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows XP Professional (32-bit).
T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
