Expert views solicited.

Hi all,
I am a fresher, who joined the IT industry 4 months back.
I received a general training in ABAP. Presently I am working in a project and I am doing ABAP HCM work.
After several days of hard work, now I have gained some (though still very little) understanding of ABAP HCM (infotypes, LDBs etc).
I have received a proposal of switching my project.
In the new project, I will have the option of taking up either ABAP Workflow or ABAP Dynpro.
I find HCM abap quite intersting. But I have no prejudices (given my almost non existant experience).
I HAVE A STRONG INCLINATION TOWARDS FUNCTIONAL SAP. I AM NOT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH LOTS OF CODING.
I AM MORE INTERESTED IN LEARNING THE BUSINESS PROCESSES AND GAINING AN OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS.
I request you all to advice me whether I should go for the new project or should I continue in ABAP HCM?
Also, if I go for the new project, should I go for ABAP Workflow or ABAP Dynpro?
Please enlighten me about the FUTURE PROSPECTS, PRESENT MARKET DEMAND and GROWTH possible in all the three technologies.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

My preffered order would be: ABAP HCM, ABAP Workflow, ABAP Dynpro.
Maybe this is beacuse I am working as ABAP HCM consultant, but maybe this is because dynpro programming requires lots of coding and itself has little to do with functional SAP side (or even nothing). Worfklow seems the most functional one (to me) as it requires adapting business logic using more graphical representation then coding itself. Of course some ABAP is also required there (for custom solutions) but you could use standard BOR objects as well - then custom ABAP coding would not be necessary. I think this however is not too much module-specific as it might be used accross all SAP areas. Great fun I think though - I am going to take some course of that soon so maybe can suggest more on this later.
ABAP HCM is interesing too. Knowing that particular area allows you to transfer to Functional HCM, which combined with ABAP places you in front sit for good job opportunities. In Poland (where I am come from) ABAP HCM developers are hunted. Be aware though that i.e. functional payroll HCM would require some legal knowledge of country-specific payroll, which might be useless when switching to other country payroll. Anyhow general concepts stay the same.
One more word regarding dynpro. As long as they offer you Web Dypro this might be a great project too, as this is right now one of the top most UI programming technology in ABAP. But as we talk about classic dynpros with possible combination of GUI controls this will become complex (but doens't mean uninteresing). Also, classing dynpros might soon be replaced by pure web applications (web dynpros) so they might become obsolete, however this transition might take some time as long as SAP GUI is in daily use.
To sum up. Going for ABAP HCM most likely will require some dynpro knowledge too as list reports are already obsolete and no one uses them nowadays. Workflow, on the other hand could require some ABAP coding, but not necessarly.
Hope this claryfies a little bit what you are going to struggle with, or rather enjoy with:)

Why is my easy view and expert view not showing up in my controller assignments window

when i go to contol surfaces and then select the controller assignments i do not have the option to hit the easy view or the expert view i was wondering if anyone knew why this is?

Same solution as dplavin. Thanks!
Afterwords there were some changes in Add-ons that were enabled/disabled that then had to be straightened out.
I disabled Test Pilot which was in the process of testing thinking that it might have had something to do with the problem. I have not updated to the latest version of 5.0 because one favorite Add-on [Firegestures] is supposed to be incompatible.

Only partial audio from 25+GB .avi file in Premiere Elements 11 Expert View

I have a new Toshiba laptop with i7 processor, 8GB memory, and Win 8.1
I have 25+GB .avi files containing 2-3 of my kids baseball games. I want to create DVDs of say 2 games per with start & stop main menu markers.
I bring the .avi file into Expert View. Problem is not all the audio is there. Starts out with no audio showing then some appears. Several games are
each 8mm tape which I copy to HD as 1 .avi . I guess I can copy one game at a time from 8mm creating individual .avi game files. Not sure how large
they are and if all audio appears. I'm currently doing that.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks...

104ketch,
Did you clean out the Meda Cache, before you discovered the loss of Audio?
To play Audio on the Timeline, and to display the Waveform, you need the CFA and PEK files. This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3892177#3892177
One of the most common causes of not having Audio, or truncated Audio, is that the Conforming process did not complete 100%.
Good luck,

The Expert view timeline sometimes zooms in when I drag a clip

The Expert view timeline sometimes zooms in when I drag a clip from Finder or the Project Assets panel to the Expert view timeline. The Expert view timeline zoom also zoom in if I drag the clip handles to trim a clip.
This behavior is working with Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro with retina display. I have found a fix for Adobe Premiere Elements 11 but not one for Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
I hope you have a fix for my problem.

mat96th
About a year ago I worked with a Premiere Elements 10 Mac user at a forum that I no longer visit. Same Timeline zoom issue. We tried several approaches including the one that works for Premiere Elements 11 Mac. Unfortunately, nothing worked to correct the problem in version 10 Mac. The user eventually went on to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 Mac.
But, just in case, have you checked the program's preferences for one that might be applicable to your particular situation. Unlikely fix, but worth a look.

Database Expert -- Views at End of Alpha List Do Not Appear

I'm working with an MS-SQL database. All the table in it, from A to Z show up. The DB vendor wants us to use views to access data for reports, however. And looking at the list of views in the Database Expert -- the list is cut off in the vwRs.
So for example, vwPersons is visible, as is vwReports.
But vwTopicCodes, in same DB, and at least 40 other tables from vwSales to vwZipCodes, do not appear.
Any logical place to start looking for the cause of this kind of behavior?
Thanks,

Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR), when connecting to a database that has 10,000 objects, only 8,000 of these objects are returned.
Why does CR only return 8,000 database objects?
Cause
The number of database objects returned to CR is determined by the setting in the Windows Registry. The default value for this registry setting is 8,000. You can change this default value by editing the Windows registry setting, NTablesMax.
NTablesMax - specifies the number of database objects to get a listing of from the database. Once this number is reached the listing of objects in Crystal Reports is stopped. Objects can include tables, views, synonyms and stored procedures.

Premiere Elements 12.1 Update and Known Expert View Styles Issue

The other day Adobe released the Premiere Elements 12.1 Update and encourgaged its use by all. However, little was cited for what the 12.1 Update was supposed to be fixing in Premiere Elements 12, other than "stability and performance" matters.
This morning I was working with Styles in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12.1 and did not run into any problem creating the titles with text and Styles.
Before the 12.1 Update, editing Styles ran into problems in the Expert workspace that forced the user to toggle between Expert and Quick to get the text Style re-editing done.
Please check this out and let us know if you found the same.
If possible, in this thread perhaps each might contribute positive differences, if any, found in updating Premiere Elements 12 to 12.1.
So far, looking good for text with Styles, opening and closing the Tilter in the Expert workspace as well as saving closing reopening the project to the Expert workspace and editing the text Styles.

Not so.
You apparently have not opened the link to read it. If you had, you would have seen mention of Premiere Elements 12.1 as well.
So, just in case the Adobe link was not opening for you to read it in part or entirely, here is a copy/paste of the relevant information
Photoshop Elements 12.1 update
The 12.1 update for Adobe Photoshop Elements includes the following enhancements and fixes:
Revel workflow improvements:
Improved Raw/PSD file upload experience. In version 12.0, Elements creates a JPEG proxy image in the user's catalog for any Raw/PSD files uploaded to Revel. In 12.1, this JPEG proxy file is hidden from the user. Elements creates this proxy file silently on the disk and deletes the file once it is uploaded to Revel. As earlier, the uploaded proxy file is mapped with the Raw/PSD file in Elements. This enhancement ensures that you don't come across duplicate media in the Elements catalog.
Ability to hide a library in your Elements catalog. This functionality comes handy when you want to selectively hide/show media from a friend’s library or one of your own libraries.
In earlier versions of Elements, any file deleted from Revel was automatically deleted from the Elements catalog. You now have additional options to manage such deleted files. You can now opt to delete the media from Revel, but keep it intact in the Elements catalog. You can also choose to delete the media from the Elements catalog as well as the hard disk.
Fixes for some Revel integration issues in version 12.0. Improved performance and integration stability.
Optimized Revel integration first-launch experience.
Addressed the delay observed in version 12.0 while downloading files to the Elements catalog.
Addressed an issue related to the pressure sensitivity sensor in N-Trig pens included with Sony laptop computers.
Addressed an issue that caused slideshow previews to appear blank in Photoshop Elements 11 and 12.
Numerous performance and stability improvements.
Adobe Premiere Elements
The 12.1 update for Adobe Premiere Elements includes the following enhancements and fixes:
Revel workflow improvements mentioned in the Photoshop Elements section above
Addressed an issue related to iPhone 5s slow-motion video upload to Revel
Addressed an issue that caused some music score to end abruptly

How can I manually enter MIDI channel number in Control Surface expert Value Change field?

I am creating a software interface for a multidimensional controller which can transmit many linear values at the same time. I can not use Learn mode because it always sends data from all sources, but I can split them by MIDI channels. I would like to manually enter controlling values into Control Surface expert view.
I seem to be able only to input the message, but not MIDI channel on which it is transmitted.

Stupid me, it's hex... so 80 is Note Off ch 1, 90 Note On ch 1 etc

Photo in video cut when going from "Quick" to "Expert"

I created a video using Premiere Elements 11. I used a video I took on a Canon T3I and pics saved on the computer and edited using Photoshop Elements 11. I created the video with the Premiere Elements 11 set to "Quick." With the video created this way it worked fine and it up;loaded to you tube and worked perfectly on there. I then opened the completed video file and saved a copy. I then opened the copy and clicked the "Expert" button. After the screen had changed to go from "quick" to "expert" I noticed that one of the pics in the video was cut and replaced with a red and black screen that says "media off-line" in several languages. The caption from the original pic is still there but when I play the video on Premiere Elements 11 the picture is not there and when the video plays it shows the red and black media offline screen. The pic that was eliminated is a .tiff file. what happened to that pic and how can I fix it? Thanks.

I suspect that somewhere along the line you moved the source media that went into the project.prel after the project prel (project file) was saved closed. Let us see.
But, I need to go through your details to see where that might have happened. I want to make sure we are distinguishing between import source media, source media on the Quick view Filmstrip, source media on Expert view Timeline, and the export of the source media to a file.
1. You set up a project with video and photo content in the Quick view. And, uploaded that to YouTube. Am I correct that the uploaded to YouTube was from Quick view Filmstrip via Publish+Share/Online/YouTube?
2. What did you save when you wrote
I then opened the completed video file and saved a copy.
Was that a copy of the project.prel (project file) that you saved via File Menu/Save A Copy or something else?
3. Then you wrote
I then opened the copy and clicked the "Expert" button. After the screen had changed to go from "quick" to "expert" I noticed that one of the pics in the video was cut and replaced with a red and black screen that says "media off-line" in several languages.
Assuming that is the copy of the project.prel file and given that you switched to the Quick To Expert view and noticed a missing photo (.tif) when viewing in Expert view, what next?
a. When you first opened the project.prel copy, apparently it opened in Quick. Did you see the photo at this point?
b. When you went to Expert view and found the photo missing, did you go back to Quick? If so, was the photo still there?
4. Do you have any drive letter changes going on in all this? Where is the source media for this project saved?
Please review. Your reply will help us to help you resolve this matter.
It is not uncommon for the Quick view not to offer features or present as does the Expert view. But I have rarely if ever run into instances of the reverse.
So, please check the save location of the "missing" photo in Expert as to what is going on there. Premiere Elements project has only copies of the source media and these copies link back to the originals at their hard drive save location.
Thanks.

Document Splitting is not displaying in GL view

Hi All,
I have done all the Configuration for Document Splitting.
First question regarding document splitting is that why system is not allowing me to assign the item category 01001 for any GL in ECC 6.0 EHP 5, it is giving the following error.
The (technical) item category 01001 is not permitted
Message no. GLT1170
secondly while posting a vendor invoice it is not showing the document splitting in GL view but in the Expert view it is showing the document splitting. my Question is why it is not showing the Document splitting in GL view while simulating..
i am using only leading ledger, i have not configured any parallel ledger, is this error due to that.
Please guide me as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh Saxena
Secondly

Hello,
Some information for you regarding the item cagatory 01001 in relation to NewGL splitting:
This catagory is reserved for line items which are "Zero-Balance Clearing account" line items. These are basically balancing line items in New General Ledger that are posted to balance particular document by the mandatory zero balance fields, ie. Profit Center, Segment, Business Area etc. When splitting is configured these mandatory fields required to be balancing to zero, the system posts line items of type 01001 to the specified Zero-Balance Clearing account automatically.
In SPRO you can see the Zero-Balance Clearing account for your specified Chart of Accounts with the following path:
Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting
...the select "Define Zero-Balance Clearing account". On the next screen select the line item and double click on the "Accounts" folder. Next you will need to enter your Chart of accounts and then you will see the specified account.
In addition, Zero-balance clearing line items posted in a document have line item number "000" in the NewGL view of the document in transaction FB03.
Kind regards,
Declan

Control Inspection Lot option-QM view

Hi all,
We want the system to create only one inspection lot for partial goods reciept from a production order.As an option i have selected "for each material,batch and storage locaion"option in QM view.Material is batch managed and serial number processed.But still the system creates new inspection lot .Does anyone have a clue.The first inspection lot was only result recorded w/o UD status INSP ...i read that if first inspection lot is credited or already the posting qty is zero then the system will creat new insp lot every time we do GR but here thats not the case as there is still qty to be posted and only RR is done.Pls help .Thanks
regards,
Naik

Hi
In normal case system will not create inspection lot..
but you are activating Serial no, means 100% inspection,(and your MIC single RR )
that is the reason system is creating new inspection lot for each GR
I don't have real time exp. but i can share some views...
if your prod.order 100pc and first gr 25pc -- then inspection lot has these 25pc with S.no
in next GR 25pc- how your existing inspection lot will update with new S.No ?
that's why system create new inspection lot but incase without s.no and 100%inspection
system will check whether inspection lot is created or not and open or completed-- based on that create new lot .
let us wait for some experts view...
thanks

How to view changes to expense reports

I am trying to find a way of viewing changes to an Expense Report.
In PR05 there is a history but it does not provide details about the change. I have also looked at PRTE and cluster AEND but again this does not provide the details that our business users require.
Does anyone know if there is any other way of viewing the detail of changes to an Expense Report?
On a related issue we have found that in PR05 the approver name is showing as the workflow user rather than the user ID of the person who approved the trip in the Portal. Can this be changed to the actual approver ?
Thanks for any help with this
Stephanie

Hi,
I think T-code PRTE provides only screen level changes (i.e who , when creates, save or updates by whome)
For detail level changes in expense reports you need to activate Define History and Archiving of Forms
V_T702N_R26_R27
Please note that this is ONLY available with EHP5 BC 605 FIN_TRAVEL_3
Following is help available
_________________________________________________________________________Use
In this step, you can activate the following functions:
History
If you activate logging of history, the system logs the changes to travel requests and expense reports. Users can display the history in the following user interfaces:
Personal object worklists (POWL) for travelers, assistents, and approving managers on the Web Dynpro ABAP-based user interface of Travel Management
Transactions of the travel expense report in SAP GUI; for example, in the Travel Expense Manager (transaction PR05) or in the Travel Calendar (transaction PR02)
If you do not activate logging of history, the system automatically logs the changes made to expense reports (as in earlier releases). Users can display the change history only in the transactions of the travel expense report in SAP GUI.
Storage of Travel and Expense Forms in the Archive
If you have activated logging of history, you also can define that the travel request forms and expense report forms are to be automatically archived when certain events occur. You can determine which of the following events triggers the archiving of a form:
When processing of a changed travel request or expense report is handed over from the user who makes the change to another user
When the status of the travel request or expense report changes
When a user saves the travel request or expense report
You can archive the Adobe PDF forms or HTML forms for travel requests and expense reports, but not the forms for travel plans. If you use an ABAP list form, the system first converts this form to an HTML form and then archives the HTML form.
In the following activities you define which kinds of forms the system uses:
For travel requests, see Define Enterprise-Wide Control Parameters and attribute HTMLFORM_R_P.
For expense reports, see Travel Expenses Control (Expert View), Other Settlement, field 24.
Requirements
The following prerequisites must be met:
You have activated the updating of statistical data when trips are saved; see Define Structure of Trip Statistics.
You have made the basic settings for ArchiveLink; see Basic Customizing for ArchiveLink.
Note:
If you want to archive Adobe PDF forms, the document type PDF under Edit Document Classes must contain an entry with MIME type application/pdf.
If you want to archive HTML forms, the document type HTML under Edit Document Classes must contain an entry with MIME type text/html.
Standard settings
By default, history logging is not activated.

Any idea why HASH_JOIN is being done in serial mode ?

Hi Guys,
I have a doubt. Although both my table and index are built with parallel degree of 8, i am wondering why the hash_join goes serially. Any idea ? The query seems to run very quickly ( In 10 mins ) until the Table and index fast full scan but it later crawls with hash join.
Some of you may be thinking that this is due to sort_area_size but i have 200 MB allocated per session. Hash_Area_size will obviously be double to that of sort_areasize.
The query is :
SELECT /*+ FULL (CU10) */

Why do the hash_joins are not done in parallel. I thought it was due to the distinct clause but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I shall wait to hear from you.
BTW, table CU10 has 70 million rows and table CV01 has about 50 million rows

Income Tax Exemption on Professional Tax Deducted for Tamilnadu Employees

Hi Experts,
I am working on India Payroll and configured Professional Tax for Tamilnadu employees. Professional Tax is deducted correctly for the employee in the month of August and then in month of January.
However while calcuating income tax exemption system is considering only amount deducted in the month of August for the exemption upto December month and in the month of January its cosidering PTax deducted in the month of August and January both. In case of Maharashtra employees form first month its considering annual projected Professional Tax amount for Exemption.
Can anyone guide me what changes i have to do for considering projected PTax amount for exemption in case of Tamilnadu employees.
Thanks in advance.
OMKAR

As per standrad the for chennai professional tax is projected for every six months right
so it is takeing like that say the entire amount will be upto to Projection period so it is takeing for that period
We have similar issue at one of the client place that is instead of deducting the PTAX for every six months it has to be deducted
for mothly so we have changed the frequnecy of deduction from six months to monthly so than it has shown the entire project amout yearly
and lets wait for the expert views on this

Expert views solicited.
