Few Questions on Report

Hi All,
I am trying to create a report in which I have three fields on the screen. The first field I am trying to have is Material Number. Once when I give Material number, the description should automatically come in the second field. If the material is not maintained in the table then it should pop up an error stating Material Not Found and should abort the process. The third field is the option to upload the file from the desktop. Can anyone of you guys please let me know the process of how to do this. I am new to ABAP and hence your expert guidance is required.
Thanks

Hi,
Here is the answer:
Create a report program through SE38.
Put this code.
PARAMETER: mat_num TYPE mara-matnr,
                       mat_txt   TYPE maktx.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
IF mat_num IS NOT INITIAL.
    SELECT SINGLE matnr INTO mat_num   FROM mara WHERE matnr = mat_num.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
        EXPORTING
         titlebar                    = 'Error Message '
          text_question               = 'Material Not Found '
         display_cancel_button       = 'X'      .
   ENDIF.
    SELECT SINGLE maktx INTO mat_txt    FROM makt    WHERE matnr = mat_num    AND spras = sy-langu.
ENDIF.

Few questions on Report programming

Hi guys,
I have few questions on report programming.
1. What is the purpose of the statement REPORT zxxx. Even if i gave a name other than my report name i don't find any difference in syntax check/Functionality.
2. What is the purpose of list headings in report program? This option will come along with the text elements and selection texts.
3. What is the purpose of logical data base. Even if it is efficient why don't we use it frequently in our reports? Is there any limitations?
All usefull answers will be rewarded as usuall:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

1. As u told that you dint get any syntax errors even after changing the Report Name,there are chances of getting Runtime errors.
2. The usage of List Headings is when you create a list in a program, you can also create your own list and column headings.
Refer this link for further info.

3. The Limitation of LDB is the usage of GET statements which act similar to SELECT - ENDSELECT And also if you dont choose the proper LDB,a single LDB may contain data retrieval from so many tables ,that it would make the entire process very slow and it is very hard to find LDBs for other modules than HR.
Only in HR module the data is organized in such a way thatusing LDBs would be much simpler.

Financial Reporting using BPC 5.1: A few questions

Hello,
A client of mine is doing an assessment of using BPC 5.1 as a financial report writing tool versus BI/BEx. They are not currently using BPC for either planning or consolidations but that might happen in the future. The financial data is being extracted from the SAP BI system and being reported on in this pilot implementation. There are a few questions I have:
1) How common is it for organizations to be using BPC as just a financial report writing tool but not for planning & consolidations?
2) We have come across some constraints in using hierarchies in BPC which was not the case in BEx. We are having issues picking and choosing hierarchies. We have not been able to select a particular dependent node of a hierarchy. Let's say that A is the parent node and B and C are child nodes in a hierarchy. We've tried every trick but are not able to select either B or C individually. Moreover if we want both B and C, we are forced to create a hierarchy for B and C. This is not correct. This is a pretty basic requirement. Has anyone come across this restriction? If this is how BPC 5.1 works, is SAP planning on fixing this in BPC 7.0 do that it works like BEx works today?
I look forward to your help, advice and inputs. We are in a bind and relevant responses will be awarded full points.
Thanks,
Jon

I think it is very common for customer to utilize the tool JUST for reporting. The idea is to utilize the tool for as many purposes as possible. Customers use it purly for Operational reporting, planning specific, functional specific, or just plain simplified way to get needed data into the users hands via excel and the ability to build reports on the fly or using predefined templates which are highly flexible.
As for your second question, There is no direct method for selecting or "checking" a bundle of members to use in a report from the current view. However, there is an indirect method that may be built using EVDRE. It involves building an opening Tab in an BPC for Excel report, selecting the members viia the copy function in the current view, pasteing them to a section in the tab, running basic excel tests that aggregarte the members into a useable list for an EVDRE function, used in the MEMBBERSET section of a given dimension, that will then expand and retrieve the data for those members in the that will be run in a second Excel tab. Once you see it in action, it does the same thing or almost the same function you are requesting.
I am not certain if the process will be fixed in future releases, but if you like the feature, please contact product support and log an enhancement request, so as to formalize the request. There are other who hold the same sentiment.
Hope this helps.

Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

Hi,
I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
now,
1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
then, the first question is :
Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
and,
1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
2. please review the script for me.
3. I did:
SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
HTTP response status code: 401
HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized
Please supplied the required Basic authentication username/password for realm XDB for the Web page.

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="APEX"
======================================

my second questions is :

I use oracle database enterprise edtion 10.2.0.3. I have already figured out the epg on 10.2.0.3 to support apex 3.2.
And as I described above, the apex site works fine for ip address , and localhost. but the cookie will be blocked by IE6, if I want to access the site by 'http://computername:port/apex/apex_admin'. This problem does not occured in firefox and google browser. Could someone give me answer?

A few questions about upgrades & functionalities

We are looking to upgrade from Crystal 9 to either XI or 2008. I have a few questions. Currently we are not using the Crystal Server, but we are highly considering it. Here are my questions:
1. We need our customers to be able to run live reports. However, if I create one .rpt file with parameters such as customer ID and give access to all of our customers to this report, will each instance be saved universally? For example, if Company B ran the report with their parameters, does that mean Company C will be able to view the data from Company B? Is there a way to limit instances per user?
2. Is there a way to view rpt design features on the web? For example, we have many employees that need to know what fields are dynamic, etc. in a report. Is there anyway for them to be able to view the report design on the server or without having Crystal loaded on their machines?
3. If we do have customers run their reports on the web, is there anyway to prevent them from downloading the report as a .rpt file? We have customer data hard-coded into some of the reports and only wish for them to see the finished report.
4. Currently we use APIs with UB.NET with Crystal 9 to loaded data from XML files to run the reports. Will we need to upgrade any of those in order to run 2008 rpt files?
Thank you so much!

Hi,
here some comments on your questions:
1) You can use the scheduling mechanism of the server to: Create instances that can be sent to users inside the system/via email and so on. You can prevent users from seeing data that they are not allowed to be using row-level- or report-level- security. How this can be implemented is depending on the datasource(s) you are using.
2) No. You can only see/change the report design with Crystal Reports Designer application. You could either build your report design to show the users the desired information or you may use Web Intelligence to enable end-users see and change the actual report design.
3) Yes this should be possible via security settings on the server.
4) It depends on what you are actually doing. The SDKs should still work similar, but you can also use XML data in your Crystal Reports out-of-the-box.
Regards,
Harald

Just bought a powermac g4, few questions

i just bought this machine today and i had a few questions with it, installing leopard as we speak.. so far 2003 model MDD with a 1.25 dual , 2 GB of ram.. i opened the case up and noticed a copper heatsink.. is this a factory installed heatsink or no. i thought the 1.25's get the aluminum one.

Nice bonus! 47C is quite good if you're not running CHUD with nap mode.
well i think i should be pretty safe about overclocking the G4 dont you think?
It depends on what you have. IMO, 7455A would be best left alone even with the copper heatsink. 7455B, on the other hand, might be tempting to experiment with. Browse through the reader reports at Xlr8yourmac.com. A lot of folks report these running stable at 1.42 or even 1.5 without any adjustments to core voltage. Of course, there are no guarantees. Take care when removing resistors in case you have to bridge those contacts later.

Change of software - a few questions

Hello everyone,
So here I am - yet another editor disgusted by the release of Final Cut Pro X - exploring Adobe Premiere Pro.
Now I am really impressed with the looks and feel of Premiere. I use to cut away on Premiere 2.0. From there I picked up Final Cut Pro and never really got back until doomsday - last week. Great to see the work Adobe has put in to the software, they seem to really believe in it. My compliments.
However, I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help me answer. If an question was already posted I apologize, but I find the forum to be very chaotic.
What's to know;
I work on a  Mac Pro from early 2009 - 8 core, hyperthreaded machine with 12 GB of DDR3 RAM. I have four monitors of which two are referential and work with the BlackMagic Decklink HD Extreme.
I am also very sexy which might bring confusion to the program I suppose.
Question one:
Coming from Final Cut Pro I am used to the Apple Pro Res workflow and I like it - A LOT. The render quality compared to it's file sizes is amazing. Is there anyway to work with Pro Res in Premiere Pro?
Question two:
I know Premiere Pro to be 64 bits but when I render my cores won't go over 35% usage. How do I get it to render for the full 100%?
Question three:
I work with XDCam EX material. However, if I want my sequense to have playback over the BlackMagic devices I need to work in a BlackMagic codec sequense. I have all the latest drivers and I can work in a Pro Res or XDCam EX codec sequense in Final Cut and it will playback just fine. Now of course, you can say - well the blackmagic timeline seems to be a fine workaround - but then of course I have to render everything I put in there. Quite unnessesary. Is there anyway to set my timeline to an XDCam codec (or Pro Res if question one gets answered positifly )?
Question four:
I notice that whenever I return to Premiere Pro from another program (say via CMD + Tab) it freezes up for some time. Everytime. Frustrating. Is this a common problem? Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Question five:
After I import media (thank God for XML support!) Premiere Pro starts generating Peak Files. I read somewhere that it's supposed to be a background proces so that eachtime I do something in the timeline it stops and gives full core and ram power to where I need it. However, I find that it just keeps going and makes Premiere Pro really unresponsive and slow. Anyway to fix this?
Question six:
Why does Final Cut X suck so badly?
I think that's it for now .
Hope you can answere these questions all positivly... oh - Questions seven: why is there no dictionary functionality in this text editor??
Kind regards,
Wesley Blokker.

Question one:
Coming from Final Cut Pro I am used to the Apple Pro Res workflow and I like it - A LOT. The render quality compared to it's file sizes is amazing. Is there anyway to work with Pro Res in Premiere Pro?
You bet: import it, and edit. Check out this thread: Apple ProRes workflow in premiere pro?
Okidoki, thanks mate.
Question two:
I know Premiere Pro to be 64 bits but when I render my cores won't go over 35% usage. How do I get it to render for the full 100%?
What do you mean
by "render?" Are you referring to rendering previews? Exporting? A lot
of it can be influenced by the source footage, the destination format,
the effects you're using, etc. The bottom line is that you won't always
get full-tilt boogie rendering, regardless of the app being 64-bit. In
fact, if you're working with ProRes, you're actually limited to
32-bitness, since Premiere must use QuickTime for decoding of that
format, and QT is only 32-bit. That's more than likely the bottleneck
you're encountering.
Well I mean rendering your timeline for smooth previews. My footage is XDCam EX 35mb/s material at 1080p25 and comes of a RAID (e-sata) via a server and ethernet cables. However at the moment I am not working with Pro Res since I didn't know you could. I keep the original source footage and place it in a BlackMagic timeline because otherwise I cannot playback via my BM card.
Question three:
I work with XDCam EX material. However, if I want my sequense to have playback over the BlackMagic devices I need to work in a BlackMagic codec sequense. I have all the latest drivers and I can work in a Pro Res or XDCam EX codec sequense in Final Cut and it will playback just fine. Now of course, you can say - well the blackmagic timeline seems to be a fine workaround - but then of course I have to render everything I put in there. Quite unnessesary. Is there anyway to set my timeline to an XDCam codec (or Pro Res if question one gets answered positifly )?
Don't
worry so much about rendering in Premiere Pro; there's no need to the
vast majority of the time. Even if you're seeing a red bar, that's only
saying that you might need to render to get real-time playback.
Most of my sequences have red bars due to the footage and effects I
use, and I still get rippin' real-time playback. Naturally, on export,
your footage will be rendered, but that's an unavoidable
necessity. Ultimately, sequences work a bit differently in PPro than in
FCP: you can plunk anything you like into a PPro sequence, and it won't
try to render it in the background to conform it to the sequence. Just
edit and be happy
That doesn't make any sence mate - I have XDCam material right. If I put it in a native sequense, which would be ideal, it won't playback via my BlackMagic monitors. Why is that? The rendering is just another negative aspect of it, but you're right, that don't really matter.
Question four:
I notice that whenever I return to Premiere Pro from another program (say via CMD + Tab) it freezes up for some time. Everytime. Frustrating. Is this a common problem? Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
There
have been a few reports of this; I can't remember the resolution. You
didn't mention: are you using CS5 or CS5.5? If you're using CS5, make
sure that you're fully updated to version 5.0.4; go to Help > Updates
to check. If you're on CS5.5, the current version is 5.5.0, so there is
likely something else that is the cause. I'm a PC user, so I've not
followed those reports to closely. Here's one thread which says this is
fixed in CS5.5: Adobe Forums: Premiere CS5 post alt-tab freeze
Unforutatley I'm running 5.0.4.
Question five:
After I import media (thank God for XML support!) Premiere Pro starts generating Peak Files. I read somewhere that it's supposed to be a background proces so that eachtime I do something in the timeline it stops and gives full core and ram power to where I need it. However, I find that it just keeps going and makes Premiere Pro really unresponsive and slow. Anyway to fix this?
The
generation of PEK files and CFA (conformed audio) files is a point of
frustration for most Premiere Pro users. The best bet is to simply let
it finish: usually, it won't take that long. After you import your
media, go grab some coffee or do some jumping jacks or something else
interesting, and let the process finish. Now, if Premiere Pro continues
to generate files, there is something wonky with the media database,
and it usually means purging the PEK/CFA/etc. files and then cleaning
the media cache database. Premiere Pro will have to regenerate the files
(yeah, again), but this time, they'll usually stick. I think it can be a
little touchy if you continue to try to work during this process, and
Premiere Pro can lose track of those files. That's why most of us have
griped again and again for this process to change or go away forever and
ever.
Roger that. Thanks.
Question six:
Why does Final Cut X suck so badly?
That's a tough one
I demand to know!
Questions seven: why is there no dictionary functionality in this text editor??
There is; click the little ABC-checkmark button at the top right corner of the text field.
Aight, thanks
Thanks for your help mate. I hope you can help me solve the BlackMagic problem here and give some more information about the rendering as it's far from optimal.

A few questions about Snow Leopard before purchase

it was first a french post that I translate:
salut, quelques questions avant mon achat éventuel de Snow:
Hi, a few questions before I purchase Snow Leopard:
1) le update est-il multilingue. c.à.d a-t-on aussi le choix de la langue comme pour pour la version complète?
Is the upgrade also multilanguages as for the complete version?
2) suffit-il de lancer l'installation de la mise à jour si on a déjà Leopard installé?
Need I only to install the upgrade version when Leopard is already installed?
3) les programmes tels que Pages, Photoshop cs3, etc... fonctionnent-ils sans problème sous Snow? Do old programs from Leopard run normally, are they all compatible such Photoshop cs3, etc...?
4) est-ce plus fiable de désinstaller Leopard et d'installer Snow Leopard complètement?
Is it more reliable to desinstall first old version of Leopard and then install Snow Leopard?
Who knows?

There are mixed reports saying some things work fine in CS3, while others do not.
Pages '09 certainly works, since it is available as part of the Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard. Earlier versions of Pages remains to be seen.
You shouldn't have to uninstall Leopard. The specs call for the lowest priced version of Snow Leopard to simply install on top of Leopard.
However, you should make sure to follow the tips on this FAQ*:

Few Questions on Captivate

Hello,
I hope I am posting correctly. I have a few questions on adobe captivate:
1. How much is it for one copy? I am finding it hard to understand the prices. I would just like Captivate if possible.
2. Can it be downloaded through the internet?
3. I need to create a project in dreamweaver - can captivate quizzes be imported into dreamweaver?
Thank you

The answer to that is "It depends". I understand it's less expensive if you live in US. Higher elsewhere. Additonally there is a discount if you are a student. Another discount if it's an upgrade or an outright purchase.
If you don't have an older version and you aren't a student, it appears to be $799 for an outright purchase or $299 to upgrade.
2. Can it be downloaded through the internet?
Indeed Adobe does offer a downloadable install.
3. I need to create a project in dreamweaver - can captivate quizzes be imported into dreamweaver?
Captivate creates SWF output files just like Flash does. So you would insert Captivate content on Dreamweaver pages in the same way you would insert other Flash content.
Hope this helps... Rick

Few questions about nokia lumia 720...

I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 720 and have a few questions I would like answering...
Why do we need to link our phone to a microsoft account? What if you dont want to link your email and your phone contacts? My phone is now full of useless numbers of people I havent spoken to\want to speak to.
Where do I report bugs that I find with the phone? I have found a few.
Why cant I sign into Skype without linking to a microsoft account too? [same issue as before]
It would also be good if we could assign custom ring tones... I thought this would have been a standard feature.
Sorry for the moan...
Jimmy

As I said, you can either set up a separate MS account just for the phone or you can filter you contacts under People > Settings > Filter contact lists so that you see only the ones you want to see. Linking to a cloud account is extremely useful for keeping a backup and for restoring the phone if you lose, change or simpley have to hard reset it. A friend lost his Lumia while travelling abroad, bought a new one on the spot, found a free wifi network and had all his contacts, messages and apps installed and running within half an hour.
I don't understand your last point - if you mean restart the phone when it is frozen for any reason, that can be done by holding both the Power and Volume Down button pressed for maybe 10-15 seconds until the phone vibrates and restarts. That is usually called a soft reset and you do not lose any settings or data except the date and time settings which you need to set again manually. Otherwise you can simply turn the phone Off and On by holding the Power button pressed.

Few Questions (Help Needed)

Hi,
I had few questions regarding captivate 4. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it:
1) I created an eLearning project and it has some quiz sildes in them. So how do I collect the scores of the users who will go though that eLearning? ( I googled it but in most of the webpages they say just put a tick on report answers and also in the preferences enable reporting for this project) I tried using that but can`t see how to fetch the score for each users.
2) In the same eLearning I want to get feedback from the users who watch the eLearning. So basically I want a slide in which users can type in their feedback and then when they hit the submit button that feedback should be sent to a specific email. ( For this I tried using text box entry but all the text we enter in that comes in one line, we can`t press enter to change lines, also in the button I assign it to send an email to my lotus notes email id, but when I preview the project and click the button, it opens my lotus notes and it does not fetches what I have entered in the text box)

Hi there
You need to be investigating another piece of software that works in conjunction with applications like Adobe Captivate. Generically it is known as a LMS (Learning Management System).
There are tons of them out there. You might begin by looking at the link below:

Few questions regarding requirements in context of SAP products

Hello!
I have few questions regarding Relational Database, Network Archtecture and Platform Support requirements in context of SAP products. Can someone help by answering the questions, if possible with Yes/No (and short explanation)
a) Does your system run native to the Oracle 10g RDBMS (RAC) and database tools? If not, please explain the databases and tools supported (Yes/No)
b) database accept binary-large-objects (BLOBs) and be referenced via the relational engine (Yes/No)
c) standard pre-defined SQL queries and related calculations provided for use with industry standard reporting tools

Hi Axel,
I've just found your question by accident and would like to know whether you have already implemented 10gRAC in SAP environment?

About MHP... few questions

Hi, i have few questions about MHP:
1/ When are we going to move the MHP 1.1 ? is it in a near future? Who is currently using it?
2/ What is the overall MHP market share in Europe ? I mean the amount of MHP boxes compared to all possible digibox on the market? Where can i find such information ?
3/ about conditional access: Which MHP STB support Smartcard, i actually never saw any MHP STB with smartcard.
Login/password is also a possible security access, do you see any other method to identify the user?
4/ About the future of MHP STB: are we going to see boxes with USB,bluetooth supports...?
larger persistent and reliable storage ?
thank you very much
best regards
Seb

1) Probably not any time soon. Until there is a reliable test suite for MHP 1.1, it's impossible to ensure that any MHP 1.1 implementation actually meets the spec. There are also interoperability issues that will need working on, and which will not be covered by the test suite. DVB are working on an MHP 1.1 test suite, which is due in early 2006 if I remember correctly, but there will still be a lot of work needed even after the test suite is availalbe.
Add to that the fact that there's not much real demand for MHP 1.1 at the moment. The Italian MHP profile uses the smart card API from MHP 1.2, and that seems to be the biggest thing that people wanted. DVB-HTML is still a mess, and so most people are using a downloaded microbrowser and some flavor of HTML 4 or XHTML.
This is, of course, just my opinion.
2) I don't know exact figures, but I was talking ot one of the Italian broadcasters a few weeks ago anfd they were prety positive. They said that something like 3 million MHP boxes had been shipped in Italy. This is a pretty good number, but it's still nowhere near some of the non-MHP systems out there (BSkyB in the UK for instance have ~8 million deployments, and Freeview have about 4 million). Unless you're willing to pay one of the market research companies for their reports in this area, I doubt that you would get an idea of the overall market share in Europe, but DVB publish a report that gives numbers for MHP deployments worldwide. This is available from http://www.mhp.org/about_mhp/who_is_using_mhp/index.xml (see the MHP Update link).
3) Most of the Italian MHP boxes support smart cards, but these are more for pay-TV access via pre-paid cards. It would be possible to extend these to normal subscription services, but there is no demand at the moment from the broadcasters. Integrating this into MHP is no more difficult than integrating it in to any other middleware stack, so there are no technical problems doing this. Apart from using the smart card and using passwords, I don't know of any other really reliable ways for user authentication.

A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
I will start with the hardware questions first:
I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
Now a couple of software questions.
After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
Question: Which is true?
My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
Cheers,
Alex Bogdan

Alex,
I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
Qn 1 Which Mac.
Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
          Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
          Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
          You can get:-
                              3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
                               2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
                               Of course such a model will cost you more.
          In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
          But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
          Again only you will know the answer to that.
Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
         Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
          It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
          Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
          First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
          Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
          The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
          So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
         So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
           I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
           You would need to contact Adobe about that.
Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
          Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
         Here is something that you may want to know:-
          Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
          However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
          It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
          However here is the point:-
          Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
         Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your    machine.
          Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
Personal Comment:-
          It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
          That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions.

Oracle 9i R2 Installation on RH Linux 7.3 -- Have a few questions.

Hello,
I am at the end of the Oracle 9i R2 installation and have a few questions.
1) The "Agent Configuration Assistant" keeps failing. I get the following message.
Parameters "orahome" = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Parameters "nodeinfo" = NODE_VALUE
Agent Service Failed
What does this mean and how can I complete Agent Configuration Assistant install?
2) I completed the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant successfully and created passwords for sys and sysoper (not sure if these were the exact users). Note I did not modify any other users or unlock them.
How do I log into the sqlplus prompt, what users should I use and how can I create new users and databases?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Chris Barone

(1) You can probably just ignore the Agent Configuration (are you using the Agent to collect data?)
(2) sqlplus '/ as sysdba' will log you into the SQL*Plus prompt.
