FI-GL interface with Great Plains

Hi All,
Does anybody have experience in interfacing with Great Plains using FI-Gl as shadow ledger? What is the recommended technology to achieve this.
Thanks & Regards
Manjit

Hi,
Are you using any Middleware for interfacing SAP with external system..
I think it is possible..for this you need to get intouch with EDI Consulatnt or search some documentation on EDI.

XI interface with third party using Java API

Hi All,
We have the following requirement:
XI needs to interface with an external third party system which has JAVA API capabilities and the corresponding JAR files available to us.
I have seen a few threads where it was mentioned that we could call the Java methods directly in User Defined functions:
Process Integration (PI) & SOA Middleware
My question: Is this approach feasible in our scenario? Also I guess we do not need to configure any adapter for this Java Method call within the UDF.
Your help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Regards,
Jai.

Thanks Stefan.
Our requirement has slightly changed. We have installed a thirdparty application on XI Server (within our network , inside filrewall). The application with Java API Jar file. All it does is a Lookup and retruns a value.
We are planning to import the Jar file into imported Archives and call the method within a UDF.
Is this feasible? I am going to give it a try.
Your expert comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jai

Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
Here is what I see in my Garageband:
Preferences >
Audio/MIDI >
- System Setting
- Built-in Microphone
- Built-in Input
- H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
Of course I have selected the H4.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

Service Form interface with RACF DB2 Databases

We are looking for a way to have service form interface with RACF using DB2 connect. This function is needed to perform data validation against mainframe system. Any advice or instructions of how to implement this is greatly appreciated.

I am using Weblogic workshop test browser to test this code. My Ws code looks like this.

Printing Crystal reports via Great Plains 10

Hi,
I am unable to print (to printer) crystal reports in Great Plains 10. I can preview the report, export and print the exported file but the Print button does not respond when I click it (no errors, nothing) in the Crystal preview screen. We are using Crystal XI, Developers Kit.
I have set the report to 'No Printer', verified that I can print other files from the server, verified the default printer and I have spokes to GP (Microsoft), nothing has helped with this issue.
OS:
MS Windows Server 2003
Standard Edition
SP1
Thanks,

Hi Carolyn,
Great Plains is an OEM partner of ours and they MUST resolve this issue for you. If they can not figure out what the problem is they can create a case on line to get help from Support to help you.
Not sure if you have Crystal Reports Designer or not but if you do can you print from the Designer? If you can then it's an issue in Great Plains software.
Thank you
Don

Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE

Dear Sir or Madam,
Since I am a TA for software architecture class, some one ask me the following question: I think the answer is "No" based on the document on http://java.sun.com/sfaq/
How I answer the quesions? Looking forward your help!!!
1.You may have 2 applets and 2 html files. One applet with one html file may stay at a client PC and run on this PC, and the other applet with the other html file may stay at a server PC and run on this PC. In this case, all the applets are run locally.
2.Could applets works with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
3.Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Jing

The scenario you paint doesn't quite make sense. The "server PC" wouldn't be running an applet, normally, since applets are by definition in a web browser page, and most likely involve user interaction, and "server processes" generally are done without user interaction.
The security rules around applets are that -- by default -- applets can connect with sockets ONLY to the server from whence the applet was loaded. RMI uses sockets (J2EE is too broad a spec) and hence RMI calls would also be limited to the server from whence the applet was loaded. Within that limitation, an applet could open all the sockets it wants, so long as they are all on the server from whence the applet was loaded.
If you want two applets on two different systems to communicate with each other, the simplest way is to have them rendevous through a server process on the server(s) from whence each applet was loaded. Maybe it's PC-a <-> server-a <-> server-b <-> PC-b ...? Or maybe PC-a and PC-b both are talking to the same server.
The limitation is rooted in the security subsystem. You can specify a policy file and override anything in the security subsystem. That does mean signing the applet and then cajoling the user into agreeing to grant greater levels of security than the default. In such a case you can open sockets more broadly and then PC-a could talk directly to PC-b without going through any servers.

Database design to support parameterised interface with MS Excel

Hi, I am a novice user of SQL Server and would like some advice on how to solve a problem I have. (I hope I have chosen the correct forum to post this question)
I have created a SQL Server 2012 database that comprises approx 10 base tables, with a further 40+ views that either summarise the base table data in various ways, or build upon other views to create more complex data sets (upto 4 levels of view).
I then use EXCEL to create a dashboard that has multiple pivot table data connections to the various views.
The users can then use standard excel features - slicers etc to interrogate the various metrics.
The underlying database holds a single days worth of information, but I would like to extend this to cover multiple days worth of data, with the excel spreadsheet having a cell that defines the date for which information is to
be retrieved.(The underlying data tables would need to be extended to have a date field)
I can see how the excel connection string can be modified to filter the results such that a column value matches the date field,
but how can this date value be passed down through all the views to ensure that information from base tables is restricted for the specied date, rather than the final results set being passed back to excel - I would rather not have the server resolve the views
for the complete data set.
I considered parameterisation of views, but I dont believe views support parameters, I also considered stored procedures, but I dont believe that stored procedures allow result sets to be used as pseudo tables.
What other options do I have, or have I failed to grasp the way SQL server creates its execution plans and simply having the filter at the top level will ensure the result set is minimised at the lower level? (I dont really want the time taken for the dashboard
refresh to increase - it currently takes approx 45 seconds following SQL Server Engine Tuning Advisor recommendations)
As an example of 3 of the views,
Table A has a row per system event (30,000+ per day), each event having an identity, a TYPE eg Arrival or Departure, with a time of event, and a planned time for the event (a specified identity will have a sequence of Arrival and Departure events)
View A compares seperate rows to determine how long between the Arrival and Departure events for an identity
View B compares seperate rows to determine how long between planned Arrival and Departure events for an identity
View C uses View A and view B to provide the variance between actual and planned
Excel dashboard has graphs showing information retrieved from Views A, B and C. The dashboard is only likely to need to query a single days worth of information.
Thanks for your time.

You are posting in the database design forum but it seems to me that you have 2 separate but highly dependent issues - neither of which is really database design related at this point. Rather you have an user interface issue and an database programmability
issue. Those I cannot really address since much of that discussion requires knowledge of your users, how they interface with the database, what they use the data for, etc. In addition, it seems that Excel is the primary interface for your users
- so it may be that you should post your question to an excel forum.
However, I do have some comments. First, views based on views is generally a bad approach. Absent the intention of indexing (i.e., materializing) the views, the db engine does nothing different for a view than it does for any ad-hoc query.
Unfortunately, the additional layering of logic can impede the effectiveness of the optimizer. The more complex your views become and the deeper the layering, the greater the chance that you befuddle the optimizer.
I would rather not have the server resolve the views for the complete data set
I don't understand the above statement but it scares me. IMO, you DO want the server to do as much work as possible since it is closest to the data and has (or should have) the resources to access and manipulate the data and generate the desired
results. You DON'T want to move all the raw data involved in a query over the network and into the client machine's storage (memory or disk) and then attempt to compute the desired values.
I considered parameterisation of views, but I dont believe views support parameters, I also considered stored procedures, but I dont believe that stored procedures allow result sets to be used as pseudo tables.
Correct on the first point, though there is such a thing as a TVF which is similar in effect. Before you go down that path, let's address the second statement. I don't understand that last bit about "used as pseudo tables" but that sounds more
like an Excel issue (or maybe an assumption). You can execute a stored procedure and use/access the resultset of this procedure in Excel, so I'm not certain what your concern is. User simplicity perhaps? Maybe just a terminology issue? Stored
procedures are something I would highly encourage for a number of reasons. Since you refer to pivoting specifically, I'll point out that sql server natively supports that function (though perhaps not in the same way/degree Excel does). It
is rather complex tsql - and this is one reason to advocate for stored procedures. Separate the structure of the raw data from the user.
(I dont really want the time taken for the dashboard refresh to increase - it currently takes approx 45 seconds following SQL Server Engine Tuning Advisor recommendations)
DTA has its limitations. What it doesn't do is evaluate the "model" - which is where you might have more significant issues. Tuning your queries and indexing your tables will only go so far to compensate for a poorly designed schema (not that
yours is - just a generalization). I did want to point out that your refresh process involves many factors - the time to generate a resultset in the server (including plan compilation, loading the data from disk, etc.), transmitting that data over the
network, receiving and storing the resultset in the client application, manipulating the resultset into the desired form/format), and then updating the display. Given that, you need to know how much time is spent in each part of that process - no sense
wasting time optimizing the smallest time consumer.
So now to your sample table - Table A. First, I'll give you my opinion of a flawed approach. Your table records separate facts about an entity as multiple rows. Such an approach is generally a schema issue for a number of reasons.
It requires that you outer join in some fashion to get all the information about one thing into a single row - that is why you have a view to compare rows and generate a time interval between arrival and departure. I'll take this a step further and assume
that your schema/code likely has an assumption built into it - specifically that a "thing" will have no more than 2 rows and that there will only be one row with type "arrival" and one row with type "departure". Violate that assumption and things begin to
fall apart.  If you have control over this schema, then I suggest you consider changing it. Store all the facts about a single entity in a single row.  Given the frequency that I see this pattern, I'll guess that you
cannot. So let's move on.
30 thousand rows is tiny, so your current volume is negligible. You still need to optimize your tables based on usage, so you need to address that first. How is the data populated currently? Is it done once as a batch?  Is it
done throughout the day - and in what fashion (inserts vs updates vs deletes)? You only store one day of data - so how do you accomplish that specifically?  Do you purge all data overnight and re-populate? What indexes
have you defined? Do all tables have a clustered index or are some (most?) of them heaps?   OTOH, I'm going to guess that the database is at most a minimal issue now and that most of your concerns are better addressed at the user interface
and how it accesses your database. Perhaps now is a good time to step back and reconsider your approach to providing information to the users. Perhaps there is a better solution - but that requires an understanding of your users, the skillset of
everyone involved, what you have to work with, etc. Maybe just some advanced excel training? I can't really say and it might be a better question for a different forum.
One last comment - "identity" has a special meaning in sql server (and most database engines I'm guessing). So when you refer to identity, do you refer to an identity column or the logical identity (i.e., natural key) for the "thing" that Table A is
attempting to model?

Sales order stuck in interface with line status shipped in transaction form

Hi All
Can anyone tell me the reason for the sales orders getting stuck in the interface with line status Shipped in the shipping transaction form.
I ran the Interface trip stop -SRS and mode All for this delivery Id. I checked the log file of it. The error showing in the log file is ORA-20001; ORA-20120 none of the Registers have Balances greater or equal to the excisable amount -> 350 or education cess amount ->7.
Please tell me the set up where to check the register balances and how to proceed with this order. can we manually update the registers if required to process this order.
Thanks in advance
Prem.

Hi,
HOLD status
This is an EOIO message whose predecessor was not processed successfully yet. The status is retained until all predecessors are delivered successfully. If a predecessor has the "System error" status and is restarted, all successors are also restarted provided that the delivery of the predecessor is successful.
If a predecessor has the "canceled with errors" status, further processing is not possible in systems before Support Package 11 for the adapter framework and Support Package 10 for the adapter framework core patch 02. In higher version systems, the status of predecessors can only be set to "canceled with errors" in a manual way. Successors that have the "Holding" status can be restarted after you have set the "canceled with errors" status (see related note 811864).

Will somebody provide me with a QBASIC 4.5 PROGRAM for Interfacing with an Anritsu make(model-MS710) RFspectrum analyser through GPIB ( NI-488.2 ) in DOS environment? I would like to aquire data from the instrument and save it in PC for printing purpose.

Hello,
Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other.htm
We develop drivers in CVI and LabVIEW based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one. While this would not provide you with a QBASIC program, you may be able to create a DLL that you could call from QBASIC.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndica
te of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

Interfacing with Solaris IP/ICMP and ARP

Hi,
I am writing a sample driver that interfaces with Solaris IP, ARP and ICMP.
1. I want to get the routing table information from IP from kernel. Is it possible via some standard interfacing?
2. I want to get the ARP entries from ARP cache or send arp requests .
3. I want the ICMP module to generate some error messages
Can these be achieved from the kernel?
Any info in this topic would be of great help.
Thanks,

Perhaps you can help me with some code.

Suggestions on firewire/usb interfaces with 16ch of adat lite pipe

hey guys,
I recently bought an rme fireface 800 and am not too happy with it. looking for a firewire or usb interface with at least 16 channels of adat. can't use any pci options like 2408 because slots are full.
thanks
ej

convertors on the fireface aren't anywhere close to my apogee stuff, digi 192 or the da convertor on the presonus central staion for that matter. did small shoot out between fireface vs apogee da16 vs central station. Fireface was by far the worst of the bunch. Thought it was just me and called a friend who has a ff and a cs. he said the that ff sounded like "pooh: running analog through the central station but sounded great being connected directly to speakers. all of my other convertors sound great coming through the cs (digi 192, apogee trak 2, apogee da 16) but fireface doesn't. all were clocked off of apogee big ben and all were using moogami or monster cable. So the logical conclusion would be that the fireface d/a convertor aren't that good.
In thinking about it maybe the fireface might only sound good when it is using its own clock and doesn't like big ben (I haven't tried that yet). I suppose I could reconfigure things so that when I'm using logic the fireface is the master for everything but I run pt and logic at the same time and would rather not.
It just seems to be a waste to only use the fireface for it's 16ch of adat and routing matrix...but it looks like I might not have a choice.
any insights, comments or suggestions are welcome.
thanks,
ej

T43-W7 (new install) Fingerprint Software not interfacing with power-on password

Went through a remarkably painless upgrade of my old T-43 to W7 yesterday. After the W7 install, I added the Lenovo Toolkit, and let it load the recommended drivers/updates. Then to regain use of the fingerprint function, I d/l'd the latest version of CSS, which seemed to install just fine (per upgrade recommendations, I uninstalled the fingerprints/power-on password prior to upgrade).
In going through the enrollment process, the only checkboxes that appear above each "finger" are for Windows, not for the power-on password. The power-on password isenabled and set in BIOS for both the computer and the hard drive (password identical to the Windows User password). Tried with the Security Chip both Enabled and Disabled, and also tried "Clearing" the security Chip, to no avail.
The result so far is that fingerprint login is working great for W7, but no longer works at all for power on, as it did under W2k. I have an X301 that I upgraded from Vista to W7 on which all of this works perfectly, so I am pretty sure I know what should be possible, but maybe this is beyond the hardware function of W7 with the T43? Am I missing something?

Vince69,
Thank you again for your suggestion. I tried updating the driver using the package you pointed to, and did not have any luck. Kept getting "Driver not found", (and include subdirs was checked). Also tried manually dropping into each subir in the file, and still no luck.
I came across an entry in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/aa965e55-de21-4dd0-93e2-05e6d14... which seems to address the "Unkown Device" issue. Go about halfway down the page, and the instructions provided by James Norman seemed to work for me--at least it made the error message go away.
But the original problem of the Fingerprint s/w interfacing with power-on password is still there. After fixing the device driver problem, I reinstalled Fingerprint Software (I had uninstalled it before fixing the Device Driver issue), and I have the same behavior and selection choices under "Settings" as I had before--none of the settings include anything to do with power-on password.
Any more suggestions?

Using Digi 003 interface with Logic Studio or Pro

I currently have a modified (Black Lion Audio) Digi 003 Rack interface that I use with Pro Tools, but would like to get Logic Studio (or Pro). I have heard 50% say that the Digi 003R or Mixer won't work (properly) with Logic and I have heard another 50% say that it works fine. Can somebody please end this debate once and for all, so I can make the big $500-$1000 decision. I'm really itching to get Logic so I can use all of its great features. I would like to hear that it works fine, but if not, I'd rather know the facts before wasting my money. Thank you to anybody who can put this question to rest.

Lets clear up some things - Logic Studio comes with Logic Pro. . . so that's $500. Logic Pro 7 is old and you don't need it anymore, it WAS $1000. So, no need to spend a grand on Logic.
Next, 003R works absolutely fine as an interface with Logic. The mixer won't work as a control surface (although it will work fine as an interface) because Digi's control surface stuff is proprietary and isn't made to work with Logic.
So, to sum up - Logic Studio is Logic Pro 8 and a ton of other apps and its only $500.
003 Rack works fine with Logic.

Newbie: first time interfacing with existing site

Hi, first post here.
Our company has an existing website that was created several
years ago by someone no longer with the company. It is ColdFusion
based.
For the last few years, I have been in charge of site
management. I have no formal background or training as a webmaster,
so my experience growth has been awkward and unconventional.
I've been doing coding using a text editor to do direct html
manipulation. I then test "live" on our site, usually on a hidden
page. As my company grows, I have not had the time to keep up with
site expansion, and I have yet to date to find a reliable full time
or part time webmaster replacement for me (believe me, I've tried)!
So in the meantime, I have decided to see if I can simplify
my work using Dreamweaver.
So far, I am not off to a great start.
I have downloaded our entire site to our local networked
server in order to have a local architecture mirror. However, since
our local server does not have CF installed, I realize that I
cannot test locally.
I set up remote access to our web server, and Dreamweaver
connects successfully when I test in site management.
However, when I go to "remote view" or "testing server" and
accept the prompt to Get Dependent Files, I always end up with a
partially complete view of the page I want to see, with many
missing elements.
Am I asking too much from Dreamweaver, since in essence I am
asking it to come in and manage a very mature and extensively
developed site after the fact? Is the program able to fully
interface with any established site as long as its programming
language is supported?
Thanks for any basic advice here.
Tod

Sounds like maybe you haven't told us everything. Does your
site use
Coldfusion programming? If so, you can always download the
free
developer version and test locally.
As far as testing HTML locally, you don't need a remote
connection.
You can download the files to your computer and use the
Preview in
Browser to test the pages before you load them. And yes, you
should
be able to scroll up and down and see the entire page if it's
coded
properly.
Or am I totally misunderstanding your question?

Is a stand alone Lightroom compatible and will interface with a cloud PS?

I've been using stand alone versions of LR5 and CS6 and want to convert to the cloud. I am told that there will be conflicts if there is a stand alone and cloud version of LR. True or not? and, will a stand alone LR5 interface with a cloud PS

there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
It works great!
Hope this helps.
