Hi Nagarja,
To answer you question , you can fix the sparse dimension( when you fix a dense dimension , IO is not improved , whereas when you fix sparse dimension , IO is greatly reduced).
ex:
FIX(@CHILDREN(Sparse dim) AND @UDA(abcd,"abc"))
xyzer= xyzer * 2;
ENDFIX
coming to the if ..else statement, it is used to check a condition ,and arrive at a boolean value i,e true or false , so applicability of dense or sparse does not matter , take care of the condition ,which you give.

I have to keep fixing and re-fixing the same broken links in iTunes

Does anyone have a reason, or better yet, a solution as to why I have to keep re-fixing the same dead tracks in iTunes 11? It doesn't seem to matter if i Use 3rd party apps or iTunes Locate feature, I can fix a link then it will just be broken again later. Not all the time though.

Hello, deevho,
First you need to find out if the distributed songs have anything in common, for example the date added or the Artist, since it is obviously not the name of the album. If you can identify some common feature you can create a smart playlist
File > New > Smart Playlist
and define a rule, like "Artist is "
and all your songs will appear in one playlist.
Then select all the songs from the playlist and activate the Information panel "cmd-I". Now set the album, the genre, the artist to a common name.
If however your songs don't have a common feature, then collect the songs by adding them with drag& drop to a regular playlist, and then proceed as mentioned before.
I hope that helps.

Fixing (and RE-fixing) my Pages . . . ( .plist problem). Mayday . . .

So, I did some research in this forum a month or two ago and got some good information on how to fix my Pages program. In order to keep the auto-correction (spelling, grammar, etc), I was told to go into the hard drive and delete the pages.plist file. Sure enough, it worked. . . .
For a while.
Seems like when I restart (well, maybe less frequently--I'm not sure what triggers it), that darn .plist file comes back and messes with the program again. I'm SICK of it.
Can someone tell me how to fix this problem PERMANENTLY ?
Thanks!
Steven

Hi Steven,
The "p" in plist stands for "preferences".
Every OS X application creates a .plist file to store preferences created by the user and by the application. Some of these are choices the User has made in the Application's Preferences panel, others are records of things like where you had a window positioned when you closed it or when you quit Pages.
The file is constantly changing as your actions change the information that is saved there. With this constant change, chances of the file becoming corrupted increase. Deleting the .plist file simply removes the corrupted file, curing any problems caused by the corruption. The application then builds a new, clean file as it needs it.
Of course the new file is just as susceptible to corruption as the previous one was. There may be some action you are taking that is making such corruption more likely, but I don't know what it is or have an idea for an easy way to determine that.
Sorry.

Project Definition Satr and end date

Hello
I have cretaed project with WBSE and Network Activities . Designed for Forward scheduling . The steps are as follows :-
1.After creating the Project Definition , system will provide start date i.e today's date.
2. After Creating Network activities with duration and providing relationships between the activities , then schedule the Project .
3. After scheduling the Project , end date of the project can be seen in the Project definition .
Issue is as follows :-
after confirming the activity , and reschedule the project , system is changing Project Definition start date as well as end date .
required start date should be fixed and end date should be changed according to confirmation of avctivity .
Can u pls suggest what settings are needed .
Regards
DMR

Hi DMRAO,
Please verify the value that is maintained for field 'Plan.meth/basic' on the control tab of the project definition (Planning Dates). It should be Top Down (using this method whenever a project is saved the system automatically checks the dates within the project structure, if time scheduling is not consistent then the project cannot be saved).

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

If i had a crack ipod touch and went in to the store to get it fix but end up paying a 100 dollars for a new one and now the battery usage is no good what can i do

im trying to figure out wat can i do about my ipod i got some months ago from the apple store i had a new one and crack the screen went in to the apple store to get it fix but ended up having to pay a hundred dollars to get a new one now this one shuts off to the home screen when using it and the battery keeps dieding.

Enter the SN of the iPod here to check for warranty:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
If not under warranty you will have to pay the $99 again for a replacement.
The AppleCare for your phone does NOT cover the iPod.

When I try to make a call, it says it's calling, but then it just beeps 3 times and ends the call. How do I fix?

My phone will not complete a call. It beeps 3 times and ends the call...it never rings.

reset your phonr by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Itunes 7 fixes and glitches

For Windows users: There's been a lot of discussion about iTunes 7. Apple definitely need to fix a few bugs. Until then I've compiled a few fixes or should I say things you can try to get around the bugs of itunes 7.
1. Be aware of the fact that only older ipods can revert to 6x. If you have a new ipod (video/nano) your going to have stick with itunes 7 and hope for a fix if you have any problems. Movies can be played on Fifth Generation iPod (iPod with video). You need itunes 7 for movies.
2. From Bradley Price1: How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5
a) Make sure you have a copy of the iTunes 6.0.5 installer. If you no longer have one, download it here:
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11622&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/iTunesSetup.exe
b) Shut down iTunes 7 if it is running
c) Uninstall iTunes 7 via the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
d) Go to your iTunes MUSIC folder (usually C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes). You will see two files called "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library". These belong to iTunes 7, DELETE them.
NOTE: Take care not to confuse this with the iTunes INSTALLATION folder, which is usually C:\Program Files\iTunes.
e) You will also see a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries". Look inside, there may be several copies depending upon your upgrade history with names like "iTunes Library 2006-09-12". Take the most recent one (the last one used by iTunes 6) and COPY it up to the folder C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. Now RENAME this file back to simply "iTunes Library".
NOTE: To copy a file in Windows, right-click the file and choose "Copy". Now go to the folder you wish to copy to, right-click in the empty folder space and choose "Paste".
NOTE: To rename a file in Windows, select the file and press F2. Now type the name you want and press ENTER.
After this is done, your iTunes MUSIC folder (C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes) should contain the following objects:
The file "iTunes Library" that you just copied there and renamed
The folder "Previous iTunes Libraries"
The folder "iTunes Music"
f) Now reinstall iTunes 6. All your playlists and ratings will appear as if nothing had happened. And, your Shuffle will work once more.
3. Try this fix... Change QT control panel to 16 bit 41kHz. I call it a fix because it should be 24 bit as far as I'm concerned. I love Apple products! This is a bug as far as I'm concerned. Squash it fast APPLE!
Make sure you restart your itunes when making the changes in the quicktime control panel. For XP users. Do the following; start>control panels>other control panels. Select the audio tab in quicktime preferences. Rate:41kHz Size:16 bit
More from gswilder: He kept playing around with the Quicktime settings under windows control panel. I had to increase the sound out rate to get it to work. 44.1 KHZ would not work. I went to 64KHZ and it worked. Then on to 192khz and it worked. I have a Creative Pro EMU1212M sound card. So it may be a sound card specific bug. Depending on soundcard and driver versions, you may have to play around with all the quicktime settings to find one that works.
You may need to update DirectX. This did not work for me.
error code 2738 by whereswaldo: It turns out that 2738 means that Windows Installer can't read a VisualBasicScript. Simply install this capability on your pc, and voila- iTunes. This site says that this package isn't for xp, but it allowed my installation to work-

How to set up a crash log:
Good morning, nic0806,
Unfortunately, the interesting meaty bits are the
ones that you've ...'ed out. But why don't we get
ourselves a full installer log and pass it onto the
Apple Engineers?
1. Open a commnd prompt window. (Start menu -> Run.
Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so
that the full pathname of the file is at the command
line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt

One more: Solution to registering modules hang for windows users
by: gailj
I had the same problems as some others installing ITunes 7 -it would hang at registering modules and never complete.
The last time I tried it, I brought up the task manager (ctrl + alt + del) and listed everything in order by name. There were about 6 instances of msiexec.exe running. Clicking and "end task" one at a time, the third one clicked (in use by system) allowed the process to finish and iTunes is now up and running again.
Hope this helps someone else.
Gail
Just a few thought... There's much MORE!

No word of a fix that I know of. There's a lot discussion though. http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/itunes7/index.html#sep16
and

A few links to forums going on. there's other threads as well. I hope they fix it fast.

Fixed and Variable Breakup of Actual Cost

We have implemented Material ledger and also activated actual cost component split. We are getting the actual product cost at month end. In the costing cockpit we get the Peiodic unit price(Actual cost) as well as std price of the material. But In costing cockpit we are not able to get the breakup of Fixed and variable. Whereas we are getting Fixed and varible breakup when we check cost component report in ckm3. But there, we can see individual material wise fixed and varibale breakup.
Can anybody help me so that I can see the Actual Fixed and variable cost for all the products at a time?

Fixed price, is the fixed costs - I usually see it in relation to Overhead..
Fixed costs remain, whether you manufacutre or not.
Say you are deciding whether to out-source an assembly, If you outsource, VARIABLE cost will be saved, Material, labor for that assembly, Overhead representing fringes for that labor, the electricity to run that specific machine. However, you will still have fixed costs of: Management Salary (although some of that can be variable); insurance on the building; heating and cooling for the building; realestate taxes.
If the cost to make "in house" is 150 each and the vendor is going to charge you 100, thi is only a true saving if your fixed costs are less than 50.
SAP allows you to separate fixed and variable costs so that you do make/buy analysis, budgeting, etc
Hope this helps

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:

Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,
Cristinel Anastasoaie
Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

How to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?

how to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?
for example employee names is A,B,C, D, E
and output is C,E,D,B,A

Since you are posting in the design forum, the short answer is - you don't. Rows in a table have no inherent order that you can rely on and the "position" of rows is a visual characteristic that should be implemented by the application that displays
this information or by the query that is used to generate the resultset.
So the next question is how one accomplishes this particular order within a select statement. That is a tsql question which, for future reference, is best posted to the tsql forum. In addition, many of the questions or issues that you will face
have been discussed in the forums - often many, many times. The first thing you should do when faced with an issue is to simply search the forums and leverage the the knowledge that has already been discussed. In doing so you are quite likely to
see suggestions or related issues that you should consider in your search for a solution.
Now, to answer the question - you need to formulate a order by clause that forces the rows to be sorted in the manner you desire. Effectively you have 2 levels of sorting. The first level divides your rows into 2 groups. Group 1 consists
of rows where name = E and Group 2 is everything else. Following that you then need to sort the rows in each group by name in descending order. Something like:
order by case name when E then 1 else 2 end, name desc

Budget Report to show the fixed and variable split for Materials

Hello Gurus,
Could you tell me if there is a budget standards report that will show the fixed and variable split for Materials? Example: Labor, Equip., QC and Overheads?
I need it for the correctly rolled-up 'final material number' step. The report that does this now (without fixed and var split) is the Indented BOM Comparison (sret - cost mgmt-product costing - cost mgmt-customized reports - cost estimate comparison - costed multilevel compare rpt - Indented BOM Comparison).
Thanks,
Jefferson

one simple way is in your final itab declare a slno type i field
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
slno type i,
<other fields>
end of itab.
after filling the data in itab.
loop at itab.
itab-slno = sy-tabix.
modify itab.
endloop.
in fieldcatalog also you have to define that slno field as the first column.
but it will change its order if you are sorting the output or filtering the output.

How long for updates and bug fixes usually?

I'm new to Logic and even new to Macs. I'm just wondering how long does it usually take for Apple to release bug fixes and updates to Logic?
Also, how long did Apple take to get around to providing worthwhile updates to Logic 7? Were there substantial updates changed work flow, functionality, etc?
Basically I'm wondering how long until Logic 8 will be more stable and complete?

Logic 7 was never updated so as to provide any significant changes in workflow over its initial release. But apparently L7 so intrinsically broken that they abandoned any effort to fix it. Instead, they developed Logic 8.
L8 has some very obvious bugs, yes. They need to be fixed yesterday. But as usual, Apple is dragging its feet in this regard.
To your question, how long.... well, L7 updates occurred about every 4 months. There's no telling if they'll be on a more conscientious schedule for releasing L8 updates. They only offer end-users one choice: wait and see what happens.
