FormCalc Master Required!

Hi All!
I have posted several queries on here in the last few weeks, and most of the responses I have got back have offered me Javascript to add to my form to generate the effect I have requested...
None of these have worked, so as such on the recommendation of one the devs, as well as the official SAP Adobe Forms coursebook, i have decided to revert to FormCalc as my forms are all printed forms and the logic i require has only ever been basic!
I used the following statement attached to the form:ready event of a subform set with the script lang set to formcalc, and 'run at' set to server:
if ($record.GV_FORMNAME == "INVOICE")
//where GV_FORMNAME is a structure in the context with a value of either "INVOICE" or "CREDIT NOTE"
then TERMS.presence = "hidden"
//where TERMS is the subform within the set that contains the data to be hidden
ENDIF
It still doesnt work!! Am I missing something? A prerequsite that needs setting in SAP, or in the form or livecycle properties?
I've also tried to see if I can simply 'hide' the subform term by attaching the following to the subform sets form:ready event:
TERMS.presence = "hidden"
ENDIF
This also did NOTHING!
Help!!!!!

Yep!
Ultimately I have tried both script types, running at client, at server or at both, I've added stuff into the scripts that is supposed to generate a popup message box as recommended by the guys on here, but this doesnt even appear when the form is generated.
This leads me to believe there is something else that needs setting up somewhere.
The trouble is, I don't know enough about the setup of SAP or the way things are likely to be working behind the scenes to give you guys an accurate enough picture resulting in accurate answers!
All the SAP Devs/consultants on this project have no real Adobe Forms experience and it was decided the actual form design would be easy enough for a generic IT contractor to do. So it was decided that they draft in a couple of contractors of which I am one...
...the form design itself, now I have a decent grasp of Adobe livecycle, is indeed pretty easy, but I don't know enough about what goes on behind the scenes, and am not fluent in any programming lang, let alone Java...
...this makes things kind of difficult!

Multi-Master Requires Cold Backup?

Since the restore of a multi-master instance requires the restore of the backup and the changelog directories, and since the changelog cannot be backuped up with anything other than an OS copy command, and since an OS copy command will usually not create a valid backup of an open database file, is it not true that multi-master backups must therefore be cold backups?

By "In flight changes" I mean changes which have occurred on one master replica, but have not been replicated to the other. My mindset is on multi-master, but I suppose much of this applies to any supplier / consumer backup/restore (not just multi-master).
Your cold backup procedure is what I have implemented until 5.2. I still have not had time to test restores fully at this point with this backup procedure. I am somewhat concerned that after restoring both instances from their own backups, will replication work and will they synch up correctly.

Communication method in Vendor master required at company code level

Standard Communication method field in Vendor master, which determines the method of communication with the business partner, is placed at General data level. Business uses same Vendor master across company codes / purchase organizations. The communication method for each of them can be different for the same Vendor record. This currently is a limitation in using MDM for Vendor data management. Is there a way to either move std communication method field to purchase org / company code level ? Is there any other possibility availble for meeting this business requirement ?

Hello,
The requirement is to have communication method by country (company code / purchase org). That will enable business to have different communication methods (print, fax, EDI etc) with corresponding Vendor business partners in respective country.
Thanks,

Change number in material master required steps to use

Hi All.
Thanks in advance sap mm dudes.
Need steps in sap mm material master change number.
creation of change number and usage of change number
Display of list of changes.
Regards.
parameshwar

Dear Parameshwar,
1.I assume you have created a change number without release key in CC01.
2.In CC02,for the same change number goto object types and include the check box against material for the first 3 check box and
save the change number.
3.Now check in MM02 for any material master changes or I would suggest you to create a new change number with valid from
date as current date,include the settings for material under object types and then check in MM02.
Check and revert.

30EA2/30EA1 : Selection Behavior on Master-Detail Result Grid

Hi,
Tested on both Win XP and Win 7, SQL Dev with the included jre.
I notice quite annoying behavior on Master-Detail Result Grid.
This happen on either Report with master-detail layout (i.e Active Session from the built-in report), popup describe on several tabs, and objet viewer especially on Table's Partition tab.
Here are the things :
1. Why made the selection on header result cell lose its focus after selecting one?
I understand, that SQL Dev needs to re-query for displaying the detail.
But why not made the selection focus, goes back to the selected (shown by the rectangular yellow line around the cell) header cell ?
2. Point 1 leads to another problem.
In order to copy the cell value, we have to click once again to select the cell value (shown by the rectangular yellow line around the cell) from the master grid and press CTRL + C.
What a waste extra effort here.
Moreover, I noticed some strange thing on object viewer Table - Partition tab.
It is really hard to copy the cell value from this tab, i.e copying the partition name value.
Everytime I press CTRL + C to copy its content, suddenly the cell goes to edit mode, which is read-only of course. CTRL + V to paste seems does not work, like it has nothing in the clipboard to be copied.
And, navigating the cursor from this point would cause the pointer goes to the last character of the cell content, as well as selecting the content using CTRL + Home, is useless.
Is it because there is no detail record on the detail (in this case Subpartition) tab?
However Partition tab on Popup Describe, which supposed to have the same behavior, CTRL + C works just fine.
Is this an expected behavior?

Buntoro

Hi Raghu,
RaghvendraSaboo wrote:
When changing selection in Master grid, the Child grid is repopulated. This also cause the Master grid to lose focus which makes navigating & copying from master requiring to select a cell in it again.
Right ?
Yes. That's right.
I see, you use Child as referred to me as Detail, on which I get the name from Reports (when create User Defined Reports on SQL Dev, there shows Master on the top panel and below is Detail. :-)
If yes, this is the same issue as reported in other thread where executing Statement Runner in worksheet, the worksheet loses the focus & the results grid gets the focus.
The grid has got focus hungry & I am fixing it.Maybe this explains, why there is a small delay before showing the result grid.
I tried to compare from SQL Dev 2.1.1 and 3.0EA1.
3.0EA1 gets a little late (a second maybe) when displaying the result.
For the last item, here are the things :
1. From the Schema Browser (Left Hand Side), expand Tables.
2. Select a partitioned table from the tree, there shown Object Viewer (on Right Hand Side) for that Table. -- I use the term Object Viewer as shown on the Preferences : Automatically Freeze Object Viewer Windows
3. Select Partitions tab
4. Click a cell on Master grid, there you go the losen focus
5. Now, click once again to select
6. Press Ctrl + C
7. It suddenly change to cell's edit mode (of course its read-only cell)
Navigating the cursor from this point would cause the pointer goes to the last character of the cell content, as well as selecting the content using CTRL + Home, is useless
8. Now, go to the worksheet, and press Ctrl + V, nothing happens as if the copied cell doesn't get into the clipboard.

SD required org units

Hello Folks,
I know the standard SD org units required to be able to use SAP SD.
But are org units Client and Company code optional org units when configuring for SD module? To be able to use just the SD module are these 2 units optional?
I think company code is a must since customer master requires company code.
Why I ask is because my trainer told me these 2 are optional and I noted this down on my notes.
Business area is optional that i know. But is Shipping point and transportation planning points also both optional in SD?
So, kindly just confirm for me please.
thanks.

Create client copy
A client is organizational and legal entity in the SAP system. All the business management data is protected here because other clients can not access them. The main objective of the client is to keep the data isolated. The data in a client can be only visible within that client; it can not be displayed or changed from another client. In a physical SAP system there can be multiple clients. Each of these clients can have different objective or each client represents a unique work environment. In a development environment one client can be used as sandbox client (developers learn how to configuration using SAP environment), one can be used as prototype client (users do the customizing according to the companyu2019s requirements and testing) and another one can be used as the master development and configuration client (where the final configuration is done). A client has its own set of tables and user data. There can be multiple clients in each of the system of SAP system landscape . Customizing is a method in the SAP R/3 system that helps the user to configure the functionality from SAP, according to the customer requirements. When the SAP objects are just used by only one client, we define them as client dependant data. There are some objects as ABAP/4 programs, which are used by all the clients in a SAP system. Those objects are called client independent data. The functional changes resulting from customizing can be client specific (client dependant) or general (client independent). You must know the fact that client independent customizing can create problems if the authorizations and the client strategy are not defined properly. For example if you have three clients in a development environment then the role of each client should be defined properly. One of these three clients should be used for client independent customizing and in other clients, users will not have the authority to do any client independent configuration.
Hope it helps ..

Changing Item Master Type

Hi..
there are some raw materials we are purchasing but soon we will be manufacturing at our plant.
is it possible to change its type later on (currently i have defined it as 'Purchased Item' by ticking 'Purchased Item' check box on Item Master screen')
Thanks
arti

Hi.......
Then you can do one thing. You have to create new alternate items for such item master in which you need changes and you have to do necessary changes as per you item master requirement for manufacturing firm.
Once you created you can raise special Production Orders in order to convert existing Items into newly created items so that its stock will be transferred to new one and you can use these new items in place of old Items and Old items would then be canceled either by manually or by DTW.........
Hope this will help you out......

Cannot import OD archive on standalone server to promote to OD master

According to page 169 of th OD server manual, I should be able to restore an OD archive on a standalone server - which will then promote it to OD master. The "..." in the Archive/Restore window is shaded and will not allow me to choose a file to restore from. Tried dragging it in too... didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi
It also says on Page 168:
Instead of restoring an Open Directory master from an archive
you may get better results by promoting a replica to be the master.
The replica may have more recent directory and authentication data than the archive.
Restoring an LDAP database in my view should be done after promotion to Open Directory Master. If the DNS Service is not configured and running then I can’t see how restoring the LDAP database to a Standalone server will restore that service. I also happen to think that if you restore an LDAP database from an OD Master that was having problems then you could possibly be restoring the problem again. Nothing needs to be restored to a Replica as the Replica will pick up what it needs from the Master. Page 169 of the Manual also says:
An Open Directory master requires properly configured DNS so it can
provide single sign-on Kerberos authentication.

DSCC multi-master replication issue

Hello All,
I am trying to setup 2 DSCC consoles with multi-master replication enabled(cn=dscc), facing issue when I see directory server list in both dscc consoles, I see below 2 dscc instances also which should not be there(since they are ADS, should be hidden). Also the changes does not reflect immediately, takes around 30 minutes or so.
Please note I am running 2 ADS instances on one box with port no 3998 and 4000 both are master. Seek your guidance on how to fix this issue.

Binding to Active Directory Problem. I am a Newb! probably something stupid

Hey All,
Trying to get my apple xsever to join our windows domain. I got it to bind and the user accounts show up on the machine but then it askes me to join it to the Active Directory Kerberos realm. I am confused.
what i am trying to do is joint it to the windows domain for my admin account on the actual server and then set up local user accounts on the machine so when my mac users log in they authenticate using the local mac account and not the windows domain account. Does this make sense? From what i read macs authenticate using the local account before going to the windows account which is what i want. I am a total newb to this so forgive me for the stupid questions.
cheers all,
jess

Hi
set up the xserve as an Open directory Master
will it place nice on the network
with the rest of the windows servers that we have.
There should be no problem in doing this. All you need to do is decide whether you want your Mac Server to run its own DNS Service or to use the existing DNS service being provided by the AD Server. Open Directory Master requires DNS Services running somewhere.
i just want to have a mac studio of about 35 people be
kind of an island within a sea of windows users. If
there can be cross over there then fine.. but really
i want the mac to work well with the apple server and
if i can get the windows clients hooked up also then
fine.
There should be no problem with this.
When you say studio do you mean a graphics design studio? Or are you talking about a video production studio? If the answer is yes to either one or both then perhaps a simple file server would do. An Open Directory Master is OK in this environment but your network needs to be up to job. Ideally gigabit ethernet certainly for video production and also if your studio are heavy photoshop users. You could get away with 100Base-T but with 35 heavy users editing files stored on the server as well as Home folders it may be a bit too much. If this is the situation in your studio you would be better placed working locally and saving the files back to the server at the end of the day. You would set up your users with names and passwords in the OD directory node. Your studio can use those account details to log on to the server to access share points but still work locally if they need to. If you start windows services on the mac server then there should be no reason for windows clients to access share points on the mac server as well. Be careful how you configure windows services as you already have existing PC servers on the network.
As you have already stated your aim is to keep the macs completely separate from the PCs then consider connecting all your macs to a separate switch and have them running of a different IP address range and subnet mask. You could then use an intervening router to handle traffic between the two networks, this way you control cross platform access to shared resources. If you understand networks, routers etc then you should be able to accomplish this without too much trouble. Again searching the Server forums should give you plenty of ideas and advice on the best way to achieve what you want. As ever defining and deciding what you want you want the server to do is half the problem.

Home directory is not created and cannot log from client computer

I am trying to set up MacOsX server. I already have another server which is my DNS server. I am trying to create an Open Directory Master server.
Server was updated to 10.4.8 MacOsX from the beginning of existence.
I created couple of users in Open directory domain for testing purposes.
So, the first problem is, that when I am trying to create a user home directory server does not create it and does not give any errors about that. I tried in bash createhomedir utility, it did not work either, again, no error messages.
Another problem:
I set up Open Directory master with LDAP. It was set up correctly, no error messages. At least I did not see any.
The I tried to connect to the server from my client iMac computer which has 10.4.8 MacOsX as well. So I set up LDAP there in Directory services, it was able to find my server and bind to it. Then when I am trying to login with username and password in Open Directory on the server, it does nor recognize it. No error messages in logs as well.
However, if I am trying to use ssh from client machine to connect to Server using the names which are in Open Directory on the server it allows me to do so. But of course it says no home directory defined.
Than you very much for responce!

An Open Directory Master requires DNS running somewhere. You could have a scenario involving 4 servers where: DNS is provided by Server A, Server B is a Web & Mail Server, Server C providing FTP Services and Server D providing LDAP services with managed preferences and automounting Home Directories (ODM). In this scenario DNS is provide by Server A and any other server requiring DNS using Server A’s DNS. You could expand this scenario if you wanted and have replica (fallover) servers for Servers A, B C or D, or if you are the frugal sort just one replica server replicating the 4 primary servers. You can do all of this pretty much in 10.4 GUI with some additional configuration using Terminal

Can't start mysql

when I type "rc.d start mysqld" it displays busy for a while, then fails. At this point it does not generate an error message. I have changed the permissions of /var/lib/mysql recursively to 777. I have also created the mysqld directory in /var/run and given it 777 permissions. I hope I have included all the relevant files.
I have read every suggestion on the internet and gotten nowhere. Please help a noobus out. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I seem to have had an issue with mysql as well and it appears to be that I don't have a sock file as I have checked /var/run/mysqld for mysqld.sock and it does not exist so would that be what is stopping mysql server from starting and if so how do I create the sock file ??
Cheers
Quazza
Update - Actually I solved my problem to, it was to do with my log files filling up but that also led to the bigger problem of a failing HD oh what fun anyway got there before any major data loss.

[resolved] Can not install mysql

Oooops, I fixed it. Somehow /tmp had wrong permissions..
Hello,
after an upgrade my mysql dameon did not work anymore so I did what https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=889846 says and removed all configs and removed it.
Now pacman -S mysql gives my this

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
