Get started with ABAP

Hello Everyone,
I started learning ABAP few days ago (my ABAP knowledge is zero), I went thru Amazon and there're millions of ABAP tutorials / books. Any recommended book for a starter like me? I do have SAP ECC 6.0 or 4.7 to practice and really need a helpful tutorial to go thru the syntax as well as the general concepts of ABAP to get started.
I found this forums very helpful, cheers everyone!

Getting started with SAP Netweaver

Hi there,
I am an IT professional with 7 years of development/project management experience in MS technologies.
I want to learn SAP Netweaver, but very new to SAP!
What is the Pre-requisite to learn Netweaver? Should I know ABAP to get into the Netweaver platform?
Please advice me and provide some useful materials to getting started with Netweaver.
Thanx.
Aslu

Hi Aslam,
there was a recent thread about a similar question of yours, please check out First time in SAP Netweaver
There are so many NetWeaver components so your question is a bit hard to answer.. But if you want to keep on programming, you really don't need ABAP much. NetWeaver is mostly about Java (Web App Server & Enterprise Portal programming), but you have touching points to both .NET and ABAP.
Hope this helps,
-Mikko

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

Getting started with an iBook G3?

Hey,
I just got an iBook G3 (500mhz, snow, airport, 10gb hd, upgraded ram), to compliment my iMac (G5 rev c) and I'm a little new.
It was used, I got it via trade.
Does anyone have some tips for me to get started with it ? I'm wanting to upgrade the HD to at least 20 GB, and to max out the ram. Any hints on that ?
Also, where can I get a new battery and charger ?
Also, what else should I know about it ?
It will mainly be used for writing (novel, fan-fics), surfing the web (wirelessly), and when I'm traveling...
Oh, it has OSX10.2 installed.

Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How much RAM is installed?
Does it have the original AirPort card installed? (You may want to install one, if not, to enable wireless access to the internet.)
Did the original system CD's and the OS X 10.2 software CD's come with it? If not, try to get the person you got it from to give them to you. You will need them if you intend to upgrade the hard drive (and for maintenance, even if you don't upgrade the hard drive).

Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from a logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and be aware of how this logic board problem manifests itself.
It has been suggested that you can minimize the chance of a logic board failure of this sort by never picking it up by the front left corner alone. Pick it up with both hands or in the center under the trackpad.
It's also a good idea not to close it any more often than you need to in order to minimize the chance of the backlight cable (and other cables and wires) becoming pinched in the hinge or broken. When you have some time, check out the Discussion thread in the Displays Forum entitled 90 degrees and black out!!!!
Information on using the battery to maximize both life and lifespan can be found here.
You can download the manual for the iBook (Dual USB) from this page:

Good luck, and happy iBooking!

Java Applet HelloWorld "Getting Started With Applets" example not working

Hi there,
It's been ages since I ran my Linux CentOS boot of Linux but I am going through the official oracle java applet tutorials, just every time I try and run the "Hello World" applet in Firefox 17.0.3 and I am running the Iced Tea thing for java applets.
Every time I try and run the example from the following code:
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class HelloWorld extends JApplet
// called when the user enters the html page:
public void init() // keep apps within the init() function very small as per the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html
    try{
      SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
        public void run()
       JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
       add(myLabel);
        } // end running the application
      }); //end of swing invokeand wait
    } catch (Exception error){ // end user running the app in page
       // System.err.println("GUI didn't work on initial run");
}It keeps bringing up the error "Start: Applet not initialized" I did google that basic error and from what I found I should consult the JavaConsole, I know the console was removed from the Firefox menu quite a while ago. So went to find a way of loading it using the IcedTea one but it keeps bringing up a load of errors in even trying to run that.
Is there anyway of sorting this out? I mean I have even tried installing the one on the oracle website, the plain JDK but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone that can help me get applets working? I was even going to go as far as to reinstall my distro but I want to avoid that as much as possible.
Thanks and I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.

in the Getting Started with Java DB tutorial they
tell u how to set ur "DERBY_HOME" (what is that?).
once i press enter after typing this command:
set DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java
Phonebook\javadb in my command prompt do i get
any message or does it just go to the next line?type env or set or whatever in the command line to see what your environment variables are set to
they also tell u how to set ur "JAVA_HOME" (what is
that?). The Java installation you want to use
in their example they give u this: set
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05but in my java folder i have jdk1.6.0 and jre1.6.0
but no j2se1.4.2_05, so which 1 must i choose?It's up to you. I'd go with 1.6
also once ive done this: set
DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java Phonebook\javadb this
set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0 and this set
PATH=%DERBY_HOME%\bin;%PATH% and then type
sysinfo to verify that the variables were set
correctly i get these errors: 'D:\Java\Java' is
not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file and '""'
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file any help would
really be appreciated because this is really killing
me!you need to set your path variable - so something like:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05\bin

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

Getting Started with FCE - Problems with my imported files

Hi,
I'm trying to get started with Final Cut Express, but I'm experiencing lots of problems when I import my project from iMovie.
My project contains video, which I imported into iMovie at 960 x 540. It also contains some keynote animations, which I exported from Keynote as quicktime files.
When I export my files to FCE, I instantly get problems.
1) When I add the imported file to the sequence, I get an "Attention the clip does not match the sequence's setting or any of your sequence settings" error.
2) Whether I choose to translate my settings or not, I try to play the video in the timeline, but there is a continuous beeping sound, no audio from my video and when it hits the keynote animations, it just says "unrendered" or "media offline".
Please can you offer any advice on how I can get started with FCE more successfully.
Thanks!

Hi(Bonjour)!
(please specify iMovie and FCE version)
Well, your sequence settings in FCE should be DV-PAL 48 Khz.
Create a new sequence.
From iMovie and Keynote, export your movie with quicktime conversion andd select DV-PAL 48 kHz (*And Not* DV Stream...). This material should play without rendering because his format and codec match the sequence's codec.
Import your files and everything should be OK.
Michel Boissonneault
The audio should be AIFF 48 kHz 16 bit linear PCM

Error, in Getting started with Labview. Chapter 3, part 4.

Hi.
Still struggling on, trying to find the time to work through the "Getting Started with LabVIEW" document.
Only 19 days left to go, and I'm still only in chapter 3!...
Right. In the "Saving Data When Prompted by a User" exersise, part 4...
4.   Right-click the Signals input of the Write To Measurement File
      Express VI and select Insert Input/Output from the shortcut menu to
      insert the Comment input.
Problem is, that option is greyed out, so not available!...
I did what the instructions said, I right clicked on the "Signals" input, and it doesnt do what it says on the tin!
Any pointers?   Please don't mention search the help, I've crashed the entire LV environment 3 times now, trying to search for something in there. It's OK if it finds someting, but it seems to bomb at times, when there is some ambiguity when searching.
Also, I won't be able to do anyting with any replies for a day or two, as I have to go up country to a customer, and mess about with hot oil, high volts, and lots of RF. It never ends.   (I've still got the day job to do, while trying to fight my way through this "evaluation". 30 days of "Use" would be better, than 30 calendar days for some of us.)

OK... Who let the smoke out?

Hi Dennis, and everyone else..
That is not how it looks when first dropped on the BD. On my machine, it is partialy expanded by default, after you clear the Configure dialog that pops up ocupying most of the screen.
Again, if it makes a difference to the way the Right Click shortcut menu works, it should be documented in the Getting Started document, especialy as it seems to be a critical point.
OK, explain this...
I've just rubbed out the save to file VI, cleaned up the broken wires etc, and then planted a new one on the BD. Once I cleared the Configure dialog that covers up most of the screen before you see it the first time, the VI was partialy expanded. I forget the exact list, but "Signals" was not at the top.
I did *EXACTLY* the same again, deleted it, cleaned up, and then planted a fresh new one. That DID appear that time with nothing but the "Signals" item showing, and two down caretts below that, indicating more items.
So......
Why the different behaviour each time, on the same BD, in the same session. Some underlying working data not being correctly initialised when invoked? Of course, that never happens, right? ('C' programmes eh?)
Trying some more, it seems the behaviour loosley depends on just how close to the edge of the While loop grey border you place it.   Odd.   I have a 1280x800 screen to play with, and a 1280x1024 second screen I use for the Getting Started document. That is the absolute maximum I can have, due to hardware limits.
I also find, that if you fully expand the "Write to Measurement File" VI block, then fully collapse it, then expand it again, all the items in that list have changed places! Why?
I had noticed earlier that there is no uniformity in the layout of even the items common to many if not all VI blocks (error in, and error out to name but two) Sometimes one is above the other, sometimes the other way round, sometimes they are not even ajacent to each other. Has that been done as a source of minor ammusement or something?
Talking to another colegue here, who just wandered in to see how I was getting on with this. Seems he also has tried the introductory entry into LV (V8.something) in the past. But he too, found too many things that behaved differently from one time to another, so abandoned it as a lost cause, then decided to learn how to use Visual Basic with NI-GPIB IO instead.   Not without issues either he said, but at least it all behaves exactly the same, each and every time.
End of the day now...
Regards.

How do I stop the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox page from opening everytime I start Firefox. If I have to see that everytime then I will delete Firefox for good...!!!!

Everytime I start firefox since the last update I can't get the stupid Getting started with firefox page to stop opening up. I downloaded the version 8 and it still opens ..

Well the latest and Greatest Firefox Version 8.0. Won't let me change my home page no matter what I do it always comes back with the getting started page and my orignal home page.
What a piece of garbage it is turning into..!!!!

Getting Started with Swept Sine (DAQmx) Multiple Response Signals

Hi,
I've been using the modified version of the Getting started with swept sine.vi for multiple response signals
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24474. Program fully suitable.
However, I am facing with three issues :
1) The edits are highly non user friendly (horrible for 6 multi-channel already), and quite long to perform.
2) Would there be a way using for loops to have a more compact and flexible way to use FRF? (Calling 6 times the same program in a similar structure does not quite seem like a smart move yet I'm relatively novice in LabVIEW).
3) Be able to set the number of channels somewhere in the software, and automatically have the software to be able to cope with this? (aka if 20 multichannels are needed, no need to modify the code?)
It's probably going to be a lot of work to get there, all I'm asking for you guys is to point me in the right direction and suggestions,
Cheers,
Kentmey

Thanks for your help and time.

Signing up and getting started with HP Instant Ink
Note: your printer must be connected to the Internet through a wireless connection.
How does HP make sure you’ll always have ink? Your printer uses the Internet to let us know when to send more ink. Here’s how you can get all the ink you need, delivered to your door.
Purchase an eligible printer.
Enroll in a plan based on the number of pages you print.
Ink, shipping, and cartridge recycling are included.
No annual fee—Change or cancel your plan anytime.3
We’ll mail special HP Instant Ink cartridges to you.
Our cartridges have more ink than standard HP ink cartridges, so you’ll replace them less often.
Billing and service start after you insert your first HP Instant Ink cartridge.
Your printer will tell us when to send ink.
Your service is not based on how many cartridges you use, so print as many high quality photos as you like.
You’ll always have ink before you need it.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

When you enroll in an HP Instant Ink plan, you pay a monthly fee to print a defined number of pages per month. The plans are based on the number of pages that you print, not on how many ink cartridges you use. Your monthly fee pays for ink, shipping, and recycling. If you do not print all of your plan pages in a month, you can roll over up to the number of pages per month in your plan. If you print more pages, there is an additional charge. Ink is included — the plans are based on your usage so you pay for the pages you print, not the ink cartridges HP sends you. A printed page counts the same whether it is black and white, a color document, or a photo. Shipping is included.
