Good idea, needs a bit of work

After using the app for a day, I've gone back to the default music app. It doesnt sync progress with iTunes so thats a bummer. The biggest issue I had though was with the autodownload. I would subscribe to a podcast and mark all as played since I have in fact listened to all of the eps for that one. I just wanted autodownload for future eps. Then I started getting episodes downlaoded that were released over 2 years ago. It seems like the app is getting additional past episodes after dowbloading the initial list and just downlaoding them too. Theres no way to cancel the download either. I can only pause it. Swipe to delete only works once its done downloading. I decided to just disable autodownload on all my podcasts. Because of that, I started getting weird phantom double entires in my podcast subscriptions. Duplicate titles with 0 episodes. Force quitting the app would sort it out temporarily, but another would show up eventually. The app is a neat idea, and one very overdue. I can see the need for it to further make an iOS device independent of a PC. But for someone who uses a PC to sync content regularly, this app should have been something released later. Perhaps with iOS 6 and iTunes rewritten to manage podcasts between it and the app. Letting Music and Podcasts share the database on the device seems to be creating a massive syncing issue. Perhaps also allow us to define a timerame for considering a podcast "new". Like only downloading episodes released in the past week. This would solve the issue of having 2-3 year old episdes be downlaoded as "new" unplayed eps..

but when I plugged into
my mac, it didn't sync....hmmmmm.....went and had a
look on the Nano and it had gone! Arghhhhh! I now
have no record of my time....my best time.....now I'm
going to have to try and run it again now!!
If I understand what you're saying, the Nano is saying your run is no longer on the nano. Right?
Wait. Don't panic. If you disconnect the USB cable very quickly after uploading through iTunes, your Nano will say that there are no runs in its history. Freaked me out the first few times I found my Nano saying I had no runs in my history. But if you reconnect to iTunes, you should see the history reloading onto your Nano. Don't ask me how or why this happens.

  • Still needs a bit of work (apple take note)

    I love this - it is amazing and it is helping me out loads....
    However, there are glitches with syncing data (there are work-arounds) and Apple need to sort these and make it easier to re-submit your data. Probably the worst for me was tonight....just went out and ran my best ever 5 mile run (due to this amazing device!). I could see the details on the screen, 35min 50 secs, pace 7.44 (this is quick for me! Hmmm infact I guess my pace would be quicker than this as the Nano says 4.75 miles whereas this is my normal track which I've mapped out to 5miles via GPS) but when I plugged into my mac, it didn't sync....hmmmmm.....went and had a look on the Nano and it had gone! Arghhhhh! I now have no record of my time....my best time.....now I'm going to have to try and run it again now!!
    Please Apple guys, when the WWDC is finished please sort a few of these little glitches as this is a very cool and helpful gadget....

  • Why does it take so long for microsoft to incorporate good ideas into programs, but then after they do no one elses software will work on the system?

    Case in point: I can not use Xp any longer since it is not supported by microsoft, and latest lan driver requires xp service packs which are no longer available for XP or Vista. So my old software as of April 2014 is now worthless as internet access software(microsoft
    will not provide support or service packs for xp). So I get a new pc with WIN7 op system installed and try to do traditional backups to protect myself should my system crash in the future. (usually this means cloning a hard drive or installing Faronics Deep
    Freeze to protect my op system in case of catastrophic failure.) I try to install and use some of these utility software types including Acronis Disk Director 12, Avanquest Perfect Image, Partition Commander 10, and others True Image Hdd utility for cloning
    hdds. Most of these I try to run turn out to be useless, and I get pop-up messages saying my software is incompatible with win 7 op sys! I am wondering if it is the software or the fact the op system is 64bit (not 32 bit) which means that if you buy any other
    software to help with utilities it will be worthless because most are written for 32 bit systems not 64. No one tells you these warning signs when you buy the pc with the 64 bit software already installed. But for a Toshiba 15" computer that normally
    costs 400$ and I can get it at Goodwill used computer store(1stStreet and Fairview in Santa Ana, Ca.) for 175$ I can not complain. Being an unemployed electronic technician, I have to stretch my dollars as far as they will go...Another frustrating thing is
    I buy this device made by Apricorn Driveware that allows users to hookup a second hdd using a usb cable and a three connector module that will allow the user to connect any hard drive sata or ide or the 3rd type. I try to run it and make a backup copy of internal
    hdd but I get error messages saying it can not copy hdds when there are minor differences such as total mbs on each drive or slightly different hardware issues such as my pc has 580 gb internal drive and replacement backup drive is 380gb. Such as shame because
    hardware setup is a good idea but without compatible software it is useless! Perhaps if I was using it on my old xp op systems I would have fewer problems with software compatibility issues. I really hate the fact that MS does not provide support for known
    good op systems like xp say 20yrs? When the products and markets change so fast they run the risk of alienating customers who can not financially keep up with technology changes especially during an economic depression such as the one we are in now( they predict
    it will last 20 yrs). a curious thing about the Acronis disk director 12 software I installed. It seemed I could not get partion size on hdd to change no matter what I did. I found out that if I CHANGED THE DATA BLOCK SIZE ON THE NTFS PARTITION FROM 4 KB TO
    2 KB THAT I WAS NO LONGER LIMITED BY THE SOFTWARE FROM SHRINKING THE HDD PARTITION FROM 300GB DOWN TO 100GB. Once this item was changed on the hard drives the Disk Director 12 software (Acronis) was able to shrink the partition size to what I wanted.

    Due to phenomenal development in Windows, Microsoft released 4 generations of operating systems, succeeding Windows XP. Hence, on various aspects, Windows XP becomes too old to be used practically these days. So the support was pulled out.
    I do agree that Windows XP is the most successful operating system ever, so far. But, later versions added more features, enhanced security and compatibility. Moreover, at this point, Windows XP becomes more vulnerable, although security patches are made.
    Ultimately, we need to move to a more secure, feature-rich and highly compatible operating system.
    With improved features in newer versions of Windows, the NTFS filesystem has also been improved, adding new features. Hence, certain feaures that are not availble in Windows XP are available in Windows 7, again, in Windows 8.1. So is the disk management
    features.
    As for Acronis Disk Director, it's a third party software and hence we can't comment on the features/its working.

  • Need to get a mibile computer and i am considering the macbook pro 15". Is that a good idea?

    Need to get a mibile computer and i am considering the macbook pro 15". Is that a good idea?

    The 15" is the ideal size, the 17" is a bit larger and more comfortable.
    The 13" is a bit cramped, the 11" forget it.
    The 11 and 13" have the poor Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics (solely) which are not good at 3D gaming/video and tend to overheat as the CPU is also doing the graphics.
    The 2.0 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro has a slightly better video card that does average on most current 3D games.
    The 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro (and higher) does excellently on 3D games with the powerful 1GB radeon 6750M and "future proofs" your computer investment for 3, 5, 7 years or longer.
    It all depends upon your portability and use needs.
    If your not a 3D gamer and can afford to replace your machine in shorter time periods and all you need is a basic laptop, then one of the smaller thinner machines will do. In fact even a Windows PC laptop can do. There really isn't any advantage of going for a Mac laptop at the lower end excpet for status symbol appeal. Your going to be paying $1500 for a laptop that a $800 PC will do just as well.
    However if your needing more of a portable workhorse machine the 2.2 Ghz MacBook Pro or better is ideal, it can run jsut about all the operating systems out there well, bootcamp into Windows and everythng with it's strong hardware and decent sized screen.
    Also the 15" and up have the optional ANTI-GLARE screens which is great for classes and at work where you can't control the enviroment to reduce reflections.
    If your on the go a lot, you can get a iPad in addition to the 15" MacBook Pro, if you need a larger screen you can buy that and use the MBP as a desktop machine sort of.
    The smaller Mac machines don't drive a larger monitor very well, really you need a dedicated graphics card.

  • TS4062 hi can somebody help me... itunes does not accept the iphone 4s but i already have the version 64 bit to work with windows 7 64 bit,  the computer recognizes the phone but itunes sais i need 64 bit itunes.... please is there something im missing...

    hi can somebody help me... itunes does not accept the iphone 4s but i already have the version 64 bit to work with windows 7 64 bit,  the computer recognizes the phone but itunes sais i need 64 bit itunes. please is there something im missing... thanks

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Can photoshop CS5.5 work on a 32 bit processor or does it need 64 bit.  It keeps crashing on 32 bit.

    My photoshop CS 5.5 keeps crashing all the time.  Can photoshop CS5.5 work on a 32 bit processor or does it need 64 bit.  I am running it on 32 bit.  Could this be the problem?

    Hi, thanks for that.  I just had a live chat with adobe and they sent me
    through the system specs for CS5.5 and it said a 64 bit processor, nothing
    about 32 bit, but I have no doubt you are correct because I do think I may
    have read that somewhere else myself.  I am not computer savvy so am loathe
    to uninstall etc.  Am looking to update my computer and getting CS6 so
    hoping that will sort the problem out.  Do you know much about plugs in?  I
    do have a few plug ins such as topaz adjust, nik silver efex, imagenomic and
    one one perfect photo suite 7.  It has been suggested to me that I uninstall
    them all but again not too good at that sort of thing. 
    Thanks for replying to my query.  I appreciate it.

    Hi
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    Basic terminology used in the workflow:
    The workflow definition is the set of rules that determine the path that the process takes. For example, how a purchase requisition is processed, from the initial request to the creation of the purchase order
    A Workflow Instance, which is often simply referred to as the workflow, is a single workflow run. For example, the processing of a single purchase requisition for computers.
    The Tasks are the steps in the process, which have to be performed either by people or automatically by the software. For example, to check for the availability of the spare computers in the company.
    A Work item is the task instance that is performed as a single workflow step. For example, check that there are no spare computers available in the company.
    Agents are the people who process the tasks (via the work items). For example, requisitioner and a member of the purchasing department.
    Container is the place where all the data used in the workflow is collected.
    Binding is the set of rules that define which data is passed to which part of the process.
    Building a simple workflow application
    The central tool for creating, displaying and processing a workflow is the workflow builder (Transaction SWDD). Within the workflow builder you can create all components of a workflow, including all the containers you need for getting the data from one step to another.
    Generally, most of the workflows are started by an event (for example, when a material is created or when a new purchase requisition arrives). You define which data from this event needs to be passed to the workflow via binding.
    However you can also start any workflow directly. Let us create a simple workflow and start the workflow directly, using the testing tools.
    Call transaction SWDD. When the workflow builder is called for the first time, a newly created initial workflow definition appears or else last created workflow appears. In such cases you can opt to create a new workflow by pressing “Create New Workflow”(ctrl + shft + F5). The following screen appears.
    The initial workflow screen has the following parts:
    a. The start of the workflow definition, indicated by .
    b. The end of the workflow definition, indicated by .
    c. The area in which you insert the new workflow definition is indicated by .
    Now select the undefined step and select Create step or double click the undefined step. Now among the different steps chose the User Decision by double clicking on it.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    Previous
    Now enter the title for the user decision “ Please make a decision”. Also enter the decision texts as Approve and Reject. On pressing enter, the outcome values default to the Decision texts but you can specify your own names, if desired. Now we need to select the agent. Agent is the person to whom the work item needs to be sent.. Since this is just a beginning, we would hardcode the user name. Select the User from the drop down list and enter the user name to whom the work item needs to be sent. In general, this type of agent assignment is not done. Agents are generally assigned using the expression, agent assignment rule or organization object (job, position etc.).
    Now select Transfer and to graphic button. Following screen appears:
    Now we need to include a mail step to be sent to the requestor. Now select the line “Approve” and do a right click. Different options on shown on the context menu. Select Create.
    Now select the step “Send Mail” from the list.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    ...Previous
    Now enter the subject and the body of the message for the mail to be sent.
    Do not change the recipients. Our mail is intended for the persons who triggered this workflow. &_WF_INITIATOR& contains the value who executed the workflow. Since this is a test object, we are using &_WF_INITIATOR&. But we wouldn’t be using this variable in real time scenarios. We would discuss about this in the coming documents.
    Now select Transfer and to graphic button.
    A popup appears requesting for the abbreviation and the name for this task. Enter the same and press enter.
    Now enter the package as local object and press enter.
    Follow the steps 5 through 9 for the step “Reject”. The following screen appears:
    Press SAVE to save the workflow application. You need to enter an abbreviation and name for your workflow as shown below. You can change any of these at any later point. After saving, a number is assigned to your workflow starting with WS, as shown below.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    ...Previous
    To execute the workflow, activate it by choosing the activate button.
    Test the workflow by choosing Test. The following screen appears.
    Now choose Execute to start the workflow.
    Now the recipient would receive a work item in his SAP® inbox (Transaction SBWP).
    Now execute the work item by pressing “Execute”. The following screen appears:
    Choose one among Approve or Reject as part of the user decision. He can select the third option to retain the work item in his inbox and make the decision later. Now suppose that the recipient has chosen one of the first options. Now a mail would be sent to the requestor with the status of his request.
    Creating a Container element
    This document details about creation of a container element in workflow and using it in the step "Mail".
    Pre-requisites:
    It is assumed that the reader of this Tutorial is aware of creating a workflow definition with the step “Mail”. If not, please go through the document on creating the same available, by clicking here.
    Steps:
    1. Create a workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
    2. Let’s create a container element for Carrier id. Click on the “Workflow Container” on the left side of the screen (as shown in the screenshot below):
    3. Now double-click on “Double-Click to Create”
    4. Enter the details pertaining to CARRID here.
    5. Click on tab “Properties” and select “Import”.
    6. Click on “Confirm (Enter)”.
    7. Now the element created could be seen on the left side, below the “Workflow Container”.
    Creating a Container element
    Previous
    1. Create a “Mail” step by double-clicking on “Undefined” step in the workflow.
    2. Enter the recipient details in the “Recipients” box.
    3. In the subject line, enter “Carrid value entered is:” and click on “Insert Expression”.
    4. Select the element “Carrid” from the list.
    5. Similarly enter the content in the “Body” area.
    6. Save and activate the application.
    Testing the Workflow application:
    7. Test the workflow by clicking F8.
    8. Enter the value of the Carrid as shown above and press execute.
    9. A mail would be sent to the recipient mentioned earlier with the carrid value entered.
    Condition Step
    Agenda:
    This document details about the steps “Condition”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition.
    2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
    3. Now click on undefined step and create the step “Condition”.
    4. Enter the step name of your choice.
    5. We would have the following condition here:
    If carrid = ‘AA’.
    Do this.
    Else.
    Do this.
    Click on “Click here to create a new condition”. Following screen appears.
    Double click on “Carrid”. Next click on “=” and enter the value “AA” in the constant field and press ENTER.
    Enter the outcome names of your choice as shown above.
    Click on “Transfer and go to graphic”.
    As shown above, there are two branches here. One navigates to true, if CARRID = ‘AA’ else the control takes the branch “False”.
    Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in the above 2 branches and by passing different CARRID values.
    Condition Step
    Agenda:
    This document details about the steps “Multiple Condition”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition.
    2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
    3. Now click on undefined step and create the step “Multiple Condition”.
    4. Enter the step name of your choice.
    5. We would have the following condition here:
    If carrid = ‘AA’.
    Do this.
    Elseif carrid = ‘AH’
    DO this.
    Elseif carrid = ‘SQ’
    Do this.
    Else.
    Do this.
    Select the “CARRID” using the F4 help for the comparison basis field.
    Enter the values of the carrid under the Comparison values with the corresponding outcome name (of your choice)
    Double click on “Carrid”. Next click on “=” and enter the value “AA” in the constant field and press ENTER.
    Click on “Transfer and go to graphic”.
    As observed above, there are different branches for each value of CARRID mentioned above.
    Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in all the branches and by passing different CARRID values.
    Using "Container Operation" step
    Agenda: Usage of step “Container Operation”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this tutorial has worked in the concepts that are dealt in earlier tutorials. (click here for more details)
    Scenario: In this tutorial, we would deal about how to work with the step “Container Operation” with an example of calculating the available seats by subtracting occupied seats from the maximum seats at the workflow level.
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
    2. Create two container elements MaxSeats, Occ_Seats with the “import” property set. You can use the reference fields sflight-seatsmax, sflight-seatsocc for this.
    3. Create another container element AvailableSeats without setting either import or export property as this is calculated within the workflow and used within the workflow. You might use any of the above reference fields as data types.
    4. Define a new step “Container Operation” in the workflow definition by double-clicking on the “Undefined step”.
    5. In this step, we would calculate the available seats from the max seats and seats occupied.
    I would recommend entering all the container elements from the F4 help instead of typing them manually.
    6. Return to the main screen.
    7. Create a mail step after this to send the available seats information.
    8. Test the above functionality by passing some values to the maximum and the seats occupied.
    9. Result would be as follows:
    Triggering Events Programmatically
    Purpose: This document details the procedure in triggering the business object events programmatically.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document is aware of the business object concepts and good in ABAP.
    Procedure:
    In this document, we would take an example of the business object BUS1001006 (Material) and the event CREATED. In general, this event is triggered whenever a material is created using a standard procedure like MM01 or any others. Now we would trigger this event from our own programs.
    Following are the screenshots of the business object BUS1001006 and the event CREATED. Go to transaction SWO1 for more information of the business object.
    Double-clicking on the key field parameter gives you technical information of the field.
    In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
    Following is the sample code to trigger the events programmatically:
    REPORT ZDEMO_TRIGGER_EVENT.
    DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.
    KEY = '1163'. “ Material Number (hard-coded)
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
    objtype = 'BUS1001006'
    objkey = KEY
    event = 'CREATED'
    CREATOR = ' '
    TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
    START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
    START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
    NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
    DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
    NO_LOGGING = ' '
    IDENT =
    IMPORTING
    EVENT_ID =
    TABLES
    EVENT_CONTAINER =
    EXCEPTIONS
    OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
    OTHERS = 2
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ELSE.
    WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
    ENDIF.
    COMMIT WORK.
    In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
    Press ‘Switch On”.
    Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
    Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:
    Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
    A major advantage of workflow is the ability to monitor the workflow steps according to a predefined schedule. Following are different deadlines that can be monitored against each workflow step:
    • Requested Start
    • Latest Start
    • Requested End
    • Latest End
    In this example, we will define a deadline to the User Decision example created earlier (click here). Following is the screenshot of the application developed using the User Decision example:
    We would extend this example to the deadline monitoring.
    In the User Decision step, click on the “latest end” tab.
    By default, No deadline monitoring is active (as seen in the above screenshot).
    Choose the “Work Item Creation” from the list box.
    After selecting “Work Item Creation”, chose an offset of 5 minutes. This means that the work item must be executed within 5 minutes of the creation, if not this would trigger.
    Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
    Enter recipient details to whom the message to be escalated, if the work item is not executed with in 5 minutes after work item creation.
    Save and activate the workflow definition.
    Testing the workflow application:
    • Execute your workflow.
    • Check for the work item in the SAP Inbox. This time do NOT execute the work item.
    • Wait for the deadline to be triggered. After that, a deadline message is delivered to the recipient mentioned in the “Latest End” tab. See the screenshot below.
    Don’t worry if the deadline message doesn’t appear immediately after 5 minutes. This depends on various factors including how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled and also on the availability of the background processors.
    Use SWWA to check how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled in program.
    For example, assume that our work item has been created at 09:10 hrs and the deadline message is expected to trigger at 09:15 hrs. From the above screenshot, it is understood that the background program is scheduled to execute for every 3 minutes. Assume that the last run of the program is at 09:14hrs and the next run is expected at 09:17hrs. So even our deadline expires at 09:15, the deadline message would appear only at 09:17hrs after execution of the background program.
    Some more points
    In our above example, we have used the deadline on the “Work Item” creation time. i.e., 5 minutes after creation time, the deadline message would be sent. Now we would check the other option “Expression”. Here we can mention the date and time, when the deadline message should appear irrespective of the work item creation date/time.
    As seen in the above screenshot, we can provide the target date and time by which the task should be finished. Container elements could be used in this case. Please refer to our example on creation of container elements (click here).
    Personal Substitute in Workflow
    Requirement: Need to have at least one substitute who can act upon work items in your absence.
    Important: The appointed substitute would be able to see all your work items. A substitute cannot be assigned for only particular area of organization or any other item. So need to ensure that the substitute have the necessary authorizations to act upon the work items.
    Procedure:
    1. Go to SAP Business Work Place (TCode: SBWP)
    2. Now from the menu bar, select Settings à Workflow settings à Maintain Substitute
    3. Highlight/Select the name on the window, in this case SAPDEV02 and click on “Create Substitute”.
    4. List of users available in the system are displayed.
    5. Select the required substitute user name. Following screen appears.
    Validity field describes about the period in which the setting would be active. Note that the dates on the screen would range from the current date to 31st Dec 9999.
    Regarding the checkbox “Substitution active”, it is advised to leave this checkbox unchecked for system performance reasons. A check in this box indicates that the substitution is “permanent” and if left unchecked it is treated as “as-needed”. A permanent substitute will automatically receive the primary users work items in their own box. In the case of “as-needed”, substitute must manually adopt the work items from the primary user’s inbox.
    6. Save the entries
    7. Click Enter to leave the screen.
    Adopting a Substitute in Workflow
    If you have been designated as an “as-needed” substitute, you must manually adopt the substitution. If you are designated as a “permanent” substitute, the work items would automatically appear in the inbox.
    Before adopting a substitution, there are 19 work items in the inbox. See the screenshot below:
    To adopt a substitution, select Settings à Workflow settings à adopt substitution.
    Select the corresponding User-id (if you have been assigned as a substitute for multiple people, then this option would allow you to select the user name of whom you would to check the work items)
    The corresponding user’s work items would appear in our inbox now.
    You can end the substitution, by selecting settings à Workflow settings à End substitution.
    Note: Substitutes can only adopt work items that are directly routed to the person for whom they are a substitute. If you are a substitute for a user (SAPDEV02) who has been made a substitute for another user (SAPDEV01), you will only see work items for user SAPDEV02 and not of the user SAPDEV01.
    Notification of Work Items via e-Mail
    SAP provides us with a facility of notifying the user via the email address of your choice when there are any pending work items in the SAP Inbox..
    1. Go to Transaction SO13.
    2. Click on Automatic Forwarding tab.
    3. Click on Create icon .
    4. Enter the details in the above screen.
    5. Click ENTER to complete the entries.
    6. Now the notification would be received at the provided email address if there are any pending work items in the inbox.
    Filtering the Work Items in the SAP Inbox using BADI
    This document details about the procedure in filtering some of the work items from the SAP inbox using a BADi.
    Following is the screenshot of the SAP inbox, before implementing BADi:
    The BADi that is used in filtering the work items is WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER. To implement the BADi, go to transaction SE18. From the menu, select Implementation à Create. (See the screenshot below)
    Enter the implementation name and press ENTER
    Enter any meaningful short text for the implementation and click on the tab “Interface”
    The implementing class, ZCL_IM_BWP_SELECT_FILTER, is automatically proposed. Double click on the implementing class name.
    You are now navigated to the class builder. Now double-click on the method name shown on the screen (see the snapshot below)
    Now let us filter out the work items belonging to the task TS2000066. See the code below:
    Activate the method and also the implementation. In the state of active, you wouldn’t be able to make any changes. To make any changes, we need to deactivate it and then make the changes.
    Now check the inbox and would notice that the work items related to that task are no more appearing.
    To notice the differences, try activating and deactivating the BADi implementation.

    Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
    Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
    Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
    And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
    However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
    I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
    No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
    And again your post was great.
    Good Luck

  • Need a good IDE

    can someone tell me a good IDE for developing servlets and Jsps,

    ObjectWeb Lomboz (Eclipse based) is imho the best freeware IDE out for developing JEE. You can easily integrate JOnAS appserver (Tomcat based) in the IDE.

  • Thinking of converting a secondary DC & replica DFS into a Hyper-V host - a good idea?

    Hello!
    I am trying to minimize the amount of server hardware regarding adding more servers to our domain (2008 R2).
    We have a quite new and strong (2x 6-core xeon with 24GB RAM) secondary DC server in our 2008 R2 domain. I am trying to come up with a better plan to utilize this machine's resources which was a bit of an overkill for just an AD, DNS and DFS services.
    Do you think it would be a good idea to demote that server, erase it, install 2008 R2 in Hyper-V mode and then add the AD service with DNS and DFS in Virtual mode and more (separate) virtual servers for other various purposes - thinking of Remote Desktop
    Services specifically for now, it can't run on same physical server as AD which is a slight problem as we are not planning on getting any hardware anytime soon.
    Can MS Exchange also run on Hyper-V? That would be a plus as well if it could.
    Thanks for insights.
    I am new to Hyper-V, never tried it before. Also forgot to mention, we use 2008 R2 Standard licenses, not enterprise/datacenter whatever.

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3512
    is this the "regular free Hyper-V" you mentioned? is it a standalone OS that needs no key?
    anyways, the question stands, I am not sure I can use the physical and virtual keys (from 2 standard licenses) in VMs, i'd certainly like to... 4 VMs sound really good, much better than 2.
    that is the old one, there is a new 2012 R2 version for datacenters

    that's an evaluation software ... 180 days license or something? or worse, a beta version?
    I'm talking about production environment in live business ...
    reviewed the 2008 R2 licensing and it seems that no matter the approach, each of Standard licenses allows only for a single VM...
    EDIT:
    OK, that is a full feature version, free and supposedly an RTM, which is good. might consider it for future.
    either way, legally speaking, the licensing problem with 2008 R2 STD still exists, because officially you can use only 1 STD license per VM. As far as I understand from legal standpoint, one cannot use both physical + virtual keys (from a single 2008
    R2 license) for two separate VM guests, no matter how, it probably is not OK (even though it may work and activate properly).

  • USB Hotsync needs 32-bit hardware or software? or both?

    I made the mistake of buying a new computer without knowing I needed 32-bit to do a USB Hotsync.  My new computer is 64-bit hardware. However, I got a 3-year service package from HP and they've offered to send me a 32-bit Windows XP OS installation disk if I want it. They said it will work, you can install a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit computer.
    Their question is, and my question for you is, do I need a 32-bit HARDWARE to do the USB sync, or will the 32-bit OPERATING SYSTEM (software) on a 64-bit computer do the trick? Does anyone know? Palm wouldn't tell me ("unsupported device"), and I can't find it anywhere.
    I want to avoid doing the bluetooth thing if possible, since reading that people have problems syncing docs-to-go with bluetooth and I don't want to have to buy a bluetooth device and have to try to figure out which one will work with my particular set up. I'm pretty addicted to docs-to-go.
    BTW I have a Zire 72 that I can't live without (poor memory/organizational skills) and my new computer is an HP EliteBook 8440p currently running 64-bit Windows 7. 
    I'd rather avoid installing a new OS (and reinstalling everything else) if it's not going to help.
    Thanks to anyone who has an idea, suggestion, or experience to share.
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    You nailed it, thanks. It turns out that my son had been tinkering with the speech function...and the sound was turned down so I wasn't hearing anything when S was pressed. Thanks much.
