Have You Used Bing Map to Display Data

I am looking for anyone who has used the Bing Map API to display their BW reporting? Would you share your scenario and experience with the API? How was it received by your reporting developers? How was it received by your reporting consumers?
I am looking for any insights you may have.
Best Regards,
Scott Hutslar

Scott,
Bing Maps API or Google Map API the concerns are :
There are multiple ways to do it - these APIs are available as web services which you can call and you can realize them using :
1. Third party application using data from BW and BING together - this could be platforms like FLEX / any Java Application that you can build including Web Dynpro etc.
You can also use BSP Pages to develop the same.
Constraints :
the BING APi requires connection to the internet and usually the sandbox / dev systems are not exposed to the internet which leads to the usual option of doing it in a third party application like FLEX etc.
Data from BW can be enabled using web services - typically using the Query_view_data web service or the restful web service available for queries ( search for RESTFul Query in the WIKI and you should get the wiki by Durairaj Athavan raja )
Now when you use a third party tool - then rollout becomes an issue especially with FLEX and the crossdomain issues you will face. Using TOmcat and a custom Java application / AJAX etc would mean that you will have to look at how these applications get consumed.
The experience is very good in terms of flexibility afforded to UI design but this would ofcourse depend on the interface or method you would use.

I have a program that uses Bing Maps, but the map only loads after the second search.

On my website, I have an Agency Locator that uses Bing Maps to locate and display agencies near a zip code. In Chrome and IE, the map loads fine. If I clear the cache in FireFox, the map doesn't show up on the first search. The second search displays fine. I am not quite sure if there is something wrong with my code or if it is a bug with FireFox, Bing Maps, or the two of them together. I am using FireFox V27.0 on a Windows 7 pc.

As an aside, I think attachEvent is a proprietary method of Internet Explorer. The script's method of browser detection might need to be updated.

What are field symbols and field groups.? Have you used "component idx of s

What are field symbols and field groups.? Have you used "component idx of structure"

Field Symbols and field groups

Field Symbols
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/fc/eb387a358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Field symbols: are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field Groups:
A field group is a user-defined grouping of characteristics and basic key figures from the EC-EIS or EC-BP field catalog.
Use
The field catalog contains the fields that are used in the aspects. As the number of fields grows, the field catalog becomes very large and unclear. To simplify maintenance of the aspects, you can group fields in a field group. You can group the fields as you wish, for example, by subject area or responsibility area. A field may be included in several field groups.
When maintaining the data structure of an aspect, you can select the field group that contains the relevant characteristics and basic key figures. This way you limit the number of fields offered.
A field group combines several existing fields together under one name
like
FIELD-GROUPS: fg.
then you can use one insert statement to insert values in fields of field-group.
INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.
Field symbols
If u have experience with 'C', then understand this to be similar to a pointer.
It is used to reference another variable dynamically. So this field symbol will simply point to some other variable. and this pointer can be changed at runtime.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS>.
DATA FIELD VALUE 'X'.
ASSIGN FIELD TO <FS>.
WRITE <FS>.

Why sometimes we have to use two message( ) to display one message ?

Sometimes one message( ) function is not working properly ? We have to use two message( ) to display one message ? Why ?

And just to add a little on what dave said:
You can also detect which button the user has clicked and do some action accordingly.
DECLARE
al_id ALERT;
al_result NUMBER;
BEGIN
al_id := Find_Alert('MESSAGE');

i have been using an iPhone 4 till date and now migrated to a iPhone 4s.The contacts are not copied in total from the other phone what should i do

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

Have you used the new workflow features in CM 12?

In CM 12.0, users can optionally deploy the standard
approval processing or new flexible, workflow approval
processing based on the project and/or document. Have you
used the new workflow features? Do you think the new
workflows will allow your organization to better drive and
control internal and multiple party reviews?

I was one of those users who fight for this
functionality.
I find using it however very
unhandy.
Let me give you real
life examples:
1. Once you
create an order/contract and do not choose "New
Method" you cannot change approval method to new any
more. Imagine one of my users was creating an order
with 120 items (hell of typing!) then she spotted that
she cannot send it with new review process to several
reviewers in sequence. The need for retyping it makes
5 other ppl already against this software, even if
they did not used it at all.
2.
Document Owner has admin rights.
For some
reason user needs to be document owner in order to
setup review process. Imagine in our situation usual a
site assistant, or junior person in technical office
is responsible for creating and typing all the
orders/contracts. So this person needs to be Document
Owner in order start review.
Document owner
however can also approve/reject in name of other users
mentioned in review cycle. This I find strange and
make entire new review/approval cycle worthless, as
the situation is still that anyone can approve someone
on someone behalf with no control.
 3. Alerts missing. I couldn't find an alert that
would be generated if a document is held internal (by
user) for more then ... x days.
 4. I'm also missing a Project Setting for "all
documents must use new review process"; "defoult
reviewers is + 'All in sequence' + 'list of reviewers'
- for each kind of document. If
you want to force users to follow a strict
methodology, and your software gives them chance to
choose whomever they want, wherever they want, use any
approval method, approve on someone behalf ... you
will finally fail. I keep
hearing that Primavera sold thousand of licenses, and
they will develop this product, I just hope they will
hurry, before users switch to other software.

Have you used XML?

I am curious does anyone, that has actually used any XML technology, consider the following question meaningful?
Have you used XML?
And what about the following questions.....
If you are fluent in DOM do you consider youself fluent in XSLT and Web Services?
If you are working with Web Services do you consider yourself fluent in Ant build files?
If you hear that question do you just assume that it it is questioning the exact APIs that you are familar with or does it refer to all possible APIs?
Given a "normal" XML file and nothing else, is it going to provide substantial information about anything?
XML files themselves are so incredibilely hard to figure out that one must be an expert in the XML syntax itself to make any headway at all with the APIs that use them?

Yes, I have used XML. But that's a lot like saying I have used ASCII.
-- I don't do DOM. And I don't do schemas or DTDs.
-- I have done some XSLT; I have written a 600-line XSLT that transforms a certain XML format into an HTML representation of one of our invoices. (They are complicated beasts.)
-- I know nothing about Web services.
-- I have written some basic Ant build files but I am definitely not fluent in that format.
I learned pretty much everything I know about XML by lurking on the Mulberry XSLT mailing list for several months. And you'll notice there is a lot that I don't know about XML. But as your question implies, XML is not "a" technology. It's just a basis for a whole raft of technologies, many of which are over-architected monstrosities.

Have you used Macromedia Flex?

Have you used Macromedia Flex? What's your opinion of it? My manager is good at
latching onto the flavor-of-the-week, but things I've read about Flex makes it sound
pretty good. Does anyone have any war stories?
Thanks,
Laszlo

From what I understand, Flex can be compared, roughly to JSP:
JSP:mixes html markup (typically) and jsp tags with Java and JavaScript in a text file (*.jsp).
The jsp-engine compiles that and what's delivered to the client's browser is html+JavaScript.
Flex: mixes XML markup with STL-like tags and tags for controls (they claim dozens, including tree
and calendar controls, editable comboxes etc...) and tags for layout (think LayoutManagers).
The event handlers are written in ActionScript which is supposed to be very JavaScript-like (and
in one place I read it was statically typed, hurrah!). Again this goes in a text file (*.wxml).
The Flex engine compile *.wxml files into flash programs (*.swf) and delivers this to Flash running
on the client. Flash, not the browser, executes the dynamic content.
Here are some of my concerns and non-concerns:
The Ubiquity of Penetration (is that an episode of Oz or what?) Flash is on a lot of desktops, but
Macromedia plays Three Card Monty by not pointing out that Flex needs the latest version (7)
to run, and that version is not everywhere, yet. But as their surveys show, it may be everywhere within a year.
This is a non-concern for me. I write apps for gov't employees so I've got a different issue: many of them
work in the boonies where their LAN support is execrable. And on top of that, their desktops are so screwed
down, the only thing they can install are browser plug-ins. So Flash fits.
The cost. Flex retails for $12,000 USD. That's seems a lot to me for something that's just in
the presentation layer.
This is version 1.0. Flash may be stable but how buggy is Flex?
Where's the Java?. ActionScript is supposed to be Java-like, but what would be cool would being
able use a subset of Java and the API for the dynamic content. This could be compiled on the server-side
and something like byte code could be sent to Flash to execute.
How fast and responsive are the Flash programs?
How big are the Flash programs generated by Flex to download? And how good are browsers at
caching flash programs? Do they use the same mechanism as for caching images? I'd hate to
redownload a flash program over a dialup line when bouncing between screens.
How good are the controls that Flex delivers? How does it compare to Swing, say. How comprehensive
Is their set of events?
What do you need on the server-side? Flex communicates to sever apps via (1) Web Services
(2) remote objects or (3) http calls, among other things. The Flex engine itself is a web-app, and
they list their system requirements as WebSphere 5+ (although it runs in Tomcat 5.0). Unfortunately,
our production admins only support WebSphere 4 Server.
Aside: I went to a product demo on Monday, and I have to say salesmanship in software products
creeps me out. Maybe because I came into programming through the back door, from math and logic,
but at demos I feel like I'm being sold a used car. The presenters kept referring to ROI. What do I know
about ROI? I thought they were talking about Le fils do roi...

Have you used SAP supplied programs to load master data?

HI,
SEND ME REPLAY.

Hi
We use LSMW tool which is provided by SAP to upload the Data into SAP from legacy data
There are various other methods for Upload,
But Direct Input method is the one which SAP provided directly to upload the data
there are some predefined programs and structures, that should be mapped and the data transfer takes automatically.

Is it actually ok to use bing maps to project onto webgl 3d models?

See: http://potree.org/demo/experimental/potree_map_projections/examples/viewer_proj.html
This is just experimental but I'd love to support Bing in the next stable release.
The project is a webgl point cloud viewer. Open Source and free to use.

The Bing Maps tile can be used in custom map controls, however the tiles need to be accessed using a specific method. The URL t the map tiles changes from time to time. This can cause your application to break. To prevent this your application should call
the Bing Maps Imagery Metadata service when it loads to get the current map tile URL. This also serves as a way to authenticate the usage of the Bing Maps data in your application.
Documentation
on this service can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701716.aspx
Making a request to the imagery service like this:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Imagery/Metadata/Road?output=json&include=ImageryProviders&key=BingMapsKey
This will return a response that contains an Image URL property. This URL will look something like this:
http://ecn.{subdomain}.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/r{quadkey}.jpeg?g=129&mkt={culture}&shading=hill&stl=H
You can then replace the different parts of the URL to create each tile. The subdomain can be a value of t0, t1, t2, t3. Using a different one for each tile request you can increase performance by get around browser URL request limits
i.e. many browsers allow up to 8 concurrent requests to the same domain. Using subdomains allows up to 8 requests per subdomain. The culture value can be any value that is documented under the imagery section here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx The quadkey value can be calculated based on the zoom level and the tile you wish to render. Information on the tile system along with
some useful code can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259689.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa940990.aspx
In addition to this, the query will also return information on the imagery providers and copyright information which should be displayed with the imagery.
Licensing queries can be sent here:

What anti-glare do you use on your LED Display?

My office just got me a 27" Cinema Display and it's awesome! Only problem is I have windows behind me from floor to ceiling. I see traffic buzzing behind me all day! I try to close the shades when it gets unbareable but for the most part it's really annoying to do my work without having to move my head around to get away from the glare on my screen. Have any of you used anti glare film? Can you recommend one you have used that will not mess too much with colors? I work in print and video so I need to get the colors right but I want the anti-glare film to interfere as little as possible.

well u can go right ahead and turn off that EAX in console, its in no way connected to the EAX in your games, as u said games produce sound through api's in their engines. better look at Alchemy for EAX support in games cuz thats where it is. and ye CMSS3D wont do anything for you since its designed to give additional functionality in surround not stereo systems. and for EQ i tell u to go right and experiment, there is no system that cant use a lil fine tuning to adjust it to your music style, room or just your hearing, we all hear lil diferent.
anyway for reference what "good" speakers are u using?
i got X-Fi Titanium PCI-e over DTS connect to Z-5500
EAX: off? CMSS3D: Stereo surround 50%? Crystalizer: rarely ~30%? SMV: off? EQ: attachment
tbh i assumed wrong, u really have no need for any of the X-Fi functions but if your speakers are at least decent i guarantee u can get more out of them with a proper EQ... and dont read guides how to set up something that is based on personal expirience, there is no "THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT", try and see what fits you.

Have you used an Iphone in Europe?

Am traveling to Europe in May. Want advice from others who have used an Iphone4 while traveling. Thanks.

Hello hellie68!
That's sounds like an awesome trip! gina7239 has some great ideas for your travel! You can turn off the cellular data, or you can put the phone in airplane mode. Settings>Airplane mode. WiFi is a great alternative while traveling internationally. I have also provided you a link with our global rates. You will need to make sure to call our global team before you leave to setup any international plans. Their number is 908-559-4899.

Have you used Captivate 4 with SAP?

I have tried using older versions of Captivate to create SAP demonstrations and simulations, and wasn't particularly pleased with the output. My employer is happy for me to upgrade to Captivate 4. Before I do, can anyone share their experience of using Captivate 4 with SAP?
Thanks, KristinaWasa

Hi there
I have no clue what SAP actually is. So I'm going to ask that you clarify your request a smidge.
I'm wondering if you are asking if Captivate coexists with SAP so you may record what goes on with SAP?
Or is SAP a delivery mechanism similar to or possibly even a Learning Management System (LMS) and you are asking if Captivate content is easily delivered by and communicates nicely with this system.
Cheers... Rick

Have you used Forte & DCE...

Hi
We're starting a large project in which DCE RPC's will be used as a
communication mechanism between a C++ app and our Forte service
objects. The platform is Windows NT; for various reasons we have
to use Microsoft's RPC on the C++ side. We have an evaluation copy of
the latest PC-DCE software (v2.0.2) from Gradient, which is supposed
to be compatible with Forte.
I'd appreciate it if you could contact me if you've successfully implemented
even a simple DCE-based app between Forte and C++ on NT (or between
Forte and Forte, for that matter). I mainly need some advice on how to
configure the PC-DCE software and implement even an extremely simple test
between Forte and something else (e.g. no security). I.e. what's the
minimum you need to do? We will build on from there.
(Any other advice also appreciated!)
