How to manage PC warranty/maintenance?

A customer is looking for a way to manage the warranty and maintenance of their PC's
e.g. most covered by 3 yr warranty, after this need adding to maintenance contract.
It doesn't look like this is something provided as standard in ZCM AM? (Please correct me if wrong)
If not, how are people doing this? I would think an 'Administrator Defined Field' with either purchase or warranty expire date (or both, one default populated by other, but editable?!?) might be the way to go?
I guess we'd then need custom reports looking at these fields?
Anyone got any working methodologies or suggestions?
Thanks
David

I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case) then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc. It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
good luck

Fund management in plant maintenance module

Hi.
can anyone explain how fund management works in plant maintenance module. Actually to say we have implemented FM. We make FM entries in orders in GOTO -> assignment -> Fund Management.
The question is, when we make entries in PM orders, it creates auto reservation No. for the materials (components) which are added in component tab of order. though in PM order we have made FM entries it is not carried by the system in auto generated reservation no. Plz advice.

How to manage Struts web application unavailbility ?

Hello !
I have a web application (portal) based on Struts framework. And I am wondering how is the best way to manage the portal unavailbility (for maintenance reasons for example) ?
We can deploy a new web application/page saying that "the portal is unavailable for the moment" but it is a heavy solution and not proper for people that are currently using the portal. So not good.
Maybe I should check in the init Action of the portal in a database if the portal is available or not... but how to manage people who are currently logged in ? should I check this state in each action of the portal ? it is quite repetitive...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for advice.

The simplest, lowest impact, lowest risk solution would be to use a filter:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class AvailabilityFilter
implements Filter
   // private member variables for connection url/user/pass or JNDI
   // resource name
   // private getters and setters
   public void init( FilterConfig config )
      // Read necessary filter init-params here, like connection parameters
      // or the JNDI resource name of a connection pool used to determine
      // availability.
   public void destroy( )
   public void doFilter( ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain )
      if( this.isAvailable( ) )
         filterChain.doFilter( request, response );
      else if( response instanceof HttpServletResponse )
         HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse)response;
         response.sendError( 503, "Application temporarily unavailable" );
      else
         response.getWriter( ).println( "Application temporarily unavailable" );
         response.getWriter( ).close( );
   private boolean isAvailable( )
      // Attempt to connection to the database and/or check availability status
      // Return true if available, false otherwise
}Now, as far as managing existing user sessions goes, you can also implement an HttpSessionListener to track sessions:
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SessionTracker
implements HttpSessionListener
    private static Map activeSessions = new HashMap( );
    public void sessionCreated( HttpSessionEvent event )
        HttpSession session = event.getSession( );
        synchronized( activeSessions )
           activeSessions.put( session.getId( ), session );
    public void sessionDestroyed( HttpSessionEvent event )
        HttpSession session = event.getSession( );
        synchronized( activeSessions )
           activeSessions.remove( session.getId( ) );
    public static void closeAllSessions( )
        synchronized( activeSessions )
            for( Iterator i = activeSessions.entrySet( ).iterator( ); i.hasNext( ); )
                Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)i.next( );
                String sessionId = (String)entry.getKey( );
                HttpSession session = (HttpSession)entry.getValue( );
                session.invalidate( );
                i.remove( );
}Some user event could call a servlet which would set a flag in the DB marking it as down for maintenance and then call the static method SessionTracker.closeAllSessions( ), which effectively logs everyone out. Any attempts to access the app after that period would fail; the filter would try to connect and/or check the flag in the DB and would throw an HTTP 503 instead of executing the rest of the filter chain. No reconfiguration would ever be necessary, and you wouldn't be changing code, just adding these two new classes and a couple of entries in web.xml.
Hope that helps,

How to Manage the Resource Master in Primavera Enterprise Version

We are using P6 enterprise version in our company having a central database. We had created our own unique resources and standardised across the enterprise and is Admin protected. However we often have to import some schedules sent by our consultant/client. In those schedules they have their own resources.
So when we import these schedules, it also imports the resources along with it and pollutes our resource master.
Can anyone let me know, how to manage such a situation.
Regards

We have met this issue. You have few ways to deal with it, but each has its own +ve and -ve.
1- You may create a separate "Working" db into which you can import those files and keep them there only. Your master db shall be used for maters and your own program only.
2- You may do the same for checking the resourses, vet them before importing into the final db
3- P3 and MSP importation allows you to select the node to which the resources will be located. We have created a resource node called "Imported Resources" and dumped all those resources into it. Our users don't have access to that node so those resources can only be used on the imported program and can't be assigned to any other program / activity
4- Enforce your supply chain to use the same resource list. We managed to do that for our main and subcontractors. That formed part of their contracts.

How I Managed to Install Windows 8.1 Pro on an iMac 27-inch, Late 2013

As is typical with many of my Boot Camp installs, this one did *not* goes as smoothly as planned. This installation was particularly troublesome, so I thought I would share how I managed to set up Boot Camp on a brand new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) using a Windows 8.1 Pro DVD and an external Apple SuperDrive. These are the steps I took:
Download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1721)
Copy Boot Camp Support Software to empty MS-DOS (FAT)-formatted USB key
Run Boot Camp Assistant and select third option only (Install Windows 7 or later version)
Computer would reboot after Boot Camp Assistant finished but would boot back into Mac environment and not continue Windows installation
Boot computer holding down option key and select Windows (with DVD icon) and go through initial setup process (could go as far as trying to format Boot Camp partition as NTFS and then got stuck)
Quit Windows installer and reboot computer holding down option key and select EFI Boot
Run Windows installer
These same steps worked for another iMac (same model) that I set up later the same day.

Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
DVD movies.
Audio CDs.
Copy protected discs such as game discs.
Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
Burn a CD or DVD

How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

Hi,
I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
paddu.

In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
Use
This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
hidden entry processing
fill hidden fields
flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
Realization
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
internal table TOTAL
field symbols
field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

How to manage one wsp and dll for multiple clients in farm environment

1. There is a product which is developed using C sharp , jquery,CSS and sharepoint object models which have been packaged into .wsp file. Whenever we introduce new functionality to the product we used to branch the
previous code as a version , say Version 1.0 and new functionality of the product will in another solution. This is how we are managing the code in TFS as versions. Each newer version will have new functionalities. We do not give latest functionality for all
the clients. Each client is having its own version of functionality. Technically in order to access the functionality, the wsp solution should be present in the solution repository which is available in SharePoint central administrator site. This solution
will be deployed on the client’s site. We are following the above process in SharePoint standalone installation where we used to purchase dedicated server per client and installed sql, SharePoint foundation 2010 as standalone installation and adding the client
related version of the code to the solution repository. Later host on the site which is created for that client purpose. This process is same for all the clients where we purchase individual server for each client .
Now we want to host our product in farm environment of sharepoint foundation 2010 where we are going to try 3 level architecture.
• SQL Server-In this sever we are going to install sql server 2008R2 standard edition. Which should serve the database service for all the web applications/sitecollections which we are going to create in Web front end server.
• Application server- In this server we are going to install the sharepoint as farm and will install search server express for serving search functionality for our product
• Web front end server- In this server we are going to add this server to Sharepoint farm which we have created in application server. Here we are going to create web applications and site collections for all the clients.
In this scenario how to manage multiple versions of same wsp solution?
Another major issue w.r.t the architecture of the product and new approach for client deployment as follow.We have CSS, jquery files for serving the functionality.These files have been mapped to 14 hive folder.If any changes we do one of the jquery file or
css file which is meant for latest version and not for old version, then how to manage this new functionality for that particular css or jquery file in 14 hive folder, since there is only one 14 hive folder. What is the best practice to make this happen? Another
thing is, how to manage dll files for individual client?

It sounds like you have a farm scoped solution at work. In that case you can only have a single instance of it per farm, you'd have to branch each version so they appear to be seperate solutions entirely (thus ruining your clients upgrade process).
Bluntly i don't think a single farm can manage all your user environments.

How to manage photos from multiple accounts

Hi,
i am trying to solve one problem. I have one iMAC where i have two user profiles connected to different AppleIDs. Next to it there are two iPhones and two iPads. I am trying to find out, how to manage photos from all these devices using one account on iMAC. Second question is if there is any finction in iPhoto that can publish images to NAS server? Second alternative for me is to byu iCloud drive space and use Family sharing for publishing photos. Bellow text schema is attached, it is only my idea and i dont know if this could work like this. Did anyone somehow solved this configuration? Thanks

I can see the screenshot if I double click on it. However, here is it again. Being Halloween maybe it'll show.

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

How to manage my daughter's new phone account

We just got my 11 year old daughter her first phone (a Samsung S3 Mini). The salesman told us we would be able to use the "Family Base" to control/ turn-on-off her phone, text, web access and email and we would have full control there. Our main goal (as we explained) was to let her have the phone, texting, and gmail, but to turn off her web access (unless she was being supervised - at home). He told us we would definitely be able to keep GMail on, and separately control her web access. Now that I am looking through the Family Base control center, I'm not really seeing all that. I see you can manage phone and texting (which we've decided to let her have on), but I don't see management of web access, and I don't see exactly how to manage that separately from her ability to email.
My second issue is... I would like to activate a "Find my Mobile" or "Find My Phone" type service (because I'm worried about her leaving her phone somewhere) but I'm wondering if this service requires that her phone have web access (and maybe location services on?) so that it can function.
Surely there are other adults out there trying to manage their kids the same way I am. Can someone please give me some tips/ best practices or suggestions on how to manage all this?
In addition to my concerns about managing her web usage (while maintaining email), what's the best "find my phone" that I should implement?
Thank you in advance.

A few things you can do here.
1) The Verizon Rep Lied to you
2) You can download Parental Control Apps from the Play Store that are password protected and work much better then Family Base. Look at those and dump Family Base
3) Download Where's my Droid. It will do all of the find my phone options and much more. check it out
4) You might also want to download something like Phone Tracker which will allow you to track the phone and its whereabouts near real-time so you can see where she is at all times. (Check local laws in your area first though to make sure you are legal doing this)

How to Manage Creative Cloud for Teams | Learn Creative Cloud | Adobe TV

This is a short video about how to manage and administer Creative Cloud for teams using a new, intuitive web-based tool called the VIP Admin Console. The Admin Console allows IT administrators to add Creative Cloud seats, assign or re-assign these seats to team members, monitor storage allocation and more. This short video shows you how this is done.
http://adobe.ly/ZDWoCl

Can I assign more than one seat to a user?
In our studio we have 7 workstations - so far we just had 7 CSs in Volume Licensing. We have licenses assigned to machines rather than people - any of the artists can sit on an available machine and just start working.
What is the equivalent for CC?
Do I create a single Adobe ID for our studio and assign 7 seats to this user and then use it on all machines for installations, or do I have to create 7 Adobe IDs (one per workstation) and assign a single seat to each of them?

HOW TO MANAGER APPROVE LEAVE REQUEST AT A TIME MORE THEN TWO

Hi Experts,
This is Kalyan.I am working on ess/mss . How to manager approve four work items at a time .
And how to add Custom Fields in UWL .Can u please help me.
Regards,
Kalyan

Hi Kalyan
Suppose if multiple persons raise workflows like Leave, Travel, Claims, Loan every workflow is different. You cannot have single workflow and single work item. The work item comes to UWL for the approver. In the UWL you can customize the screen put a radio button in the screen such that only approve and reject button. So every wprk item can be just selected with approve and reject radio button on the UWL itself. Finaly update button will update the entier page with the approvals. But this is very very very difficult.
Think logically Y the approver wants to do mass approval. Suppose the approver receives the leave work item without seeing the leave quota will he approve?. Similiarly for travel without seeing the expense amount will the approver approve the trip.
UWL is for all the module like Travel, Leave, Claims, Loan etc. Every module the approval screen itslef different. So mass approval is not possible.
If ESS is implemented only for Leave or Travel or Payroll then its possible. In that case customize the UWL with radio button and after mass approve or rejection finally need to update. But this is absolutly not advisable since every person the data are different. So mass approval is not advisable.
I think am logically correct?
