Hello,
There are many posts on this site concerning issues such as this from your region. Many who have posted have reported that, when they escalated through their proper support channels, they have been told that the problem is network congestion. But, "blame" shifts back and forth between RIM and the local mobile service providers. Consequently, I recommend that all who are experiencing this problem contact their mobile service providers and open a formal support ticket on this issue. The more of those that get placed, the more likely they will actually do something about it.
Good luck!

Whats the max range in real life

My question, what's the max range of an AirPort Extreme REALLY - I don't mean in a lab or on paper. But in real life w/ walls and such... Would like to know for G/N networks. I'm just looking at buying 2 Airport Extremes and having one "extend" the connection the network, so I'd like to know how far could I place the two apart while maintaining a reasonable speed.
Also, how much would the connection be effected by metal walls (ie commercial walk-in refrigerators)

LaFramboise:
I've spent some weeks trying to figure out your question for a real-life answer. It just not helps to now that in "LAB" conditions you´ll get a 100-mile range when you discover that in "real life" a simple tree + a wall will kill it.
I just moved to a new apartment 2 blocks from my office and I happen to have line of sight to my office window from my apartment, except for a robust tree that initially played some weird jokes on my reception.
Using 2 Airpor Xtreme stations, I managed to establish a very decent wireless network, allowing my house to use my office internet access (which I also pay, son why pay double ISP).
The distance between these two Xtremes is AT LEAST 328 feet (100 meters) and no more that 492 feet (150 meters). It's a 2 block distance. I pass a tree almost right in front of my apartment window, so I really dont have a cristal clear view on both airports. This sounds really great...
INSIDE my apartment, distribution of space is kinda weird: a shoe-box apartment with a center corridor all along the house. Thing is that funny, I have One Aiport Xtreme (as main receiver for the internet access) and I have 1 Aiport express in the same room of the Xtreme for music sharing, another Airport in the room next door (studio) also for music sharing. Problem is that due to my apartmen config I can't get a third airport express to connect from the living room which is in the other side of the apartment. I tell you my sad story because it is extremely hard to determine range. I have a two block connection on one side, and because of walls, etc, I cant hook to the other end of my apartment wirelessly. I already started to consider a ethernet cable to connect them. Can you imagine the CAT5 running all across my apartment?.

Are you obsessed with video? If so, I want to hear your story.

As a storyteller, I'm always on the hunt for people who have a compelling story to tell. During the course of the year, I talk to hundreds of reporters and bloggers who are looking for folks who are passionate about technology. In this case, the technology is video.
Do you put your DVR to the test by recording so many programs and events that your DRV is bursting at the seams?
Do you push off projects at home, or other things, just so you can watch certain types of programs lives?
If you're dating or married, do some of your "date nights" revolve around watching TV?
Do you find yourself on the front line of early adopters and enjoy watching video content on one of various digital, mobile devices you've acquired be it a table, smartphone, laptop, computer or gaming console?
If you could watch TV using a new-fangled device that would allow you to project a clear image onto any surface anywhere you were located, would you?
Have you found people in your life consider their mobile digital device "THEIR TV" and no one else in the room can watch video from that device, in contrast to the shared aspect of today's traditional TV sets?
If you just dig watching video and enjoy chatting about all the various aspects of video, I'd love to hear your story. For all I know you're just the person a reporter or blogger is looking to profile as part of a story about how technology influences people across all life stages.

Hi Justin,
Yes I already have a vi that controls the stage.
So the camera is stationary above the stage. Now what I want to do is get the camera to take the pictures of the detector by moving the stage frame by frame for example starting from the top right corner of the detector (by taking an image) then ending on the top left corner of the detector (by taking an image) then having the stage move down a row and starting the process over again until each frame (or piece) has been imaged.
My goal is while the stage is moving to every little frame of the detector I would like for it to autofocus if necessary, and take a image to be for each frame of the detector.
Using the auto focus requires the moving of the stage up and down.

Can you give some real-life use of tables in BW?

Hi,
In reading links and notes from here, I took a leap to try and understand how tables are used in the BW environment, by following:
se16
RSZ* then F4
then I Double click on:
i.
RSZRANGE        Selection specification for an element
If execute, I get a table with a several fields with values.
What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
ii.
RSZOPRATOR       Formula Operators
similarly, here I found fields with operators and mostly numbers.
What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
iii. Later I tried RSU* then
RSUPDDAT        Update rules key figures
Nothing recognizable here about the update rules.
What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
iv.
Also, sometimes here conversations like, research on which tables have the fields you need and lets generate reports against them. I though tin BW, reports are always generated against data targets (ODS, Cubes, etc). I didnt know of tables.
Can you give a real-life scenario where you had to combine fields in 2 or 3 tables and use them in project?
Thanks

Amanda,
There are many scenarios where you can use the tables behind the screen. But most of the times the scenarios are sophisticated requirement. Suppose your installation has many data targets and all are getting loaded nightly, weekly or even monthly intervals. Usually in most places the person on call will go and look at all the targets in the morning whether all the loads are successful (they would have beeped if something faild during loading at nights). Instead of going thru this manual process you can write an ABAP program which will look at the infocubes and ODS and see how many records were added, transferred, updated success or failure all kinds of information.
RSA1 is just a front end and all the information you see are all coming from tables which are stored here. go to SE80 or SE11 and search for the tables behind the screens. Every bit of detail that you see is coming from tables or available in tables. There are many tables and they are all relational. So you can pretty much do anything you like in accessing them. Please just read (SELECT) from them. Don't try to delete, insert anything unless you know what you are doing absolutely.
Hope this helps.
Good luck with your learning.
Alex.

Any real-life experience using SSD yet?

In my mind playing around with a demo unit in an Apple store isn't all that useful, and the benchmarks don't provide a real-life story. Anyone have an SSD they've used - at home, or office, in a real-life situation - yet?
What're your impressions re: speed? Is there a noticeable boost over the standard HD unit? Does it seem MacBook zippy?
Any feedback - good or bad - would really help!

Think of SSD as a grown-up version of those flash memory sticks you slip into your Mac’s USB ports. Instead of storing data on spinning platters, as a standard hard drive does, SSDs store data in solid-state memory—either NAND flash memory or SDRAM. Increase that USB stick’s capacity and add an ATA or SATA interface, and you’ve got an SSD. SSDs seem like the perfect mass storage devices for a notebook. They have no moving parts, so they’re less susceptible to damage from the shocks and jolts of travel. SSDs can withstand 10 times as much impact as a standard hard drive. They also deal well with vibration. Then there’s an SSD’s parsimonious power consumption. Powered down, SSDs consume virtually no juice—somewhere around 0.05 watts. Even when operational, an SSD draws only 1w or so—about a third the consumption of a comparable hard drive. In terms of seek times and throughput, SSD performance is about equal to that of a standard hard drive. But SSDs turn on instantly: They don’t have to spin up platters as hard drives do, so they reduce computer boot, restart, and wake-up times substantially. In addition to being sturdier, more power efficient, and faster than standard hard drives, SSDs are also slightly lighter and can, if necessary, be molded into different form factors to fit tight spaces. The circular platters of a hard drive don’t allow for that kind of design flexibility.

How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
(Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

How to view actual size as in real life at 100%?

I am designing the user interface for an iPhone app using Adobe Illustrator CS4. The screen size of the iPhone 4 is 640x960px, which I have entered as the artboard size. The problem here is that at 100% zoom in Illustrator, I do not see the actual iPhone screen size as how it would look like in real life, rather I see it much larger (around x3 if not more). The resolution of the monitor I am working on is 1680x1050. Does this issue of getting the actual size of 640x960px have anything to do with my monitor resolution/size? How can I see the actual size of 640x960 on my monitor at 100% without resorting to manual methods such as placing a ruler on the monitor, etc.
Please advise, I would greatly appreciate your help.

I believe it actually calculates your screen resolution and then displays the the illustrated profile as actual size.

Real life SD Project - Gurus requested to give brief feedback

Hi,
Please read the real life SD - FICO scenario given below and if you think you have the solution, kindly state your suggestion. Would be much appreciated.
===================================================
Engineering Services Orders (Inter-company)
Process Steps (As-is)
1.Purchase Order is received in Co. A via EDI, from Co. B
2.Sales Order (services) is automatically generated in Co. A. It has item 10 as hours and item 20 as travel expenses in $ amount
Sales accounting creates settlement rule and internal order number and advises the engineers who will provide the services
3.Later on, engineers report actual hours for services rendered, by using CATS system This merely reports data in SAP system but does not make an FI posting
They use the order number advised to them in step 2 to create an internal order
4 Actual travel expenses are added by Payroll - as a direct posting to FI
5. Periodic CATS batch job is carried out by relevant IT person, to settle costs to an internal order (not to sales order). These costs are labor hours and travel expenses
6. FICO personnel then do transaction K08G to settle internal order --> sales order
7. (Manual Step) Sales Accounting then runs report KVBI to view and select data related to service orders The data is downloaded to an Excel worksheet and handed over to SD-Billing.
8. (Manual step) The cost data in dollar figures is converted to hours by SD-Billing, dividing cost data with rate / hour given in the sales order condition record
9. SD-Billing creates invoice. Since it is order-related invoice, it has open quantities coming in from the order. These are now manually over-written / replaced with the actual data from step 7 & 8. An invoice is thus, generated for each order individually.
Process (To-be)
To create an interim document (billing request?) to replace manual steps 7 and 8. This interim document needs to capture actual cost data form the system and also show the remaining / open quantities from the sales order
QUESTION: what is the best route to go?
Configure a Billing Request document (by modifying a standard Credit Memo Request / Debit Memo Request) or
Going via the route of resource-related billing?

Refer to the document: J48 - Project with Intercompany Billing
Link: http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_India/index.htm
This is a very good document for guidance.

Digital signatures in real life

Hi,
I've been trying to grok the concept for a while, not without a modicum of success. Yet the big picture escapes me. I'm interested primarily in electronic document workflow as a substitute for classic paper document workflow. There must be software frameworks serving the concept, protocols of higher level than gpg, industry standards - something like that. Links and keywords are extremely welcome. It's hard to start googling effectively without a keyword or two.

Maybe how citizenship smartcards work and are used in real life is of interest? Belgium eletronic identity cards and Portuguese citizenship cards support that.
The involved standarts are something like pkcs11, pkcs10, etc. If you understand the way private and public assimetric keys work you will understand the process at high level. From there it's all details on how to actually sign something how to and where get and store the keys, etc.
For example, the portuguese card has 2 pairs of private / public keys. One of them for authenticity purposes and the other pair for signing. It also contains the certificates that form the chain of trust and allow to verify the keys are still valid.
Having a smartcard reader and obviously one of those cards you can just plug it in the laptop, create a document, like a pdf file or even a word file in the office and choose to sign it. Now for example if you sign a pdf file, the person that receives it can just open and it magically says if the signature is valid or not. It does this by magic also .
Ok, not everything is magic. When you sign the document in the process yoru certificate file that contains your public key is attached to it, then when the document is opened it will check the cryptographic signature of the file. Aditional verifications will be done for example in adobe reader, like checking the signature timestamp with an online service and also checking the certificates chain of trust.
But i'm kind sleppy and may be saying something stupid. Someone else can correct me and add more information

Microsoft Course VS Exam VS Real life = Not even close relevant!

Howdy folks,
I'm writing this just after taking my exam, 70-410. (644, so fail)
Seeing it is a fail and i'm not really new to the microsoft scene, i do company migrations etc and been doing it for years.
For the exam, i've done the most things anyone would do:
- Get the Microsoft book for the Exam and go thru it.
- See what you are not so good at and repeat it and test it in labs.
- Brush up on Powershell, did the virtual acadamy for the basics, jumpstart series.
After my exam, fail.. what i noticed during the exam and annoys me to death:
- Subnetting, hellow microsoft, if i want to be a great subnetter en supernetter i will take the CCNA of Cisco. In real life we get those info's from the network guys. If not google, subnetting tools etc, you'll find it, stop re-inventing the wheel..
- What powershell Cmdlet would you use to do this.... the creator of powershell says: "Remember NOTHING we spend ages optimizing the Get-Help or Get-Command functions and building a whole friggn' ISE, because powershell is to big to memorize." i can't
stress this enough, STOP this, give an ISE and let your students MAKE the Cmdlet.
- Calculator in the exam, c'mon, not even an advanced calculator for subnetting.....???
So Microsoft, i hope you will do something about this crap because, c'mon your books are basic, use trainsignal, pluralsight or cbtnuggets, virtual labs and in the end you hang the result of an exam on what powershell Cmdlet you would use???
Kind regards,
Someone who will think 3 times of the value of your certifications.

It's a common complaint that the exams contain questions that are not "real life" or they are unfair, such as memorizing a PS cmdlet for doing a certain task when you'd normally just look it up or make your own.
Agreed! However, you still need to pass this exam.
Write down everything you can remember in the exam that gave you problems. Spend at least an hour doing this. Then study up and write notes on all those topics, then take it again within a couple weeks.
It's a "brute force" method but it will help you answer those difficult (unfair?) questions and help you put this exam behind you.
Microsoft knows their exams are hard and expects you to retake them when you fail. Even Microsoft employees fail exams and retake them. I've failed my share but thankfully there is no record of my failed exams available anywhere - just the exams I have passed.
It bites, I know.
Good luck.
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

Real life technical and business issues--FICO--implementation

Hello,
Can someone please give some real-life Technical and Business issues and problems faced by FICO consultant in different-different phases of implementation (asap)? please provide from basic to critical examples?
Thanks,
Amit
Moderator: Please, respect the rules of the forum

What you are asking is very project specific.
Try to do the following:
1. Ask for the detailed business requirements
2. Ask for the design documents. Usually, there will be bunch of documents that got documented when the project team made the design. There must be documents like conceptual / high level design, detailed / low level design, ABAP specifications, report specifications, etc.
3. The design documents will contian other things, DATA FLOW DIAGRAM. Here in this diagram, you will see where the data comes and how it gets processed and transformed when the data reaches BW.
4. Ask for your access to the develoment system or the sandbox ( where you can play around without affecting anybody's work).
5. With the data fliow, you keep reviewing the objects in BW and also in the source system.
6. Even if you dont get access to dev or sandbox, you cans till view the objects in display mode.
