  • What is Concept in OTR texts and how does it work?

    Hi,
    Can someone explain me how does concepts in OTR texts work?
    I have a problem with one of BSP Applications where I'm using a OTR text. I think the problem is with this concept.
    Thanks,
    Chaith.

    hi chaitanya,
    By using  OTR texts, you have the advantage that your BSP application will be language-independent. All the texts defined in the OTR are displayed at runtime in the logon language. If the texts are not yet available in the logon language, they are displayed in the system language. The OTR texts that you create are automatically translated or are forwarded to the translation transaction (SE63) and are entered in the translator’s worklist
    To create an OTR long text from your BSP application, you do not have to go explicitly into the OTR. Proceed as follows:
    In the page editor select the texts relevant for translation, using the <OTR>... </OTR> tag.
    When you generate your BSP, all these text fragments are passed from the system to the OTR. The concept returned by the OTR is generated in the relevant place on your page and serves as the unique identifier for your text.
    Continue as normal creating your BSP application.
    U can go through following link u will get more idea on how to use OTR.

  • How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

  • Menu Object; MANUAL option. What is this, and how does it work?

    What is this... and, how does it work? Can't find documentation on this.

    My knee-jerk reaction is, "are f'n kidding me?"... but, of course, you're not.
    I must say, that is an incredibly useless option. How would that 'option" differ from simply making a text object (or text/rectangle/image combo or group) and creating a link?
    What got me looking at this option was the hope to find some way to insert a dynamic "field" that could be used on a master page to display the current page title (of a page based on that master). Something similar to Word (and other applications) that you can enter information into a document property and then insert that information anywhere within the document by using a field code for that info. I don't know if there is an HTML code that could be used to accomplish this, in this case. Something that would refer to the page title.
    Thanks for the info none-the-less.

  • What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

    What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

    I purchased the iPad mini Wi-Fi & Cell because it has GPS. OK, it is assisted GPS but the GPS works very well as stand alone. I got the iPad mini for use in flight, so I dont even have a sim card in it. The GPS works perfectly in flight under all conditions. I have cross checked it against typical approved aircraft installations and it is very accurate at all times. I use it in Wi-Fi mode on the ground when updating my aviation database, when planning a flight, or similar circumstances. The primary advantage of A-GPS is quick location reading when first turned on, when on the ground where the GPS satellites signal may be of reduced quality. At 10,000 feet plus, it is a stand alone GPS. I have frequently turned the iPad off in flight for periods of time and when powering up, it gave me accurate positioning in a few seconds, never exceeded 10 seconds. I have also tested my iPad on the ground, using the aviation maps, and the GPS works perfectly also.
    It remains possible that there is some feature that enhances the GPS when on the ground, even if there is no sim card in the iPad. But I doubt that any of these would work in an aircraft at high altutide. Nonetheless, I would appreciate knowing more about this.

  • What is iTunes Match and how does it work?

    What is iTunes Match and how does it work? I have several tunes on my computer that do not show complete. The source of these tunes are from my own CDs.

    iTunes match - http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ - see FAQ at end too
    Basically it looks at the music you have in iTunes.  If it sees the equivalent on the iTunes Store site it does nothing, but it makes that copy accessible to you to download.  If you have music  it doesn't it will upload a version from your computer to the site that only you can access from anywhere online.
    In your case if you have incomplete tracks it will not fix them.  It does some kind of audio fingerprinting to make sure you aren't just feeding it a bunch of 60s demonstration cuts and trying to get whole tracks back.

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

  • I used Airport Base station and I was able to extend my network using airport express and connect my printers.  Now I am using Extreme and I can't extend the network (Express) or the printers nothing shows up.  I am using utility 6.3 and Mt Lion  What is

    I had an Aiport Base Station and extended using Airport Express, where I also connected my printers (network). Now using Airport Extreme off Mt Lion 10.8.4 and Utility 6.3.
    I can't extend the network (express) or connect my printers (USB) nor will it find my one wifi printer.
    What's up?

    For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
    Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
    Wait a few minutes
    Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
    Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
    Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
    If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
    Post back on your progress.

  • Airport base station and U Verse

    Does anyone know how to get an Airport Base Station to connect wirelessly to an ATT U VERSE 2 WIRE modem?
    I've used Airport Utility to get the Base Station to join my network but it never finds the ATT network.
    Thank you,
    Charlie

    If your question is about configuring the AirPort Extreme to "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from the Uverse wireless router, this is not possible unless the AirPort Extreme is connected directly to the Uverse router using an Ethernet cable.
    The AirPort Base Stations can only "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when there is also another Apple router providing the signal to be "extended".
    Can you clarify how you are trying to configure the AirPort Extreme and what purpose it would provide on your network?

  • How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

    I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

  • Airport base station and connectivity problems

    Hi all,
    Heres what I know about my internet connectivity issues. I have a cable broadband (Motorola Surfboard) modem and I'm fine getting a connection when I am hooked directly from the modem into the back of my G4.
    The wierd thing is that when I have my Airport (old school flying saucer shaped one) hooked up between my G4 and the modem I don't even get a signal on my tower any longer let alone my laptop. I have an ethernet cable running from the port on the base station with the circle of dots to my modem. I have a ethernet cable running from the ethernet looking port (arrows and dots) on the base station to the G4 tower.
    What I don't get is why I wouldn't at least be still getting a signal to my tower? All of the appropriate lights on my modem are still lit up. I took it in a few days ago to an Apple store and the guy at the Genius Bar confirmed the Base Station is working fine. Why does my computer now not like being hooked up thru my base station? I've checked all of the network settings and all seems to be fine.
    Any help or ideas will be appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
    Thanks,
    Vance

    I may have misunderstood your original question. If you want to use both your older Airport as well as the newer dual band one, you certainly can, but first describe which model your older Airport is and what specifically you wish to accomplish by using both.
    There's no advantage of keeping the older one in service unless one Airport base station is unable to create a wireless network with sufficient range for your needs. There are as many as three different ways of doing that depending on which older one you have: a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) which can only use 802.11b/g, an "extended" network, which can only be accomplished with an 802.11n network, or a "roaming" network in which the Airports are connected to each other using their Ethernet LAN ports. This last method is the most preferable, but obviously requires that you run a cable between them.
    Use Airport Utility to configure the Extreme. Read about designing networks in the Apple AirPort Networks manual.
    In any event you don't need to use both Airport base stations if all you want to do is have a wireless network that can serve both your iMac and your Powerbook. Any Airport base station Apple ever built can serve both. The newest Extreme just adds more features.

  • Airport Base Station and Toshiba Notebook

    I've got a Powerbook G4 and an HP Pavillion which both work just fine with the base station. However, we acquired a Toshiba Notebook and cannot connect to the internet. Signal Strength is excellent, internet connection is nonexistent. I'm wondering if there is an update that's designed to fix a compatability problem....?
    I've had two extensive phone calls with Toshiba's tech support already...and they both thought that the problem was with the ip address (assigned by Apple). They suggested also, trying to find a wi-fi hot spot to see if we can connect. The problem is stated below:
    - Caller advised that she cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.
    - Asked the caller to turn ON wireless switch : its already turned ON
    - Asked the caller to access wireless zero configuration : it is already started
    - Asked the caller to look at available wireless networks
    - Computer is connected but it does not have a valid ipaddress and default gateway.
    - Asked the caller to do a power reset on the computer, router and dsl modem.
    - Asked the caller to key in the network key to the network.
    - Configured a static ipaddress : nogo
    - Asked the caller to do an ipconfig : nogo
    - Customer does not have another access point.
    - Advised the customer to try to access a hot spot.
    - Gave SR Number
    Having the same problem with her Toshiba notebook that is dedicated to a wireless airport.
    Verified call log history.
    Do the diagnosis by checking the wireless network setup; signal is good;
    Verified the ip, set to static; redo dynamic mode then repaired. But still unable to pull up a valid ip address even the signal is good.
    Tried settin up a static ip came from the host but still no reply. Decided to redo the configuration including the ping test but still no reply.
    Verified the firewall configurations, still off.
    We are suspecting that the problem is concerning upon mac address registration for this notebook to your gateway.

    I am using WEP (haven't a clue what that means).
    It means that you are using a password to secure your wireless network from unauthorised use.
    I
    found that info under my Wireless Security: 128 bit
    WEP, My choices to Change Wireless Security do not
    include something called HEX.
    If you read the guides it will tell you how to find the HEx key for your 128bit WEP encryption.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.
    I have 3 choices:
    Not Enabled
    WPA Personal
    WPA Enterprise
    If your Toshiba supports WPA then I would recommend using WPA Personal in order to avoid the problems with the WEP HEX key. However your Macs must be running 10.3 or later to use WPA.
    The Toshiba still won't recognize the
    internet....but shows "excellent signal strength"
    with my network.
    Generally what this means that your Toshiab can see the wireless network, but is not connected to it.
    At this point, I'm a little gun shy to try a change
    to WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise....what is a HEX
    Key, anyway?
    The HEX key is the hexadecimal password of the plain text password you created for the Airport network.

  • What is the AirPort Base Station Agent?

    I just noticed in my Login Items on one of two computers (MacPro, no Airport card) there is an Application called AirPort Base Station Agent. It is checked to be invisible on opening. On my laptop (with Airport) that Application is not listed in Login Items. I never put it there myself as I don't know what it's for. It is located in System Folder/Core Services of both computers but only listed as a startup item in one of them.
    Can anyone explain? Should it be added to the laptop login?
