Ideas for storing a specific utilisation %

We currently use both infotype 0008 Basic Pay, 0007 Planned Working time, and 0315 timesheet defaults. So we can tell what % of time people should work each week/month. We would like to store an additional target, of say 80% of time being booked to a project, to use this in a report with CATS data to see if people are working more/less on fee earning work. Has anyone else store this type of data and which field have they used. It needs to be a separate field to any which would link to pay, and would be advised in advance annually. Maybe appraisal?
Any suggestion welcome.

Hi Wendy,
although I don't understand your question completely, I know IT0027 can be used to store a percentag for cost center, order and WBS - element.
Maybe it helps.....

Ideas for stored formulas

I am working on a custom report system for my company. The report contains data pulled from newspaper articals. I have several core values (size, date, page number, paper, etc.) that are stored ina database. What I need to do is make a system to be able to create new values from the stored values. For example, advertising equivelancy is calculated by multiplying the artical size with the newspapers advertising rate.
What I have done is created a report column class that stores a formula to calculate the value in that column. In my example the formula is CI (column inches == size) X AR (ad rate). this is stored in a string that looks like "CI*AR" What I want to do at runtime is to convert the string to values and calculate the column value. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write my own parser?

Thanks for the tip. I did some searching on Google and found a package called JEP - Java Mathematical Expression Parser (http://www.singularsys.com/jep/) that might do the trick. All I will have to do is write the parser to replace the variables with numbers

Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??

Here's my problem in a nutshell:
My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
Cheers!

What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc.

Give me some ideas for the project.

Hi,folks
I am not familiar with programming in web services. Now i have a project related to web services need to finish. I want to someone give me some ideas for the project. how can i implement the access control services. is there anyone can give me some related links for me to learn.
Project Title: Implementing an access control service
Project Description:
Web services are emerging as a new approach to system construction and will make a major impact on the engineering of future business systems. They will allow a move from enterprise to inter-enterprise computing. However, with inter-enterprise computing, there are major problems with providing access to shared data, given that enterprises will not wish to share all data with partners.
This project aims to investigate this problem by developing a prototype of an access control service that will help decide whether or not data access should be permitted. In essence, companies will outsource their access control to this service and so will not need to maintain their own access control lists for a potentially rapidly changing set of users.
Suggested Platform: Windows or Linux
Suggested Languages & Tools: Java

Well, the approach I've come accross is a central server which is typically accessed indirectly from the web servers (e.g. through SOAP protocol or RMI).
The remote server sends a user id and a password (or more likely a digest of the password), and receives a session token, basically just a random string of characters which is checked with the central server each time a secure transaction is attempted. The token will be stored in a session object, or perhaps directly in a cookie or in the URLs.
Active session tokens are stored on the central server for comparison. This means the password doesn't have to be retained in the server.
It's possible for the session token to be transfered if the user switches from one site to another on the same authentication server.
Sun distributes one of these beasties, by the way, so you could take a look at their product specs.

Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
Any thoughts?
Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

jlincoln wrote:
"Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
"What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
"I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.

Need Ideas For Storage Units Data Storage Capabilities - Special Attributes? History? 2 Ind-UMs

Hello experts,
The company I'm working for is looking into permanently-storing pallet level information (keep a history of the pallet movements) and use RF-scanners to move product in the warehouse. They have made a decision to implement Warehouse Management's Storage Unit Management functionality. They looked into Handling Units as well, but they don't want to use HUs for many reasons.
They would also like to store 2 units of measure at the Storage Unit level without activating "Catch Weight Management" because that would require them to run parallel systems for a while and also deal with CWM functionality restrictions. Keep in mind that most of the products they handle are catch-weight products, so UM conversions don't work for them.
Solutions I have in mind:
For storing 2 independent UMs: Store the quantity of the 2nd unit of measure in a custom table at the Storage Unit level and use custom RF-scanner programs to "receive, issue, scrap, and move" goods in the warehouse. These custom RF-scanner programs would update SAP standard table with 1st (base) UM and also custom table with 2nd UM.
For permanenlty-storing SU history: Use custom table to to store Storage Unit History. The custom programs created to handle the SUs would update this custom table.
Last time I checked, the history of a Storage Unit is not recorded in SAP, correct? ONLY in Handling Units, correct?
OR are there any documents/tables that permanently store the Storage Unit number so they can be queried after the Storage Unit is consumed/issued?
I know SAP keeps improving its applications with every release, so I'm just looking at my options here.
Does anyone else have any other ideas on how to approach this other than Using Handling Units & Catch Weight Management?
Thanks in advance!
-Mr. Bello

For storing 2 independent UMs
Can you please explore the LS26 option there also system is allowing you to change the parameter"Unit of measure" and displays the stock on different UoM, hopefully this will solve your problem and you need not design a custom table to store the value at different UoM level
For permanenlty-storing SU history:
System store the storage unit related value in table : LEIN however the moment you do any consumption or movement to non SU the entries goes off from this table hence i think the approach taken by you seems the only one approach to store the historical data. (Make sure you are taking into consideration of the archiving activity as you proceed further the size of database will get bigger and time to generate any report will take longer then expected

Eclipse 1.3.2 window freezes issue, wrong IDE for win 7 or bad config?

Hi everyone, this is my first thread on this forum...well this is my first thread ever.
I wasn't sure where to post my question, but since it is veeeery noobish, I'm posting it here instead of the obscure 'other' development section.
I installed the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers the other day version 1.3.2 for my OS which is Windows 7 x86.
I installed the Java SE development kit 6 and had already the Java 6 runtime thingy installed way before I even considered studying computer science.
The problem is that when I run the code below the Java popup window appears.....but it won't close if I click on the 'x' to close it :/
Anyone knows the cause to this problem? It would save me a lot of time and mental sanity, I've been fighting with it for some time now.
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind gimbal2, the issue has been solved and I've had some time on my hands to figure out that the IDE wasn't giving me those problems in other istances other than the one I presented in this thread, it was the code itself :/
Now I'm more aware and have started ignoring the feeling of helplessness of trying to learn a OOP language with such huuuuuge resources and APIs..The trick is to learn how to find answers. A forum shouldn't be your first visit, your brain is. Try to reason why you are getting certain errors or why something isn't working. If you get an error, copy/paste the part that is not specific to you into Google and see what you get. Mostly the error you get is the result of something else blowing up, look further and see if maybe something else was not working either.
Sometimes you have to deeper. I have had occasions where I needed to download the source code of an API so that I could step through it in debugging mode. That in itself is for me a very good reason to stick with open source stuff only; debugging capabilities.

Best RAID configuration for storing Datafiles and Redo log files

Database version:10gR2
OS version: Solaris
Whis is the best RAID level for storing Datafiles and Redo log files?

Oracle recommends SAME - Stripe And Mirror Everything.
In the RAC Starter Kit documentation, they specifically recommend not using RAID5 for things like voting disk and so on.
SAN vendors otoh claims that their RAID5 implementations are as fast as RAID10. They do have these massive memory caches...
But I would rather err on the safer side. I usually insist on RAID10 - and for those databases that I do not have a vested interest in (other than as a DBA), and owners, developers and management accept RAID5, I put the lead pipe away and do not insist on having it my way. :-)

Ideas for iTunes

Just a few ideas for the next version of iTunes.
-Tags: right now, one can only select one genre for a specific piece of music. Allowing tags to be added, or multiple categories, would allow browsing and searching to be much more accurate. The same thing goes for artists. I recognize that notes could be used for this purpose, but I think something more systematic would be better.
-Ratings: 0-5 stars? Great. Add another level, and limit the number of tracks it can be applied to. Call it "Favorites." Limit it to 10 or 20 tracks (or give the user the option to set a limit). You could also use this in the iTunes store, identifying the tracks most people name as "favorites" (of course, this would also work with 5 stars).

Both of your suggestions can be implemented to some extent using smart playlists.
For multiple genres, you can add additional genres as keywords in Grouping or Comments. You would then set your conditions so the "Match Any", "Genre is X" and "Grouping contains Y" Check Live Updating.
The work-arounds for your ratings idea is not quite as simple. To increase the number of ratings levels you would have to add your own ratings system using the Groupings or Comments fields. To limit the number of tracks with a certain rating would take two playlists. The first one, named, say, "Favorites", would have the conditions "My Rating is 5 stars" and "Limit to 20 songs selected by most often played" with Live Updating. To see if you have tagged more than 20 songs with a 5-star rating, create a second smart playlist with the conditions "Match All", "My Rating is 5 stars" and "Playlist is not Favorites" with Live Updating. You would have to manually change the ratings in this second playlist.
Multiple genres is not something set up in the standardized tagging system used in digital music, so Apple would have to create something proprietary which would not be recognized if you loaded your music in another player.
This is the first time I have seen a request for limiting the number of songs for a rating. As many more common requests have not yet been implemented, I do not see Apple implementing this request, but you should still request it so they can make the decision.

Ideas for synth programing

I'm having fun playing with (learning) about programing the syths that are built into Logic Express. I've read the manuals about how the various synths work and how programing works etc...
I was wondering if there was some type of website or forum where folks share settings, patches and programing ideas for LE synths. In other words, if say someone were to program a great "mini-moog" lead sound for example, I would like to know about it.
Can patches be shared between users? Or would an explaination of a patch ex. set the filter to 2 o clock, set the modulation to 9 o clock be the way to share patches.
I think it would speed up my programing learning if I knew some nice sounds that people had found and tweaked them myself to learn how they were made.
Any thoughts,
Morris

Hi Morris,
your own created patches are saved (using default folder) into
Library/Application Support/Logic/Plug-in Settings/"Pluginname"/...
They are .pst files so you can transfer them where you want.
About sharing your opinion and sounds give a look at the Logic User Group on Yahoo Groups; there you'll find shared patches too.
Note: http://logic-users.org/ is exactly the same group but the menu file, where patches are stored, is only on the original Yahoo group.
cheers

Ideas for masters project in algorithmic problems?

Hi,
I'm about to start my masters project in computer science. The topic is algorithmic problems. So I'm wondering if you have any ideas for a project?
I have some ideas, but I'd like to get more. One of the ideas is to "remake the most annoying app you are forced to use". I'm not really forced to use any annoying apps though, perhaps some of you guys are? It has to require some sort of clever algorithmic design.
Thanks!

Well I could tell you some complex ones I got in touch with on my college, but they're pretty scenario-specific, so I don't know how will you like them:
1) Make a fully-playable checkers game with advanced AI.
2) Find fastest route from any point A to any point B on a grayscale map, with white pixel being the lowest altitude, and black being the highest altitude.
3) Make a system for student group substitution. This must include: StudentA from GroupA wants to switch to GroupB, but there are no spaces available in GroupB. StudentB from GroupB wants to switch to GroupC, which is also full. StudentC from GroupC wants to go to GroupA, but only switch available to him is an offer to go to GroupB from StudentB which he can execute. When he does it, he could switch with a StudentA for GroupA. But, he won't do that because he's not sure StudentA wants a spot in GroupB. Design a system which would recognize this and list all the pathways so each student can get into group he wants by switching groups to that target group. Note: this is said to be extremely difficult to make btw
4) ...
I'll edit if I remember more.
These were from few ago and it's possible I missed something in presenting them to you, I wrote them in my own words.

APO DP - BADI for storing forecast error in mass processing

I am using APO DP V5.
Does anyone have experience of using the BADI for storing the forecast error in mass processing?
My questions:
1. Which BADI is it?
2. Which forecast errors can it store (eg MAD, MAPE, customer specific errors?)
3. How does it work - does it store the fcst error(s) in a key figure, or a table?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin

Bob,
Go to SE19 --> create implementation: BADI name /sapapo/sdp_fcst4. give some Z name to implementation. Go to interface tab, select activate_fcst_version method, just write 1 line code inside:
ev_flag_active = 'X'.
activate the method, activate the BADI implementation too.
This BADI records background forecasting errors into these two tables: /sapapo/fcsthead & /sapapo/fcstaccu.
Rgds,
SB.
It stores all of the forecast errors including customer specific errors.
SB.

Workshop IDE for WebLogic Platform - JSF Portlet Development

Hello,
I am trying to develop JSF based portlets using BEA Workshop for WebLogic Platform IDE. The capabilities of the IDE in terms of JSF is like a simple text editor. Since the IDE is eclipse based, I wanted to to use some Third Party Plugin for JSF development.
I evaluated the following:
1. Workshop Studio for JSF
2. MyEclipse PlugIn for JSF
Problem 1:
Workshop Studio for JSF is a separate product and cannot be installed as an plugin over the Workshop IDE.
Is this acheivable?
Problem 2:
I created a Portal application Workspace through Workshop for Platform and opened the same using Workshop Studio for JSF. It crashed saying some runtime exceptions.
Problem 3:
MyEclipse PlugIn for JSF doesnt integrate properly with Workshop IDE. The Faces navigational flow view is not working properly.
Questions:
1. What is BEA's recommendation for JSF development?
2. Can you guide me how other developers are using the IDE for JSF development?
Thanks and regards,
Pazhanikanthan. P

Hi Pazhanikanthan,
Unfortunately, in the current release the JSF features cannot be used to create JSF portlets.
Please check the following URL for additional information on JSF portlet creation
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs92/portlets/building.html#wp1062147
If you are planning on building JSF web applications, you can always evaluate and purchase a copy of Workshop for JSF or Workshop Studio.
if you are planning on building JSF based pportlets, you will need to sue the tooling provided by Workshop for WebLogic 9.2
Applications built in Workshop for WebLogic cannot be imported into Workshop Studio. On the other hand, you can always create a webapp in Workshop Studio,a nd then import it into Workshop for WebLogic as a component.
hope this helps.
cheers
Raj
If you have additional questions specific to portlet development, please post to the portal newsgroup at http://newsgroups.bea.com/bea/forum.jspa?forumID=2044

Which is the best and user freindly IDE for developing Java GUI application

Please advice me if there is any good IDE for developing all kind of Java applications.
I m confused about which IDE to use.
I have Searched on Net also. and most of the answers i found was for JBuilder and JBoss.
But cant confirm until u guys suggest me.
Because i think this is the best place to ask questions about java.
Please advice

If you're developing JSPs and Servlets....
I've found that using Eclipse (which is free) coupled with the MyEclipse plug-in (an advanced J2EE specific plug-in which costs $29.99USD/year) was the best for me. I've tried several free J2EE Eclipse plug-ins, didn't like them. Wasn't a big fan of NetBeans either, but I liked it tons better than the other Eclipse plug-ins.
Therefore, IMHO for free I'd go with NetBeans, for a small fee I'd go with Eclipse/MyEclipse plug-in.
If you are new to J2EE but not to Java, you may want to consider going straight to JSF and Sun's Java Studio Creator. This is not free, but the fee is one-time and development is (mostly) visual using Java Studio Creator.
