Interface options

I'm trying to figure out a way to interface online the SAP R/3 with an external non-SAP system. For example when a shipment is created in the R/3 environment, it is suppose to create the same shipment in an external system immediately. Which solution do you think it's best to use, IDOC, Badi, other...
Thanks in advance.

Hi keerthi,
I also think the bapi approch would be more interesting. Could you me point me out (high level), what would be the steps to do this? I'm guessing:
- use an exit called in the shipment creation
- define rfc connection (tcode - sm59), to target system
I'm not so sure of the next steps... how do i create de bapi to communicate and send the data to the target system ?
Thanks a lot

Setting persistent interface options not availible in preferences.

Hello,
I'm looking for the proper place (file(s) to edit) to add customized network interface options which will be applied at boot up and anytime there are network location (kicker) change.
I need to assign en0 a non default metric upon system boot and any time the interface may be reset. I can do this with "ifconfig en0 metric 100" but am looking for where I can automate this without requiring the client to type it in each time it is required.
All machines are 10.5.x or 10.6.x.
Thanks for your help,
greg

Insofar as system boot is concerned, you could create a launchd.plist file to do this and put it in /Library/LaunchDaemons/. Here is a draft plist that might do this -- in other words, I copied one of mine and made a couple of quick text edits so this may or may not work. But it should get you going down the right path.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>metric</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/sbin/ifconfig</string>
<string>en0</string>
<string>metric</string>
<string>100</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
You may be able to use something like the "watchpaths" key if something in a file or directory someplace changes when the interface may be reset. That would add another key like
<key>WatchPaths</key>
<array>
<string>/path/to/file/or/directory/to/watch</string>
</array>
Do a man launchd and man launchd.plist to read more about how to create launchd jobs. Also, look at how Apple has done some of theirs: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.periodic-daily.plist, for example.

This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic.

Hi there,
I was wondering whether anyone could tell me which feature in Windows 7 produces this message "This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of
the package to basic." and whether it can be turned off in Windows to prevent this message from appearing when installing certain programs that aren't WHQL certified. At first I thought it was the UAC control that generated this message but found out
that it wasn't and then thought it was the DEP control and found out that it wasn't this either. I'm only seem to be getting this message when installing FileDirector Component Service Version 3 on a few of our workstations which is an add-on that allows file
integration with Office and is part of FileDirector WinClient Version 3.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I know of a way to bypass this message but would ideally not like to have the feature turned on and for the message not to be appear for non WHQL certified program installations in order to make non WHQL certified program installations in the future much
easier, more simpler and straightforward to carry out. I was redirected by a moderator off the Microsoft Community Forum.

Hi,
You can try following options to disable this prompt, but we don't recommend you to do so since this feature helps you to protect your computer.
Option 1: Run command as admin:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Restart your computer to apply changes.
Option 2: Disable in GPO:
1.Type gpedit.msc in the Run dialog and press Enter.
2.In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to User Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Driver Installation.
3.Double-click on Code signing for device drivers in the right-side pane as shown above.
4.In the windows that opens, choose Enabled. In the Options, choose Ignore as shown. Then click on the OK button to save the settings.
Restart your computer to apply changes.

Audio interface options.... impending crisis?

this is probably of interest to many pro audio people.
I just noticed that the new macbookpro does not have firewire 800, only firewire 400. given that this machine is obviously a pro machine (the name is a giveaway) which would normally have implied including firewire 800, this doesn't bode well for the future of the inclusion of high end firewire..
given the paucity of options for audio hardware in the PCI-express world, and the fact that firewire 800 is currently the best option in the absence of PCI, it looks like we are truly headed for a drought in pro audio interface options until new cards and boxes start rolling out. IMO, this is not the greatest of situations.
opinions?

Check Harmony Central every day.
http://www.harmony-central.com
The Winter NAMM convention is in a week and a half and there should be lots of announcements from audio interface manufacturers about how they're going to stay compatible with Intel on Mac.
The MacBook Pro has a card slot that could host future SATA and FireWire 800 interfaces from third parties. Some are on the market already, so the question would be driver support.

User Interface option not shown

Just installed Adobe Creative Cloud ->Flash Professional CS6 --My question is, I'm trying to change the user interface to dark grey. the program installed in white. When I go to Edit->Preferences->General there is no "user interface" option. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
You can install any CC application if you have a valid creative cloud subscription. Please try the following
1. Install Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
2. Login with your Creative Cloud credentials
3. Click on the Apps section where you will see the list of cc products for installation under FIND NEW APPS category
4. You should find Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging for installation

The cpu interface option

Hi!
I have a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mainboard with a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ cpu installed. This cpu runs with 400Mhz fsb and the mainboard bios is the latest version (7.8). I also have 2x 256Mb TwinMos DDR running in dual channel mode with the timings 2.5-3-3-8. Nothing is overclocked and everything is working fine.
What I would like to know is what the "cpu interface" option in the bios really does. It can be set to "normal" or "high performance". When is set to high performance, testing with sisoft sandra 2005 shows an increase in the memory bandwidth and the results with 3dmark2003 are also higher. Is this some sort of overclock? If so, what does it change? Does it have long term consequences or can it damage anything?

These are the benchmark results:

RFC start on explicit host - fast sync interface options to iSeries

Hi all,
Sorry if this is going to be a bit long..
Back on my old stomping grounds, times change, so do backend systems, we're now running SAP on Unix/Oracle with iseries SAP systems being phased out. This also meant that I moved from hardcore as400 techie to a more intermediate figure between application and real basis. Oh well.
I have an interesting situation though. We need to establish an ATP check interface between Unix/Oracle CRM 5.0 and our legacy iseries application. ATP check is basically checking if stock is present for a customer order. The check is performed during ordering so it should be realtime and fast.
A number of people with more money than knowledge decided the best bet was to implement a biztalk webservice between CRM and iseries. The webservice would call a stored procedure via jdbc. It'll work I'm convinced.
We have been given until monday to come up with a good alternative (which basically means the weekend..)
From an infrastructure point of view I do not want this at all for several reasons.
Our main applications are SAP and legacy as400 with SAP XI in the middle, so at least if we use a intermediate system we should use XI. Introducing a new platform is foolish and bad for maintenance and support
Since the interface should be lean and mean I'm thinking maybe bypass XI as well. Basically these are the options for this interface:
1: CRM HTTP (RFC) to XI to as400 stored procedure
2: CRM HTTP (RFC) to XI to apache webserver
3: CRM HTTP RFC directly to iseries apache webserver
option 2 could be useful if we have to do a lot of mapping in the interface (which I do not expect)
Apache webservers call a iseries program which will (probably) send back back a XML with the stock info
Then I looked into my old iseries on as400 redbook and found these two further options:
4: Using a CPI-C connection from CRM to iseries for direct program call (SG244672 12.7.1)
5: using a RFC connection from CRM to iseries for direct program call (SG244672 12.7.2)
I'm not too familiar with cpi-c so I investigated the RFC option a bit. The tests I have done sofar have either failed because of firewall issues or because this option is not supported in certain system implementations (SAP on iseries 46d does not allow it
The one issue I'm not certain about yet is whether the receiving iseries system needs a SAP gateway. Since it is completely legacy at the moment it has no SAP components at all. If I would have to install a SAP gateway for this I'm not sure if we're still lean and mean.
So questions: is there any experience with option 5 to iseries? If option 5 does not seem feasible I'll probably advice to go to option 3, we have some experience with that and will also definitely work.
Any other comments on these infrasructure scenario's are very welcome too!
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
tja, what shall we say ?
if you are really interested in a VERY fast and "rock-stable" solution, RFC should be your friend ))
We are having lots of eperience with your "option 5" ...
We even support that
You can have a look at:
http://www.consolut.net/en/s/download/contool.html
There are tools available, that could help you ... and they do work ... but I think, there is no documentation attached to that ...
The biggest issue in my eyes is your timeframe and the current weekend ...
We could definetely help you here and make it to a fast and reliable solution ...

Interfaces: Optional Operations

Sometimes, reading interfaces' API's, I see "optional operations" next to some methods. Does that mean that one can actually not implement such a method and yet it would compile, or only that the implemented method can do whatever the programmer wants it to do, and yet the implementation would be considered good one?
If the first take, that is that the implementation can be omitted, how does one set methods optional while writing an interface (i.e., is there a reserved word for that)?
Thanks Ori

It means that an implementation can literally consist solely of throw new UnsupportedOperationException();

Firmware update with black menu interface option?

Hello folks and Apple people,
I purchased my black 30gb iPod a few weeks ago, and it's cool except for the fact anything that comes in contact with the casing scratches it. A little disappointed in that but from what I gather the only thing to resolve the issue has been to put the soft white case in with each model (which also scratches the acrylic) :-/
Anyway, my main question is one that I think others would be interested to know about. Are Apple going to release a version of the software for this iPod that permits me to change the menus from a white background to a black one with white text? It looks a little out of place with such a cool black unit, and a black user interface would seriously rock.
I can only hope!
Athlon 64 3500+ Windows XP Pro Waiting to buy my first Intel Mac as soon as they come out!!

Sounds cool, but it would probably look goofy and hard to see the album art. But i do like the idea of being able to change background and menu colors.

I was able to use the "With Xib for user interface" a couple of days ago but now when I try to create new object-c file with xib interface, I cant use the checkbox. It is disabled. What may be the problem? How can I create a file with xib again?

Does the following Stack Overflow question help you?

Interface options to allow user to download attachments

I am adding the capability to my web-based e-mail application to aloow users to get their attachments when the read their messages. I can find the attachments fine, I can save them to the local filesystem fine, I can also store them in my database (mySQL) fine, but I have a design issue.
What is the "best' way to allow the user to GET their attachments?
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

you can probably do it through a squirrelmail plugin, but the mail password should be the same as the account's OD password, unless you've configured mail to run off a separate directory or local user list.

LV RT Hardware Interface Options

I currently have a PC Remote Desktop system. This computer has a serial port and usb ports on it. Can I utilize those ports to speak to another device through LV?
For example, I would like to be able to send data via RS232 over the serial port of this computer to another device, and be able to retrieve data from it. Does LV RT support this? If so, which toolbox/sets of commands must I use to properly communicate with another device.
For those who are wondering, the other device is a microprocessor based custom board. Ideally, I would like a user of an application to be able to send commands (small text strings) to the board, and be able to view or interpret the boards response.
If this can't be done via RS232 is there a way I can do it through USB without needing to create my own driver?
Thanks a bunch,
~milq
If anyone has any questions, fire em out!

Hello,
You can use a certain level of “simulation” capabilities…more like setting up off line devices as explained in Document ID: 3W6EFRLX.
Unfortunately in Scan mode these features won’t help much if you truly want to simulate the behavior of your program but if you only want to start building the application and preparing the VIs before getting the hardware then it should help you get started.
Also, you can try to work around the limitation by running your RT VI on the windows Host and the module related logic on FPGA with simulated IO.
I hope this helps

13.1 Interface Changes

Hi,
Im really enjoying the new look. Thanks to everyone on the AE team for this new release.
I have a few questions.
- My tool tips don't work for the motion blur/frame blending icon panel in the timeline. This is ok for me but has stumped some of our trainees.
- The feature where you could hover the curser over a layer in the timeline and see a wire frame display of the bounding box for that layer in the project panel is missing for me. Is there a new preference for this?
- I always have my preview panel set to loop but when i fire up AE it will always stop at the end of a comp unless I cycle through the looping options. This seems strange.
Thanks for your time.
Glenn

Allow me to heartily second Dave's complaint. I really really really really HATE that Adobe has done away with the OPTION of having a dark on light interface. And for literally no other reason than to unify the look of Adobe software across the line and look sophisticated (or something). The shortsightedness is breathtaking.
What's so awful about giving users a choice? If someone likes light on dark, slide that slider and there you go. If someone likes dark on light, slide the slider the other way, and there you go.
But now, no choice. You're going to use light on dark, and YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT. "You'll get used to it."
IMO, Adobe's implementation of light on dark has sucked since that interface option was introduced way back in, I don't know, AE 7 or 8? The white text is WAY too bright and contrasty. I understand the rationale of having a dark interface that doesn't wash out your composition window, and I tried the dark interface time and again, but my eyes couldn't take it for very long. I have no problem with Maxon's version of light on dark; I don't know why Adobe can't get it right. Cinema 4D allows the user to customize the color of almost every interface element. I wish Adobe had as much respect for its customers. Jeebus help us if Adobe acquires Cinema 4D.
I've been using AE since around 1997 (version 3.1). Time and time again I see useful features tossed aside (wireframe previews, vector paint, the old lens blur, interface flexibility, etc) that have negatively impacted my productivity. That's not to say that some new features have improved my productivity, but why do those new features have to come at the expense of some of these older ones?
And yes, I will submit a feature request (to bring back the dark on light interface OPTION) as I've done time and time before, and I will expect the same non-result.

Is there a non-idiot interface to BT Cloud?

In the process of ugrading to Infinity 2 so thought I'd take a look at BT Cloud since the 50Gb available could be useful to me. However, I can only find a frankly patronising application which wants to sort everything into 'photos', 'music', 'videos', 'documents' or 'other'. If I upload files to 'Other' it randomly splits them into other headings and it seems impossible to manage a meaningful directory structure within the storage at all.
Despite at times offering to upload 'folders or files', it won't allow folders when I try! The help text contains whole missing pages so doesn't help either!
The set-up process placed a 'BT Cloud' folder in my (Win 8) file structure, but placing a directory and files in there as a test does absolutely nothing. What I was hoping for was something closer to Google Drive through which I could manage and synch files in BT Cloud storage using a simple directory/fil structure.
Am I missing something obvious? If there's an intelligent interface somewhere that I'm missing, could somebody point me to it please?!

Yes, it is pretty bad, but some answers.
Despite at times offering to upload 'folders or files', it won't allow folders when I try! The desktop interface does allow folder upload. Choose add to backup, add files or folders, navigate to the folder, select it (do NOT double-click), and click Open. However, that won't work for mapped drives and a few other siutations.
The set-up process placed a 'BT Cloud' folder in my (Win 8) file structure, but placing a directory and files in there as a test does absolutely nothing. Seems to be true. But once you do select a folder as above, it will sync it to backup almost the way you want. I don't think the backup can be automatically synced on to other devices, though. For now, it is more a backup than a cloud synchronization program.
If there's an intelligent interface somewhere that I'm missing No. I explicitly asked this (in a different form, see ** below), and was told it wasn't what their target users would want. Obviously, you and I aren't their target users.
Why does it BT decide what I want to upload – I, like most(?), wish to have control over what I have uploaded to the cloud. It doesn't necessarily decide. If you don't allow it to backup the defaults on setup, it won't choose to backup anything until you configure it to. If you did accidently allow it to use the defaults, you can unclick them later in 'Add to backup'. I agree the interface for adding and removing things is clumsy, but it does give control of what directories to back up.
Why hasn’t BT a separate forum for Cloud – if they have I can’t find it. They said they would add this if there was enough forum interest in BT Cloud.
how do I delete ALL I have uploaded? Goto the (clumsy) desktop interface for 'Add to backup' and untick all the items you no longer want backed up. They will be removed (without comment, see someone else's post) from your clound storage. Not sure if they are removed directly or moved to Trash.
~~~
BT Cloud backup is very slow on all but very large files; for which it is only fairly slow.
The reason I asked for a different interface was in case there was an interface that supported programs such as FileZilla; which should be able to back up much faster.
I am using BT Cloud for a few pictures that can be shared and viewed online. I use SquirrelSave for real cloud backup; much faster and for those that want a more technical interface options much cleaner. Also unlimited, and excellent support.
b.t.w They don't advertise it much, but you can get free Flickr Pro with (many/most/all?) BT broadband contracts. That could also be a useful alternative/complement to BT Cloud.

Is there an audio interface for Imac with Leopard???

Hi Guys,
Im new here. Just got my IMac 24" 2.8ghz 10.5.1 Leopard last week. I love everything about it but Im having a real hard time finding an audio interface to use with Garageband. I tried the M-Audio Firewire Solo...found out quick it is not compatible. So I figure what the ** i'll downgrade and go with the M-Audio Mobilepre USB audio interface...usb, no fuss no muss right...WRONG! It doesnt work either! I tried downloading the most current driver from M-audio's website but still no go. I guess Leopard and intel machines are hard to please. Also the audio interface has to have phantom power to run a condensor mic. So my questions to you guys is this:
1. Are there any other audio interface options out there with phantom power for $200 or less that will run with my Imac ?
2. If not, why in the ** would Apple design a machine with Garageband then not set it up to accept any reasonably priced audio interface currently on the market? Tell me Im just uninformed...say it isnt so!
Sorry if it sounds like Im aggravated...I am! I had hoped to get some recording time in this weekend but its looking doubtful now.
I did post this in the Garageband discussion as well...thanks.
Any help with the mobile preamp, other interface recommendations, etc. are greatly appreciated!

drawback is that it's USB 1.1 -- so, there are some
tradeoffs in the number of simultaneous I/O channels
versus data rate and resolution.
I've listed a few other USB options worth exploring
below -- I believe they all have phantom power:
[E-Mu 0404 USB|http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=610&subcategory=611&produc t=15185]
[Edirol UA-25|http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=704&ParentI d=114]
[Line6 TonePort UX2|http://line6.com/toneportux2>
I'm not sure what the situation is WRT Leopard-compatible
drivers for any of the above -- you'll have to check the
manufacturers' web sites.
Check amazon.com and MusiciansFriend.com for prices; also,
be sure to check the customer comments on MusiciansFriend.
They're often very thorough and informative -- typically
much better than Amazon's.
...rock on!
