Is it really a Partner?

http://soft4pcs.com provides low price softwares like adobe products
Saying that they are an ADOBE CERTIFIED PARTNER
is it real or it is a scam???

The partner application sample can be used in two different ways -
a) Through portal : When invoked within portal, entry point will be PartnerProvider class.
b) Outside portal : PartnerServlet will be the entry point in this case.
Both these classes relie on "sso_papp_servlet_id" cookie for authentication check. Once the user is successfully authenticated with the partner application, a login cookie will be sent to the client browser which will serve as an authentication token from then on. So, the use of PartnerServlet here is that it can also be used as a stand-alone application, whose authentication mechanism is same as that of partner application.
I guess this clearly differentiates the use of PartnerServlet and Portal's partner application, and infact the name is justifiable.

Find Deliveries with the reference of Payer

is the payer really a partner in your deliveries?
or just a partner in sales order and billing document.
you can only find delivery documents based on partners that are available in your delivery.

Thanks to everyone but looks like I'll be changing forums

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here. The information on here has been valuable and will be using it once I start again. My rebuilding journey has taken a dramatic turn and now i have to go down the BK path. Sometimes we need to take a few steps back to get going forward again. It's a small setback in an otherwise long process.

I filed in 2007 and quite frankly, I cannot wait until 2017 to see this completely removed from all my CR's. Ten year's is SOOOOOOO much longer than the unbearable seven for most derogs. Think about it, it's almost 50% longer, and not counting your childhood or teenage year's, stays with you for about 1/5th of your entire adulthood. Even to this day, being 8 year's old, it still affects my ability to get some CC's and rent in some places. It's like a very dark cloud that's always there. No matter what you apply for, questions are always asked, and in many cases, regardless of your score, you'll be declined. CH 7 should not be taken lightly, and used in cases where there's absolutely no other way out of debt. In my case, I was involved in a business with a really bad partner and was on the hook for over 2 million in personal guarantees. I had no way of ever paying this debt once we split and the company was dissolved. Not trying to talk you out of it, but letting you know this course of action will follow you for a long time in one way or another. Best of luck.

SSO requires double login for partner application

I'm having some trouble with SSO partner applications, when I login to a SSO protected application, the login works fine, but when I try to navigate to another application I'm presented with the login page again, the sso cookie seems to be working since clicking on the login button without entering the user credentials works. For example, I log in to portal and from there I navigate to a forms application that is on the same server and the same port (portal: https://apps.mydomain.com:4444/pls/portal --> forms: https://apps.mydomain.com/forms/frmservlet?config=app) I am presented with the login page and after clicking on the login button without entering any information everything works fine. This is happening for all the middle tiers that are connected to the same OID. Any ideas on what can be wrong on my configuration?

Hi Andrey,
The problem sounds really wierd.
Can you check your SSO settings for your Portal ECC system? I mean, please check the User Management/Administration properties in your System Adminstration of Portal System that points to ECC.

Partner Application Registration

When using the Administer Partner Applications page, it appears the application is not being registered completely. The information does not appear in the WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$ table, as has been suggested in prior posts (everything is fine in WWSSO_PAPP_CONFIGURATION_INFO$).
I am attempting to deploy the SSO SDK demo PL/SQL application, which works fine when logged into Portal. However, when not logged into Portal, I receive the following errors:
"Error in application: missing application registration information
Please register this application as described in installation guide"
This error is driven by the PL/SQL exception:
"wwsec_sso_enabler_private.enabler_config_not_found"
What am I missing? I have created several Partner applications, and none of them appear in the WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$ table. I have sucessfully loaded the SSOHash into my partner schemas.
Environment:
Win2000
Portal 3.0.7
Thanks in advance...
Dean

Paul,
Thanks for the info; however, I'm still unable to get the SSO SDK sample, or any partner app, to work.
I have read the docs, what little there is, and followed the steps closely. Everything executes ok.
I have several questions:
1. When executing the REGAPP.SQL script that comes with the SDK, it indicates to login as the partner schema. I have noticed when running this script, the entry is stored in the partner schema table WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$, not the one owned by Portal. Is this correct?
2. My partner app is really a PL/SQL Server Page (PSP) application which uses the same server as Portal. When entering the Listener Token name, I have been using the same server name as Portal. Is this a problem? What is this token used for? Must it be unique for each partner application?
3. In your response you mentioned changes to the REGAPP script. I found no mention of any changes in the docs with SSO SDK. Am I missing something?
Finally, is there any better documentation for the SDK and/or partner application configuration. The readme and install files do not, in my opinion, pass as documentation.
Thanks...
Dean

How do my partner and I share our calendars on our iPhones?

Hello. I am completely new to all of this so I apologise if I don't follow any protocols correctly. I would love some help to figure out the best way for my partner and I to share our calendars on our iPhones please. I have done a lot of research but I still have no idea where to start. I guess I am leaning towards some kind of app but open to all options. I would love us to be able to view and edit each others calendars and also a "shared" calendar which stores appointments and events that we are both committed to. It would be handy if an event was added to the "shared" events calendar, for it to be automatically added to each of our individual schedules. I should also mention that the apple devices we have are my iPhone 4, my partners iPhone 4s, and also the latest iPad (I think it is a 4 with retina?), but no Mac desktop or laptop computer.
I have read a lot of good things about the app "Fantastical" and like the look of it but not sure if it is a personal calendar or if we can both use it to add and edit from our seperate devices. Doesn't look like it has a task manager though. Also, do I have to have a gmail account to link to these apps? Information that I've read seems to talk about syncing with other calendars but we don't currently use any kind of digital calendar. I would be open to creating one if necessary but if it could all be done in the one app that would be great.
Open to suggestions on other apps - I have downloaded a few free couples ones such as "Avocado", "Cozi" and "Simply Us" to preview and would be open to purchasing full versions if I knew they were right for me - so far it doesn't look to me like there is a big enough emphasis on the calendar feature, they are about messaging and photos which aren't a priority at all for us. Cozi seems to have a lot of the features I'm after, but when I view the "Shared" calendar it shows shared events, but then they do not show up in our individual calendars. Also the To Do section doesn't seem to correspond to days, just a general list, so you can't assign certain tasks to certain days. The features I am after is mainly a calendar with the specifications I have listed above (individual and shared calendars that can all be viewed and edited by both parties, and shared calendar events automatically booked on to individual calendars as well - also daily or weekly views as well as monthly). A To Do or Task Manager feature would also be great, preferably where you could see who added which item to the list, or seperate lists. And lastly, a grocery list that we could both view and update. But I mainly would just like a great shared calendar and a task manager/to do as a bonus!
Does anyone have any advice for me? I think I am after a little more than the standard calendar app that comes with the iPhone? Also, we don't have iCloud set up and have no idea how to do this or really even what it is - as you can see I'm a bit of a beginner and pretty hopeless. Really don't know where to start.
Sorry for the length of this post, I am just very confused! Thank you so much in advance to anyone who is kind enough to take the time to respond.

One more thing sorry, it would also be great if my partner was alerted when I added or edited something, and visa versa. Thanks again.

Hi,
the content was purchased using two different Apple-IDs / Accounts?
If above is the case, then I fear you cannot merge the content using now one combined account. Content always belongs to one dedicated account. As well as a iTunes library can only belong to one dedicated Apple-ID. And also the iPhone can only belong to one dedicated iTunes library and also Apple ID (for the store stuff, for iCloud stuff you can use a second ID)

Business Partner Role Specific Field View in WebClient

Hello to everyone,
I have a question that really needs a answer. We are upgrading from SAP CRM v4 to SAP CRM v7.0 and as such we have a number of custom Business Partner Roles within the Person BP Type. Against these custom roles we have developed custom field and tabs in order to separate the content within the BP Role further.
After rolling off an implementation of SAP CRM v6.0 [2007], the following seems apparent:
- Assignment of Roles is done via an assignment block in the Customer Maintenance view.
- You can create Business Partners in different roles initially.
- You cannot maintain Business Partner details in specific roles
However, you cannot display the role specific fields as you can in the WinClient. As an example, a Citizen Role BP will have different fields to that of a Teacher, but these roles could be assigned to one Business Partner.
There does not seem to be any guidance as to how this is managed in the WebClient and as it seems a fundamental part fo the SAP CRM offering, you would have thought that this questions has been asked, but I have found no answers.
I really hope anyone can help and appreciate any time and effort put into solving my question.
Many Thanks,
MatFlat.

Hi MatFlat,
Yes, your observation is right - in the Web UI, fiel grouping is not implemented for roles. This is because the role concept is quite different between SAP Gui and Web UI.
In SAP gui, (CRM 4.0) roles had a functional meaning as well as a UI control. However, the concept was changed with Web UI. Now, roles have only a functional meaning, and no effect on the UI at all.
If you want to implement role based field grouping in Web UI, you need to define your own methods in the implementation class.
E.g : you can write code to influence the field properties based on the roles. I guess you can redefine the DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT methods of the impl class.
In order to get info about which roles the BP is maintained , you can use FM BUPA_ROLES_GET_2.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Rishu.

BC4J, Auditing, Partner Application and SSO

I am trying to figure out how to set up a BC4J-JSP app to use "database audit trail in entity objects" within a Portal/SSO environment.
Here is the situation;
Part 1:
I am able to partially get the auditing to work on a BC4J App Module in the tester by setting the appropriate history columns in the Entity Object and then setting the jbo.security.enforce property to "Test". Upon entering the tester I am challenged for a "username/password". At this point I can enter any credentials, I can then enter some data. Visually checking the database I find that the history "date" columns (date_created) are ok but the "user" columns (created_by) are not filled in.
Part 2:
Now if I set jbo.security.enforce property to "Test". I am not sure what user credential to enter here. I have looked at OID Manager for some clues for what username/password but I'm not sure if this is even in the ballpark.
Part 3:
At some point I will deploy this app as an SSO/Partner Application which will be accessed from a Portal page. Since authentication is handled by the SSO login page, I am confused about setting up the "database audit trail in entity objects" (from Part 1) as it talks about creating * another * login page. This seems contradictory so Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Part 1:
When setting jbo.security.enforce property to "Test", BC4J does not throw exception if credential is invalid. You should set it to "Must" if you really want to validate the credential. The "Test" setting does perform the authentication, a warning stating authentication fail is in the diagnostic output if the username/password is invalid. The "Test" setting is just to exercise the authentication but if it fail it does not stop the rest of the application. The "user" column (created_by) does not get fill could be cause by failed authentication or if the column is marked as Refresh on Update or Refresh on Insert, or if the client app insert null or zero length string into it.
Part 2:
BC4J default authentication uses the LoginModule from Oracle9iAS JAAS (in j2ee\home\jazn.jar). This LoginModule by default configure to use the lightweight jazn-xml. You can check this by looking "<jazn provider=..." in the j2ee\home\config\jazn.xml. If you are interested in using OID, you need to change it to <jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://myoid.us.oracle.com:389" />, "myoid.us.oracle.com:389" should be host address and port of your OID. There are a few predefined users in the lightweight jazn-xml if you wish to test it, there are admin/Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
Partner support
Infrastructure updates
Features and enhancements
Issues fixed by this release

Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,
Cristinel Anastasoaie
Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.

Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...

How to manage multiple operation within the same partner link ?

Hi,
I have a partner link with 2 possible operations : "sayYes" and "sayNo".
I want to do the following : if the operation is "sayYes", I return "YES", if it's "sayNo", I return "NO".
(not really complex... in theory)
In my WSDL file, I have the following :
     <message name="TestPickRequestYesMessage">
          <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessYesRequest"/>
     </message>
<message name="TestPickRequestNoMessage">
          <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessNoRequest"/>
     </message>
     <message name="TestPickResponseMessage">
          <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessResponse"/>
     </message>
     <portType name="TestPick">
          <operation name="sayYes">
               <input message="client:TestPickRequestYesMessage" />
               <output message="client:TestPickResponseMessage"/>
          </operation>
<operation name="sayNo">
               <input message="client:TestPickRequestNoMessage" />
               <output message="client:TestPickResponseMessage"/>
          </operation>
     </portType>
The returned value is in a string variable : "return_value".
I've created a "pick" activity :
<pick name="Pick_1" createInstance="yes">
<onMessage portType="client:TestPick" operation="sayYes"
variable="inputVariableYes" partnerLink="TestPick">
<sequence name="Sequence_1">
<assign name="setReturnYES">
<copy>
<from expression='"YES"'/>
<to variable="return_value"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from variable="return_value"/>
<to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:TestPickProcessResponse/client:result"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<reply name="replyOutputYES" partnerLink="TestPick"
portType="client:TestPick" operation="sayYes"
variable="outputVariable"/>
</sequence>
</onMessage>
<onMessage portType="client:TestPick" operation="sayNo"
variable="inputVariableNo" partnerLink="TestPick">
<sequence name="Sequence_2">
<assign name="setReturnNO">
<copy>
<from expression='"NO"'/>
<to variable="return_value"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from variable="return_value"/>
<to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:TestPickProcessResponse/client:result"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<reply name="replyOutputNO" partnerLink="TestPick"
portType="client:TestPick" operation="sayNo"
variable="outputVariable"/>
</sequence>
</onMessage>
</pick>

When I deploy and test this application, I have a huge problem : if a choose a "*sayNo*" message, my application do the following :
The "pick" activity logs :
<inputVariableYes>
- <part name="payload" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
- <ns1:TestPickProcessNoRequest xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestPick">
<ns1:input>
blabla
</ns1:input>
</ns1:TestPickProcessNoRequest>
</part>
</inputVariableYes>
I have a right "*TestPickProcessNoRequest *" message type.
BUT, the next activity is "setReturnYES", instead of "setReturnNO".

Can anyone tell me where I'm wrong ?
It looks like the "pick" activity always go with the first sequence...

Hi PhunkyBob,
I also had a hard time, finding out that the problem was with the BPEL console and not with my processes -.-
Perhaps it's the Browser, I too use Firefox. Did not try it in IE yet.
Here is the solution, try to switch to XML View and then change the Operation! (you will notice that it changes properly) Then you can either send it that way or return to HTML View.
I have always to it that way,.. gets really annoying when I have to test a process many times :-/ ...change to xml, change operation, back to html, making entries, send...
If someone has a solution, other than changing the Brwoser, please post :-)
greetings,
Michael

Really bad service, and I'm not even connected yet...

So I opted for a new fibre connection in my house. I had three months of poor connection speeds form plus-net, and although their service is very cheap , the lack of reliable connection eventually made me consider the change to bt.
I am lucky enough that the local phone network is being upgraded. So I booked online for BT tv/ infinity 2 fibre connection.
The first appointment was scheduled for the 12th of November. This was canceled by BT due to technical problems. Fair enough as they seem busy digging up the road and I understand this process can't always run to schedule. My wife had agreed to take the morning off work to let the engineer in but this was easily rearranged with BT for the 17th nov.
on the 16th now BT called to say that they had sent an engineer around two days before and that he could not get access to the property... Of course you can't get access if we are not in....make an appointment next time?
So we rang up to speak to BT they apologised and said the engineer would be there on the 17 th if we could be in. My wife rearranged her day to allow for the new appointment , stayed in the house , didn't get paid and had her time wasted. No engineer called. she spoke to BT who claimed the engineer had knocked , and phoned both mobile and house phone. Neither of my over zealous dogs or partner hear the engineer, and there is no record of the phone attempts on our devices.
I rang up to rebook and complain and was told the department was understaffed and not to ring at lunch time as everyone is out and the phones can't be answered. Also they can't rebook my appointment and that I would have to wait until December for my connection. Since I was at work in my lunch I couldn't really peruse the matter so I tried calling back after work. Unfortunately after wasting my effort navigating the phone system I was told then department was closed after 5.
So I can't call at lunch and your closed after 5 , you don't keep appointments , you make unscheduled appointments , the engineers lie and I have to wait another two weeks to get my service.
I thought paying a premier price would get me good service.
I'm deeply annoyed. I can imagine with your poor record so far that my complaints here will also go un-answered.
Please don't tell me your sorry. I want my appointment moved to a sooner date and I want a discount for having wasted my time and caucusing my wife to lose a days income.

E-Recruiting 6.0: Business Partner Role For Branches

Hi Experts,
In the IMG, SAP E-Recruiting > Basic Settings > Enterprise Structure > Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Can anyone help in the following:
1) What is the purpose of Business Partner Role and how does it relate the Branches? Or how can i make use of it?
2) If i am going to maintain the Company & Branches via the Administrator function instead of IMG, do I still need to configure this step: Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Thanks. Will reward points for any helpful tips.
William

Hello William,
the Business Partner is an application / module which belongs to the base components of the SAP. It is used and partly extended by various other applications / modules. Next to E-Recruiting it is used for example by CRM and the financial service solution (FS-CS, FS-PM, FS-RI). All of these modules can put their data for a person or an organization into the same tables. Depending on the installation / system environment or even within one single module the requirements for available fields and business checks as on authorization differ between kinds of business partners (e.g. in FS-CS the commission solution for the financial service sector knows external agents and internal employees which have to be treated differently). The business partner is the element to assign the logical / business role in which a person is handled by the system.
For E-Recruiting you have 2 kinds of business partners, too. On the one and there are people being candidates and on the other hand there are branches of your company which hire people. The configuration allows you to seperate them if you need to identify anywhen which business partner is a branch and which is a candidate. So far I never tried if this is really working as there is no real use for this I never set it up. The attributes and the business checks are the same anyways.
Hope that helps a bit to understand the context
Best Regards
Roman Weise
PS: please remember that you have to maintain the branches via administrator bsp application. Using the IMG entry won't work.

Really disappointed with the Macbook pro

Hi all,
I purchased a Macbook pro in the middle of January 2011 with some inheritance money. I went for the cheapest one - was going to go for the white macbook like my partner but thought it would be worth the extra money to upgrade to the pro. It was the first time i had made the move from PC to Mac, but was fairly familiar with the systems having owned an ipod touch for a while and my partner also having a macbook.
4 months on...and i have to say I am really really disappointed with my Macbook pro and certainly not worth over £1000 i paid for it. This is mainly because:
i find that after a while of watching movies (15 - 20 mins), the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it. I thought this was only the case on flash-based websites (like Youtube - although there is no problem on my partners basic macbook) so installed click2flash. I have since come to realise that it also happens whilst watching DVDs etc. I also thought it may be when the battery is low, but it happens even when it is plugged in. I cant understand how it happens on mine but not my partners even though my Pro is supposed to be a high spec (isnt it???)
I use Garageband and often record myself by mic input over the top of backing tracks that i import into the program. I have to record with no effects on my voice to begin with whatsoever , nor the backing track, and have to minimise the garageband window to the dock as when it is open and scrolling, i get the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time." error.
The other day, i noticed my macbook pro would not burn CD-Rs (both music Cds and MP3s) and later realised that i could burn anything up to 6 or so tracks (about 20-25 minutes worth of audio). After trawling the forums, trying slower burn speeds, different brands of CD-R and lens cleaning cds (which froze in my macbook) I still have a faulty disc drive. I have now discovered that the end tracks of some audio cds i have will not play so is obviously something wrong with the drive.
I'm very frustrated and can't help but wonder if maybe i should have just got a £500 windows laptop instead!
Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Are Apple Support good at dealing with stuff like this? Am i best calling and discussing over the phone or taking it in to a Genius bar? I have also ran all the latest software updates.
Thanks!
Tom

>the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it.
That's the fault of the video format you are viewing. It probably caches itself to the hard disk, and the sudden motion sensor gets triggered by the hard drive, if you give it any innertia. You could create a RAM Disk with any of a number of solutions you can Google.
And DVD drives don't like being bounced around.   See what I have to say about CD failure below too.   Anything can cause a disc to get unbalanced, and not play back right.   I would not attempt to play DVDs while the machine is in motion, as you can damage the DVD drive of any machine that is.
Garageband has its own forum here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/garageband where someone can tell you if there is a setting you missed to improve the recordings.
CD Burning is a menace throughout the industry because a lot of media is not very high quality. See my FAQ*:

Is it really a Partner?
