Is XHTML better option than BSP extensions?

Hi,
for some strange reason my project team wants to use XHTML for layout rather than any of the existing BSP extensions...the reason being the HTMLB does not generate XHTML in the back-end or something like that. Is anyone aware of any such lackings in BSP extensions that we have? Are there any alternatives with in BSP extensions? I want to convince the team to use standard BSP extensions...
Thanks
Kiran

Ahha... I have just seen as I logged on this...
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/ibm">IBM integration area or somesuch</a>
but I dont think it is going to have what you are looking for. I have had some experience with itegrating output from BSP into a Websphere portal and it wasnt that much fun. We used iframes to host the bsp application in portal which wasnt ideal. This was only for a prototype of a large application and the full blown applicaion would have probably used websphere making bapi calls to get the info from sap. One option was using EP between BSP and WebSphere but this is probably not an option due to budget constraints.
This isn't a great deal of help but hopefully it is food for thought.

Better options than DAVE for Win NT connection?

I work for a small Mac design group in a large business environment. We store Quark, InDesign, Photoshop files on the companies Win NT Server. To do this they have installed DAVE because they said just using OS X's PC connect ability was causing the documents to be looked at as .exe or unrecognizable files by the Mac. Lately some files are giving I/O errors on the server and getting corrupted. Is there a better option for communicating with a PC server than DAVE?

For just using OS X, I've never heard of any problems like that; I'm wondering if they're just confused? Or are they using a fairly fancy, unusual setup of some sort? Has anyone tried just connecting with the standard Mac feature?; I would be curious to hear what breaks (since if something does break, it probably implies that someone either misconfigured the Macs or misconfigured the server).
For the files in question: Are you able to access these files from a Windows computer?; can you read them there? I'm wondering if the IO error was a network problem (that DAVE might have a connection to), or just that their server's hard disk is failing.

Is a PowerMac G5 2.4 Dual Chip (used) a better option than an iMac?

Hi Guys
I'm still reasonably new to Macs, and I am really more of a music person than a computer person (which is frustrating at times!!).
I am looking at selling my iMac 2.4GHz (4GB RAM) and replacing it with a current iMac 2.66GHz, because the new iMacs can handle 8GB of RAM, which would really help me run BFD2 with less problems.
But I noticed this on eBay:
APPLE POWERMAC G5 2.3 GHZ DUAL CHIP-240gb HD-1.5 gb RAM (eBay item 230346540784) - would this be a better choice than going with a new iMac?
I don't even know if this one is Quad Core. My knowledge of Mac Pros is zero! But I do know a lot of people go for them over iMacs, and even suggest getting a second hand Mac Pro in preference to a new iMac if it's for music.
Could someone help out and tell me if the above machine is a better bet than going for a new iMac?
Thanks heaps,
Mike

i dont have any evidence to prove this, but i would think that your iMac would run circles around the much older power mac G5 system.
a mac pro would be a diff story. mac pros are the 'new' version of the power macs now running intel chips.

Is there a better option than spark VideoDisplay with AV syncing capabilities

We have developed an AIR application that involves syncing multiple audio tracks with a video track. We are using the Spark VideoDisplay component for video and the Flash SoundChannel object for audio. We are having trouble keeping the audio synced with the video. Is there a better component to use for this? Is there some technique to keeping audio and video synced in Flash/AIR?

Andrea,
Your sample does not look like being »foot-intensive«, I only find two footnotes. And those will not be a problem for FrameMaker.
For 2-column text layout FrameMaker (as InDesign) gives you the option to create one text frame set to have two columns, or create two connected text frames, each of them one column. To keep the footnote in the original column, you would use the latter method. More information can be found in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS6C3D24E6-2965-48bb-B6CF-50D1439AEB01.html
Regarding other elements of the sample pages I don’t see any stumbling blocks. Just be aware that the general approach to layout, and especially when using XML-structured documents, is completely different from InDesign. With InDesign you just move all the frames wherever and whenever you want. With FrameMaker you plan ahead, create master pages and paragraph styles and then follow this original design. Creating layout changes »on the fly« is just not the way you work in FrameMaker. But this limitation is the reason for a higher layout consistency.

Better option than array[][]?

Is there a better(faster) option, I'm thinking something from Collections, for working with multideminsional problems where a double array is typically used? Or should I stick with imbedded for loops and double arrays.

For Clarification:
int[][] myArray = new int[100][100];
for(int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < myArray.length; j++){
myArray[i][j] = (int)(Math.random() * 20);

Is Framemaker a better option than InDesign for footnote-intensive reports?

We currently used InDesign to layout our reports and briefings, and are exploring it's XML capabilities with a view to output in multiple formats: high-res PDFs, web pages within our CMS, and e-Pubs. We are unable to tag our hyperlinked footnotes for XML output in InDesign, and wondered if Framemaker would be a better tool. Our layouts are in colour, in a 2-column format, contain charts and tables and occasional exhibits, and we adhere to a strict template with both paragraph and character styles.
Any direction or insights would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrea

Only use a computer for email, internet, basic computing. Is the ipad a better option than a macbook?

Used to have a macbook, bought it back in '07, had to sell it shortly thereafter.
Don't have a computer now and need one.
Looking over the macbook pro, I am wondering if it is too much computer for me.
I use a computer for emails, surfing the web and twitter.
I'm wondering if the ipad would be a better fit, or if I should be looking for a computer.
Thanks.

MacBook air just perfect i have an iPad 2 ( I know it's an old one but it is almost same ) i mostly need pc for stuff and normally I like to download movies for that I need a good memory which you won't get on an iPad best choice for you is a 11 or 13 inch MacBook air iPad is bettween comp and a phone it is good but not enought ( altleast for me ) if you take an iPad u won't the benefits of downloading zip files and many other files but with a MacBook you can do it as it supports all iPad is good for presenting stuff good for reading books , web pages are good too ( flash is not there so some sites are not good ) editing word docs or slidshows are nice and easy but not fully usefull ( simple editing options) if you convert the files say into doc it gets messy on a comp to see , plus doc files with lots of stuff like photos and tables gets messed up but if we convert to PDF then you get a nice experience , MacBook has many options in pages , numbers , keynote , you will like an iPad even I like it but like u even I am looking for a MacBook right now as I need to back up files and download movies anyways it decides unto u so go to the apple shop he will help u choice the right choice a person here will only tell good stuff and suggest what he likes but if you go to the apple store he will give you the perfect choice for u

Is there any better option than this slow query?

Hi all,
i want to find out lets say Ticekt no range from Variable1 - Variable 2, are all ready existed or missing from my ticket master table which is having a million records and the no grows timely.
For example i want to find out in range 30000 - 50000
if any missings it should give missing number are
34567
45678 etc . etc.
i wrote a for.. loop and im checking one bye one from ticket master table using select count(*) from ticket_master where ticket_no = var, which is time consuming and server becoming slow when i issue this query. my ticket master ticket_no is indexed.
any better idea advise please..

I am not sure I understand your problem correctly.
Here are some test datas:
create table ticket_masters ( ticket_no number) ;
exec for i in 1..1000 loop insert into ticket_masters values (round(i/0.97)); end loop
select 200-1+rownum missing from ticket_masters where rownum<=300-200
minus
select ticket_no from ticket_masters where ticket_no between 200 and 300
 MISSING
 217
 250
 283i am select rownum from ticket_masters, but I could select from anything actually, a pl/sql table, dual group by cube(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1), all_objects, ...
Could you please do a desc ticket_masters to show me your datatype and also select a few ticket_no

When traveling to europe would icloud be an advantage re Itunes and music. or would spotify be a better option? iclo

when travelling abroad would spotify be a better option than icloud?

This might be of interest, seems apple are encouraging the record companies to improve their source files for submission to the itunes store. Any improvement in audio quality is to be welcomed.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/mastered-for-itunes/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5156?viewlocale=en_US
The mastered for itunes document in the first link contains a comment about keeping the highest quality masters in our systems will allow for future improvements to your music.
Was reading a couple of online blogs abut this and most people appear to be positive about the improvements, I had a listen and compared some previous CD against the same track in the mastered for itunes list and its appears to be an improvement (using Grado Labs SR80 phones not white ear buds), more open sounding.
Some CDs mastered years ago are very poor and even some recent ones are poorly mastered (loudness, bright) suppose it depends on the care put in at source that counts.

Is the BSP extension better than this solution(Text and Image in Button)?

Hi guys,
I have a concept question to decide whether a BSP extension is needed.
I want to put text and image in htmlb button, and used the solution like below:
<%
data image type ref to cl_htmlb_image.
data: image_string type string.
create object image.
image->id = 'back'.
image->src = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( id = '@9S@' ).
image->tooltip = 'Go back'.
clear image_string.
image_string = image->IF_BSP_BEE~RENDER_TO_STRING( page_context ).
 %>
 <xhtmlb:toolbarButton id = "back"
 onClick = "back"
 text = "<%= image_string %>" />
But this solution is not desired by customer, since they don't think it looks nice. So is it possible to create my own BSP extension to get a nicer element?
Thanks for any hint.
Regards,
Liying

Hi,
By a nicer element...did you mean to display a better image...or a nicer image ????
if yes, the you can upload any image you need and then use it here...
Tell me if you need more information...!!
Hope this helps.
Do reward each useful answer..!

How to add new UI(buttons,checkbox) item in preexisting option dialog and extension in indesign?

I want to add new UI item in preexisting option dialog and Extension what i have to do ??
eg:if i select interactivity sub menu item in object menu than I select change to button and in this dialog I want add new menu with the add to object menu(at the bottom) or new input text field .
for doing such is there any api available to access there inbuilt dialog or panel or any scripting solution ??

This doesn't look possible. To define a Dialog or a panel, you need to add the resource definitions of the required widgets to the resource definition of the Dialog/Panel. Duplication of a resouce gives errors on compilation. I might be wrong as I'm new to plug-in developemnt, but most likely this will not be possible.

How to create an link to an BSP-Extension in documentation

Hello everybody,
I've got an perhaps easy question. I want to create an link in my documentation to the documentation of an BSP-Extension (for example <htmlb:inputField>) Is here someone who can tell me the best way to do this?
If I use the function to insert links in docus, I don't find a Documentation Class that fits.
I already looked to the docu of the BSP-Extension (in edit-mode) and see, that say use the function "Internet Service" but it don't run.
What's to do?
Thanks for help.
Bye Matthias

Hi Matthias,
just go into your document e.g. via se61, in edit mode and do the following: Enter this link syntax:
<DS:IS.HTMLB INPUTFIELD>inputfield</>
Please note that IS is the technical name of the BSP-Extension objects, then comes the name of the extension itself, in this example it's htmlb, followed by several blanks (they are part of the name and thus very important) and then the name of the element in capital letters.
You can find this technical name of an existing docu object if you are in the SAPscript editor and select Extras -> Information -> For document.
Instead of using the syntax for links directly (i.e. <DS:IS:Extension-name followed by blanks and extension itself>name</>) you can also use this function in the SAPscript editor for long texts:
Insert -> Link, then choose document class BSP-Extension-Object via F4 and enter the name of the extension, the extension element and the text to be displayed in the document. However, this document class is not always visible via F4, so you'd better use the direct link syntax mentioned above to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Heidi

BSP Extensions: method implementation

Hello together,
I am currently trying to implement custom BSP Extensions (taglibs). Almost everything works, I can use my element, it is also shown in the Tag browser in SE80, but I really have no idea on how to implement the rendering.
The documentation exactly leaves out the part on how to actually draw the custom HTML, I can only find info on how to manipulate the element's given content within the BSP. So far, I have overriden (redefined?) the methods DO_AT_BEGINNING and DO_AT_END and somewhere I found that M_OUT attrib. When calling m_out->print_string( 'Hello' ), nothing happens
Has anyone some example coding on how to do the actual drawing of the component? I have taken a look on the standard BSP extensions in HTMLB (like button and so), but could nowhere find the actual rendering stuff.
Please help me
Thanks in advance for any hints or samples.
Greetings, Timo

Let me answer for you the final part of the puzzle.
You write:
<% extension ...%>, the elements got printed, otherwise
When we have a BSP page, we can have actually XML on the page. So the pre-processor sees something such as this:
<myLib:myTag a1 = "v1">
</myLib:myTag>
It is going to say, aha, here we have some nice XML code coming down the pipe. Good for you. This XML is now placed as a string (what more is XML than a string?) and send to the browser. So if you do a view source in the browser, you should see your XML.
In summary, we aim to please, and XML is high on our list things we like.
So what is a man to do? You must write onto the page:
<%@extension name="myFirstLib" prefix="myLib"%>
This line the pre-compiler eats. And then after a moment of silence, it accepts that you don't like XML. Anything that now just looks like "<myLib:*>" is immediately understood to be a tag. Thus the compiler is informed, and it will generate the correct ABAP code to call this tag.
And this pre-compiler believes in perfection: mylib is NOT equal to myLib. It is case sensitive!
In summary: one slip of the finger, and you tag gets seen as XML and rendered out as raw string.
(With a syntax check step, and not a compile step, you will also get a warning about this. Just to be a little helpful.)

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?
