While I'm not based in England, I've seen a fair share of news stories this morning about the heat across the pond.According to an article from BBC:"The Met Office said a temperature of 36.2C (97.16F) had been recorded at Heathrow at 14:50 BST - the hottest UK temperature since 2006.A level 3 'heatwave action' heat-health alerthas been declared for all parts of England."And on a more personal note, my AC broke last night sooo looks like we're all dealing with our fair share of heat on this first day of July.My favorite way to cope with a high heat index? Finding AC... STAT. (Really need to get my apartment's AC fixed today...) But things like going to the movies, book stores, etc. can be a good escape from the high temperatures outdoors.What are some of your favorite ways to beat the heat?Stay cool UK SpiceHeads! :)

  • How do you cope with releases of your custom Portal Content (PCD Content)?

    Dear SDN Community,
    I'm very interested in how you cope with release management in the Portal (PCD).
    Where I'm focusing on is the release of a "project" trough your landscape (Dev, Test, QA, Prod)
    When starting a project you start with a new folder lets say "My Custom App" that contains all your content.
    Once done you transport to Test, QA and eventually Prod. Now the Content is in use and roles are assigned.
    Request for changes arive from the customer and eventually a new release need to be implemented.
    Offcourse you could then change/update the content in the initial folder and transport that to Test, QA again but you will not be able to fix incidents while creating the new release because objects maybe touched.
    I was thinking about a scenario where you create subfolders in your application folder, see example below:
    \ "My Custom App"
    |--- Release 1.0
    |--- Release 1.1
    |--- Release 2.0
    |--- Current
    You only do this on your Dev system. Everytime a Release is OK you put it in the "Current" folder and transport this to Prod.
    Using this you won't have to change the Role assignments in your different landscapes as they are always pointing to the "Current" folder. In addition this scenario enables you to provide Pilot rollouts to smaller groups parallel to the Major release.
    My question to you is to shoot on it and give your oppinion/feedback... where possible provide links to SAP document or best practices that describe this subject...
    Thnx in advance,
    Benjamin Houttuin

    Hi Bejamin,
    It is an interesting approach you describe and I see no reason it should not work.
    The only thing which can create some problems is that the object ID of roles must be unique. For example com.mycom.roles.roleA cannot exist in two separate folders in the PCD. For all other PCD objects it is the PCD ID which must be unique and this includes the folder prefix.
    In my experience, the most natural solution for this in large portal environments is to have both a version and a production line.
    The production line will be your standard sandbox, development, test/QA, production and the version line will consist of an development and test/QA systems.
    Long running projects for enhancements to existing functionality will be done in the version line, before being transported to the production line when ready for GoLive. This makes even more sense when you have version lines for backend systems your portal are using which are modified at the same time.
    Whilst the project is running, the production line can be used for changes to the current version, but it is important to note that all these changes have to be migrated into the version line in order to make sure they are not overwritten.
    Of course, a version line brings extra cost related to synchronization and similar, so it is not always it makes sense.
    Amit's two documents of large portal installations might be somewhat relevant:

  • Please help! How do you MMS with the Red BB Curve 8330m (4.5.0.131 software/f​irmware) on Sprint ?

    Greetings!!!
    I'm a newbie to BlackBerry devices but a long time user of cell phones and I have just one question which I hope isn't a difficult one to answer.  I don't know if I'm missing something here, but how do you send an picture or photo via MMS?  All I see in my message options is SMS text.
    I just got the new Red BB Curve 8330m with the 4.5.0.131 software/firmware from Sprint.
    I did a search here but didn't find an answer.
    TIA for any help here!

    No problem, if it wasn't for questions there wouldn't be forum, Right?
    So you checked the firewall, and you can receive, that means you have the application,
    Have you ever done a battery pull or sent service books since receiving the device?

  • TS1884 How do you cope with a system that shuts itself down after a safe boot progress bar is completed?

    How do you resolve a problem with a system that shuts itself down after a safe reboot and when the progress bar is completed? Thanks.

    Thanks for you response - the honest answer is I don't know, not being particularly IT literate. I do know however that I'm running Maverick if that is of any help?
    I also tried the Command R route, along with holding some other keys as per the Apple troubleshooting guide, but no luck. My wife pointed out though that the system was running slowly over the last few days and we had quite a lot of the 'spinning beach ball' before being able to undertake tasks.
    Lastly, I inserted my start up disk bit as the system is unable to start I'm now unable to retrieve it. All-in-all a real pain.
    Appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

  • How do we cope with the wretched performance of iphone4 with IOS 7.0.2. Before update it was working fine. Since, the text entry has 4 to 10 seconds buffered lag, and the impresssion is that the processor is overtaxed. Not at all acceptable for a compulso

    Since compelled to take the IOS 7.0.2 "upgrade" I experience 4 - 10 second delays in text inputting. The keystrokes are buffered then displayed. Other signs suggest the processor is under way too much load.
    I haev reduced the concurrent apps to 1. turned off location services, most notifications etc etc .
    It occurs like this on Twitter and FB, and IM and simple text messages.
    Clearly the software is too processor intensive for iPhone 4
    Will this be addressed?
    Are there more configurations I acn adopt to manage the overload?
    I think I ve turned everything off that I can without shutting down the 3G fundctions WiFi and phone.
    My smartphone has been rendered dumb by the Apple Core
    Needs fixing or I'll shop for a Samsung neXt

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persist back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • British Columbia BC users - how are you dealing with the PST Exemption for Youth Products?

    Hi BC Community,
    Reaching out to everyone and anyone to help with this.  Has anyone had any luck (in British Columbia) dealing with PST Exemption for Youth product? More specifically if a product has a full tax item (12%) and a Youth Exempt Item (5%) in the cart, at the same time.
    As you know, if you add to British Columbia Tax Codes (BC-12% and BC-5%) and you have product in your cart, like the above mentioned - the Destination State overrides any product level Tax Codes.
    Looking for some help with this one.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    I have multiple devices used by family members, how do you make sure the kids don't see Moms messages from Dad and visa versa?

    Hi Roger:
    Thanks for the reply.  I think I figured out the problem.  Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have.  In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID.  I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID.  There are Apple IDs with various attributes.  This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
    I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
    One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account.  That makes no sense to me.
    Thanks for your help!

  • HOW DO YOU GET TO THE RAID SETTINGS ON THIS THING (GT60 2O)???

    Dude... I been online for 40 minutes looking for instructions on how to get around this box. I can't find anything relevant, so I'm just gonna ask. How do you get to the settings for SUPER RAID 2? I can't find any information on it and now I'm really getting frustrated!! Any help would be appreciated.

    First go into your BIOS and set the controller to RAID instead of AHCI/IDE/whatever it is.
    You should then be able to use some key combination (such as ALT+H or whatever it is) to enter the Intel Raid ROM and setup the RAID in there.

  • How to delete podcasts with the iclould icon?

    How to delete podcasts with the iclould icon?

    That is discouraging.  However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast.  This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar).  As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself.  I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

  • How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar?

    How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar? the drop down boxes are really starting to annoy me!

    You can't turn off the suggestions in Safari, though you may be able to do that if you install Glims, which also offers some additional options that aren't available directly in Safari.
    Quit Safari before you install it, then restart and go to Preferences>Glims to setup your options.
    As for drop-down boxes, what exactly are you referring to?

    How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

    "BSOsoft".  You really ought to practice asking coherent questions.
    If I have downloaded the same app as you, I'd guess tapping the button called "Download All Pro - Click Here to Download" which is right at the top of the FAQ screen might be as good a guess as any.
