Japanese Input Help

Hi everyone, I'm a new convert and I love it but I'm having trouble with Japanese input.
When working I have to constantly switch between English, hiragana, and katakana. With windows I used alt ~ to switch between romaji and hiragana, then I would use f7 to convert the most recent word to katakana.
For OS X I have a working non-ideal solution, I removed everything but hiragana and english. I can flip between them easily now, however, that creates the problem of katakana. If I add katakana to the input menu then it makes flipping between english and hiragana a lot more annoying considering the frequency. That and having to add/remove Chinese when I occasionally need it is a pain.
I'm not trying to nitpick, and this wouldn't be that big a deal if I didn't have to flip about 50 - 100 times a day.

For OS X I have a working non-ideal solution, I
removed everything but hiragana and english. I can
flip between them easily now, however, that creates
the problem of katakana. If I add katakana to the
input menu then it makes flipping between english and
hiragana a lot more annoying considering the
frequency. That and having to add/remove Chinese when
I occasionally need it is a pain.
Have you looked at the Transliterate options which have keyboard shortcuts and which appear at the bottom of the "flag" menu when Hiragana is active? I don't know if these do what you want for Katakana.
You might also want to ask in the Apple Japanese forums, a link to which is at the bottom of this page:

[SOLVED] Japanese Input using IBus/Mozc

Good day,
Recently, I finally managed to install Arch (phew!)
As the title suggests, I need to frequently use Japanese Input. I've tried Anthy, however, the prediction is bad and the dictionaries are lacking.
Then I've found mozc (successfully utilized on Mint and Manjaro before) along with IBus , which worked really great!
Running mozc successfully on Arch has been a series of unsuccessful attempts so far. I have browsed tons of pages about people having similar problems, none of the given solutions seem to work for me.
This is what I've done so far:
1. After installation of Arch, I installed Cinnamon and GDM.
2. I've followed IBus installation page. Installed ibus + ibus-qt packages, then installed mozc through yaourt.
3. Put the lines below to ~/.xprofile (Note: .xprofile didn't exist in the first place, so I created it).
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
ibus-daemon -drx
and in ~/.bashrc
ibus-daemon -drx
5. Ran qtconfig-qt4, under the "Interface" tab, set ibus as default.
6. In /usr/bin/skype, I put the line below.
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
7. Installed a set of Japanese fonts.
8. Finally, added the Japanese input -> mozc to my IBus input methods.
At this point, Japanese input is supposed to work after a relog. I decided to reboot, though, just for safety.
Yes, IBus did autostart. The tray icon would soon disappear for no reason. After restarting Cinnamon, it would magically re-appear and work with inputs like English/Polish properly. Japanese, too, albeit, not with the desired results.
First of all, the typed text in Japanese will not appear unless I press enter in applications like Firefox, Leafpad, LibreOffice. That is not the desired behavior of a Japanese Input Method Editor. Back on Mint/Manjaro the text would appear instantly, that's how it's supposed to behave.
I use Skype extensively, and the Japanese input doesn't seem to work there at all, even after putting the export line into /usr/bin/skype.
I was hoping somebody here would be able to help me. Thank you in advance!

Hello,
I went with the suggestion of using fcitx instead of IBus. I once again decided to follow the fcitx Arch Wiki thoroughly. Here's what I've done:
I've installed fcitx-im and fcitx-mozc packages. Before that, I completely removed IBus.
I put this in my ~/.xprofile and ~/.profile
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
After that, I configured my fcitx, and added mozc as my layout for Japanese.
Ran this command, too since Gnome apparently tries its best to break other IMEs.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false
Fcitx seemed much, much better than IBus. It's faster and more responsive, however, the Skype lament still persisted, so I decided to test out one more thing, which has caught my eye whenever I ran an application through the console. The error message was saying something about 'falling back to the "C" locale', so I went way back to the "locale" Arch Wiki article, only to find out, that inside my /etc/locale.gen, I had only one US locale. On top of that, the US locale in locale.gen was different than the US locale in /etc/locale.conf.
A silly, yet, overlooked mistake.
After uncommenting my locale, generating a new one and rebooting my system, Skype finally came back to life, and I was able to type Japanese inside its text field.
Thank you again for your input! This case is solved.

Hi,
I have an iBook G3 with the latest version of 10.3 on it. Suddenly, the system has become very slow, and the Japanese input has stopped working.

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,

I defaulted input help field (pick list) but SAP CRM still asking for one

We are running SAP CRM 7.0.
Some fields as you know are dialog / pick list fields.
What I mean by this is they are input help fields where you
can click a little square (in sap crm 7.0) to the right of the text box
and it brings up a dialog screen of values that you can select from.
Here is an example screen shot of what I am talking about:
http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5676/imageschak.png
So what I have done is implemented the GETTER function for this input help field so that by default it has a value.
The code is like so:
method GET_CURRENCY.
CALL METHOD SUPER->GET_CURRENCY
EXPORTING
    ATTRIBUTE_PATH = attribute_path
   ITERATOR       = iterator
RECEIVING
    VALUE          = value.
      if value eq ''.
        IF sy-langu EQ 'E'.
          VALUE = 'USD'.
        elseif sy-langu EQ 'D'.
          VALUE = 'EUR'.
        ENDIF.
      endif.
endmethod.
Here even is a link to this method that I created: Field Currency of Context Node BTADMINH - How to set default
The method works great it sets the default of the currency to say USD. When I click the create button to create an opportunity the field currency is set to USD, this is great because it makes my job easier that I dont have to click the input help button and select a currency, it is already there.
But once I click the "Save" button for an opportunity I get a small error in the error notification box that tells me I need to select a currency! But why is this happening a currency already exists? So If I click the input help (the little button) and reselect the currency value USD then save my opportunity this error goes away.
The question is why does this happen? I need it so that the default currency value is recognized by the SAP CRM system. Why do I have to go back in and re-select the currency if it is already set? Is there some sort of consistency check or something I need to do to eliminate this problem?
Here is a screen shot after creating an opportunity with the default Currency set to USD (this means I did not select USD in the dialog input help it was defaulted by the getter method:
http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3011/enteracurrency.png
Only if I go back into edit mode and actually click the little square to bring up the dialog of values and select USD does this error go away. Why does this happen ?

I called SET_CURRENCY right after setting my value and the error is now gone.
SET_CURRENCY( EXPORTING ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ATTRIBUTE_PATH
                iterator = iterator
                value = value ).
Got the tip from Pieter who has a good blog on SAP CRM: http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/

Passing parameter to an Input Help Component

Hi ,
Someone knows a way to pass parameters or any value to an Input Help Component that is built in a separate WDP application ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Baskaran,
I have a WDP component that implements "".
Then, i use it as search help (F4 function) for an input field in another WDP component.
I would like to use the same " search help component " for many input fields.
In this purpose, I would like to pass a parameter to specify the caller input field.
So, do you know a way to pass parameters to "the search help component" ?
Here is the tutorial that i followed, for the first part.

Problem with Input help inside an adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
I'm currently implementing a Webdynpro ABAP application containing a Interactive forms.
I'm using Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat reader 9.2, Internet Explorer 7.0
My problem is that when I click on the "input help" button inside the adobe form, he automatically refresh all the forms UI element with their initial values. Is-it a refresh event included when we pressed the "Input help" button or an other event? How Can I deactivate that action, event?
Because since he automatically refresh my form data I loose the context current values.
Thanks in advance,
Louis

strange, but you could compare the version of the zci scripting
in your form in the hierarchy tab there are variables and the ContainerFoundation_JS script --> the first line
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - ContainerFoundation_JS gives you the requested information about the scripting version...have a look at this version...

perhaps this note helps:
Note 999998 - Analyzing errors with Adobe Integration of Web Dynpro ABAP
--> for debugging!
A client debug function is available as of SAP NetWeaver Release 7.00 Support Package 19 (or after you implement Note 1287114) and for all Enhancement Packages. Activate this client debug function using the URL parameter "sap-wd-clientDebug=X" (attach it to the URL using "&"). You can then activate the client trace using the key combination <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT>T (move the focus to a Web Dynpro UI element, for example, to an InputField, do NOT move the focus to Adobe Reader). The system opens a new browser window with the trace output. The trace may contain an error entry ("Network Error", and so on). The URL also activates the Adobe document services (ADS) trace. The trace outputs of the ADS are copied to the generated PDF document as an attachment. Open the file "Error.pdf" of the ADS trace: Form errors (for example, script errors) are listed there.

Input help not showing up for columns in CATS regular application

I am using standard iView Time Entry in ESS available in EP7 ECC6.0.
the issue I am having is that there is no popup (input help) for columns 'Reason Code', 'Region' and 'OT Rsn'. But if I go into ECC6.0 t-code CAT2, the popups are available.
Any idea what may be causing this issue?
Tiberiu

Suresh is right, You need to build your own search help with above table and implement the class
ie CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP* in se24

PA30 - Personnel Number field greyed out - No input help available.

Hi Experts,
In our System in DEV, & Quality in PA30, we are unable to select employees either by directly giving the number (greyed out) or by selecting through F4 (No input help is available).
But in Production System we can directly give Pernr or select through F4.
Any body tell me what is the reason behind this.
Thanks in advance.
Samanvita.

Hi Hariprasath,
It is not the issue with NUMKR, The number Ranges are already maintained, and are defaulted in NUMKR feature.
This is showing same in DEV / QA/ Prod.
Issue is in DEV / QA, The Personnel Number Field is Greyed out, and not able to select any number.
For that we are going to PA20, open the personnel number first, and open PA30 in another window, then we are changing the data of the employee.
But we want to give Personnel Number in PA30 itself as per SAP Standard.
Any Idea, why it is like this.
Thanks,
Samanvita
