JDK - Time configuration for France

Hi!
I'm using GregorianCalendar class to get current date and time like above:
GregorianCalendar today = new GregorianCalendar();
I'm located in Paris and the time I get is automatically converted to Greenwich Mean Time (so one hour less than the one on my server!). I found I had to specify a TimeZone to let it work properly:
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Paris"). But I have to make lots of changes in my aplpication...
So: Is there a way to configure directly JDK to get the same result?
Thanks for all answers.
Florent.

Your code should be producing the correct results.
The JavaDoc for GregorianCalendar state that the default constructor produces a Calendar with the default Locale and TimeZone. The default Locale and TimeZones are those supplied by your system ( your Server ).
I would suggest you check that your server has its Locale and Timezones correctly set.
This is a common problem, especially on Linux/Unix servers where this sort of setup is often overlooked after installation.

Hi Praveen
Rec Type for Variance transactions is already fixed i.e. C and cant be changed....
You can use Z rec types in KE21N for manual postings/adjustments.... Or during external data transfer
If you can be specific on your requirement, we can discuss further using Exit COPA0002 or 0005... But for standard transactions, you cant change the rec types

How to configure time synchronization for two NTP servers

We have IOSXR 4.2.1 on routers CRS3 and ASR9K with all recomended SMUs; we need to configure the time synchronization for two NTP servers with the configuration below, but the routers became unstable; synchronize with one NTP servers for some time, then switch to other NTP server, and keep doing this. Anyone know why this behavior?

Hi Claudio, that ddts is pretty generic to be honest but yes it is filed to address sync issues in the XR NTP algo.
The thing is that XR ntp clock selection is a bit different then iOS and follows the specs very closely which results in this erroneous loss behavior.
For instance, you could also see this issue with a sync loss if the update time is only 500msec off what it was before and that will result in a ntp sync loss rather then adjusting to it.
Also I wanted to mention that the ntp prefer is a bit of a misnomer in XR (since it follows the specs differently then IOS) and this knob was taken over from IOS really.
You might get some joy if you set it to one server only and see if that helps?

How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
Thanks!

Indices configuration for XML document analysis (indexing time problems)

Hi all,
I'm currently developing a tool for XML Document analysis using XQuery. We have a need to analyse the content of a large CMS dump, so I am adding all documents to a berkeley DB xml to be able to run xqueries against it.
In my last run I've been running to indexing speed problems, with single documents (typically 10-20 K in size) taking around 20 sec to be added to the database after 6000 documents (I've got around 20000 in total). The time needed for adding docs to the database drops with the number of documents.
I suspect my index configuration to be the reason for this performance drop. Indeed, I've been very generous with indexes, as we have to analyse the data and don't know the structure in advance.
Currently my index configuration includes:
- 2 default indicess: edge-element-presence-none and edge-attribute-presence-none to be able to speed up every possible xquery to analyse data patterns: ex. collection()//table//p[contains(.,'help')]
- 8 edge-attribute-substring-string indices on attributes we use often (id, value, name, ...)
- 1 edge-element-substring-string index on the root element of the xml documents to be able to speed up document searches: ex. collection()//page[contains(.,'help')]
So here my questions:
- Are there any possible performance optimisations in Database config (not index config)? I only set the following:
setTransactional(false);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*64);
envConf.setCacheMax(1024*256);
- How can I test various index configuration on the fly? Are there any db tools that allow to set/remove indexes?
- Is my index config suspect? ;-)
Greetings,
Nils

Hi Nils,
The edge-element-substring-string index on the document element is almost certainly the cause of the slow document inserts - that's really not a good idea. Substring indexes are used to optimize "=", contains(), starts-with() and ends-with() when they are applied to the named element that has the substring index, so I don't think that index will do what you want it to.

No.. the TC cannot be partitioned.. and it is very poor for file storage.

Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

I know that theres a format of file for France : IDWTFILE_FR_DAS2
But is it possible to use it with SAP4.6c version ?
And how can I install this file format for France (steps in customizing , ossnote to apply ?????)
Thanks a lot for any answer

Dear Merlino,
I have some steps about withholding tax is it suitable or not find out but some scenarios is suitable kindlay check out
Hi
Withholding tax is calculated and posted to the appropriate withholding tax accounts at different stages, depending on the legal requirements in each country. As a rule, withholding tax is posted at the same time that the payment is posted, in other words the outgoing payment (Accounts Payable) or incoming payment (Accounts Receivable), is reduced by the withholding tax amount.
In certain countries, such as Brazil, the Philippines, and Spain, withholding tax can or must be posted when the invoice is posted. This means that the amount receivable or payable is reduced by the withholding tax amount.
Extended withholding tax supports both concepts.
The key concept in extended withholding tax is the distinction between withholding tax type and withholding tax code. While withholding tax types represent basic calculation rules, specific features of these rules - in particular the percentage rate -
are represented by the withholding tax code. You can define any number of withholding tax codes for a given withholding tax type.
If a particular transaction requires more than one kind of withholding tax, this is covered in the SAP System by defining more than one withholding tax type.
When entering a line item, you can enter withholding tax data for each of these withholding tax types.
How To Configure Withholding Tax?
Steps for extended withholding tax :
1. Check withholding tax countries
2. Define Ex. Withholding tax types for invoice postings
3. Define Ex. Withholding tax codes
4. Formula for Ex. Withholding tax calculation
5. Assign Ex. Withholding tax types to Company code
6. Activate Ex. Withholding tax
8. Create a G/L a/C for Ex. Withholding tax
9. Define A/C for Ex. Withholding tax (DBWW)
10. Make changes in Vendor master (XK02)
11. Maintain Company Code Settings:
Path: IMG -> Logistic -> General -> Taxes on goods movement -> India -> Maintain company code settings
12. Activate country version for specific fiscal year position
Path: IMG -> FA -> -> **** -> Taxes on sales purchases -> Basic Setting -> India -> Activate country specific for fiscal year position

How to have Multiple Configurations for a Flex Application

Hi All,
I've seen this question asked in various forms multiple times, but never answered: How do you set up a FLEX configuration to have different configurations for development (local), test server, staging server, beta server, and production server? I cannot imagine that Adobe has not accounted for this, something that is very standard in most development teams. Zend Framework has a very elegant solution for this: in the configuration file you define all aspects that can be configured, as well as the various environments (development, staging, beta, live, etc.). Then, in the bootstrap file you specify which environment you want to work in, and you're all set.
How can something like this be achieved in FLEX?
Many thanks!
-Mike

Maybe my setup is unconventional, I doubt it, though:
1) SVN repo stores FLEX and PHP codebases in separate projects.
2) Developer gets code from repo, and runs on local machine. -> need to configure FLEX to point to local PHP code here for Remote Objects.
3) Developer then publishes Flex app to staging server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to staging PHP code here.
4) Flex app then gets published to live server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to live PHP code here.
Now, using ANT, the scenario would look like this:
1) SVN repo stores FLEX and PHP codebases in separate projects.
2) Developer gets code from repo, and runs on local machine. -> need to configure FLEX to point to local PHP code here for Remote Objects.
3) Code is good and developer checks it back into SVN.
4) ANT extracts latest build from SVN and builds it, then publishes to staging server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to staging PHP code.
I am using PHPUnderControl as my build server for PHP.
I am also unclear as to how my goal could be achieved using ANT?
Thanks!

How to show the processing time taken for a BPEL process in BAM report.

Hi All,
I have the data as below in the Data object. I would like to show the time taken for each order to complete in the report.
instance Id     order Id     product Name     product Code     price     status     instance Time      updaterName
1360010     ord004     Guitar     prod003     2000     requested     9/22/2008 12:12:11 PM     Invoke_InsertSalesOrder
1360010     ord004     Guitar     prod003     2000     Approved     9/22/2008 12:15:11 PM     Invoke_OrderStatusUpdate
This data comes from simple BPEL process where sensors are configured at the start and end of BPEL process. Also have a human task activity in between to create the time difference.
In Enterprise link design studio, I tried to calculate the time difference using expression calculator and store it as calculated field. But that doesn't seems to work because when I execute the plan, second sensor data reaches only after human approval whereas first sensor data would be waiting for calculation and ultimately nothing comes into data object.
How and where the calculation be done to show the processing time in the report. Please someone throw some light on this.
Regards
Jude.
Edited by: user600726 on Sep 30, 2008 1:30 AM

I would suggest modifying your data object so that the data can all be in a single row and use the sensor at the end of the process to upsert (update) the row created by the sensor at the start of the process. The time difference between two fields in the same row is then an easy calculation on a BAM report -- No EL plan should be needed.

Is it possible to run TWO parellel configurations for one Object??

SAP Gurus,
We have a strange requirement from the client to have to configurations established in the system for one configuration object.
Without taking much of your time let me paraphrase the requirements.
The client is having two different types of putaway strategies in their current business process. And they toggle between these putaway strategies by reaching out to their production support group and they make configuration changes to have the other put away strategy
One Step Putaway: GR area --> High Rack Storage
Two Step Putaway: GR area --> Interim storage (area at the end of each aisle of high rack storage) --> High Rack
Client wants to have two parallel configurations for both of these put away strategies and needs an ability to switch from one to another. This switching ability should be accessed from SAP screen without any IT intervention (no configuration)
- Switching ability should allow the warehouse manager to change from one step to two step put away strategies without any IT intervention.
- Switching ability should be accessed my SAP Screen (Z-transaction or something with a radio button to toggle around)
Is it possible to have two configuration made for Putaway Strategies and switch them on/off depending on the warehouse needs??
Your invaluable feedback on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks again folks,
Dhaval

Q1--I don't believe it is possible. An organization can have multiple licenses tied to its main email address, for example, but then they are assigned to the individual users.
Q2--Yes, you would just need to log out of your account within the CC desktop app prior to logging in on the other account.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Getting SPWeb.CurrentUser as null with Windows Authentication (AD), when configured for Claims Authentication

Hi All,
We recently migrated to SP 2013 from SP 2010. We are using most of the OOB features, with a few custom code. We have implemented a custom ASP.NET Membership Provider that authenticates against a web service. This was working fine on SP 2010.
The entire code base was migrated to SP 2013 (with .net fw 4.5, etc) and any issues Compile / Runtime were fixed. However, we are stuck at one bug, which seems to be occuring only while trying to login with Windows Authentication. When a user tries to login
with Forms Authentication, the error is never noticed.
Scenrio: Login as Windows Authentiction.
Result: The user is signed into the system and is authenticated against the AD. For random page loads - it throws access denied (even though he is a site collection admin). While attaching a debugger, we found that, at times the SPWeb.CurrentUser is null (weird).
At the same time, the HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated returns true. Which means the User is Authenticated, but not available in the SPWeb.CurrentUser object.
Attached are couple of ULS Logs that we found. The line which says IsAuthenticated=True, UserIdentityName=, ClaimsCount=0 is a little disturbing. Can you please let me know what is happening here? I am not able to access the root site (http://win2012d2:1234/)
however, i am able to access (http://win2012d2:1234/SitePages/Home.aspx) just fine, without any issues.

Hi Mohamed,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when users login with Windows Authentication.
From the error message, I recommend to check if the anonymous access is enabled for the web application.
And please also make sure that the users all are available and have permission to access the site.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Best regards.

Setting up Time Capsule for backup only on existing wireless network

I have a wireless network already set up with a NetGear wireless router. Cable plugs into router, router connected via ethernet cable to my Power Mac G5 desktop, plus 2 PC laptops in the house also connect wirelessly to the home network via this router.
I want to set up Time Capsule as an external hard drive to back up all three computers -- I don't necessarily need to use it as a wireless router although i'm not opposed to that if it's easier to do it that way.
When i try to set it up using AirPort utility, i get the amber flashing light. Airport utility is able to discover the device, and then always asks if it's OK to switch networks. I've tried both "switch" and "don't switch"; either way when i try to set it up, AirPort utility stalls out on "Reading Time Capsule Configuration"; eventually giving me the error msg: "Base Station Error: AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device."
All i want to do is mount it as an external hard drive so i can use Time Machine for backup, and be able to use it to also back up the PC laptops wirelessly. I need help in the following three areas:
1. How should I be physically connecting my devices if i want to do this? Which cables go in which ports? There is only one ethernet port on the back of my G5. The G5 can connect to the router either wirelessly OR via ethernet cable. I've tried G5-->Time Capsule-->Router, G5-->Router-->Time Capsule, Router-->G5 PLUS Router-->Time Capsule, and I've tried every variation on the regular ethernet and WAN ports. What's the right way to do this.
2. If i'm not setting up the TC as a Wireless Router, is AirPort utility even the right tool for setting it up? it seems to be confused by the two wireless networks and won't let me get past that point. Am I supposed to click "Switch" when it asks me to switch networks? Is there a way to just mount it as an external drive and bypass the AirPort utility setup entirely?
3. Once i get it set up so it's visible as an external drive and usable for Time Machine backup, how do i then make it available to the other PCs on the network so they can back up to it also?
Thanks for your help.

sarah,
You already have an existing wireless network.
You do not need to plug the Time Capsule into anything except power.
Set the Time Capsule to "Join an existing wireless network"...
That is all you need to do.
Then all the computers should see the Time Capsule.
If you can't see "Join an existing wireless network" in the choices, hold down on the option key and then click on the choices.
Give that a try.
