Learning to use SPP
Hi all, I have been working with and delivering training on SAP for 8 years now (out of 30+ years total as a trainer, training manager and consultant) but despite having used a variety of other tools and methods have never worked for a client with the productivity pak. Now I have been approached by one who does use it and wondered if there are any resources available to learn to use the pak.
Thanks in advance for any help

Need Recommendation of Online Sources in Learning to Use the Relational DBs
Please recommend some online sources in learning to use the relational databases; such as the ways relational databases are different from flat files, how to retrieve data from relational database tables. Thank you.
Actually I figured the OP was looking for a source that would instruct one in building ones own database rather than using an existing one.
Myself I would just buy a book (or read the one I already have.) I wouldn't expect to find to many sources like that online althoug one might find some college course materials for a class. -
I am learning Italian using a CD in iTunes. Is it possible to play a track at a slower speed to hear better what is being said?
Right, I understand those fundamentals. We outsource a lot of out view creation and do not have permission to create views for Business reasons; these are beyond my control. However, I can see the source code to many Views. We have also
been told that we should not use tables in our queries. Therefore, I need to use existing Views. Specifically, I would like to add an additional value to an IN() constraint. This would change the constraint as showed below:
IN('A', 'B', 'C') ---> IN('A',
'B', 'C', 'L')
I am wondering if this change can be made when the view runs and only for this one report, with the change being made from the report. This would be very easy if the constraint was removing a value. Obviously I could change the constraint from
IN('A', 'B', 'C') to IN('A','B') very easily with out modifying the View. This would be done by writing a query against the view and in the WHERE clause adding the new IN('A', 'B') statement. However, I want to do the opposite and add a value... -
How can I learn to use my new Mac Air?
How can I learn to use my new Mac (I am a long time user of Windows), without having to go to Apple Store. Ours is 50 mi. away. Is there such a remote service? (Apple's or otherwise)
If you enjoy learning by reading, here's an excellent book in my opinion:
Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mountain Lion Edition
The author, David Pogue, is the New York Times technical writer. He is, in my opinion, an excellent author. This book is accurate and complete.
I have no financial interest in the author, publisher, or Amazon (the link points there). But I did use a previous version of this book when I started with Macs and am a satisfied customer. -
Learning to use flash on a pre-built template.
I am new to flash, and web design at that matter. I am
learning to use flash using a pre-built template. Does anyone know
how to get the buttons on the template to link to files?
Thanks!Pallett,
> I am new to flash, and web design at that matter. I am

Ouch! That may be problematic. Where di you get the
pre-built
template?
> Does anyone know how to get the buttons on the
> template to link to files? Thanks!
The global getURL() function links to files (see details in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference) -- but honestly, since
the specifics of
your template are completely unknown to us, you may find a
hard time getting
answers until you provide more information.
In general -- this is my opinion here, but I'll try to back
it up -- 3rd
party templates are not a good way to learn Flash. The reason
for this is
because template repositories, such as TemplateMonster.com,
farm out their
template designs. There are no centralized standards of
quality in such
templates: 10 to 1, you will not see consistent, clean FLAs
-- on the
inside, I mean. Designers from all over the world throw
together as many
templates as they possibly can (to make as much money as they
possibly can,
of course), with no real quality assurance, because none of
them work under
the same roof.
I've seen countless posts to this forum along the lines of,
"Hey, I just
bought this template, but I can't make sense of it!" And
that's because the
FLA's layers won't be named, layer folders won't be used,
Library assets
won't be named (or will be named poorly), and very little (if
anything) will
be explained in regard to *how* the designer put together
whatever's there.
That said, I certainly don't mean to frighten you into
thinking
templates are a bad thing. Good and bad, in this context, are
somewhat
subjective. But I encourage you to look elsewhere for
*learning* Flash.
There are plenty of online tutorials and resources, and in
fact, the
included documentation in Flash (F1 key) is a great place to
get your
bearings.

Need to learn to use perspective grid tool
I've had zero experience with the perspective grid and have a project coming in involving up to 50 graphics which may require it - so I need to learn to use it fast (next 2-3 weeks).
What is the best way of learning this? online tutorial? book? Instructional DVD? In person hands-on training facility?
My company would support my training so all ideas are welcome - thanks!What is the best way of learning this? online tutorial? book? Instructional DVD? In person hands-on training facility?
Why do you not even include in your list of options that which should be the default first choice?: Read and work through the provided official documentation. It's right there, under the Help menu.
The Perspective Grid is a simple feature, with only a few options. You just need to familiarize yourself with the interface for it. That's exactly what the provided documentation is supposed to do. It should not take anywhere near 2-3 weeks, assuming at least basic working familiarity with the rest of the program. If you lack that, your first course is again: read (and work through) the manual.

I am new at Captivate 8 and I have created a learning project using an existing power point presentation. I have added a button that will allow my students to view a video on the subject. When I run the project in Preview the button works but when I publish it, it stops working.
I added an Interactions button and in the Actions on Success I open an URL or file. I have placed the video on our web server. In the URL I point to our web server "http://www.wmabhs.org/Media/Add Client 3rd Party Coverage.mp4". If I run this from any browser it works. So what do you think I have done wrong?

Quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?
Could anyone recommend a quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?
Depends on your style.
Reminds me of a story a contractor to an IT department I worked in once told me.
He used to work in Silicon Valley in the '70s and told a story of a company that
hired a particular programmer who was brilliant but unstable. They used to set
up a room with a VT100 and a bottle of Tequila. The programmer would arrive
and set to work. As the Tequila emptied it was replaced. At some point over
the following days or weeks a scream would be heard from the room, followed
by a crash as the VT100 went through the window and the programmer disappeared.
They would replace the window, the VT100, the Tequila and wait till he came back
from "walkabout".
"Extreme Programming" '70s tyle!
OH&S would never allow this nowadays! That, plus Prozac means these sorts
of programmers are probably very rare!

Hi,
I am trying to create user accounts via PowerShell instead of the Gui in server 2008 R2 (PowerShell 2.0).
I know how to create a user account with the following Power Shell command below is one from a dummy domain I created to practice.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> New-ADUser -SamAccountName "TestOut" -UserPrincipalNa
me "[email protected]" -GivenName "Test" -Surname "out" -DisplayName "Testou
t" -Name "Testout" -Enabled $true -Path "CN=users,DC=bwcat,DC=net,DC=int" -Accou
ntPassword (Read-Host -AsSecureString "Enter Account Password")
However when doing day to day tasks where I work normally we have a new hire, they contact IT and ask that a user account is created. I will ask who they would like to mirror.
I then would go into the gui pull up the user that they want to mirror right click him and choose copy. This would create a new user account that I would then fill out.
I am wondering if its possible to do this same thing via PowerShell, or if its not an option because it takes more work type up everything than it does to go into the gui and do it.
Anyway thanks for the help.Hi Wilder, hi Mark,
first of all: The tutorial sources Mark posted - especially the book "Powershell 3 in A month of lunches" - are good to get a baseline start. A really great reference, especially when you try to learn it while still dealing with your daily business.
On another note, Wilder: While I fully agree that learning things sequentially is usually the best, I too jumped right in instead of learning how to walk first (though it's been some time now. Fewer years than you'd think, but still ...). So I thought I'd
give you a little aid with that function husk, so you could just stuff interesting bits into an available structure, making use of the fun tools in a useful context (It's fun fiddling around with the commands, but if you have to type in all of them manually
each time, using the GUI is often just faster. Doing fun things and being efficient with it feels even better though ...). So ... while I
do agree with yourself, learn it the Correct & Proper Way, I also do
intend to finish this little explanation about the husk, all the way to the end.
Everything below this paragraph is part of this.

# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
This is again the same function husk I posted earlier. Only this time, I filled a little logic (the pieces that were already posted in this thread). This time, I'll not only go over each part again ... I'll do it by reposting the segments and trying to show
some examples on how to modify the parts. Thus some of it will be repetitive, but this way all the info is in one spot.
Segment: Comment Based Help
<#
.SYNOPSIS
A brief description of the Copy-ADUser function.
.DESCRIPTION
A detailed description of the Copy-ADUser function.
.PARAMETER GivenName
A description of the GivenName parameter.
.PARAMETER Surname
A description of the Surname parameter.
.PARAMETER Template
A description of the Template parameter.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
.NOTES
Additional information about the function.
#>
That's the premier documentation part of a function, that teaches a user what the function does and how to use it. It's what's shown when using the Get-Help cmdlet.
Comment texts are not restricted to single lines however. For example you could replace ...
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
... with ...
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
Creates a new user named Max Mustermann and copies the group memberships of the already existing user Jonny Normal to this new User
... and get an explanation on what the example does when using Get-Help with the
-Detailed parameter (Explaining examples is always a good idea).
Segment: Parameter
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Surname,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$GivenName,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Template
This is the segment that tells Powershell what input your function accepts. Each parameter of Copy-ADUser you set will be available in the next segment as a variable of the same name. You can add additional parameters if you need more information for your
logic. For example, let's add a parameter that allows you to specify what Organization the new user should belong to:
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Surname,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$GivenName,
[string]
$Organization,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Template
That's how that would look like. You may notice that I didn't add the line with
"[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] this time. This means you
may add the Organization parameter when calling Copy-ADUser, but you need not.
Segment: Logic
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
This is the part of the function that does the actual work. Compared to the first husk I posted, this time there are two commands in it (and some comments). First, I create a new user, using the information passed into
the parameters -Surname and -GivenName. Then I Copy the group memberships of the user identified by the information given by the
-Template parameter.
So, let's modify it!
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
Now after adding a few lines, the logic will tell us what it's doing (and do so before it
is taking action)!
Hm ... didn't we create a change in the Parameter Segment to add an -Organization parameter? Let's use it!
# If the -Organization parameter was set, the $Organization variable will be longer than 0. Thus do ...
if ($Organization.Length -gt 0)
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname in the Organization $Organization"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -Organization $Organization -PassThru
# If the -Organization parameter was NOT set, the $Organization variable will have a length of 0. Thus the if-condition does not apply, thus we do the else block
else
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
There! Now we first check whether the -Organization parameter was set (it's not mandatory after all, so you can skip it). If it
was set, do whatever is in the curly braces after if (...). However, if it wasn't set, do whatever is in the curly braces after
else.
And that concludes my "minor" (and hopefully helpful) tutorial on how to use the function husk I posted :)
With this, whenever you find another cool command that helps you in the user creation process, you can simply add it, similar to what I did in these examples.
And if it all didn't make much sense, go through the tutorials in proper order and come back - it'll make much more sense then.
Cheers and good luck with PowerShell,
Fred
