Locking Standard Text from being edited

Hi friends,
I am writing an interface to load Sales Orders into SAP (4.7) from an external system. I need to store information such as the sales order number, person who approved, date, time, etc from the external system into SAP for auditing purposes.
I have 2 options: extend VBAK / VBAP and paint the extra fields to Additional Data B; or put these fields in Standard Text. But because these fields are for auditing, we do not want anyone to be able to change the Standard Text once they have been saved.
My client wants to fully investigate the Standard Text option before going ahead with extending VBAK / VBAP. I have looked at where the Standard texts are defined in the IMG but can't find anywhere where you can lock the object from changes.
If anyone has any ideas or can share similiar experiences that would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Pat.

Hi Patrick,
One more suggestion..if your client is not reluctant for a small core modification then take a look at subroutine sd_word_processing_put in SAPMV45A called in module sd_word_processing_put (screen 4152)
There is a local variable called da_display in it which you can influence based on the TDID that is in focus (just set it to 'X' if you want to lock a particular TDID).
Normally (SAPLV70T)LV70T-TDID contains the TDID that user has clicked on. If it is empty then it means the user is navigating for the first time into header texts (in this case you can read XTHEAD index 1 and see whether it is the same TDID that you want to lock).
So you can check whether da_display is SPACE and T180-TRTYP is V(change mode) and T180-TCODE is VA02 and then whether (SAPLV70T)LV70T-TDID is the id that you want to lock down and then set da_display to 'X'.
Even adding fields in additional data tabs is a repair technically may be you can try the above approach (if possible)..
Hope this helps..

Lock personnel numbers from being edited

Hello
I am in the middle of a system migration which is being done in phases; some personnel numbers have been moved and some remain in the legacy system. Is there a way to lock the already migrated ones from being edited through PA30, PA40 in SAP? The HR staff keep forgetting to use the new SAP environment so it is important to stop them from making changes in the old SAP.
Thanks.

How can I secure an emailed Quote from being edited by the recipient?

Hi, I'm a newbie with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
I have just finished creating a Quote Template.
After I finished creating the Quote Template I saved it as an Adobe Static PDF Form (.pdf).
I double clicked on the saved file and it opened in Adobe Acobat 9 Pro.
I then e-mailed it to myself as a test and found that after downloading the file from my email, I could edit the text and numbers.
It will not be a good idea to email an editable Quote to a client.
What should I do that a Quote Template created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 is secure from being edited by the client once the client received it per email?
I did not find the answer to my problem from the Help Menu, or overlooked it.
I will really appreciate it if someone can educate me in this.

Hi Leah,
you can protect a pdf from being edited in Acrobat Pro using the security features. (Advanced -> Security).
The easiest way is securing the file with a password and allowing no edits.
Here's the link to the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WSD012A4E1-51D1-4bcd-BA9F-EF03C6F20BB 6.html#top
Of course that also means the recipient can't fill any forms any more (unless he removes the security with the password).
A word of warning: as with all kinds of security the safety of it is only relative. There are tools out there which allow you to remove this protection in seconds.
(which probably would be illegal under these circumstances)
Background: the pdf specification only suggests that any pdf compatible application should care about the edit password. You practically can't enforce it. The tools I spoke of just ignore the security and save a new file.
The only way to improve this is to use digital certificates or to set an open password.
Regards,
Mike

HOW TO TRANSPORT THE STANDARD TEXT FROM ONE SERVER TO ANOTHER?

After creating the standard text in SO10 transaction
it will not ask for any transport request no while saving ,
i want to transport the standard text from development to test server.
how can we do that?

Hi Riaz,
To transport a Standard Text through a transport request , you need to attach the standard text through the transaction RSTXTRAN.
After executing the report RSTXTRAN , you can enter first the task name then the Object as TEXT , then the name of the standard text , ID as ST, then the language as EN or something else .then execute.
you cannot attach a standard text to an unassigned task.Firat you have to either activate a smartform or a script with that task then only you have to attach a standard text.
I think your query is almost answered .
Reward if you please.
Thanks & regards,
Ram

How do I stop texts from being seen on multiple devices on the same iTunes account

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now my texts are being viewed on another iphone connected to the same itunes account. How do I stop this from happening??

Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.

Hi Folks,
I need to print a document with some standard text and the vendor address.

This standard text will be the same for all the vendors.
2.I need to fetch the address of the vendor.So I had created a select option.I have to print this document with the standard text for each vendor.Text will remain the same but the vendor address differs.I had created a structure having all the fields for the address and declared in the form interface.Internal table is getting populated but it is not printing in the smartform.
How to get the document in one shot for all the vendors given in the range.
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Preview 8.0 stops pdf file text from being text

I have pdf files that contain only text.
I find that with Preview 8.0, once I have annotated the file in any way, the text in the file stops being recognised as text (that's the best way I can describe it). It only happens when I reopen the file after closing it. I cannot copy or paste anything, nor will there be any results when I try to search for a keyword. And when I highlight any text and right-click it, the menu shows Look Up "" (the quotations contain a null string) where the dictionary function is. The text in the same file cannot be read by another pdf reader I have either.
The only other Preview version I have used is 5.5.6 (or something like that, a much older version of Preview anyway) and it did not do anything like that to my pdf files.
Is there a solution to this? Is it even possible to reverse this effect (i.e. text stops being text) on my pdf files?

Further testing revealed that I only have this problem with this one particular pdf file. The problem does not happen with other pdf files that I have. I guess something is wrong with that particular file, though I don't know what. But now I understand why I did not find others complaining about this – it's only happening to me and that file.

i brought my iPhone a year ago from cash converters
and now i have been told that it has been locked
I’d love to help in any way that I can! In what way has it been locked?
i can not make or receive anything i has someone device it as its out of warranty and they told me that it had been blocked
i have contacted vodafone as that was the company that it was originally with but they have been unable to help me all they have done is confirmed that it has been blocked
I just want to make sure I am fully understanding. By “blocked” are you referring to the device being locked to Vodafone? Or are you saying that it is locked to another customer or the previous owner?
blocked to another customer and now we are unable to use they phone
I can certainly see how that would be an inconvenience. We call this “Activation Lock” and this is a security feature that is enabled by the original owner of the device. This feature can only be disabled by the owner who enabled it.
In this case, since you purchased it from Cash Converters, they would be the best resource for you to contact, as they may be able to reach out to the original owner.
Once the original owner is contacted, they can remove the iPhone from their iCloud account on iCloud.com and you will have access to activate the phone again.
vodafone is unsure who put the block on it because the vodaofone fraud squad is involved
I've been told that the contract has been unpaid or the owner has reported it stolen
If the device is locked to another customer, it would be due to an Activation Lock. There is a chance that the phone could have been reported stolen, and blocked by the carrier as well.
i have all the purchase documents form cash converters and from the day we brought it
Apple can help with most things, but in this situation it would be best to work with the carrier and Cash Converters. Apple does not have the capability of unblocking phones that have been locked or reported stolen.
is there a way that we can put them into our name after the situation is solved
my family have other apple phones that they have brought from there
Yes, absolutely. However, the block is controlled by the carrier. If we are dealing with an Activation Lock issue, that is a feature of iCloud and once the owner releases the device from their account you would be able to add it to your own.

How to stop a form from being editable

Hi,
we created a form for a client that their auditors are simply downloading, completing and submitting back to the client via form upload. the fowm contains dropdon fields and text areas. the client then needs to send the form to a third party. The form needs to be locked so no amendments can be made. The client has tried combining the form with an additional pdf, but the text areas then do not show overflow, the "+" appears in bottom right corner but can not be clicked to expand. Can someone help/advise the solution please...doing our heads in now....

Hi,
There is a LoclAllFields solution, but when the fields are readOnly you will not be able to access data below the bounds of the field (not visible).
I have a form on our website that was developed a few years ago: http://www.assurehsc.ie/files/2007-08-31_Designer_Risk_Assessments_Example-1.pdf
It is intended as a sample/information/instruction tool. Because it is up on the web I wanted visitors to explore the look and feel, but not to download an use at will. So the fields are set to 'open', but the initial value is read on the enter event, stored and then on exit the original value is restored.
This is a solution from the forum (Stefan, I think). If you insert a script object called 'Utils', with the following javascript:
var sOriginalValue = "";
Then in the fields enter event:
Utils.sOriginalValue = this.rawValue; // store original value into script object variable
And in the fields exit event:
this.rawValue = Utils.sOriginalValue; // restore original value from script object variable
Utils.sOriginalValue = ""; // reset saved value
This solution runs all the time. In your case you would need a flag to track if the script it to run or not, eg turning on and off the feature.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Is there a way to prevent or "lock" a folder from being copied on a mac?

I am Copying over a few folders to a friend of mine and I would like to "lock" out the folder to prevent him from giving out and sharing the contents of that folder. Is there any way to make that happen? Maybe something that will "require" a password when you want to copy the folder?
Creating an encrypted .dmg is not an option.

If I were to create an ecrypted .DMG the folder will not automatically show up. I would have to give him the password which would defeat the purpose. unless i can encrypt it and make it read only?
I tried to lock out the folder but it will not lock.
Im a DJ and I Sold him/traded alot of my personal video and audio remixes I've made and I would not want him to give them out to other DJ's in the area. That's basically my biggest concern.

How do I keep my text from being distorted when I do a lower arc?

When I create an upper arc in my text it looks normal, but when I do a lower arc, it expands all the letters in the middle instead of just curving them, so that it has a sort of "fish eye" look. How do I keep it from doing this?

No, gratitude for your help. Since I've never done the text the way you suggested, I found a video on youtube to show me how. However, I have not been able to get satisfactory results. Why will PS allow me to make a perfect upper arc with my type, and it won't do the same on the lower arc?

I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing from being used?

I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing so that my kids can not have this option?

There is no way to reliably disable private browsing or keep a user from deleting history. Use a program such as netnanny to keep track of history and sites visited.

Is there a way to lock music files from being accidentally deleted on ios 5.0?

With the new ios5 you can delete music files (albums, songs, artists) directly from the phone, is there a way to lock this to avoid accidental deleting?

This time I disagree, you can't re-download music recorded in iTunes from a CD unless you buy more capacity in the cloud. Besides you can't trust the iPhone to a little child because of the risk of having your favorite music deleted in an instant. A simple lock button would solve this big issue. How can I suggest Apple to implement it?

How can I stop text from being show when I print it?

You can see the webpage I am working on here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
I created a staylesheet called "print.css" and added the following lines to my Resume.html file:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
In my Resume.html file I have a link that will print a PDF of my resumé. However, if you print the resumé then I do not want the link to print the resumé to be shown.
In the print.css I created the following class:
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
I applied the class to the 'offending' text, thus:
<p class="doNotPrint"><a href="PDFs/Peter A. Forkes - Resume.pdf">Resume.pdf</a></p>
however, it does not seem to have any effect. I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
If you can suggest either how to make my method work (or suggest a better method) that that should mean that I have finished everything I want to do with my webpage.
Thanks,
Peter

I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
The problem with the CSS is that you've targeted the <p> tag with the rule, not the <a> tag so it has no effect. Normal text in that paragraph will print in white but links will display in #333 because of your rule on a:link and a:visited
Nevertheless, I would avoid those tricks in case you incur the displeasure of the search engines. They're widely used by spammers and are punished accordingly (even though I know we're talking about a print stylesheet and your intentions are honourable :-).
In your print stylesheet, change
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
to
.doNotPrint {
display:none;

I just downloaded acrobat x. unfortunatel security features are all greyed out.i cant protect my doc from being edited,copied etc. any advice on what i should do

I JUST DO

Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.
