For what its worth what I do is to split a long movie project into sub-projects each not longer than 5 - 10 minutes. I export (=share in the new terminology) each one separately. When (and only when) I am happy with all the (shared) pieces I join them together using Quicktime 7 Pro.
You cannot "render as you go along" in iMovie. You could join the subprojects in iMovie and re-share the combined project but this takes much longer than the few minutes it takes to stitch together in Quicktime 7.
There are a number of advantages to this approach:
1: Sharing takes a long time. As soon as I share a projects and view them (in high definition) I find things that need correcting/improving - but at least one only has to re-share the affected sub-project(s) at not the whole lot.
2: iMovie 9 seemed to get more sluggish if there was a lot in the timeline - I don't know yet whether this is also the case with iMovie 10
3: If something goes seriously wrong you have only lost part of your work.
4: I find it easier to keep track of what I am doing on a timeline which is not too long.
You are going to need a lot of GB storage on iCloud!
Best of luck with the project!

Solution manager in Portal - com.sap.portal.epsolman.EPSolman

Hi
I have implemented the standard Solution Manager reporting iView. When using this iView I often receive the error below.
The error occurs when the iView has been open for a while and fails when I try to submit.
I our DEV and QA environment it fails after about 8-10 minutes and in our prod it is more random like between 2- 7 minutes.
The oddest this is that the same error occurs when I use the Reset button.
First I thought it was a backend issue but when I fail as well when using the Reset button then I looks more like a Portal timeout issue.
Anyone has any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Does somebody have experience to manage SAP project with solution manager?

Hi friends,
I will implement new project for my client. As I know, solution manager is already part of SAP Netweaver. To install SAP NetWeaver, solution manager must be installed. Meanwhile, solution manager provides a project management tool, for example, the business process definition, blueprint...
But I never use it to manage project. Could somebody share experience in this area?
Regards,
Watson

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for your posting. I will implement a SAP APO project. What I need is the methods to use solution manager, for example, configuration manual, step by step guide. I'm also interested in the advantages of SAP solution manager.

Employee Performance Management in SAP Portal

Hi,
I would like some advice on the best possible way of implementing Performance Management through SAP Portal. What do you suggest?
I was reading about MSS business packages and it comes with two iviews: Status Overview and Performance Management Document; is that all that is necessary to complete the performance process through portal ? I imagine the appraisal documents gets updated and some workflow is configured for approval and review cycle.
Well, any documentation, or experience you can share with me will be very useful.
Thanks
Ivan

There is a lot of configuration on the SAP side that needs to be done. I suggest hiring an experienced consultant and save your time and headaches. Also, watch out for Portal and SAP upgrades. They don't always offer a migration tool and you may have to re-implement somethings after an upgrade of one or the other. Annoying.

Question about Managing SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade Projects

Hi experts,
Some questions in this link(google: Managing SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade Projects and download PDF)
http://www.google.com.tw/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=Managing_SAP_ERP_60_Upgrades_SAP_PRESS_sample&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDgQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.techtarget.com%2FsearchSAP%2Fdownloads%2FManaging_SAP_ERP_60_Upgrades_SAP_PRESS_sample.pdf&ei=vTsVT7PKI4T6mAXL0czcAw&usg=AFQjCNFq83vYG3k14xC5tcoYy96PfllYFw
1. Is figure 5.3 in page 165 correct?
I think it should be
Temporary system: DEV 6.0
Productive system: DEV' 4.6C -> QAS 4.6C -> PRD 4.6C
2. Is this transport route possible?
"During this phase, you continue dual maintenance of the development
systems. You also transfer changes that you make in DEV' to DEV, and
transport changes to both quality assurance systems."
DEV' 4.6C -> DEV 6.0 -> QAS 6.0 -> QAS' 4.6C
If we modified some standard programs and transport between two different SAP versions, I think the programs can't work, right?

Here, you need to do manual replication between both development system. No transport is possible because of different versions. I am not sure about the document that you posted but same is explained very well in upgrade guide. Please check there.

Question about elearning - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management

Hi Gurus,
i have a question about an e learning course which SAP offers-
Course Name- OCPM10-
OCPM10 - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management 1.0 | SAP Training and Certification Shop
It's an e learning course for 20 hours, below are my questions-
Since its an e-learning course, is it to be completed in a specified time (within 2-3 days) or we can have access to it throughout the year but duration of course is 20 hrs
What kind of documentation is provided to me as part of this course.

1. C_TPLM22_05 - SAP Certified Solution Consultant PLM - Project Management with SAP ERP 2005
It includes SAP PLM 235 course material along with PLM 200, 210 220, 230,
2. C_TPLM22_60 - SAP Certified Application Associate - Project Management with SAP ERP 6.0
It is not including the PLM 235 course.
This is the basic difference between it. IN Certification there are 6 -7 areas , in each of them you have to score more than 70 % , there many few multiple answer questions as well. Finally over score will come it should be higher than 70 %. So, I ideally weight all the topics equally,
With Regards

Role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project

Hi All,
What is the role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project and the stages in which he is involved?

Hello Mohammed,
The role of a Security consultant in any SAP product implementation (not just GRC) is wide enough and it's hard for anyone to sum up on a single forum post. Still I can give you some pointers.
Security consultants come from different backgrounds, some from networking, database administration, infrastructure and even development like me. They contribute enormously to any product implementation from scratch (landscape design) to go-live (and continuous maintenance) so they are active on every phase of the implementation.
Following are some of the activities they may perform (or participate)
-System Landscape Design (work closely with BASIS and DBAs)
-Check Infrastructure feasibility from security perspective (For Portals exposed to internet or extranet work closely with network providers for firewall security, VPS etc.)
-Propose security guidelines, access policies, disaster recovery plan, business continuity roadmap (work closely with information security consultants and internal auditors or risk management teams)
- Implement SAP solution specific Security measures (involves almost every SAP solution) for example: SAP R/3 security, GRC, BW/BI, HR, FI, Portal security etc.
- participate in application integration for example: LDAP, IDM, SAP UME, shared directories etc (User master records security is on high priority).
- Check for any possible backdoor access vulnerabilities (ex: open RFCs, function modules like ping_rfc), and it involves almost all SAP solutions and there are special procedures to analyze such vulnerabilities.
there are many such activities that a security consultant perform on day to day basis. Please do not interprete the above mentioned activities (entirely) as a criteria for any security consultant profile. There are many many possibilities for a security consultants to work from pen testing to SoD violation remediation. That's why I said it's not easy to sum up security.
Always remember, Security and GRC are two sides of a coin they work together. however GRC is more of a combination of policy, regulation, events and involves management participation whereas security is a purely technical practice.
You may also be interested to know what it takes to become a forensic security specialist. Take a quick look at [http://amudee.com/?p=378|http://amudee.com/?p=378]

Is the system being used internally only or do you plan to expose it to the Internet? Based on my past experience I would focus on architecture design, security including vulnerability scanning, performance, interoperability (especially different browsers and browser versions) and usability (neither the BSP nor the WDA UI is that user friendly). Of course if the system is used only internally, the involved effort is smaller.

Need to download com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par

hello friends
we need to chang the look and feel of the portal display pages and for that purpose we need com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file
can you all help us as to where we can find this par file so that we can download this file.
we have still not installed the portal platform,we'll be doing that in the following week.
Thnaking you,
Anurag.

Hi Anurag,
This post will explain the steps involved for each element.
No.      Portal Login page related questions
1.      What is the associated par file for portal login Page ?
2.      How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
3.      What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
4.      How to change text seen in the logon page ?
5.      What is authschemes.xml file? Do we need to change this file also ?
6.      How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
7.      How to change or add new images ?
8.      How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
1. What is the associated par file for portal login Page?
Answer : The par file related to login page of Netweaver Portal is com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par. This is the standard
logon component containing the code and resources used by the logon screens is shipped in a portal archive (PAR) file named com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.
2. How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
Answer :   - Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- In the window you have 3 text fields:
The location of the par file,
Project name (same as new par file name, preferably) and
location for project to be saved
3. What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
Answer :
Logon page : umLogonPage.jsp
Problem page : umLogonProblemPage.jsp
Help (PW reset) page : umHelpPage.jsp
Reset Password : umResetPasswordPage.jsp
Change Password Page: changePasswordPage.jsp
Certificate Logon : umLogonCertPage.jsp
4. How to change text seen in the logon page ?
The text seen on the logon page is not in the JSP page, but in properties files which are called by tags like the
Welcome text : <%=logonLocale.get("xtit_WELCOME")%>
In order to change "Welcome" to "Welcome to MyTravel" you have to :
           - Unzip the file umelogonbase.jar which you can find under dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
           - Find the file "logonLabels_" which contains your language;
                                       e.g. logonLabels_de.properties for german language, *_en for English etc.,
The default is in the file logonLabels.properties .
- Find the key which is used in the tag and change the text after the equal sign.
- Save the changed file and create a updated JAR file using a zip program. The file needs to be named exactly umelogonbase.jar
- Put the JAR file back to location - dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
You are done on this now.
5. What is authschemes.xml file ? Do we need to change this file also ?
Changing the Authschemes.xml file is required only if you want to change com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file and point it to different par file. This is more for anonymous logon with named anonymous users and using anonymous as the authentication scheme. The anonymous users are not issued a SAP logon ticket.
6. How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
The standard links are controlled with the UM settings
       - ume.logon.logon_help
- ume.logon.selfreg
You could also just comment out the lines if you want to hide.
7. How to change or add new images ?
To exchange the two images, which are by default on the logon page, do the following steps:
                      a. Copy the image(s) you want to use in your project in the the folder dist/layout
                      b. Find the < img src=""   > you want to work on in the umBotArea.txt
Change the src attribute in the img tag to src="<%=webpath + "layout/myPic.gif" %>". The webpath is already defined in the file logon_proxy.txt and ready to use. In the Netweaver portal 6.0 SP9 and higher you have 2 images on the right side.
8. How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
If you want to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen, you can configure this using the user management property ume.logon.branding_image
Hope this helps the community in the launch of this ver 1.0, future versions could contain more changes and updations covering all other aspects of Netweaver Portal

How to access Sap portal login user in ejb web service

Hi,
I wnt to access SAP Portal login user in my ejb application which resides on the same server.
I am using following code
try {
     IUser user =null;                         IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
                              user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
                         } catch (WDUMException e) {
                              // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                              e.printStackTrace();
Some additional jar files are required for this?
The same code works fine with webDynpro but not with ejb.
Thanks in advance

Multiple versions of the same Web Dynpro application on the same SAP Portal

I have a single application (local development) and deploy directly to a SAP Portal(NW 7.0) from NWDS Version: 7.0.15
No problems there, works like a charm.
But I want to have multiple versions of the same application on one portal. Eg. ill build a version 1.0 for test and deploy this. Then continue to work on version 1.1 deploying this directly on the portal. The two versions should now co-existing under different names and/or packages.
Please help.

Hi Kim,
May be you can try this and see if this works for you. I am not 100% sure if it will work for you, but worth a try I guess. Create a Test WebDynpro project and try the following steps on this project. If they work out correctly and serve the purpose for you only then try them on your actual Web Dynpro project.
1. Create a test Web Dynpro project say "TestWDProject" with Component say "Comp1" and the default views and windows etc.
Also create some working application our of this component and Windows using the Context.
2. Right click the "Comp1" and select Copy.
3. Right click 'Components" node in the project structure and select "Paste"
4.This step will try to paste the copy of Comp1 as a new Component.
5. You can change the Name and Package of the Component.
6.Similarly you'll get the prompts for views,windows etc.
7.Once you have copied everything, Just check if everything looks good.
8.Now you can create a new Application using this new component and the Component Interface View and Deploy it.
9.Test whether the Application created out of this copy works same as the original component.
You can also try to create another Web Dynpro project and paste the Comp1 in the Components node of that new project and perform the same steps.
Again, try with these Test Projects and see if this serves your purpose before applying the steps on actual projects.
Regards,
Ajay
