Market Share calculation of many products and markets.

Hi all,
I would really appreciate if you can help me on the below business issue of Market Share Calculation.
Prd_ID = Product ID
PS = Product Sales
M_ID = Market ID
MS = Market Sales
MS% = Market Share

Prd_ID;PS;M_ID;MS;MS%
A00001;10;MRK1;100;10%
A00002;20;MRK1;100;20%
SBTOT;30;MRK1;100;30%
B00001;40;MRK2;200;20%
B00002;30;MRK2;200;15%
SBTOT;70;MRK2;200;35%
GTOTL;100;MRKX;300;33,3%
KFigures are only :
ProductSales (Sum aggregation)
MarketSales ( ?? I tried may exception aggrs with no result)
Market Share is a formula in BEX.
I need an aggregation on unique only records in terms of the Market_ID. If Market_ID appears more than once, should be ignored (even the Market Id is drilldown or not)
I saw in the documentations example of MS% calculation, but this is working only if we analyze the products agains one Market_ID.
But a company may compete in many markets with many products.
Thanks

Hi TW Typewriter,
Yes, I am changing the date in the "schedule lines" tab for the sales order to a date next week, say May 23, 2014. When I click on the display "Shipping" info, I see:
1) Delivery date: 05/23/2014 - 00:00
2) GI Date: 05/22/2014 - 22:00:00
The expectation is to have the GI date 23:00:00 since my config for the route on the sales order is for 1 hr of transit time only.

New tab for Contract for data about products and product sales.

Looking for ideas to implement a new tab on the Contract (RECN)
We have some basic data about products and product sales that we want to have implemented on a screen tab for a contract. The user needs to be able to enter information about a product, quantity, year grown, and tax info. And then each of these products may have one or many sales records showing date of sale, quantity sold, and a brief note.
So a contract can have 1 or many products and a product can have one or many sales records.
The user needs to be able to enter, update and delete any one of these records. And, ideally, enter multiple of each before saving.
Do any of you have ideas about how to go about this? Using ALV grids? or table controls? I'm still wet behind the ears regarding doing screen development in SAP so am open to any and all suggestiions.
SAP 6.4 is the version we are at.
Thanks
Laurie

Maybe the original order to renew and keep unlimited data was cancelled because it was not an option. It wasn't a "bait-and-switch" The order was cancelled, it wasn't switched. When you called to reissue the order they told you the correct options so they did not switch you without your knowledge. The second rep was correct, he didn't lie, the first rep did. Verizon cancelled the order because if they didn't you would have been set up w/ new 2 year agreements on a tiered data plan, which would have been illegal. Thats why they cancelled it. So you can either not make the change, keep the unlimited data and buy the phones outright. Or switch, go to a tiered plan, and get new phones. By glitch they meant the system accidentally allowed you to keep the unlimited plan, though it was not an option. Verizon has had this rule since they removed the unlimited plan back in '11.

To produce and sell as many devices as possible.
Seriously, you will have to ask Apple. We are just users like you. You can contact Apple using the Contact Us link at the bottom of these pages. But I don't think you will get a response, but I may be wrong.

OT: Product and Forum Observations

First off, I think the product is GREAT! This is only version 1.6.1 and the functionality is there to accomplish pretty much anything. With future versions, functionality will improve way past it's current stage.
Next, the support/help on here from the HTML DB development (and management) team is fantastic, compared to what people have come to expect from the MetaLink Forums. Those have degraded to the point that people are now filing TAR's for simple little questions, since they can't get help any other way (maybe because they don't know about other avenues?).
Anyway, the entire HTML DB team, Sergio, Carl, Scott Spadafore, Scott Spendolini, Raj, and all others are to be commended for the time and effort it takes to answer questions on here, especially with all of their other duties like product meetings, development work, white papers, how-to's, marketing, and of course, having a personal life.
Add to this that this a FREE product, and what more could anybody ask for? I get better help and support on here for a FREE product than I usually get for expensive, paid-for products!
This forum could be improved a bit if people would take the time to try and search for an answer to their problem first, before making a posting, and especially by reading the various white papers, how-to's, etc. It really doesn't take that long to go through them. It could also be improved if more of the forum members would respond to others with what they've discovered/come up with, instead of just being selfish and only posting when they have a problem/question.
After all, all of this is FREE and the HTML DB Team does have much more important stuff to do do than answering posts with answers like "Look at this thread" or "Please read this article/how-to/etc."
As a minor suggestion, it would be kind of nice if some of the members would collaborate a bit with their postings and create a how-to type article for others to quickly find. Perhaps something along the lines of the LDAP 'stuff', there seems to be quite a bit of 'curiosity' about that area, amongst others.
Anyway, off my soapbox now. Hope some of the posters will take the time to read this and take it to heart.
Bill Ferguson

What! The HTML DB team is allowed a personal life!
Thanks for the post Bill. Being an Oracle DBA for many years and being totally HTML illiterate, I did have some reservations with building a new system using HTML.DB. However, I am truly enjoying the product and am VERY THANKFUL for this forum, the contributors and the HTML DB Team.
I read just about every post, so as to learn from the questions that others ask. The questions of others have influenced the way my system works. So, I am thankful for all the questions - not matter how off the wall the questions might be. I encourage others to read the posts regularly.
Yes, "search" often. And when you find a solution for a question that you have asked, please post the solution or a link to the solution. Guaranteed others are going to have the same problem and wouldn't it be great if they could solve the problem with your posting.
I would also would add the comment that you can show your name in this forum (instead of a numeric ID) by clicking on 'Forum Settings' and setting 'Name visible to others' to Yes. It just seems the friendly thing to do, to communicate with a name and not just a number.

Zen Vision M: current and future products and accessories, lets keep this one going.

I love this product, I think its great so far. Does anyone know of any ZVM products not available in the US that might be elsewhere? Or of any future accessory product plans in the making? I would really like to see a waterproof case. Brookstone Makes one for mp3 players in general, but it woudl be nice to see something that is made for ZVM specifically, also something that doesnt state not for prolonged use, that doesnt make me feel to safe to buy that product, althogh someone I work with has that product for their ipod and loves it.. Also, does anyone have any problems with AV cables not staying attached good enough? I feel that Creative labs should market many more products for the ZVM and word will get out that it kicks ipods buttox. So far I have purchased a few noncreative products, such as AV cables and Car battery charger...my advice is buy the creative...for a few bucks more, it will probably work better. If anyone would like to purchase my current car charger, and av cable let me know. they work...but for example the av cable doesnt seem to connect very good...picture fades in and out on the tv...(i've connected it to my other friends zvm so i know its not the av product itself) and further my car charger when plugged in gets horrible feed back on the speakers...im guessin its not properly shielded. Does anyone have any experience w/ the creative products themselves? is that an issue? Does anyone else have any good accessories for ZVM and where did you find them? I bought a case from Kroo...the screen wasnt so nice so i sent it back and hopefully the next oen will be, I purchased an exercise type arm band case on amazon.com taht I am very pleased with. Made exclusi'vely for ZVM. Well I could write and write more. Keep me in the loop. We need waterproof. We need wireless. We need cheaper screen and body protectors!!!! You may email me directly [email][email protected]][email protected][/url] thank you

I have since sent two Zen Vision M's back to where I purchased them. Both units froze up quite frequentley. I cleaned them up and downloaded the firmware only to have them freeze up again. This happened when playing music. It would play several tracks and then just quit. I could not fast forward backup or even power it off. The only way to repair it is to depress the rebuild button. It works fine for awhile and then it happens when you least expect it. I am very disapointed in the customer service also. They suggest several repairs in an email but nothing works. I really liked the fact that this unit has an FM tuner and great color screen but it was nothing but problems for me. I can't afford to take a chance on another unit. I guess I will have to try an Ipod. The very basic thing this unit should do is play music with no interuptions. I was going to take a chance on a different model Zen but I have read many posts and it appears that there are some of the same issues with other models.

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem

Acrobat Pro 6 Average Daily Production and Math.round problem
(Production.0) (154) (whole units) . (Production.1) (90) (fractional) / (divided by) 31 (days) results in (Average.0) (4)(whole units) . (Average.1) (10) (fractional) using :Math.round.� Noticed that 154 (whole units) . 85 through 99 (fractional) also show 4.10. (without Math.round : 5.00)
Method:
�Production.0� (whole units) . �Production .1� (fractional) / Days = (Average Daily Production) (�Average.0� (whole units) . (Average.1) (fractional)
� Production.0 (value not calculated)�, � Production 1 (calculated) (event.value = util.printx("0099", (event.value)).substr(-2,2); � �Average.0 (value not calculate)�, and �Average.1 has following calculation:
var punits = this.getField("Production.0");
var pfrac = this.getField("Production.1");
var average = 0.0;
average = (punits.value + pfrac.value / 100) / this.getField("Days").value;
this.getField("Average.0").value = average - average % 1;
this.getField("Average.1").value = util.printx("0099", Math.round((average % 1 * 100))).substr(-2,2);
�Math.round� appears to be a problem. Also, could you explain the purpose of �0099� . Anyway, why would 154.85 through 154.90 divided by 31 give 4,10. Also, their must be a better way, to find the average daily production. All you have to do is divided the production (whole. fractional) by the days, and display the average daily production as (whole. fractional). Any suggestions??

There are a many loose ends in your question.
First, I have never seen before a variable type called 'var'. Is it a java primitive or a class?
Next, I cannot seem to find any class that has the printx method.
When it comes to substr(-2,2), I get confused. First, I thought that it was a method of the String class, but I only got as far as substring(beginIndex, endIndex).
If you really must break the production and average into pieces, try this:
float average = (punits + pfrac/100) / days;
int avg_units = (int)average;
int avg_frac = (int)( (average - avg_units) * 100 );My guess is that util.printx("0099", x) formats x having two optional digits and two mandatory digits, showing 0-99 as 00-99, but allows to show numbers with three and four digits.
154.85/31 = 4,9951612903225806451612903225806
154.99/31= 4,9996774193548387096774193548387
If you round the fraction of theese numbers multiplied by 100 ( = 99.51.. and 99.968...) you get 100, and this will be the output of printx. My guess for "4.10" is that substr(-2,2) returns the two first characters of the string, because the start index should not be zero. (According to java docs, substring throws an exception on a negative index, so what kind of class are you really using ??????)

Share calculation Not working in the report

Iam surprised not to ge the simple share calculation not working at my report.
I have a dimension and corresponding values ( measures) .I made a Total at the end of the report. and I want to calcualte share of Total to each corresponding value.
how to do this, any thougts,...
I have used calculated memebers for this, But I wan to make the percentage of the total ( which is calculated inside Tool itself)
Please help....

Prassad,
Not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but there a couple of possible solutions:
1) Total = total of all dimension members. Assuming you only have three dimension members then you should have a fourth member called ALL_DIMS or something similar. In the Share calculation template you need to specify the Total level as the basis for your share calc. This will generate the following result:
                         Revenue % Share
- All Members     600         100%
     A                  100           17%
     B                  200           33%
     C                  300           50%2) The total you are referring to is in fact a sub total and is the result of adding together only the results for A + B + C, i.e. you have hundreds of dimension members but you specifically want to see a total for just these three members. To do this create a new custom aggregate call "My Total" and add together the dimension members A + B + C - Custom Aggs are a new feature to Discoverer OLAP (Checkout Mark Rittman's excellent blog article for more information on this feature: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2006/11/13/checking-out-the-new-discoverer-101220-features/)
Then in the Share calculation wizard set the basis for your index using the last option in the list "Specific Dimension Member" and select your new custom aggregate member.
Hope this helps

SAP Product and Portfolio Management Upgrade(PPM)

HI Everyone, A warm reagrds! W e are planning to upgrade our current SAP Product and Portfolio Management 4.0 to 5.0.While doing the Upgrade analysis I have come across below these questions..Has anyone earlier in this forum have come across
1.What are the side effects of this upgrade on existing system?
2. We have 21 client environment on top of the 3 standard clients provided by SAP. What can be the best approach for upgrading the systems? Some of these clients are used by project teams for prototype development , how would the upgrade affect their working (they are not working on this package)?
3. Our team is working on this package in one of the client and have created scenarios in the system. What will be the effect of this upgrade ? (this question can be seen as an extension to question 1)
4. How much effort would be required to carry out this upgrade and what will be the down time for the system?
I have check the service market place and help.sap but at present not getting much info..
Thanks for your time to read.. Please help!1

Hi,
it is an own separate NW AddOn, see SAP Note 1377104 (FAQs - SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0).

Typically, How many back and forths with Creative Support before they acknowledge your questi

Typically, how many times does one have to go back and forth with Creative Support before they acknowledge an issue or question?
This is ridiculous.
I'm on the forth reply now.
All I want to know is if there is a?64-bit ASIO driver for the X-Fi Titanium on 64-bit Vista?
They will not answer me.
All of my testing indicates that there is not a 64-bit ASIO driver for Vista, but they will not confirm or deny.
:angry:

dRe: Typically, How many back and forths with Creative Support before they acknowledge your question?U I don't know what Creative would have written if you asked SUpport these days?
I assume, they lied when they wrote this. There are several walkarounds for XFI cards
with beta drivers. In releas drivers they exclude the ASIOx64, but in beta it's included!
Creative has a very awkward marketing strategy. This was with Vista not having EAX on Audigy as
the said it is impossible. The newer X-FI was able to?do it and after a few weeks the Audigy also could-
after paying for it. The same with DolbyDigital Li've... and now with x64 ASIO. They reduce features
in cases the cheaper card had same possibilities as the more expensi've EMUs...
Shame on them. I?baught a creative Card for the 4th time (SB, SB AWE32,Audigy2, and now Titanium).
I'm going to thinking about selling it...

SAP third party Pre-delivered SLD Content - Product and SWCVs

Hi All,
I have started this thread on LinkedIn and I wanted it to be viewed by all of you for your valuable suggestions and thus from SAP too... The thread is [here|http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers? viewQuestionAndAnswers=&discussionID=20482912&gid=81282&commentID=16700717&trk=view_disc ]

Here is the thread content until now -
Hi All,
I have been working on integration of our product with SAP. We wanted our SLD objects for the product and the swcs to be delivered as part of SAP's pre-delivered SLD content, so that the client could simply import our design objects in to their PI landscape (Similar to how SAP provides PI content on service market place. We do have partnership with SAP and this product integration was not yet certified by SAP. However, they SAP agreed to supply our product and SWCs as part of the standard SAP CIM modal content).
How ever, even when we gave our SLD export to SAP, when the latest CIM modal for SLD from SAP got released, we were surprised to see that, our product and SWCvs are created with the vendor name "sap.com". This absolutely makes our product and swcvs unusable as we would not be able to look at them in the SPROXY on application systems. This was the same case with an older client that I worked with too..!! Any one had similar experience with this? Shouldn't SAP
be creating them with vendor as "<vendor>.com"? At least, our product is not owned by SAP..!!
We all know that, if sap.com is the vendor for SLD objects, only SAP could provide the proxy implementations through an SAP support pack.
Could someone from SAP PI Techies understand my point and care to respond?
Regards,
VJ

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?

I'm under weight and would really like to see some apps for people like me who want to gain about 30 lbs!

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?
Because there's a 35x bigger market for it.
Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are overweight, including obesity: 69.2% (2009-2010) - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/overwt.htm
...an estimated 1.7% of U.S. adults aged 20 and over are underweight - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/underweight_adult_07_10/underweight_adult_07 _10.htm
I suggest you type
weight gain app osx
into a search engine. I did and one came up on the top line (no idea if it is any good, you have to determine that yourself).

Interest calculation on Open items and cleared items

Dear Experts
I am trying to do needful configuration for interest indicator on which interest can be calculated for open items and cleared items as well. But, system is calculating interest for open items properly, but not calculating interest on cleared items with same interest indicator, I am repeatedly getting error "interest calculation indicator is not compatible with this type of interest calculation"
Is it possible to use same interest indicator for open line items and cleared line items of customer?
If possible, request you share the needful config steps to do same.
points will be awarded for usful reply.
Best regards,
S. Habib Pasha.

Hello Habib,
depending on the requests you can setup a item interest calculation or a balance interest calculation "Define calculation types".
IIC: check settings (item selection, all cleared items, only items with payment, no cleared items) "Prepare item interest calculation"
I guess you have setup the item interest calculation - maybe you have mixed some entries with BAIC.
Check in "Prepare account balance interest calculation" whether you have entries with the indicator you want to use.
At least check your entries in "Define time-based Terms" If you have entries with Balance account interest calculation the system gives even an error.
Hope this is helpfull.
Best regards

My experience in Toshibas product and customer services

Just a warning to people who may be considering purchasing a Qosmio based on my own experiences and the research I have done in the last week.
Toshibas customer service is simply not what it once was and there are 100s of reports of Qosmios of all generations suffering extreme issues just outside of warranty periods.
Ref: Toshiba Qosmio X500-149, Support call reference ********
I am writing to express my frustration, anger and disappointment in Toshibas product and customer services.
I am a Freelance Community Manager, Video Game and hardware reviewer in the video games industry presently looking after 2 communities for 2 employers totalling over 2.5m users, I travel to a lot of trade shows, expos and community meet and greets where I require a laptop suitable of showing the employers products which are usually AAA video games or editing video on the fly for publication to social networking sites.
In January of 2011 my 4 year old Alienware hit that point where it really needed replaced, I opted for a Toshiba Qosmio over the Asus G73 as there was a 300 price difference for near identical spec.
I managed to source a X500-149 at PCWorld the companies flagship model here in the UK paying 1499 for it on January 26th 2011 reduced from 1799.
For the 1st 13 month this laptop performed admirably aside a design issue of the fan guards that I raised on the 16th May 2011 with PCWorld where the heat expelled causes the rear guard plastics to become exceptionally brittle and crack. I evangelised the product to anyone who asked me what laptop and model it was that was running these AAA games in such great detail, something I certainly won't be doing in future.
In early March 2012 it then began randomly locking up requiring a hard reboot this would then suffer issues restarting, reporting Operating system could not be found this would usually point to a fault on the primary HD, disk checking software however reported no errors but this continued to happen which would lead me to suspect the motherboard.
Within a month of this problem starting the left laptop fan began making a horrible screeching noise and had a distinct wobble whenever high RPM's were required and the machine began to often go into thermal shut-down whilst performing my work duties and utilising graphics and higher than idle CPU.
I decided on the 23rd April 2012 that enough was enough and I was going to speak to Toshiba as for this to happen to a flagship laptop that was only just out of warranty was simply unacceptable.
23rd April called to report the issue and was basically told tough luck its out of warranty at this point I also updated my tel numbers with Toshiba as the info was outdated, after expressing my anger at this Toshiba agreed to offer me a extended warranty at a cost of 166.
I was fuming to say the least Toshibas flagship laptop breaks at 14 month old and I am expected to stump up more money. If I was not desperate as the machine is critical to my work I would have returned the machine to PCWorld under the sales of goods act and it not being fit for purpose.
As that course of action would likely lead to legal proceedings, engineer reports and even more delay than just dealing with Toshiba for a repair, against my better judgement I called back at 11am on 24th April paid the 166 and took Toshiba up on the warranty extension, order number ********** again having to provide correct tel numbers as where once again incorrect, immediately after I reported the faults.
Toshiba Support centre on fault reporting where great noting each issue in detail and raised a collection with UPS for the following day.
The evening of the 24th April whilst I was retrieving data from the laptop in preparation for factory resetting it the machine went into thermal shut-down with a very distinct smell of burning chemical/plastic coming from the rear vents.
It took me over 90 minutes to get the machine cool enough to actually reboot and get my data after this I shut it back down and boxed it up not be used again.
I thought the best course of action would be to report this as it was a fair step up from the previous overheating. Wednesday 25th April at around 9am I called Toshiba to report this and was advised this would have to be dealt with by a head office case manager, as the item had become hazardous thus the collection that would take the laptop to the service centre was cancelled.
At this stage the advisor took my contact numbers again and escalated the case to head office advising at that time that I would be called by HO within 24 hrs.
Thursday 26th April 15:31 Well past the 24 hr mark and no sign of a call so I called support again and spoke to a advisor called Jacob. Jacob advise that HO had indeed tried calling on 01670 ******* this number was my old number, this number was the number I had advised twice already was incorrect and had provided both a correct land-line and mobile number 3 times previously. To say I was annoyed was a understatement.
Jacob attempted to contact Chloe Sontag who was looking after my case but the line just rang out so Jacob advised that he had sent an email asking for Chloe to contact myself.
Friday came and still no contact by 15:00 so I called support who once again tried to patch me to Chloe who's number once again just rang out and again an email was sent asking to call me.
No call by 17:30 so I called tech support again and spoke to Ian asking for head offices number so I could call them direct, Ian provided the number yet advised that HO are now closed.
After expressing my frustration with this whole process and just how critical this machine is to my daily working life Ian promised to look into the case on Monday AM and try and expedite actually getting a phone call to at least start the process of having this laptop repaired.
To say I'm annoyed is really a understatement not only has this failure to receive a simple phone call at least delayed the repair by almost a week but it is costing me more and money daily when I spent a large amount on what I imagined would be a great laptop for 3-4 years and believed Toshiba actually had good customer service in the event something did happen.
My best guess is that Chloe is on holiday or is part time or such like as her phone just rings out and if that is the case then I would question why assign a case to her, if she isn't then I would want to know why after 2 additional mails advising that the customer is not happy and to contact them has there been no contact or are your case workers just so overworked with faulty products that they can't manage the workload ??
So far Toshibas inability to produce a product that last as long as you expect it would has cost me 2 days off work that I am having to make up this weekend thus cancelling prior commitments, 166 extended warranty 600 for a HP laptop that I had to go and purchase yesterday 27th April 2012 to actually perform my work on and who knows how much in phone calls by the time this matter will finally be resolved.
I was happy with Toshiba as a manufacturer and of course laptops can have issues however having now researched these issues far to many Qosmio X500 users report severe overheating just after the 12 month period or within it and many state that repair after repair has taken place but still to no avail, this on top of the cracking of the rear heat-sink guards has to be a design fault.
This letter will not arrive with you before I have hopefully had a phone call and my laptop has at least been collected for repair, If I have not had that phone call then I would expect another letter very shortly.
Why have I wrote this letter ? To express my disappointment with just how poor the durability of your flagship laptop is and also at just how poor your customer service are, 1500 is a lot of money in the PC purchasing scheme of things and to expect this quality of hardware and customer service is simply unacceptable.
I expect the repair to be expedited and if like some of the horror storys I have read online parts required will take 4 weeks + then I would expect a replacement laptop, not everyone uses these things for entertainment and whilst the HP I had to rush out and buy with money I didn't really have available can allow me to perform my core duties to the minimum it cannot allow me to perform my duties to my standards, my employers standards or my expectant communities standards.
This has been a really unfortunate series of events as I had been considering the X870 Ivy Bridge based on the Nvidia 670m Qosmio which would release soon and passing this X500 onto my partner but after these events and the fact that the HP laptop had to come out of the money saved for it then I can categorically state that will not be the case and I will instead opt for the Asus G55 or G75.
If this issue cannot be resolved to a satisfactory manner then I will have no option but to seek an independent engineers report as well as printing the myriad of similar reports of these issues on the internet and return the item to PCWorld.
In line with the sale of goods act 1979 a large electrical item has to be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose for a period of 6 years whilst I wouldn't expect the full 6 years from a laptop I would expect at least 3-4 year especially considering that this is a near 2000 flagship model not a 200 budget model.
This is a action I really do not want to take as it will likely end in small claims court against PCWorld a company that on this occasion has done nothing wrong, I do not believe in punishing those who are not at fault so its a action I really wouldn't be happy with and I'm sure PCWorld one of if not the largest vendor of Toshiba products when you incorporate the rest of the DSG group wouldn't be too pleased with it either.
Frustratingly

So I received my laptop back today after having fans replaced and a good clean as well as the top cover replaced.
Opened the box and took the laptop out 1st thing I noticed was a screw rattling around inside, SIGH!!!!
Plugged the laptop in and attempted to boot it at this point it just cycle through finalisation of windows install and shutdown.
How could a laptop have been tested if it didn't even have windows installed ?
An hour later and I gave up unplugged it and lo and behold it actually booted when on battery only.
I then noticed that the SSD was full, oh wait no it wasn't the head office engineer in his infinite wisdom decided that partitioning a 64GB SSD to 2 drives barely even leaving enough for Windows on the C: and wait for it putting the HDD recovery on the second partition was a good course of action.
So a completely borked install and a screw floating around inside remind me how this particular engineer has a job ??
I spent the next 15 minutes just moving data around and creating and deleting partiitions to fix this mess up.
Grabbed HWMonitor to check temps and at an idle 50c on CPU and 36c on GPU they didn't look too bad,
Installed the Toshiba recommended Nvidia driver a driver I hasten to add that was released in 2010 as Toshiba have not updated the drivers for their flagship series laptop since then, They are happy to take your 1643 that the unit cost but then don't expect support for it.
Anyway that aside I then installed 1 of the games I work on and began to run the machine through our benchmark software wooooosh the temps shot up to 90c+ on both CPU and GPU and remained at this temp for the duration of the benchmark never quite triggering thermal shutdown, I then loaded into a warzone for further testing and sure enough half way through it the machine shut down due to thermal shutdown.
I then uninstalled the toshiba driver and tried a NVidia one sure enough as others have advised actual Nvidia drivers seem worse and thermal shutdown came so much earlier.
I have been to PCWorld today to begin proceedings of returning outside of warranty due to not being fit for purpose or of suitable quality. This is costing me a further 60 and at least 2 weeks more without a proper machine and will likely result in me getting about 1300 back from PCWorld.
So lets do the math on just what this will have cost me by the time its finished.
1634 Original purchase
166 Extended Warranty
600 Backup Laptop whilst this was away for a month
60 outside of warranty assessment
50 phone calls
I will probably receive 1300 back but then 1300 doenst buy me the spec I need for work so I will have to pull out another 300-400 for the required spec so lets add that to the original figures.
A Toshiba Qosmio, Toshibas flagship laptop will have cost me in total 2910 almost double its actual retail price.
I will NEVER buy a Toshiba product again and it will become my lifes mission to let everyone know just how terrible they are.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.
