Thanks in advance

Hi Natarajan,
To change your field in to PLM you should be aware of Product Development Methodology (CAD/CAM/CAE/New Product Development) activities. To get the complete details about SAP PLM Please go through below link, it will definitely help you to select the appropriate module.

Hi friends moving from ABAP to plm

HI friends i need suggetion , right now iam working in abap
is it possible to move to PLM
my qualifications is chemical engg

Hello Ravi,
with having ABAP and chemical engineering knowledge you have a very good foundation to work in the following areas of PLM:
Recipe Management
Engineering Health & Safety
Process Manufacturing
Industry Solutions: Especially Process Industries (with Oil&aGas, Chemicals), Service Industries (especially Utilities), Consumer Products & Life Sciences.
These industry solutions have all a strong SAP PLM practise.
With this knowledge you also could easily work as Consultant in various companies.
Hope this helps.
Please reward points if helpful.

PLM 7 and Netweaver Enterprise Search

We installed PLM 7.0. We also had an existing TREX server and we set that up to do indexing in ABAP. Now we have a requirement to use PLM UI on the portal and we need the search results to display there. All the docs I have read are basically saying we have to use Netweaver Entrprise Search for any search to work within the portal. Can anyone confirm this? Or maybe does anyone know if its possible to display search results in the portal just using TREX and embedded search.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance.

HI Storm,
We are in the same decision making for moving from TREX 7.0 to 7.1 with Enterprise Search Functionality as we are planning to go for SAP PLM 7.0.
We have gone thru no of documents & presentation which suggest to go for TREX 7.1 for SAP PLM 7.0 (which is access able thru EP or using the NWBC) to take advantage of the Enterprise search functionality.
you can reffer to following notes

Multiple AutoCAD files in one DIR using Cideon integration to SAP PLM

Hi,
We are testing the AutoCAD integration with SAP PLM and so far have been unable to figure out how to work with a DIR that has multiple autocad originals. Specifically, an individual AutoCAD file for each sheet of a multi sheet drawing. Has anybody done this before? Using a different document part for each drawing sheet is not an option for us.
Thanks,
Joseph Whiteley

Hello again,
The available standard 3rd party connector for AutoCAD doesn't support the functionality you have mentioned. It will require special custom enhancements available from same vendor which will cost extra bucks. We ended up using the same solution that John suggested. Create only a single DIR for the entire Multi sheet drawing and use the AutoCAD DWG viewer instead of the ECL viewer, I'm not 100% sure but ECL viewer does not support viewing individual sheets of this single drawing. Last I knew on this topic is that SAP is moving away from ECL viewer to Right Hemisphere not sure what happened though! Also having a single DIR will lead to requiring enhancements while using Conversion engine (for PDF conversion).
We still face troubles when it comes to our change process, approval, and transmittal process.

PM/EAM related questions posted in PLM forum

Hi,
I was going through some of the threads available in PLM forum, but to my surprise, most of the threads posted are related to PM, which should have been posted in EAM forum. It was clearly mentioned by the moderator in one of the sticky thread [PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum|PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum;
Questions regarding Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS) are discussed in the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) forum
forums - posts will be moved to the right forum.
Please ensure your are opening a new thread in the right forum
Despite the clear instructions given my the moderator, PM related questions are still posted to PLM forum and some of the active participant of EAM forum answers these questions in PLM forum. It would be nice if those threads are moved to appropriate forum, so that the relevant informations are available under one forum, also, PLM forum should be monitored regularly and inappropriate threads are to be moved to their respective forum.
Few PM related threads posted recently in PLM forum:
[Change PR for External order|Change PR for External order;
[BAPI or Function Module to Complete Maintenance calls in IP10|BAPI or Function Module to Complete Maintenance calls in IP10;
[delete material from PM order|delete material from PM order;

I had used abuse reports for some, but numbers of such posts are many.

I hate to say this, but I often see the same thing, and I've never been able to figure out exactly what triggers selectability vs. non-selectability, but I suspect some of it has to do with tranparency flattening in particular, and possibly text wrap in cases where that comes into play. ID optimizes the PDF it creates, I think, and that might cause text, or even images, to be broken into chunks in funny ways. It occurs to me that turning off optimzing for fast web view might help in this regard.

Thanks for the response Ron, Sorry for the late response from my side.......
FYI, We are using AGILE PLM 9.3.3. I am asking about is there any document or any process that you know to clone/migrate this Agile from one server to another [Linux 4.6].
I copied Agile from server1 to server2. and I edited all the required files in database side and startup the database. Now the database and the db listener is up and running fine. But I dont know how to configure the Agile application on new server to bring it up. Please help me.

Original Message:
Dear Customers,
we are currently about to discuss a split of the PLM forum in subfolders/subforums because of the mass of components that are wrapped up in PLM.
We want to know which structure you would prefer as a user of this forum.
The aim is to increase the usability of the forum and to decrease the time to find the right thread.
some possible examples:
PLM (using the names)
- Material Master
- Classicifaction
- cFolders
PLM (using the components)
- LO-MD-MM
- CA-CL
- PLM-CFO
PLM (more general attempt)
- LDM
- EAM
feel free to make own suggestions. I am looking forward to your replies.
faithfully yours

Hi All
I am in line with Martina's suggestions. Besides that following is the my proposal
PLM - PS (Project System/Project Management)
PLM - ECM
PLM - DMS
PLM - Classifications
PLM - xAPPs
PLM - cProjects & cFolders
PLM - Material Master
PLM - BOM
PLM - Quality
PLM - Enchancements & Developments
Hope above will be acceptable and request you all to suggest.
One thing I would like to emphasise is that we must have one forum for PLM - PS exclusively. Infact, exclusive PS forums are very rare and to be honest, inspite of working on SAP structures, many of individuals are not aware of existence and part & parcel of "PS Module" within SAP structure.
Enjoy SAP....

I moved iTunes music to my hard drive "D" and now it won't open!

My hard drive "C" was getting somewhat full, so I decided to move my iTunes music files over to my second hard drive "D" (I have a dual hard drive on my computer). When I try and open iTunes, it says, "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder."
I cannot open the "Music" folder, because when I do, it just opens up the same window I was already in when I tried to open it. The main reason I want to open iTunes is so I can reset my iPod because it is not working anymore. The scroll wheel, the hold button, the backlight, and it automatically sleep mode (after not touching it for a couple of minutes) is all that works. I cannot click anything.
I have moved all of my iTunes folders back over to my "C" drive, but it still won't work. I also reinstalled iTunes in the "Music" folder, and it won't work. Basically nothing has worked!

You might find this article useful, don't be put off by the title, the process is substantially similar moving to another internal drive: iLounge - Managing your iTunes Library on an External Hard Drive

Cannot send email from mail after moving to iCloud

I have just moved to iCloud and now I cannot send email but can still receive email

Hi Judy,
Problem solved.
Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Charlie

Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one? If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)? If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not... By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis. You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder. Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library. Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files? How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you. I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

Please help me open an iMovie trailer, moved to my iPad from my PC. I can view it on my iPad but am unable to import it into the app to edit it.

I created a trailer on an iPad at a workshop to use in my classroom. I retrieved it from my PC and can view it on my iPad mini, but the iMovie app won't open it. I need to edit it. Desperately need help. I want to show it to my students tomorrow. Thanks! I've checked other threads here but can't find a solution.

Hi Leica 42,
I never said that a PP file moved to your ipad cannot be straight edited in keynote. Nor did I say that you needed a third party solution...
My response was to offer an option (Jump) because like many others, you're having problems.
Check out the app store and user Keynote reviews. There are more (by 1) 1 star ratings than 5 star ratings for the current version. There are 72 ratings of 3 or more stars while there are 78 ratings of one or two stars. In terms of statistical significance, the numbers are pretty equal, but I prefer to deal with an app that shows more top stars and fewer bottom stars. Some posters have been on here with your same question, so I'm thinking maybe, just perhaps, Keynote is not perfect.
Pro tech reviews vary, many given at the time it was released. Many do not point out that they actually used Keynote before the review. Google Keynote for more pro tech reviews where reviewers have actually used the app.

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Error Message - Moving a Folder

Please help! I just tried to move a folder from my portable hard drive to my MacBook Pro desktop. Therefore, I used the following key combination: "Command + C" and "Option + Command + V". For some reason an error message appears, and I am not able to continue the moving process. I attached the error message as a photo to this question. The Trash actually seems to be completely empty. Nothing seems to be in the trash, and I am not able to remove the error message. When I click "OK" nothing happens. Additional I still can not move the actual file to my MacBook Pro desktop.
Please let me know what to do. Thank you very much for your help.

You can try and find the locked items and unlock them.
Get info (CMD+i), under "General", there's a "locked" checkbox.
Copy and paste is an odd way to move files, but if it works. I'd still rather drag and drop. But maybe that's showing my age (that was not an option until recently).

My ipod touch will no longer download new apps after i updated via apple store.How can i get the updates deleted or correct the problem moving forward?

My ipod touch will no longer download new apps after I updated via apple store.It freezes now when I attempt to download and blanks the app off entirely . How can I reverse the updates or correct the problem moving forward?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try those
