MSS Appraisal Use Copy or Delta-linked copy of iView

We are using EP 7.01 on ECC 6 EHp4 and in the process of implementing MSS 1.41.
In order to use position to position in the appraisal process we need to make a Z copy of the application HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS. and then make an iView with the Z application.
We need to know which is best to use - a copy of the appraisal iview or a delta linked copy of the appraisal iview.
Thanks,

These links are very useful and helpful.
The question is If we delta link a copy of the iView and change the Applicaiton property, will that show the Z copy of the application? and when SAP updates the original iView will that erase the changed property in the delta linked copy.
If we only make a copy then for every SP or EHp we will have to check the copy of the iview with the original iview.
Thanks,

FPN Remote Delta Link - Bex Web - Iview Preview Error

We created a remote delta link in the Consumer Portal for Bex Web Iview from the Producer portal. The preview of the iview in the consumer portal fails with the following error:

Producer Portal - User data source is BI ABAP Backend
Consumer POrtal - User data source is LDAP
I have tested SSO both ways and it works:
Logged in to Consumer -> switched URL to producer --> switched back to consumer
Still looking at the default trace it looks like some how the end user is not recognized during the switch.
Any help/direction is much appreciated.
Thanks
Shabna

Dao,
Thanks for taking the time.
Versions:
Producer BI portal - NW 7.0 EHP1 SP6 (BI_JAVA SP8 Hotfix 12)
Consumer Portal - NW 7.0 EHP1 SP7 (BI_JAVA SP8 Hotfix 12)
BIUSER exists on both:
Producer - BIUSER is an ABAP user in the BI Backend
Consumer - BIUSER is the SAMAccount Name of AD account BISUER@<company.com>
SSO works both ways.
I checked the thread you mentioned. Though the error in the default trace is the same, I am using FQDNs everywhere and the correct P4 ports. I am able to telnet using the P4 ports between the two portals. The FP connection tests also work.
Thanks
Shabna

How many roles delta link a particular iview

Dear experts,
sir, i a creating a iview and i assign this iview to many roles by using delta link.
My problem is that is it possible to find that how many roles with their names we delta link that iview.
please help.............

Hi Mousam,
If you want to know the roles that are connected with a particular iview, open the iview object and then select delta link tracer from the display dropdown > select show delta link dependants radio button and you'll see all the dependant objects.

Federated Portal - ESS/MSS remote content copy / remote delta link mode

Hello,
We have established an Federated Portal Network between two Enterprise Portal systems.
The Consumer System is an Netweaver Enterprise Portal, the Producer also an Enterprise Portal installation + XSS.
We use remote role assignment and remote delta link functionality between this two systems.
We have an request to enable BI JAVA Iviews on the consumer and as transitive content sharing is not provided, we would like to copy the ESS/MSS roles as remote content copy/remote delta links from the producer XSS system to the consumer system.
When we try to copy the ESS or MSS roles the copy process end with the following error message :
"Due to an unexpected error the action will be canceled"
The remote content copy/remote delta link usage mode is working correct on other roles
Is this a restiction that ESS/MSS roles can not be used in remote delta link mode ?
Is there an workaround for such usage type ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Remote Delta Link vs Direct Link - Federated Portal

Hi, We couldn't get our Remote Delta Links to work on our Enterprise Portal so we just built a direct link to our IViews. This link goes through the Enterprise Portal and to the IView on the BI Portal. (Points to the Producer on the Consumer) This works great. My only question is if I can build a direct link to my IViews what is the benefit of Remote Delta Links that became available as of SPS10? Just a shorter link?
Thanks!

Yes it is a 'shorter' link doing it direct, however it is more flexible to use a remote delta link (when making changes). You also get the benefit of user personalisations being attached to the view on the consumer portal (rather than the producer). Its slightly cleaner when it comes from transporting or cloning a whole PCD as well. Thats is my basic understanding anyway

Basic Question on Copy and Delta link which one to use when?

Hi
Its basic question
My understanding about copy and Delta link is
Copy doesnot ahve direct relationship with source object (but it acts as a sibling) any changes done to spurce object does not affect target object.
Where as Delta link will have a parent child relation ship between source object bacially its a copy of source and inherits id properties. in case if i change source object does this affect target object, we can delete, add content to delta link target object.
let's say if i want to use standard quickpoll iView do i need to use copy or delta link similarly for other iviews, worksets, roles which one will be better.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
Yes, your understanding is right.
Case 1 : Copy
A- Object
B- Copy of A
Both of them are independent.Any changes in A are not dependent on B and vice versa.
Case 2 : Delta Link
A - Object
B - Copy of A (via Delta link)
Any changes to A are reflected in B, as A is a parent and B a child.
But B would be an independent entity.Any changes to B would not effect A.
When you use either of them, depends on your need. When you are working with standard iviews or roles or workset, you can do a copy of the original, because in most cases we would not make changes to the standard roles or worksets or iviews. There by eliminating the process of making a delta copy.
But, if you are dealing with the roles that you have created and want to make a copy of it, you can use a delta link, because, even if you want to add more iviews and worksets to that role, they would get reflected when you make a delta copy.
Hope that helps.

Dabase link while using copy command in Oracle 9i

Hi,
Is it must to have a database link while copying data between two databases in Oracle 9i using COPY command?
I am using the copy command like following:
SQL> copy from xxx/xxx@xyz to abc/abc@stu insert Table using select * from Table
Database link is always required in Oracle 9i to copy data ?
rgds,
Karna

When you use the copy command, all you need is that both databases are in the tnsnames.ora file and you can commect using the username/password#sid string. The copy command doesn't use the DBlink.

UWL - delta linked copy of iView

Hi Experts,
We have customized a delta link copy of the standard UWL iView and add this delta link copy to several role (delta linked too). We have NW 2004s (SPS15).
As I could see in NW 2005 HowTo guide from SAP that UWL personnlized iview should only be copy (and not delta link copy), which problem could occurs due to delta link copy?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,
Could you try to set the log level ALL for com.sap.portal.fpn and its subtree (From log configurator service in Visual Administration)?
Then see the log messages in the default.trc logs and possibly post them to this threads.

Installing used copy of Final Cut Studio 2

Hello,
I've been reading around the net and haven't been able to find a very clear answer as to what happens when you buy and install a used copy of Final Cut Studio. I understand that the program can be sold as soon as it is completely uninstalled from the seller's machine, but it's what happens after that on the buyer's machine that I am dealing with.
It is important to note that I am dealing with full versions of the program, not upgrades (nor do I have to option to consider them in my situation).
These are my questions;
1. When the buyer (me) installs the seller's used copy of Final Cut Studio 2 will I be able to install the program on both a desktop & laptop like when the suite is new (this is vital because I am getting a new laptop and need studio on both machines)?
2. If (for some unknown reason) the seller's used copy of FCS2 doesn't install, can I install FCS HD without any problems?
3. If for some reason FCS2 isn't completely uninstalled from the seller's machine will it impede my installation process of FCS2?
Any info you can give me in regard to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. It is a bit time sensitive (not that I have a deadline but I need to do this asap) so immediate responses would be amazing.
Thanks,
~ JoeA

Thank you for your quick response David!
1. Great! Glad that worked out.
2. When I say FCS 2 I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro 6, DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 3, LiveType 2, Soundtrack Pro 2, Color, Compressor 3. I'm pretty sure it will play nicely with a new intel machine.
When I say FCS HD I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro (5.1.4), DVD Studio Pro, Motion 2, and Soundtrack Pro, and Compressor 2. This version (5.1) was made to work with intel machines.
3. Thank you also for providing the link! I definitely want to make sure this is legal.
Much appreciated

DELIVERY How to use copying control to control print process?

Hi All,
I recieved a request as this when material no. is 111, then do not auto print the delivery note out.
Delivery note output type is ZXXX.
So is there any idea to use copying control to control this ?
Thank you in advance.
Richard

Hi there,
No need of copy controls for this. Delivery note is printed from delivery. So why do you need copy controls?
When defining O/p determination procedure for your O/p ZXXX, in the requirement routine, check the values of LIPS-MATNR. If LIPS-MATNR = 111, donot print the delivery note for that item (LIPS-POSNR). I guess you will need to define a new Z routine for this. Dont change the standard routine.

Installing a used copy of photoshop CS4 onto my macbook air?

I just bought a new macbook air and want to install a used copy of adobe photoshop CS4 onto it. I purchased it off of craigslist and it has the install CD. Obviously I cant use this on my air. I do have a desktop mac with an optical drive if that helps to transfer somehow. Thanks in advance!

Here is Adobe's statement on Lion Compatability.
As crh24 pointed out you may also have trouble activating it if ownership wasn;t transferred properly.
