Hi Jay,
Knowledge of ABAP would be an added advantage to excel in the BW environment.
Perhaps this document can also help you:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4493c4a6-0301-0010-62a2-efd6ded61e04
I would recommend on the following to master BI:
1. Read Datawarehousing books written by Kimbal or Inmon to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts.
2. Follow the SAP training on BW Data Warehousing, BW Reporting and BW Modeling (there are SAP press books that can help with this)
3. Business Information Warehouse Study Guide (Paperback)
by Catherine M. Roze
4.There is also SAP BW Professional Training by Norbert Egger that is a good one.
. Try to grab a little bit of ABAP. Horst Keller book (ABAP Objects) can help.
explore this -

and look for BW books.

Need help moving masters to external drive

Drag images from internal drive to external...
Relocate Masters...
Locate Referenced Files......
I realize these options are available, but I'm wondering which way to do this. Out of 160 GB of images about 1/2 of them are imported into Aperture while the remaining 1/2 are on the Mac but not in Aperture. All images are on my internal drive and I use Aperture as referenced masters, not managed. I need to make space on my internal drive and need to move all images (those already imported and those not yet imported) to an external. Given my current set up (1/2 imported 1/2 not), which option is best for a clean move to the external w/o messing up Aperture?
Thank you,
Jerry

Jerry -- sorry, this thread slipped by. I haven't had the time recently to be attentive.

So, I still need a little help with this. If I have this folder structure on my internal drive and 1/2 of those images are imported into Aperture (but referenced), and I use the "Relocate" feature, how will they be moved? Will it take the folders to the external or just the images, leaving the folders on the internal drive?
I'm afraid to experiment in case it messes things up. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Don't be afraid to experiment -- set up a practice Library and use it to experiment. That's how all of us learned what we know.
2. Your situation is a little peculiar, and I'm going to recommend something I wouldn't otherwise. First, backup your system and confirm your backup. Then go ahead and use Finder to copy all the Finder folders and files in question, intact, to a new drive. Then delete the ones on your system drive. Then open Aperture and run "File➞Locate Referenced Files" to re-attach your Aperture Images to your moved files. You may have to run "File➞Locate Referenced Files" more than once (but most likely not) in order to end up with no Images that have missing Originals. (If you need to, search for posts on the board about using this command.)
At that point, you have done what you set out to do: move all of your photo files to an external drive while retaining the connection between those that are Aperture Originals and their corresponding Images in Aperture.
But you haven't addressed the very good point brought up by bjurasz, which is that you are going out of your way to maintain competing databases. Aperture is a database of your Images. It has _outstanding_ storage and retrieval capabilities. Finder is a database of your files. It doesn't do a tenth the job Aperture does. Finder is a file manager. Aperture is an image manager (that does good file management). Aperture has _terrific_ tools for helping you instantly retrieve _any_ subset of your Images (e.g.: family, spouse, dog, students from 2010, science students from 2010, vacation photos, vacation photos w. spouse, etc.). The key to this is simply tagging your Images (e.g.: grayscale 2010 vacation photos w. spouse and dog) so that you can retrieve them as needed. Importantly, you are not confined to a flat folder structure and whatever information you can stuff into the file name, as you are with Finder. (Yes, more or less -- Finder is actually much more sophisticated than many realize or use.)
I suggest moving more fully into Aperture, learning what tags are available and deciding how to use them, designing an Aperture Library structure that meets your needs, and transitioning your Finder collection of photo files to an Aperture database of Images.
Ask more questions -- might be best to start new threads as they come up.

Need help JDBC masters

Hi everybody;
i'm doing a web app to record TimeIn and TimeOut for the employees of the company...
now each branch of the company has a different timeIn (for ex. 10.00 or 8.00,,) and this is all stored in the DB..
what i'm doing is that i'm taking this time from the MS SQL DB as Timestamp, and getting the current time also as Timestamp...
now the current time is completely correct with the date (ex. 2007-07-22 08:45:00)
but the MS SQL DB Time is becoming like this when retriving it (1900-01-01 08:00:00)..
see...
the time is correct but the DATE !!!!!!
i want to know if the employee is late or not so when ever i'm using this:
currentTime.after(branchTime)
i'm getting true for sure...
now what i thought of doing is away of getting only the time from both Timestamp obejcts and compare it...
but again how to trim this object...
I don't know really.. help me find a solution...
Thanks in advance...
p.s if you need more info. pls inform me...
Q.Najjar (^_^);

Thanks for everyone who tried to think about it...
will i found a soultion for this matter. ..
and to get some exp. here it is:
1- I took the java.sql.Timestamp branchTime and formed into string by calling toString();2- using the substring(int beginIndex) to cut the time and remove the wrong date:
ex. branchTime.toString() = 1900-01-01 08:00:00:0.0so i cut the 08:00:00:0.0 and save it into another String..
3- now i took the current date from java.sql.Datewhich gives correct date, so again i turn it into String and using substring() i took the date like 2007-07-224- the last thing i did was to use the method timestamp.valueOf(String s) which takes the string formed like this YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SSand the string i passed to through the parameter of valueOf(String s) was like this:
s = the date i got in step 3 + " " + the time i got from my DBand here it is a new Timestamp with the right date and it just look like this 2007-07-22 08:00:00:0.0I know it's complicated a bit, but at least i solved it...
hope that somebody would take benfit from this...
Thanks All

I need help switching back to iPhoto

In February of this year I switched from iPhoto to Aperture for very specific reasons. My laptop's hard drive was running out of space, as it was housing my photo library that was quickly approaching 25,000 photos and pushing about 30 Gigabytes, and I wanted to take advantage of Aperture's ability to store photo masters on an external drive.
So why switch back? When I described why I had switched and my experiences doing so back in February I had said that I ran into many problems all of which I was able to solve save two:
"The two things I have yet to solve, which are rather large things: 1) Spotlight can no longer find my photos since switching to [edit: from] iPhoto. I am really not sure where to start with fixing this so I think I’m just going to have to ask someone. 2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'. When I try to access the keywords that are “below” iPhoto Aperture freezes. Perhaps I have too many keywords (I do have an awful lot). I’m not sure how to solve this one yet either. Maybe there is a raw .plist file that I can manually edit (and I am willing to do so)." -- Me.
After using Aperture for the past 3+ months I've yet to resolve either of these issues. Recently there was an update to Aperture from Apple that, according to the documentation for the update, was supposed to help resolve my second issue with having too many keywords for Aperture to handle - but it hasn't helped much. So since switching to Aperture I've not tagged more than maybe fifty photos, which is discouraging because I know that once I switch back to iPhoto I'm going to be busy tagging photos again.
So I suppose you could say I'm switching back for two main reasons. First, I want it to be much easier to tag my photos since that is probably the single most important thing to me and the experience with iPhoto and Keyword Manager ( http://www.bullstorm.se/KeywordManager.php ) is far superior to that of using keywords in Aperture. Second, I want my photos to start showing up in Spotlight searches again. I'm more than willing to deal with the caveat, albeit a rather large one, that I won't have my photos with me wherever I go anywhere but that they'll forever reside on my firewire drive.
What I need help with...
When I open iPhoto I see all of the previews for the photos that I had the day I switched to Aperture. However, the originals have been moved by Aperture onto my firewire drive - so when I click on each photo all I get is a ( ! ) symbol. The previews still reference a file that does not exist yet the iPhoto database still retains all of the relevant metadata (date/time, keywords, comments, etc) that I had worked so hard to put into iPhoto. I need to retain this information and somehow get the originals back into place so that iPhoto sees them again.
What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be. 2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive. 3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
Since I have Aperture store my photos by date - importing only the images that I've imported into Aperture should be a piece of cake. I do not need to retain any metadata from Aperture since I've only tagged a few photos in Aperture and all of the other information I may need should be on the original file (like date taken, etc.). I know I'm going to lose a lot of edits that I've done like cropping, rotating, color balancing, red-eye reduction, etc. but I'm more than willing to lose all of that if it means that I can pick up where I left off and get back into the swing of things in iPhoto.
I've Googled like crazy and haven't found someone doing exactly what I'm trying to accomplish so any help with my current situation is greatly appreciated. I've also posted this on my blog http://cdevroe.com/notes/back-to-iphoto/

2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'.
Bear with me, my terminology may not be right. I'm heading in the opposite direction, and one of the advantages i see to Aperture is that I've got the same advantages in Keyword management as I have with KM in iPhoto.
Have you tried re-organising them using the control bar: Below the thumbs there's a drop down menu, by default it shows Photo Descriptors. Click on it and Select 'Edit Buttons'. You can merrily re-organise your Keywords in this window, and even have your changes reflected in live in the HUD.
As to the Spotlight searching, I'm afraid someone else will need to help on that one. Personally - and it's a regular on the iPhoto forums - I've never had much luck getting Spotlight to search within iPhoto for keywords, apart, of course, from using the search window in the iPhoto Window. I suspect a system-based search of iPhoto keywords is simply not possible.
What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be.
That will work, but they'll need to be exactly as they were.
2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive.
Easily done, after you've copied it over launch iPhoto holding down the option (or alt) key and choose 'Locate'. Navigate to the new location and that''ll be your default iPhoto Library Folder thereafter.
3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
That should work too.
But the key is, can you return the iPhoto Library Folder exactly as it was, otherwise you'll need to create and populate a new library - and that will inevitable mean losing your keywords in iPhoto too.
FWIW, I need to keep iPhoto going for others in the household who are daunted by Aperture. My solution is a referenced library pointing towards the iPhoto Library Folder / Originals folder.

Need help restoring iPhoto 08 Library into iPhoto 11

Ok, I have spent hours trying to figure this out on my own. I'm not being lazy but I need help! I have a black macbook (2009) that had Leopard (not Snow) and iPhoto 08. It crashed. I had a time machine backup on external drive. I got a new hard drive installed and they upgraded me to Lion and iPhoto 11. I messed up and started the system without hooking up to time machine. I tried to use migration assistant. It imported only imported 400 pics of my many thousand pics.
I did several things: I tried to rebuild the library, look for orphans, etc. I deleted the ProjectDBVersion.plist, Projects.db, Projects.db-journal files as someone suggested. I deleted the new iphoto 11 library. i dragged the my old iphoto library from time machine. I held down option and tried to build it again from the old library. I still get the same 400 pics. I even tried the free version of Photo Library Manager. It created the same library with 400 pics. (not sure if I know how to use this app right).
If I open the new iphoto 11 library, I can see my pics in the "Masters" file. I was able to drag these to my desktop and then put in iphoto but does this method save my edits? Should I drag the "Modified" pics into iphoto instead? I don't care much about keywords, I just want my edits. I also don't want old deleted photos put back into iphoto.
another question, time machine (TM) is not turned on yet with new hard drive and OS. it doesn't recognize my external drive as TM. It asks if I want to designate it as TM. If I do this, will it delete my old backup (with all my important data) and start a new backup of my new hard drive which doesn't have all the pics yet.
I don't have a copy of Lion so if I do a complete restore, I will have to buy it and add all info again. Is this my best option? Would it really make a difference?
Terrance, you out there?
Thanks for any help!

It might start backing up your new drive but will not erase what's on it as long as there is sufficient space. Also you can turn on TM and exclude your entire HD via the TM Options pane.
Then go to your Pictures folder and enter Time Machine. Go back to the appropriate date, select the library and use the Restore button.
OT
NOTE: if you have trouble entering TM's backups go to the Lion forum and ask your question there. Also do a search there for Time Machine so see if there are any similar topics there already.

Need help to develop Pythagoras theorem-

Hi i need help to develop proofs 2,3,4
of pythagoras theorems in java as demonstrations
These are applets can anyone help me with it or give me an idea of how to go about developing it -
the site is the following
http://www.uni-koeln.de/ew-fak/Mathe/Projekte/VisuPro/pythagoras/pythagoras.html
then double click on the screen to make it start

Pardon my ASCII art, but I've always liked the following, simple, geometric proof:
     a                   b
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
a|   I   |              II                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
b| IV   |              III               |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+It almost goes without saying that I+II+III+IV == (a+b)^2, and II == IV == a*b,
I == a*a and III == b*b, showing that (a+b)^2 == a^2+a*b+a*b+b^2.
I hope the following sketch makes sense, stand back, ASCII art alert again:     a                   b
---------------------------------------+
|               .             VI         |
|     .                 .                |a
| V                               .      |
|                                        +
|                                        |
|   .                                    |
b|                                     . |
|                                        |
|                  IX                    |
| .                                      |
|                                    .   |b
|                                        |
+                                        |
|      .                                 |
a|               .                  . VII |
| VIII                   .              |
---------------------------------------+
                 a                    bThe total area equals (a+b)^2 again and equals the sum of the smaller areas:
(a+b)^2 == V+VI+VII+VIII+IX. Let area IX be c^2 for whatever c may be.
V+VII == VI+VIII == a*b, so a^2+b^2+2*ab= c^2+2*a*b; IOW a^2+b^2 == c^2
Given this fundamental result, the others can easily be derived from this one,
or did I answer a question you didn't ask?
kind regards,

Need help to open audios attached in a PDF file

Hello
I just need help. I have ordered a reviewer online that has audios and texts in a pdf file. I was told to download the latest adobe reader on my computer. I have done the same thing on my ipad mini. I am not so technical with regards to these things. Therefore I need help. I can access the audios on my computer but not on my ipad.
I want to listen to audios with scripts or texts on them so i can listen to them when i am on the go. I was also informed that these files should work in any device. How come the audios doesnt work on my ipad.
Please help me on what to do.
Thanks

Audio and video are not currently support on Adobe Reader. :-<
You need to buy a PDF reader that supports them. My suggestion is PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99)

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

Weird error message need help..

SO.. i havent updated my itunes in a while because i keep getting this weird message.. it comes up when im almost done installing the newest/newer versions of itunes. it says
"the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
now when ever i choose a file from the browse box it replies with this message "the file 'xxx' is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes. try to find the installation package iTunes.msi in a folder from which you can install iTunes."

With that one, let's try the following procedure.
First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

Installation of Photoshop update 13.1.2 for creative cloud fails with error code U44M1P7 I need help

I need help installing update 13.1.2 for Photoshop creative cloud, installation fails with error code: U44M1P7. Could someone please help?

Sorry to bother you.
I could find the answer after searching previous posts about this language problem.
Had to change my language in AAM profile and then download PS CS6 again ( english version ).
Then open the actual Photoshop and in preferences > interface you can besides the Dutch also option for English.
restart application and Voila.
