Need to add WinXP to system

I'm currently running Mountain Lion on a 2TB, single partition hard drive.
I need to add a WinXP partition.
Mountain Lion's Bootcamp Assistant only supports Win7.
How can I add a WinXP?
Thanks
-Mike
P.S.
For those on this site who love a mystery, here's one for you.
And for those who can solve it, you'll have my eternal gratitude. :-D
I've attempted going back to Snow Leopard (which is the OS that came on my system when I bought it from Apple 2 yrs ago.)
However, when the install process gets to the point where I choose the disk to install SL on, the installer shows an exclamation icon over it and a message in the installer window says "Mac OS X cannot start up from this disk."
What!?!? This is my one and only startup disk and am always starting up on it.
Ideas?

Thanks Allan and Bob. You've both confirmed my suspicions and helped me decide on a solution.
Here's my theories:
1) In order to maximize efficiency, Apple has chosen not to support WinXP in Lion and later Bootcamp solutions. Otherwise, they would have to provide XP drivers for all of the hardware options available in addition to drivers for Win7, perhaps forcing them to supply and maintain several DVDs. I understand this thinking. I'm thinking that this may be why ML Bootcamp Assistant only supports Win7.
2) I then thought, well, I'll simply add an additional partition to the end of my HD using Disk Utility and install XP on that new partition formatted as FAT32. I'd then insert my XP disk, boot into that disk upon startup using the Option key and then choose this new partition for the install when the XP installer requests that I choose an install partition. The problem I discovered in this situation is that XP cannot see that last partition, precluding me from choosing it as an option for the install (Remember I'm installing onto a partition located at the end of a 2TB drive). Perhaps the XP installer was not built to even detect partitions located at this distance on such a large drive.
This seems to indicate that Bootcamp Assistant for Snow Leopard must provide some mapping scheme when it partitions these large drives that allows XP to see this distant partition during the install process.
3) Ok, I then figured, I'll simply run Snow Leopard's Bootcamp Assistant in Mountain Lion and create and install XP that way. Well, it turns out that SL's Bootcamp Assistant gets confused about the partitioned setup in Mountain Lion and issues a message stating "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". This seems to indicate that ML has altered the partition information on the HD in a way the confuses SL's understanding of it.
4) Finally, I attempted to simply re-install SL by inserting the original DVD supplied with my iMac into the drive, rebooting into that DVD upon startup and then installing from this DVD. Well, this produces the result I described in the P.S. in my first post in this thread.
Well, those are my theories at this point. Any further clarifications or rebuttals? :-D
I think I'll try either Allan's or Bob's (or both) solutions next.
Thanks again.

Hi Jana,
You can refer "Using a Trial SAP HANA Instance" Here is the link SAP HANA Cloud Platform
If you use SAP HANA Studio to connect your SAP HANA instance on HCP, you have to use SAP HANA Cloud Platform SDK to open a DB tunnel first. You can download the SDK from SAP Development Tools for Eclipse

Hi,
I have created on windows service to fetch sharepoint list ad update the list items.
when i run this service in sharepoint server(where the sharepoint site is hosted),it is working fine. If i run the same service in another machine(sharepoint installed in this machine also). it is giving the below error

Hi mallela1,
I also had similar issue couple of months back when I was trying to access a remote URL from a Windows service when the site does not exists in the server where service resides.
You cannot access a remote url (even though it is SharePoint server and also in same network ) from server object model.
SPSite can look in the current server only. here what is happening is SPSite will look for this in the current server DB and it is not finding this errror.
So please dont use ServerObject model for accessing remote sites. You can use Client Object model for the code /requirement you have stated above.
I wasted lot of time in finding a work around to make to work. It did not. So look for other options.

Need to add number of days to users end date.

Hi,
I have a code where we are adding number of days(30) to current date and then updating user's end date in IDM DB.
Now we have a requirement where we need to add number of days(30) to existing end date of user instead of adding to current date.
*public String incrementDate(int daysToAdd)
     // Start date
     log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Enter");
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00");
     Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
     c.add(Calendar.DATE, daysToAdd); // number of days to add
     String newDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());
     log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Exit");
     return newDate;
Have any body implemented this scenario?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Hi Nayan,
Here is the code:
System.out.println("----inside increment date method-----");
          HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String, String>();
          HashMap<String,Date> modifyMap=new HashMap<String,Date>();
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00");
          tcResultSet usrList = null;
     String enddate = null;
     hm.put("Users.Key",usrKey );
     try {
     usrList = this.usrIntf.findUsers(hm);
     usrList.goToRow(0);
     Date endDate =usrList.getDate("Users.End Date");

cal.setTime(endDate);
end date is of type Date and stores users end date from DB. Please help in resolving this issue.

My HD is almost full. I need to add space. Can I use an external HD to continue using my startup disc as it is?

My HD is almost full. I need to add space. Can I use an external HD to continue using my startup disc as it is?
I create music and have run out of space. the message says 'your startup disc is almost full', and i just thought maybe buying an external hard drive and using it as the startup disc or whatever would do the trick. Does anyone know? Thanks!

External hard drives are relatively inexpensive...see some of those on OWC, www.macsales.com
You can use a large external drive to provide additional space by simply saving material to that volume instead of the startup disk. You can also partition the external drive to use part for Time Machine backups, and another partition for extended space. Or a third partition for a clone of the boot system made by Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, both free downloads, so should the internal drive have problems you could always boot from the external partition.
All of that can be done from Disk Utility.
Keep in mind that Mac OS X gets very unhappy when there is less than 15% of the startup disk space free.

Need to add a new release of the segment and maintain that version

Hi All,
I want to add one field in the Z segment type using WE31.But i am getting the error message as
'Current segment definition <segment name> can no longer be changed and The current segment definition
is already released.You can either add a new segment definition or cancel the release of the current segment definition'.
The current segment defenition which i am trying to change got the SAP release of 4.6C. But the system has upgraded to Ecc6 recently.
I tried going to the edit menu and cancel the release, but still it is not allowing.
Whats the impact of the Add button(Add version) and creating a new version?.will it create a new version for ECC6?.
I suggested by that
*You can only edit segments in the current release. You will need to add a new release of the segment and maintain that version with changes. *
If this is right then
How to do this settings
regards,

'Add version' use this option - a new version will be created in the current release.
then add your field to that and relase it again.

Is there any way to solve this problem?Try this link - [http://pscode.org/jh/bin/helpsetter-apidocs.jnlp]. It is sand-boxed, like an applet. It should prompt if you want to create shortcuts, click OK/Yes.
After you run it, open the 'All Programs'/system menu. There should be an item under the 'JavaHelp System' menu for the 'JavaHelp System JavaDocs'. That link is to launch the application again. [Java Web Start|http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_webstart.xml] *(<- link)* is what installs the menus. JWS can also install menus specifically for application help.
Older applications declared the required menu items and desktop shortcut in the JNLP launch file, but JRE 1.6.0_18+ offers the IntegrationService *(<- link)* to applications, and provides feedback on success/failure. Note that some systems will ignore requests for desktop integration. Ubuntu Linux will allow for the creation of desktop shortcuts, but silently ignore requests for menu items.

How to use OMJX transaction? Need to add an additional field on MIGO item

hi guys
we need to add a new field on the MIGO screen at the item level. We are trying to explore OMJX to add custom fields.
We have used append structutre to enhance the GOITEM structure but are not clear on how to use OMJX.
ANy idea how to use the transaction OMJX.
Thanks in advance

With the Business Add-In (BAdI) MB_MIGO_BADI, you can extend the
interface of the goods movements transaction (MIGO) with additional
tabstrip controls for the detailed information (detail tabstrips) and
header information (header tabstrips). It is possible for an external
application
o to display an additional detail tabstrip with own subscreen (max. 10
   lines) in MIGO
o to display an additional header tabstrip with own subscreen (max. 3
   lines) in MIGO
The program name, screen number and tab page text can be determined
dynamically. Different screens can therefore be controlled according to
the mode (for example, change mode, display mode, goods receipt, goods
issue).
Pushbuttons
It is not possible to implement pushbuttons in the MIGO menu, but you
can, however, implement pushbuttons directly on the external subscreen.
The OK code from MIGO is forwarded to the external application so it can
react.
Cursor Control
So that the cursor stays on the same subscreen after you press Continue,
if it was positioned there before, the external application in the own
PAI must hold the cursor positioning (on the same screen 'yes'/'no'; if
'yes', on which field), to set the cursor in PBO again.
Requirements
If you use the BAdI MB_MIGO_BADI in MIGO to update customer-own data, in
addition to the material document, to the database, you should note the
following:
o The BAdI MB_MIGO_BADI is only active in transaction MIGO.
o If you post goods movements with other transactions (for example, with
   MB01, MB1C, VL02N), you must ensure that customer data is also
   updated, if necessary.
   You can do this by using the BAdI MB_DOCUMENT_BADI (Creating a
   material document) to post the goods movements with the transactions
   mentioned above.
o Note that otherwise, posting the goods movements will lead to
   inconsistencies between SAP system data (for example, in stocks,
   material documents, FI documents) and customer data.

Need to add Polish option to character set menu in SAP Gui

Basis Gurus,
We have installed the Polish language on our unicode R/3 system and now
need to add it as a character set option in the Gui menu.
Menu Path:
Customize Local Layout --> Character Set --> (Missing Option for Polish)
I have searched OSS and online resources and have not found out how to
add an entry in this menu.
I did alter the file frontEN.txt in which the menu entries are built,
but did this not add the entry.
Can you please advise on the procedure to add this entry. Our
developers need it to view special Polish characters in their SapScript.
Thanks,
Jeff Martens

Deepak,
Thanks for the reply. I've read that document before, it's helpful with some of the I18N settings, but does not explain how to add a language to the "character set" menu.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Jeff
