Newb Question here! What is SAP?

Is SAP a set of development Tools? like Oracle APEX or GT although not limited to the oracle Database technologies ?
I have been looking about and find it very difficult to find a section for people wanting to find out about what SAP is.
Many thanks
David

Welcome David. You've just had the benefit of getting a very good answer to an exceedingly broad and difficult question from one of the most ardent and active members of our community, Blag, so you are in good hands although you probably wouldn't know that if you are totally new here.
On the website http://www.sap.com you would find an introduction to SAP the company, its history, and its products. There you can read the more explanatory and historical and company side of "what is SAP" found, for example: [here|http://www.sap.com/about/company/history.epx].
But to distinguish that flavor of "What is SAP", from what you might expect here is perhaps less simple to point you to. You have come to the website of the SAP Community Network, (the SAP Developer Network(SDN) and Business Process Expert Community(BPX)), which represents the community side of SAP, its customers, users, developers, partners, business process professionals, employee contributors. It's a social and learning framework. That's the people side of the equation. People using tools and products and sharing knowledge about these inter-enterprise business solutions. And in the coffee corner, which is this forum you have posted to just now, you will also find folks sometimes just chatting about the state of the industry or the quality of the conversation. To understand what that means, you are invited to stick around, visit forums, search for content, listen, ask. Welcome David to SDN and BPX.

Newbie question here on Time Capsule

Hello Everyone
I searched the forum for this, but I couldn't find it so I will ask it here. I recently started thinking of getting a time capsule for my iMac. But here is my question. From what I understand it is a router as well. I already have a router (NetGear WNR834B v2) connected to my broadband. Is it possible to just have the time capsule connect to my current wireless network? Or would I be forced to trash my current router and just use the Capsule? I am not looking to extend the range of my wireless router, the time capsule will be in the same room as my router at any rate, I just dont want to have to run wires all over my room! Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy

Hello holepunch. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
i have a pc & a mac, the pc has the modem & router hooked up to it & my mac picks it up wirelessly. i have bought a time capsule and am wondering, does it replace my existing router? or do i hook it up to the router and then to the pc?
You actually have several options and will really depend on what you are trying to accomplish with your network. I assume that your PC is wired-only and the iMac can either be wired or wireless ... correct? Will both computers be in the same location? Is the current modem & router co-located with the computers?
What would you like the Time Capsule (TC) to do? Just provide a destination for Time Machine backups? ... or you would like to use it as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device? ... or both?
Since your post is similar but different than the OP's, I suggest that you start a new post and describe your current network with greater details, like the make/model of all of your network devices, and what you will like to do with the TC. Thanks!

Newbie question here re: character styles

Greetings,
I am a newbie with regards to InDesign, so bear with me.
I know that I can create styles in the usual way, but can I also create a style by using an existing piece of text and saving it's attributes?
Thank you very much.

Yes. Just click in the formatted text and create the style.

Okay newbie question here.

I am about to start pulling my hair out. I have my new mac here, my new copy of logic express 7 , my new m-audio keyboard and a whole lot of music in my head ready to go on the screen. My problem is i have read and read through the manual (reads like an alien wrote it). I have done my searches on this site also for all my answers and no help either, spent 2 days trying to figure this out, this is my last resort. I have used garage band now and everyhting is so simple to use plug in and go. In logic obivously its not. The computer sees the keyboard but no sound is heard. Im not that great at this yet so can anyone help me. I have gone and ordered the logic training books but they wont be here for a while and would like to start doin something with all this equipment. I need a pretty simple explanation of what i am doin wrong or right. i have tried everything. thank you for all your help .

No sound coming out. This could be one of 2 things.
1. midi data in the Arrange/matrix edit window is not going to a software instrument. You will need to insert an instrument on the channel strip. Try opening a garage band file, one that works in GB. Do you get sound now? You should because the GB file will open the appropriate software instruments to get the same sounds as you had in GB. If not then
2. Under the Audio menu you need to select your hardware drivers. This is basically the same as in Audi/Midi setup, but if you have something wrong here the sound won't go to your sound card. In essense, Logic can send to an output other than the ones set up in Audio/MIDI setup, so you need to make sure Logic is sending it where you want it to go.

Newbi question re what do I do next

Situation: I own multiple Palm devices III,IIIc and would like to convert to a smart phone but I have the following requirements:
1. unlocked so that I can use it in the EU, USA and Canada on pay-as-you-go plans on a GSM network
2. Able to synch with the current 4.1.4 desktop or provide an easy migration path
3. Provide a GPS or AGPS facility
4. Provide a Compass facility
5. Provide software and charts which can be used to navigate in Norway/Iceland/Greenland waters
The closest I can get is an IPhone if I convert to Outlook ... not preferred due to price and unlock problems. I have been a Palm user for over 20 years and would like to continue using the product brand if a solution is available. Ideas?

In general, the classes in APP-INF/classes can reference other classes
loaded by the application classloader. This commonly includes jar files
in APP-INF/lib and EJBs. By default, classes in web-applications are
loaded by child classloaders so they would not be seen.

Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

Dumb newbie question, here it goes...

Hello all!
I'm sure this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but,
how do you define the page dimensions in CS3?
I have found the thing at the bottom of the page, with the
drop down menu, but this does not seem to lock the size.
I just want my pages to be veiwable in 800x600 and whenever i
check it on the web my background comes up as a series of tiles.
!!!Please help!!!
Thanks very much guys and girls for looking and any help will
be much appreciated!!

> define the page dimensions in CS3?
You don't. You build your page so that no contiguous adjacent
content on it
is wider than the smallest browser viewport width you want to
support
without dropping horizontal scrollbars. And, you don't worry
about height
at all. The shape of the contents determins height.
> I have found the thing at the bottom of the page, with

> but
> this does not seem to lock the size.
That's correct. It only adjusts the size of your document
viewport to the
selected values so that you can see how your page fits in
those dimensions.
I rarely use it (actually, never).
> I just want my pages to be veiwable in 800x600 and

> the

Well, no, you want your page to be seen in an 800px wide
browser viewport
without a horizontal scrollbar. Actually you would want to
make the page
about 760px wide to fit on a maximized browser window on an
800x600 screen.
> and whenever i check it on the
> web my background comes up as a series of tiles.
Of course - that's how backgrounds work. They tile to fill
the available
space. If you do not want them to tile, then you have to tell
the browser
not to do that. The best way is to use CSS and the
'background-repeat'
style, e.g.,
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
(this will prevent any background image applied to the body
tag from
repeating (or 'tiling').
> !!!Please help!!!
Get a good (or even a mediocre) book on HTML and CSS and
spend some time
with it. DW will be ever so much easier after doing that.

What's SAP Router String for?

Hi,
I can not find proper module for me to post this message, so I post it here.
When we create a new item in the SAP logon screen , we need to specify the following parameters:
1) System description
2) Message server
3) SAP Router String (optional)
4) System ID
5) System Number
4) Group
My question is, what's SAP router string for? How to define a new SAP router string?
Because sometimes we don't need to input SAP router string, and we can still logon to the system successfully.
So, If I need to create a new SAP router string, where to define?
Thanks.

Hi
A route string describes the stations of a connection required between two hosts. A route string has the syntax
(/H/host/S/service/W/pass)*
It consists of any number of substrings in the form /H/host/S/service/W/pass .
A route string contains a substring for each SAProuter and for the target server.
Each substring contains the information required by SAProuter to set up a connection in the route: the host name, the port name, and the password, if one was given.
Syntax for substrings:
· /H / indicates the host name‑{}‑
Note that the host name must be at least two characters long.
· /S/ is used for specifying the service (port); it is an optional entry, the default value is 3299
· /W/ indicates the password for the connection between the predecessor and successor on the route and is also optional (default is u201Cu201D, no password)
In earlier Releases (<4.0A), the password entry was made one substring later and with the letter /P/.
New: /H/saprouter/W/pass/H/targetserver
Old: /H/saprouter/H/targetserver/P/pass
(Here pass is the password which is checked by the SAProuter on host saprouter to set up or prohibit the connection from the source host to the target host.)
Due to downward compatibility, the old password entry form is still possible.

Newbie question about saving files

Hi all,
A newbie question here, and maybe it is a dumb question, but I can't get my head around this and sofar found no answer in the forums here.
When I save a file on my macbook, I can only save it to "top" folders.
What I mean is I try to save a file for instance to documents/worddocs/lyrics just to say something, then I have to save the file first to documents, and the move it to the lyrics folder via finder or move it to :worddocs folder and then move it again to the lyrics folder. Hope you still get my drift here
Is there a way to just save it to the subfolders without going through all this moving around?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Peter

When you click File>Save As, you will see the Save As window pop up. At the top, you will see a box entitled Save As, which has a space for your to enter the file name. To the right of this box is an arrow pointing down. Click it. The full file hierarchy will be seen. Then you can save directly to the file you want.
Hope this helps.

Dumb newbie question -- shell vrs linux console

This is probably a dumb newbie question, but what is the difference between the shell screen and the linux console screen? I used another system before Arch and I believe there was only the shell screen! Does it matter which one is used? Thanks -- Larry

The console is the 2D text rendering thing. The shell is Bash, just a program that handles your input and has the console as output.
If on the other hand you mean the console at startup, and you call that the console while you call xterm, etc. shells then the answer is different. It's just a matter of configuration if you automatically start X or not. A lot people use gdm or kdm to get a graphical login screen after bootup, others just type "startx" in the console when they want to start X.
You can switch to the console with Ctrl+Alt+Fn where n is a number between 1 and 6. You can switch between consoles with Alt+Fn, X is on the last console, so to go back to X do Alt+F7.

What should be considered a basic question here?

Hey folks I want some feedback on why type of questions we should consider basic in this forum? I have noticed in the last several weeks the questions here appear to be easily answered from wiki articles or the new book on the SAP Webclient programming.
Instead of me however throwing down the moderator axe, I want the community to decide the type of questions that should be locked or moved to a "basic questions" forum.
Given that the CRM Webclient is now a relatively mature product and the available materials to learn have increased, this should be fair request.
In order to ensure that you respond I'm going to give my thoughts on what should not be allowed
- Any topic covered in detail in the CRM wiki page here unless you need a clarification is subject for lock
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWebClientUIFramework
or
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CustomerRelationshipManagement
Especially questions on how to add a new field, EEWB, AET, or dropdown boxes
- Any topic asking for definition of terms is subject for a lock(i.e something that can be answered via help.sap.com)
- If has already been answered before, then I would propose the following:
1) Post the link in the thread
2) OP responds whether that solved the issue
3) Thread is locked from further discussion and awarding (to avoid rward hunting)
Based on your feedback my goal is to implement the "stricter moderation" post Teched Las Vegas or around October 1st, 2011. I would expect further changes to moderation style as SCN moves to a new platform and moderator tools are improved.
Take care,
Stephen
CRM Forum Moderator

Stephen,
Basically queries like "How To xyz" which are already there on the WiKi should be moved to Basic Questions. These are the queries which are being raised by Consultants who are either new TO CRM or new to SDN or both.
1. How to enhance a Web UI COmponent
2. How to create a Drop Down
3. How to create a F4 Help
4. How to modify the Search Criteria.
5. How to add a Attribute from AET/EEWB
6. How to Create a Assignment block for a Z table.
7. How to default values in Drop Down
8. How to do dynamic navigation
9. How to create Navigation Links for Navigation between 2 Components
10.How to get business Partner ID from sy-uname
11. How to Value node.
12. How to create a BOL
13. How to create a Pop Up View
14. How to get values from Pop up view to the calling View.
I guess these are few basic queries which are being asked N number of times and has been answered twice as many a times.
Reading material and Tutorials are also sought by New CRM consultants which ideally should not be the case.

Hello, try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

What is iLife (and other newbie questions

googled this and went to several other sources (wikipedia, apple search) but could not find any good definitions for these terms (at least that a mac newbie could understand)    what is: 1) iOS 2) iLife 3) since i don't own any apple devices other than my mac, could i assume that iOS wouldn't apply to me.
I just recently went from OS X 10.8 > 10.9.1 Maverick and from garage band 10.6 > 10.9.1    GB 10.9 is a whole new world - hardly anything's the same. there were plenty of tutorials and videos for GB 10.6 but i'm having trouble finding one for 10.9.     can anyone point me in the direction of a tut or video . a link would be most app.
as always thanks in adv

I just recently went from OS X 10.8 > 10.9.1 Maverick and from garage band 10.6 > 10.9.1    GB 10.9 is a whole new world - hardly anything's the same.
GarageBand 10 is a very different program, it is more similar to Logic than to GarageBand '11. Also it does not (yet) support the same functionality as GarageBand '11, as you noticed. If you have GarageBand '11 projects, that you want to continue to work with, don't delete the GarageBand '11 installation. The installer will have moved it to a subfolder of Applications. You can continue to use it, even with GB 10.0 installed.
There is not yet much documentation on GB 10.0.
Start with the GarageBand online Help: GarageBand 10.0 Online Help
There is also a short tutorial on the Bullets & Bones GarageBand FAQ:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#multitrackrecordinggbv10
A "must have" for GarageBand 10 is HangTime's terrific effect finder:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/File%20Pages/GBEffectFinder.html
This neat utility will tell you, which effects are available for which kind of instrument track.
I'd be lost without this tool.

Newbie question: ""dynamic"" casting

Hello all,
 
I have a quite newbie question. I have this class hierarcy:
 
A
|_A1
|_A2
|_A3
|_A4
|_A5
|_.....
 
in some part of my code I have this:
 
if (object1 instanceof A){
if (object1 instanceof A1) {A1 object2 = (A1) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A2) {A2 object2 = (A2) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A3) {A3 object2 = (A3) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A4) {A4 object2 = (A4) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A5) {A5 object2 = (A5) e;}
object2.callMethod();
 
Is there any way to do this type of casting just in one line? I mean, I just want to cast object1 to the class it is instanceof. If it is instance of A1, I want to be casted to A1, if it is A2 to A2, etc...
 
Thanks you in advance.

In fact I know what object1 is on execution time,Which doesn't help your compiler at all, when it's task to link and verify method calls.
because the code posted at the top is working well, i just want to avoid repeating that if's for all the new classes Ax I will create. Big "code smell" here.
In other words if i had from A1 to A200 i dont want to have 200 if's to cast it to the class it is and then execute it's method.You could call the method "doMagic()" and make it abstract in A. Then you can implement it in all Ax classes and would never have to worry about casting in the first place, because A.doMagic() would automagically do the right thing. Polymorphism.
