NewGL Rollup still relevant or enhanced with Simple Finance?

Hi Gurus,
I am studying the implementation of Simple Finance and wonder whether the NewGL rollups are still relevant?
My requirement is to agregate, transform and control data before transfer to the consolidation plateform.
Do you know if there is any enhanced or new solution that can fulfill this requirement?
If I can use the same function, do you know if it has been developped on Hana DB and benefit from Hana capabilities?
I try to find detailed help documentation about Simple Finance (custo & functional) but I am not sure to find the good one, could you help me finding it.
Best regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
here is the link to the documentation for the Simple Finance add-on 1.0: http://help.sap.com/sfin100
For your requirement of aggregation and transformation prior to transfer into consolidation, we still recommend using the "classical" approaches of roll-up ledger, extraction to SAP Business Warehouse, or SAP Financial Information Management.
Best regards,
Stefan

What's the new addition to reporting with simple finance?

Hi, 1. Embedded BI reporting(BI queries) 2. Net Weaver Based reports 3. H reports (like FBL*H) 4. HANA live reporting All the above reporting options are available with HANA, but what’s new with simple finance; please correct me if my understanding is not correct. I can only see SAP Fiori Dashboard apps which are new with simple finance. I hope somebody can clarify my doubt Rgds Murali

Hallo Murali,
given to the architecture
you have various UX option as described below. We provide various new Operational Reporting Applications e.g. for Manager(KPI Reporting) or Controller(Interactive Drill Down). In addition we have embeeded now reporting in our applications where its useful.
Of course the classical GUI reporting is still working as well. For FBL*H we have Fiori applications in addition. e.g. Customer, Vendor and Account Line Items or Financial Statement. You find more information about the available applications here.

Simple Finance with NewGL document split

Hi Gurus!
With the "S for Hana" appraoch I am wondering if Simple finance includes NewGL Document split combined reporting views?
Will I be able to analyse my line items including FI & CO dimensions before and after GL document split?
In other words, is simple Finance able to give access to BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA? in the same view?
I am also not sure about the reporting tool giving access to these views: I know for sure that Hana live will give this access but would I be able to access these combined views with other reporting tools like ECC querries (SQVI), standard ALV reporting (FAGLL03...)?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards
Pascal

Pascal,
NewGL features available in sfin depends on whether new GL was activated in FICO before the migration to sfin.
If you're migrating from FICO with new GL and document split activated, then the behaviour will be the same in sfin as before.
If you're moving directly from classic GL, there are limitations on the new GL features in sfin: There is no document splitting (to be delivered in the roadmap in Q4) . If you wanted documents split now in sFIN, you would have to migrate first in new GL, activate the document split, and then migrate to sfin.
In sfin v1.0, BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA remain as table. This will however change in v2.0.
In sfin 1.0, there is a logical FICO document, but still 2 physical documents remain. As well, this will evolve in v2.0.
Finally, regarding reporting, some transactions have been replaced by Fiori apps. When this is the case, the transaction is no longer available, and you get a pop up window inviting you to go to the Fiori launchpad. Otherwise, the access to the old transactions remains. With the delivery of the newer versions of sfin, more and more transactions will move to Fiori.
Hope it helps,
Arnaud

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable?

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable? I bought it about four or five years ago and never started learning it, but would like to start learning editing now. Thanks.

That is the version I have. What formats can I work with in FCP 5.1. For example, can I edit movies from my Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot that is about five years old? My Panasonic DV camera that is also about five or six years old? Will I be able to burn these types of footage to disc once edited and watch them on a DVD player. Thanks for your former replies.

BDC CALL TRANSACTION steps with simple example

Hi,
BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION
About Data Transfer In R/3 System
When a company decides to implement the SAP R/3 to manage business-critical data, it usually does not start from a no-data situation. Normally, a SAP R/3 project comes into replace or complement existing application.
In the process of replacing current applications and transferring application data, two situations might occur:
? The first is when application data to be replaced is transferred at once, and only once.
? The second situation is to transfer data periodically from external systems to SAP and vice versa.
? There is a period of time when information has to be transferred from existing application, to SAP R/3, and often this process will be repetitive.
The SAP system offers two primary methods for transferring data into SAP systems. From non-SAP systems or legacy system. These two methods are collectively called ?batch input? or ?batch data communication?.
1. SESSION METHOD
2. CALL TRANSACTION
3. DIRECT INPUT
Advantages offered by BATCH INPUT method:
1. Can process large data volumes in batch.
2. Can be planned and submitted in the background.
3. No manual interaction is required when data is transferred.
4. Data integrity is maintained as whatever data is transferred to the table is through transaction. Hence batch input data is submitted to all the checks and validations.
To implement one of the supported data transfers, you must often write the program that exports the data from your non-SAP system. This program, known as a ?data transfer? program must map the data from the external system into the data structure required by the SAP batch input program.
The batch input program must build all of the input to execute the SAP transaction.
Two main steps are required:
? To build an internal table containing every screen and every field to be filled in during the execution of an SAP transaction.
? To pass the table to SAP for processing.
Prerequisite for Data Transfer Program
Writing a Data Transfer Program involves following prerequisites:
Analyzing data from local file
Analyzing transaction
Analyzing transaction involves following steps:
? The transaction code, if you do not already know it.
? Which fields require input i.e., mandatory.
? Which fields can you allow to default to standard values.
? The names, types, and lengths of the fields that are used by a transaction.
? Screen number and Name of module pool program behind a particular transaction.
To analyze a transaction::
? Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.
(You can determine the transaction name by choosing System ? Status.)
? Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.
? On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.
(dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)
? Display these by choosing System ? Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.
The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.
? For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.
Note the following information:
- The field name for batch input, which you?ll find in its own box.
- The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.
? Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).
Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.
In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.
You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.
Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing.
DATA TRANSFER program.
Declaring internal table
First Integral Table similar to structure like local file.
Declaring internal table like BDCDATA
The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.
The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. You can use the same structure for all types of batch input, regardless of whether you are creating a session in the batch input queue or using CALL TRANSACTION.
This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction. The typical processing loop in a program is as follows:
? Create a BDCDATA structure
? Write the structure out to a session or process it with CALL TRANSACTION USING; and then
? Create a BDCDATA structure for the next transaction that is to be processed.
Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.
The screen identifier record is followed by a separate BDCDATA record for each value, to be entered into a field. These records use the FNAM and FVAL fields of the BDCDATA structure. Values to be entered in a field can be any of the following:
? Data that is entered into screen fields.
? Function codes that are entered into the command field. Such function codes execute functions in a transaction, such as Save or Enter.
The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:
? PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.
? DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.
? DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to ? ? (blank) for all other records.)
? FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.
? FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.
Transferring data from local file to internal table
Data is uploaded to internal table by UPLOAD of WS_UPLOAD function.
Population of BDCDATA
For each record of internal table, you need to populate Internal table, which is similar to BDCDATA structure.
All these five initial steps are necessary for any type of BDC interface.
DATA TRANSFER program can call SESSION METHOD or CALL TRANSACTION. The initial steps for both the methods are same.
First step for both the methods is to upload the data to internal table. From Internal Table, the data is transferred to database table by two ways i.e., Session method and Call transaction.
SESSION METHOD
About Session method
In this method you transfer data from internal table to database table through sessions.
In this method, an ABAP/4 program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores the data in session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data using normal SAP transaction i.e., Data is transferred to session which in turn transfers data to database table.
Session is intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session i.e., data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, the program name behind it, and how the next screen is processed.
When the program has finished generating the session, you can run the session to execute the SAP transactions in it. You can either explicitly start and monitor a session or have the session run in the background processing system.
Unless session is processed, the data is not transferred to database table.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
You create the session through program by BDC_OPEN_GROUP function.
Parameters to this function are:
? User Name: User name
? Group: Name of the session
? Lock Date: The date on which you want to process the session.
? Keep: This parameter is passed as ?X? when you want to retain session after
processing it or ? ? to delete it after processing.
BDC_INSERT
This function creates the session & data is transferred to Session.
Parameters to this function are:
? Tcode: Transaction Name
? Dynprotab: BDC Data
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
This function closes the BDC Group. No Parameters.
Some additional information for session processing
When the session is generated using the KEEP option within the BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the system always keeps the sessions in the queue, whether it has been processed successfully or not.
However, if the session is processed, you have to delete it manually. When session processing is completed successfully while KEEP option was not set, it will be removed automatically from the session queue. Log is not removed for that session.
If the batch-input session is terminated with errors, then it appears in the list of INCORRECT session and it can be processed again. To correct incorrect session, you can analyze the session. The Analysis function allows to determine which screen and value has produced the error. If you find small errors in data, you can correct them interactively, otherwise you need to modify batch input program, which has generated the session or many times even the data file.
CALL TRANSACTION
About CALL TRANSACTION
A technique similar to SESSION method, while batch input is a two-step procedure, Call Transaction does both steps online, one after the other. In this method, you call a transaction from your program by
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>
Messages into <MSGTAB>.
Parameter ? 1 is transaction code.
Parameter ? 2 is name of BDCTAB table.
Parameter ? 3 here you are specifying mode in which you execute transaction
A is all screen mode. All the screen of transaction are displayed.
N is no screen mode. No screen is displayed when you execute the transaction.
E is error screen. Only those screens are displayed wherein you have error record.
Parameter ? 4 here you are specifying update type by which database table is updated.
S is for Synchronous update in which if you change data of one table then all the related Tables gets updated. And sy-subrc is returned i.e., sy-subrc is returned for once and all.
A is for Asynchronous update. When you change data of one table, the sy-subrc is returned. And then updating of other affected tables takes place. So if system fails to update other tables, still sy-subrc returned is 0 (i.e., when first table gets updated).
Parameter ? 5 when you update database table, operation is either successful or unsuccessful or operation is successful with some warning. These messages are stored in internal table, which you specify along with MESSAGE statement. This internal table should be declared like BDCMSGCOLL, a structure available in ABAP/4. It contains the following fields:
1. Tcode: Transaction code
2. Dyname: Batch point module name
3. Dynumb: Batch input Dyn number
4. Msgtyp: Batch input message type (A/E/W/I/S)
5. Msgspra: Batch input Lang, id of message
6. Msgid: Message id
7. MsgvN: Message variables (N = 1 - 4)
For each entry, which is updated in database, table message is available in BDCMSGCOLL. As BDCMSGCOLL is structure, you need to declare a internal table which can contain multiple records (unlike structure).
Steps for CALL TRANSACTION method
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
4. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>.
Refresh BDCTAB.
Endloop.
(To populate BDCTAB, You need to transfer each and every field)
The major differences between Session method and Call transaction are as follows:
SESSION METHOD CALL TRANSACTION
1. Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed. Immediate updation in database table.
2. No sy-subrc is returned. Sy-subrc is returned.
3. Error log is created for error records. Errors need to be handled explicitly
4. Updation in database table is always synchronous Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.
Error Handling in CALL TRANSACTION
When Session Method updates the records in database table, error records are stored in the log file. In Call transaction there is no such log file available and error record is lost unless handled. Usually you need to give report of all the error records i.e., records which are not inserted or updated in the database table. This can be done by the following method:
Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. Internal table BDCMSG like BDCMSGCOLL
4. Internal table similar to Ist internal table
(Third and fourth steps are for error handling)
5. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from the local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
6. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tr.code> using <Bdctab>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>
Messages <BDCMSG>.
Perform check.
Refresh BDCTAB.
Endloop.
7 Form check.
IF sy-subrc <> 0. (Call transaction returns the sy-subrc if updating is not successful).
Call function Format_message.
(This function is called to store the message given by system and to display it along with record)
Append itab2.
Display the record and message.
DIRECT INPUT

Explain User exit concept with simple example

Hi friends
I am new member of this forum & i am learning ABAP.
Kindly send me user exit concept with simple example to my mail ID so i can able to use it.

Code SE18 is used to Identify the BADI available.
Look for the string 'CL_EXITHANDLER' in the standard program. This is a class which has a method 'GET_INSTANCE' which is used to trigger BADI's from the Standard Program. The interface parameter for this static method 'EXIT_NAME' is used to pass the BADI to the method.
Open Standard Program and do a global search 'CL_EXITHANDLER'.
SE18 > give the BADI name found through above search.
CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA > which has a method SAVE_DATA.
T.Code SE19 is used to Implement BADI.
SE19 > give the implementation name > Give the Definition name as CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA and the Short Text.

What are BAdIs?
-> is an anticipated point of extension these points act like sockets and exist in the original source code
-> based on ABAP Objects. BAdI defines an interface that can be implemented by BAdI-implementations that are transport objects of their own
->Important! There are 2 roles: Enhancement Option-provider & Implementer.
-> In the above context, Enhancement Implementation can be done only if option (hook) is provided by the Option-provider. In simple words there are no implicit BAdIs.
Note: In the following slides, Definitions are created so as to understand the method of BAdI definition & for example purpose. As stated above this is the role of Enhancement Option-Provider.
Classic BAdIs already exist since SAP Release 4.6
BAdIs have been Re-implemented in ECC7.0 under the new Enhancement Framework & Switch Framework
Classic BAdIs
To understand what a powerful pattern a BAdI is, we will now define & then implement a BAdI
BADI Class is created automatically.
The various options are described below in detail:
1. Enhanceable: Enhanceability of filter types can only be specified for filter-dependent BADI definitions under very special conditions. For example, the domain belonging to the filter type must be linked with a value table that is of the type E or G. A BADI implementation can then be created in one step by creating a new filter value that is automatically entered into the value table at save and also copied into the transport order of the BADI implementation. In addition, it is also possible to create a new filter value and, at the same time, a BADI implementation with the same name. Naturally, you can also specify existing filter values.
You should select this feature if there is a prerequisite that a new filter value is created together with a new BADI implementation - that is, that BADI implementations are not created solely with existing filter values, although this, too, is possible.
2. Multiple-Use
3. Filter-Dependent
Instance Methods can access all of the attributes of a class and can trigger all events of a class. Static Methods can only access static attributes and static events.
Exceptions:
Events:
Events can be defined in classes or in interfaces. Corresponding methods can trigger these events with the RAISE EVENT statement. Each class (or interface) that is going to handle the corresponding event must implement a relevant handler method, and register it using the SET HANDLER statement. When an event occurs, the system calls all of the handler methods registered for that event.
Like method definitions, events have a parameter interface. The only difference is that events may only have EXPORTING parameters.
BADI : Businees Add IN's
Business Add-Ins are SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects.
Where the SAP standard program is not going to fullfill the client requirement , we are going to add our own program to SAP standard program, without changing the standard prog.
Each Business Add-In has
at least one Business Add-In definition
a Business Add-In interface
a Business Add-In class that implements the interface
Each BADI has two different Views.
1.Definition view
2.Implementation view
T.C for BADI Definition is SE18.
T.C for BADI Implementation is SE19.
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
Set flag field "Buffer trace"
Remark: We need to trace also the buffer calls, because BADI database tables are buffered. (Especially view V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT)
Push the button "Activate Trace". Start transaction VA02 in a new GUI session. Go back to the Performance trace session.
Push the button "Deactivate Trace".
Push the button "Display Trace".
The popup screen "Set Restrictions for Displaying Trace" appears.
Now, filter the trace on Objects:
V_EXT_IMP
V_EXT_ACT
Push button "Multiple selections" button behind field Objects
Fill: V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT
All the interface class names of view V_EXT_IMP start with IF_EX_. This is the standard SAP prefix for BADI class interfaces. The BADI name is after the IF_EX_.
So the BADI name of IF_EX_CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA is CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.

Backup 3 v3.2, is it still relevant?

Hi
I have the Backup 3 application on my iMac, running Mountain Lion.
I am also using time machine.
I was in the Apple Store today (not with my iMac). I couldn't find the application on any of their machines. Their techncians were not familiar with the program.
Is Backup still relevant to use?

Hi
I would delete the oldest back ups first, but it depends on the size of the drive and the size of your hard disk.
look for full backups in there too delete the oldest if there is more than 1, however I would probably just format the drive, wiping it clean and do a fullbackup leaving the machine on overnight with sleep turned off in system preferences if it were me. Then in the morning everything you need is there!
If you want to hold onto some older files you no longer have but that has been backed up in the past, youll need to use time machine to locate those files, restore them and then do a full backup.
Kind Regards
Andrew

Issues with Simple Lists in service requests

We are using Service Manager 2012 and have run into a problem with simple lists within the service requests we created. We believe the issues started after we upgraded to Service Manager SP1 and Silverlight 5.1. What happens is you can select
one of the options in the simple list, but if you decide to change back to the original option, the system won't allow it. In the case where there might be three options in the simple list (i.e. New, Change, Delete), you can select each one once, but
if we try to change it back to any of the other options the system won't allow it. We tested all of this before going live and everything was working, but just before we went live SP1 came out and so we elected to upgrade to it first. We then needed
to upgrade to Silverlight SP1 to work with Service Manager SP1. We retested all of our service requests again just before going live, but didn't think we needed to go through every simple list so we didn't retest this. Since then the simple lists
are problematic. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a fix that will correct this issue?

Yes!
We submitted a business impact statement back in February and after pushing them on a weekly basis, we finally received word that we will be receiving a hot fix next week. Until we actually receive the hot fix and confirm that it works, I will wait
to post another update on this.
With that said, they came up with a temporary workaround about 2-3 weeks ago. This is the message regarding the temporary fix that we received from the engineer that has been working on the issue:
After doing code review I identified the regression was introduced in the binaries that are included as part of this Silverlight XAP file:
RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap. As we discussed on the phone going back to the pre SP1 version means you will lose any enhancements/fixes that were introduced in SP1. Looking at the Change history for this module I only see two changes
that were introduced in SP1 and those changes are as follows:
The text field control only shows the first three lines.
Hierarchical support for List Items in Portal
To confirm my findings I replaced this XAP file with a pre SP1 version and I couldn’t repro the issue in my lab. I also confirmed implementing this module I lose the
above fixes that were introduced in Sp1.
To implement the workaround, please follow the below steps:
Connect to the Web Content Server, locate the following directory:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\System Center Service Manager Portal\ContentHost\Clientbin
Rename the following file RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap
to RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap.org
Copy the attached file RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap to the folder:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\System Center Service Manager Portal\ContentHost\Clientbin
Restart IIS by issuing the following command at the command prompt:
iisreset

Is Enterprise Library still relevant?

I am going to port an old C++ application to C# and intend to replace the C++ custom written cross-cutting libraries with third party cross-cutting frameworks/libraries.   In particular, I have been reviewing the Enterprise Library
for the past week.   One issue that raises a significant red flag is that the version 6 of the Enterprise Library is not backwards compatible with version 5.   For example, a review of the developer guides from both versions shows that
the security, cashing and cryptography blocks found in version 5 have been removed in version 6.
I have not used the Enterprise Library before. But the lack of backwards compatibility alone seems to be a reason enough to avoid using Enterprise Library. That is, significant changes between versions would seem to make this library very impractical
to use.   So my question is the Enterprise Library still relevant/practical or would I be better off using other frameworks/libraries for crossing cutting issues (e.g.: FluentValidation, log4net)?

Hi
IB00,
Based on your description, you case related to Enterprise Library. I am afraid this is out of our support.
Visual C# forum is discuss and ask questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries,
samples, and tools.
For your issue, I would recommend you to ask in CodePlex. Here is a special forum for Enterprise Library.
https://entlib.codeplex.com/discussions
Thanks for your understanding and effort.
Best regards,
Kristin

My question is this: Can good teaching be enhanced with new technology?

Can good teaching be enhanced with new technology? Adobe eLearning Suites is certainly a high-end product with many users and a lot of finance and research behind it. My question is why? Where is eLearning going and, again, is face-to-face teaching going the way of the dodo as a result of this new type of technology?

Hello,
Hope you were not too startled by my reaction, your question reminds me of all the antagonism I have to struggle with every day in the college (with colleagues and management), hence my 'passionate' reaction. Reactions like 'I've written a good course some years ago, I'm a good teacher, why should I need all those hypes you are talking about...'. But that is not what you are interested in...
You asked about tests reported. Vaguely I remember (from a training in 2009) some tests, but have to search for the right references. My personal opinion about those tests is that first of all one should know precisely what to test: when is a training successful or more successful? What do you want to measure: it is very easy to test the 'short time' knowledge acquired by a training, that is what we academics are doing most of the time. But I'm not sure that this really is a measure for training success. Who would dare to postpone the test a couple of months after the end of the training?
I'm still teaching F2F, but nowadays not at all like I did 20 yrs ago. Was a rather good teacher, my lessons were very good prepared, with a clear structure and was able to explain in a language comprehensible to most of the students, felt successful when at the end of a lesson, trying to test if the proposed subject was clear to (almost) everone the result was positive. Students felt good too: at that moment, leaving the classroom, they had understood what I had tried to explain. Everyone happy. Was this good teaching? There was a good written course, but when studying the course for the final exam, students were confident, they had understood everything in the lesson, but ... that was so long ago... And, like Rick also pointed out, a lot of questions arrived, and I started explaining again, and again... Who feels well? Some colleagues are still happy with every answer they can give, but I got pretty unhappy. Some students do not dare to ask questions, some need 'audio', others need 'video', ...
Doing some sort of blended learning now: try to present some structure, basic ideas F2F and get them to work on their own. Most of them do not like to read long written courses, so give them small chunks they can digest when they need it for their tasks. And use everything to make it less boring: video, audio, interactivity, self-assessments, let them twitter, chat, discuss on a forum, blog, create a wiki, search, explain to each other... We have the tools, just need some creativity.
Did I do some research with my students? Not in the regular structured way tests are normally conducted. But I'm often starting a lesson with a survey (on our LMS) where students (anonymously) are given their idea about their proper knowledge about the subject, about the used techniques, about their 'digestion' of the previous lesson, about the work they have done: purpose is for me to have some feedback and a base to go on, for each student to have an idea of his position in the group. We are looking at the statistics together and discussing it briefly. When introducing some new 'hype' there is never an obligation, they can try it out and give their opinion. Just an example: when starting to offer CP-SWF's I offered demonstrations, training simulations and assessments. Feedback from the students pushed me just at never creating demo's again. For the moment I introduced Twitter for a project, will have their feedback after next week and judge then.
Sorry again for a too long answer (begging you pardon, Rick too). When I find the references I have been mentioning I'll post them. Now it is getting rather late, have quite a lot of meetings tomorrow with students.

Is Shake still relevant?

Now that there is the new Snow Leopard OS, and new Final Cut Studio, is Shake still relevant and a good product to work with?
I ask b/c I view my video work as mostly just a hobby and I wouldn't want to shell out the money to purchase Shake, only to find that it won't run well/at all with the newest software.

If your hobby includes world-class compositing, then Shake is an incredible bargain.
$500 for Shake vs. $4500 for Nuke.
It works on Leopard just fine.
(It works reasonably well on Snow Leopard,
but do you actually need Snow Leopard?)
On the other hand, if you are just learning about all aspects of video,
you'll have plenty to work with using the FCS package. In that case,
I would suggest you save your money and skip buying specialized
software for now.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

Trying to rebuild my iphoto library from time machine backup and it still says 0 restored with a grey screen and the circle. How can i restore my library?

I just bought a new Macbook pro and i tried to rebuild my iphoto library from a time machine backup on an external hard drive. Even after pressing command+option when starting iphoto and selecting rebuild library from automatic backup, it still doesn't work with the grey screen with the white circle and a little window that says 'rebuilding library: 0 versions restored'. I also tried to make a copy of my iphoto library but that did not work either. how can i restore my iphoto library or at least gain access to my photos?

Your question is not clear
Rerairing or rebuilding the iPhoto library never involves using Time Machine in any way
TM is a totally seperate program and you can "restore" a file (including the iPhoto library) from the past using TM - you launch TM and go back to the time you want and select the file (or folder or package) you want and click restore - it probably is best to keep the current one until you are sure everything is good

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.
