Next Number Maintenance - IncrementBy is used for what?

Hello everybody,
as I'm developing a webservice I've used the "IncrementBy" of my next number template as the value which is added to the current sequence of the number.
Let me provide an example:
The current sequence is 1
The IncrementBy value is 6
I order a new number and get 7 (current sequence + IncrementBy value)
My problem is now that the documentation states, that the "IncrementBy" value is used to "(...) increment the minimum and maximum sequence numbers."
Next Number Maintenance - SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME) - SAP Library
This would differ from my current usage. However, I can't see any sense in providing a "incrementby" value to manipulate static data in a table. Furthermore the name of the column would be a fail, too. May there just be a mistake in the documentation?
If not, what's the sense behind the incrementby value then?
Thanks and regards,
Kai

Kai
The help is wrong. When you request a number from Next number, it returns the Current Sequence. It then adds the value of the Increment By to that number and stores it back to the Current Sequence, ready for the next request.

What is the best system maintenance software to use for a MBP??

Hello everyone, I was formerly using Mac Tune-up for my Macbook Pro and it did an okay job but I am not sure what Mac software I should be using to keep my system clean while keeping it running at optimal performance. Turns-out I can no longer use Mac Tune-Up since I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Can anyone recommend to me the best system maintenance software to use for my MBP with Mavericks OS and where I can get it (a link or site URL)? Thanks in advance!

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A well-made computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Next Number Maintenance - Database inconsistency

Hi ,
I did basic configurations in SAP ME. I also did Next number maintenance as a part of configuration. I have created few shop orders and completed successfully with NC .
Recently we have upgraded to SAP ME 5.2.4.3 from 5.2.4.1
Now I have added some more materials to the same plant and trying to create inventory for those materials in Inventory Receipt.
I am getting the following message.
Database inconsistency: "Invalid Next Number return" (Message 1006)
I am able to create inventory for the old materials even now.But not for the newly added materials.
Did I miss something after patch upgrade? or is it configuration problem?
Regards,
Guru.

Hi,
it looks weird. Could you look at the default trace? What is the stack trace behind the exception you get?
What if you try just to copy old material under a new name? Does it work?
Regards,
Anton

Next Number Generation Activity to use Base36 without I, O, Q

Hi all,
Need to have a Next Number Activity Hook to generate a sequence number similar to a base 36 with the exception of letters that could be confused with numbers: I, O, Q.
I have an activity hook created that generates the number I want to use without any problems at all.
Example:
16 = 000G
17 = 000H
18 = 000J <- Skips the letter I
19 = 000K
20 = 000L
But when putting the this into the inData object to be returned it is ignored.
inData.put("CURRENT_SEQUENCE", finalValue);
Any thoughts as a way I can get this to work?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok I finally had some time to work on this.
Within Next Number Maintenance if the Number Base is set to 34 it does exclude I and O (good), but stops at W (bad). No X, Y, or Z (bad). Plus it still includes Q (bad).
i.e.
TEST-000U
TEST-000V
TEST-000W
TEST-0010
TEST-0011
If the Number Base is set to 33, I, O, and Q are included (bad) and it also stops at W (bad).
Neither are acceptable solutions. So...
I have figured out an ugly workaround:
In Next Number Maintenance set Number Base to 36.
Then insert the invalid SFC numbers into the ID_USED table.
i.e.
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-000I,S', '1000', 'TEST-000I', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-000O,S', '1000', 'TEST-000O', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-000Q,S', '1000', 'TEST-000Q', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-001I,S', '1000', 'TEST-001I', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-001O,S', '1000', 'TEST-001O', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
INSERT INTO ID_USED (HANDLE, SITE, ID, ID_TYPE, CREATE_DATE, ARCHIVED) VALUES ('IDUsedBO:1000,TEST-001Q,S', '1000', 'TEST-001Q', 'S', TO_DATE('05/04/2010','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'false');
Unfortunately this will need to be done for all of the potentially bad SFC's. I will defiantly need to write a small app for that.
Then when the Next Number is called for the SFC, the system would notice that that number is already used and jump to the next available number.
Also by using the ID_USED table should anyone want reports there would not be any bogus SFC data in the system.
This work exactly as I want on our test server.
So before I truly implement this on our Production server does anyone see any potential downfalls to this workaround? Questions and/or comments welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Bapi_Busprocessnd_Procsettings is used for what...?

Hi ,
Can anybody out there explain Bapi_Busprocessnd_Procsettings is used for what? Actually I have been trying to create sales order remotely. And I need to call this BAPI to persist the data, even if I do Transaction Commit.
Thanks a lot

Hi Rajan,
I haven't used this BAPI but you can take a look at following programs/Function modules to the usage of this BAPI. From what I understand this BAPI is used to set the process settings such as (save = true) if you want to commit the data when calling the BAPI's remotely.
Report - CRM_CALL_ACTIVITY_INTERFACE (Demo Program to Call External Interfaces of Activities )
LCRM_BUSPROCESSND_BAPIF19
LCRM_BUSPROCESSND_BAPIU01        Save and install sales orders [implementation]
LCRM_BUSPROCESSND_BAPIU02        Delete and save sales orders [implementation]
LCRM_BUSPROCESSND_BAPIU03        Generate sales orders [implementation]
LCRM_BUSPROCESSND_BAPIU05        Change sales orders [implementation]
Also if you want to save the transaction you could use the BAPI BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_SAVE.
Hope this helps!

Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

Why did this pop up today?
Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
" Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. " ( my iPhone is not new. )
" If you recently signed into "xxxxx iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button. Well it's NOT "OK" No option is offered if it is not "OK".
I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever. Just normal use today. In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

IT 2004 - Availability is used for what?

Hi buddies,
I am curious about what the usage of infotype 2004 - availability.
Can anybody explain IT2004 is used for what?
An explenaition with senario will better
Thanks in adv.
Br,Kee

HI Kee,
You can use the Availability infotype (2004) to enter different types of work availability duties. A
typical availability type is on-call duty.
In the R/3 Human Resources (HR) component, an availability is work performed
outside of an employeeu2019s planned working time. When you create an availability, the
system does not overwrite the employeeu2019s work schedule.
Availability types are subtypes of the Availability infotype (2004). The standard R/3 System
includes the following availability types:
Subtype 01: On-call duty
Subtype 02: On-call duty <=10%
Subtype 03: On-call duty <=25%
Subtype 04: On-call duty <=40%
Subtype 05: On-call duty <=49%

Which legacy systems are used for what purpose?

Hi gurus,
I tried looking in this forums, but couldnt gather much information on which legacy systems are used and for what purpose? can any body send me a link that can help me understand when and where, which systems are used for what purpose.. I have a general understanding of Legacy systems so i am not looking for terminology explanation, i would appreciate any thing that is related to business and explains the purpose.
thanks,
kishore karnati

Hi,
Term legacy system means tailor made system by group of software developer or any branded software which deals with the group requirement like tally we user for finance.
Legacy system can be based on any technology like visual basis as front end and oracle as back end or Developer 2k as front end and oracle as back end. For report most of the legacy system we have seen uses crystal report.
You can develop and implement based on the requirement from the user though you need to define some specify process to keep the system streamline which is in your hands.
Concept like devlopment/quality/production we don't have that verys strict concept.
More and more they are not intergrated each other functionally mean lets say inventory has come to the godown then your vendor outstanding should increase in finance which does not happens you need to key in the seperate value for it.
Hope this helps!!!

The object ID in PLOGI is used for what?

Hello, I'm back for some little questions.
We know that every employee has a personnel number. And in table PLOGI there'e a kind of records whose obj type is P(Person). I'm wondering what are the obj IDs of these records used for? Cauze we already have PERNR to stand for a person.
This question also lies in Company Code(Obj Typ - IC), Personal Subarea(Obj Typ - I1) , etc.
Thanks.

Hi Kee,
As far as I can see, the OBJID in PLOGI for object type P is same as the PERNR.

How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer. You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch). They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

Subtype of IT0008 is used for what?

Hi Experts,
It suddenly came to me such a question: In what situation should we use subtype of IT0008? Cauze in most cases I just use default subtype 0 -- "Basic contract". How about the others like "Increase basic contract"??
If I create 2 records of IT0008, oen for subtype "0, one for subtype "1", how will these two records be handled in payroll run?
Thanks a lot!

see when employee gets hired u may want to create IT0008 with say subtype '0' for basic pay or something..but then see if in between u want to perform some action on employee say u want to promote him for 2 months say merit increase..in such situation the employee will have the 0 subtype as well as a new subtype merit inc maintained for 2 months..in short he wl get paid more for thse 2 months..,
payroll will take care of it automatically as diff subtype will have diff wage type for amounts..so both of these wage type will contribute to employees net pay..

Hard Drive Setup - which drives to use for what

So I have decided on buying a segate 7200.14 hard drive (Tell me if this is a bad one, I just saw a bunch of reviews and benchmarks and it is supposed to be one of the fastest), but I'm not sure weather to use it as a scratch disk, a media disk, or an OS disk. Currently I only have one slow, old 500gb drive, which I was going to use to store old media and exports (I don't need to acces projects that I worked on a year ago). I have an external backup drive as well. I was thinking of getting the 7200.14 drive, since it is so fast and cheap and using it for my main drive, but now I'm wondering, would I be better off using it as the scratch drive? I can always wait for my OS and programs and such to load slower, but I'd like stuff inside of the program to be quick. I also don't care much about exports since I'm in no rush to get the work out as quick as I can, and I normally just leave it rendering overnight.
TL;DR
1.) slow, old 500gb drive
2.) new, fast 7200.14 drive
3.) I can possibly buy another drive if it's absolutely necessary, but I have gathered that the third drive is for OS, which I don't need to load quickly at all.
Which one of these things is most bottlenecked by the hard drive? What should I do with my hard drive setup?
EDIT:
Also, is the 7200.14 a good drive? Tell me a better one if you think of one. I was thinking of getting the 1tb version but I might get the 3tb version for storage, since its a much better $/gb.

Alright, I've gathered that the media cache and the medi files are not suited to be on an SSD (media because of large file sizes and media cache because of longevity, since it has to read and write so many times). But which one would I benefit more from being faster? Or could I just leave them both slow, and get two cheaper slower hard drives instead of the one fast 7200.14?
