Number of participant after activity completion is determined at run time.

I have a scenario
1. Let there be 5 roles A,B,C,D,E
2. Role A initiates a process, and it goes to B and C(in different roles) simultaneously.
3. When both B and C approves this, it will go to next participant D and E. However if only one of them approves, then the process instance must not go forward.
4. Also the number of groups to whom the process, flows is determined at run time.
Please let me know, how to achieve this task. Any suggestions will be welcomed and appreciated.
Regards.

You'd use a parallel gateway with complex gateway at the join. In the complex gateway you'd have an expression to continue when first flow completes (activationCount == 1) and select "Abort pending flows". That would have the scope end when the first flow completes. Docs are at:

Just lost everything after activation completed

After the 2.0 was finally! activated on my phone, all my info, messages, contacts is gone... Any suggestions?

I tried restoring and it only brought back pictures and music. No text messages or old notes. In addition when you select to restore it asks you if you want to back up the info from the current phone. I am assuming the answer is no, since currently my phone has no info. If you select that option, the restore function does not work. However, I do have a info backed up in itunes under options. Anyway I can retrieve that info?

Screen capture of active window in LabWindows at run time

Hi NI,
We at KPIT are building an application which gathers data from an ECU over RS-232. We have completed our UIR file and tested basic send recieve. We would like to automate the test report generation. For this, we need to capture the GUI window (containing graphs, text boxes etc.) after the end of the test. Currently we are doing this manually using the standard Alt+PrintScreen fucntionality provided by Windows. Is there a way in LabWindows to capture the GUI form/screen/tab automatically through an API call ?
Regards,
-Ashish

Hi it's not that elegant but you can usethe following code i wrote:
it uses ClearClipboard software and it's basicly an automated printscreen
int BmpID,Available=0,Width,Height,RowB,PixDepth,Error,Status;
int *ColorTable=NULL;
unsigned char *Bits=NULL; unsigned char *Mask=NULL;
LaunchExecutable ("c:\\Program Files\\ClearClipboard\\ClearClipboard.exe");
Delay(1);
keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT,0xd4, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_SNAPSHOT,0xd4, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
ProcessSystemEvents();
ClipboardGetBitmap (&BmpID, &Available);
AllocBitmapData (BmpID, &ColorTable, &Bits, &Mask);
GetBitmapData (BmpID, &RowB, &PixDepth, &Width, &Height,ColorTable, Bits, Mask);
SaveBitmapToJPEGFile (BmpID, strFull, 0, 100);
DiscardBitmap(BmpID);
free(Bits);
free(Mask);
free(ColorTable);
Hope it helps....

XStep conditional formatting. Can it be determined at run time ?

Does anyone know of a way to put conditional formatting into an XStep generated table output. For example, this is what we are trying to do:
- At some point after an order is generated and released, materials are issued to it.
- We have created a function module that reports back the list of all materials issued.
- The FM also checks to see if the material was planned in a reservation.
- If a material issued was not a planned material we want to list it in RED.
In the XStep repository, I can simulate a table output using parameter PPPI_FRAGMENT_HTML, and can change font color by giving it a value like
<div style="color: red">TEST123</div>
And I get TEST123 displayed in RED.
I also get TEST123 displayed in red on the generated PI sheet, if I put the put the HTML string above into the XStep as a fixed value.
But if I program the FM to return this string, then I get the entire string output in the table field and the font color is not changed to RED.

I got a response at the XStep Cafe and thought it might help others if I share it here.
Arne Manthey:
I assume that you are also using PPPI_FRAGMENT_HTML for the parameter to which the FM returns your string. If you valuate this parameter manually it is internally handled as a long text. However the function module will most likely return just a string value and these are probably not recognized as a long text. I do not have any idea how to valuate a long text with a FM when the PI Sheet has already been generated. The only thing I did successfully was to generate HTML text during generation (although not with XSteps). But in your case this would not help, yes?
The general problem with long text elements is that they are really meant for initial valuation only and not for changing back and forth.
Another way of doing conditional formatting would be to use some Stylesheet magic which evaluates a status parameter you would set by a function module. This would most likely also include some Javascript to make the change happen. Please follow that path only if it is really necessary because Stylesheet stuff is not easy to handle.
mrupp:
Thanks Arne.
We decided to just add an additional table column with an alert message when needed to flag Unplanned Materials and/or Expired Shelf Life. I have played around with Stylesheets & Javascript a bit and agree that it is not worth it in this case.

Data type determined at run time, how to provide the input type in advance

Hi all,
Here I have a requirement:
on my UI, there is an inputfield which receives user's input. But the data type can't be known at design time.
But I need to bind a context attribute to the inputfield first at design time, which data type should I use( the inputfield can recevie
data of any type ) ?
and how to convert the this data type into different data type( can be any type )?

Hello Aaron,
There can be a workaround for your requirement.
you can assign a char data type to that field since Char can accept all characters, numbers, special symbols.
But, you need to do validations later on the see if it is a number or all alphabets and accordingly you can assign that field to any data type by doing little bit of manipulations.
Hope this helps.

Anand

CIF Activating an Integration model takes long time

Hi ,
I have a strange issue that whenever I perform CIF from R/3 to SCM APO system, it takes a very long time for the very first time on a day even though the number of objects in the CIF model is only one material. After this activation completes successfully, how many ever times I CIF even larger selections on the same day, its fast. Does anyone had a similar issue?
Your ideas will help a lot. Thanks and appreciate your effort to share your fix methods.
Best Regards
Bharani

Hi Bharani
Is this happen in your production system every day ?
If somebody apply Notes or SP related to CIF, 1st execution might take some time due to ABAP code compiling (If basis people execute compiling in batch through SGEN, this should not occur). But I think Notes implementation or SP implementation does not occur often. This might not related to your case...
Since which parts cause this problem (I mean ABAP processing time or DB access time), I would recommend you to ask basis people to check the STAD record after you execute CFM2 or CFM3.
In STAD, you can see time distribution of runtime (CPU time, DB time etc) and from this content, you can decide next action to tune the performance like taking ABAP trace from SE30 or SQL/RFC trace from ST05 etc <Or ST12>.

Business Content Activation - run time error

Hi guys,
We were at plugin 2002.1. We installed PI 2002.2 and PI 2003.1 on top of it.
After the plug-in upgrade, we are at support pack 9 for SAP-BW and 13 for BI-Content. For aba and basis, we are at 620 and support pack 32.
As part of the regression testing after the 2003.1 plugin upgrade, we found out that the business content activation abends with the following run time error.
Runtime Errors SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC
Exception CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Looks like it is trying to insert into table RSOLTPSOURCEFIET and the row already is existing. I thought the activation process is supposed to update something if it is already out there.
If we just select the 'only necessary', the activation goes through ok, but if we select 'before and after in the data flow', we get this abend.
Any clues???
Best regards,
makaleem

Hi Seow,
This is how I resolved it. I looked at the ST22 closely and one of the messages indicated that the number range is missing in tran SNRO for an infoObject. I created an entry for that infoobject using SNRO and tried activation and it worked.
When we created an OSS for SAP to look into it, they recommended the following two things. I tried these two but it did not work. I am mentioning them below just in case they may help you.
1) Sometimes there is inconsistency in the content cache when trying to activate objects and we have to delete the repository cache. To delete the repository cache, go to RSA1 ---> Business Content -
> Extras ---> Delete Rep Cache
2) Execute SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES program for types 1,2,3 and 6.
If this helps, don't forget to assign points.

Excel not even open - "cannot complete this task with available resources" and then VBA run-time error randomly appear!

Has anyone else seen the "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" error message appear when Excel isn't even open? It keeps happening to me, and it's the strangest thing.
It seems like interacting with Excel files sometimes prompts it - for example, I just turned on my computer this morning, checked my email, and then opened Google Chrome to upload some Excel files. Excel hasn't been opened at any point since the machine
booted up, but this Excel error popped up while I was uploading the files.
Checked the Task Manager because I was baffled (not that this is the first time it's happened), and there's no Excel application running, just that silly error message. Choose OK on that error and a VBA run-time error message appears (not even sure if it's
Excel VBA or Word/Outlook but I assume it's Excel - it's the good old 1004, application-defined or object-defined error).
Debug is greyed out, so it won't let me debug to see what the problem is. Choosing End brings the "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" message back for one final performance.
This happens on a not-infrequent basis: Excel isn't open, and I randomly get this set of Excel errors: 1) "cannot complete task", 2) VBA run-time, 3) "cannot complete task" again. Then it's done, until the next time it happens. Weird.
I have 32-bit Windows 7 and Excel 2013/2010/2007/2003/2002 (I know!) but the issue only started after installing 2013. I also get the "cannot complete this task" message regularly when working in Excel (generally with Power Pivot or something legitimately
memory-hungry though), and restarting the application does the trick. I don't mind a heads-up when I'm gobbling up too many resources, but when Excel's not even open, it's a bit ridiculous. It's like I have a zombie Excel! Does interacting with Excel files
via upload/moving around Windows Explorer actually trigger some sort of Excel action in the background?
Any ideas would be most appreciated!! Thank you :)

Hi,
As the memory error messages , it can be very generic and don't always identify the real cause of the issue. We may try to use the KB that Mr. KR mentioned above to troubleshoot it.
On the other hand, if the file is xls format, we may convert to the new file format .XLSM and test.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/MS_Office/Excel/Q_28339883.html
Next, try to disable hardware graphics acceleration from File > Options > Advanced > Display section and disable Aero Themes (if you enabled) to check the results.
For the hangs and crashes issues, we may use ADPlus.vbs to troubleshoot:

Problem with ejecution work book (determining run time)

Hello, I have a problem with the Discoverer Desktop (v. 10.1.2.1) db. Oracle 10G.
Whenever I execute a work book with my user in any equipment of the network
when determining the run time of the report is delayed , only with my user and
the privileges of the reports and tables is ok.
excuse my english...
thanks

It sounds like the problem with the query estimator. Basically, the query estimator IMO should be turned off for Discoverer as it's not Disco's best feature. As to why only you see it, are you sure it's not only when run on your PC?
If you click over to a 'very old' link I have at:
http://proudman.homestead.com/files/optimizing_discoverer_on_client.htm
or at the bottom of this message I've copied it, you'll see #1 is the first thing you want to change.
You may not want to change #2 or #3 but take a look. Also, where the instructions refer to: Disco 3.1 just change to your version (ie: 10). Gotta' update that someday.

=================================================
3 REGISTRY SETTINGS TO CHANGE
============================
Note that for each of the three suggestions below, if the entry does not exist in your registry, then create it and set the value suggested.
1. Database\QPPEnable
type - DWORD, default 1
To Do: Turn off query prediction.
This can be done by specifying the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 3.1\Database\QPPEnable
It should be set to a DWORD value of 0 (zero). To re-enable query prediction at some later point in time, either remove the registry key or set it to 1.
2. Database\QPPCBOEnforced
type - DWORD, default 1
To Do: Stop query prediction forcing the use of the cost-based optimizer.
This can be done by specifying the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 3.1\Database\QPPCBOEnforced
It should be set to a DWORD value of 0 (zero) which means use of the Cost-based Optimizer (CBO) is not enforced. The CBO will follow the normal rules of the database server.
3. Database\ObjectsAlwaysAccessible
type - DWORD, default 0
To Do: Stop validating that the tables/views folders refer to exist and that the user has access to them.
This can be done by specifying the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer3.1\Database\ObjectsAlwaysAccessible
It should be set to a DWORD value > 0 (ie: 1) which means validation will not take place.

After activating my iPhone 4s, my phone number shows up as "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working. Any thoughts?

After syncing my new iPhone 4s, my old iPhone is still working and the new one says No Service. When I connect to iTunes, it says my Phone Number is "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working.
When activating initially through AT&T, I had no problems, but I've just never gotten service. Any thoughts? Could this all just be due to the servers being overloaded today?

After waiting on hold for a long time, I talked with AT&T to determine that the ICCID and IMEI numbers didn't get changed in their system. (I'm guessing lost in transfer due to the load on the system?). They took down the info, disconnected the call (I had to call from the 3Gs - no landline), and then called me back on my 4s. Problem solved.
Hold times suck right now, but at least 611 calls don't cost you minutes and speaker phone is your friend

Photoshop (CS2) asks for activation, completes, then exits after popup

I am using the Adobe Creative Suite 2. Photoshop is version 9.0.
I open Photoshop and here is the first pop-up I see:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/1st.jpg
It says: "The license configuration data for Adobe Creative Suite is no longer usable. Click OK to continue."
I click OK and this is what I see next:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/2nd.jpg
It's the activation window (do note I already have activated after the install)
So I activate, and it says thank you... as you can see here:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/3rd.jpg
Then immediately after activation, I get this pop up:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/4th.jpg3
It says "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
I click OK then I get another pop up:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/5th.jpg
It says "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I click OK and nothing happens. But if I click on ANY tool or function within Photoshop, I will get the last pop up which is:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/6th.jpg
It says, "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
Then Photoshop closes, and I begin to weep.
So it asks me to activate, even though I have already activated it successfully. Then it tells me to reinstall even though I've already reinstalled twice now. I don't know what to do. The only thing I've changed on my computer recently is I've added fonts that I downloaded from a public website. Now my PS is screwed. Anyone?

You've been having complete, show-stopping problems for 22 days, and you haven't called Adobe Customer Support for help?
Yo DO realize that we're just a group of other users, like yourself, right?

After Active Directory System Discovery, some computers have Operating_System_Name_and0 as only the version number

Good morning,
We've been experiencing some odd behavior with discovery. After Active Directory System Discovery, some computers have Operating_System_Name_and0 as only the version number; for example, " 6.1" (note the space before the 6) vs.
"Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1" (although, not limited to Windows 7 workstations).
Here are two seemingly identical machine records in Active Directory WCBWIN7VDI10 and WCBWIN7VDI11.
After discovery
select Name0, Operating_System_Name_and0 from v_r_system where Name0 LIKE 'WCBWIN7VDI1[0,1]'
yields
Name0 Operating_System_Name_and0
WCBWIN7VDI10 6.1
WCBWIN7VDI11 Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1
For discovery on a new domain yesterday we have the following distribution:
select count (*) as [count], convert (nvarchar, Creation_Date0, 110) as [creation date], Operating_System_Name_and0
from v_r_system where Full_Domain_Name0 like 'aaa.bbb.ccc'
group by Operating_System_Name_and0, convert (nvarchar, Creation_Date0, 110)
order by Operating_System_Name_and0
count
creation date
Operating_System_Name_and0

Hi Terence,
What is the value in Active Directory for the computer account?
Do you have the same behavior if you run this query?
SELECT DISTINCT Operating_System_Name_and0 FROM v_R_System ORDER BY 1
You are talking about a space before 6.1. Do I see also a space for all Microsoft Windows like "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.3" ?

Impact on profit ctr after activation of New GL

Hi,
I would like to know,what is the impact on profit ctr after activation of New GL?
Thanks in advance
Prasad

The following OSS note will be of some help in addition to online help documentation
For release SAP ERP, the Profit Center Accounting was integrated into the new G/L accounting. The solution is as follows:
SAP delivers the 'Profit Center' and the 'Partner Profit Center' as fixed characteristics that are posted on the original FI postings. The data is not updated in another ledger as in the classic Profit Center Accounting.
As a result of integration of the Profit Center Accounting into the new G/L accounting, new functions such as 'Document Splitting' are available. Using the function 'Document Splitting' (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for other entities such as the profit center. The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
Integrating the G/L accounting and the Profit Center Accounting into the one application also removes the time and effort needed to reconcile G/L accounting and PCA.
When implementing the new G/L accounting in Release SAP ERP, we recommend that all new customers map the Profit Center within the new G/L accounting by activating the scenario FIN_PCA (profit center update). It is not advisable to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel and consequently update parallel data volumes.
Detailed information about setting Profit Center Accounting in the New General Ledger:
Define the update of the characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Partner Profit Center' in the ledger by selecting the scenario 'Profit center update' (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer-Defined Fields to Ledgers).
If you want to use the document splitting, you can define the field 'Profit center' as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting). Set the 'Zero balance' indicator again for the added field 'Profit Center'. You can now create balance sheets on the profit center. You must also activate the Mandatory Field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings. If you want to display balance sheet items at profit center level (for example, receivables and payables) but you do not require complete balance sheets, we recommend that you do not set the indicator 'Zero balance' and 'Mandatory Field check'.
If you already used classic Profit Center Accounting as an SAP R/3 customer but you now want to use Profit Center Accounting in the new general ledger, you can continue to use classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel to the profit center update scenario in the new G/L accounting in the interim. However, we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required.
However, if the classic Profit Center Accounting continues to play a leading role for you, we recommend that you do not activate the document splitting in the new G/L accounting, and not for other entities such as the segment either. This is because the classic Profit Center Accounting uses certain functions of the classic general ledger that are no longer available with active document splitting (for example, transaction F.5D, Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment).
See the following information for details about the differences between the function of PCA in new G/L accounting and in classic PCA and for details about the effects of new G/L accounting on the posting behavior in classic PCA. Even if mapped into new G/L accounting, PCA always occurs within a controlling area. SAP does not support cross-controlling area PCA. The derivation of profit center and partner profit center with the different business processes when you use the new G/L Accounting is identical to the classic Profit Center Accounting. Details about the differences are available in the following.
1. Set the proposal profit center for additional balance sheet and P&L accounts.
Release SAP ERP 2004:
           Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings.
           Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI are available in the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining a proposal profit center for balance sheet accounts and P&L accounts. Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI also exist in SAP ERP2004 and function in the same way as in R/3: In other words, you can use the settings in transaction 3KEH to control the update in classic Profit Center Accounting, and the transactions set a proposal profit center where necessary. Keep in mind that the profit center information is therefore affected in new G/L accounting by settings in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
           Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI (from classic Profit Center Accounting) for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
           Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings. In addition, the new transaction FAGL3KEH and the BAdI FAGL_3KEH_DEFPRCTR are available for maintaining proposal profit centers. You can use these new functions to determine a proposal profit center depending on the company code and the account. Note that this proposal profit center does not appear on the input screen; it is derived only when you post the document. The proposal profit center is used if the line item does not contain a CO account assignment and if the profit center was not already determined elsewhere.
           Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic Profit Center Accounting are active: The entries of transaction 3KEH control ONLY the transfer of line items to classic Profit Center Accounting. Transaction 3KEI is no longer relevant. To set the profit center, use the options which are available in the new G/L accounting (make entries manually, use FI substitution, or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT).
2. Derivation of the partner profit center
Release SAP ERP 2004:
           Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT to set the partner profit center.
           Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL (reading purchase order/sales order for affiliated companies) are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES. Partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
           Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT or the new BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR (enhancement spot FAGL_LEDGER_CUST_DEFPRCTR) with the method SET_DEFAULT_PART_PRCTR to set the partner profit center.
           Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES because partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting. Instead, if required, you should use the BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR to set the partner profit center. A partner profit center determined in this way is always updated both in new G/L accounting and in classic Profit Center Accounting.
3. Displaying receivables and payables for each profit center
Document splitting is active
           The detailed information from the general ledger view about receivables and payables split online from the document splitting is NOT available for classic Profit Center Accounting. In this case, you CANNOT split receivables/payables nor follow-up costs subsequently (Transaction F.5D - report SAPF180A, Transaction F.50 - report SAPF181, Transaction F.05 - report SAPF100). This means that you CANNOT use transaction 1KEK to transfer receivables and payables to classic Profit Center Accounting. Follow-up costs split according to source can be transferred online to the classic Profit Center Accounting because these are already available in the data entry view.
           Read the documentation of the document splitting carefully. Analyze in which cases you have to set default account assignments because the document splitting is sometimes prevented by default account assignments.
Document splitting is not active
           In this case, you CANNOT display the receivables and payables according to source at profit center level within the new G/L accounting. However, you can use the old split of the receivables and payables within the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction F.5D) as well as of the follow-up costs (transaction F.50), and you can use the periodic transfer of receivables and payables using transaction 1KEK. However, you can execute the new report for the foreign currency valuation of the open items (report FAGL_FC_VALUATION) with depreciation areas only, which means that the documents are no longer updated (valuation difference not updated in BSEG-BDIFF). As a result, transaction 1KEK copies only the original receivables/payables, independently of transaction 2KEM 'Account Valuation Differences'; in other words, the original data is not corrected by the valuation differences.
           You can use the standard report groups 8A98 and 8A99 to display the open receivables and payables in classic Profit Center Accounting.
4. Periodic transfers of asset portfolios to classic Profit Center Accounting
              As of Release 4. 7, it is possible to map a parallel reporting mapped in FI (for example, parallel accounts) for parallel depreciation areas in Asset Accounting by using particular settings (defining an accounting principle). You must stop the execution of transaction 1KEI because it would result in duplicated data in PCA because of postings to the same accounts. You must also stop transaction 1KEI with a 'different company code' or a 'different depreciation area in the different company code' because the data cannot be transferred correctly. Transaction 1KEI terminates with the error message KM 764. As of Release SAP ERP, if the new general ledger accounting is active, the system issues the message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST 076.
5. Dummy profit center on P&L accounts
              You use transactions 3KEH and 3KEI to firstly try to determine a proposal profit center in classic Profit Center Accounting for document line items with a P&L account (no cost element) and without a profit center account assignment. If the system does not find a proposal profit center, the dummy profit center is set for some activities (primarily from Logistics). If the new G/L accounting is active AND if at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' is used in the document splitting, the routine for setting the dummy profit center will no longer run (see Note 820121 and 832776). Otherwise the document splitting would not split a document, or not split it correctly. The system must then find the profit center that is valid for the process using the document splitting or another derivation. If this is not the case, the document line item will not be updated in the classic Profit Center (document line items with Profit Center initial are not allowed in the classic Profit Center Accounting).
6. PCA additional rows
              If you map Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting in SAP ERP, you can use consulting note 937872 to update PCA additional lines recognized from classic Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting.
              If you use the transfer price functions, you do not require Note 937872 because the structure of the PCA additional lines are technically "true" and are automatically posted in new General Ledger Accounting when maintained in transaction 0KEK.
7. Substitution of profit centers in sales orders
              Transactions 0KEL and 0KEM are available both in the classic Profit Center Accounting and in the new G/L accounting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools -> Validation/Substitution)
8. Reporting
Line item reporting within the new G/L accounting
           Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if document splitting is set with the characteristic Profit Center, only one restricted line item reporting to profit centers is available in this release at present. When you use the G/L account line item list of FI, you can limit profit centers for line item settlement G/L accounts that are not relevant for the document splitting. As of Support Package 10, line item reporting to profit centers and segments is available.
           Release SAP ERP 2005: Line item reporting according to profit centers and segments is available.
Ledger reporting within the new G/L accounting
           Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if the document splitting is set with the characteristic profit center or segment, no current account reporting to profit centers and segments is available up to Support Package 10. With Support Package 10, current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. Also see the detailed explanations for Release SAP ERP 2005.
           Release SAP ERP 2005: Current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. It replaces the standard report groups 8A98/8A99 in earlier releases. However, the difference is that the foreign currency valuation correction is no longer displayed for each item because no update of the valuation in items occurs through the foreign currency valuation in the new general ledger (no BDIFF/BDIFF2 update). It is a key date-related valuation (mostly for the period end).
9. Transfer prices
              The transfer price functions (multiple valuations) are available for new General Ledger Accounting as of SAP ERP 2005. For SAP ERP 2004, see the release restrictions in Note 741821. In SAP ERP 2004, you can use the transfer price functions or multiple valuation functions only if you have activated the classic General Ledger and classic Profit Center Accounting.
10. Creating the profit center standard hierarchy
Release SAP ERP 2004: You must create the highest node of the standard hierarchy in the Customizing of the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction 0KE5), even if you are not using classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005: To create the highest node of the standard hierarchy, use transaction SM30 with the maintenance view V_FAGL_PC_STHR.
11. Creating the dummy profit center
Classic Profit Center Accounting is active (regardless of whether classic G/L accounting or new G/L accounting is active):
           If the classic Profit Center Accounting is active, you must create a dummy profit center to avoid postings with an initial profit center in the database tables of the classic PCA.
           If the new G/L accounting is also active AND if you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting, you have to ensure in Release SAP ERP 2004 that Notes 820121 and 832776 are included. In Release SAP ERP 2005, the changed posting logic is included from the beginning. Note that the update of document line items in classic Profit Center Accounting is omitted because of this.
Classic Profit Center Accounting is not active, New G/L Accounting is active and you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting:
           You do not have to create and use a dummy profit center. Using the dummy profit center can cause situations you want to avoid: For example, the system splits receivables/payables to the dummy profit center because of the document splitting (you cannot transfer them manually), or a document line item with dummy profit center account assignment is not split by the document splitting. To ensure that a profit center is assigned in all rows, set the profit center as mandatory field in the Customizing of the document splitting. However, note that this can also lead to terminations while posting, if a profit center assignment is missing.
12. Compare G/L Accounts in FI with Profit Center Accounting (Transaction KE5T)
              In classic Profit Center Accounting, transaction KE5T is used to compare account balances. In this transaction, the ledgers to be compare are fixed. If you use Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting, use the general transaction GCAC. You can enter any base ledger and any comparison ledger.

Volume-licensed software has not been registered 90 days after activation

I puchased a volume-licensed copy of Photoshop CS6 from an online reseller, around 90 days ago. I was told it would be automatically registered in My Adobe account after activation, but the serial number does not appear under My Products. It can't be registered manually, as there is a message that the serial number is a volume-licensed product. How can I complete registration, so I am able to get tech support if needed?

Hi dddantes,
There is no need to register a Volume License no as you will get the access to licensing.adobe.com website to manage the serial no. You can contact our support for any technical and non technical issues on 800-443-8158.
Regards,
Abhijit
