How to replace obsolete download function module in ECC6.0?

Hi Experts,
How to replace obsolete download function module in ECC6.0?
Thanks,
Adi.

Hi,
DOWNLOAD is obsolete FM in ECC 6. To get the same functionality , we need to use
CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG method (It provides the File selection feature)
and
GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.(It downloads the internal table from program to presentation server)
Please see the example below:
Example:

How do I change the SSID on my HP C4599?

I changed my wifi and now my HP Photosmart C4599 cannot communicate with the router because according to the Wireless Network Test Report, the network name (SSID) was not found. All I want to do is somehow get to the network settings on my printer but there doesn't seem to be a way through the panel on the printer.
I am on a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5.
Please help. I've been working on this for hours, even tried calling HP support but they said they could not help me because printer is obsolete.

Download the manual here.

Upgrade from old version to newer version

Hi Guru's,
Here we are Upgrading from 4.5 to Ecc6.0.Can i have which has obsolete in newer version for the Funtion Modules? i want Obsolete listcan you provide me?also please let me know how to find the program obsolete statement in program.
Thanks in advance.
Kumar

Hi,
Incase of upgrade there are two types of upgrade,
1. Unicode error upgrade.
2. Non-unicode upgrade.
What is the difference between SAP UNICODE and NON-UNICODE UPGRADE?
UNICODE: From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode. Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes u2013 such as ASCII and EBCDIC u2013 or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.
NON-UNICODE: This non-unicode error removal is just to replace any obsolete commands or function modules, tables such as, WS_UPLOAD, UPLOAD, etcu2026
I have not worked on UNICODE upgrade, so i could not be alble to tell you anything regarding that.
Normally the below kinds of work comes in a Non-unicode upgrade:
Tables: Replacing TVARV by TVARVC -> Table of variant (MANDT fld added)
        Replacing SADR by ADRC -->address mgmt company data
Tables: Field Changing table BKPF - Acc doc header

Clearing the Cache

Hi
I have been getting to grips with the sun update software over the last 2 days.
In about a years time I see that the cache of downloaded patches will have a great deal of obsolete downloads.
While my servers arent in production I wanted to check how I can clear the cache of updates downloaded to my update proxy (which is also a client, the only 1 I have at present).
It would be nice to be able to delete patches, and other obsolete data (eg READMEs) that are in various directories below: /var/sadm/spool, that are older thatn a certain number of days, but I will settle for a complete clean if thats the only way.
I tried a few things to clean the cache completely (this one was on the forum, but didnt work for me):
cd /var/sadm/
I moved the spool dir and created another with the same permissions and ownership
patchsvr stop
patchsvvr start
But when I do an analyze in the updatemanger gui, I get (right at the end of the analysis, according to the progress bar anyway) a dialog with:
Read System Analysis Data Error
There is an error in reading system analysis data. Click on "Check
for Updates" to restart a system analysis. If the problem persists,
report the issue to your sysadmin or Sun.
Selecting "Check for Updates" gives the same error.
If I move the spool dir back again all is fine.
I tried the same thing with the /var/sadm/spool/cache dir and got the same.
Files are created in that dir.
./cache/collection/https%3A%2F%2Fgetupdates1.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2Fcollection%2Fdefault
./cache/category/https%3A%2F%2Fgetupdates1.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2Fcategory%2Fdefault
./cache/Database/https%3A%2F%2Fgetupdates1.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2FDatabase%2Fcurrent.zip
./cache/entitlement/https%3A%2F%2Fgetupdates1.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2Fentitlement_client
./cache/https%3A%2F%2Fgetupdates1.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2Fdetectors.jar
Any ideas.
Thanks
Trevor

I had a look further at this and, if you remove the *.jar files there is no issue. They are just downloaded again if required.
This is even easier to do if you specify another location for the patches to be downloaded too.
The problem is way less than I initially thought and its just the caching of READMEs viewed through updatemanger GUI and analysis ot available updates.
Still they eventually could do with a cleanout.
Cheers
Trevor

I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?

You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal. Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again. If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works. You're lucky it still works with Leopard. As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Where can I download Obsolete ANO client 2.3.3

I'm using Oracle 7.3.4 Enterprise version and would like to try out ANO but I can't find the download.
Does anyone knows where can I download ANO client for Win95, my curent SQLnet version is 2.3.3, so I need ANO 2.3.3 client.
Thank You

Which Firefox 3 as I take you meant the most recent 3.6 version and not 3.5.* or the old 3.0.*
For Firefox 3.6.17 (current security/stability bug fixes update for 3.6)

HT2404 Hello totally new to mac computer,i need to know is the mac G5 obsolete,i have a chance to get one at a cheap price but it does not come with the os,where would i get os and which one? Thanks for any feedback!

No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.
•Drivers and Downloads for Printers, Scanners, & More - HP Support:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

Opening messages and having them save on desktop rather than mail downloads

how do I make it so that when I click on an attachment in an email message, it will be downloaded into my desktop and not my mail downloads folder. when I had panther, it always just moved any documents or files I opened on the message directly onto desktop so I could find it and move it into the proper folder quicker. I never even used the save function on the message so the downloads folder on my dock would be obsolete. maybe thats why its there, but honestly it takes more time to do it like that so I prefer to just have the ones I need and want to open moved to the desktop as I open it for the first time.

I guess my question wasn't specific enough. Im actually talking about when I double click an attachment that is on the email and it opens with the correct application, the attachment then saves itself onto the Mail Downloads folder which is located under the Library folder. I think what you mean is when I press Save for my attachments, that I can change where it goes. Which is not my concern at this time. With the previous OS, I could double click an attachment and it would immediately save to my desktop and not the Mail Downloads folder in the Libary.

Do I need to download Mini Display Port to VGA update?

I want to be able to watch movies from the MBP on the TV. (Panasonic 32" about 5 years old). Air Play doesn't work through the ATV, the stream is erratic and unwatchable. Both HDMI ports are in use for other things. So I got a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter and a VGA cord and plugged it into the PC input on the TV. I get the screen to come up (no sound, is that normal?) so it seems to work.
Now I read that there is an update for the Mini Display Port to VGA. I downloaded it then was unable to open it because it said it was from an "unidentified source" (Apple!!!!) Do I need this? The article that described this was dated 2009, so I'm thinking it is way obsolete but I want to be sure.
And what about sound and VGA? Do I need a separate audio in connection, and if so, to what input since the PC input is VGA only.
I know that's a lot of stuff. Thanks.
Mid-2012 MPB 13" 2.9 ghz 8 gb ram
10.8.5

Steve1000,
VGA only supplies video, so no sound is normal. You’ll need another connection to provide sound — perhaps through your audio out (headphones) port?
When you have the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter in use, run Software Update; if it doesn’t offer the adapter’s firmware update, then your adapter already has it installed.

Keynote storing obsolete format data, and possible connection to crashes

An “Ah ha!” moment with Keynote leading to a question about how it stores information regarding themes and fonts, and whether this is a bug in Keynote and/or if there is something that end users can do as a work-around. These points came to my attention today when I exported from Keynote to PowerPoint to share a (very inferior ) version of my presentation with a colleague. Note that the Keynote file I exported from has not exhibited any problems related to error messages or crashes.
(1) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to Keynote’s standard out-of-the-box “Gradient” theme since I had used Keynote Theme Park animated “Global Cool” theme (www.keynotethemepark.com). However, even though no slide any longer contained the KTP theme, in doing the export Keynote created a media folder of movies that contained the animated KTP theme. So Keynote is apparently storing obsolete file data and not cleaning up its house after the file is changed.
(2) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to use only fonts that I knew to be on my colleague’s PC. However, when I looked under the “Contents” tab of the resulting Powerpoint file’s “Properties” info, I discovered that Powerpoint was listing all the fonts that had been in the original Keynote file but that I had long since changed to Arial and Arial Narrow. Checking through the Powerpoint file slide by slide confirmed that the original fonts do not appear. Again, it appears that Keynote is storing obsolete information.
MY QUESTION: I am wondering if what I discovered today about Keynote’s “elephant memory” is indicating a bug of some sort, and if so, is there a reasonable work-around for end users that will enable us to avoid having files bloated with obsolete data.
Also, I am wondering if this storing of obsolete file data could be related to the ”missing file” error reports and Keynote crashes that others have noted in this forum and that I addressed in my previous post. The solution I had discovered was a file level work-around, but the question remained as to what had brought it on.
BTW, this is with Keynote 3.0.0 because I reinstalled Keynote recently thinking that this procedure might resolve the crashing problem described in my previous post to this forum; the reinstall didn’t, but the problem was solved at a file level in the manner described in my previous post. Now that I finally have time tonight to upgrade again to Keynote 3.02, when I run Software Update expecting to see the Keynote 3.02 upgrade listed, it’s not there. Hmmmmm.… I know I can get it from Apple’s download site but since the site lists two downloads (3.0.1v2 and 3.0.2), I thought it’d be better to let software update manage this process. Now I’m not so sure.

Thanks, dook and Kyn. Not only does that seem to resolve the issues, but deleting unused master slides dramatically drops the size of the exported presentation (e.g. to 20%).
I wish the Apple Keynote team would provide a way to more intelligently delete unused themes so as to make it easier to email presentations. It seems to me that theere should be a setting available in the export process where one could do this. The only way I could see to do it was one master slide at a time. Please tell me if I am missing something here.
I also wish we could export just a range of slides, e.g. from # to #, or slides selected in the Navigator/sorter/organizer.

I've kept the old version od imovie (6.0.4) through three migrations and now have it on a mac 10.6.8. i prefer it to the new one, but it has recently begun to give me serious problems. is it becoming obsolete?

i've always thought imovie 6.0.4 was the superior product. i've used it edit semi-profesional films. its easy and intuitive, and always gives you what you want, while looking profesional. i have final cut pro, which i use when i have more time or the project is of more importance, but i still love the ease and simplicity of the old imovie. i've migrated it over 4 computers and it has worked fine till about a week ago. it now takes up to 20 minutes to load, frequently drops out. leaves phantom and relic snipets of audio. is there any way i can fix this problem and keep my beloved imovie 6.0.4? can download it from a third party? are the issues because the .app is going obsolete or are there just new bugs on my computer? i've recently uninstalled all my adobe products and put them onto another computer, could that be it? help me obi won, you're my only hope!

klaus 1,
thanx for the reply. i'm on a 10.6.8 snow leopard.
yes, it did arrive via migration, but had been working well for over 2 years, and two years before that on a 10.5, where it had migrated from a mac book g4 where i used it regularly. through all that time and migration, not a single problem
i can't pinpoint the exact 'original' problem, because i'm currently working on two different editing jobs (one serious [a kickstarted campaign] the other, not so much, for my son's pre-school graduation, i was making the school a little video for their website). so during this time, i'm using a combo of; imovie, adobe premiere and final cut pro. and i've had so much pulsing through my computer (and external hard drives), literally hundreds of gigs of HD video, tons of tiff and jpeg files, and much mp4 and aif music files. i often had three or four major applications all open and running simultaneously, so who knows how this all started. but one day, i flipped open my mac, and just clicked on imovie, not a file mind you, but just the icon, and it took like 2 minutes to load (usually 5-10 seconds). i made sure all other apps and windows were closed and tried it again - now 3 minutes to load and it drops out mid edit. and it just kept getting worse.
AND THEN, AFTER IWROTE ABOVE 'I - ME' MADE THINGS, MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
i was aware that there is an old quicktime 7 that gets installed in a 10.6.8 to supplement the newer quicktime x and the various other programs, including imovie, that still use qt 7. i was a bit confused why there even is an icon for qt 7 in the utilities folder, since you never open it directly, it just works behind the scenes. but whatever.
after imovie started acting up, i looked up to see what programs that imovie uses, thinking the problem might be there and found an article that said there was actually an even earlier version of quicktime, (qt 7.0.3 i think) that was specifically made for imovie, but there hadn't been enough major changes in qt to bother imovie, but (there is always a but) there were changes coming that would begin to affect imovie. since the article (i wish i could link it here, sorry) was a year old, i thought maybe the damaging upgrade was already made. so i found this older version of quicktime (the 7.0.3 version) and tried to install it, thinking it would fix my issue, i'd finish the edit, then delete it. but when i tried to open it, it told me, a newer version of of qt was on my computer and i couldn't install it. so very impulsively and idiotically i uninstalled quicktime 7, thinking i would just reinstall it later. but that's when everything went wrong.
SO I MUST STRESS THIS TO EVERYONE! NEVER NEVER NEVER UNINSTALL QUICKTIME.
apparently quick time x is preinstalled into the 10.6.8, in such a way, that its interconnected with like 12 other programs, that will all begin to act erradictly after it is uninstalled. then those 12 programs will each affect 5 more and soon, your computer, then your hard-drive is blown. i tried reinstalling quicktime, but could not. i tried every conceivable way, but could not even find it in any folder. it was gone. and so was qt x.
so when i uninstalled quicktime 7, it affected quick time x in such a way that it stopped working, then could not be found. then all h**l broke loose. every program began to run slowly and started dropping out. functionally, the computer became so slow, it was useless. even typing became slow. i still did not know about the 'never uninstall quick time rule' yet, so i looked for the problem else where.
i opened up activity monitor, and there were no programs eating up cpu, nothing that suspicious. but when i switched activity monitor to show usage in a descending order, i saw kernel task was using between 500-700% cpu. my fans started running furiously and my battery life dropped in half. i would switch off the computer, start it with reset, things would go well for a half hour, then kernel would spike, the computer would get red hot and the fans would go as fast as propellers. since the kickstarter campaign i was working on was on deadline, i had to keep working. so i went out and bought a laptop stand that allows airflow under the computer and has its own fan to cool the computer, that worked for about a day. but since the fan on the stand ran on power from the usb of my computer, my battery life went from very good, to completely dead. nothing. accidentally unplug the cord for a millisecond second, and the computer turns off. when i restart, the time is set to the day and time i bought the computer, and would undo my internet, and i'd have to reset my whole connection.
i spent twelve straight hours, through the night, using recovery programs, like pacifist, stellar phoenix, and others, but could not get quick time back. finally (like 4 hours ago) i called apple, and although i have no warranty or apple care, they took my call and we tried some things, which didn't work.
i had already run disk utility and exhausted all other options. and i was told by apple that since my computer was preloaded (no discs) i could not, erase and reboot, which wasn't really an option anyway.
so apple being the best run company in the country, sends me a new down loadable version of imovie, quick time 7 and quick time ten.
it hasn't arrived yet, but how cool is that?
i have to say though, i'm a bit worried about reinstalling by disc and have no real guarantee that everything will return to normal.
not to mention my battery is dead and snow leopard gives you no way of getting to it. it has to be replaced at an official apple certified store.
so lesson here, never, ever, never, uninstall quicktime. i hope no one else makes this mistake.
thanx and good luck.

Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

How can I get past the iTunes page that offers a free download of iTunes 10+ ?

My iMac G5 doesn't have the Intel Processors and it operates on OS X 10.4. Both conditions make it impossible for me to upgrade to iTunes 10. Every time I attempt to log into the iTunes Store, I am given a page that offers me the opportunity to upgrade to iTunes 10+ and I'm not able to get beyond the page and in to the Store. My account is current and I'm not happy with this strategy to make my perfectly good iMac obsolete and force me to buy a new one in order to access the iTunes Store. I need a way to get beyond the page that offers the iTunes 10+ free download, so I can purchase the music I want. Please help me get around this Apple ploy.
Uncle Jim Serna

Many of us don't like it but innovative Apple staying ahead of the curve means those of us on the other side quickly get ignored. After all, who is it who is spending money on all that hardware and software; the people staying with the newest all the time, or those of us who haven't bought a computer or operating system in 5 years? It's a for-profit company so you can hardly blame them, though it doesn't endear me to the policy of not supporting anything older than 4 years or so.
More in response to your specific issues, with a G5 you can upgrade to OSX 10.5 (which doesn't require Intel except for iCloud and related) which will allow you to run newer iTunes. It's a bit of hassle and some cost.
Alternatively think about buying from some other online retailer such as Amazon and don't forget to write Apple saying what you're doing.
Edit:
A comment on Niel's suggestion, I don't think anything less than iTunes 10 gives you access to the iTunes store.
