PPPI Recipe Issue--NO auto GR when CORK if there is no phase in recipe

Hello Experts,
I created a recipe with only one single operation and assign control key PP03 to it, when process order confirmation, there is not auto GR.
And then I add same resourse to this recipe as a phase, and also use control key PP03, this time auto GR happened.
May I understand that system only read the last phase control key to decide auto GR or not?
Thank you in advance.
Richard

Dear Richard,
In the case of process manufacturing,A master recipe consists of a header and several operations, each of which is carried out
at a primary resource. An operation is subdivided into phases.A phase contains standard values for activities. These values
serve to calculate dates, capacity requirements, and costs.
For a process order, confirmations can be made for a phase or several phase or at order level.
So if you want Auto GR for a process order the system expects for a phase (for the last operation)with a control key with auto
GR while executing CORK(in case if no production scheduling profile is assigned)
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Regards

Windows task bar no longer auto hides when I fullscreen a flash video.

Like the question reads, my task bar is no longer auto hiding when I full screen flash videos in firefox. Other than the obvious issue of it just being unsightly and annoying, It also causes a few other problems. One being that the computer no longer recognizes that a fullscreen video is playing so it goes to screen saver, and goes to sleep at its normally timed intervals.

If you're using higher DPI settings, please check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on 'firefox.exe' (=> right-click - Properties - Compatibility tab).

Getting "save as" dialog box to auto populate when combining files in Acrobat X Standard

In acrobat 9 the "save as" dialog box auto populated when I combined files, in Acrobat X it creates binder1 and then I have to click file and save as. Is there a setting that I am missing so I do not have to do the extra step of file, save as?

Windows 7 x64 - iTunes no longer auto launches when I connect iPhone

Hi
Ok so i installed Windows 7 x64 and iTunes x64 but now iTunes no longer auto-launches when I connect my iPhone. My PC has no problems finding my iPhone, it does the camera bit and if I start iTunes manually it syncs the iPhone with no issues.
Does anyone know how I can get iTunes to auto launch again please?

+it does the camera bit+
I dont' think it's supposed to be doing this.
Maybe mindspan's post here will help you

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5, all icons appear as a square on the iOS5 message screen.
Both iOS are the current version and the phones are 4S 64GB
Anybody got this problem

Hi!
What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

There are no decent "Auto Reply SMS" apps out there. Besides for looking everyday in the store, is there a way to be notified when a new one crops up?

I am new to the iPhone world and I have the 4S. I just switched over from the Android World. I know there are no "auto reply SMS" applications out there as I've checked everywhere (store and 'net) looking for one. In this world of trying to be safe while driving I cannot believe Apple as the leader in the industry hasn't developed something yet to deal with this. I entered a shortcut in my keyboard of "qq" to be a "I'm driving right now...." auto text but I cannot believe there is nothing out there right now. My question, besides if anyone knows of anything for a non-jailbroke phone, is how can I find something once it comes out without checking the store so often? I set up a Google alert but is that about all I can hope for??

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

This is enhancement project and some one develops long back.
Regarding point (b) You should be using the java.net.URLEncoder to encode URL parameters, not a base64 encoder.
DocumentSummarizerClient.java I am using base64
Ex:

                    String encoded=Base64Utils.base64Encode(summaryInputData.getBytes());

Issue in OWB mapping - when changing source and target database

Hi,
I need help for resolution of the issue I am facing when moving mapping from development environment to QA.
Here is situation,
We develop ETL using one source, one staging and one target database.
In development we use one control_center for Source to staging and another control center staging to target.
All works fine in development.
Now I have created new runtime repository and imported all OWB projects (with full dependencies, exact replica of development). Now I need to change source and staging and target as different database.
I have created new database location connections and defined/attached DB connectors with stage and target location.
Now issues are
1.     Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a.     One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b.     Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
2.     All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
Not sure how to proceed from here.
I have recreated new repository and re-imported all project/mappings and defined all connection but still same issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vipin

1. Two Staging mapping are not able to bound with source table (giving different error
a. One mapping show error for source synonym translation no longer valid when deploying this mapping , but validation comes without any issue)
b. Other mapping show error for source table/object not bound to repository
The above error were resolved when re-synchronized the table (for few I have to reimport the table) and mapping.
2. All the target mapping show validation successful, but when deploying says “table or view does not exist”. But tables are exists on source stage and target. (also permission are set correctly for target user to read from staging tables).
The above error still pending. My target mapping are not able to deployed/compiled.
For the above I have defined one Staging location to one target target location and target location have connector to staging (not sure if I have to define connector name same as staging location, as I have created DB connector with different name but reference database is same as staging location).
Mapping are assoicated with desired data locatoin and meta data.
control center is also have that data location.
Mapping are configured for the desired location.

Solaris 8 in ultra 2 got panic and auto reboot when install Oracle software

Dear all,
I installed Solaris 8 by selecting 'Entire Solaris Software Group' and select 32 bit support only in an old ultra II machine. Then I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 in the same machine but machine always got panic and started auto reboot when Oracle installed about 17% or 20% or even 70% (I tried install the minimum of Oracle).
What is the problem? Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance,
Vicky

I think you need to check the parameters like SHMMAX etc in /etc/system file as recommanded by oracle if not already added you need to add them .Oracle manuals have a list of these parameters and don't forget to reboot and boot with boot -r after adding these parameters.
Make sure you have sufficient memory or some patch recommanded by Oracle .

Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

AUTO START WHEN CONNECTED

AUTO START WHEN CONNECTED In Backup, NAS to USB AUTO START WHEN CONNECTED: What does this actually mean, in BACKUP of Dashboard? Will it auto sync every time a change takes place on the NAS? Or must the USB be removed and reinserted into the USB port on the MCM?

No, the clue's in the name It's a one-off single process, just triggered by the drive connection rather than by manual starting via the dashboard. When you connect the drive, it will trigger the backup, which will then proceed to the end and stop just as if you had manually started the backup. But at the end, if you want to backup again, you have to either manually restart it or disconnect and reconnect the drive. As it stands today, there is no "auto sync" option within the dashboard between the built-in drives and USB connected ones. It can be set up using SSH and a cron job, but that will be messing aroud with the NAS at the base command line level and will probably invalidate your warranty if things go wrong. Have a look through the suggestions thread as this kind of question (sync'ing in general, not specifically NAS<>USB) comes up quite regularly and has probably been made there, where you can support it and comment yourself.

Is there a known issue for using IE11 when using business catalyst cms

Is there a known issue for using IE11 when using business catalyst cms? I have a client trying to update pages on her site using IE11 and the it says it updates successfully, but the new content is not saved.

I concur with Barry; I see no significant difference in using the Home button vs. the gestures. But the "fade" effect is part of iOS 7.1 and there's no way to disable it that I know of.

Hi BC, I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and h

Hi BC,
I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and holds it, regardless of whether or not a customer proceeds to purchase. OK.
To make matters worse, the stock is only cleared from the shopping cart when the customer closes the browser - not when they close the shopping window.
Now lets say a customer doesn't close their browser for a month - it happens! .. when their stock is finally returned it may throw out our stock levels that have in the meanwhile been adjusted. So their stock will be added on top of an accurate stock take, putting stock in that isnt really available.
This is causing us mayhem.
We have not yet seen if stock is actually returned at all. In the test we did today where we filled a shopping cart then closed the browser without making a purchase, the stock was not returned immediately. So we dont even know when it will be returned - thats IF a customer actually closes their browser. Any solutions out there?
Jo

Hi there,
The way stock is managed in this situation is desirable for many in that case otherwise shopping on a site and adding to cart would not be viable or use friendly.
What you mention about not closing a browser though is a case that is not true. IF you go into the shop settings in the admin you can see the cart restore timer which is by default 24 hours but you can change this to as low as 1 hour if you wish.
