PRA interfacing with legacy production accounting applications

Can you share your experiences in interfacing PRA with production accounting systems like Tietonator's EC or P2ES tools?
What is the business case for doing it?
What are the gaps in PRA that are addressed in these tools?

Thanks Larry, I just found some documentation on the connector and this does look
promising. Unfortunately, I'm going to be constrained by what the customer has in
place. I don't know yet if the customer is using WebLogic. They are in South Africa
and I'm here in the east coast and just got this request this morning. I need to
find out more information to make a better decision.
Thanks again for the response.

Our network management system is accessible via a XML over HTTP interface.From
what I gather, the customer wants to interact with our NMS via their clientapplications
which use Tuxedo as their messaging architecture.
From what I've read (only a little today), I will need to create a Tuxedocomponent
that advertises services, accepts service requests, interacts with ourNMS via XML/HTTP,
and packages up the response which is sent back to the client.
Does this sound like the correct path to take?
Any and all comments are appreciated.

Flex interfacing with legacy C/C++ libraries

I would like to know if there is an easy way to interface a new Flex application
to legacy C/C++ libraries?
Thanks.

Supposedly Merapi maes it possible to connect AIR apps to native applications,
but in Flex apps I don't think this is possible because of the sandbox.

Solution Manager Interface with Tools Outside SAP

Does anyone have information on Solution Manager's abilities to interface with tools outside of SAP? I am interested in interfacing Solution Manager with legacy systems and main frame systems (e.g. Informatica). I am especially concerned with Root Cause Analysis, Exception Analysis, and Error Reporting in Solution Manager regarding non-SAP systems. Also, if Solution Manager is able to interface with these systems, can it access details from outside SAP (e.g. data from legacy systems)?

Hi,
The solution manager can be interface with the ARIS.We did in our project this interface.
The Business process flow was defined in ARIS & synchronize with the solman & once configuration is done then we reverse synchronize the same to update the ARIS,so you can interface with legacy also.

I passed in username and password of account "A" to method "LaunchAppWithElevatedPrivilege", and also the application i want to launch, e.g. "C:\windows\regedit.exe", but when i run the service program, i found it do launch
"regedit.exe" with elevated account "A", but the content of regedit.exe is pure back. screenshot as below:
Can anyone help me on this?

You code is not dealing with the DACL access to Winsta0\Default. Only the LocalSystem account will have full access and the interactively logged on user which is why regedit is not displaying properly. You'll need to grant access to your user.
You also need to deal with UAC since that code is going to give you a non-elevated token via LogonUser(). You need to get the full token via a call to GetTokenInformation() + TokenLinkedToken.

Java Application interface with MS Excel through DDE

We have a financial application written in JAVA and have requests from users that want to interface with the application. Meaning, They would like the Java application interface with Excel. For example, if you had a C++ application, you could create a DDE link in Excel that points to the C++ application and receive the data.
How could I do this with a Java Applictaion ? I was told that there was an application written that lets Java interface with Excel.
Any ideas or does anyone know ?

Upgrade applications, with an expired account

I have an iPhone and I use the Apple Store. During the first year I used an iTunes Account to buy some applicationos, with an account that is disable, know. I had to create another one...
When there are upgrades to the applications that I bought with my first account, the apple store ask for password of the first account, that is no longer available.
I can't change the account. I can only insert the password.
When I insert the passowrd (from the respective account) it appears a message informing the the account is no longer available.
What can I do to upgrade that applications?
The others applications, brought with the new account are working fine, when is necessary to make an upgrade, beacuse the iPhone ask for the password's new account that is working fine.

Apps are DRM protected and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. They can only be updated or re-downloaded for free using the account that was used to originally purchase them. To fix this, contact iTunes support and request they transfer the apps in question to your current account. If they agree to do so(most likely they will), they will be added to your pending download queue:

EDI interface with MM

Hi Gurus,
I want to have detailed information on EDI interfaces with MM. A detailed explanation will be highly appreciated.
thanks,
Kumar

Hi
EDI interface with MM can be anything that may be required as per the scenario needed. Any interface to SAP from legacy using EDI application. The most imagined interface can be Say there is a third party system in which Purchase orders or Req are entered by different Buyers and those need to be interfaced to SAP for creating the orders in SAP.
Similarly another thing that can be imagined is Material movements posting from a third party warehouse system
Please let me know if you have any specific question on this.
Thanks

Is it safe to log into websites with my Google account?

There are a lot of websites that allow users to login with a Google account.
Is there any way my Google account information could be compromised from someone hacking the website I logged into with my Google account?
Machine Type: M90z AIO ; Product: 3091CTO (Custom), CPU: i5-650, Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, Memory: 4.00 GB,
Network Card: Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN, OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

I would say, yes, Google's OpenID might be risky depending on what a hacker wants to gain, thus what type of code is used. The website code for that uses a redirect to a page of a website, so it can retrieve your personal data from Google. Should that page become compromised and the redirect go to a malicious page, you may not know. Once there, even if it cannot access your information from Google, an unsuspecting user might be asked to re-login and could be directed to a phishing site.
I think zb420 may be thinking of IP blocking, as opposed to anti-virus alerts which would notify you if your AV sees malicious code on a webpage that you visit. For IP blocking, the issue has to be reported in order for anti-malware applications to add the information to their database. If it is a legitimate site, and the problem is handled within a few hours, as most are, your anti-virus/anti-malware would not help you with IP blocking, unless the redirect is to a known bad site. If the site is not fixed, it would eventually be reported and added to IP blocking by whatever security you are using for that.

Warner/superior electric's SS2000PCi motion controller interfacing with LabVIEW 6i

Sir,
In our application, we are controlling the movement of X-Y arm on the X-Y table. For this we are using superior electric products:
(a) Slo-Syn SS2000PCi Programmable Step Motor Controller
(b) MD808 Motor Drive
We are using two such controllers and motor drives to drive two 2 Amps Sanyo Denki Stepper motors: one each along X-axis and Y-axis. Along with the arm movement a data acquisition also has to be carried out. So, the motion control and Data Acquisition has to be synchronized by means of software. The problem now is to program the controller. Though MCPI Version 4.41 is there, we want to program the controller in LabVIEW 6i so that we can synch
ronize both motion control and Data Acquisition.There is no driver which is compatible to LabVIEW 6i.
Is there any 32-bit DLLs for this controller? If any one has these dll's please let me know. My E-mail ID: [email protected]
So that i can call these DLLs in LabVIEW 6i and program it.Or else send me at least the detailed low level command sets of the controller in pdf format so that i can develop our own drivers.
Regards,
Nagendra

Nagendra,
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any helpful resources for you based on a cursory web search. I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the hardware and ask them if they have a driver (DLL) that you can use to interface with LabVIEW.
Good luck with your application, and have a good day.
Sincerely,
