Pricing: Best way to determine an partial condition amount

Hi,
In our scenario MWST (VAT) is calculated from multiple values/conditions (price and postage&package costs).
What is the best way to extract the VAT value for only one of these conditions? I can only think of extracting this value via ABAP within a routine however this value isn't rounded? Is there a more easy way via customizing/conditions to extract this value?
We need this value to calculate/sum the net-value for postage and package costs.
Kind regards,
Tim

What is the best way to extract the VAT value for
only one of these conditions?
If the requirement will not vary from billing to billing, then you can accordingly assign the From-To step number in your pricing procedure.
thanks

Best way to determine insertion order of items in cache for FIFO?

I want to implement a FIFO queue. I plan on one producer placing unprocessed Orders into a cache. Then multiple consumers will each invoke an EntryProcessor which gets the oldest unprocessed order, sets it processed=true and returns it. What's the best way to determine the oldest object based on insertion order? Should I timestamp the objects with a trigger when they're added to the cache and then index by that value? Or is there a better way? maybe something coherence automatically saves when objects are inserted? Also, it's not critical that the processing order be precisely FIFO, close is good enough.
Also, since the consumer won't know the key value for the object it will receive, how could the consumer call something like this so it doesn't violate Constraints on Re-entrant Calls? http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH34UG/Constraints+on+Re-entrant+Calls
Thanks,

Ok, I think I can see where you are coming from now...
By using a queue for each for each FIX session then you will be experiencing some latency as data is pushed around inside the cluster between the 'owning node' for the order and the location of the queue; but if this is acceptable then great. The number of hops within the cluster and hence the latency will depend on where and how you detect changes to your orders. The advantage of assiging specific orders to each queue is that this will not change should the cluster rebalance; however you should consider what happens if the node controlling a specific FIX session is lost - do you recover from FIX log? If so where is that log kept? Remember to consider what happens if your cluster splits, such that the node with the FIX session is still alive, but is separated from the rest of the cluster. In examining these failure cases you may decide that it is easier to use Coherence's in-built partitioning to assign orders to sessions father than an attribute of order object.

Only changes to orders which result in a new order or replace needing to be sent cause an action by the FIX session. There are several different mechanisms you could use to detect changes to your orders and hence decide if they need to be enqueued:
1. Use a post trigger that is fired on order insert/update and performs the filtering of changes and if necessary adds the item to the FIX queue
2. Use a cache store that does the same as (1)
3. Use an entry processor to perform updates to the order object (as I believe you previously mentioned) and performs logic in (1)
4. Use a CQC on the order cache
5. A map listener on the order cache
The big difference between 1-3 and 4, 5 is that the CQC is i) a SPOF ii) not likely located in the same place as your order object or the queue (assuming that queue is in fact an object in another cache), iii) asynchronously fired hence introducing latency. Also note that the CQC will store your order objects locally whereas a map listener will not.
(1) and (3) will give you access to both old and new values should that be necessary for your filtering logic.
Note you must be careful not to make any re-entrant calls with any of 1-3. That means if you are adding something to a FIX queue object in another cache (say using an entry processor) then it should be on a different cache service.
snidely_whiplash wrote:
If I move to a CacheStore based setup instead of the CQC based one then any change to an order, including changes made when executions or rejects return on the FIX session will result in the store() method being called which means it will be called unnecessarily a lot. It would be nice if I could specify the CacheStore only store() certain types of changes, ie. those that would result in sending a FIX message. Anything like that possible?There is negligible overhead in Coherence calling your store() method; assuming that your code can decide if anything FIX-related needs to be done based only on the new value of the order object then this should be very fast indeed.

What's a partitioned "token cache"?This is a technique I have used in the past for running services. You create a new partitioned cache into which you place 'tokens' representing a user-defined service that needs to be run. The insertion/deletion of a token in the backing map fires a backing map listener to start/stop a service +(not there are 2 causes of insert/delete in a backing map - i) a user ii) cluster repartitioning)+. In this case that service might be a fix session. If you need to designate a specific member on which a service needs to run then you could add the member id to the token object; however you must be careful that unless you write your own partitioning strategy the token will likely not live on the same cache member as the token indicates; in which case you would want a ful map listener or CQC to listen for tokens rather than a backing map listener
I hope that's useful rather than confusing!

Best way to determine if JMS server is alive in a cluster

Can anyone give me an idea on the best way to find out if a JMS server
          in a cluster
          has failed so I can signal migration to another server in the cluster.
          Thanks Larry

Hallo Larry,
          you can go via JMX and retrieve the according RuntimeMBeans in order to
          check the health state of the
          JMSServer resp. the server hosting the JMSServer. If they are not available
          or failed you can trigger the
          migration. At least that's the way I'm doing it...

Best way to determine if document is truly unsaved

Is there a preferred method for determining whether a file is truly unsaved? I'm distinguishing between files that have have been saved and then had some changes made to them (but have a valid name and filePath) and files that have just been created during this session and have not been saved anywhere (other than a temp directory). The only thing I can think of is checking whether an error is thrown by the filePath property; is this really the best way?
(I have looked into both the saved and modified properties, but neither provide this information I am looking for. In theory I could check the name property to see if it starts with "Untitled" but there's nothing stopping a user from actually calling a file that so I'd rather not.)
Quick background: I have a script that lets a user browse to some files and get information about them. Files should be closed after processing, unless of course they were open to begin with. So, I do a check of each file against the documents open when the script starts running and set a flag. Just want to make sure that there isn't a better solution than catching the error.
Brief code:
    var openDocs = app.documents.everyItem().getElements();
    for (var i = 0; i < funcDocs.length; i++)
        var funcDoc = funcDocs[i];
        var fileInUse = false;
        if (funcDoc instanceof File)
            if (openDocs.length == 0) {fileInUse = false;}
            else
                for (var f = 0; f < openDocs.length; f++)
                    try{
                         openDocs[f].filePath;
                    }catch(e){continue;}
                    if (openDocs[f].name == funcDoc.name && openDocs[f].filePath == funcDoc.path)
                        fileInUse = true;
                        break;
            var openDoc = app.open(funcDoc, false, 1147563124);
        else
            var openDoc = funcDoc;
            fileInUse = true;
       //Do something...
        if (fileInUse == false) {openDoc.close();}
I guess I'm looking for a bit of a sanity check that I'm not missing some more straightforward method here. Thanks in advance!

Best way to determine optimal font size given some text in a rectangle

Hi Folks,
I have a preview panel in which I am showing some text for the current selected date using a date format.
I want to increase the size of the applied font so that it scales nicely when the panel in which it is drawn is resized.
I want to know the best way in terms of performance to achieve the target. I did some reading about AffineTransform and determining by checking ina loop which is the correct size, but it does not feel like a good way.
I would appreciate some tips.
Cheers.

What is the best way to work with a large amount of data?

Assume you have a big text file to work that you need to store and work with, what would be the best way to do that?
I will be adding / removing a lot of elements so I really want to stay away from array resizing overhead.
I don't want to step on any toes here, but would binary trees / linked lists in C++ be a better solution?

Assume you have a big text file to work that you need
to store and work with, what would be the best way to
do that?Parse it into a database. Then use SQL to manipulate.

Best way to determine what objects has been selected in a Collection?

Hi all
I´m currently developing an application where a user can create a PDF based on the choices made from multiple collections.
Each collection contatins 10-50 items, and there are about 8 different collections with objects.
Checkboxes are used to select items from these collections.
I´m wondering how I would best determine what choices have been made, and if would be good to remove all objects from
a collection that has NOT been chosen?
Currently, it looks like this (exemple for one collection, but same solution is used for all collections)
private Collection<Texture> textureList = new ArrayList<Texture>();
private ArrayList<Texture> textureResult = new ArrayList<Texture>();
          for (Texture t : textureList) {
               if (t.isSelected()) {
                    textureResult.add(t);
          }After this iteration, textureResult is used to create the PDF.
This PDF contains lists with dynamic frames, so I need to now how many
items was selected before creating the PDF.
Wondering if this is the best/most efficient way to do this though?
Maybe it doesn´t matter all that much with lists this small, but I´m still curios :-)
I guess you could do something like this aswell
          while (textureList.iterator().hasNext()) {
               Texture t = (Texture) textureList.iterator().next();
               if (!t.isSelected()) {
                    textureList.iterator().remove();
          }Any suggetions?

Or do you know how to do that and you're asking how to keep track of those selected items in the Collection?
I don't do GUIs, so I can't help with the first two, but for the third, you could create a new collection holding just the selected ones, or remove the unselected ones from the original Collection.
and if would be good to remove all objects from
a collection that has NOT been chosen?That's entirely up to you. If you create the original Collection when the user makes his selection, and only need it to survive one round of selection, that may be fine. But if you need to get back to the original collection later, and it's expensive to create, then you might want to just create a second collection and add items from the original to it if they're selected.

What's the best way to determine which row a user clicked on via a link?

Hello. Probably simple question, but my googleing is failing me. I have a table, with a column that is a command link. How can I determine which row the user clicked on? I need to take that value, and pass it to a different page to bind it for a different query. I was thinking of setting the result in a session bean? Or is there a better way?
Thanks!

Hi,
You have two options:
1. (Complex) Have your ActionListener evaluate the event to get the source, then climb the component tree up to the table and get the current row data;
2. (Simple) Add a setPropertyActionListener to the link with value="#{var}" target="#{destination}" where var is the table's var attribute value and destination is your managed bean that required the clicked row.

Best Way to Determine if a Table is used in a Report?

Hello,
I'm looking to modify an existing report developed by someone previously employed. I believe they are joining unneeded tables and I'd like to remove them. Is there a method that is useful to determine if a table/view is not being used in the report?
Just looking for any suggestions/advice on how to handle this.
Thanks,

Hi Trey,
Try this.
In your report just goto field explorer ->database fields.
It will the command objects/tables that are added in your report.
If you want see which command object/table used in your report just expand those and check any of the fields belongs to the command objects contains a tick mark .
If there is a tick mark the fields that means the fields are using in that report.

Best way to determine if a number is evenly divisible by a double?

I need to determine if some number is divisible by some other number. A simple solution is:
public boolean isDivisibleBy(double dividend, double divisor)
return dividend % divisor == 0;
}Unfortunately this does not work if the divisor is not an integer (e.g. 1.0 % 0.1 results in 0.1).
I am trying to find a solution with good performance, but hopefully doesn't make the code too messy. I assume someone has solved this problem before, but apparently my Google-fu is weak. :-(
Anyone have a solution they'd care to share?

Sorry, I realized my post did not ask my real question (but you answered too quick for me to edit it ;-) ).
What I'm unsure of is what metric I should use. I was hoping perhaps the maximum imprecision would be determined by the IEEE double standard. I take it from your reply this is not the case? So I should just choose whatever limit I feel will be sufficiently small for my application?
Edit: I've experimentally found 1.0E-16 to be sufficient for the imprecision in my test cases. Since the smallest imaginable divisor for my application would be several orders of magnitude larger than that, I think I will be fine just by picking an arbitrary number.
Still, I would be interested to know if the definition of the remainder function would provide any insight into the maximum imprecision which would be possible.
Anyway, thanks for the help.

SAP CRM Pricing - Tax is not determined sometimes

Hi Experts,
we are using BADI: CRM_COND_COM_BADI to maintain to determine the taxes for every kind of possible business case. With the search values added to strucure CRMT_ACS_I_COM we search in condition table CNCCRMPRCUS00002 for the correct tax that has to be applied.
There is a weird case I have to comment. In old service orders it can happen that no tax is determined. But if I use the same data and create a new service ticket the tax is determined. I have looked into the trace for pricing and get for the old service order the error:
'No search carried out (the key field contents remain unchanged)'
So my problem is what is that key field? We want that everytime the taxes are determined again but I dont know where to start for searching.
Anybody knows this problem?
Best Regards
Oliver

Hi,
within the determination of a condition record from a condition table the fields assigned in the access sequence are considere as key fields. If there is no change to the key fields of an access sequence throughout subsequent executions of pricing the pricing engine will not trigger a search for a condition record again (due to performance reasons).
It is hard to guess why the condition record is not determined. Typical reasons are reguirement formulas, which prevent the condition from being determined or missing key field values, e.g. there might be use cases in the creation of the pricing item, where a certain attribute value is not (yet) known and hence it is not passed to the pricing engine for the determination of a condition.
What happens if you trigger an update of the conditions / pricing for this item in the already existing document?
Best Regards,
Michael

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. 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 boot volume. 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 boot 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 computing device is not something you should have to think about very much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, 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.

Best way to manage "free shipping" products

Looking for suggestions on how best to manage shipping charges at a product/MM level. For certain customer and product combinations we offer free shipping. What is the best way to manage this in master data?
thank you!

Not in Master Data but in Pricing settings. All you have to do is having a price condition that define your fright price, lets say ZFR1. This Condition will have associated an Access Sequence (ZFR1) that will contain a table (lets say 987) with the Customer information (whether you want to do a distinction customer by customer or you want to set an indicator at the customer master record to group several records, lets say in the field Shipping Conditions, where you can set the value Z1 - Chargeable and the same for materials, look for a field you can use for this purpose). The table 987 will have such values (among others that you may need), then in T-Code VK11 you create the Condition Record that fulfill the parameters to determine a fright cost for the customer.
Include the Condition type ZFR1 into the Pricing Procedure you are using for your sales orders and there you go, every time a Chargeable customer is placing a Sales Order with a Chargeable Material the system will determine the condition ZFR1 with the amount you set in Transaction VK11... or, depending on the properties you maintain at the Condition Type you can let the user that is taking the sales order to place the Fright Price manually.
Hope it helps Cheryl !
Saludos!!

Step by Step, what's the best way to shoot slow-mo in HD?

I've read so many articles on here about doing slow motion shooting in final cut but everyone of them left out some important details.
i wanted to see if anyone could give me a step by step on how the best way to shoot something in slow motion in HD would be?
i'm probably planning on just doing this in 720 instead of 1080, but i don't want that to begin to be the topic of discussion, just how how to do slow motion.
some things i want to know about it:
-what is a good shutter speed for this to make the movement look as smooth as possible
-how many frames per second should i shoot? (my camera only goes up to 60fps)
-should i use Cinema Tools in any way?
-any adjustments i might need to do to the timeline in final cut when i drop it in there?
-also, i'd want my whole project video to be done in 720/24p, but i'm guessing for the one shot i want in slow motion i'd have to shoot 720/60p. what do i need to do to get the 60fps footage to work right in a timeline set for 24fps?
if you can't answer all of them, just some help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

-what is a good shutter speed for this to make the movement look as smooth as possible< </div>
that's a tough call because the shutter speed will be determined by three things, your ability to understand what we tell you here, yoru photo subject, and the lighting conditions and ability to control them.
-how many frames per second should i shoot? (my camera only goes up to 60fps)< </div>
You can stop there, 60 is not nearly enough to achieve "smooth as possible" slow motion. You need at least 90 frames per second, 120 is even better, 180 is fabulous. You can research "overcranking," temporal resolution, and shooting slow motion for may hours on google.
Post processing a video clip using optical flow is not a viable solution for most subjects. You must consider renting a camera that will do the job properly. If 60 fps is all you're willing or able to shoot, then you must diminish your expectations and carefully consider your photo subject.

What's the best way to erase content but not the applications?

I'm giving away my iMac to my niece. I want to erase all my content files, libraries ,etc., but not the applications. What's the best way to do this, and to do it securely?

If you have Downloaded and Upgraded to Lion See...
Here is an excerpt of the SLA; the Lion license (purchased from MAS) is NOT transferable. The SLA is quite clear:
B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to athird party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware beforedoing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating systemsoftware that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) andpermanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that:(i) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts,printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, fullor partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the partyreceiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of theOriginal Apple OS license.
Now Proceed...
Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant Quit and shut it down.
When the New Owner Boots it up it's a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.
( The Original Install Disc(s) should also be included with the sale )
