Problem with decision

Hello,
I have a huge problem with my iPhone 5. After drop a loudspeaker(on the top) doesn't work, so I'm unable to talk with people. Also my front glass is broken, but it's not such a big problem. The question is should I try to sell iP5 and buy iP 5s or pay for service and make my dreams come true and buy a MacBook Air?
In the moment I don't have a laptop, because I don't really need it. iPhone 5 has everything.
Sorry for all mistakes I live in Poland and I'm learning.

Please create a new thread in the forum with your question and give more details in the message about your problem. Posting a different question inside a thread does not get visibility at the forum top level.

Problem with Decision step execution

Hi Friends,
I have a problem with executing a decision step. When I execute the decision using SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE the workitem goes to completed state and doesn't do anything after that. But when I execute the same step from SBWP the subsequent steps gets executed and rest all works fine. I am sure there is a problem with Decision step . The task I am using is TS00008267. Is there a replacement for this step or is there something to do with feature ADVANCE WITH DIALOG or agents .I have agents in place. Please help.
-Rajesh

when I write the decision using FM , the WI is set to completed but
I am not sending any status to workflow container from the task container
. Is this the issue for workflow not able to continue !
There is no necessity of sending any result back to the workitem container. In the decision step container , it contains a standard container element WIResult it will populated based, on the decision you took on the workitem (IF it is a Decisionworkitem).
when I execute the FM to write the decision, the task ( generic decision task)
is not getting executed.
Can you pelase let us know what is the return code, th function module is retruning back, once you try to execute the workitem by using the FM, if it is other than zero then can you please let us know what is the message.
, Before trying to execute the workitem can you please check whether the workitem is stored in the standard workitem header table SWWWIHEAD. as the above function module will validate the workitem from the header table.....

Problem with decision making

Hi All,
I have a customized subview which provides me the required tasks and for the same I have added two more columns for Approval and Rejection which are basically checkboxes.
I have a Submit button as well. Based on the selection of the check boxes I have to perform some action on click of the submit button.
Currently I am getting an error "This action is not valid for this item".And thus I am not able to achieve the requirement of decision making.
I request you all to share your experience so that I can proceed.
Regards
DK

Hi.
If I understand it correctly, the user will either perform the Accept action, or the Reject action.
So why dont you use a radio button group, instead of checkboxes. the given error will not occur.
With checkboxes, you will have 4 altenatives, not two.
Another alternative is using two buttons, which is also used in the workflow scenario. But this option depends on how you have planned your event handling.
regards,
Kshitij.

Voice problems with Lync 2013 Mobile

Hi
I have a situation where Lync 2013 on both iPhone & Android has started giving problems with making and receiving voice calls. There are no problems with Windows, Mac or Phone Edition clients that I'm aware of. I have not tested anything over the VPN,
but this should not be a factor.
For receiving calls - If the user is connected to the LAN via Wi-Fi AND the call is from an internal user, all works fine. If the call is from an external user OR the user is connected via 3G, then the call just shows "Connecting" indefinitely.
This includes transferred calls.
For making calls - If the user is connected to the LAN via Wi-FI and calls either an internal or external users, all works fine. If the user is connected via 3G and calls either an internal or external user, the phone rings, but when it's answered it shows
call ended.

If I query Certificate Information on sip.domain.com with port 5061 or 444, it succeeds and returns the certificate with subject sip.domain.com. If I query 443, it fails with error "An error occurred while retrieving the certificate. Unable to read
data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
On Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer, all tests pass except for the certificate test:
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer is attempting to obtain the SSL certificate from remote server sip.domain.com on port 443
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer wasn't able to obtain the remote SSL certificate.
Running netstat on Lync Edge gives me the following with regards to port 443:
TCP <Internal IP>:443 Lync2:0 LISTENING
TCP <External IP>:443 Lync2:0 LISTENING
Firewall allows connections on port 443 and I've tried disabling the firewall as well. Trying to open https://sip.domain.com in the browser on the Lync Edge fails also, telnet succeeds, but no data is returned.
I've restarted the AV service and also rebooted the Lync Edge server, no change. In the topology builder, I can see that AV is configured to listen on port 443.
Any ideas would be most welcome.

There is no difference in behaviour between normal calls and conference calls. Reproducing the problem seems to require the following:
1. PSTN gateway needs to be involved
2. One party needs to be on mobile client
3. The mobile client needs to be inside the LAN or on a 3G connection, but not behind NAT on a DSL connection
The only conclusion I can make is that somehow NAT makes the problem go away, but it does not affect desktop clients (on the LAN or Wi-Fi at least, I do not have a way to test them on 3G).
The PSTN gateway (Cisco UCM) could also be the problem, but it works fine in all other cases. It has 4 trunks and makes all kinds of routing decisions, but once a call is routed to/from Lync, it should not make a difference on what type of device it is answered.
I'm really baffled by this one. Perhaps the 3G thing is a service provider issue and the issue on the LAN has something to do with the internal DNS combined with the behaviour of the mobile client. Just not sure exactly what.

Problem with Send and Receive Emal In SAP System

Hi gurus!
I have a following quote:
Dear !
I have a problem with send and receive email in SAP system following :
I want to test send and receive email in local network at my company. I
had two server
Server 1 : I setup Exchange Mail Server 2007 with domain controller is
fes.com
Server 2 : I setup SAP ERP ECC 6.0
On Server 1 : I created 2 account ( u1Afes.com and u2Afes.com ) and then I tested send and receive email between u1 and u2 in local network through Microsoft Outlook 2007 -> OK
and then
On Server 2: I had configured send and receive email on SAP system
through tcode SBWP, SCOT and SOST as Note 455140 - "Configuration of
e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP"
for example :
I logged in SAP system with user Basis01 (with email u1Afes.com ) -> then,using tcode SBWP -> new message -> send to u2Afes.com with Internet Mail type and then status message with green light -> sending ok
and then I have used Microsoft Outlook 2007, I logged with account u2 ->check email -> Ok. I saw message which send from u1
Finally, My problem is how can receive mail in SAP system without using Microsoft Outlook
For example:
Login system SAP with Basis01 account (with u1Afes.com ) -> tcode SBWP ->New Message -> send to u2Afes.com
and then
Login system SAP with Basis02 account (with u2Afes.com ) -> tcode ??? ->
To receive email from Basis01 (with u1Afes.com )
Please help me now
Thanks
I replace "@" with "A" because of banning email of this forum.
This quote is about sending email in local network. And we can't receive any email from the outside email address. Addition if I wanna send email to internal email in Internet (we've just tried with email address in local network) What should I config in SAP and Exchange ?
By the way, Is SAP Server IP added to Relay Agent for sending or receiving mail ?

Edited by: An NLP on Apr 6, 2010 7:03 PM

Hi,
This problem is a classic problem of mail routing via Exchange. Exchange like most mail servers use the domain part of the email address as a means to route mails. So I will make an assumption that your main company mail addrss is "User @ fes.com".
So when you send a mail to the "User @ fes.com mail" address the mail is delivered to your Outlook mail address as this is the default route for company.
(Q) So how do you get your Exchange server to relay the mail into the sending SAP system?
(A) The easiest way would be to setup and unique mail domain for your SAP system. I always recommend "user @ client.sid.company.com" which in your case would be "u1 @ 100.PRD.fes.com". You can then instruct Exchange to send any emails addressed to 100.PRD.fes.com domain to your SAP system. Also using this format of address you can configure multiple mail connections into multiple SAP systems.
(A) Another answer would be to enter the "Full" email address (LOcal and Domain part of address) into the routing rule for Exchange e.g. "U1 @ fes.com" so that all emails addressed to this user will be delivered into SAP. However this method requires a lot of Admin as you will have to update Exchange with ALL email address that need to receive emails. Also if your corporate mail address is "U1 @ fes.com" then all mails will be forwarded to SAP.
I would definitely NOT recommend this method but the decision is up to you.
P.S. The IP address of the SAP system is entered into the mail header of the email. This is standard practice in SMTP relay. You can suppress this header in Exchange
Hope this helps

Problem with Matrix/Checkbox/Datasource

Hi, i have a problem with a Matrix.
There are 3 Columns on this Matrix, one of those is a Checkbox. I fill the Columns with data, the Checkboxes where just added (no Checkbox is selected), the user has to select the value (Checkbox)he want's to by hand.
After i filled the Matrix i can see all the data on the Form, it's OK, but then i loose all entries after SBO is doing some work. There where shown only the empty rows and the checkboxes.
I guess it has something to do with the databinding. My problem is that i don't have the Data for this form on a db-table. I fill in the matrix the result of some querys. It looks like i need at least a DB-Field for the checkboxes, otherwise there are not working (not selectable)
Somebody knows a solution how i can keep the Data in the Matrix after SBO is doing some work? What could be the reason that i loose the data after filling it in the Matrix? Is there an easy way?
Thanks Andreas

Almost every item on a form need a datasource... If the item reprecents some data in a table the databinding must be a dbds... If the data does not reflect any data in a table (Calulated value, user-decision, ect.) a userdatasource need to be created...
Add a userdatasource
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add(UID,type,length);
Databind to DBDS
col.DataBind.SetBound(true,TABLE,FIELD);
Databind to UDS
col.DataBind.SetBound(true,,UID);

Problem with Crystal XI and Pervasive (Btrieve)

Post Author: mdcampbell85
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi!
I am experiencing a problem with Crystal XI. Crystal XI Reports will fail, if more than two tables are joined in the query. If only 2 tables are joined, the reports will not fail. These same reports work correctly in crystal 10. And the reports work on sql server. The software I am working with uses a DSN to connect when executing crystal reports. I am using crystal 11 with service pack 3. I might try to see if there are any updates for the ODBC, but I have not tried that yet. I also might try to install a more up to date version of Pervasive. I am currently using 9.10.020.000 of Pervasive.SQL.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
If you are not experiencing this problem, do you have a value stored in registry key \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\JoinBuilder\StarEqualJoinBuilder? If you do, what is the value?
Thank You!
Mark

In case anyone is interested, below is how I solved the problem:
I added a new string value named StarEqualJoinBuilder to the registry. I added StarEqualJoinBuilder to the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\JoinBuilder
I set the value of StarEqualJoinBuilder equal to evbtr13

Problem with network printer on Windows 7 machine

I'm running Mavericks on a Mac Mini. I have a Windows 7 machine with an attached Brother HL-5340D printer. I'm using the Brother HL-5340D CUPS driver. Whatever configuration I use, I cannot get my Mac to print from the Brother. I have even set up dhcp on the Mac and connected to the Windows machine with a cable. I have tried ipp, ldr/ldp, windows, ip, and most of the relevant options under advanced, and nothing works. I've run out of ideas on what to try and how to test and where to look for hints. All I get is the following:
Unable to connect to ‘192.168.33.2’ due to an error.
Not a lot of help.

James Wilde wrote:
1. I forgot to say that it was the Mac equivalent of dhcpd that I turned on so that the Mac is the server, on 192.168.33.1, and it has assigned the number 192.168.33.2 to the Windows box. And yes, I do prefer in these cases to use fixed addresses, but the Windows box seemed reluctant to accept its ip address thus the decision to start dhcpd on the Mac. After that I could not ping the Windows box from the Mac box. I didn't try to ping the Mac from the Windows box. I'll try that tomorrow. As to the network, there are only these two machines on the cable network. The default router on the Windows box is, if I remember correctly, set by dhcpd to the ip address of the house router. I have now disabled the cable network. See below.
Unusual that you could not ping Windows from the Mac. Would explain why you got a connection error with this setup. But if you have now stopped using the cable connection then this is mute.
James Wilde wrote:
2. The network profile is set to Home on the Windows box. I don't see any references to Homegroup in any of my messages on this topic. If you are referring to another post I made on a different subject, I am aware of the problems with Homegroup, and as far as I know, I have avoided this, since my wife's Windows box is the only Windows box in the house. Everything else is either Mac or Ubuntu, apart from one or two Windows virtual machines on my Mac and Ubuntu boxes.
No, you didn't mention Homegroup but you did mention not being able to see the Windows computer "Incidentally I now find that I can't get any result from selecting Windows in the Add Printer dialog." So I thought I would mention that Homegroup can cause this.
James Wilde wrote:
3. I've tried all three options in the Add printer dialog, IP, Windows, and Advanced. Under Advanced I have tried lpd and spoolss and ipp, under ip I have tried ipp and lpd. The share name is Brother-HL-5340D, and the hyphen between Brother and HL I put there myself to make it one 'word'.
I've just tried your suggestion and get the following when I click on Add.
Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to ‘192.168.1.202’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
I've seen this occur when the LPD process is not working. Open the Services pane on the PC and check the LPD service has started. If it is running and you still get the error message, what happens if you say yes to creating the printer?
James Wilde wrote:
As i said, I have disabled the cable network and am using the house wifi network (all machines with fixed IPs). I can ping the computer and have just mounted a disk on her computer with smb using Finder/Go. The mount does appear to be read only, but at least I can open all the folders.
Anything else I can try?
That is a good outcome. Proves there is a functional path between both computers.
Since you can connect using SMB, and if you cannot LPD to work, then try adding the printer again using the Windows view in the Add printer pane. You should see the workgroup used by the Win7 PC followed by the Win7 computer name. Selecting it should prompt you to authenticate (unless you have saved the account in Keychain) and then the printer share name should appear. After selecting the share, select the Generic PS driver as a test to see if you can submit a print job - open the print queue on the Win7 PC to see if the print job appears. If this does work, you can remove the printer on the Mac and add again, this time selecting the Brother driver and then see if this works.

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,
Henrik

Problem with business rule

Hi all,
I have a problem with a business rule (BR) deployed as a standalone Descision service.
the BR consists on a simple decision table wich compare an input (bigInteger) with 50. It returns two facts (as output).
the two conditions are confugured (i.e. <50 and >=50).
the Decision service (stateless) is called in a simple BPEL process. in some cases the the assign activity in the bpel process rise this exception :
<bpelFault><faultType>0</faultType><selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"><part name="summary"><summary>empty variable/expression result. The XPath variable or expression /ns5:callFunctionStatelessDecision/ns5:resultList/ns6:processResponse/ns6:CodeRetour is empty at line 440. An attempt to read or copy data referenced or computed by the XPath expression either had invalid data, according to the XML schema, or did not contain certain optional data. Ensure that the variable or expression result named in the error message is not empty. Enable XML schema validation of related variables to ensure the run-time data is valid. </summary></part></selectionFailure></bpelFault>
it seems like an output of the business rule used by the assign after the invoke activity is empty.
But in the input payload for the decision service all elements are not empty. I can't inderstand how the OBR return an empty variable?
Any help please?

In the taskflow you should be capable to trace step by step what happens in the execution. Does this give any clue, e.g. why sometimes the assert does not work?

10.4.7 update and external firewire problems with HD corrupion

Dear all,
Advised by Jpfresno I started this new topic about Tiger 10.4.7 update.
I will repeat my post and what was happening 2 weeks ago:
“In 5 years 10.4.7 update was a tragedy for my Powerbook Ti 667. When I update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 my 300 GB firewire drive gets corrupted, after repairing it with DiskWarrior and after connecting it to my PowerBook my computer freezes and I must shut it down via powerbutton. Safari also crashes after the update.
I just erase my Hard Drive and after that install 10.4 and update with combo to 10.4.7. But I had the same problems: finder freezes with connected firewire devices and also safari when browsing. I spend a week trying to solve the problem but no luck.
Yesterday and with no firewire devices, 10.4.7 freeze and I have big trouble in order to started my powerbook!!! Even when i insert the 10.4 install DVD it did not detected my HD. Finally I get it to work and install 10.4 and combo update to 10.4.6 and everything works. My external firewire drive and safari. I already diagnose my HD with disk utility, TechTool and directories with Diskwarrior and everything is ok.
I clone my 10.4.6 to firewire, boot from it and everything is working. I let my external drive connected and finder does not freeze.
My conclusion is that the problem is 10.4.7 update. It only give me problems and I was getting crazy with it. 10.4.6 is working good and I do not advice anyone to update to 10.4.7.”
Last week after reinstalling 10.4.6 I started to have HD problems with my Powerbook 667. I did a surface scan with TechTool I it reported bad sector. Then I done a zero disk format but after a second surface scan TechTool also reported bad sector. Then I take the decision to replace my internal HD. I bought a Samsung 40GB Hard Drive and installed it on my PowerBook. Then I have done a clean installation of 10.4.6 with all applications that I need and clone it to my hard drive with Intego Personal Backup software. Everything works on 10.4.6. and external firewire drive.
After that everything is ok. But I decided to test if my problem derivates from 10.4.7 update or from previous HD corruption. Then I install 10.4.7 update on my Internal Hard Drive. Everything is working good but after connecting my external Hard Drive the finder started to freeze!!!!!!!!!. After that I tried cloning HD to external firewire with Intego personal Backup. Everything was working good but when it was finishing the backup process started to give errors!! I started panic. I interrupted the backup process but after and after restart I found something strange with 10.4.7. The system started up, I login but I could not started any application!!!??? All my application died!
Then I have done one more clean installation of tiger and 10.4.6 update.
My conclusions are that the 10.4.7 update causes all the problems that I have on my PowerBook, because I used the same methods and same software/hardware on 10.4.6 and did no have any problem.
This last two weeks were very difficult to me. I tough that these problems do not happen with Apple computers but I was wrong!!! It is very hard to me to deal with it. I always said to my friends that I never had problems with Apple computers. I accept that a hard drive died because the use of it but I can not accept that a system update cause me 2 weeks of hard problems and make me loose precious work information! I always love apple computers and Apple OS but now I am disappointed
If anyone can explain what happen or have a solution for those problems?
Thanks for the comprehension and collaboration.
Best Regards
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, alsvieira.
There are some things you did not check in all of your troubleshooting:
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
2. re: FireWire troubleshooting: Here is some general troubleshooting advice that may help if problems return with your FireWire drive:1. Review the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device".
2. If this problem occurred after installing a recent Mac OS X Update, and you are also unable to mount CDs, DVDs, or disk images perform the steps in this Mac OS X Hints article. This worked under Panther and may also work in certain situations under Tiger.
3. Power-on the FireWire drive before starting up (booting) your Mac.
4. Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
5. Resett the power-management chip in your Mac.
6. Try a different FireWire port. James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech, has published FireWire Port Failures in Host Computers and Peripheral Devices, a white paper providing backgroud information and technical analysis concerning the causes of failure for FireWire ports. This may provide additional diagnostic information.
7. Micromat TechTool Pro version 4 can test the FireWire bus in your computer: this tests the bus — not the ports — but if the problem is on the FireWire bus on the logic board, it should reveal it.
8. Check with the manufacturer of your FireWire drive or enclosure to see if any firware updates are available for such.
9. Hopefully, the partition map on the FireWire drive is not damaged. This can happen if the FireWire drive was not Ejected before being disconnected or powered off. If it still refuses to mount, you may need to employ data recovery tools or services: see my "Data Recovery" FAQ.Note that some of the information above is from the "FireWire Problems" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X.

Problem with full-text search in RH8

Hi All,
I've just upgraded from RH6 to RH8 (laptop running Windows XP SP3; RH6 still present on the computer but the RH8 setup program did not seem to have a problem with that: identified an earlier version was present, asked for its serial number, and then proceeded).
RH8 is working just fine, except for one thing: in the WebHelp output I generate, the Search tab displays: "Error: Failed to initialize database".
As a matter of fact, the generation details in RH8 output view state:
Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
This is the case for legacy projects that RH8 upgraded from RH6, but also when I create a project from scratch in RH8.
Now, to add to my confusion, before buying RH8, I had downloaded RH8 trial version and installed it on a spare computer (so it would not interfere with my RH6 installation and projects). The tests with this version were OK (hence the decision to buy the upgrade), and guess what: there was no problem whatsoever with full-text search, neither on legacy projects nor on new projects.
So before I go into the pains of uninstalling / reinstalling (hello registry, it's me again, trying to clean things up ;-), I'd like to know if anyone has any idea why this is happening.
Just to be clear: The RH8 version I bought and installed was a new download, distinct from the initial trial download.
The 3 differences between the trial version and the current working version are:
Trial was on a Vista computer (working version is on XP SP3)
Trial did not have RH6 present on the computer
Trial was version 8.0.0.203, whereas the working version is 8.0.2.208 (immediately after it was installed, RH prompted me to install the updates)
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi All,
Just for the record, IT people here were eventually able to have RH8 full-text search feature working on my laptop by:
1/ Installing an XP virtual machine from scratch, and then installing RH8 on it (we created a small project and generated the webhelp output, just to make sure the search feature did work in that environment).
2/ Using a software virtualization application to capture that RH8 install and deploy it on my laptop.
The problem is not solved, because we still don't know what caused it (conflicting DLLs?), but it looks like we have a workaround - although certainly not a quick and easy one ;-)

Problems with ICQ Nokia Lumia 720

There's a problem with ICQ on Nokia Lumia 720. The fact is that being minimized (not closed) it loses connection, after maximizing it, you have to launch the program again. Who faced this problem, did ya find any decision?

Ask the developer of the app. It is not part of the OS nor is it a Nokia developed app.

Clearing cookies a real problem with iOS

When clearing cookies in a browser on a Mac or PC, the user can select which websites are to have their cookies cleared. With iOS it's all or nothing. Clicking "clear cookies" clears all cookies for all sites. THAT is a problem.
I ran into a problem with PayPal. I was developing a test site for local charities to accept donations using PayPal. PayPal offers the user the choice of paying with PayPal or a credit card. Once you make your choice, you are stuck with that choice every time you attempt to donate since your choice is remembered in a cookie. I contacted PayPay to complain. I was told nothing could be done, it uses cookies for convenience and security. My "solution" was to delete cookies for the site and restart a session. There are two problems with that. First, that advice would have to be passed on to every donor and many donors likely do not know how to clear cookies on their iPhones or iPads. The second is the all or nothing problem. Blowing away cookies to satisfy PayPal blows away information like my preferences for BestBuy, Bank of Nova Scotia, etc. Because of a dumb, dumb decision on implementing its site by Paypal its solution is to seriously inconvenience users.
Yesterday, I updated my Scotiabank app on my iPhone and iPad. Now I cannot access the bank with the mobile app. I called tech support and, guess what, the solution is to clear cookies. Once again I pointed out that clearing cookies on iOS is an all or nothing affair and I am unwilling to blow away all cookies to overcome a problem introduced by Scotiabank with its updated app. I gave the examples that my card number will be blown away for every banking and financial site, that shopping site preferences will be gone, etc.
The real sollution to the problem is site-by-site cookie deletion for iOS. Without that, blowing away cookies to satisfy one website's requirement impacts negatively on all the other websites that use cookies. A fix is needed. App developers have to realize this problem too.

thanks, have done that
posted here because this is an issue that affects EVERY iOS user and raising the issue with iOS users, as well as with Apple, is important
