Queries about automation

hi all
i am trying to automate an application using windows services
i have written a small code in .net which compares
the max timestamp with the source and brings the data from the remote switch
in short appending the data
now the application works fine
but as it is a critical application
and i new to the programming world i don want to take any risk
can any one just point out some points of failure
now the possible problem according to me might be
the link going down at the time of transfer
for that i used the timestamp so that at the next execution records are fetched after the last timestamp and no records are missed
also i have some doubts over cursor if i am using cursors
and records are getting inserted into the database from the records selected by the cursors does the records get inserted sequentially ie as per the timestamp
or i have to use order by

hey
thanks for the reply even i felt so
i don have much idea about how to do the automation
using oracle
can you just guide me with some links or material
so that i can understand how it can be done
or even the topics name would be fine because i have no clue where to start from
also one more logical question i might sound silly but need to ask
suppose i have billions of record with timestamp as one field
now the records that i select for processing are selected by comparing the timestamp so i guess if all the records are compared with every record in the source than it will slow the process
is there any way wherein if the processing is for suppose for
march than the records are not compared with the previous months data
will partitioning help
if yes can i know where can i learn more about partitioning

Queries about PS module and subsequent integration with MM, SD and PP

Hello Experts,
Am posting the query for the first time so hope you all will excuse if something is not correct. Here is a scenario that I am working on:
- The customer is a project engineering company wanting to use PS (but without networks - ONLY WBS)
- We copy the neutral material BOM to create a project BOM
- We create a multi-item sales order with a/c assignment to different assembly groups from the project structure for deliveries and billing
- Project COST planning (V002 and V000) is carried out
- Material stock must be valuated
Following are the scenarios for commitment and actual costs:
1. Direct procurement:
Process: Material purchased with a PR generated from SO item --> PO --> GR --> IR
Query: I am guessing that commitment will be generated through PO creation for WBS. What about actual? What type of cost element should be assigned to the G/L being affected during GR so that I can get some actual against the WBS?
2. Procure to produce:
Process:
Common Purchase: Material purchased through a normal PO (without a/c assignment to WBS) for common unrestricted stock.
Project purchase: Material purchased through project PO (with a/c assignment to WBS - resulting in commitment generation) and special project stock at the time of GR
Both materials (from common and project PO) shall be used for production of an assembly which is being produced using a production order which is assigned to the WBS element.
Query:
How and when would I be getting the commitment / actual effects here?
- Is any commitment generated when I create a production order?
- Is any actual cost posted when I issue raw material to this production order?
- What if the raw material being issued to production order was not purchased using this WBS? Is the actual cost still loaded on this WBS?
- What happens when I confirm the production order to generate FG stock?
What should I be careful about when defining this scenario and what type of cost elements should I be using?
3. Procure - Produce - Sale
Process: In certain cases, material procured for common stock is issued for project production,
Material produced for one WBS/Project gets issued for another.
Query: How does SAP react in this case about the entire commitments and actual cost postings?
I know there are too many queries but I hope you all understand that it is a project-engineering-manufacturing company so on one side the commitment-actual costs are important to be assigned to right project-WBS. At the same time, they also want to have the flexibility in their production activities.
Awaiting eagerly for all possible help.

Question about Automator using Spaces.

I don't think this is the right place for this question, but I figured I am probably going to need to write an applescript to do what I want, so I decided to put it here.
I have an automation to open some Word documents on my idisk, then open Dictionary, then open Safari with some tabs. But the problem comes in with spaces. I have Word and Dictionary open on Space 1 and Safari open in Space 3. When the automation ends, I end on Space 3 and would like to know how I add a function to set the focus back to Space 1. It's not all that detrimental to the success of my Automation, but I only use Safari for research and would like to focus to end back on word. I have tried switching which apps open first, but I still end up on the 3rd Space.
My other question is, where can I go for reference to commands in Xcode and AppleScript that deal with Spaces? I love using that function and I have had some ideas about scripts that could help me with them, but I don't even know were I would start with commands.

There are several solutions to this.
The first option would be to send the appropriate key command to switch to space 1. If you've left your preferences as the defaults then you can:
<pre class=command>tell application "System Events" to keystroke "1" using {control down}</pre>
Which will send a Ctrl-1 and switch to space 1.
An alternative, which may be even better, is to activate the application you want to be frontmost:
<pre class=command>tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate</pre>
This should activate the application and switch to that application's space.

RFC: Queries about Arch culture and community

Good day everyone,
This is a request for opinions from the Arch community, especially the Arch developers, Trusted Users, and long time users. I am writing a review about Arch Linux which I hope to publish within the next month or so. Unlike most distro reviews, which are actually distro installation reviews, I have devoted a lot of space to The Arch Way, unique technical qualities of Arch, day to day use and maintenance of Arch, and the Arch community. In my view, the community of a distro is much more important than its installation process.
If I may, I would like to pose some questions about the Arch community. FWIW, I have been quietly participating in the Arch community myself for some months now, contributing material to the wiki. Anyway, please take a look at the queries below, and comment on any as you see fit.
Thank you,
Luke Seubert
1. Despite its modest size, Arch has a very enthusiastic community, as evidenced by its internationalization projects, derivative distros, 3rd party repositories, Arch schwag, active forums and wiki, etc. Is this statement true or false, and if Arch does have an especially enthusiastic community, why?
2. Arch is deeply conservative, refusing to deviate from core principles. Still, within these bounds, Arch permits a wide array of innovation. Are these statements true or false, and why? If true, what are the pros and cons of such conservatism? If false, in what way has Arch deviated from its core principles or resisted innovation?
3. The Arch community is fairly harmonious, with little bickering, flamewars, forks or threats to fork, etc. Is this statement true or false, and why? (I have my own theory on the why of this one, and the answer in brief is... dogfood.)
4. How good or bad a job is Arch doing in cultivating new Trusted Users and Arch developers? Does it have a formal mentoring process? It seems the most direct path to TU status is to put together packages in AUR, and eventually have them voted into Community based upon quality and popularity. However, at some point, virtually all of the popular packages will already be in Community or Extra. How does an AUR uploader become a Trusted User then?
5. Hypothetical Scenario:
The Chakra Project successfully completes in alpha, beta, and release candidate Live CD testing, and releases its Live CD - version 1.0 - with the GUI easy Tribe installer, to wide acclaim - DistroWatch even raves about it. Suddenly, there are lots of new Arch users, who never went through the traditional Arch install process, who never "paid their Arch dues", and who are not nearly as clueful because they never RTFW. They are flooding IRC and webforums with really, uh, "basic" questions, and suggesting/demanding new features. How does the Arch community handle this abrupt change in its culture? Has it dealt with such culture shocks before?
6. If only you too could lift cars over your head, would you be more cool, less cool, or as cool as Phrakture, and why? What if you could only lift cars over your head after eating a can of spinach and slamming a six pack of Red Bull? Then how cool/not cool would you be by comparison?

Here are my opinions on these questions and do not necessarily reflect other Arch devs...
1. True. I believe part of the enthusiastic community comes from the fact that Arch requires you to set up your system for yourself. So people become very proud of their achievement of getting their system setup exactly as they like it.
This is an excellent point. There is a nice sense of pride that comes from tweaking your Arch install to just the way you like it. And it is an involved process requiring some modicum of skill.
Also, people have always been encouraged to contribute fixes or start projects to fulfill areas they see lacking. Seeing your work become used by many others is always a good feeling.
Yeah, I have noted this in my rough draft. Arch has amazingly low barriers to entry. Sign up for an AUR account, which is quick and automatic, and get to work. Your status and authority is derived from a roughly consensual meritocracy, as opposed to a hierarchical, bureaucratic process full of gatekeepers, aka potential gateclosers, like most distros.
This simplicity extends to our package manager, which I believe is a major factor in making the AUR as popular as it is. (Note that while pacman is developed primarily by Arch users, it aims not to be tied to any distro).
Allan, could you clarify this comment? How does pacman make AUR popular? While I use pacman to access binaries from core, extra, and community; I use yaourt to handle PKGBUILDs from AUR. I don't quite follow you on this one.
But as always, the principles guiding Arch do get bent when it is sensible to do so. It was always said we don't split packages like many other distros, but we do some splitting these days (e.g. gcc-libs, KDE). We now include info pages and other docs.
Both of which are good moves. A system should have documentation built in, for those occasions when internet access is down. And I might actually take a look at KDE 4 once again, now that I wouldn't have to download a pile of unwanted packages.
3. There are flame-wars every so often... The last one that was probably quite obvious to many was changing rules governing the community repo (requiring votes or 1% usage as defined by pkgstats) and the move to using the official db-scripts (which may be seen as making the TUs less independent).
That is a flamewar that I missed. How does Arch resolve difficult issues? There is no Constitution that I could find, nor any formal governing structure. Is it as simple as lengthy debate, and then Dred Overlord Phrakture decrees?
I have never heard of a treat to fork the distro or components of it. I guess that is because of the attitude of show us a working implementation of a good idea and it will possibly become official.
Well, there aren't forks, but there are a lot of derivative distros, some of them with very different goals. And there are a lot of 3rd party repositories out there, outside of AUR. I wouldn't call that forking, but it is, I guess, extending. I think such experimentation is a good thing - really good ideas might be developed outside of even AUR, and eventually brought back into the Arch ecosystem. I believe some of Xyne's packages got started that way, yes?
Here is an interesting factoid I came up with in my research:
Packages Per Maintainer Ratio - how many packages on average does a maintainer support?
For Debian, the P/M Ratio is 28
When you add up all the Arch Devs and TUs, and divide out the packages in core, extra, and community, the Arch P/M Ratio is 67.
Arch devs seem quite impressive, until you recall that they mostly maintain one version of each package and for only two architectures, whereas Debian devs support 11 architectures for 5 versions - experimental, unstable, testing, current stable, and old stable. (Ugh - is that brutal or what?)
Seen in that light, one has to admire the very hardworking Debian devs, and wonder a bit about those Arch dev slackers. Yet another T-shirt idea! Change the first idea so it now reads, "I'm a slacker Arch developer, and I eat my own dogfood!"

Queries about ASAP, OOAD, technical specification

Hi Experts,
1. Difference between ASAP and OOAD methodologies? With respect to SAP XI project, which methodology could be applied to get good results? Please explain about each, if we can apply both methodologies to XI projects. In real time which methodology is advised to follow.
2. In real time XI project, what sort of quality check/s can be performed on the developed interfaces? It would be great, if any checklist is provided.. before proceeding from Development to QA box.
3. Please clarify about the Technical specification, Functional specification..
-- Each business requirement have specific Functional specification document.
-- Each Functional specification have specific Technical specification etc..
for example, if we have 2 business requirements.. then 2 Functional specs and 2 Technical specs need to be created?
Can some one please clarify my queries?
Thanks in advance
..Shriya

Hi,
>>>>1. Difference between ASAP and OOAD methodologies
sap delivers only ASAP for XI: http://service.sap.com/asap then ASAP for XI link
>>>>3. Please clarify about the Technical specification, Functional specification
funcitonal - what you need to send - for example orders etc what kind of fileds etc..

Issue about Automated Process Traffic light status

Hi experts,
In our system(BW 3.1), we found sth interesting. The automated data load finished. But when monitoring the status using T-code RSMO, we found some traffic lights are set to red. The reason for red light is timeout.
I figure: There is sth such as 'finish flag' for the traffic light to turn green, but after the dataload finished, the system didn't get it, so it waited till timeout.
I am not sure of it, and can't find any material about it.
Could anyone help me to explain this phenomenon?
many thanks and best regards,
Zehua

Hi,
Data will always be loaded into the cube irrespective of the traffic light status. Whether the load is in the cube or no, depends on the processing stage at which it has failed. You can see this in the monitor.
Goto the details tab. There are multiple headings like Extraction, Transfer, Processing.
Extraction and transfer are related to how the data is brought into the system. Processing is when the data is actually loaded somewhere either PSA or infoprovider or both depending on your processing type set in the infopackage.
In your process chain, various processes are triggered depending on the type of link maintained in between two processes. These are of 3 types 1) Successful 2) Failed 3) Always .
If the 1st one is selected, then the chain will move forward, if the previous step is green, 2nd case, if it is red and the 3rd one always.
Regarding why the status are not being updated, check where the load is yellow. If it is transfer, then possiblities are that IDOcs are'nt being set properly, if it is a custom datasource with function module check whether the NO_MORE_DATA exception is being raised properly.
Also check whether there are any short dumps in the source system or the BW system
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Help with queries about boot camp and partition, please.

Hi, I am hoping to partition my HDD. I have done this before, when I first got my macbook but got rid of it, and now I can't fully remember the do's and don'ts' of boot camp. I just need a few questions answered before I take any action.
1. I have a 120GB HDD with about 15GB free space. If I partition the drive will I lose any data on my existing HDD?
2. What is the minimal amount of space I can partition the drive and install Windows?
(I have a copy of Windows XP SP2, and really only need to install it for the use of one program that isn't available on the Apple operating systems.)
3. I tried using Parallels in which Windows took up about 6GB, will it be about the same again? I uninstalled it because I found it to lag a bit.
If you can help with any of these queries I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Maybe you should first get a larger drive; you don't have much more than the minimum 10% free space that Mac OS needs.
Retry with Sun's VirtualBox. Maybe you just need more memory.
Lose data? Step #1: backup.
You may need to backup and erase your hard drive and then restore.
I'd invest in 300GB drive though.

A few queries about SAP B1

Hi,
I am sorry if this is not the right forum to put thes queries to.
I am in the process of evaluating an ERPs for our organization and would much, much appreciate your help/guidance for the following. Unfortunately I couldn't get to this specific infomration on net.
1- How many maximum level we can go to map organization hierarchy, country, regional, zonal, offices, departments, etc.
2- How many maximum levels in COA can we go for
3- Assuming we have 3 levels in organizaion hierarchy and 4 levels in accounts, the records in COA table will be 3 x 4 x (active accounts), or would it be 3 x 4 x (all accounts) or would it be that application will map them at the time of entering a voucher.
The numbers of users we have are around 90, out of which about 60-70 would be accessing the application over the net
4- The current licensing policy for B1 8.8, the one that I could get to on the site was updated in 2004
5- B1 being C/S application, what is the best (performance, cost effective, secure) method of accessing it over the net
6- Some of the users (Top management and Executives) are generall on travelling, can they access the application on mobiles
7- In B1, the procurement cycle starts from Purchase Order. Do we have and Add-on for Pre-PO processes starting from Purchase Request
We want to do our homework before contacting a partner / representative.
TIA!
Aleem

Hi Aleem,
With respect to your quries,I would like to evaluate all your points in the following manner.
1- How many maximum level we can go to map organization hierarchy, country, regional, zonal, offices, departments, etc.
Ans:As far as the mapping of organization concern it is not at all problem in SAP B1.You can map your organization hierarchy as much as you required with the help of the different features available in SAP B1.Now it is further depend on you how you want to map ur organization hiererchy i.e. either at Account level or at costing level only.
2- How many maximum levels in COA can we go for
Ans:Upto 10th level.
3- Assuming we have 3 levels in organizaion hierarchy and 4 levels in accounts, the records in COA table will be 3 x 4 x (active accounts), or would it be 3 x 4 x (all accounts) or would it be that application will map them at the time of entering a voucher.
Ans:In SAP B1 feature is provided with the help of which whenever you will create any account automatically it will put itself in predefined hiererchy of your organization.
The numbers of users we have are around 90, out of which about 60-70 would be accessing the application over the net
4- The current licensing policy for B1 8.8, the one that I could get to on the site was updated in 2004
Ans:SAP B1 introduce the new Current B1 8.8 license policy for the professional user and limited license user.
5- B1 being C/S application, what is the best (performance, cost effective, secure) method of accessing it over the net.
Ans:There are lots of alternative available.Most of our client are using 2x Virtualization,Citrix,Virtual Private network or even terminal server for accesing the SAP B1 server through internet.
6- Some of the users (Top management and Executives) are generall on travelling, can they access the application on mobiles
Ans:Mobile supporting windows operatng software will eneble them also to access the SAP b1 using the same concept of the web technology used for the other users.
7- In B1, the procurement cycle starts from Purchase Order. Do we have and Add-on for Pre-PO processes starting from Purchase Request
Ans:Yes.We have already developed the procurement addon and installed successfully on many of our client.
In case you need any further details we are glad to share our experiences with you.

Few queries about foreign revaluation for vendor/customer open items

I am trying the transaction F.05 for the first time for vendor & customer open items in foreign currency. I have a few queries:-
1. The ouput contains 2 exchange rates. One is picked from the transaction header. My query is from where is the other rate being picked up. In my current system, I could make out that exch rate in transaction header is being picked automatically from table OB08....however I am unable to deduce the source of the 2nd exch rate.
2. What is the significance of "balance sheet preparation valuation". Earlier in test runs, only "new difference" was getting populated. However the user wanted to see "old diff" also. So while doing some trial run in test client, I checked the "bal sheet prep valu" and posted.....after this run, I am getting values in "old diffe" and "new diff" also. And the posted amount is the difference of the two. What is the significance and ideal way?
3. Should the entry be reversed if I am revaluating at year end? Why I am asking is because in some threads I read that revaluation at year is not to be reversed....
Thanks,
SM

1. To find out difference latest date(Key Date for OI Overview) will be taken by comparing with document posted dated. Based on that system shows diffrences
2.   The items are valued using the exchange rate valid at the key date. The
      difference determined in local currency is output and posted. The
      valuation can also be done for parallel local currencies and according to
      different valuation approaches (HGB, GAAP).
      The result of the valuation is required for the creation of the financial
      statements. You should therefore carry out the valuation before the
      grouping of receivables and payables with program SAPF101. The valuation
      difference is then noted in the document. Use the valuation areas to
      calculate a different valuation method, or to save the result for further
      processing activities.
3.   we need to reverse entries .

Basic queries about Form Development

Hello Friends
i am bascially a web programmer and have done little bit VB programming and have idea of event driven programming.I have to help my younger cousin in his project assignment and i have no idea about few things which i think normal in all event driven programming.My Quries are as follows:
1)Retrieve values from text,comboBox
===============================
i create a form by using dataBlock wizard and it automaitcally creaed all text fields on form with dataBlock Name.
now i am writing a ButtonPRess trigger code and i want to retrieve textbox value by using following code
Declare
mytext varchar2(39)
BEGIN
mytext:=myFormBlock.textField
END;
but i am keep getting error identified myFormBlock.textField is not declared.How the hell do i retrieve the data?
2)Display data in ComboBox and manually create insert query on BUtton's press event.
===============================================================
is it possible that i manually create INSERT query in which i retrieve value from form's controls and execute it, rather calling create_Record method of form
kindly help me,i will be very grateful to you.

Thanks now i am encountering another issue.I am getting following error
FRM:40508:Unable to Insert Record
i have following table structure:
Name Null? Type
FACULTY_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(5)

INSERT INTO FACULTY ( FACULTY_ID,FACULTY_NAME ) VALUES (100,:BLK_FACULTY.FACULTY_NAME);
commit
and it is keep giving the error.One thnig i would like to tell that i ran Datablock Wizard and i didnt select Primary Field ,Faculty_id in that wizard for DISPLAY purpose yes i did select for data binding but not for display purpose because I want to send my sequence Id as Id entry.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

General queries about going from Tiger Quadcore to Leopard Octocore

For those who have switched from their Tiger Quadcore MacPros to the new Leopard Octocore MacPros...I had some questions about the set up and how things are running now since its already upto 10.5.2
I run basically these programs:
Adobe Photoshop CS2
ImageReady CS2
Illustrator CS2
InDesign CS2
Dreamweaver / Flash / Fireworks 8
Office 2004
ProTools LE
is there a general lack of support for the CS2 Applications and the Macromedia Applications?
I dont have the funds at my disposal to unload on the entire CS3 Suite ( I REALLY WOULD BUT cant now...so CS2 is my only bet)
Is there still support for the future with CS2 and Macromedia8?
i realize theyre old Apps but they have faired well for me for the past few years
Im just trying to get a general conscious of what to expect ~ i have tried running leopard on this set up ran CS2, Macromedia 8 and Office 04 didnt seem bad at all..but i wasnt sure as i didnt spend all day every day with them and moving to that specific platform id like to kind of be aware of any issues anyone has experienced first hand as there is no going back then - lol.

Moved to Leopard with new Machine and the Bridge in CS2 stopped working and all I can get out of
Adobe is so or this will not be supported.
