Question on the design

Hello Gurus,
I am new to BW and not quite sure on how to design the current report. I need to take the cost of goods for the sales done on a given period.
1) I can take the billing docs from the billing ODS.
2) The sales order line item completion status from
   sales ODS.( Sales order line item status has to
   be "completed" for the taken billing docs. Other will
   be droped.)
3) Then will have to take all the production orders
   relevant to that sales order line item
(In "Completed" status) and take the average raw
   material cost. When billed quantity multiply by the
   average material cost I will have the cost of sales
   for that billing doc.
My prob is what is the best way to do all these calculations and take the report?
I would be very greatful if someone could give me some advice on this.
DM

Hi Anil,
Correct me if I am wrong...here you are asking to use a multiprovider to join the 3 ODS objects right?
But there will be many billing docs for a given sales order line item. And there can be many production orders for a given sales order line item.
So that way aren't I duplicating the same records for the billings docs which revert to the same SO line item?
How would thid impact on th performance of the query?
Cheers,
DM

A few questions about the design of the scheme

Hello, all!
I want ask some question about design of the scheme.
1) If i store info about user (for example: /Smith/Bob - /phone values{+1 964 258 46 52}), i can request information by user (input parameters: /Smith/Bob - /phone, output:+1 964 258 46 52), but if i want get username by phone i must generate in store second string /19642584652 values{Smith Bob}. But I must duplicate any string - very prodigally. Are existing some work aruond?
2) if i want store some string with different minor key i put: ( /Smith/Bob - /phone, /Smith/Bob - /image, /Smith/Bob - /adress), but i already get duplicate date. Are existing any compressin major`s key? If yes - how it works
3) Are existing in Oracle NoSQL something like secondary index? If exist - how it works?
4) If i want get value by major key, im use get function(for example /Smith/Bob - /phone). How works searching algoritm? What mathematical basis of search?

>
So, some a few clarifying questions.
1) Request comes from the client(to cluster). It identifies the major key. And any rep group understand: contained in it is this line?
2) If contains - they use b-tree map to find the right key (as local index in Oracle DB).
Is it correct?
>
No. Please read the doc and the other forum threads. They explain this issue.
>
Can i use any different algoritm to search, different indexes(function based) for example (on step 2)?
>
No.
when the expected release of this option?Oracle employees cannot talk about future release dates and contents.
What algorithm used to compress the prefix of the key. And how it work`s.If you're interested in the implementation details you can read the BDB JE documentation on key prefixing and the BDB JE source code. See com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig.setKeyPrefixing.

Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

The simple answer is that today PostScript really doesn't fit at all into the Graphic Design process, at least in terms of what the graphic designer needs to know.
Historically, though, the PostScript imaging model, first introduced circa 1984 provided the basis for the initial publishing software including PageMaker, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and even Ventura Publisher. This imaging model included support for continuously scalable text, vector, and raster imagery as well as the concepts of a current transformation matrix that allowed arbitrary scaling, rotation, etc. and multiple color spaces (grayscale, RGB, CMYK, spot, device independent, and color-managed).
The PostScript imaging model was effectively replaced by the PDF imaging model, a significant superset of the PostScript imaging model, by the time Illustrator 9 and InDesign 2 were released in terms of support of ICC color management, transparency, etc.
The fact is that a good graphic designed doesn't need to know anything about PostScript or PDF per sé, but rather about the basics of color (such as issues associated with color gamut and what how that affects display and printing), use of text versus vector versus raster images and why one should keep content at the highest level of abstraction all the way to the rendering (or screen) or RIP process for printing. Some knowledge of typography also helps.

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :

PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

The design of this website is confusing and hard to use.

Adobe are regarded as the industry standard of design software, so it seems ironic (or embarrassing) that this website is so poorly designed. I came here simply wanting to post a question about Flash Player but found it the whole experience to be confusing, bewildering and frustrating.
I will list my ten major criticisms below:
1. ILLEGIBLE FONTS
Many of the site's styles (eg discussion titles) use horribly small fonts, to the point of being illegible and nauseating at normal viewing distance. I have to lean forwards towards the screen to read it. I have never had this issue with any other site I visit. The font used is not a screen font and is simply not suitable for being displayed at that size and looks quite ugly (eg lower case 'e' has no hole). In addition, some of the styles use almost illegible colors (eg gray on lighter gray). This kind of "minuscule" typography might be perfect for a small space (eg application control panels), but for a website displayed on a modern computer monitor (at least 1920 pixels wide) it is totally inappropriate. And my monitor is large, I dread to think how small the text would look on a small screen.
2. UNCOMFORTABLE LAYOUT
The layout spans the whole width of the screen, making it very uncomfortable to use the site. All the important elements are aligned either to the left or the right of the screen, with a vast gap in the middle, meaning that one has to constantly dart one's eyes (or neck) back and forth, which is made even worse by the small font size which requires a person to "move in" towards the screen.
3. LACK OF PAGE TITLES
To add to the sense of disorientation, many of the key pages don't have a title, so you simply do not know where you are or what you are looking at. For example if you go to the main list of all the communities (forums.adobe.com/places), there is no title; nothing to tell you what you are looking at. Likewise, if you do a search, there is no title (eg "Search results"). Having titles at the top of pages is fundamental to web design so people don't get confused about where they are.
4. THE "FORUMS" DON'T LOOK LIKE FORUMS
I was brought to the "Using Flash Player" page by an external link, and when I arrived I was just totally confused about where I was and what I was looking at. The page title "Using Flash Player" didn't tell me I was in a discussion community. The page is littered with so many different links and features it is hard to know where to look and what the purpose of the page is. The page does not have a sense of being a discussion forum. I expect a discussion forum to have the word "discussion" somewhere at the top, with a list of threads and information such as last post, replies, views, as well as a way to see how many threads there are in that forum and a way to navigate between pages and see older threads. Not to mention all the strange buttons which I will mention in my next point…
5. MYSTERIOUS BUTTONS
A good website uses terminology and controls that people recognize and understand. But all the buttons on this site are strange. At the top of each discussion forum we have "Overview", "Content", "People", "Sub-communities" and "Follow". I can honestly say I have no idea what any of those mean or do (with the exception of "Sub-communities"). Websites should use clear, unambiguous language so that people know what the controls do and are not clicking on the "unknown". If your site does have unconventional controls that people are not going to be familiar with, you should have tooltip popups which explain, to make it easy for newcomers. I have clicked on those strange buttons but on the whole I have not been able to work out what they do. The "People" button would seem to be a way of finding users/members but surely that is a rare function and it should be at the foot of the page not in a prominent location? Likewise when you do a search, you must choose whether to search for "Content", "People" or "Communities". Most people will have no idea what the first two of these options mean, I certainly don't. It's just a very weird site.
6. INCONSISTENT LAYOUT
Another confusing thing is that there seem to be as many page layouts as there are pages! Every different page I have been to has no common elements or common menus, everything changes. Even different community pages have different features and different layouts. This leaves you feeling totally disoriented. A website's basic controls and menus should not keep shifting around, it leaves the user with no sense of continuity; it cripples their understanding of how the site functions; and it prohibits them from distinguishing between a page's controls and its content, since both keep changing around.
7. BUGGY
I am less critical of bugs because I know that inevitably they happen, and likewise will inevitably be resolved. But in my brief time using the forums I came across plenty of bugs, two are on the main welcome page:
A) First of all, a pop-up box appears which says "Say Something" inviting me to click on the pencil icon. I then click on the pencil icon and another box appears with options. However, the "Say Something" box is still there and it obscures the box below it. You can't click on it, so you have to click off both boxes, then the "Say Something" box is active again, then you can click on the small "skip" button, and then finally you can click on the pencil icon again and see what was there all along. Not a serious bug, but clumsy.
B) Also on the welcome screen there is a link at the top which says "New to the community? Check out our guidelines". I didn't hesitate to click on this because by this point I felt totally lost and confused and wanted all the help I could get. I clicked on that button and it took me to a page called Community Guidelines. I clicked on the first link ("Find answers to questions") which took me to an error page ("Unauthorized. Access to this community or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here.
8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Finally, the terms and conditions upon signing up are unreasonably long, to the point of being prohibitive. If someone is having a problem with their software, they don't want to have to spend hours reading through terms and conditions before they can even get to ask a question. It is completely out of order to force people to read all those terms and conditions, and especially forcing people to re-read the whole thing any time there is an update. It is simply laziness on the part of the admin. They could carefully go through the terms and conditions and identify the key elements which have been changed and provide the user with a neat summary, thus saving thousands of people many hours of reading. When I take out a mortgage on a house, I have terms and conditions to read, and I expect there to be a lot. But when I simply want to sign up to a discussion forum, I do not expect a similar level of terms and conditions. People can go to, say, Yahoo or Google or YouTube and discuss these issues freely without having to read any terms and conditions at all. By putting up all these barriers you are just turning people away.
9. IDENTITY CRISIS
Finally (and in conclusion) I would say that the site doesn't seem to know why it exists: whether it is aimed at helping the general public or amusing technology lovers?
I would have expected a site like this to be aimed at the general public, since it is promoted as a help resource by Adobe, and covers a very wide range of products, meaning that a very large and wide range of people should be expected to visit it.
However, the site gives the opposite impression. It has what I would call a steep "learning curve", with complex page layouts, full of unconventional controls and features, as well as the emphasis on community. This would all seem to suggest it is more of an exclusive site aimed more at techy people who want to "hang out" here and become regular users. I feel it is excluding laypeople and casual visitors who are simply seeking quick help.
To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help".
If you want a good example of a good, clean, elegant design that is easy to use, go to www.google.com you will notice that the controls are simple and easy: the eye is immediately drawn to the central part of the screen where the main controls are and there are only two buttons. Then if you want to see more advanced features you can go to the smaller controls which are tucked away in the top right corner and do not distract anyone.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Question about Wireless Design and Controller

Hi Everyone,
Although I am not new to Cisco, I have somewhat limited experience with Wireless in general. I was hoping to get your help with the following:
We currently have a total of 8 1130AG, 4 on each floor. They were configured a few years ago, and now we are looking to update the design a bit. Each AP has its own SSID, and just provide internet access. Looking at the configuration, I noticed that they are not configured to use proper channels, just random channels (9, 10, 11, instead of 1, 6, 11, etc.). I noticed that when I roam between one AP to another, I lose about 4-8 pings before I re-establish connectivity again.
Here are my questions:
1. Do I need a controller in order to use just one SSID for the whole setup instead of the 8 seprate ones we currently have?
2. Will the controller helps in providing seamless transition when a client roams between AP's?
3. Is it normal to loose connectivity roaming around?
4. Can I reconfigure the current setup to use just one SSID and provide better transition between AP without the use of a controller?
5. Which controller would you recommend?
We don't have a need to anything fancy ,I am aware that I can enable multiple SSID, VLAN's, etc. Just trying to keep it as simple as possible, yet reliable.
Your input is appreciate.
Thanks

1. With 8 AP's only, a WLC would be nice-to-have but not necessary. You can configure WLSE and it will do some limited functions.
2. This depends on the signal strengths, wireless coverage and configuration. If you enable WLSE, for instance, and you have no wireless black spots, then roaming should be no issues.
3. See #2.
4. You can configure multiple SSID (up to 16 are broadcasted) but if one AP doesn't have the SSID you use for roaming, the association will drop when the client tries to join that particular AP. It's like mobile phone towers. If your carrier is not in the area, you sure won't be able to use your mobile phone in that area.
5. For 8 1130 APs, I'd recommend the smallest of the lot: 2106 with either 6, 12 or 25 AP licenses. I'd recommend you the 25 AP licenses. If your finances allow you something bigger, then consider either the 4402 (25 AP licenses) or the 5508.

Hey guys, I have a question about Web Design

I have been trying to learn webdesign for a few months now, and so far, I am still learning HTML and some CSS. At the moment, my experience is still very thin, I am struggling with things, and I only know how to create simple, static pages. For example I still don't know how to produce "clean code". Or how one determines just how "clean" the code he has produced really is.
I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I have:
I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
I was also wondering what programming language I need to know to do the following:
Create a WORKING Site Search. One like the search bar in the top corner of this page that will return search results from your website... Do I need to know how to program PHP? I've heard that you do need PHP to do this? The same goes for creating e-mail forms, and other forms like this. Do I need PHP for this?
Another thing is CMS systems like Wordpress and Joomla. What is the reason for using these as opposed to just designing a website's pages in Dreamweaver, and then uploading them via FTP to your web server?
And finally, can someone explain to me why CSS is groped like this when it is coded? Why has the Div ID "OuterWrapper" been styled multiple times?
For example: #outerWrapper #feature {
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
^ Couldnt the designer simply have styled "~OuterWrapper" once and left it at that?
Please see below:
#outerWrapper #feature {
    height: 225px;
    width: 880px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    background-image: url(images/feature.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center top;
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
    padding-right: 15px;
    padding-left: 15px;
    clear: both;
    padding-top: 20px;
    background-color: #FFF;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-top-style: solid;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-top-color: #F90;
    border-right-color: #F90;
    border-left-color: #F90;
    background-image: url(images/footer-fade.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: bottom;
    height: 100%;
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
    float: right;
    width: 220px;
    background-color: #DBE7FB;
    border: 1px solid #DCDFE4;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
Also, regarding Javascript: How exactly does one become proficient enough to learn scripting for the thousands of little widgets, and navigation bars, and other functions that Javascript can do out there?
I know a lot of these questions are strange and may be hard to answer, but I am really hoping some of you guys can provide some helpful advice/direction for me to improve with code. I studied as a Print Graphic Designer, and now it's really hurting me in this economy trying to find a job due to the fact that I lack full competency in Web Design... and the longer it takes me to get better at this, the slimmer my chances become at finding work!
I really need help on this, so I would be extremely grateful for detailed and informative answers. Perhaps some links to very good video tutorials on learning how to effectively design webpages - Common things like Javascripted navigation bars, image slideshows, how to design working site search forms and contact forms, and how to use Wordpress. I ask this because there are so many terrbile tutorial videos out there (I know from experience) and it is next to impossible for myself, a beginner, to tell the good ones from the bad.
Thankyou guys.

CMS's like WordPress, Joomla! & Drupal are popular open source (PHP & MySql) frameworks. They contain all the backend PHP code needed to create a dynamic web site that contains capability for advanced functions: site search, on-line editing, shopping carts, member log-in sites, blogs with comments, scripted contact forms, and so much more...
The allure of Open Source frameworks is that they save developers time and money. Instead of building everything from scratch (which can take months), an experienced developer can usually install WordPress on the client's server and be up & running in a few hours without customizations, or in a couple of weeks with customizations.   A firm understanding of PHP, how to set up a server-side database, backing up MySql, CSS theming, and HTML code are required skills to work with these frameworks. WordPress is probably the easiest to set-up; Drupal is for more experienced coders.
I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
You're ready when you can look at code and understand what it means/does. Being able to problem solve, identify mistakes and fix them on your own is a must have skill.

Problem connecting to OIM instance with the Design Console

Hello,
I've got questions about how to use the design console to connect to an OIM instance. I'm not the one who has set up the instance and the one who did cannot help me much. He did give me root access on the machine though.
So first, I'm wondering how do I figure out which port I should connect to. All the doc I can find says that default port is 14000, but I don't understand what it's referring to. I can access to the Web Administration page for Fusion Middleware Control by going to <server_ip>:7001/em. Should I use port 7001? I can figure out that 14000 might not be the correct port because "netstat" does not show anything listening on that port.
My second question is related to the credentials I should use to login to the console. According to the doc and tutorials I found, the user should be xelsysadm. However the person who has set up the instance does not remember having explicitly set a password for this user. Is it possible to log in to the console using the weblogic admin user?
I've tried a couple of things, but nothing has worked so far. I always get an error of some some sort. I always get an Invalid Login, except when I log in with the weblogic user and set the following properties in xlconfig.xml:
ApplicationURL= http://<server_ip>:7001/xlWebApp/loginWorkflowRenderer.do
java.naming.provider.url= t3://<server_ip>:7001/oim
With these config, I get this exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'ejb.stateful.tcDataBase#com.thortech.xl.ejb.interfaces.tcDataBaseRemote' didn't find subcontext 'stateful'. Resolved 'ejb'
So that's pretty much where I'm at. I can't find any information that can help me, so any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
jtellier

try to login in weblogic console the port will be 7001. if you are able to do this then
goto->service->security->realim->select user and groups (try to find the correct path)
create user and then assign administrator groups to this user
login with this user/password into OIM
But for design console you don't need any url. if it is configured. go to <IDM_HOME>/designconsole/ and run xlclient.sh

Tabular Modeling. What is the best practice for importing data into VS to limit the records in the designer?

Should I wrap the queries in a procedure with a @StartDate and @EndDate and create a test partition to pass a small date range?
Or can i use the Table properties screen to put the command there and will it run and not be affected or affect the partitions?This would be nice if this SQL statement on this screen was independent of the partitions and I could just leave it with the the
command text = EXEC TransactionDetail '2014-01-01', '2014-05-31' Especially since if you have many tables that load based on a date range. i would not want to jump in and change that query on all of them.
Is there a a way to have a parameter in the project so all tables would get the same @startDate and @EndDate so I could change it in one place?
And I am not stuck to these questions\options, If there is a better way to mass change the queries to run a subset of data for the designer I'd like to hear it.
Thank You,
Phil

Hi Phil,
According to your description, you are looking for the best way to control the rows that are loaded into a table, right?
When importing data to a table of tabular model, we can apply filters to control the rows that are loaded into a table. After you have imported the data, you cannot delete individual rows. However, you can apply custom filters to control the way that
rows are displayed. Rows that do not meet the filtering criteria are hidden. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below.Filter Data in a Table (SSAS Tabular)
If I have anything misunderstand, please point it out.

What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress?

I am a Designer and Developer/programmer. This is a complete workflow question: What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress? For example, is it:
PS/IL > DW > WP? (Photoshop or Illustrator, Dreamweaver, WordPress?)
Or is Edge Reflow inserted between PS and DW?
PS > ER > DW > WP?
Are these workflows iterative and, whats the word, recursive - we are able to go back and forth?
My understanding is that the Edge tools are not up to the coding standards of DW, and ER > DW (Edge Reflow to Dreamweaver) is not seamless or even practical.
Where does the Stack come in? MAMP (or LAMP/WAMP) of course, jQuery/jQuery UI, WordPress and other items; how integrated are these things?
I used to be a Flex developer and quite comfortable with the Design to Dynamic Deployment workflow of Illustrator or Photoshop to Flash Catalyst to Flash Builder; moreover, I thought the Eclipse IDE was excellent with its database introspection capabiliities, debugging etc. Adobe really pushed this workflow, then instead of innovating and standing behind its own product with 98% market penetration, Adobe disembowelled Flash right before everyones eyes.
What about Prototyping, which is certainly part of the process? Fireworks is on the kibosh. Illustrator, while excelling at some aspects falls short of making a functional prototype (unless you're tying in Acrobat to link the pages), and while Photoshop is Edge Reflows darling, Edge seems redundant with DW and spits out twacky code.
(Muse of course is unusable for professional developers, but it makes you wonder why some of those UI elements where not employed in DW whose interface seems antiquated by comparison).
It seems Adobe is bloody all over the place, more like a rabbing drunk with a microphone rather than the dependable go-to software company for creatives the world over.
In my opinion, workflow from beginning to end is important. Having a million different options to try to accomodate everyone is not. Some guidance in this department is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Dylan

I have not used Edge Reflow myself. Nor do I espically like WordPress. But my typical workflow is:
PS for Design Concept and web images.
DW for CSS, HTML & JavaScript.
3rd party editors like Zend Studio & Navicat for PHP & MySql development.

Hi, just installed CS5 on my MacPro, and updated. Every time I try and select the "Design" workspace, CS5 crashes. All of the other workspaces work just fine. Can someone have a look at this error log and let me know if there's a solution to my problem:

Thanks much,

Thanks very much Chris for pointing me in the right direction. I downloaded FontDoctor, and it found one questionable font which I deleted. However CS5 continues to crash when selecting the Design Workspace. So I followed the steps outlined in the Adobe document you linked. When I got to the point of downloading the FontTest.jsx file and ran it, CS5 crashed right away without writing any log file. I turned on app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.YES, and CS5 is crashing with a TypeError: undefined is not an object. So I don't know if this is related to my original problem, or not. Any thoughts on how to proceed to get the FontTest script to run properly? I took all of the normal defaults when I installed CS5 (e.g., didn't select any alternate paths, don't have any add-ons installed, etc.).

When I insert a format extension the design view disappears?

Hi,
I'm just following one of the tutorial from Lynda.com and found that when I change the format of a variable from a record set something very odd happens ... certainly not what happens in the tutorial.
Okay .. here is what I'm doing ...
I've installed the extension 'PHP Numeric Formats' from the Adobe Exchange and restart DWeaver.
I select the price variable {rsTitles.price} go to Bindings and change the format to the USDollar and as soon as the format is inserted all the images, formatting and text disappears in the design view and is replaced by a number of PHP icons.
Going to Live mode it is displaying ok ... but not being able to see what's going on in the design view is going to limit things somewhat.
All the other formats from the 'PHP Numeric Formats' have the same effect.
I also installed 'PHP Server Formats' (latest version from the programmers website) and the date format works ok .. but doesn't seem to have any currency options.
So first question is: Why is the above problem happening ... Does this happen to anyone else?
2nd question is: May you know of a better extension for currency and numeric formats. that doesn't cause the design view to disappear?
Many thanks for your time and I would really appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
Nick
I've attached some screenshots of the problem

Hi,
Doh! I've just realised what is happening ... my computer restarted but the WampServer (local.host) was not restarted and was not running at the time of applying the extensions. Once it is up and running all the currencies formats work just fine .... as I said before ... doh!
If your looking for formating for currency in an exstension ... I've been using 'FX PHP Formats' avaliable for download free here after registering:

Comprehensible question regarding the usage of a ccBPM in SAP PI 7.31

Hello experts,
I have got basic question about the useage of ccBPM in PI 7.31 double Stack. I haven't created any ccBPM before so the whole set up process is new for me. We are currently using several ccBPM already which where created by our colleagues.
I just have a question about the basic of work of a ccBPM and if the designed process can be realised at all.
The current process should be implemented, starting from the erp system with a trigger report (left side). All the offered function are provided by the called system (right side)
So can this whole process can be realised using ccBPM, so that after the trigger report is called the rest of the process is handled within the pi? The process checkStatus needs to be called within a loop and at the end the generated File should be stored on the file system.
Thanks in advance for clearing my thoughts on this problem guys!
regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
is this a 1-1 correlation? So you have just one sender system and one target system? It might be better then to implement the flow in your sender system and only call single interfaces on PI. While it is technically possible to do everything in PI there is no real added value to do so. BPM is most benefitial when you need to aggregate information from different sources and when the process contains decisions that lead to alternative process steps.

Jörg

Missing Features Within the Design Console for OIM 11g?

Hello, I am currently trying to develop an approval workflow for a connector, however, under the process definition section, when I double-click the type I only have access to 'Provisioning', however many unofficial Oracle guides show an additional 'Approval' type. For what I need to do, I am in need of this 'Approval' choice. Is there an extension for the Design Console?
As far as connectors go, I only have the DBUM connector installed. I am currently using Oracle Identity Manager 11.1.1.3.0.

You'll want to read through the Upgrade document in the 11.1.1.5 version to know what the differences are in the features of 9.x and 11g or you will be asking many more questions about pieces that don't exist where they used to.

Time Capsule needs to be sent back to the design shop!!!!

Clearly this product has serious compatibility issues and needs a lot more work to be part of the Apple family of high quality products.
Mine is going in the bin!

Hard to really address anything or try and help since you haven't posted a question, or provided any specifics.
Personally I'm pretty happy with the design. Looks nice and runs well, we're pretty happy with our unit. I've got one older external drive that isn't recognized when I plug it into the back of Time Capsule, but considering the age of the 3rd party drive I'm not complaining. Besides, there's a reasonable chance that with the next firmware upgrade, that drive may wind up being supported.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with yours.
