Are they multiple versions of the plan and forecast and how is he going to differntiate them?
At what level is the data going to be planned/forecasted - ie co code, gl account, cost centre?
Are the files already planned and just need to be uploaded or does he require a planning application like BPS or IP to do this for him
How are peopel going to upload this data? (we wrote at great expense a user initiated infopackage pload initiated from a VBA menu in Excel - or is he just going to give flat files)
Is the data P&L and/or Balance Sheets - and if so is the data cumulative or movements per period
Does the data contains any SKFs?
He is planning against hierarchy nodes? and the data has to be disaggregated down?
Does the data need to be currency converted and if s t what rate?
Do you ahve to keep multiple currency versions of the data ie you disaggregate per currency code ater converting it
Are youplannign to use GL acount FSVs to group the data and if you are using balance sheets do you need the balance sheet to flip the data based on the debit liabilities/credit assets to opposite FSV nodes
ANythign else - I will have to be there and charge you!

How do you stop BSPs on WebSEAL for asking for user-credentials?

Hi
We are currently having an issue with BSP Pages. When we test the BSP pages on the R/3 system they work OK. When we test them directly on the Portal then they too also work. The problem is that they are not working properly on our Intranet.
The intranet that we use is an IBM Tivoli product (also known as WebSEAL). We currently have WebSEAL SSO to our SAP Portal. This is working OK. When we use WebSEAL to access the portal we are prompted to enter our user-id and password so that the BSP page can be displayed. This should not be happening and it defeats the purpose of SSO. I have attached a screen shot document to demonstate this.
Some time ago we had a similar issue where the transactions on the portal (when executed from WebSEAL) were giving us a Webdynpro time-out error. I later determined that the cookie information was not being passed to WebSEAL. To fix this, I went to the Visual Administrator and went to server >> services >> web container and for the web container "sap.com/irj" I went to the cookie configuration to add a session cookie. By doing this I fixed my previous problem.
Coming back to my problem, I had a junction created in WebSEAL to point to the bsp directory (sap/bc/sap/bsp/*) on the host concerned. I had both a SSL and TCP junction created both resulted in error messages - stating that the client (SAP) is asking for user credentials.
Hoping that I have provided enough information above my question is as follows:
(1) How can I get the BSP messages to work on WebSEAL such that it will not ask for user credentials to be entered? Would this involve making a further change to a Web Container? If so - which container also needs a session cookie to be generated?
Thanks
Kind Regards

Hi Peter
I am having an issue with the re-direct and am hoping you might be able to provide a little assistance. If not then not to worry.
My security department have logged a call with IBM 2 days ago yet have not received any response.
In your document you mention that you need to have a junction to AS-JAVA and a junction to AS-ABAP.
We have created the junctions "/sapep" (for AS-JAVA) and "saphr1" (for AS-ABAP).
The junction /sapep" also contains the junction mapping entries "/irj/" and "/SSOTicket/".
The direct URL to the hidden image is : https://uadsfi01.auiag.corp:53001/SSOTicket/1x1.gif. I have tested this (using my user id and password) and it works OK.
When testing the image through TAM (https://test.insideiaghome.iaglimited.net/sapep/SSOTicket/1x1.gif) we get an "unexpected authentication challenge"
I have reviewed the log below and it seems that we are having an authentication issue with the image:

When logging into the SAP Portal directly general user ids have no problem accessing this (Non-Administrator portal users), however through Tivoli it is causing an issue.
Do you know what may be causing this issue?

We are fellow users and cannot alter your security questions...you need to contact Apple support at an appropriate number found in http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and then ask to speak with someone in account security.

I have connected 7th generation nano. Computer recognizes. itunes does not. I have used all the troubleshooting tips except for the third party security checks, which totally scare me. My computer has just been wiped, professionally. In using the diagnostic checks, it says itunes doesnt recognize the ipod. Can anyone help? Am in the same boat with my ipod shuffle. Computer and itunes do not recognize either. I am frustrated beyond belief. Have spent 3 days rebooting, restarting and troubleshooting. HELP

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

Important Questions to ask when developing in Workflow

Hello All,
I have two questions.
I am not a Workflow developer, but I've been asked to find out information about creating a Workflow process.
Here is what <b>I</b> need to know: What are important questions to ask the end-user when creating a workflow. What needs to be taken into consideration?
Here is an example of the kind of thing we need to do:
Send an email on a weekly basis to different Project Managers a Summary of Project Charges = (maybe CN41?)
Each Project Manager will have different requirements, so I guess one question will be: "What info do you want from this report?". What else do I need to know?
My second question is this: I should be able to output this as an Excel, correct? How much can I customize this? I haven't done much SAP -> Excel work. Only when I go to System -> List -> Save -> Local File ->Spreadsheet.
Thanks for the help.
Don Fields

Hello Don!
WF is quite a complex topic and someone could write a book to answer your questions - actually there is already a good book available -> check: Practical Workflow for SAP
http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H950
Looking at your example their might not even be a need for a workflow but rather a job that runs periodically to send the required information via email to project managers.
Workflow is mostly used if user actions are required e.g. confirm, approve, reject a request or notifications need to be sent to someone after an event or user action occured.
Check this link for getting more information on how to download data to excel:

I have had an IPOD classic 160 for two years now and there has never been a software upgrade?
Why can't the softwrae be updated to allow onboard editing, promotion demotion in a list, erasing and renaming of music files?
Why does it have to be undertaken on a PC?
Come on guys, do something for us old lags with classics please.

issue with my iphone 4s bluetooth. I'm unable to pair my phone with my Motorola S9 Headset. i have paired these two devices in the past and the pairing still works between my headset and my iphone 4.(i do unpair these 2 when trying to pair my 4s and said headset) I have done all the standard rebooting/ turning on& off of the phone and headset that you could imagine without result. this is what it looks like, I will turn on the headset, my phone will discover it, I will tap the icon that relates to the Motorola S9, and after a few seconds a message pops up informing me that the headset should be turned on and that I may need to enter a pairing code. ( there is no option for entering said code that I can find) Also, the same time the bluetooth stopped working for my headset, it also stopped working for my vehicle. to me, this is a phone issue not a device issue. oh, last thing, this all started after powering down my phone a number of times during air travel. any assistance would be appreciated...

SharePoint site is asking for user/password

I just created a new web application on port 80 with anonymous access enabled.
Web application is using host header "portal" which is also defined in IIS under "Bindings" (this was done by SharePoint automatically when I created web application). I have also created a site collection under this web application.
In AAM, default zone is defined as http://portal
I have created "A Record" in DNS (this is single server farm for testing) with name "portal" and using same IP which is assigned to this server which is 192.168.137.121.
Problem is when I try to open http://portal in browser, it asks me to enter user/password even though I am logged in as site collection administrator. And no matter how many times I give user/password it keeps asking me to login again and again.
Even if I disable anonymous access, it asks for user/password. I have reset IIS several times.
What am I doing wrong?

The first thing to check is whether you configured the SuperUser and SuperReader accounts for this Web Application correctly. I've seen this kind of behavior if the accounts are not set in PowerShell or if the accounts are set using NTLM names instead
of Claims. Take a look at the following for more information:

Hi.
I have just bought a ipad mini. I also have a ipad 2. I am unable to connect to my server by wifi with my new mini. When I type in my password it says unable to connect to server.
I have just visited a friend locally and he selected his server from the WiFi list, typed in his password and managed to connect OK. Does anyone know what the problem could be ?

Possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly

hi,
could this be a possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly (and to encourage search before post) (may be atleast for newcomers to the forum, to minimize one-liner questions).
when a user tries to post the question, as the user types or in the preview screen or before he clicks on the submit button, the SCN should show the similar questions/threads (or atleast threads with exactly the same text) asked/discussed before.
then the forum user might click on the links, instead of posting a new one, as the answer could be readily available in existing threads.
this functionality i have seen in yahoo answers.
if you go to answers.yahoo.com and ask a very simple question like
"what is difference between sql and mysql"
then yahoo provides a popup "Wait, we might already have the answer you are looking for:" and it also shows the possible similar questions like:
What is the difference between a MySQL, SQL, and Access database?

I also think it is a cool idea, but unfortunately the "no brainers" are a small group in my experience and will not be detered by this.
We are using a new secret weapon in the past weeks against repeat offenders. Please use the Abuse Report button to report such basic questions when the person is "hard of hearing".
As a side note, also consider that some people are not fluent in English. Or even have no English language skills and use enterpreters. That is of course no reason to be a pain and break the rules (cross-posting, etc) but it does explain isolated misunderstandings.
I once called a repeat offender on the phone because he posted his telephone number in the forums. He could hardly speak any English at all, let alone write it...
Cheers,
Julius

I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series

Hello.
I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series.
1. I see there aren't any print server/bridge/access point for these two new series. Do I have to use previous ones? Or the new ones are in planned in near future?
2. Do I "HAVE TO USE CONNECT SOFTWARE"? Can I just use web interface to do every setting that these routers features?
3. Does expert series routers support guest network and parental control?
4. When I look into informations of these router, some router doesn't give information about backward compatible to older standards. Do I have to consider that as they are backward compatible with older standards?
Ok, that's all for now.
If I need to ask more questions I will do that in this thread as reply

With the New Expert or the Valet Series Router, you still can use the Print Server / Bridge and Access Points.
Well with the Expert and Valet Series router, you have an option to User Cisco Connect Software or you can User Web Interface of the Router. But with the Cisco Connect Software you have an Advantage of creating a Guest Account and using Parental Control , which is not available using the Web Interface.
These both the routers are backward compatible and they can connect to your G Series Product.

My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday. I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank. When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message. The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything.
I'm not happy with HP. Any suggestions?
