Regarding XI's future Enhancements

Hey guys
i have noticed one thing in XI and its that most of the functiinalities have been provided via ABAP as well as Java,which gives me a Idea that SAP is covering both flanks and thats a gud thing,What i want to know is that in future will the thrust be more on Java or ABAP in XI(in terms on development).will Java replace ABAP or ABAP replace Java or no one will replace no one:)
I know its kinda hard to predict the future but just want to get ur views.
I think Java has an edge over ABAP:)
thanx
Ahmad

just my view: ABAP is not a replacement for any thing and at the same time no other language is a replacement for ABAP. java will not replace all the abap functionalities. most of the sap business process lies in the core of abap....and abap is 4th generation language that controls most of complex busniess logic in sap.....except kernal other basis compnents are written in abap. earlier in one discussion i came to know that abap is the only language that goes very near to all the properties of OOPS concept than java.
ABAP can't die because it is the eaeist dev tool . It can be easily seen that if you see development cost ABAP development can be completed in less time as compared to Java.

Future enhancement-Send Campaign immediately

A future enhancement for the email campaingns is the option to send now, not have to go through the BS time scheduler to pick a time today and it dosent get sent.
If I or a client want to send an campaign now why not have that option. Come on Adobe...

There are many reasons BC will not sent it out ASAP. A lot of the time it will and it will start rolling out on the time.
You need to understand when you send a campaign of say 2k for example it wont just send out 2k campaigns. Why? Because BC does not want to be blacklisted, it does not want to intefear with web traffic and clog email systems.
It sends out and monitors and responds based on many statistics to ensure derliverability rather then just pure speed. This for most customers is the most important aspect and has been one of the biggest requests from partners in this regard, and BC had done a lot in that regard.
As Alex mentioned setting it at off peak hours for example will ensure a more imediate derlivery for example.

Is it possible to change my bookmark icon like I can in Internet Explorer, if not can this be a future enhancement?

I utilize the bookmark toolbar to quickly access Internet and Intranet sites easily. When I've set these up in Internet Explorer I am able to change the icon that is displayed to what I want. With Firefox, there does not appear to be an option for this. Most bookmarks appear without any icon. This makes it difficult to identify the correct bookmark visually. Is there a way to do this? If not, I would request that this be a future enhancement.

you can actually try this addon to create some icons : [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/identfavicon/ bookmarks]

Regarding SAP Note 410799 - Enhancement of line item extraction FI-GL, FI-C

Please read this note on this part:
.... Therefore you have to program a function module that reads the customer master in the R/3 system (table KANN1) and fills the ORT01 field of the customer enhancement. In the changing parameter C_STRUCTURE the filled fields of the extraction structure DTFIAR_3 are available to you. With the KUNNR field of extraction structure DTFIAR_3, you can select the respective master data record from table KNA1 and determine field ORT01 of the customer enhancement.....
How do I get access to the fields in C_STRUCTURE?
How do I fill fields in C_STRUCTURE?
thanks!

Hi,
This error due to that you are inserting duplicate records into DSO Key fields.
Check your record in PSA and remove duplicate reocrds from PSA and try to run transformation again or you need to change primary key of your DSO to fit PSA data.
Thank you,

Question regarding stacks, searches and smart collections

Apologies if this is considered a 'basic' question - but I hope that someone can help me.
I'm currently in the process of upgrading/migrating a reasonably large Photoshop Elements 6 catalog where I've made extensive use of hierarchical folder structures, keywords and star ratings to quickly locate photos using a range a different techniques.I've successfully upgrade/migrated the Photoshope Elements catalog into Lightroom 3 and as part of the verification that everything has come across OK - I've done some comparisons of catalog searches in Elements and Lightroom and seem to be getting some strange results which I'm not sure if this is simply how things work or if I'm doing something wrong. I think part of the issue is caused by the fact that Elements always does destructive edits - so I never edited original photos in Elements so made extensive use of copied photos and stacks - but this didn't seem to cause any issues as Elements seem to keep things straight.
In Elements, the result of a query or Smart Collection might return 18 stacks of photos (with most of the stacks containing multiple photos) - but for most purposes Elements simply treated this as 18 seperate photos and simply ignored all of the photos under the top of the stacks.
Now in Lightroom I get different results depending on how the photos are identified. If I use either a keyword or rating search using the 'Right Hand' panel - I get a photo count returned which is always much higher than 18 but Lightroom seems to retain the stacks so only displays 18 different stacks, However, if I put the same search criteria into a Lightroom Smart Collection - it retrives and displays ALL of the photos in the 18 stacks (so it displays 2-3 times more photos) and I can't seem to find a way to get the Smart Collection to honour these stacks. I know that I could probably alter each of my photo stacks and change the rating or keyword of all of the photos under the top of the stack - but trust me this is a huge amount of work!!
Is this simply the way Lightroom works? I can partially understand and accept the way direct keyword or rating searches work using the 'Right Hand' panel - although the photo counts are different from what I've got used to in Elements the way the photos are actually displayed is not that different. However, what really confuses me is the completely different way Smart Collections work when compared to the 'equivalent' direct query. Have I missed something? Or is this some form of technical issue/bug/future enhancement request?
Also, on a slightly related issue - I've noticed that keywords with spaces (or other special characters) seem to cause issues for Lightroom - while Elements seems to cope with these OK. From the reading I've done it looks like one of the most common suggestions is to simply remove the spaces (..etc.) in the keywords - is that what most people would recommend??
Any help, advice or other suggestions would be appreciated.
Kind Regards .... Jerry

Please tell us EXACTLY the steps you are using to move your PSE catalog to Lightroom.
However, if I put the same search criteria into a Lightroom Smart Collection - it retrives and displays ALL of the photos in the 18 stacks (so it displays 2-3 times more photos) and I can't seem to find a way to get the Smart Collection to honour these stacks. I know that I could probably alter each of my photo stacks and change the rating or keyword of all of the photos under the top of the stack - but trust me this is a huge amount of work!!
I believe this is how Lightroom was designed to work. Smart collections don't recognize that some photos are at the bottom of the stack.
Also, on a slightly related issue - I've noticed that keywords with spaces (or other special characters) seem to cause issues for Lightroom - while Elements seems to cope with these OK. From the reading I've done it looks like one of the most common suggestions is to simply remove the spaces (..etc.) in the keywords - is that what most people would recommend??
I have no trouble whatsoever using keywords that have spaces in them. I have keywords that are "New York", "New Jersey", "Union Pacific Railroad", etc. Special characters, such as a comma, will probably cause trouble. Exactly what are you doing where spaces in keywords are not working properly?

Storing version against the page - possible enhancement

Hi, my requirement is to store a version number against each page.
Background:
We export pages and use a version manager called PVCS. This version manager has a facility to automatically update a string such as '$ Revision: $' to the actual version it is allocating when checking into pvcs. If I include the string in the page it is automatically updated at checkin time and I can then display this at runtime. Hence, we can see what version of the page is running at customer sites etc to assist us with issue resolving.
What I have found is there is no specific 'Version' field on the page itself. I have the option to use a field such as 'Comments' or even create a page item to hold the version. Ideally though, it would be simpler and make more sense to have a new Version field. Can I suggest a future enhancement to APEX for this. Developers could then use it to add a version number manually OR do I as require above.
Thanks

Hi,
I like this idea.
You could submit this idea also to Apex Blogs

How to make 32-bit-only add-ons work with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Enhanced Protected Mode enabled?

Hi everybody,
in IE10 I had the chance to use 32-bit-tabs even with EPM. In IE11 my 32-bit add-ons are all marked as "incompatible".
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards, Don

Hi Don,
The ”Enhanced Protected Mode ” feature of Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 has been simplified and it doesn`t provide the “Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode” feature. The Enhanced Protected Mode is based on the 64 bit process.
So that may be the reason.
Here is a link for reference of Enhanced Protected Mode :

Enhanced Interafce Determination Split Mapping Performance factor

Hi,
I want to know is it a good practice to use Split Mapping using the Enhanced Interface Determination (EO-Maintain Order at Runtime is unchecked) and let the JEE adapter handle bundlings, etc.
If the number of messages split are more say in order of thousands, it causes severe stress on the JEE Server and it goes down.
Is Enhanced Interface Determination recommended to be used for high volume or any parmeters have to be tuned for its use.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sudharshan N A

Hi
Enhanced Interface Determination can be used for High Volume
BPM is the other option for multimapping.
But as compared to BPM , Enhanced interface Determination is the better option by performance .

Enhancement suggestions

Just got a new Apple TV. I wondered if I really need it as my TV (Samsung 6 series) already got music streaming and internet capabilities. While I succeeded to a) get music played from Itunes, b) viewing photos and b) watching Youtube videos (a + b with the assistance of EyeConnect) this stand alone solution was brittle and far away from being sofa-compatible. The TV frequently lost the connection or I accidentally hit the wrong key and was back to TV functionality. The usability / ergonomy of Apple TV is superior to all you can do with the current internet capable TVs. Using an iphone as alternate remote control even gives you more comfort; the missing keyboard.
I have a few suggestions for future enhancements: a) more apps!! (e.g. an internet browser), why not apps from teh appstore just like for ipad or iphone? For watching photos, it would be a nice to have full HD resolution and directly watching iphoto slideshows.
I can really recommend this device, it has a very reasonable price.

Enhancement help on MAU needed

Hi,
I am working on MAU enhancement. As a part of this enhancement, I need to add a new page to the existing flow in order details page.
I have created a new JSP page with a input field. On a submit event I want to access the input field value in a view controller. I have written the view controller and try to access the field value from the context. But I always get a null. I referred to other MAU screens (for example time confirmation and new order creation screens). There I can see a custom controller is implemented and the input field values are accessed in the custom controller. What is the significance of the custom controller?
How can I access the field values in view controller?
I have gone throught the enhancement guide but did not see any mention on this.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Nakul

Hi,
if the enhancement Guide does really not help and you have a complete new page that is not part of the enhancement concept, yu can do the following:
the SyncBO can be accessed by the Manager class of the BO.
Mam30010Manager notificationManager = (Mam30010Manager) NamingService.getInstance().lookup(Mam30010Manager.class.getName());
Then you get the SyncBO you need by accessing it via:
Mam30010 mam010 = notificationManager.lookupMam30010(itemKey);
Or if you need the list of all items:
BOList notifList = notificationManager.getMam30010s();
for (int i = 0; i < orderList.size(); i++) {
Mam30010 notif = (Mam30010) notifList.get(i);
OK, then you store the items in an object and store this object in the context
SessionUtil.getSession().setAttribute("notifList", notifList);
after this you can access the item on the JSP page...... this is straight forward JSP development.....
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Oliver
