Should I Exchange or live with it?

Ever since I got my 13" rMBP haswell I've noticed that battery life is no where near 9 hours.
I get about 5-6 hours of battery life. No resource intensive applications
And 7 hours if I lower brightness all the way down and get rid of keyboard light but then it makes it uncomfortable to use my laptop.
5-6 hours is by all means amazing battery life and if I had the early 2013 that gets up to 7 hours of battery life, I would be satisfied.
But considering my laptop is a late 2013 thats supposed to get 9 hours, I don't feel satisfied.
I've tried everything possible to improve battery life, resetted SMC multiple times, resetted PRAM. You name it, I tried it.
Should I go to the apple store and exchange my laptop for another one hoping it gets better battery life or just live with 5-6 hours of battery life?

You should certainly get it evaluated. What you describe may be caused by a defective battery.

  • Infinity Connection Drops - Told to live with it.

    Hi
    This will be my first post. We have had BT Infinity oin since November 2013. Since install we have had random connection drops maybe 5-6 times a day even when the connection is not in use. The light goes orange and takes aprox 1min to reconnect. Very innoying especially when usung the on demand on the youview box. I am getting the estimated speeds of around 15 mb/sec.
    Ive been on the phone since then with BT (mst be 8 times at least) and been through the standard checks multipal times now.
    The box has been replaced
    We have had an engeneer out who verified our internal wiring is sound. He also said the exchange is almost saturated but i cant see how that would be a prob.
    My neighbours that have BT infinity have no problems. 
    Ive just been off the phone there with BT and after explaining the issue again was put on hold for checks. Thats cool, the guy comes back and says the system is showing a 'cooper line fault.' and was put on hold again.
    After a few minutes I was taken off hold and told that the problem is that my line is over 1km from the exchange and that drop outs should be expected. I was told thatEVERYONE with lines over 1km experience drop outs and this is normal. He would not comment on the fact that my neighbours have no problems.
    When I asked why wassnt i explained this when taking out the connection I was told that we dont tell customers this because we want to make sales!!!! Seriously!?!?
    His only solution was for me to just live with it because 'most of the time you have no problems' or downgrade to 1mb/sec ADSL ...
    Unbelieveable customer service. Is this really the best I can expect?

    Firmware version:
    Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A) Last updated 04/01/14
    4. Board version:
    BT Hub 5A

    7. Maximum data rate:

    There you go.
    I really dont want to have to leave BT I just want them to fix it. I use BTSport regularly and love youview. I just think its a bit much to be told that its perfectly normal to drop out 5-6 times a day and we dont tell customers this in order to make sales.

  • Xperia Live with Walkman on Android 4.0.4 (with screenies)

    My Thoughts on Android 4.0.4 on Xperia Live with Walkman
    -Sleeker Font Style.
    -Camera Shortcut right from the Lock Screen.
    -Able to access the drop down notification bar even when locked.
    -Music Player access right from the lock screen
    -New Owner Info Option display
    -Face Unlock works great on Live with walkman.
    -Awesome new themes. Xperia NXT Style! Although they are only wallpapers, not the live ones seen on 2012 devices. My favorite is Tourquoise (Did I spell that right?)
    -The Performance Assistant will help you disable some of the apps that you dont need.
    -There it is! Official Android 4.0.4. Ice Cream Sandwich. OH YEAHHHH!!!
    -If you repeatedly tap on the Android Version Menu. This little Primitive Droid will surprise you. HEHE!!
    -Oh, and there's also a new logo when you start up your phone : SONY ONLY not Sony Ericsson, and in its ever-so-recognizable font style. =P
    -The Sony Ericsson Liquid Logo has also been changed to Walkman, with a bubbly and quirky animation.
    -Ill try to post screenies if I can.
    -Greatly Improved Android Browser. Seriously, It's WAAAAYYY smoother than the one in GB.
    -The Browser runs smoother than GB.
    -Websites with heavy flash content load smoothly. =D
    -Saved Pages Option to view pages offline.
    - Only Android provides true multitasking capabilities.
    - Hold the Home Button and you will be taken to this new recent/running apps tab. Swipe to the right and that app is closed. =D!!!
    -Widget Preview.
    - A NEW Gallery aside from the Xperia Gallery. The new gallery provides edit options. Like Picsart or Instagram or Adobe Photoshop Express. So, if you want to save some precious memory, stick with the gallery editing options =D
    -HD playback still smooth as ever. I don't know what the fuss is all about. =P
    -Images look fine as they did in gingebread. It really depends on shooting situations.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos doesn't lag for me. Play back is smooth. Same as in gingerbread.
    -Maybe, People are just not used to the new interface, but with a little bit of tinkering, you should get used to it in no time. =P
    -The New Camera Interface. It now includes a dedicated on screen camera button.
    -Captured Photos Quality are the same as in Gingerbread.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos run as smooth as in Gingerbread.
    - The New YouTube App interface.
    - The Lockscreen Music Player
    - There was a review about not seeing the clock due to the music player. Duhhh, you can see it at the upper right corner. =P
    - I love how the album art and the album name also appears. If you are like me who converts songs from youtube to mp3. A little app called Tune Wiki can help you edit its tags so you can enable infinity view. =D
    -The New Dial Pad, which provides Smart Dialing.
    -About the lagginess issue. It takes about 2-3 seconds to start. It depends on how many entries you have in your call log.
    -There's a workaround on it though, access it through Contacts.
    - RAM usage feels the same for me. Good Job on this one Sony. =D
    - I was really worried about RAM ever since I read Sony's article about GB and ICS. They did well on optimizing this one.
    - My screenshot is not the best there is since I was syncing Facebook inside Xperia. But, normally it has about 180mb used and 160mb free.
    - New APPS installed. Some apps like Wisepilot for Xperia can now be moved to SD card, thereby freeing more phone memory.
    - My New Homescreen. It retains the very convenient four corner bubbles.
    - 5 Widget Panes
    - A New Google Search Widget
    - Walkman Player. I was expecting the music player from the NXT series. Hehe, but I guess this will have to do. =D
    - I've never seen the refresh music library option even in the GB walkman player. Through experience, everytime I add a music file it gets added in real time. No refresh required...
    - Oh, and also... I think the speaker is a tad bit louder than before. Like 20% louder. I noted no distortions
    - The orange lights work as usual.
    - Still no customizable equalizer. This is a walkman phone. It has to have superb music customization capabilities. =P
    - Battery usage for me remains the same like in GB.
    -Monster Use/Heavy Gaming : 4 hours (HD games cracked for HVGA screens i.e. Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Need for Speed, Shadowgun, Dead Space)  Although I doubt you could play that long due to the screen size and the cramps you may get from playing. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anyone? Haha.
    -Internet Browsing : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using Stock Player and YouTube App : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using MX player : 4-6 hours (I use it for my .avi files)
    - I use Easy Battery Saver to Optimize battery performance.
    In Super Mode it can last up to 24-36 hours with only texts and calls which I think is pretty impressive. I can go on 16 hour hospital shifts without worying about charging my phone.
    In Normal Mode it can last 8-10 hours.
    -It really depends on how you use your phone. I strongly believe it greatly varies with every user.
    - Don't believe posts that say it doesn't run as smooth as GB. IT RUNS AS SMOOTH AS GINGERBREAD. EVEN BETTER. =P
    - Sleeker new user interface.
    - All of my apps and games still run smoothly on ICS. I'll keep searching for bugs.
    - The ROBOTO font is awesome.
    - I find the interface more intuitive and streamlined than GB.
    - Lots of new features implemented. i.e. Smart Dialing, Face Unlock, Performance Assistant
    - Icons have been remodeled.
    - I also love how fluid it is now when it switches screen orientation. =D!!
    - No bugs for me whatsoever.
    - I miss the quirkiness of the GB user interface. Like the transparency of the messaging app. But I guess, I have to move on, change is for the better.
    - A SOLID AND STABLE UPGRADE. NOW MY XPERIA LIVE IS COMPLETE.
    Problems:
    -Yes, the LED SMS notification doesn't work. But all other LEDs work. i.e. Yahoo Messenger, Incoming Calls, Twitter. I guess they may have overlooked this one. It's the only problem that I see. I find it livable still. Greater good for the greater number of people =P
    -THANKS TO SONY!!! A huge step on the right direction.
    -KIMOZAVE - NOOBIE SMARTPHONE USER

    hi kimozave, ur review seems to be full of praises for ICS, but I have gone through many threads on disadvantages of ICS, so very much confused if I should go with ICS update or not....

    1. Dial pad - I have read its laggy.
    2. The phone is having a hard time authenticating wifi connection when using WPA encryption.

    Thanks,

  • I'll just live with the terrible battery life on my iPhone 5....

    IMHO, each new iPhone has worse battery life than the one before.  I've come to expect this.  They claim the battery is better, but in real life use, this is simply not the case.  I've given up trying to figure it out, I'll bring it into the apple store tomorrow, maybe they'll even swap out the phone for me, but I doubt it will make a difference.  The battery is plain awful, but I'm never far away from a charger, whether it's in my car or office.  I've grown used to it at this point.  Nor am I going to do one of the 10,000 suggestions I keep seeing on here and other forums.  Restore as new?  No thanks, it's just the way I want it, I don't want to spend 6 hours loading everything again.  Turn off location services and apps?  What's the point of offering  a feature if you can't just leave it on and use it?  I have everything (well, almost everything) on.  Wifi, brightness all the way up, location services, it's all on.  Why?  I like using them.  That's why I bought the phone in the first place!
    So, the bottom line is: I'll live with it.  I'll live with having to charge it a few times a day, I'll live with the fact that it'll never be perfect.  I will go to the genius bar just for the heck of it, there are issues with iCloud not backing up, and wifi not as strong as the 4S, and sometimes the usage and standby times are identical, so perhaps mine is defective, but I doubt it'll make much difference.  Sure, 6.1, or 6.0.1 will be released soon to address these issues, as I'm convinced this is mostly a software issue, but at this point I'm done trying to figure this out.

    Hello there, EdisonGurraj.
    The following Knowledge Base article should provide you with assistance in what steps to take to troubleshoot your iPhone's battery life:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Speifically:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman)

    I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman). However, the charging power adapter still here.
    I don't have any other cable.
    My phone's USB port use Micro-B connector.
    If I buy a high quality USB cable with Micro-B connector, will it be compatible for both charging and data transfer?
    Is it necessary to buy the original Sony Ericsson USB cable? If yes, which model should I buy?

  • How to connect to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router

    If the title got you here, then you are probably a Verizon DSL customer who is trying to connect your Xbox to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router and are getting nothing but errors saying, "your NAT is set too high", or, "Your MTU setting is too low", etc.  Well, after many calls to Xbox support, Actiontek support, and Verizon support, I finally came up with the solution myself.
    All that is needed is a little techie know-how about router settings and you'll do just fine!  However, if you are uncomfortable with doing it yourself (and it is really really easy to do!) then you can call Verizon support and have a tech support rep remotely conntect to your PC and make the changes for you: however, you have to speak with someone in advanced tech support and to do that you have to agree to a 1 year support contract to the tune of $14.95 per month in order for them to do it!  Scam???  You be the judge!
    So, here are the steps to take to get it working and by the way, YOU CAN NOT GET THE XBOX TO CONNECT TO THIS ROUTER WIRELESSLY!!  YOU MUST CONNECT YOUR XBOX TO THE ROUTER WITH AN ETHERNET CABLE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!!!  If you don't heed this warning, you will unfortunatly go through all the steps below, only to find that you get the same errors but, ethernet is faster than wireless so it's better!....right?.....right?   (hears crickets chirping)....right?  Oh well, I tried!  Also, you must have your Xbox on in order to change the router settings (which you'll see why later) Anyway, here's the steps:
    1) On your PC, open a browser window and type in the address bar:  192.168.1.1 and press enter.
    2) You will then see the interface on which you will make changes to the router's settings.  If at any time you are prompted for a username and password (which should happen right after you press enter) the defaults are: username: admin password: password.  If you have changed these, enter what you changed them to.
    3)Click on the icon on the top labelled "Advanced Setup"
    4)In the left section, click "WAN IP Address"
    5)At the warning screen, click "yes"
    6)Scroll down until you see "MTU setting" and enter 1370.  NOTElease don't be tempted to either enter 1500 or leaving it at 1500 (which is the default) because you might know that 1500 is the maximum at which this can be set which is TOO HIGH AND WILL NOT WORK!  Trust me and enter 1370 and then click on "apply"
    7)Click on the top icon labelled "Security"
    8)In the left column, click on "applications".  This is where we are going to open the 3 ports that Xbox Live uses to communicate with your Xbox.
    9)In the drop down box labelled "PC Name" select "Xbox 360". This is why you had to have your console on and connected cuz if you didn't, it would not show up on the drop down list!
    10)Under "category" click on the bubble next to "user"
    11)Click on "New" which is one of the blue buttons near the bottom.
    12)As for the rule name, I entered "Xbox" but you can put whatever you want but I'd use that so you know it's the ports you opened for the console.
    13)For protocol, select TCP. (Yes you will also open the same ports for UDP but for some reason if you select TCP.UDP instead of doing them seperatly it doesn't work.....I dunno why!?
    14)For all 3 "Port start", "Port End", and "Port Map Start" put the # 80.
    15)Click "apply"
    16)Now, select UDP and put the same port # 80 and again click "apply"
    17)Repeat steps 13 through 16 except with the numbers 3074 and 53, clicking apply after each one.  What you should have now on the bottom are a list of all the ports you opened, one TCP and one UDP for each number totalling 6 entries.
    18)Click "back" to return to the Applications screen.
    19)If you have to, select Xbox 360 for PC name, and click the bubble next to "user" and you'll now see the entry called "Xbox" or whatever you called it.
    20)Click that entry to highlight it and then click the blue "add" button to the left and then click "apply" at the bottom.
    21)Close the browser screen and turn off your PC and Xbox and any other hardware connected to the router.
    22)Turn the router off and unplug it and wait about 5 minutes.  It can take this long for any residual current in the router to dissapate and for the NAT table to clear itself.
    23)Turn on the router and wait for the internet light to come on green meaning the router has booted and has an internet connection.
    24)Turn on the Xbox AND ONLY THE XBOX!
    25)There is no need to go into network setting as when the Xbox is connected by ethernet, it automatically configures and connects intself.  You can, however go into network settings and perform a connection test but this to is not necessary.
    You now should be able to connect to Xbox Live!  If not, you've done something wrong and must either go through all the steps again or let Verizon do it for you (for a fee that is).

    I followed jtktlw's instructions to the letter.  Problem was I had already enabled UPnP before doing so.  Afterward I disabled UPnP and rebooted....no change.  I reset the MTU to 1500...boom, it works.  Seems for me all I needed was to open the right ports to get it to work.

  • 23" ACD with pink in upper right quarter of screen, live with it?

    I've got a week 28 ACD that arrived as a portion of my not-yet-shipping Mac Pro order. From what I understand this is the new spec version (it certainly is very bright with vivid colors).
    I've been using it for about a week and can't shake the notion that towards the upper right quarter of the screen the color is slightly more pink/magenta than the rest of the display. Frankly, this is only noticeable in gray tones—reds, greens, and blues look fantastic no matter what. Unfortunately there is lots of gray in OS X and in general the work I do tends to include gray from time to time of course!
    I've used both the Apple Display Calibrator and SuperCal. The Apple one helped alleviate the very pink cast the entire screen had with the default color profile, but I found that SuperCal produced much better results giving me neutral grays across the entire screen... almost. The pink quarter (and I swear almost the whole upper half, but that might be my imagination?!??) of the screen remains EVER SO SLIGHTLY different looking.
    I also have backlight bleeding that I'm prepared to live with as it's barely noticeable most of the time. I don't have any image persistence, dead pixels, etc. Is it worth either the long drive to the Apple Store or the high cost of shipping it back for a replacement? Should I not demand perfection? The problem is risking getting a WORSE replacement at a troublesome expenditure of time and money to me.
    I also want to hear if anyone has the same barely-noticeable-pink-in-only-a-portion-of-the-screen issue.
    PowerBook G4 15"/800MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   23" Cinema HD Display

    Sure I have it too ... When I bough my first 23 it was pinkish overall and I finally messed about with the calibrating long enough to accept the result and live with it ... I just bought my second one and now have a pink to green gradient ... can't get rid of it ... Reading the forum I also seem to have backlight leakage and the translucency problem ... Haven't noticed a dead pixel yet ... if that one happens ... there will be a dead salesman at the store ... It's a pitty ... loyalty to Apple only goes a certain way ... thinking of buying Sony LCD's instead ... but then I read they are the same ... Maybe I just have to live with it ... and dream about the paradise holiday I will make with the profits of my edit on these not perfect displays ...

  • Exchange 2007 EXCDO 8206 error in Exchange 2007 SP2 with Rollup 4

    Dear sir,
        We have a problem on Exchange 2007 Server. When user use OWA to access web mail calendar, server event log will show EXCDO error 8206:
    Calendaring agent failed with error code 0x8000ffff while saving appointment
    Type: Error
    Event ID: 8207
    Category: General.
         Moreover server becomes working in very slow web mail response during any user click web mail calendar.   Server performance return back after error message appeared  in event log.
    It doesn't has problem if using Outlook to access mailbox calendar.
    Any suggestion to fix it ?
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    We are also finding the same issue with getting that EXCDO error. The problem stemmed when users noticed some previously accepted appointments disappeared (As I suspect you discovered with your users). 
    The workaround has been to get the user to accept the appointment again by going into deleted items, this seems to add the appointment as it should have the first time.
    We have done the following but it didn't fix the problem:
    Disabled extra SEP features on the clients - No Change
    Disabled non-essential Outlook add-ons - No Change 
    Removed BES Express and CDO MAPI From Exchange server - No Change
    Disabled MS Defender on Exchange - No Change
    Fixed any Public folder errors - No Change
    Disable Window services WSS and UNC sharing feature in Active Sync - No Change
    Also ensured Autoupdate and auto process was enabled for affected users - No Change
    I'm going to try the reg change mentioned in this thread but other than the built in MS Defender we don't have anti-virus on our mail server. 
    At first we thought it was Active Sync as it only seem to impact those with a A/S device, but now it's intermittent for other users using Outlook.  We are currently using Exchange 2007 SP3 with RU13. We are looking at trying an update
    to RU14 but I am doubtful it will fix the problem. Did you have any luck finding a solution?
    Thank you in Advance.

  • Performing Live with Logic Pro - any tips?

    Hello to everyone on this forum,
    I only recently joined, but have been using Logic ever since I learned to engineer my own music.
    I was wonderring if anyone here performing live with Logic?
    I have been using this programm since version 4 and ever so happy with it as far as the recording in the studio is concerned. However the time has come to try and play it all out live.
    Many of my friends suggested Ableton Live. I went ahead and purchased it. But to my great disappointment the midi section of Live is far from perfect. I couldn't get a simple task of changing programs and banks to be communicated to the external modular properly and after a week of frustration I am back on Logic's case.
    Majority of my songs up till recent have all been written with audio files, where Ableton would be very useful, but all the new stuff is using the midi. So I am in split minds about the situation.
    I am not quite sure how to set up a live performance of a few songs in Logic. Any tips here would be appreciated!
    Also do any of you use Ableton and Logic at the same time on stage? Is it safe on one computer? I mean how likely is it to crush during the show?
    Much respect to all in the know.

  • Which Mac Mini should I buy for use with a 65 inch Panasonic GT30?

    Im very interested in surfing the web from the comfort of my Lay Z boy.  I have a 65inch Panasonic GT30 tv along with an Onkyo TXNR609 av receiver that handles everything (DirecTV, PS3, X360, Wii, Apple TV).  My only concern is the lag issue in dealing with the big display.  Should I buy the base modle with the slower processor and upgrade the RAM?  Or should I buy the i7 and rock out that way?  I can afford either but would like to spend the least considering this isnt going to be the main computer in my house.  Thanks for any advice!!

    If you ever (*ever*) want to fire up a serious 3D game (one with a 2010+ appetite for GPU power), go for the midrange model with the real videocard. If you only want to browse the web, maybe do some flash, things like that, the low end model has enough videocard for that. That Mini has the same Intel HD Graphics 3000 as my MBA13/2011 does, and that is currently driving my external 24" 1920x1200 screen just fine. Your TV is 1920x1080, so that even though it may have a lot more inches, it has fewer pixels than that, and it's the pixels that cost GPU power, not the inches. Size doesn't matter, its what you do with it!
    Since you're comfortable upgrading the ram yourself, obviously put in 8 or 16 instead of the 2 or 4 it comes with. The pricing on that ram is insanely low right now and while I'd personally go for the 16 on a desktop machine, I reckon for your intended usage 8 is well more than sufficient (4 would probably work, it does on aforementioned MBA13 after all), and it's about $50ish difference which is not nothing.
    If you can live with a small capacity drive, and are willing to open up the Mini further than just the base cover over the ram, I'd recommend getting a 128 GB SSD and installing it. The Apple price for the 256GB SSD, only on the midrange, is probably not worth it. You can even get a second-hard-drive-kit from one of the two well-known vendors and add the SSD while keeping the existing drive as an internal storage drive.
    P.S.: I don't actually believe in CPU upgrades. Even when you start with the midrange, the i7 is still $100 and that will also buy you that SSD, or get you most of the way to that SSD plus the second hard drive kit. The difference in performance between the i5 at 2.5 and the i7 at 2.7 is really pretty darn minimal, so as long as you're choosing to do one thing and not the other, get the SSD before the CPU upgrade, no question. If you wanna go full-option balls-to-the-wall-everything-maxed, that's another thing, just don't go for the i7 upgrade as the first thing.
    P.P.S.: Now that the 2012 MBAs and traditional MBPs are out, it seems likely that a Mac Mini refresh is coming relatively soon which contains an Ivy Bridge CPU and chipset (which means USB3 and HD4000), a more capable discrete GPU in the versions that have them, and (speculation tempered with hope) one of those new 35W TDP Quadcores in the midrange model, possibly as the CPU upgrade (pretty please, Apple?). It might be worth waiting for. On the other hand, waiting for new computer hardware is also a chump's game. There's *always* something better around the corner.

  • Streaming Logic Live with another studio

    Hey,
    I am constantly doing minor tweaks after I finish a Major mix and it would be handy if i could find a possible way to stream my logic live with another studio. This was not only could the person hear exactly what I am doing but also have the ability to control it. I have tried Virtual Glass but that is having a lot of issues and does not seem to work and Teamviewer is great for controlling but sound does not work and when you run major programs like Logic 9 Pro it just crashs at the other end.
    So if anyone else knows a way possible for me to stream my Logic Pro 9 arrangement with someone else please let me know!
    Thank you

    The only way I could see this working is using the same Logic project on both location and lock the remote system. You could experiment with Euphonix Eucon ethernet protocol to remote control the slave, but you would need their interface (MC control / Mix). I know that Steinberg have (or had) their platform remotely working and users to exchange files and sync. both machines. May be someone else has some better ideas...

    @ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
    Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
    The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
    I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
    They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
    Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
    But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

  • Autorisations : how to live with 0BI_ALL and other analysis object ?

    Hello
    we have an annoying question.
    We went live with 0bi_all in all profiles. Now we are in a production phase where our new users have restrictions (for example 0COST_ELMNT in the finance area).
    What should we do ?
    - suppress 0BI_ALL and add our new object
    - cumulate 0BI_ALL and our new object
    Does anyone know how this work ?
    We haven't been able to find the right documentation.
    Thank you
    Fabrice Rigaux

    Hi Fabrice,
    To answer your question, you will need to suppress 0BI_ALL and add the new object.
    It works as follows:
    For the same infoobject, the authorisations are considered a union. But for the whole of the authorisation, it's an intersection.
    an example to make more sense of this:
    AUTH1:
    - 0COST_ELEMT = 123456
    - 0TCAIPROV = *  (always need this one)
    - 0TCAACTVT = 03 (always need this one)
    - 0TCAVALID = * (always need this one)
    AUTH2:
    - 0COST_ELEMT = *
    - 0TCAIPROV = CUBE1 
    - 0TCAACTVT = 03
    - 0TCAVALID = *
    You run a query on CUBE1 -> you will have access for all cost elements.
    You run a query on CUBE2 -> you will only have access to cost element 123456.
    Because 0BI_ALL has * for all infoobjects it will always overrule any other authorisations you assign.
    Important note: if you are goning to set up your authorisation for 0COST_ELMNT to be valid for all infocubes, you will also need to add all authorisation-relevant infoobjects in your authorisation definition.
    Best way to get the hang of it is to play around with it. In transaction RSECADMIN, you now have a very useful option "Execute as", which allows you to run queries as a testuser and gives you a log of all authorisations checked.
    Regards,
    Pieter
