Some silly questions

Hi BWers,
Please help me with the following questions
1. How do i know the number of users who check the reports in BW
2. How do i know which infoproviders are providing data to their reports?
3. How will a user ( be it super users or just a normal user) navigate to his reports??
4. What are lighthouse tasks??
5. How do i know a user has raised a ticket and what are the steps i shld take to log the issue once it has been resloved??
Thank u
Dave

Hello Dave,
1. it depends on the no. of user licenses with the company for BW reporting users. You can always find out the no of logins created based on these.
2. in the metadata repositary, for any query name the respective infoprovider can be known. Also,you can see the data flow option for infoproviders in metadata repositary if you want to know the report names for a particular infoprovider.
3. The user can login to BW using his login. He can in the rrmx see the reports/workbooks, or can directly click on the link in the menu in the favourites folder etc.
Based on his authorisations he can navigate thro' the reports.
5. This is specific to the client and what kind of tool is used for the support. Normally when a consultant logs in such a tool, he can see all the tickets that are logged. Based on their status(solved, pending, ongoing), he needs to attack one by one. Normally the consultant is assigned to each ticket. he can concentrate on tickets for which he is responsible. prioritisation of issues can be based on criticality of the issue and also the issue logged timings.
Hope this helps..
thanks,

Silly Questions - Upload Speed & Hardware

Hi tere network people,
Networking ignorant here in need of your help.
I'm using a PowerMac G4 as a server and I have a PHP website going to share some pics with friends.
Some lamented it can be slow to download the pictures on their side (Most, if not all, have Broadband). The picture files are not huge, but my connection is only a residential Broadband one.
The ISP states that: "The upload speed is 256 Kilobits/Sec. Average upload rates are circa 20 Kilobytes/Sec."
Coming to my silly questions:
1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
2) Since I got a new PM G4 with a 7200 rpm HD and a Gigabit Ethernet port and a slightly faster processor, should I look at the modem/router specs? Can they affect/limit upload speed?
If anyone can give me some basic tips, I'd be grateful.
Cheers!
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)

1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
That's easy to calculate.
Assume that your 10 users are on broadband connections with a 1mbps download speed. In order to fulfill everyone's demands at top speed you need a 1mpbs x 10, or 10mpbs upload speed.
Of course, it's unlikely that everyone will download files at the same time, and it's also unlikely that they'll sustain 100% of their rated download speed, so you can probably halve that figure without any noticeable degradation, but even 5mpbs is way higher than your current 256kbps upload link.
It's also clear that your internet connection is your bottleneck. Upgrading the server isn't going to make any difference.

Silly Question- PREVIEW - Leopard Rotating Pics

Silly question, but a little "bothersome" on this end.
Just upgraded to 10.5.4. In my previous OSX PREVIEW of pictures, if the pictures were rotated (from the camera), they showed up that way in PREVIEW and I had to manually rotate them. Now, Preview seems to show them in the proper position, but then when I send to family, they may be rotated in the wrong position. Some of my contacts aren't very computer savvy and don't understand how to rotate them on their own.
Isn't there somewhere in PREVIEW that I can turn off the automatic rotate so I can rotate them on my own.
I hope this is clear---it's a silly question, but solving it will make my life a little simpler!
Thanks!
job

The rotated picture business is bit confusing, so bear with me a minute.
When you shoot in portrait view your camera records everything the same as it does in landscape view, but adds a little digital note saying, in effect, "this picture is supposed to display in portrait." Some things can read the note, and some things can't. Both Finder and Preview can read the note and display the picture appropriately, Safari can't. If you want to see how those on other machines might see the picture, just drag it into an open Safari window.
Now--what to do. Because of the complaints of graphic pros the Mac OS no longer automatically applies the rotation to the actual pixels....you have to do it yourself. I usually do so in Photoshop, but if you use iPhoto you can EXPORT the photo, and then the rotation will be saved and the pixels altered.
If you want to use Preview try this:
1. Open the photo and resave immediately, in the "Save as..." dialog box you'll see a line with a check box under the format information, that says "Use Exif Orientation Tag"--uncheck the box and save.
2. Reopen the photo--this time it will display the actual state of the pixels, so it will be sideways
3. Rotate so it is in portrait view
4. Save again
If you drop the photo in Safari it should now appear "correctly" and will display anywhere and everywhere in the correct orientation.

Silly question. should I turn my mouse keyboard off?

... or should I leave it on all the time like I've been doing. after reading misery posts about repairing, etc, I'm hesitant to turn it off because I might encounter some problem.

Hello Jerry:
There are few silly questions - answers, yes!
I leave both my wireless keyboard and mouse on all the time. If they are Apple, they go into a very low power mode a short time after they are idle.
I have seen nothing that indicates that battery life is significantly extended by turning them off.

VirtualBox VM - silly question!

Hi gang - apologies if this is not the correct thread.
Just got my first iMac and we need to use one bit of Windows software, so I installed VirtualBox VM and installed a Windows XP Home build.
Now this might seem a silly question, but does the virtual environment need anti-virus software?
I should know the answer to this - after all I managed to set it up correctly using an ISO disk image of XP Home and added Microsoft Money 95 (yes, 95!) using a combination of ISO images, shared folders with Mac etc - so why don't I know the answer to this simple question!?
Surely my thinking is correct - that a virus couldn't possibly affect a virtual environment, or for that matter, the Mac Host!?
Cheers

With VM, it depends on what you do in it. If you are surfing the web and responding to email in the VM Windows, then you might need Anti-Virus software installed.
However, if you are just using it to get work done on a Windows-only program, the likelihood of you getting any malware is pretty slim. If you are transferring files between it and other windows users, then you have a higher chance of getting some form of malware onto your VM.
Being that your sole purpose is managing your financial information, I would definitely not risk it and install AV on the XP VM.

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
I've learned by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
So the two questions are...
Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
Other Info:
I have a quad core i7 Processor.
My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
Dylan

The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included). You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC. They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.

HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Some basic questions on File Adapter

Hello all,
I have some basic questions on XI and File Adapter and hope you can help me. Any answer is appreciated.
1. Can I use NFS transport protocol to poll a file from a machine in the network, which is not the XI? Or do I have to use FTP instead?
2. If I understand it correctly - when using the FTP-File Adapter, XI has the role of a ftp client. I have to run a ftp server on my distant machine. XI connects to FTP-Server and polls the file.
Can it also be configured the other way round? The scenario I think of would be: FTP client installed on distant machine, which connects to FTP-Server(XI) and loads up a file. So XI would act as FTP Server.
I know this works, if I install a ftp Server on the computer my XI runs on, and use the NFS-File Adapter to observe the folder. But I want to know, if I need a second, independant ftp server for this.
3. And last but not least: When do I need the active ftp mode instead of passive?
Thanx a lot for your answers!
Ilona

XI cannot act as FTP server, but it is always a client. When XI is reading (File sender adpater) when XIis writing than it is File Receiver adapter

It depends on your firewall configuration. The best and the fastests is active mode but not always available.

Some generic questions on BPM of NW CE

Hi Gurus
i have over 6 years of ABAP business workflow experience and over 3 years of XI experience. Now i'm getting tough with this new stuff, BPM of NW CE. Here i have some generic questions of it:
1. How can i trigger a BPM task while a document, like a sales order , has been created in the system? is there any processes to catch the event of R3 in NWDI?
2. Can BPM consume RFC/BAPIs in R3?
3. Is it possible to make message mapping in BPM? i found there is a 'mapping' choice in the context setting of NWDI whereas it is quite simple compared with PI.
4. Can the BPM be integrated with webdynpro ABAP? or send the relevant tasks into R3 directly? Actually what i mean is , can i bypass java programing while dealing with BPM of CE, if possible.
thanks

Hi Stephen,
In the first released version of SAP NetWeaver BPM it is not possible to catch events of R/3 directly. Anyway. In case you have the possibility to trigger a web service in that situation you could start off a specific (BPM) process instance that handles the situation.
The same is basically true for the question regarding RFC: In the initial version you'd need to wrap the RFC into a web service in order to consume it.
The mapping possibilities in SAP NetWeaver BPM are meant to perform data flow between different activities in a BPMN based process model. This way you could transform a message that came into the process in that way that if fits your needs in regards to the BPM process (data) context.
Bypassing Java when using SAP NetWeaver BPM would be difficult as the supported UI technology is Web Dynpro for Java. In addition the possibility to add more flexibility to your mappings by defining custom functions is based on EJB, thus again Java.
Best regards,
Martin

2 silly questions what is boot camp and do I need it? & How to transfer PC

Okay, I've just ordered my first mac it's a 17" 1.83 refurb iMac, I've noticed a lot of stuff about boot camp, what is it? Does it allow me to transfer my old pc files to my Imac? The only files I will be transfering are pictures and music files can anyone tell me how easy or hard this will be, Thanks again

There are no silly questions.
Boot Camp (which is still a beta until Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' comes out) allows you to boot your Intel-based Mac in either Windows XP or Mac OS X. It will make an extra partition on your internal hard drive on which you can install WinXP SP2.
To transfer you PC files onto your Mac you will not need Boot Camp. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to burn you files on a CD-R or DVD-R and insert the disc into your Mac.
For your music files: start iTunes and import all music files from your CD/DVD (File menu > Import).
For your pics: start iPhoto and import all your pictures from the CD/DVD (File menu > Import in Library). iPhoto is really the best way to keep track of all your current and future pics and share them with anyone.
Good luck and welcome to the Mac world!

Some interview Question?

hello all, as this forum has many brilliant minds, i have some interview question, if you mind please let me know the answer....
q1. default level at which validation accurs?
q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?
q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?
q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?
q5. what is the use of forms module validation unit. if it is set to form then data block pre-text-item trigger at point will raise?
i tried but did not find any relevant answer.

Hi yash...
q1. default level at which validation accurs?Well, the default level is where ur trigger exist ( Form Level ,Block Level or Item Level )
q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?Conceal ; it means hiding displaying data and it is almost used in password text item.
q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?Well, actually i don't have any forms now but u could try it urself item property > query criteria (any related query allowed property ) >NO
q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?A Key-Others trigger fires when an operator presses the associated key.
A Key-Others trigger is associated with all keys that can have key triggers associated with them but are not currently defined by function key triggers (at any level).
A Key-Others trigger overrides the default behavior of a Runform function key (unless one of the restrictions apply). When this occurs, however, Oracle Forms still displays the function key's default entry in the Keys screen.
Hope this helps...
Good Luck :)
Regards,
Amatu Allah.
