Standardized OS/ programs versions

It really depends on how many systems you have to manage. If you have any more that 20 or 30, you are better off to make every one exactly the same (cookie cutter approach). This way you manage what goes onto the computers because you lock them down so the users can install unauthorized stuff. If one computer breaks they all break. You fix (patch) one computer you fix them all. 
You set up a consistent patch deployment method for your software updates. The big thing/annoyance is with the MS Apps, there is a huge change between 2003 and 2010 in supported files and features. You need to have a stable environment so documents created at one workstation will function as intended on all workstations. 

Is it common place among your workplace to have different OS's on workstations? Is there a benefit to having windows 7, windows 8, windows xp, and soon possibly windows 10 throughout the office space? How about different versions of programs excel 2003, 2010, 2013 is this an IT nightmare or your everyday life? The differences are minor sure, but how important is it to have consistency in the workplace? Is it cost justified to upgrade to a standard? Is it more important for workstations or servers or totally unimportant?

  • PO standard print program

    Hi experts,
    I have a requirement where we will dsiplay the PO output in different layout(landscape orientation, all items shown in one line only, additional info to be displayed). Now, the functional designer requires us to use the sap standard print program and sapscript for PO because they said it will require less development time. So basically we have to copy the standard program and sapscript to fulfill the requirements. But is it really easier to do the enhancemments required in sapscript than by using smartforms? I am more familiar with smartforms so I don't know if it will be easier to change the layout using a copied standard sapscript and print program.
    Please let me know your thoughts. POints wil be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi eric,
              The entire scenario is depends upon the requirement and the main thing is in which version ur working in to.
    If it is ECC 6.0 I would suggest you to go for smartforms the reason is script has got already migrated and for future modifications also smartforms are easier compare to script as well.
    In future anticipations if you have to make some changes if it's not available in script the entire thing will get messed up.
    More to that considering the system point of view the execution of smartforms in much effective than script .
    My point is if there is not major changes only kocking off certain fields and no no need to add anyting new means u can go for script else better go with the smartforms.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Hr_utility.trace - standard concurrent program

    Hi,
    We have a standard concurrent program that we think is falling over due to data error. Looking at the code that is being run, there seems to be a lot of useful info traced out by hr_utility.trace(). How can I enable this for a concurrent program though? It seems that all the references I can find refer to enabling it when calling from sqlplus etc, rather than when the code is running as part of a concurrent program.
    Thanks

  • How to uncomment code in Standard SAP Programs

    Hi Experts,
    how to uncomment entire code  of standard SAP programs  which is commented .
    Standard SAP Program is fully commented,i have to uncomment it ,to work it as normal.
    i saw that some lines * / * like  this are there in the commented code .
    what is the way to un comment this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Hitu

    Well, if it is commented by your company - This doesnt ask for access key but if it is commented by SAP and you want to uncomment, you need access key.
    You can ask basis guys to get access key for the object. you need to provide the program name and other information.
    Other information: - go to the GOTO on application tool bar and select object direct entry.... you need to provide the full object key.
    To uncomment the code - select the lines and right click - uncomment . This can only be done in editable mode.

    Hello. I would like to activate my CS3 Educational Program (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunatly he is not accepting my serial number. What can I do? I have delated the program on my old computer but it doesn't accept the activation on the new laptop.

    Make sure you are using the  correct serial number.  Find your serial number quickly
    If you did not deactivate the original installation then it is possible your two allowed activations have been used and you need to reset your activation count.  To do that you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you ask for more than that they will tell you they cannot offer you any support.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • How to exclude the standard Include programs in Code Inspector?

    I am running code inspector (SCi) on all the development objects using a package. But in certain repository objects standard include programs have been used. I want to exclude the standard include programs while running SCI on the package. What are the ways to achieve this?

    Hi,
    while defining an object set choose:(in the menu)
    Edit - Exclude View Maintenance Function Groups.
    This should exclude most or at least some of the includes from being checked.

    Hi Suganya,
    The custom form is getting displayed properly. But the requirement is to have it as an editable PDF. So the functional team is working on configuring the settings of PDF forms with customers email address.
    But for right now, i customized the standard form F140_ACC_STAT_01 and standard print program RFKORD10_PDF and did the configuration. It is getting displayed (I tested only with the transaction FBL5N - customer open line items..)
    Please let me know any further details on this.
