Static questions and a watermark

Hi all,
I have iMovie '09 but I can get '11 if needed.
Is it possible to add frames with text midst a movie? I am filming a person answering questions; the questions will appear on screen as text.
Also, am I able to add a watermark to the full movie?
Many thanks
Mike

If you want to have free standing text, you will need to create a JPG background image to act as the background for the Text to sit on. If you want black text create a white rectangle, or if you want white text, create a black background. You would have to do this in an external image editing program like Photoshop or something similar. Then import that into iPhoto or drag it directly into the Project Browser in iMovie.
Watermarks are possible too. I would recommend on doing it after the fact,... after you are complete done with editing the movie and everything is ready to be exported. Once your video is to that point, export the video to your desktop. Then re-import that into iMovie and create a new Project. Drag your video into the new project and then do a Picture-in-picture or Cutaway effect using a transparent PNG picture to act as the watermark.
If you need step-by-step directions for the watermark there are a number of them freely available on YouTube or even in text form on some websites. They all pretty much describe the same process, but don't mentioned waiting until the very end to add the watermark. Trying to do it in the midst of your iMovie editing before everything is finished will upset your transitions and fades in the main timeline of your movie. Exporting then adding the watermark gets around ALL those problems.

A basic question about static variables and methods

What would be the effects if I declare lots of static variables and static methods in my class?
Would my program run faster?
Would the class take more memory spaces? (If so, how do I estimate an appropriate number of variabls and methods to be declared static?)
Thank you @_@

when you declare a static var the var isn't created for every instance of the class, it just "live" in the class
when you declare a static method is the same, so if you have:
class MyClass
static int myMethod()
//Method work
you dont need to have a instance of the class to call myMethod, you can do such things like this.
int value = Myclass.myMethod();
if myMethod isn't static you can't do this.. so, if
class MyClass
int myMethod()
//Method work
you CAN'T call
int value = MyClass.myMethod();
instead, you have to write
MyClass m;
m = new MyClass();
value = m.myMethod();

Static-nat and vpn tunnel bound traffic from same private address?

Hi guys,
I have site-to-site tunnel local host @192.168.0.250 and remote-host @172.16.3.3.
For this local host @192.168.0.250, I also have a static one-to-one private to public.
static (mgmt-192,outside-50) 216.9.50.250 192.168.0.250 netmask 255.255.255.255
As you can see, IPSec SA shows end-points in question and traffic is being decrypted but not encrypted host traffic never enter into the tunnel, why?
How can I resolve this problem, without complicating the setup ?

Explain about high water mark and low watermark

I checked both those links, and neither says anything about a "low water mark". One link has a copyright notice of 2003, the other starts with a question about 8.1.6.
Given the nature of the question I think we should be allowed to guess that the OP is probably thinking about the "low high water mark" and "high high water mark" that applies to segments using ASSM (automatic segment space management).
Under ASSM, Oracle doesn't format blocks for use in absolute order, it will pick batches of blocks (typically 16 - unless that's changed fairly recently) in the most recently allocated extent. This means that you can end up with some UNFORMATTED blocks near the start of the extent with some FORMATTED blocks later in the extent.
The "low high watermark" is the last block below which there are no UNFORMATTED blocks; the "high high watermark" is the block above which there are no FORMATTED blocks. Looking at it another way - between the low and high high watermarks you may find both formatted and unformatted blocks, but this condition doesn't exist anywhere else in the segment.

(JC) static variable and derived object

Hi there!
It is glad to know you from Java Card Forum. Can I ask for your help on the following question?
It is about static variable. The following is my sample code:
========================================
package com.Test01;
import javacard.framework.*;
import javacard.security.*;
import javacardx.crypto.Cipher;
public class Test01 extends Applet {
OwnerPIN Pin;
static DESKey[] keys;
protected Test01(byte[] buffer, short offset, byte length) {
keys = new DESKey[4];
length = 0;
while (length < 4) {
keys[length] = (DESKey)KeyBuilder.buildKey((byte)3, (short)0x80, false);
length = (byte)(length + 1);
public static void install(byte buffer[], short offset, byte length) {
new Test01(buffer, offset, length);
===========================================================
If there are two instances, A and B, created in the package.
My issues:
1. Are keys[0]~ keys [3] kept while B is deleted?
2. Does each instance have itsown object while "keys[length] = (DESKey)KeyBuilder.buildKey((byte)3, (short)0x80, false);"? or they share the same object?
3. follow item 2, if A and B share the same object, is the object kept while B is deleted? Where can I get the information in Sun's spec?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
kantie

Thanks a lot. You mean that keys variable will be removed while instance B deleted, right? I think the idea of database applet is very good, but I can't force applet provider the way of their implementations : )
I still got question, does it get no use to set the keys variable to be "static"? So that I can keep it to other instances, if applied.
And I think that any object derived under the static variable shall be kept, until the package is deleted.
For example, if you declare a static pointer, and it points to an object newed by the instance at the first time. We say every instances (A and B) of this package (PckM) share this same static pointer and this same object, right? There are two situations:
1. if this referred object is removed when B is deleted, so the memory of this object will be released. Then user might create an instace C of another package (PckN), and instance C new its objects just overlapping on the released memory. In this case, it will cause instance A to be crashed, because its static pointer has been referred to illeagle address.
2. if this referred object is kept when B is deleted, then instance C will new its objects in other free memory. In this case, instance A will work well, because its static pointer still refers to correct object.
What do you think? Am I missing any concepts?
Thank you for your great opinions.
Best regards,
kantie

Static and non-static variables and methods

Hi all,
There's an excellent thread that outlines very clearly the differences between static and non-static:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=374018
But I have to admit, that it still hasn't helped me solve my problem. There's obviously something I haven't yet grasped and if anyone could make it clear to me I would be most grateful.
Bascially, I've got a servlet that instatiates a message system (ie starts it running), or, according to the action passed to it from the form, stops the message system, queries its status (ie finds out if its actually running or not) and, from time to time, writes the message system's progress to the browser.
My skeleton code then looks like this:
public class IMS extends HttpServlet
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
        doPost(request, response);
   public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
      //get the various parameters...
         if (user.equalsIgnoreCase(username) && pass.equalsIgnoreCase(password))
            if(action.equalsIgnoreCase("start"))
                try
                    IMSRequest imsRequest = new IMSRequest();
                    imsRequest.startIMS(response);
                catch(IOException ex)
                catch(ClassNotFoundException ex)
            else if(action.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))
                try
                    StopIMS stopIMS = new StopIMS();
                    stopIMS.stop(response);
                catch(IOException ex)
             else if(action.equalsIgnoreCase("status"))
                try
                    ViewStatus status = new ViewStatus();
                    status.view(response);
                catch(IOException ex)
         else
            response.sendRedirect ("/IMS/wrongPassword.html");
public class IMSRequest
//a whole load of other variables
public PrintWriter    out;
    public int                 messageNumber;
    public int                 n;
    public boolean         status = false; //surely this is a static variable?
    public String            messageData = ""; // and perhaps this too?
    public IMSRequest()
    public void startIMS(HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
        try
            response.setContentType("text/html");
            out = response.getWriter();
            for(n = 1 ; ; n++ )
                getMessageInstance();
                File file = new File("/Users/damian/Desktop/Test/stop_IMS");
                if (n == 1 && file.exists())
                    file.delete();
                else if (file.exists())
                    throw new ServletException();
                try
                    databaseConnect();
               catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
//here I start to get compile problems, saying I can't access non-static methods from inside a static method
               out.println(FrontPage.displayHeader());
                out.println("</BODY>\n</HTML>");
                out.close();
                Thread.sleep(1000);
        catch (Exception e)
    }OK, so, specifially, my problem is this:
Do I assume that when I instantiate the object imsRequest thus;
IMSRequest imsRequest = new IMSRequest();
imsRequest.startIMS(response); I am no longer in a static method? That's what I thought. But the problem is that, in the class, IMSRequest I start to get compile problems saying that I can't access non-static variables from a static method, and so on and so on.
I know I can cheat by changing these to static variables, but there are some specific variables that just shouldn't be static. It seems that something has escaped me. Can anyone point out what it is?
Many thanks for your time and I will gladly post more code/explain my problem in more detail, if it helps you to explain it to me.
Damian

Can I just ask you one more question though?Okay, but I warn you: it's 1:00 a.m., I've been doing almost nothing but Java for about 18 hours, and I don't do servlets, so don't take any of this as gospel.
If, however, from another class (FrontPage for
example), I call ((new.IMSRequest().writeHTML) or
something like that, then I'm creating a new instance
of IMSRequest (right?)That's what new does, yes.
and therefore I am never going
to see the information I need from my original
IMSRequest instance. Am I right on this?I don't know. That's up to you. What do you do with the existing IMS request when you create the new FrontPage? Is there another reference to it somewhere? I don't know enough about your design or the goal of your software to really answer.
On the other hand, IMSRequest is designed to run
continuously (prehaps for hours), so I don't really
want to just print out a continuous stream of stuff to
the browser. How can I though, every so often, call
the status of this instance of this servlet?One possibility is to pass the existing IMSRequest to the FrontPage and have it use that one, rather than creating its own. Or is that not what you're asking? Again, I don't have enough details (or maybe just not enough functioning brain cells) to see how it all fits together.
One thing that puzzles me here: It seems to me that FP uses IMSReq, but IMSReq also uses FP. Is that the case? Those two way dependencies can make things ugly in a hurry, and are often a sign of bad design. It may be perfectly valid for what you're doing, but you may want to look at it closely and see if there's a better way.

Simple Import Static Question

Hi,
Just wondering is it possible in regards to "import static" to statically import a static class or does it only allow one to import static functions and variables within a class?
Cheers.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I actually do understand that using "static import" will import static methods and variables. My Question is
can one import static classes themselves because I have read conflicting reports:
(1) Report 1: can statically import classes, methods and variables.
(2) Report 2: can statically import methods and variables.
e.g.
package com.edu;
public class staticImport
static class staticImportExample
static int i = 12;
}Can I statically import the above class as for example "com.edu.staticImport.*"? Will this import the static class "staticImportExample". I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out whether static classes can be imported.
Thanks.

Little help with EL: concat static string and databound number

Hi OTN,
I'm a bit stuck with a simple - as I thought - case: concatenating static string and databound number in EL:
I have a deffered expression like:
#{1 != 2 ? ('Number is ' bindings.SomeNumber.inputValue) : 'no number'}
1 and 2 are databound values too but the question is about showing "Number is 5" where 5 is a SomeNumber.
Expression editor shows error on 'Number is'. And the error dissapperars if I remove "bindings.SomeNumber.inputValue".
How can I concatenate them?
Thanks.

Another option for you is to write that formatting logic in a static utility classes that takes parameters to return strings.
Ex.:
*/WEB-INF/utils.tld:*
<taglib xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd" version="2.1" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
<description>utils</description>
<display-name>utils</display-name>
<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
<short-name>utils</short-name>
<uri>http://biz.com/utils</uri>
<function>
     <name>getFormattedNumber</name>
     <function-class>com.mybiz.FormatUtils</function-class>
     <function-signature>java.lang.String getFormattedNumber(oracle.jbo.domain.Number)</function-signature>
</function>
</taglib>And then you use them in your EL expression like this:
page.jspx:_
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
          xmlns:utils="http://biz.com/utils">
<af:outputText value="#{utils:getFormattedNumber(bindings.Number.inputValue)}"/>
</jsp:root>Better to have many options isn't it?

Difference between static class and singleton?

Hi I wonder what could be the difference between static methods and singleton?
In singleton at any point of time there will be only one object existing in the JVM. We create singleton to avoid multiple object creation for that class.
If I make all the methods in the class as static also it does the same job. The memory will be allocated once. Even there wont be any object in this case, so time required for object creation also can be saved. looks like more efficient but still why need singleton?
This question is also posted in java programming forum. The thread is as follows:-

1. What is EDI invoices, how it reflects in SAP R3 system
Ans: Quite generally, you create an invoice by a normal way, but after this you generate an output (print document) in the form of an IDOC. This IDOC can be sent to the customer. The process is similar to the standard print output of the invoice. The Idoc should be of a message type INVOIC. The function module is IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC.
There is also a self-billing process with the invoice creation. In this case the customer sends the IDOC for himself. This IDOC must be processed via EDI on Sd side, then the SD invoice will be created. To learn this process, please call the function module IDOC_INPUT_SBINV in the transaction SE37 and the press the button "Function Module Documentation". The SBINV process can be realized via EDI only.

3. What is the usage of configuration nprofile in variant configuration
Ans: configuaration profile is a place where we will configure configurable material (mmk1) with class type 300 and class which u have defined. Here the values of variant characteristics will be stored
or
a). We use the configuration profile to assign the configurable material to one or more variant classes. This links the material to the characteristics of the class for configuration.
b).You can define settings that affect the display options and scope of characteristics on the
value assignment screen. (i.e. CU50)
c). You can use the configuration profile to assign dependencies to a configurable object.
d). For maintaining configuration parameters for BOM explosion.
You maintain the configuration parameters for a configurable general maintenance task list in the configuration profile.
The settings that you make here also concern the BOM explosion for the piece of material. In addition, at least one class, whose class type allows variant configuration, must be assigned to each configuration profile. The class contains the characteristics that the system proposes for characteristic evaluation when you create a maintenance or service order.
4. What do you mean by tickets? Could you please give me some examples of tickets?
Ans: Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after the implementation of the project.
There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
End user is not able to
1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant, since shipping point determination is not happened. (Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below
1.Low 2. Medium 3. High.
Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
Finally u request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION.
Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed.
What I have given is a small ex. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support
1. kofo error?
2. Defecit in sales order stock?
3. Pgi is not possible?
4. Ship conformation is not possible?
5. Picking or packing pgi is not possible?

5. What is the difference between sales process and business process?
Ans. Sales Process: is also a business process where in only sales related activities are involved. I.e. for e.g.: sales order, purchase order, etc.,
Business Process: any activity or business event where in business is involved we can those processes as Business Process
BUSINESS PROCESS: Sequentially and logically related series of processes and functions for an internal or external target group to deliver a defined good or service. The R/3 Reference Model provides sample business processes in scenarios as EPCs.
6. What is the difference between transit time and transportation time
Ans:
Transit time: time taken by the material to reach customers place. for eg: this is the time period right after the goods have left the shipping point of the business to the customer till the goods are received by the customer at his place..
Transportation time: time taken to schedule the materials by shipping company. For eg: this is the time period right from the material manufacturing to the delivery of the material to the customer.
Transit time: is the time taken by the material to reach customers place.
Transportation time: is the time taken to schedule the materials by shipping company.
7. What is the difference between free goods and bonus buy?
Ans. Free goods are either inclusive or exclusive if a customer orders for 10 products he will get 1 free for that no price is charged this is exclusive scenario
If a customer orders 10 products he will get 9+1 for 1 product he will not charged this inclusive scenario
For bonus buy if a customer orders regularly 10 products in one occasion if he orders 1000 products he will be given less price than the price he will get for 10 products this bonus buy scenario
Or
Free goods are considered to be merchandise, moveable belongings or personal property. Free goods are those which economists are not interested in because in free goods doe not offer the opportunity for creating a cost for usage. The best example of free goods is air because there is no scarcity of air. Economists are interested only in goods, which can be manipulated to create cost for usage. Free goods are plentiful; you have as much as you want without a chance for future cost to society.
A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.
Examples of Bonus buys are: buy one and get one free, 20% original price, 15% Reduced Mortgage today.
Free Goods: Free goods :

Bonus Buy: [VBK1] T.Code
example TV---10000
DVD 5000
total 15000
if u go for bonus buy u will get both for 12000
8. What is the difference between static and dynamic in credit management
Ans: Static Credit Limit Check
The customer's credit exposure may not exceed the established credit limit. The credit exposure is the total combined value of the following documents:
- Open orders
- Open deliveries
- Open billing documents
- Open items (accounts receivable)
The open order value is the value of the order items which have not yet been delivered. The open delivery value is the value of the delivery items which have not yet been invoiced. The open invoice value is the value of the billing document items which have not yet been forwarded to accounting. The open items represent documents that have been forwarded to accounting but not yet settled by the customer.
Dynamic Credit Limit Check with Credit Horizon
The customer's credit exposure is split into a static part; open items, open billing, and delivery values (see above), and a dynamic part, the open order value. The open order value includes all undelivered or only partially delivered orders. The value is calculated on the shipping date and stored in an information structure according to a time period that you specify (days, weeks, or months). When you define the credit check, you can then specify a particular horizon date in the future (for example: 10 days or 2 months, depending on the periods you specify). For the purposes of evaluating credit, you want the system to ignore all open orders that are due for delivery after the horizon date. The sum of the static and dynamic parts of the check may not exceed the credit limit.
Main difference is horizon period is related for dynamic check not for static check
SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK: Tr.Code - FD32
It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
Doc.Value: Sales Order has been saved but not delivered
Open Item: Sales Order has been saved, Delivered, Billed & Transferred to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
Eg: Customer Credit Limit is Rs.1,00,000/-
Suppose Doc.Value + Open Item Value is Rs.1,10,000/-
Here credit limit exceeds then system reacts.
Options: A) Warning Message
B) Error Message (Sales Order won't be saved)
C) Error Message with Delivery Block
AUTOMATIC CREDIT CHECK: Give extra credit facilities to the particular customer.
STATIC CREDIT LIMIT DETERMINATION: Checking Group + Risk Catageory + Credit Control Area.
A) Credit Checking Groups: Types of Checking Groups.
01) Sales
02) Deliveries
03) Goods Issue
At all the above 3 levels orders can be blocked.
B) Risk Catageory: Based on the risk Categories Company decide how much credit has to give to the customer.
HIGH RISK (0001) : LOW CREDIT
LOW RISK (0002) : MORE CREDIT
MEDIUM RISK(0003) : Average Credit
Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delivered
2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
4) Open Item : Which is transferred to FI but not received from the customer.
DYNAMIC CREDIT CHECK : 1) Open Doc
2) Open Delivery
3) Open Billing
4) Open Items
5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
Here the System will not consider the above 1,2,3& 4 values for the lost 3 months
Then assign the Sales Doc & Del Documents.
Sales Doc.Type(OR) + credit Check (0) + Credit Group (01)
Credit Limit Check for Delivery Type : Del.Type (LF) + Del Credit
Group (02) + Goods Issue Credit Group (03)
9. Difference between 4.6 version and 4.6c ,4.7ee
Ans. There are so many differences between the versions in different objects
1. In the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code and also there is no CIN tab in that version but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
But we can do the same in the 6.0 versions
These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

10. Where is rebate define for quantity REBATE
Ans: Following explains how to create a rebate agreement, test it using a sales order and billing it. Then settling it partially or fully using a rebate credit memo. Please use the basic procedure and tweak your IMG settings according to your unique requirements.
Rebate processing:
1. First requirement is that the rebate processing must be active for
a. the customer ( check in customer master) ,
b. for the billing type ( check in IMG > Billing > rebate processing > active rebate processing > select billing documents for rebate processing. )
c. For the sales organization:
( check in IMG > Billing> rebate processing > active rebate processing > Active rebate processing for sales org. )
2. Next create a rebate agreement for this us T-code VB01. For the rebate agreement type you can choose either 0001
(group rebate) or 0002 material rebate or 0003 (customer rebate) etc
b. Enter your rebate conditions. Dont forget to enter the accrual rate here.
3. Now test your rebate functionality: create a sales order for the particular customer, sales org (ensure that the billing type used in your sales order is relevant for rebate). Create outbound delivery, transfer order to do picking and post goods issue.
4. Now go to T.Code VB03 and check your rebate by choosing conditions, selecting the condition line and choosing payment data. You will see that the accruals and business volume are updated when accounting doc is created for billing.
5. Settling your rebates:
Once your rebates have been accrued you need to settle the rebate.
For this first release the rebate for settlement by using T.Code VB02. As a trial basis choose B (you can choose other settings based on your requirement) and choose Create manual accrual. Now enter the amount to be paid and save the rebate agreement.
6. Next display your rebate agreement using T.Code VB03.
Enter your rebate agreement number. Next choose rebate payments > Rebate documents and select partial settlement. Click on the choose button to note down your credit request number.
7. Use T.Code VA02 and release the billing block for your credit request. (Use item overview tab)
8. Now use VF01 to create a rebate credit memo by entering the credit memo request number and save it
9. Now release the credit memo to accounting using vf02.
Quantity Rebate:
In rebate agreement details we will define the rebate basis whether it is the quantity rebate or volume based rebate.
Rebate Agreements
A rebate is a special discount which is paid retroactively to a customer. This discount is based on the customer's sales volume over a specified time period.
You can process rebate agreements when the following prerequisite conditions are met:
sales org is relevant for rebate processing
payer (customer master record) is relevant for rebate processing
billing type (invoice, credit memo) is relevant for rebate processing
Condition types for rebate agreements:
BO01 Customer/Material or Customer/Rebate group = % rebate
BO02 Customer/Material = quantity dependent
BO03 Customer = % rebate
BO04 - Customer hierarchy = % rebate
BO05 Customer hierarchy/Material = % rebate
BO06 Sales vol independent
Creating Rebate Agreements
Logistics Sales and distribution Master data
Agreements Rebate agreement Create
To create a condition record for a rebate agreement:
When youcreating or changing rebate agreements, Conditions to get to the can create condition records by choosing Goto Agreement Overview screen.
Enter the data necessary to create a condition record (for example: customer and condition rate).
Choose ENTER.
If you do not enter a value for the accrual rate, the system automatically proposes the value you entered as the condition rate.
To create a pricing scale for a condition record, select the condition record and choose Scales.
To display or change details in a condition record, select the condition record and choose Details.
It is possible to see an overview of condition records that already exist in other rebate agreements and that have the same key combination (customer/material, customer/rebate group, and so on).
To view the list, select Validity periods.
You is to becan set for each rebate agreement whether it Rebate calendar renewed automatically or not. Select Extras Reactivate or Remove in the Change Rebate mode.
Rebate Process with Ref. to SO
Rebate agreemnts is based on agreement types.Conditon records which are created like B001 and B002 are linked to the rebate agreeements specifying the rebate rate + the accrual rates.condition records specify the rebate rate and the accrual rates.
Consider an example..
You decided to give a rebate of 3% to a customer whose sales vol is $1000 for a particular SO
Then the rebate value is $30..
Now when you make the rebate settlement by doiing the Credit memo and you decide to pay $27, then the accounting will be generated saying 27$ paid towards rebate and 3$ is the accrual which you owe to the customer
Procedure:
Rebate agreement: Transaction code: VB01
When you go to VB01, choose agreement type 0002 and then in conditions give
Material rebate
1 20
20 30
Now create a sales order with a material say M-11 for SOrg 1000 12 00 with QTY 6
Now check VB03 and see rebate agreemtent it will say Accruals 120 and payments 0
since your rebate is not settled still.
Rebate setllement
Go to VB02 enter ur sales deal no, and change the agreemetn status to B then enter Shift+F12 and enter the amount to be paid for example u say $80
Then check in rebate payments rebate doc and partial setllemetn since you have not paid in full.
View the credit memo request
Remove the Billing bloock Go to VA01 and put order type G2 ,,,go to create with ref and enter ur Sales order no,,,save the doc now...
Then go to VF01 and enter the credit memo reqst no generated...save the doc no and go to VF02 and say release to accounting
Now the final settlement will be this way
Accruals:120
Accrual reversed:80
Rebate pay:80
Amount payable:40
So the balance 40 is still the accrual
This is an example how a rebate will be processed with ref to a SO with an example.

13. What is gap analysis and when it will be use in the time of project.
Ans: Business blue print stage is called as is process. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis. In this stage, we should analysis the gap between as is and is as process
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications (ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
Cut Over Plans
Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
Train Users
Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.

The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.
Examples:
1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.
2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
2 gaps are, In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy customer number which can be solved with User exit.,
In sales order we need customer Phone number, We can use user exit
These 2 are gaps, which we cant, find in Standard SAP
1. If client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station..
2. Order will be uploaded directly with out va01. Through BDC... bcoz lot of orders if they get daily, they can opt these...
Movement type 1 uses when a material have two movement types. Like example 101 and 261. One is incoming raw material and going for production...

14. How to get cash sale invoice with rd03 and tell me the process cashsale delivery and invoice please?
15. What is the difference between rebate and discount?
Ans: Rebate is nothing but this is also a type of discount given by the business but unlike Discount this is not given immediately to the customer, say rebates are given after a certain amount of purchase is reached by the customer, or during a particular period of time, whereas in Discount the customer is benefited by a reduce of bill amount immediately when a purchase is done by the customer.
Rebate is a partial repayment, whereas a refund is a repayment of the total purchase price and Discount is reduction in Price
Or
Rebate: an incentive to be given to a customer. Clubbed with qty purchased by a customer within the period specified (say one month)-conditional.
Discount: unconditional, to be given to a customer on account of heavy purchase by one single billing. From the price List (Base price).

Static variable and non-static

I have a quick question. The following syntax compiles.
private String t = key;
private static String key = "key";
But this doesn't compile.
private String t = key;
private String key = "key";
Can anybody explain how it is treated in java compiler?
Thanks.

I have just a wee bit of a prejudice against the "what do I type to make the error messages go away" approach. :-)That sounds good to me. We're currently trying to fix an issue caused by the fact that one class has most of its variables as static, when they should really be instance variables. There should only be one active instance of this class at a time, but the values of the static variables stick around when you call "new ThisClass()". So, old data interferes with new data, and various errors happen. The class has many static methods to access the static variables, but it should have been more of a Singleton--an actual object with non-static variables. The active instance of the Singleton would need to be replaced at logout/login (as opposed to shutdown completely and restart the JVM), but then at least when the new instance were created, then all of the variables would be initialized to empty--the old instance would disappear. The solution at the moment (solution by others--I don't agree) is to clear each static Vector and then set the reference to null (setting to null would be enough to drop the old data, but certain people don't get that...). This is fragile because many variables were missed in this "cleanup" process, and it will be easy to forget to "cleanup" new variables in the future. This class has been misdesigned for years (much longer than I've been here). The calls to static methods permeate the application, so it isn't easy to fix it quickly. There are several of these misdesigned classes in our application--a mix of static and non-static, when nothing or almost nothing should be static.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Help!! Static sound and Lock ups

I recently updated to the newest Ipod Mini version software 1.4. and when i play the songs on my ipod i get static sounding sounds and when i look at the display timer, it looks like the ipod i slowing down.
Also i'm getting lockups when i'm browsing.
Ipod service told me to restore the ipod, and i have 3 times, 1 to the factory software version, and twice to the newer version. It didn't help, as i'm still hearing static sounds, and I've switched headphones and headphone jacks, and it still doesn't help.

the exact same thing happened to me. Mine is an original mini which needless to say is out of warranty, so I need an answer that is not "replace the hardware". Is there a way to restore it to a previous version of the software?

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions and I don't believe I ever answered any security questions when I created my Apple ID for Itunes. Someone kindly sent me Apple support link but to no avail! Please Help me!

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanks

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
