Status of Wiki and Forum updates/migration/changes

Hey all,
I've spent about two hours e-mailing and PMing various people interested in helping out with various wiki and forum tasks. This thread is an announcement of the current status, with the intent of getting everyone up to date. Its also an invitation to people working independently on things to get in touch with me ([email protected]), because I've found there's some duplicate labour going on out there. Please if you respond to this thread, keep on topic and be serious. Most of the current set up is about technical details; if you're not interested in these, don't post. Suggestions from interested observers can go in other threads (there's a lot to choose from!), I want actual feedback from people that are involved or willing to be involved with this project.
First, it looks like sometime in the future, we will be migrating the forums to punbb. The details haven't been hashed out yet, but Romashka and cactus have both been working on testing the migration process. Migration seems to be relatively simple, but there are a lot of small details to be worked out. I don't have any specific timeline, but I'm guessing the new forum won't be ready until sometime next year.
Second, we may be migrating to dokuwiki sometime in the future. I'm not sure when, but it probably won't be until after the forum migration or at the same time. Regardless of whether or not we migrate from mediawiki to dokuwiki, we are planning on integrating the wiki and forum authentication mechanism, so your account on one will also work on the other. (In the long run, I'm praying we can get organized enough to also integrate AUR and flyspray, but that's a vision not even open for discussion yet!).
Third, we are currently working on cleaning up the current mediawiki. Romashka is working on a new style and template to make the current installation more aesthetically tolerable. Foxbunny is working on the actual wiki texts, category, and language structure. Tardo has some kind of hack to deal with the multi-language issue; I'm not sure if that will be implemented, as I have no information yet on how difficult it is. Someone (possibly me) will also have to update the mediawiki installation from 1.5.whatever to 1.8.latest.
Chronologically, the cleanup of the current wiki will occur first, in the next few weeks, hopefully. Once we have an idea of how pretty and how organized we can make the existing installation, we will make the final decision on a dokuwiki migration. The integration of punbb and dokuwiki|mediawiki has to happen at about the same time, so the migration will not happen until after the forum migration.
We've have been considering setting up a mailing list or private forum for discussion of these topics, to restrict discussion to those people who are actually interested in helping out. Because I don't really like the elitist nature of such a move, I'm making this forum the place for open discussion on this topic for now.
Thanks,
Dusty

Starting point; besides Wiki and Forum.

Ok so I'm ready to jump head first into linux, ArchLinux will be my first distrubution. I consider myself knowledgeable when it comes to computers, but Linux will be somewhat challenging I admit. My main motivation for learning Linux, is I want to be able to buy a VPN and run my site off it, which means I have to be able to manage every aspect of my VPN from shell (I think that is the term).
So I was wondering if you guys could help me resource wise as to how I would learn Linux. First of all, is Linux also Unix?
If so, does this book look like a good resource? http://www.amazon.com/Sams-Teach-Yourse … 672328143/
I'm looking for a good solid resource on Linux in general. Usually when I learn anything, I grab a strong resource to start with (a book or a video), and then pick up the rest of my knowledge from forums/wiki's/internet/etc. So if you guys could help me with a strong reference, that would be great.
I already know a good chunk of Vim, if that helps (but not nearly enough, but I can pick that up just looking at documentation). I also use Mac OS X so I do use a good chunk of commands found in Linux (cd, ls, that's it)

It's not quite accurate to say linux is the same as unix, but knowledge of one tends to transfer pretty closely to another. If you're comfortable using a terminal running your mac you should have a decent start. I haven't seen that book you posted, but as an alternative O'Reilly books tend to be pretty good. I have Linux in a Nutshell which I flipped through quite a bit when I started out.
Another good resource is the linux documentation project
If a main motivation is to be able to run things remotely over the network I'd say priorities would be to become comfortable with bash (the default shell for most linux distros) and editing files from a cli text editor. Knowing terminal commands for your mac and vim are good starts for that.

No HTML nor Javascript in wiki and forums...

Hello,
Particularly in BSP forums, I am not able to post messages that contain HTML and/or Javascript. I have got a security error I don't have with normal posts...
It seems that the HTML and Javascript code parts are somehow interpreted, which results in an error. For example, one can write:
document.getElementById(<id of button>).click();
which is an invalid Javascript statement, but the same sentence with <id of button> replaced by a real Javascript character string raises an error...
I also tried in the Wiki, but the same error occurs.
Is there any way this can be avoided? Sometimes code samples are clearer than long explanations...
Thanks and regards,
Tanguy

Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb. Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet. Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

Just finished updating web site, saved and published. Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone! Fine on the net gone in iweb! I don't want to loose the days work. Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work? Why didn't it save? Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again? Where did I go wrong?

Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Check to see if the site is all there. If not
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Thank You Arch Wiki And Forums!

In under an hour, I had a working Arch system up and running, along side of my main Kubuntu and windows installations. I consider my linux skills to be very novice, and I did this with no problems and I understood the entire processs. I want to formally thank you all for the guides and information herer that have helped me do this flawlessly. Now comes the fun part of configuring and building my system! One more Kubuntu user on the way out!

Oh well, who cares. Welcome, everyone! (And welcome, Peasantoid )
When a new user posts to say thank you instead of "Arch is run by retarded monkeys", it's nice to have it's own thread.
You're right, of course.

The RHEL docs covers everything from installation to configuring clusters. The only downside is you need to be a paid customer.

Performing check and potential update for status control table

Cheers Experts,
I searched in the forum, but I didn't find an answer.
I'm working on a 3.0B BW system.
After updating from PSA to an ODS, in the log I see the following line:
"Performing check and potential update for status control table" and double clicking on it, it says:
If data is loaded into an InfoCube, or existing data is edited (aggregated/compressed/deleted/got from a DataMart), then there is a change in the potential reportability of the data , or the possibility of deleting data by request, or of aggregating or compressing.
This status of each one of these Cubes is stored in a status table, that is updated when there is any change to the status of a request in the Cube.
The system now analyzes the requests in the Cube and compares the calculated status with the status table.
If deviations from the status table arise then you are given the option of adjusting the status table.
I have 2 questions:
1) What is BW doing, mainly because I'm working on an ODS and not an Infocube?
2) What can I do to reduce its execution time, since it lasts several minutes?
Thanks and greetings.
Roberto

Roberto, did you ever find an answer to your question? We also are experiencing long runtimes during this particular process running 3.x deltas from ODS to ODS and cubes.

Exit CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT triggered exeception for event STATE_CHG and (target) status READY- ERROR EVENT_RAISED - Error updating the process object

Hi All
I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype TO CREATE AND CHANGE POSITION. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)
Executing flow work item - Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
Exception occurred - Error when starting work item 000000007031
PROCESS_NODE - Error when processing node '0000000014' (ParForEach index 000000)
CREATE - Error when creating a component of type 'Step'
CREATE_WIM_HANDLE - Error when creating a work item
CREATE_VIA_WFM - Exit CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT triggered exeception for event CREATED and (target) status

Points to be noted:
1) I have searched few SAP notes such as 1384961(Notes for 6.0.4) but our system is in higher level patch 6.0.5
2) WF-BATCH have SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL authorization.
Appreciate your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
Ragav

Hi Ragav
did you try to debug this? maybe something is missing in config of P&F?
Since you are on 605, the following note would be there in your system....use it to debug:
1422496 - Debugging background workflow tasks in HCM P&F
This will help you find the root cause.

Font size and color will not change in emails, blogs, forums etc.

I can no longer change the style or color of fonts in emails, blogs, forums etc. I can change the font size and nothing else. Everything works when I am connected using explorer so it is a setting or update in firefox that is causing the problem. If I cut/copy and paste into a word document from a web site I still cannot make a change. If I copy from a word document into a web site the colors and fonts revert to some default setting. I have tried changing the setting in Options for the fonts and colors, they make changes but they don't solve the problem.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. If it's okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy the personal data] from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location separate from its [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory files/folder]. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window '''Options'''] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config '''about:config'''] ) and usually would also be empty of any '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' > '''Add-ons''') and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc. ('''Tools''' > '''Clear Recent History''').

Forums Updates: feedback and questions answered

Some of you will have noticed some forum downtime today and no doubt you have noticed the changes!
I would appreciate it if people would consider the current state of the forum as a release candidate, rather than a final release. I am sure there are some things that will need tweaking or fixing and some unforseen problems/issues.
Please report any such problems on the Forum, Wiki and Documentation Discussion board. You can also provide feedback there.
A word of caution - when you click on the RSS link in the top right it will take you to the topics_anywhere page. While viewing this page the navigation area in the top right will show that you are no longer logged in but you are! Please do not panic.
Thanks.
.:edit:.
If people are confused by some of the recent changes then PLEASE feel free to ask questions in this thread. Several of the boards have been moved or removed and we need to make sure everyone still feels that there is a proper place to post everything

I suppose that the one who added the new setting in user profile could answer this question better.
Anyway, I do not have any experience with writting php, but something like:
<select name="postorder">
<option value="asc" <?if(user wantsOldestFirst) echo "selected=true"?>>Oldest First</option>
<option value="desc" <?if(user wantsOldestFirst) echo "selected=true"?>>Newest First</option>
</select>
Please remember that I do not have php skills, so if I wrote something enormously stupid don't blame me, blame the .... keyboard.

COMPONENT NAME: LKM Oracle to Oracle (datapump)
COMPONENT VERSION: 11.1.2.3
AUTHOR: Oracle
COMPATIBILITY: ODI 11.1.2 and above
Description:
- Loading Knowledge Module
- Loads data from an Oracle Server to an Oracle Server using external tables in the datapump format.
- This module is recommended when developing interfaces between two Oracle servers when DBLINK is not an option.
- An External table definition is created on the source and target servers.
- When using this module on a journalized source table, the Journaling table is first updated to flag the records consumed and then cleaned from these records at the end of the interface.

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!
