Strange user-specific display problem

I use my MacBook with an external AG Neovo F-419 19"screen. I have one screen at work and another at home. It works beautifully except for one strange phenomenon: when I log into my account and watch the screen during start up, whereas it starts out having nice even-contrast graphics with a good color range, as the boot progresses it goes through two changes. At the first change the color balance changes, probably reflecting a calibration that I have done in the past kicking in from the Display Preferences info. But then it goes through a second change in which the contrast becomes extreme and the color range perhaps reduced and this then stays and I cannot reverse it by changing the settings in Display Prefs (I can alter the contrast, brightness, color balance etc. but I can't restore the normal color and contrast whatever I do). Bizarrely, however, I can restore things to normal just by rotating the screen and then Reverting to normal orientation.
This is user specific as it doesn't happen if I login as another users and it reappaears when I log back in (andagain gets undone by rotating the screen). It seems not to be a function of a particular Display Profile as I have tried changing them and deleting, ditto for the Prefs file in my User Library. Moreover, the external display does not need to be connected - it happens when I use the Macbook on it's own, which is very annoying because then I cannot rotate the screen to get rid of it!
If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful as I do not want to transfer thousands of files into a new User account (I should say that I thnk this problem first arose in Tiger when I had another machine and it has migrated along with the User settings!!). Help!!

Hi,
I think you can only display a maximum message of 128 characters. There is also another function module SCCA_TH_POPUP which also has a message size of max 128 characters.

User Specific Display Variants

Hi
Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I'm a bit busy now and I cannot give you a complete solution, but sure can give you some c(l)ue. Just see if you have some success. If you do not, then i wuill get back to you later.
Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
==========================================================
LTDX --> Generic storage of display variants
LTDXD --> Default display variants
LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants

User specific popup problem

Hello experts ,
I have used the Function module 'TH-popup' to give an user specific popup . But I can show a message less than 128 char by this Function module. Is there any other way by which I can print user specific popup longer than 128 char ?

User specific DVD problem

Okay, I have a macbook running 10.5.8 with a Matshita DVD drive. There are 2 accounts on this macbook. The primary user of this macbook told me that the DVD drive is not working. Any CD she puts in the drive tells her that it's an invalid disc and ejects it. So I take the laptop log on with the other account and the CD spins up and launches iTunes. I'm still learning the guts of OSX but is there a preferences file in the users profile that I can remove to get this working again? I looked in the user's library/preferences for a plist file relating to the dvd drive but there was none. should I be looking at the iTunes plist files instead?
I also have another issue with the time and what it's displaying, but I didn't know if that should be a separate post or not?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If the issue is limited to that user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your DVD functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting. Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If not drag /Users/yourname/Library/ Preferences folder to desktop and restart.
Let us know.
EDIT: Wherever I have "yourname" just read it as the name of the problem account,

Really strange Compaq CQ60 display problem?

I just got motivated to repair a laptop I've had sitting around for a while but I'm having trouble finding the exact issue after disassembling it...
The screen started to turn black ONLY when it is opened about halfway. It displays just fine when it's open to 35-45 degrees, then it goes black if I try to open it further/all the way.
This has to mean there's something loose inside, right? The display ribbon is snug/secure and clean. What else could I check?
I'm extremely inexperienced with this but thought I'd maybe get lucky with a loose connector/ribbon.
Does anyone know what I'm dealing with here?

Possibly a broken wire in the display ribbon/cable.

User data causing display problems?

I had a user on an iBook whose display was completely washed out. The image was so white and there was so little detail that it was mostly unreadable.
So, I did a fresh load of 10.4 onto an older Powerbook G4 that had no issues, and I used the Setup Assistant to transfer over his all of his User Data, settings, and applications.
As soon as the Powerbook rebooted, it had inherited the display problem!
A fresh install on the iBook shows that the display is now fine. Somehow, this problem is travelling with the user's data, settings, and applications.
I've played with the display and color settings, but they have no effect on the problem.
The only unusual application that he was running was some "Ding!" app from Southwest Airlines.
Any idea where to look to hunt down this problem?

Check the contrast setting in the Universal Access pane of System Preferences; this setting can cause what you describe.

How can I have user specific filters for information display on portlet?

Hello Everyone !!!!!
I am new to the Portlet World
My query is..
How can I have filters on a portlet screen ?
I want to display certain information on a portlet which must be filtered and ordered.
Example:
In Internet Banking , I want to display transfers which had happened in the last month. So I ( as a user ) will keep this predefined somewhere may be in portletData.
Whenever that user logs in for the next time, he will be able to view account transfers taken place in the lastest month only.
This must be user specific. As another user can keep the setting in a different way. That is he/she might want to view account transfers for the last week only.
When user clicks on a button a new screen( filter screen ) is loaded where he need to enter the dates of From and To .....
The user saves this.....( may be in portletdata)
So that when he logs in .. next time screen loads with the defined settings in filter....
Any idea ? How can this be achieived ?
Thanks in advance.... :-)

Problem in user-specific search results

Hi All,
I have created an index which is indexing the docs properly. Now, I written a code to show user-specific docs using index management API's..
I have used an EP5 current user.
ISearchResultList results = session.getSearchResults(1,session.getNumberResultKeys());
In the following stmt, I am getting the proper value for session.getNumberResultKeys(), but still ISearchResultList size always is zero.
Is there anything I am missin in code or its a configuration problem??
I have full control permissions to index as well as to repository folder..Can someone plz get me out of this problem..Its urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Udit

Hi Udit,
I got the solution for the problem. Here is the code I am using and its working great. Just give a try
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = null;
user = (com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser)request.getUser().getUser();
response.write("<html><head><title>Search</title></head><body>");
ResourceContext c = new ResourceContext(user);
try {
IIndexService indexService =
          (IIndexService) ResourceFactory
     .getInstance()
     .getServiceFactory()
     .getService(IServiceTypesConst.INDEX_SERVICE);
     SearchQueryListBuilder sqb = new SearchQueryListBuilder();
     sqb.setSearchTerm("valero");
     IQueryEntryList qel = sqb.buildSearchQueryList();
     // get an instance of federated search
IFederatedSearch federatedSearch =
          (IFederatedSearch) indexService.getObjectInstance(
          IWcmIndexConst.FEDERATED_SEARCH_INSTANCE);
     List indexList = new ArrayList();
     String index = null;
     if (index != null && index.length() > 0) {
     // take a specified index from index= parameter
     indexList.add(indexService.getIndex(index));
     } else {
     // take all available indexes
     indexList = indexService.getActiveIndexes();
     // it is recommended to use a search session object
     // for searching execution
     ISearchSession session = null;
     if (session == null)
     session = federatedSearch.searchWithSession(qel, indexList, c);
     this.renderResultHeader(response, session, indexList);
     // get all results from the search session
     ISearchResultList results =     session.getSearchResults(1, session.getTotalNumberResultKeys());
     response.write(" from session => " + results.size() + " and size is : " + results.toString());
Here it will print the size of the ISearchResultList, the problem is the user we are passing to ResourceContext is not proper.

Hi,
Please look at the Printer of both users. This problem may arise when different printers are allocated for different users.
Look at the print-preview screen of both users.
If Printers are different for both users, then contact to Basis person.

How many Touchsmart users have had video / display problems?

I'm wondering if any other Touchsmart users that use the Nvidia chips have had video issues? Nvidia & HP have admitted issues with some products, though HP don't mention the Touchsmart as one of the affected models,despite the fact that some Touchsmarts (eg IQ770) have both the GeForce Go 7600 chip and AMD Turion processors. But many HP users are reporting problems with other models as well.
In my case my IQ770 completely failed with a sort of checker board pattern within the warranty period, and HP fixed it (eventually!). Now the warranty has expired I'm experiencing intermittent video issues whereby the screen colors go all weird for varying periods (minutes to days), as though the color depth has gone way down, or someone is using a bad chromakey effect. Anecdotally this appears to be heat related. I've ruled out software issues by clean booting from a boot CD. Unfortunately the intermittent nature means that even if I send it for repair, I won't immediately know if the problem has been succesfully fixed, or if in fact anything was done at all!!
So has anyone else experienced video problems?

Require user specific F4 functionality for a field in a program output

Dear all,
My requirement is i am using a field for ex: bukrs, name1 for an output. when iam using this two field in a program, if that program executes, i need F4 functionality for user specific. f4 functionality should show depends upon the name1.

How it is possible. if so please let me know.

Hello Arani,
I think solution to your problem lies in using MATCHCODE addition to parameters and select-options as well.
(This is from SAP F1-Help)
... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help
*Effect*
This addition links the input field of the parameter to a search help search_help from the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the search help must be entered directly. For the input field of the parameter on the selection screen, the input help key is displayed. When the input help (F4) is requested, the user is displayed the hit list from the search help. When an entry is selected, the respective value is placed into the input field. If no search help for the specified name exists in the ABAP Dictionary, a message is displayed in the status line when the input help is requested.
The addition MATCHCODE OBJECT cannot be used together with the additions AS CHECKBOX or RADIOBUTTON.
*Note*
The predecessors of search helps in the ABAP Dictionary were socalled matchcode objects. This is why you have the name MATCHCODE OBJECT for this addition. Matchcode objects that have not yet been replaced by search helps continue to be supported by this addition.
*Example*
Linking the parameter p_carrid with a suitable search help. When you choose the input help on the selection screen, a list with the names of the airline carriers is displayed. If a name is selected, the corresponding abbreviation is placed in the input field.
PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE s_carr_id
MATCHCODE OBJECT demo_f4_de.
Moreover, please read about using MATCHCODE, hope it helps you, Arani.
Thanks: Zahack

Hi Julius,
Please check SAP note 331416 - CO line item reports: EXIT_SAPLKAEP_009. This will help to find out whether your system has specific coding activated. Point 3 in note is as follows:-
3. All users may change all layout/display variants in the standard setting.You should now change this so that only the user 'THE_BOSS' has the authorization to make changes.All other users should only be allowed to change user-defined variants/layouts.
              Solution:parameter I_SAVE is responsible for the control of the variant/layout maintenance. Its characteristic values are:
a) ' ' = display variants cannot be saved
b) 'X' = standard save, user-specific saving is not possible
c) 'U' = only user-specific saving
d) 'A' = standard and user-specific saving
              In the standard system, I_SAVE = 'A'. You have to set this to 'U' for all users except for 'THE_BOSS'.Also refer to Note 310293 regarding this problem.
if sy-uname ne 'THE_BOSS'.
    i_save = 'U'.
endif.
