STS: Why data can't be locked when status is sent to approval.

Hi All,
I'd like to ask about STS, I have a problem on it. I'm working in IP.
Why data can't be locked though the status is already in "send to approval" ?
I've setup data slice under the corresponding cube based on exit class: CL_UPS_LOCK_DATASLICE.
Is it because I've yet to assign R_STS_PT authorization to the planner ? So when I'm opening the data using planner user id, data is still not locked yet.
Could you kindly help me to resolve this problem please ?
Thanks a lot all,
Have a good day,
Best regards,
Daniel N.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the response, much appreciated, a bit of good fortune that I ran into someone in April 2010 who is having the same problem as me on the obscure STS!
I have some queries about your response;
1) You say to create planning a function within a sequence to copy the status., did you mean to copy the version?
2) So the basic principle is, when a user submits data for approval, they use the STS monitor's 'Approval' button, this then triggers the planning sequence to copy data which they just planned to a certain version, this version is hard coded into the data slice, is this correct?
3) What happens then when the higher level manager approves the data, is this then unlocked by copying to another version?
If you could please break it down for me.
Appreciate your time & help.
Regards
SS
Hi Sulman,
You can create function and planning sequence to copy the status.
Then you create dataslice based on particular status to block data from data entry.
You can embed the planning sequence to STS using t-code: BPS_TC.
Thanks a lot .
Best regards,
Daniel N.

Why I can't find the overall status in billing document!?

Hi,
Why I can't find the overall status in billing document? but I can find this status in table VBUK, some documents set 'B' in this field, some set 'C', all of them are Completed and the corresponding account documents are cleared. for this status is 'B',I can't archive these documents.
Thanks.

Dear Lance
Check the field Document object    i.e Document Status object .
A     Order
B     Purchase order
F     Billing document
K     Sales activities
L     Delivery
T     Shipment
V     Shipping
X     Others
Check if all your entries are F, if not find out which document and try to find out why it is not C.
Do revert with your feedback
If it is still a problem , check some SAP notes
For e.g. Note 142368 - Segment VBUK missing in billing document
Header status segment VBUK is missing in the billing document.You can check this with the general table display (SE16).
It is not yet known why this segment is missing.
correct many documents, you can use report ZZVBUK01.

Sequence cache (can it cause lock when.....)

it is set to 0?
We have a sequence that is used as a key in a table. If many users try to select next val from it at once and the cache is 0, can this cause the application to lock?
(I know this sounds far fitch but the only question not ask is a stupid question)

I would also ask why you were setting a sequence to
NOCACHE if there is the potential for many users to
access it simultaneously. Frequently used sequences
ought to have appropriately sized caches.
Folks that set sequences to NOCACHE are frequently
trying to prevent gaps in their sequences. While
setting a sequence to NOCACHE will tend to decrease
the probability of gaps, it will not eliminate them.
If your application absolutely requires a gap-free
e sequence, you cannot use Oracle sequences and you
have to deal with the (significant) performance
penalty of serializing all transactions on the next
sequence value.

It was not the idea of the dba here, but the application programmers (we should be shot for allowing them to tell us this). They did not believe us when we told them that the sequences would not roll back... I reset the cache to a number other than 0...
Thanks all for the feedback

STS: Why manager can still send for approval?

Hi Folks,
Could you kindly help me on this matter ?
Why on the STS, I'm working on it now, the manager (the position is highest) stll can send for approval ? In my opinion, he should only be able to approve / reject.
If I check under that user ID, it has authorization for: R_STS_PT, R_STS_SUP, R_STS_CUST. Is it caused by this ?
Thanks a lot all

Hi Niel,
Refer to the consulting note 530285 and read all the conditions and points.
It will clarify your issue.

Why won't my Mac lock when I shut it down?

I have recently found out that my Mac won't lock after I shut it down. And if I leave it in sleep mode, all I have to do to bypass the password screen is just restart it. What can I do to fix this?

Make sure "Automatic login" is selected "Off" under Users & Groups > Login Options.
Is this option selected?

HT4993 My iPhone 4s was bought with full price in the USA from Sprint,why I can't ues it when I came back to china??why?Please do something!

SOS!!

You can't use it because it's still locked to Sprint.
Sprint will unlock it for use on non US carrier ONLY for current Sprint customers in good standing.
You should have purchased an unlocked phone From Apple.

Timesheet keeps loading when saved or sent for approval

Of late we are having issue with users while trying to save timesheet and send timesheet for approval. On selecting these buttons the timesheet keeps on showing 'loading' message and when user clicks on any other link in PWA page a pop-up comes up 'You are
naviating away from this page, your changes will be lost'.
Most the users facing this issue are either using IE 9 or IE 10 and for some users changing Browser mode to IE 9 in F12 Developer Tools worked but some users responded back saying issue still persists. But for the same users timesheet save and submit timesheet
worked fine in Mozilla and Chrome browsers. Cache issue might not be present in IE as this issue happened even after clearing browser cache in IE.
The similar is issue was faced by some PMs accessing Project Center. Also there is no entry for this behavior in ULS logs.
Environment is Project Server 2010 SP2.

For users in IE10 can you add the PWA site in Compatibility View and then Check.
Go to Tools in IE > Compatibility View Settings. Add the Site.

Why iphone can activate Siri when it is put near ear

Dear all,
Why iphone can activate Siri automatically when the phone is put near an ear. The magic thing is that when you put the iphone near your face, body or other object, Siri will not be activated. How can Apple do that ?

Thanks for your good try.
I tried but Siri did not activate when I moved my iphone near other objects, except my ear. You can have a try. If you can work out how the magic operates, please tell me.

My X61 can't connect wireless when i use battery!!!

TYPE NO.: 7673-AN6
i confused why it can not connect wireless when i use battery?!
the problem drive me crazy nearly, it means i must take adapter every time
i help every one can help me!
cheers,

Most of the functionality and problems are in the drivers. The hardware tends to be discrete testable functions though these days there is a fair bit of functionality in the hardware. The hardware tends to be implementing better defined protocols where as the to and fro of the higher level protocols tend to be what varies from Access Point to Access Point. The 4965AGN is a fairly recent chip set and the drivers are far from smoothly running.
The problems can vary from AP to AP so may work at home but not at work etc. Some have reported here that the 4965AGN setup doesn't work with the Cisco 1200 Access Point and I have yet to be able to get it to work under Vista with the equipment at any New York Starbucks. T-mobile do use Cisco equipment but I don't know which models.
Anything you can do to simplify the situation helps. Maximum power. No security. Disable IPv6 on the connection etc. Just to give a rough idea of the kind of thing that might be wrong here are some of the things listed as known issues or fixed according to the readme of the driver (Originating from Intel) that was released for the 4965AGN on 4/11/08.
There are several authentication issues with EAP, PEAP and LEAP which will cause it not to authenticate. There are also Vista EAP issues and some things which may resolve with SP1 which was pushed out on update last week. So there are many comnbinations of situations which may not work and it is important to test with different access points. Authentication and security has more issues. Also at the higher speeds such as 54Mb some of the security mechanisms will not be able to keep up. AES is the only mechanism which Intel expects to work at 54Mb.
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15806/ENG/relnotes.htm
There have also been past issues where the cards are silenced for twenty minutes after a failure to authenticate and in many cases the card will not be in a valid state after hibernation. It is noticable that when you phone T-mobile the first thing the tech has you do is completely shut the machine down - not hibernate - and begin afresh.
Once you have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and connection manager a few times it is also possible to be having problems with junk left in the registry.
I don't recommend adding the 4965 drivers directly from the Intel site. I would wait for the one that has come through the Lenovo testing cycle.
In reality for those who don't want to make maintaining their laptop a serious hobby (Hopefully all of us - Far too much time is wasted on wireless) it is really a matter of rebooting your machine at a given access point. Trying your luck and then shutting it down and going somewhere else if it doesn't work. Use wires when you can. At home if your access point doesn't work check your configuratiions, temporarily remove all security, restore factory settings on the AP, reinstall from scratch and if it still doesn't work replace it with a different brand of Access Point.
Of course it is intended to just work and for 95+% of situations Wi-Fi does. The 4965AGN is newer so it has its fair share of early life issues to get resolved. Vista also still has issues. If the problem you are seeing is only when you are on batteries you are lucky and LANOgre's instructions may well solve it.

Photos get scrambled by time when they are sent to Photowell

When I download photos from the camera they are in date and time order however when they get sent to the "Photowell" (which happens automatically after you restart the software) the photos are not ordered in accordance with the time. I have the software set to display newest photos first and yet they are not order newest first in terms of time. For example, Dec. 26 8:44 am, Dec. 25 9:30 am, Dec. 25 9:52 am, Dec. 25 5:15 pm. I would love to be able to sort the photos by the time stamp. Is there a way to do this? I tried selecting everything in the Photowell and choosing File/Update Thumbnails but this did not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In Photoshop Elements 7.0, we have this option. Not sure about earlier versions.
1. In Organizer, Go to Edit -> Preferences.
2. Select Show Newest First within Each Day Radio button.
3. Click OK.
This will solve the problem.
Thanks.

Why can my children lock and erase other family member Apple devices from their Apple ID?

I recently setup iCloud Family Sharing for our home of 5 people. My personal and unique Apple ID is the controlling parent ID. Others in the family are my wife and 3 children (1 over 18 and 2 under 18). Today I logged into iCloud from one of my kids Apple ID and noticed that it allows him to see everyone elses device location and also gives him the authority to turn on Lost Mode (which locks the device) and to Erase each device. I then logged out and logged into another childs Apple ID and it was the same thing. They could each see everyone's devices including my personal Mac Book Pro, both the iPads my wife and I use and the family iMac.
Essentially that means my kids each have the ability to erase or turn on lost mode for anyone elses device which is kinda scary. Now, perhaps you are thinking that I somehow messed up and put my kids Apple ID as the Organizer for iCloud family share but I can assure you I did not. When I go into iCloud to see the hierarchy it clearly shows my Apple ID as the Organizer and the others are simply shown as family members and are not authorized to approve purchases. I also do not have my kids Apple ID setup on my personal Macbook Pro or my personal iPad as an account so there's no connection that way.
That said, I also wondered if my kids could really do anything to my personal devices or if it would ask them for my password or lock code before doing anything, so I tried it by logging into my son's iCloud account using his Apple ID. I located my personal iPad and then told it to turn on Lost mode. And sure enough it locked my iPad from my son's iCloud account.
So is this how it's supposed to work or is something wrong with iCloud rights for device management? It seems totally wrong that my other family members have such control over other family member devices.
Thanks

Hello sbrown02,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to know why the people in your Family Sharing group have access to your location and that ability to put a device in Lost Mode. Lost Mode is a function available with location sharing and can be toggled off or on. Please reference the attached article for more information.
Family Sharing and location - Apple Support
Use location sharing with Find My iPhone
If you join family sharing and choose to share your location with family members, they can locate and secure a missing device for you.
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device, a family member can:
See the location and status of your device
Play a sound on your missing device to help you find it
Put your device in Lost Mode to help you find it
If you don't share your location with family members, they will be able to see that your devices are online or offline and play a sound to help you locate your missing device. They won't have access to any location information about your devices.
Best regards,
Joe

Do I have to use lock when I am reading data from a table

Hi,
When i am reading data from a table , do I have to set a lock on that table .
Is it necessary for us to set the lock on a table when I am reading data from the table.
When I am updating the table , do I have to set a lock on the table ?
If yes, then what sort of lock-read lock,write lock or shared lock?
Regards,
Sushanth H.S.

check it out,
Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
- Read Lock(Shared Locked)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
the locked area of the table
- Write Lock(exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
the locked area of the table.
- Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
same transaction.
You can create a lock on a object of SAP thorugh transaction SE11 and enter any meaningful name start with EZ Example EZTEST_LOCK.
Use: you can see in almost all transaction when you are open an object in Change mode SAP could not allow to any other user to open the same object in change mode.
Example: in HR when we are enter a personal number in master data maintainance screen SAP can't allow to any other user to use same personal number for changes.
Technicaly:
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.
You have to use these function module in your program.
check this link for example.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
tables:vbak.
call function 'ENQUEUE_EZLOCK3'
exporting
mode_vbak = 'E'
mandt = sy-mandt
vbeln = vbak-vbeln
X_VBELN = ' '
_SCOPE = '2'
_WAIT = ' '
_COLLECT = ' '

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
Normally ABAPers will create the Lock objects, because we know when to lock and how to lock and where to lock the Object then after completing our updations we unlock the Objects in the Tables
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
purpose: If multiple user try to access a database object, inconsistency may occer. To avoid that inconsistency and to let multiple user give the accessibility of the database objects the locking mechanism is used.
Steps: first we create a loc object in se11 . Suppose for a table mara. It will create two functional module.:
1. enque_lockobject
1. deque_lockobject
before updating any table first we lock the table by calling enque_lockobject fm and then after updating we release the lock by deque_lockobject.
Select the radio button "Lock object"..
Give the name starts with EZ or EY..
Example: EYTEST
Press Create button..
Give the short description..
Example: Lock object for table ZTABLE..
In the tables tab..Give the table name..
Example: ZTABLE
Save and generate..
Your lock object is now created..You can see the LOCK MODULES..
In the menu ..GOTO -> LOCK MODULES..There you can see the ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE function
