Suggestion to beginner

hi. i'm new to sap and have been working as a java/microsoft developer for the past few years.
i wish to start in sap, but unsure which field to go to. Can anyone suggest to me how to start a career in sap? should i venture into functional area or into technical side?
thank you.

Suggestions for beginner

Hi,
          I am new to clustering and load balancing. Although I have read through
          most relating documents I have found in WebLogic, I am still not quite
          understand how to develop such an application (in WL) and what the
          requirements are. I will appreciate any pointers to any reading
          material, examples or suggestions that will help me to get up to speed.
          Thanks in advance.

XE will give you an insight of Oracle's features, but since Oracle XE is not a commonly used DB for production environments because it is a very limited edition compared with the actual production requirements, I suggest you to start getting involved with EE features. Enterprises use either EE and SE. For a list of differences between versions, refer to this : Oracle DB Editions.
When you start any thing you are always at the entry level, and most companies require you to have practical real world experience, some others require you to be certified (OCA or OCP), so I suggest you to gain as much practice as you can from your XE edition and install the EE edition. I suggest you to start with 10gR2 since it is one of the most widely used release right now (9iR2 is the other most used platform, but during the last few months I've seen a lot of companies scheduling migration/upgrade to 10gR2), 11g has just been publicly released on july 11th, and there are not much companies right now that are planing or even willing to migrate to 11g.

Want to keep two objects perspective the same

Here is what I want to do and wondering if I should group or lock? object.
Here is what I have done.
1. Made an oval
2. Offset path of 1/2" for second oval
3. 1st oval is yellow
4. 2nd oval is blue - If this is the correct way, what I have is a yellow fill between the two ovals of an 1/2"
These are the steps that I want to do
1. text on a path between the two oval in the yellow area. I will have text on the top portion in the yellow and the bottom portion of the yellow oval. I have done text on a path just have to refresh on how to do it by googleing
2. text box in the smaller blue oval.
When should I group these objects or whatever I need to do so they will all stay together.
Should I make seperate layers
should text be on one layer.
thanks
Mike

This was done in CS3.
Some will say the following is too involved and will offer various shortcuts. But your questions about when/whether to group, etc., suggests a beginner. This frequently-duplicated post about how to construct text along the top and bottom of an ellipse can result in much confusion for beginners, due to Illustrator's absurdly cumbersome interface. The explicit and methodical steps described are intended to yield a clean set of objects and (hopefully) clear understanding of what is going on for AI beginners.
The blue notes between the screenshots are not parts of the procedure, but just to explain to nay-sayers the reasons for recommending the method.
Some will suggest using Offset Path or Outline Stroke to make the two parallel paths. But only four anchorPoints are needed to cleanly define an ellipse, and those features often inject more anchorPoints than necessary.
In Illustrator, despite what is suggested by the visual selection appearance, selecting, copying, and pasting "only" an anchorPoint anywhere in the middle of a path actually also selects the two adjacent segments, and the anchorPoints at the other ends of those segments. So by ostensibly selecting "only" the one anchorPoint, you are actually selecting half the ellipse.
Setting the text alignment before creating the PathType object avoids the confusion of Illustrator's pathType "margin" and "center" bars, which don't look like selection handles at all, and are chronically confusing to beginners. By clicking at the start of the path with the Type Tool, the "margin handles" start and end at the endpoints of the path, whereas clicking elsewhere on the path results in the text appearing anywhere but the center of the path. So clicking at the startPoint when alignment is set to Center also usually avoids tedious manipulation of the text span handles.
Flipping the path is just more intuitive and less tedious (and easier to explain) than dragging the center handle across the path. It also results in the threaded text link being displayed as crossing back to the left of the "ellipse", which is more intuitive than its simply dissappearing otherwise. Bringing the bottom half of the ellipse to the front makes it the "last" textFrame of the upcoming Threaded Text, so that the flow of the text when ending is more intuitive.
In Illustrator, return characters cause threaded text to jump to the next typePath object. The construct so far also causes the behavior to most closely mimic the more intuitive behavior of FreeHand's TypeOnPath along closed paths, with the limitation of the "top" and "bottom" being limited to where the original ellipse was cut into two paths (a limitation which does not exist with FreeHand's superior treatment of this common feature).
Baseline Shifting the text so that it is centered on the baseline results in better spacing when the text is edited and styled, because as the tops of the glyphs tilt nearer, the bottoms tilt farther. This allows you to use the same tracking adjustment (if needed) for the text at the top as for that at the bottom. This is why a Blend was used to create an ellipse centered between the innermost and outermost ellipses.
You now have a Group containing three objects:
Two "pathType" objects (my term)
One Compound Path (A special kind of "group" which joins paths such that they act like one path when it comes to fill and stroke; most often used to create a path with a "hole" in it.)

Applescript: Create a Folder from Files of Same Name but different Extension

Hi guys,
Racking my brain for the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to properly use Applescript but alas to no avail.
My problem is as follows.
xxxxxxx.extension1
xxxxxxx.extension2
yyyyyyy.extension1
yyyyyyy.extension2
zzzzzzz.extension1
zzzzzzz.extension2
I've been trying to create an applescript that takes files of same name and create a folder with the name of those files grabbed.
So ultimately it would look like
xxxxxxx/
     xxxxxxx.extension1
     xxxxxxx.extension2
yyyyyyy/
     yyyyyyy.extension1
     yyyyyyy.extension2
zzzzzzz/
     zzzzzzz.extension1
     zzzzzzz.extension2
Can some more more adept at this than me provide with a solution? It would be great if I could use by just selecting the folder that contains all these files.
Also can anyone suggest an beginner's book on Applescript? I'm a bit or an order freak and Im sure applescripting could help me automate a lot of repetitive tasks Im currently doing.
Thanks!

This will do what you need.
set source to (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Test") as alias
tell application "System Events"
               set fnames to (name of every file of source)
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
repeat with fname in fnames
          try
               set folderName to text item 1 of fname
               if folderName is not "" then
                tell application "Finder"
                  if not (exists (folder folderName of source)) then
                      make new folder at source with properties {name:folderName}
                  end if
                 move file fname of folder source to folder folderName of source
             end tell
       end if
    end try
end repeat
(the code formatting here really s*?ks. select all the text in the box and right click and select services make new AppleScript to get it into the editor)
It's not very polished so be careful, setup some test folders and make sure it does what you want before using it on your live data.
You need to set the
set source to
line to the path of the folder where the files are. You can do that as an absolute path ie "Macintosh HD:Users:etc" or using the path to as in the example.
It is also not very efficient and there are many different ways to attack this problem. If this is a one time thing this will be fine. If it will be an ongoing situation you might want to describe exactly what is happening and other ways to solve the problem might be possible.
As for learning AppleScript start with the Apple Development Site, especially AppleScript Language Guide.
There are lots of sites out there with good info MacScripter being one of the better ones.
Book wise I really like Learn AppleScript by Apress. Its good as both a tutorial and reference and has a good intro to AppleScript Objective-C (a way Apple ahs setup to allow AppleScripts to access pure objective-c code and the OS X GUI).
good luck

EJB, JSP on web sphere

Asking for suggestions as a beginner

Hey guys, I'm new to this fantastic dreamweaver world and I've just started building my website. As a beginner, I eagerly need suggestions from you who have much more experience in terms of web designing. Here is the question bothering me since the day I started watching tutorials:
Firstly, I could learn as detailed as I could, before I start each step. For example, before I make my spry menu bar, I could read books about it to have a thorough understanding. Then I create one and do the same preparation for the next step.
Secondly, I could try my best to build an entire website by acquiring just the minimum knowledge about each function. After the entire structure was built, I could start looking into details and upgrade my features.
I'm wondering which way could be more efficient: the first makes me feel confident as I carry out my construction step by step, but could be super time consuming; the second tends to be the common way for writing an article, however, as for web designing, I always have fear that I might make some fatal mistake at the beginning that couln't be corrected so I might have to rebuild the website, only finding how silly I was.
I'm having a hard time thinking which is the better way until I realize I can ask you for help. I believe your suggesions would be much more effective than my own. Could you give me some suggesions for my problem? It would be really helpful to me.
Looking forward to your reply!

Hello there,
Welcome to the forums.
Your question is very common in most 'budding web designers/ developers'.
My recommendation here: Dreamweaver is only an application that helps you code, it is not the 'code' itself. You should ideally begin by learning basics of CSS & HTML and a little bit of Javascript (if you're planning to do a bit more niche work). Then, start using Dreamweaver. While DW offers a lot of great support tools to help you code, it doesn't do the code itself. You should know exactly what you want before you can start creating something in DW.
In your scenario, I'd recommend your first approach. Follow a step-by-step tutorial. Get things in place. While you're doing this, you'll learn lots more about what it is you're coding and what effect does it have on your webpage (visually). Feel free to make mistakes. That's the only way you'll learn in a self-taught mechanism.
For starters, I'd recommend these references you can go through:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html - This is a tutorial that guides you step-by-step about creating your first website in Dreamweaver. Authored by David Powers - one of our senior members in this forum
http://www.w3schools.com/css/ - Reference for CSS
http://learncss.tutsplus.com/ - A great free resource to learn the most basics of CSS - Most recommended if you're beginning to make websites
Also, begin here for creating a Photoshop design (for your website) which you can later code in Dreamweaver. This is very basic, but will help you understand starter concepts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4MJRhXajuw&feature=channel&list=UL - Follow all 3 parts. Once you're done with that, begin here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKeg1nhe-wE&feature=channel&list=UL - to make your Photoshop design into an actual website. This is a 6 part tutorial.
Once you're comfortable with the basic HTML + CSS web design, you can then learn HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery concepts as this is the modern standard now. But, don't rush in! Learn the very basics first before you get into anything advanced.
All the best.
Feel free to post back if you need more clarifications!

[SOLVED] [Wiki] Beginner's Guide suggestion

I want to make a suggestion to improve the Beginner's Guide in the ArchWiki.
I just installed Arch Linux reading this guide and the only thing that wasn't clear to me is when I needed to select packages from a group. Same problem of this guy: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118413

Suggestion : Beginner and Advanced Forum related to Apex ...

Hello,
I have a suggestion :
What's about implementing 2 levels (or more) in the forum related to Apex :
Beginner and Advanced for instance...
Your point of view ...
Regards

Since you are asking for a point of view, I don't think this makes sense. Who should take
care to distiguish between "beginner" and "advanced" questions? That would cause a huge
confusion and wouldn't help anyone. This forum is a great knowledge base. It should be kept
at one place.
How about telling us your name? As you can see, we are not hiding our identity. It is always
a problem talking to a character string user||number.

Beginner needs suggestions on books.

I am thinking of buying some of Dave Power's books on php and
Dreamweaver. I can cut and paste code and use Dreamweaver, but I
don't really understand what I am doing. I know a lot of code
snippets, but I don't really have a view of the big picture. Here
is how I have been learning: I use Dreamweaver. I look for the item
I want to change, and if I find it I make the changes then see if
it works or if I have broken the site. I have just about reached
the limit on what I can learn using this hit or miss method. Other
than book suggestions, I guess my main question would be "How can I
understand the overall organization and structure of a web site
composed of html files or php files or a combination of the two"?
How are these files related to each other and why are they in
separate files to begin with? Why isn't a web site one giant file?
I give two examples here:
Example1: I know an html web site is made of pages and I have
no trouble making one. I just have to have an index.html page which
links to other pages which I can call whatever I want such as
products.html or whatever. To me all such html pages (at least the
files I make) are clones of each other except for content changes.
In php this simple file to file or page to page relationship is not
evident. I see things like configure.php and folder named includes
(whatever that means). I need to understand the entire web site
package if I am to make any sense of how each of these individual
files work together. And why have a folder named "incudes" anyway?
Why aren't all the files in the same folder? How can I know that
changing one enigmatically named php file will affect other files
not even in the same directory?
Example 2: Where on the server do these files go and why? I
just found out about .htaccess in order to password protect a
directory on a web site but I don't what that is exactly and how it
works, where it is placed, or how to create it. I asked my host
admin person to create it for me and he did. I see some .htaccess
files but I don't know why they are there in such and such a
folder. When I open it, the contents mean nothing to me.
So what books can unveil the mystery of html, php, and where
on the server these files go and why? I can already upload a web
site I created via ftp to a server, but I don't understand why I am
putting it where I am told to put it. Although I can usually figure
out and use the server path names or directory naming schemes, I
don't really understand them or how they work. I would prefer to
buy e-Books if possible so I can view them immediately.

I'm not quite sure when it was released as an e-book, but it
was some
time in the second half of last year. "Foundation PHP for

came out when Apress was experimenting with e-book versions,
and it
somehow got left behind. I think that all new friends of ED
books are
now released simultaneously in paper and e-book versions.

Varifocal lenses are the answer. :-)
Seriously, though, it seems as though many people like having
both paper
and electronic versions of a book. I don't know if you have
"PHP
Solutions", but the final page gives details of how to get a
discount on
the e-book version. Apparently, you need a copy of "PHP
Solutions" with
you when ordering the e-book version, because you get 60
seconds to
answer a question related to the book to qualify for the
discount.
The e-book versions are available only from the Apress
website. You
can't get them from Amazon.

I want to learn OCCI plz suggest me any book to begin with

The Oracle C++ Call Interface Programmer's Guide http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96583/toc.htm is a great place to start. I'm not aware of any books other than Oracle manuals that cover OCCI.

Suggestions For A Reporting System

Hi,
I'm currently working a nefty Swing application and was looking for ideas as to how to develop a robust, extensible reporting system. I would appreciate any all suggestions to make the whole system work as efficiently as possible, with little difficulties when it comes to adding new reports and all.
Basically is here the structure I'm currently using:
1. I have an abstract class called ReportNode which has the following basic structure:
public abstract class ReportNode {
     * Returns a List of Person objects which will be used to create the Report. This is the only
     * required method needs to be implemented by the report node subclasses. All other methods can be
     * overridden as required.
     * @return the List of Person objects to use for the report
    public abstract List<MemberData> getNodeData();
     * Returns a TableModel with the data to be displayed
     * @return a TableModel with the data to be displayed
    public TableModel getNodeDataModel() {
        return new DefaultTableModel();
    // with several other methods which can be overriden and as necessary
}2. Each report is currently hard coded by extending the ReportNode object and overriding either one of the two methods stated to retrieve the required information which can then be displayed in a JTable, using a predefined TableModel (for the first method) or a the custom TableModel returned from the second.
Now I want to move the code out the hard coded format since the reports are growing and I would like suggestions or pointers on some best practices that can help me get the results I need. That is, suggestions as to
- what type of database structure can be set up that can make generating custom reports possible
- or perhaps I should go with Stored Procedures instead and come with some table design that can be used to pick the required variables for the procedures
- should I stick with the JTable reporting (works quite well for data presentation, but can be tricky when it comes to printing at times)
- or I should switch completely to some of the standard reporting systems like Jasper Reports (I tried it but found it a bit cumbersome for a beginner)
Any suggestions (however small) would be greatly appreciated.

Need suggestion for a effective web application

Hi all,
I need ur valuable suggestions as how to create a web application effectively. So far I have been doing design,business logic and database operation in JSP itself. I dont want to continue with this. As a beginner i dont want to jump into struts directly without working in java beans and servlets.
When should i use beans and when should i use java classes and when should i use servlets?
Say for eg: I have a JSP page where i get the Employee details like
Employee Name:
Employee ID:
Department: (Drop Down)
Designation: (Drop Down)
Address:
Salary:
At present i have created a jsp page EmployeeDetails.jsp where i have created text box to get input for emp name,id,address and salary.
written db query to fetch existing departments and designations from DB and i have populated it in drop down. Once the user submits the page then the insertion part into DB is done in another jsp, SaveEmpDetails.jsp.
Instead of doing everything in JSP how should i use bean or servlets.
Here where should i use bean and where should i use servlets and java classes?
It would be really helpful if someone help me to move one step forward and create effective web application.
any tutorial or link which gives sample application design would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Thanuja.

ok i checked the links and also few post in this forum.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5189695
eg given in the above thread uses jsp,bean and servlet.
I have a doubt. why to use bean in that eg. cant we directly get the value in jsp and pass it to servlet and make db insertion there?
for the employee details scenario should i use bean? or directly pass the parameters to servlet and vise versa.
Thanuja.
