Technical guideline for ads

Has anyone already a sample to provide?
Thx

Hi Chiranthaka,
It is much easier to create a master page from existing HTML page in SharePoint site. You could copy and download an existed HTML file and modify it. Then you would upload it to your site and convert it to master page. At last, publish it so that all users
could see the new master page.
Should you have any specific question, let me know.

Hi Chiranthaka,
Rebecca is right. One of the improvements in SharePoint 2013 is the addition of the Design Manager, which allows you to easily create new masterpages and layouts.
First of all, you should create a new HTML design by your own, usign the HTML editor you prefer or using some web development kit as
Fluid baseline grid or
Bootstrap.
Then, you have to upload all your design resources to the masterpages library and finally customize the placeholders distribution with the snippets you can get through design manager.
Here is the overview of the design manager and all the steps to achive your masterpage from custom HTML.
Hope it helps!

PDF with Tomcat - guidelines for template editing

PDF generation with Tomcat using the standard template works fine - but is pretty bland.
Does anyone have any guidelines for editing the template - what may / may not be included?
Are there any GUI tools for this?
Thanks

Vadim,
Report queries and report region use the same generic report layout. However the processing is handled by different engines. The underlying technical problem with your case is that the substitution string #TEXT_ALIGN# is not substituted in all cases for report queries. This usually does not cause any problems, but appears not to work when using Cocoon.
I'll see that we can this resolved with the next version of APEX, however when working with report layouts, you would typically use your own RTF or XSL-FO stylesheets, where this problem would not occur. The option to use the generic report layout is only included so the data can be tested independently from the layout and is not really intended to be used as the actual layout at runtime.
The generic report layout function is mainly designed to be used for report regions.

Marc

Feedback: technical style for unit preferences

in Preferences>Units & Rulers, simply write a unit label in terms of singular rather than plural.
with reference to technical styles for writing units, a unit label of 'mm' for millimeter is clear and usable. likewise for a unit label of 'cm' for centimeter.
HTML and CSS already specify guidelines for structured styles. i imagine that developers and users of software interfaces might also benefit from applicable uses of structured styles.
ps - i could use the Photoshop CS6 beta seamlessly into my image workflows.

It helps if you tell which version you are using.
Did you try to change the master quiz slides for the position of the feedback captions?

Best Practises and Guidelines for SharePoint 2013 Development

Currently We are using SharePoint 2010 and doing a lot of enhancement and customization in the portal.
we are planning to migrate SharePoint 2013 after 6-9 months.
I want to know what are the best practices and guidelines for development in SharePoint 2010 keeping one thing in mind that customization should be compatible or can easily migrate to SharePoint 2013 so that re-engineering effort would be as minimum
as possible.
We have every possible piece of customization in SharePoint 2010 portal like web part, event receivers, workflows, master page, page layout, custom search etc.
Please do the needful.

Best practices don't really apply here. They are generally rules of thumb that you can apply without thinking too much and be pretty much right. Development is by it's nature too varied to allow that sort of best practice guidance.
Having said that the main thing you should be concerned with around the choice of development approach in 2013 is the intended future of your client and the application. If they are making a move to the cloud you should be concentrating on the app model
and rapidly phasing out farm solutions. If they are considering it then you can still consider using the more old-school options of farm solutions and sandboxed solutions. If they can't go to the cloud because of data security etc. then you are more or less
free to use what you like.
Also, try to move to client side processing wherever possible. MS are only going to make server side work less pleasant in future.
Beyond that, get to some conferences and start chewing through some of the blogs on the topic.

Technical Specifiaction for the ABAP HR Functional Spec

HI Please help me to write a technical spec for the below functional spec.
As-Is Business Process
Duplicate Performance, Development and Career Plans are being created. Forms have been created with incorrect validity dates. Some people that should have forms dont and some that should not have forms do. We have no easy way to periodically audit for these situations.
To Be Business Process
Audit report to be run via the SRET report tree to check for duplicate plans, incorrect validity dates, and actives that are missing forms as well as terms that have forms that are not in completed status.   Should be able to save selections as a variant.
Selection Screen
Use selection screen from YAUMI tcode as a base model. We only need the top bar, the selection section,, and a section for invalid data edits, which will be modified as shown below. Additionally, there should be a section to choose templates.
Template section:
      This section can be modeled after the selection screen in program Y_HRHAP_PDPGEN. Each template is selected via drop down, and the plan end year is entered. Drop down to choose template that shows form name. For development and career, the expected end year is 9999, which would be entered in the year for those 2 templates. For the Performance plan, the current year is the end year, and would be entered.
Invalid Data Edits section:
   Checkboxes for:
1)     duplicate plans
2)     invalid validity dates
3)     missing plans for active
4)     terms with non completed plans
Logic
     Include the templates selected above for associates with the chosen selections.
     If duplicate plans checkbox is selected
            If the plan year end on the screen is 9999, see if there is any associate that has more than one of this template in status not equal to Complete. If so, output to audit report.
            If the plan year end on the screen is less than 9999 (i.e. 2007), then see if there is any pernr that has more than one of this template in a status that is not equal to Complete with an validity end date of 12/31/yyyy (where yyyy is the year on the selection screen). If so, output to audit report.
     If invalid validity dates is selected
        If the plan year end on the screen is 9999, see if there is any pernr that has that template in status not equal to Complete with an end date not equal to 12/31/9999. If so, output to audit report.
            If the plan year end on the screen is less than 9999 (i.e. 2007), then see if there is any pernr with that template in status not equal to Complete with an end date = 12/31/9999, or with an end date with a month and day not equal to 12/31. If so, output to audit report.
     If missing plans for active is selected
     See if there are any people in the selected population that do NOT have any of the selected templates in a status not equal to Complete If so, output to audit report.
      If terms with active plans is selected
     See if there are any people in the selected population that DO have any of the selected templates in a status not equal to Complete If so, output to audit report.
Output
      Appraisee Pernr
      Appraisee Name
      Template name
      Validity Dates begin date and end date
      Status / Substatus
      Appraiser Pernr
      Appraiser Name
      Message :
          Duplicate plan
          Invalid Validity End Date
          Missing plan
          Plan not completed.
      For missing plan error, the fields for validity dates, status/substatus, appraiser pernr and appraiser name will be blank.
Thanks

Error While Creating Technical System for SNC

Hi There,
I am trying to create technical system for SNC in SLD, I am not able to seee SNC as a s/w component/product in the list.
when I checked the list of components in SLD, I found SNC is there under product "SCMSNC" but this product is not in the list of products.
Please help me how I can get "SCMSNC" product in the product list.
Thanks,
Nishant

Can you please explain it little bit clearly?
I think you first create product, then SWC and then try to create Technical system.
While you will create the Technical system, in the last step it will ask you for installed products.
There you can specify ur product.
Thanks,

i am doing a file2idoc scenario.i want to crete a technical system as web-as-abap.but we are having ecc6.0.here we are having both abap & xi .here those are having different host name.here in this scenario i am using idoc as receiver system.so will i use hostnbame of abap or xi in technical system(web-as-abap)??

Hi Michal,
Thanks for reply.
Regd Logical System, i did like this.
T-Code: SALE
Copied 'Logical System' name which is assigned for Client 800.
and While creating SLD,
Technical System: ( for Receiver IDOC)
1.Web As ABAP
2.Web AS ABAP Name (SID): FIC ( i don't know where to find SID , somebody asked me to give my R/3 System name.
Note:Other guy told me like this to find SID, T-Code:SM51
There will be name Seperated by 2 Underscores, the part next to 2nd underscore is SID. So, in my R/3 System, its like FIC_FIC_00, but when i tried to give 00 as SID, its not accepting, so i gave FIC)
Installtion Number: (i gave)
Database hostname: FIC
3. In next page Instance Number:00
4. In next page Host Name: FIC and clicked Add
5. Client: 800
Logical System: T90CLNT090 ( which is from T-Code Sale)
Business System:
1. New_BS_IDOC
2. Selected the Technical System created above.
Still cannot find in "Adapter Specific Identifiers"
<i>>>>you need to have logical system for your r3 business system (which you put in header mapping - sender service of the receiver agreement)</i>
do i need to provide, receiver Buss System for Sender Service of Receiver Agreement?
and i looked at weblog given, i am unable to find anything under T-Code IDX2, its empty..
Any Sugg?

Should I use a separate JAVA instance for ADS

My customer has Enterprise portal and R/3 installed already. Now they want ADS installed. Would it be best to install a new JAVA instance for ADS or should I use the existing JAVA instance that is installed for the portal? I think the customer is preferring to use a separate instance so nothing already installed breaks. Also, if I do use a separate JAVA instance, should I connect to the portal through SLD?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hello,
Installation of new java instance for ADS (or) using the one available inthe portal java instance depends on the following factors:-
1) How much extra load can the existing java instance handle
2) What is the user case and expected load for ADS in the customer landscape?
3) Whether ADS will be used exclusively for portal ?
Following link may give you a better idea of whether to use ADS within applicaiton portal (or) use standalone ADS

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to NCS 1.1.1 You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service contract.
For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is sufficient. You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license > Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.
Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes. Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. If you are ordering a Cisco Prime physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your WCS data.
There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

Understand the technical base for Enterprise Services?

Hi all,
I am trying to understand what is the technical base for enterprise services and the restrictions when activating them. The best documents I have found are:
Note 1566412 u2013 Enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0.
Note 1359215 u2013 Technical prerequisites for using enterprise services
sdn blog u201CDetermin the SOA readiness of your System with the ES Workplace (Part 1 and 2)
EHP Master Guide - https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001183052011E
The documents are quite informative, however there are still questions. Maybe someone can shed some light of these:
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
a. An EHP (with relation to a business function).
b. The swc u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. ES Bundle "Bank Communication Management".
c. The SWC u201CSAP APPLu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. u201CBusinessPartnerERPUpdateRequestConfirmation_Inu201D
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
Do I need the XI Content with the service interfaces in ES Repository (and SPROXY) only if the communication is B2B (with PI) or also if the communication is Point-2-Point (without PI)?
Thanks for your feedback!
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'll try and provide answers where I can...
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
I personally don't agree with this understanding. Enterprise Services would always relate to some or other business function, unless we have a different understanding of what "Business Function" means . What changes is how the Enterprise Services (or versions of them) are delivered.
SAP APPL for example would be relevant to most of the enterprise services shipped with a standard ECC EHP*. So it will relate to the business functionality for the applications that are shipped with an ECC installation.
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
I don't understand this question but I'll try and offer a generic answer. You can activate/use Enterprise Services whenever you want to as long as they are already available in your current installation. If they are only available in an EHP that you don't have yet then you will need to upgrade (but I also seem to recall some workarounds - SAP notes - as an alternative to upgrading).
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
You decide when you would like to activate it, it's generally after. SAP will ship them anyway.
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
There is a tool call Impact Analyzer, read up a little on it. It allows you to do an impact analysis before activating. It might also help posting a separate thread on of the ECC functional forums here on SCN for more impact analysis. I'm not sure if the activation can be reverted.
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
The XI Content is the design equivalent of the Enterprise Services as you see them in SPROXY. It's only relevant in certain cases, examples:
- If you want to enhance standard SAP Enterprise Services
- If you want to do additional transformation/s & routing.
If you are planning P2P type communication, then the XI content is not relevant. One thing to be aware of though is if you have your backend ECC system connected to your PI ESR, the view that you get in SPROXY will reflect the SWC view of the ESR. So you might want to download the XI Content & import it into your PI ESR anyway.
Regards, Trevor

If you need help quickly... Guideline for posting an effective question.

Whenever you have a question that you would like answered, do pose that question effectively.
First, do not assume that because you have tried many, many times that your question is understood by someone else. What is obvious to you may not be for another. So please state in a very detailed and structured way what steps you have taken to cause your problem, how you can replicate this problem, under what circumstances on what hardware/software.
The fact that you have nearly given up because of your problem does not mean that someone else can readily understand this problem. When you go to your doctor and say: "I have a pain in my stomach" he will ask you a lot of questions. Same applies here. Your doctor may need to know about any medication you have taken, your blood pressure, history, etc. If you want help, be as PRECISE and ACCURATE as possible.
Second, this is a USER TO USER forum. So ranting will not help. What may help is a STRUCTURED approach to describing the problem you have.
Third, do a thorough search of posts here, on other fora and with Google before repeating what has been asked a thousand times and has worn out the patience of regulars here, who have answered your question a dozen times already. Use the FAQ and the Wiki to find answers to questions that have been posed and answered repeatedly. Do not assume you are unique with your problem. Well, you are unique, the problem you have most likely is not.
Fourth, realize that even though it may be highly frustrating to you to not be able to solve YOUR problem, by posting your question here, you are dependent on fellow editors to help you on their free time without compensation, so bear with them to help identify what EXACTLY is your problem. If you lack that decency, you may forfeit their help, so why did you come here?
Fifth, consider your work flow in light of the purpose of Premiere, an editing package. If you have problems with rotoscoping, programming with APL, spreadsheets in general, word processing on a mobile phone, importing Panda bears into a local zoo, feeding nearly distinct whales in the Alps, or anything far removed from the purpose of PP, you may be better off in posting your question elsewhere.
Last:
Everybody has to learn, has the right to ask questions and be helped.
If everybody has the decency to pose their urgent, life threatening or other questions in a detailed, structured and comprehensible way, it will vastly improve the chances of speedy and helpful replies, without the need for sarcasm, bundles of to-and-fro posts without meaningful help, just wasting bandwidth.
I know I have been rightly accused of such behavior, which was the result of sheer frustration with absolutely meaningless and often pointless questions without details, structure and the like. Maybe this can be a general guideline for posters on how to ask questions, in addition to Eddie's links and How to ask questions the smart way
The most frustrating issues one can encounter are hangs, BSOD's (blue screens of death), system errors and other cases of seemingly random erros that require rebooting, restarting or similar actions, only to be confronted with the next hang, BSOD or system crash.
These errors are often difficult to locate, due to the large variety of systems, components and driver or software versions in use. This is often further aggravated by sheer lack of expertise, understanding of what needs to be communicated in order for others to help solve the issue at hand. And that list is very long.
So, in order to make it a bit simpler for the average user who encounters these problems, follow the following steps when posting a problem:
1. Clearly describe the main problem in the topic, but be brief. Not so brief as to only say: "Help!" or "URGENT" or another meaningless statement but get to the point, like: "PP crashes on opening, requiring a reboot" or "Using DL the system hangs upon return to PP". You get the point.
2. Briefly describe your hardware, software, OS and versions in use, including disk setup, video card and driver versions, etc.
3. Describe source material, including codec (not AVI, which is not a codec), project settings and other relevant info.
4. Describe as accurately as possible what you did, what steps you took, what happened at what moment and what you did to try to resolve it.
5. Go to Start/Run, type in DXDIAG, enter and save all information to a TXT file. Include a link to that file in your post.
6. Go to Start/Run, type in MSINFO32 (or similar for 64 bit OS), enter and save the results as a .NFO file. Include a link to that file in your post.
7. Download Process Explorer , and either post a screen shot or a link to the results.
8. Make a screen shot of the results of SpeedFan or HW Monitor and include that in your post.
When you perform these basic steps, you avoid endless questions about your system and people may be able to help you faster.
If you feel up to it, take a look at The Case of the Unexplained to start your own troubleshooting.
Hope this helps to post more meaningful questions and get an answer much quicker.

Whenever you have a question that you would like answered, do pose that question effectively.
First, do not assume that because you have tried many, many times that your question is understood by someone else. What is obvious to you may not be for another.
