Technical name for a lower 3rd? (off topic)

This is a bit of a random question, but I remember reading/hearing before a technical term for a lower 3rd. I totally forgot what it was, think it might've started with a T :S. I think it was a term used for a graphic that would go behind the text in a lower 3rd. Anyone have any ideas? It's suddenly been nagging on my mind lol.

And back a hundred years ago, we called them title cards. There was a time when you had to get all your titles (main, lower thirds, subtitles etc) hot pressed white on black, on heavy glossy card stock. These went to the optical house, who put them on the animation stand and shot the proper length plus some, so that either a negative matcher could cut them into c and d rolls (a and b being pix negative rolls) or they could be incorporated into the optical workflow-- sandwiched in the printer with the negative for more complicated processes. You had to know beforehand what the workflow was, so you could shoot interpositives, negatives, internegatives or the ok but very short lived CRI process. All in all, in intensive, expensive process.
Here endeth today's history lesson.
Aside: today everyone whines because their instantly generated text doesn't seem right. Ugh.

Technical names for drop down values through webui

Hi All, I have ECC 6.0 (SAPKH61705) transactions being launched in CRM 7.0 (SAPKU71305) through the transaction launcher. We are able to display technical names for values in ECC through the gui, and in CRM in both the gui and webui. Is it possible to display the technical names for ECC through the webui? Apologies if this is not the correct forum, I was not sure where to post. For further clarification of the issue, I hope these screen shots assist: ECC gui with 'display technical names' activated: qui - tech names on.jpg CRM webUI with 'display technical names' activated in both ECC and CRM: webui - tech names not visible.jpg Assistance appreciated.

Hi Amy,
Yes, it's possible.
You can achieve it by coding. Instead of passing only the description to your drop down values, we can send technical name and description simultaneously to your drop down value. That's it.

Hi,
Create a View on tables RSZCOMPDIR and RSZCOMPIC and take fields INFOCUBE,COMPID and keep join condition
1) RSZCOMPDIR-COMPUID = RSZCOMPIC-COMPUID.
2) RSZCOMPDIR-COMPUID = RSZELTDIR-ELTUID.
and keep condition RSZELTDIR-DEFTP = 'REP'.

Authorization check on technical name for statistical key figures

Dear experts,
I need an authorization check on the technical name for statistical key figures. I would like to avoid that local users can change/modify centrally defined key figures which follow a given naming convention.
I checked the authorization object K_KA03 for statistical key figures but this doesn't help as it only checks controlling area and activity. I also couldn't find the technical name as an authorization field.
What can I do to set up an authorization check on the technical name of the statistical key figure if it is not foreseen in the standard?
Thanks for any ideas,
René

Try something in similar lines as suggested in below link:

Inputting technical name for varaints in portal makes it viewable to all

Hello all, we are BI 7.0 using Portal for reporting
This is the issue I am facing, when an user is trying to save a varaint for any particular query it asks for description and technical name. Now if the user only enters description and not tech name still the system accepts it and it works fine. If user inputs both the fields still it works fine. But now the difference is that if the user has entered technical name than that varaint can be viewed by all the users kind off like global variant for everyone; and if the user only inputs description than only the user that created the varaint can see it.
So i just want to take away the technical name box from that screen; where/which template do I need to modify? I am using 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN for reporting.
Is there any other work around for this or information that i am missing and i am seeing such behavior can someone explain.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers first of all.
I don't want to store the technical name of the openhub in the logical file name....i want this to be determined dynamically, depending on the openhub that is used with this logical file name.
I was wondering were i can fetch the openhub technical name during the execution of the DTP on the openhub / when also the function module FILE_GET_NAME is being ran.
Let me know!
Thanks in advance!

Technical name for formula in query designer

Hi,
We have created some formulas in Query Designer.
We tried to assign the technical names to these existing formulas, it goes away as the save button on the top of the pop up is disabled.
Is there a way to assign technical names of the formulas created in the query designer.
Regards,
Charu

Charu Pandey,
Formulas are local, means available for particular queries only. No technical name.
Create Calculated keyfigures instead of formulas..., so you can save with technical names.
To display technical name in query, give discription same as technical name.
Hope it Helps

Display Technical Names for al users

Hi
My requirement is: Every user should able to see SAP Technical Names after he/she login. What is the global parameter we need setup and where? Normally individual user can setup by selecting Extras -> Settings --> Technical Names On
Thank you,
Mohan

Hi,
those settings are stored in table AGR_DATEU where ID = 'BROWSER_OPT' and UNAME is user name. I don't know about any global parameter. There are two FMs PRGN_SET_BROWSER_OPTIONS_USER and PRGN_GET_BROWSER_OPTIONS_USER which you can use to write a report which will set this parameter to all users.
Cheers

wll you might have missed to get my point, lemme give you an example:
in your validator,After getting your view Iterator
for(Row row:iter1.getAllRowsInRange){   \\here iter1 is your view iterator
if(valueEnteredByuser.equalIgnoreCase(row.getAttribute("col1").toString())){   \\here col1 is your attribute that contains the value and valueEnteredByuser is the value entered by user
      throw new validatorException(new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,"Data Exists"));
}let me know if you need some other help :)

Find query technical name for a deleted query/workbook in the User Menu

Hi,
When a BEx workbook or BEx query is published in a role, people with that role will see the query / workbook in their user menu.
It is possible to change the caption/title of the 'node' in the user menu so it does not necessarily have the same name as the report.
I am now in a situation where a user tries to run a query/workbook from the user menu, and runs in an error message 'query does not exist on server'.
How can I found out to which query/workbook a node in the user menu refers?
I have tried the Metadata repository but because of the many nodes in the user menu this is a laborious task.
I was hoping to find a table where I could use the role name and node name to find the 'target' report but I haven't been able to find such a table.
Any (other) suggestions?
Many thanks,
Jan.

Hi,
You can publish the workbook to the role and as user have access to the role he can access the workbook also.

Kams

I cant seem to figure it out. I want to create a contrast for my titles without using drop shadow. i prefer a dark, semi transparent row going behind the title. was easy to create in FCP7 but cant do it with X.

Use a generator. Put it underneath the title. Crop it. Set the color and opactity how you like.

Technical names are appearing in OVS pop-up for buttons.

HI Experts,
I have used OVS help in my application, I have deployed and tested it on local WAS where everything works fine.
But, when i access it from portal deployed on staging server, the OVS popup window shows technical names for buttons e.g for Go it shows "view.MainView.gr.c.tc.goSearch.text", same is for Exit button.
Could you please tell me where can be mistake and what are corrective measures?
regards,
abhijeet

Hi,
You will need to open an OSS message for the same under BC-WD-JAV-RUN component. This is an issue with the NW WAS version that you are running. You can find a similar issue [here|OVS - Buttons without correct label].

Hi there
The reason the x is there is because RoboHelp can't find this topic. That's also why you can't edit or display it. From RoboHelp's perspective, it knows a topic was there, but it's since likely been deleted or renamed behind RoboHelp's back.
If you changed the name, did you do it from inside RoboHelp or from Windows Explorer? Often things break when you don't do them from inside RoboHelp.
Cheers... Rick

Query Designer: Technical names activated as default

Hello everybody!
I work with the Query Designer v3.5. How can I switch on the technical names automatically. At the moment I must click on the menu item.
Regards, Thomas

Thomas,
The Technical Names icon is an on/off option. Once you turn it on it stays on til you hit it again.
This applies in the Query Designer, dialogue box for Open - Queries & Workbooks etc.

While saving Bex query with Technical name, it says Query already existing

Hi,
I am facing a problem. While saving a query withy its technical name (for example ZQYZMPR_01), it says that query is already existing. But when I search for the query in all tabs like Favourites, Roles, Infoprovider It is not found.
I also checked a view V_REP_JOIN. In this view I find Query (ZQYZMPR_01) in MODIFIED version.
I want to use my previous query instead of creating new one.
Suggest, how can I retrieve my previous query that I am unable to search for.

Saurabh
Searching with descriptions may lead to confusion as there may be similar descriptions to a query but just one technical name. Check the query 'where used list' you may find answers.
Can you check the query in RSZCOMPDIR ? If the query exist here, it must be there in the system. Do the search with exact technical name ZQYZMPR_01 or ZQYZMPR*, you should be able to find. Do not search in specific areas like roles etc..search directly by inputting the tech. name.
Ferdinando - you can delete the query in RSZDELETE transaction. While doing so, it will prompt for removal from all areas like roles, workbooks etc. Say 'yes' and delete, you will be able to assign the technical name to another query.
