The Elephant In The Room...

So, I assume the question has to be asked:  With the acquisition of Business Objects, what is the future of the (many) other BI front-ends within SAP?  BEx, reports, Visual Composer, xMII, and so on.

The acquisition is not complete yet and will not be done till Q1 2008, till then there will not be any official roadmap from SAP on this.
Even after the acquisition is complete I dont think there will be any tight integration with NW BI tools till next major release of BI. I think Visual Composer within NW CE will still have a future as it provides tighter integration with other SAP components also. It will be interesting to see the future of Report Designer.
Thanks.

  • Syncing iPhone and Mac and the room needed on iPhone

    Evening Forum
    is it me or when syncing my iPhone do i notice that the room needed to swap stuff over is used in a strange way?
    for example [and its not exact i know so go with my sizes here], my 32GB iphone has say 30GB left after apps and other things, if i transfer 20GB of music and associated stuff, i have 10GB left. If now i sync a few weeks later with another 28GB of music, as my mac would tell me, despite my thinking that the iphone would know that off coems 20Gb and on goes 28GB, it cant handle that. its seems to need a certain amount of space actually on the i[hone outside of the music being taken off and the music being put on, to actually do the swap.
    anyone else found this? whats the exact reason for it? whats it doing?
    even if some of those tracks being swappped were the same, thus the tracks not needed to be taken off, surely the iphone should know this. It takes long enough to think about it?

  • Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

    Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

  • Possible to change the room laout (Navigation)

    I just succesfully created a coll. room in which it is possible for peple to discuss and upload docs. Now is it possible to change:
    - The navigation: Edit names and place em in the second level navigation
    - Is it possible to customize the documents part to my needs, like add more folders, put in some opening text and color. This is all pretty standard and i want to use this to develop a customized one. So:Can i import this in NWDS or sommit?!
    Additionaly: when you would make a page for your customers that should be exactly like they wish, but has great similarity to existing collaboration tools. Would you then:
    - Use the existing collaboration and customize.
    - Create an own application
    Is it possible to download these kind of applications from others?

    Hi Hans,
              Yes. It is possible. You can change layout of room.
    Create custom layout for your need. And assign this layout to particular room.
    Follow the given steps to change layout of the room.
    System Adminstration -> KM Content
    You can see list of folders in content area.
    room extensions - > cm stores -> documents -> workspaces.
    There you can see one or more folders named as 'documents'. Find your folder and change the layout of that folder. It will help to you.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    My computer has been spontaneously restarting itself.  This last time I wasn't even at the keyboard, I was across the room.  I don't know what to make of it, completely baffled.  I'd love some help on this, and if it could come in layman's terms I'd love it even more.

    Hi ...

    If the Mac freezes, it may be a preference setting.
    Check System Preferences > Energy Saver
    See if Restart automatically if the computer freezes is selected. If it is, deselect that box.

  • I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely.

    I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.

    Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

    But when I create a new meeting request, I add myself as an Attendee for testing purposes. When I select the room from the rooms button. It adds the room mailbox [email protected] to the attendee list.

  • I want to buy a wireless headset for my iPad that will allow me to lissen to a video while blocking out any other sounds in the room yet is comfortable. I do not have any experience with headsets so I do not know what to expect.

    I want to buy a wireless Bluetooth headset for my iPad that will allow me to listen to a video while blocking out any other sound in the room. I tried a philips 6000 earplugs but it was not good at blocking out sound. Can anyone give me some suggestions. I see lots advertised but do not know which one to chose.

    Take a look at HeadRoom (headphone.com). It's a fabulous resource for all types of headphones, with great guides and useful reviews.

  • Why is my WiFi connection dropping as soon as I walk out of the room where my router is located? Running OSX 10.6.8

    Why is my WiFi connection dropping as soon as I walk out of the room where my router is located? Running OSX 10.6.8
    Had ISP provider here multiple times. They switched out the router/modem on 4 occasions. They ran new fiber optic cables to my house. They sent a PC tech here with a Mac, and he was able to get a strong wireless connection, but mine, he said, was "weak."
    I called Apple support. They had me remove the battery and clear the PRAM. It didn't help.
    There's no point in having a wireless connection if I cannot walk 20 feet away from the router without losing the connection.
    Do I need a new Airport Extreme card?
    How much would it cost to get one, and what is the process of getting it installed? (no longer under warranty)
    Deb Goonan

    My ISP replaced my router FOUR times. I don't think that's the problem.
    We already tried chanign the channel multiple times, channels 1, 6, 11 and even 9 and 4
    No luck

  • Collaboration rooms not showing up in the rooms tab after patch 34 upgrade

    Hi,
    We recently upgrade our EP6 SP2 Patch 5 CM Patch 5 Hotfix 4 to Patch 34.
    After the patch 34, we do not see our collaboration rooms in the rooms tab. We can access the rooms from the email generated when we created the room, but when we go to rooms tab we do not see any rooms in the list.
    Any help would be a great help
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    this <i>sounds</i> like the behaviour when TREX is used for the room overview (and the index isn't complete when calling the iView). From SAP notes (877937), this on SP2 should be the case from P3<b>5</b> on. I had P33 and moved directly to P35, so I cannot say if the note may be wrong and this was eventually introduced with P34. At least, check the settings. See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4e9442c22d1131e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for details.
    Hope it helps

  • Fios install service to all the rooms in your house

    We have been fios customers for 9 Months now and Originally had just two boxes activated... Now we have decided to add a box to our daughters bedroom.. I ordered the box  set it up and activated it and nothing... Called Verizon and got the answer there is no service in that room.... NO SERVICE!  I have had a previous service through directv and no matter where you go the box installed they made sure that you could have a box in all rooms standard.  So basically  all the rooms in my house have service but one...  Simply hooking a wire to an outlet can't possibly be that hard.  The solution I was given was that I had to PAY ( I already pay 175.00 a month for service)  to have a technician come and hook the wire up...  That is 79 for the tech and 54 for a cable wire I can buy at Bestbuy for 8 bucks.... Im a little peeved.  Not to mention that the underside of our house that is used for storage of our belongings  like a basement.  It is covered in white wire that the previous tech left laying all over our stuff and the ground.. That's  right  didn't staple a dang wire up.  We cannot get into the space with out weaving through a web of wires.  As much as I like Fios... I am a little disappointed in the customer service I received..  Like a shoulder shrug.,... If  they had just told us from the begining  I would have had boxes put in every room to get service hooked up in the whole house.  Anyone else have this happen to them...??? Needless to say  I can't pay 140 bucks for my child to watch cartoons on occasion.  I didn't mind the 5.99 a month.. So I am sending the box back and they will lose out on their money because they didn't do what they should have to begin with..

    mcginnmom,
    "My contract expires in December after which I will leave for Brighthouse!"
    I just switched from Brighthouse because of the frequent disruptions of picture and sound, just like described in the Verizon commercials. Of course, not every BH customer experiences that problem. Just the ones with crappy wiring between them and the head end (like me). And if you have that problem, you can forget about complaining about it; didn't work for me.
    I do experience some problems with Verizon that didn't happen on BH, like recording dropouts (black screen and no sound for several seconds). But so far I'm still better off. Knock wood.
    If you do switch, ask for a Samsung DVR if your local BH office has them. It's got 40 hours HD recording capability instead of the usual 20.

  • How to get the room id & user id in our component

    Hi Experts,
    Collaboration -> Rooms -> Room Directory
    It will show the available rooms
    Select restricted room tab in that.
    That will show the restricted room list, if you are not a member of the room you can request the room by clicking context menu of the room and select the “Request Membership” option. Then it will send the mail to the owner of the room.
    In that UI commend they mapped with the roomid and userid.
    I need to know how to get the room id & user id in our component.
    How to get the Room Id dynamically?
    Can anybody help me for this?
    Helpful answers will appreciate.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Kathiresan,
    you can get the Room ID and the User ID over the API.
    Getting User ID within WebDynpro application:
    IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
    String logonId = user.getUniqueId();
    Getting User ID within custom Portal Component:
    IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) httpRequest;
    IUser user = request.getUser();
    String logonId = user.getUniqueId();
    Getting Room Id of a user who belongs to this room:
    IUser user = request.getUser();
    IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID);
    IRoom[] myRooms = roomsAPI.getAllRoomsForUser(user);
    String roomId = "";
    for (int i=0; i<myRooms.length; i++) {
      IRoom room = myRooms<i>;
      if (room.getName.equals('nameOfRoomToFind')) {

  • I want a quiet drive that does not light up the room

    I need a quiet drive that does no light up the room. I use my imac as a media center and the last thing I want is a blue light lighting up the room.
    Many have recommended the drives from OWC as quiet, but they have the blue light.
    What about the ones from Lacie, Western Digital or any other recommendations?

  • Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've  an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

    Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've  an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.
