The importance of RTFM

Hi All
I find that in most cases people fail to do things just because they did not RTFM. The documents are there for us to read, I know sometimes it's annoying to read 50 pages of installation manual but believe you me...once you read it, it becomes easier for you not only to understand but also to implement what is in that document. I have found that reading documents is really helpful and everyone should do it. Posting a thread just to get quick answers from the forum will not help you at all.
So before you post anything to the forum please follow these simple steps:
1. RTFM
2. RTFM
3. RTFM
If the above steps fail, then you can post your thread in this forum.
Note: I was also the victim of not reading documents but I have now learned the IMPORTANCE OF RTFM. The information is always there, we just have to learn to read, read and read.

PS: The docs, just like the database, change from version to version so read the docs for your version and if you still have questions be sure to post the version number in your inquiry.
Thanks.

  • What are the important views or field in vendors master record

    All,
    We are converting two different companies into our SAP.  We are at blue printing stage.  I was assigned to gather vendor master data requirements in SAP.  I sent them all the fields that we are currently using in SAP.  I sent them a template of General, Company code data and purchasing views.  The legacy team is coming to meet with our it team one to one to discuss the importance of the fields.  Now my team manager asked us to submit a presentation about all the questions we should be asking the legacy team as well as the important information we should be discussing from SAP point of view.  Can someone guide me here please.  It's important.  
    Thanks,

    Hi The task is pretty simple. You would need to create a mapping from the legacy data to SAP data. You would go through every field of the legacy data and identify which field it will map to. there is nothing like important field. Ideally you would get all the fields. Identify the recon account that the vendors should go to.
    Hope this helps
    Points will be appreciated.

  • I have tried loading 3 different cds that I just bought into Itunes and I click the import cd button and it goes through the motions of importing the cds, but when I go to my library none of these cds is there.  Help, please!

    I have tried loading 3 different cds that I recently purchased into Itunes.  I click the import cd button and Itunes goes through the motion of copying and importing the cds, but the songs are not in my music library.  I have searched everywhere to find where these cds might be, but to no avail.  Could really use some help here.  Never used to have this problem.

    Are they in the relevant artist & album folders when you look via Windows Explorer. If so something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • I'm using Firefox with Ubuntu 11.04 and the Import and Backup-button cannot be found in the Library-window as instructed, how can I enable this particular feature on Ubuntu 11.04?

    The import and backup-button is, however, where it's supposed to be on Ubuntu 10.10.

    Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

  • I imported an existing form but I do not want to save it to the cloud but save locally. How do I change the imported file that is saved on the Cloud to storing locally?

    Hi urs.boeschenstein,
    Files are automatically saved to your online account when you use the Acrobat.com online services. However, you can most certainly download the files to your computer, by selecting them at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, and then clicking the Download icon.
    Are you having additional issues with your subscription?

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

  • How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

    The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
    Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
    You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
    Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
    Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
    In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
    Now you can either
    remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
    or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

  • Iphoto crashed after "successful import" but during the "finishing import" stage - i had selected to delete the imported photos on my phone...iphoto crashed after 90% of the photos had been deleted. Now i can't see any of the photos on iphoto

    Hi guys, I was importing about 5000 photos from my phone onto my computer. it said the import was successful but did i want to delete or keep the photos on the original device. I opted to delete photos. The photos started to count down as they deleted and the computer said "finishing import". Once it had deleted down to about 600 photos iphoto simply disappeared, and a message popped up to say it had crashed. I opted to reopen iphoto and saw that not one of the photos had imported! Not only that but now all the photos have been deleted from my phone. I'm really upset if i've lost the last year of photos/ videos....does anyone know what has happened/ if i can recover them?
    thanks so much in advance x

    Not sure where you got those ideas - simply import your photos and keep the rather than deleting - then after a successful import and at least one back up cycle you can format the card if you want or you can do what I do and keep the photos moving to a new card when that one is full giving you yet another backup - if problems occurs then trouble shoot them - no need to trouble shoot if there is no problem
    ad personally I find removing the card and plugging it into my card reader is faster and easier than finding the USB cable and hooking it up, turning on the camera, verifying that tty e battery is charged, etc - and it eliminates a point of failure in the USB cable  and the chance of the camera battery running out - but that is clearly a personal choice
    You are overthinking this - it is simple
    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • When I click on the "import all" button when downloading my photos I get a message that states that the format is unrecognizable.  What caused this and how do I change it so I can import my photos?

    I am trying to download photos from my digital camera.  I have done this many times before with this same camera; however this time when I click the "import all" button I get a message that states that the format is unrecognizable.  It doesn't specify what the format is. 
    What is causing this and how do I correct it?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • How can I import all of my bookmarks and not just some of the like the import tab does?

    I tried to import my bookmarks but it took only a few bookmarks and left most of my list behind. I tried the import from IE many times and get the same result so how can I get all my bookmarks moved over?

    If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML: From File
    See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
