The perspective from my Enterprise ...

Kudos to Microsoft for adding the _ - X to the top bar on metro apps. The whole "hot corner" thing was absolutely ridiculous on a desktop computer. More applause for multi-desktop functionality, sticky notes and the like as well.
I thank MS for removing the useless 'A:\' drive as well. Well done on the placement of the power options too.
That being said, I'm not seeing a compelling reason for business to abandon Win 7 in this release. Hopefully in the upcoming releases ...
1) The OS will decide which UI to display based on input devices available. (but the user can choose which opens on their profile) This one's a no-brainer.
2) The ability to embed applications in the desktop. Lync might be a good place to start. User sizing of those apps.
3) Metro office apps will be more robust and usable. Excel and Word in particular ... because that's what we actually use in the office.
4) The choice to not use metro should not be ignored when opening the start menu. No tiles in the menu please. If a user wants tiles, they can just use metro.
5) A 'log off' key in the power options menu. A single place for all connection and power options.
6) Hide the system tray unless the user specifically wants to see it.
7) A configurable search on the task bar. Most users want google.
8) On-board admin tools available to admins only, and when logged in as admin only.
9) The ability to disable the Microsoft Store in Enterprise, where application installation is tightly controlled using tools such as SCCM or LanDesk.
10) If MS is serious about touch screen uptake at the corporate level, dedicate R&D to building a desktop that is actually the top of our office furniture and is touch-enabled. Until we have horizontal touch devices in front of us paired with vertical
displays, touch will not be used in the office environment. The vertical displays would be nifty with faint outlines to indicate our current hand placement. Vertical touch is a non-starter, and so are horizontal display screens. Both would
create an inordinate number of worker's comp issues.
Win 10 appears to be just a minor revision to Win 8.1, update 1 as it stands now. Businesses world wide have ignored Win 8 for a reason, and those reasons are still in Win 10. Enterprise will be ready for touch screen when it becomes something
that can actually be used in business. Until then, metro is just unnecessary and distracting fluff.
Anyway, thanks for letting me state my two cents worth.

We dismissed the use of Windows 8* in our workplace almost immediately upon reviewing it a couple of years ago, so we've never had to adjust our GPO's to disable the apps store and such. My apologies for requesting features that we could already control,
as we've never been forced to control this with Windows 7. You are correct, disabling the apps store was an easy add in our GPOs.
I have an 8.1 U1 machine at home, but used powershell to uninstall all the metro apps in order to make it useful. This strategy seems to work on 10 as well, as long as users aren't re-installing the apps on their machines.
As far as the admin tools, we already have all our users using 'standard' logins using AD groups and GPOs. We're just requesting that the tools not be visible without local admin privileges. Our users are, for the most part, not power users.
Once again though, we are looking for a viable upgrade path from Win 7, and just aren't seeing a compelling reason in this OS.

The report could not be opned from BusinessObjects Enterprise.

The following is the error message that I am getting.
The report could not be opned from BusinessObjects Enterprise.
Possibly the report is on a different BusinessObjects Enterprise system that the one you are currently logged on to. If this problem persists, pelase contact your administrator.
I am at a different location. All I am trying is to access the report using crystal reports 11.
The port issue was solved. I can login to the server and see the list of all the reports, but when I started clicking each report, I am getting the above error.
Let me know if there is any soultion to this.
Thanks

Edited by: xavier on Jul 28, 2009 4:59 PM

initially the port number 1725 (i mean the default crystal report port number) was blocked. so i was getting the error
"transport error: communication failture"
but after they opened it up I was able to login to the report folders, but couldnt go foward beyond that.
so you are saying, they will have to open up more ports?
Thanks,

Retrieve the link from Bookmark of Report view on Enterprise Poral

Hi All,
We are running the BEx queries on Enterprise Portal. When I try to Bookmark a particular View of the query it says:
"Bookmark 4XX9XXYJF84229XXQF2TBAZZD saved".
If at a later stage I want to run the same view of the report, from where can I retrieve the 'Link' of this Bookmark (considering I did not save the link initially).
I tried to T-code 'RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG', but that does not give me the link.
Regards,
Shreyas.

Please take a look at the FAQ for Portal.It has a section on the same topic.

For some reason I am unable to load the updates from the App Store for ever notes. When I try to, I am told I am already on a new version, which in fact is not the case. Anyone else with exposure to this? I have also written to Evernote and App Store

Check your purchase history and see what shows? Check to see if your Apple ID has had any pw changes recently and if it is still registered as before. I found some unsual anomolies is this area where and Apple ID fail off the radar screen apparently and then reappeared and that was for I Tunes. I am having the same problem with App Store as I did a recent wipe of my Mac OSX hard drive and I Pad 2. Initially it appeared a gap in records, so where are the other apps i know i purchased, then with I Tunes, restrictions around ability to download music on my Mac, which I had been doing all year, and transfer to I Pad 2 or I Phone, which i had been doing all year long as wll. The I Tunes matter has gotten better, but I've engaged Express Support, Contacted Store, and others, have not received a definte explanation yet
From an App Store perspective, I noticed at least 50% discrepancy verus what I have bought and what they had showing. Again, some i think will be linked to the disappearing and reappearing Apple ID which i can only assume is a sporadic database issue, but quite stratling and problematic if you need your apps restored quicly.
I have a similar configuration, plus had Lion Server, have not reinstalled server yet, awaiting stabiliztion of OSX, but i think that may have some relevance to the location of a variety of the elusive content, but only a hunch at this point.
There are a number of virus elements which have not been picked up consistently. Some operating as bots within a platform where they actually take charge of certain activites and it becomes a struggle to rid them. I am using Kaspersaky Universal One which has helped some we had over 17 threats in 1 hour yesterday, but they diffused them. I've got so many odd issues happening now like downloads directed to the wrong folders for major loads to typing locking up on both blue tooth and usb but i notice a quick switch makes a difference. Hint Hint, so i feel like I am in the Bermuda Triangle right now with so many strange things happeining including the post below about Evernote, same here. Pay close attention to Virus, Malware, and check your log files for unusual activities and and also watch your key chains closley for any attacks. Some of the problems i have encountered actually involve activities taking place within sttps: sessions, so I think a number of things are going on that require an intense focus from the user, Apple Tech and Security and outside resources, because it is becoming more widespread and even though I believe some can be explained relative to user error and lack of familierity, some cannot as the timing and acceleration is to coincendental in my humble opionion. Hope these areas to look for offer some resolution for you as well as some insight into other areas that could be problematic if not closley monitored.

I think not the question, but "What is your issue"? Afraid to learn the truth of today's reality of Cyber threats and to give other community users the the benefits of such or too just mimize my response as a "wandering rant" ?
I'm actually going to take the high road on this one "for the most part" in contrast to the response you provided to me which reflects your seemingly low road mentallity and lack of appreciation for a new member simply trying to add some value based on recent and current real world experience:
1) I am a new community member and inadvertently may have submitted a response to a problem i saw versus submitting a question; however, i quickly noted that point.
2) I selected Mac OSX 10.7.3 Lion, Lion Server and other products ( that's right, i do own Apple products) for their resiliency to virus, malware, and for their peformance, design and reputation. I still believe I made the right decison.
However, I take exception to your inherent criticism and vailed insults on behalf of myself and the large number of excellent Apple Support representatives, many Sr. Advisors, and External Virus/Malware experts engaged, at the suggestion of Apple and others to help resolve my system issues.
Downloading of Apps from AppStore, I Tunes, and Evernotes were in one way or another impacted by these virus, malware and hacker activites. To the credit of Apple, i have not found a single fradulent transaction, however the trouble makers had broader objectives which have caused problems and easily could many others both consumer and enterprise class. Given ongoing criminal investigation, l'll keep those particlualrs confined
If you actually took time to read my "rant" versus simply belittiling and criticizing my sincere efforts to help somone else you would see there are some meaningful points to take into consideration. You want the post removed, feel free, it only shows to further reflect your naivety and lack of consideration for others unless it suits your myopic and narrow minded perspective to the real cyber threats we all "can" face. Even selecting Mac arguably one of the very best platforms, still does not afford you the flexibiity to assume you or your company, as in my case, is immune.
If i told you the specifics, of course, it would clearly be beyond your comprehension as your mind is obviously too closed to even consider the thought let alone understand the intricacies of their tools and tactics. Write to the Wall Street, NY Times, you suggest; please, you simply bury your self further in the sand by haphazardly suggesting such a foolish idea. Just another petty attempt to diminish the threat and again show your lack of respect for a quality company and organizaton as Apple who is aggressively working to address my concerns and plan for the next product release without giving up IP and wasting time answering to the media when there is real work to be done industry wide.
In contrast, I will let Apple to what Apple does best...get it or still not ?? See, they have seen for a long time what you clearly don't, and that is that no system is ever perfect. That is why Mountain Lion will have a NextGen Firewall & associated tools a.k.a Cyber Castle, which has been under development for sometime and reviewed by industry experts before release so as usual Apple will do their very best to get it right and will again be advanced in many ways ahead of the pack.
So, i've wasted too much important time trying to open your eyes to reallity. When you wake up in the morning, remove your head from the sand and wipe the grains from your eyes, have a read of this....oh, and don't bother responding or apologizing. As you said, it's not worth your time to hear from me; in contrast, I felt it was worth my time to keep you from misleading others by your lack of respect for the real Cyber threats we face and that any system designed can be penetrated if the bad guys want in bad enough. Time to get real Sand-man.....

Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

Hi Guys,
We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
SAP EP with AD Authentication
SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
Let me know if this is at all possible

Hi,
You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
Thanks,
Muhammad

I've Made the Switch (from iWeb) & Lived to Tell About It.

I've gotten a lot of help and useful information from this forum over the years and I will certainly miss it. I've just completed a 2 month transition where I've migrated my site from iWeb/Mobile Me to a new site made in RapidWeaver and hosted by Host Excellence. I figured I'd write a little (or a lot) about my experience, to give some others an idea of what they've got to look forward too. Hopefully it will arm you with some things to do and look out for. While I am describing RapidWeaver here, a lot of this process will be the same no matter what new software you use. I started off being pretty happy with what I had going in iWeb and not being thrilled at all about making the switch. Now I am so glad I made the switch and I am far happier about the new site than I was with the old one. BTW: the new sites address is: http://grillinsmokin.net . Feel free to visit. I think you'll quickly notice some things you simple can't do in iWeb. This isn't a knock against iWeb. I was very happy with iWeb and had no plans to switch. Where it hasn't been developed actively for four years now, it has been left behind somewhat.
To begin at the beginning: I've had a site made with iWeb since January of 2006 called Grillin' & Smokin' that combined my love of outdoor cooking and photography. Over the years it had grown rather large, with 375 photo entry pages and 230 blog pages. The Domain file was around 1.4 GB. This was not something I ever wanted to have to recreate from scratch. However losing MobileMe as a host was taking away Value Added features like the Hit Counter, Slide Show, Blog Comments, Blog Search etc. The handwriting is on the wall for iWeb too. I might have gone on using iWeb, but between losing key features and the fact iWeb was starting to show it's age, it was time for me to move on. Just before the iCloud announcement this Spring, I began researching website building software. I looked at their features, working methodology, themes, plug-ins and extensions. I download trial versions of the software where it was available as well as some of the themes or plugins I might be using. I gotta tell you, at first I was very frustrated and upset, because I was not finding anything that had the ease of use of iWeb and looked like it was going to be able to recreate the appearance of my original site. It appeared to be a series of compromises. I'd like the features of one package but I hated the themes available for that software. Another looked promising but isn't being upgraded regularly. My biggest frustration was some of the iWeb page types just don't exist in other packages. For example the Album Pages where multiple Photo Pages can be grouped and displayed, don't have a direct equivalent in any other package I saw. As part of my discovery process I read reviews of the various packages, including head to head comparisons of some of them. I also visited their discussion forums. After doing this for 3 weeks I "settled" on RapidWeaver. It was under active development; had a thriving developer community turning out a wide variety of add ons, plug-ins and themes; had an active user community & had lots of help resources available. The web pages it produced were standards compliant and you could get nice effects without resorting to Flash. I think the biggest selling point was all of the add-ons-kind of the same advantage the iPhone has with it's App Store.
Once I bought RapidWeaver & a 3rd Party theme, I tried the demo versions of some of the plug-ins and made sample versions of my page types from iWeb in RapidWeaver. I wanted to have a process in place, before I started mass production on the site. You really do need to do some of this homework in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises. The biggest minus I'd turned up about RapidWeaver (RW from this point on) is it didn't handle big sites well at all. The equivalent of the iWeb Domain file is the RapidWeaver Sandwich file or RWSW file. Once the RWSW file reaches 100MB or so you can get crashes or hangs uploading your site. Now 100 MB doesn't sound like much particularly when I was talking about a 1.4GB iWeb Domain File for my site, but RW doesn't include the photos in the RWSW file. Still I knew I was going to have to divide my site across several RWSW files. Initially the plan was to divide it into 3 sites: The main landing pages was one RWSW file and is the site reached by the url for the site. I was going to have a second RWSW file for my blogs and a third for my photos. Ultimately I ended up dividing the photos into 3 RWSW files. These extra files are hosted on sub-domians whose name goes in front of the main domain (http://sub-domain.main-domain.com). This meant some extra setup for me with my web-host, although they made the setup for the 4 sub-domains very easy and they were free. If you have a huge site and will need to split it, you'll want to check with your prospective web host if they charge extra for hosting additional sub-domains. For small iWebs sites this is not an issue-you have one RWSW file and one web address, just like you do now. My having sub-domains also meant more work linking files together across sites. RapidWeaver has something called an Offsite Page which helped with some of this, but having to split my sites up was the biggest PITA for me about the whole process. But knowing about this going in was better than finding out at the end when I tried to upload a single massive site. If you have a small site, the setup for uploading it is as straight forward as iWeb. RW has a built in FTP uploader or you can publish to file and use an FTP client like CyberDuck.
Once I had my site organization in place and had experimented with best practices for recreating each iWeb page type in RW, it was time to begin. I've gotta tell you when I started out I was not a happy camper. I liked the iWeb way of doing things about 70 percent of the time vs 30 percent for RW. At the end of the first week I told myself I have to move on and give up on the past. I was no longer going to be using iWeb and the sooner I embraced the RW way of doing things, the better off I'd be. At this early point it was still hard to see down the road to the end results. No matter what new package you buy, you should try to go with the flow and learn a new way of working. You'll be happier and less frustrated in the end. In my case after having gone through the entire process now, I've ended up changing my opinion. Now that I've gone through the entire process, I like the RapidWeaver way of doing things about 95 percent of the time and 5% for iWeb. That 5 percent is mostly the large site issue I've described. As I began working I was able to reuse much of the text from my iWeb blog in RW. I did have to paste it in as unformatted and reformat it in RW. My pictures were well organized in Aperture which also helped speed the process. One of the things I did is automate some of the tedious repetitious tasks. I created Quickeys macros to do things for me when ever possible. For example I could go to a particular photo page in iWeb and select the first caption. I would then trigger a macro that asked how many captions are on this page. It would then select the caption in iWeb, copy it, switch to RW and paste it in place and repeat XX times. If you know Quickeys or Applescript (I am guessing) there are plenty of opportunities to put it to good use.
RW present a different way of working than you are used to in iWeb and you'll just need to get used to it. What I am describing here would be true of any of the other packages I looked at too. First off it isn't WYSIWYG while you are editing. You are working with fairly basic looking text with few clues as to what the real page looks like. You switch to a preview mode to see what the page looks like in a browser. At first blush iWeb seems to win here. But what I soon realized is RW allows you to mix regular text and pictures together with html snippets right in the same text box. This makes adding counters or badges easy. Plus you can use HTML formatting for things like Titles occurring through your page. Instead of increasing the font size, making the text bold and changing its color, you can simply say this is Heading style 2 or 5 and this happens automatically per the predefined style. Better yet if you change a style everything on that one page or the entire site (your choice) inherits that change. So by working in a non-WYSIWYG mode you gain some long term. advantages over how iWeb works. The same is true with positioning. In iWeb it is fast and easy to place things on a page right down to the pixel. RW just doesn't give you that type of precision and next to splitting my site, layout was my biggest frustration with RW. At least to start. But there is a good reason for this "lack of precision" that may not be apparent until you view the site in a browser. When iWeb came out, you really didn't zoom your browser. iWeb uses Absolute Positioning where it uses anchored boxes for everything, whereas RW uses Relative Positioning. Objects with anchored text or picture boxes like iWeb start having problems if you zoom in or out more than one step. Text starts over flowing other text because the text boxes are anchored by one point. Pages just start looking scary if you try to zoom in or out too much. RW is looking at items relative positions and their relationships with one another. So initially you aren't placing the objects in the same way, it is more like eyeballing things in a way. But when viewed in a web browser you can zoom in or out to your heart's content. So what seems at first like a big disadvantage at first for RW, is actually a HUGE advantage.
This is why you need to go with the flow and try to embrace the new way of working. I mentioned earlier that I wasn't able to find a page type that was equivalent to the iWeb album page. I was able to use a very flexible plug-in for RW called stacks, which allows you to create various single and multi-column or multi-row layouts using empty stacks. You then populate the empty stacks with content, pictures text etc. These pages were not like iWeb albums where you nest the Photo Album Pages in the Album page and they create a skimmable preview and an automatic link to the album. Once I actually started making these new "Album" Pages in RW I realized I was gaining as much or more than I was loosing. The skimmable preview pictures was eyecandy I could live without. Nice touch, not essential. I never liked the way the preview picture shown on the Album page was the first photo in the Photo album. You couldn't change this. Now that I am placing my own photo on the Album page, I could use any picture and make it any size I wanted too. In iWeb the Album Caption was the name of the Photo Page. If this name was too long the caption didn't go to a second line, it got cut off. Any link in RW can have a description added to the link which is what you see in the yellow box when you hover your mouse over the item being linked. I used to hide text boxes links under the pictures on the Albums page for SEO and navigation help. So yes now I have to manually link the Album picture to the Photo Page, but I am no longer creating a hidden text box with a link that I have to remember to move when I add pages to the album. So once again my first impression was wrong. Advantage RW.
Another advantage to RW is any page type can have a sidebar. You can easily add favicons and site logos. You can easily add metadata to any page and customized the names of the path to your pages. The Themes can be more powerful and customizable too. About one week into the process I was begining to really go with the flow and see this new way of working had far more advantages for me than disadvantages.
By the time I finished my new RW site, my iWeb site was looking tired and dated. My biggest and most pleasant surprises were saved until the end. Any kind of SEO was a PITA with iWeb. You had to embed snippets on each page with a code from HaloScan or Google Analytics. Problem was, iWeb erased any such HTML code while you were uploading. So you then had to use a regular expression in the text box ("HaloScan goes here"), upload your site and replace the regular expression with the actual code using a 3rd party tool. Oh and don't do that on any blog page where you are using the built in Apple commenting system because the comments will disappear. I also had problems where the new comment badge would not show up for weeks or months after a comment was made. It was getting so the things I had to do AFTER I uploaded my site to MobileMe were taking longer than uploading the site. Once the site was recreated, it was time to add blog comments, a guestbook, a contact form, Google Analytics, and publish a site map. In my iWeb-influenced mind, I was saving the fussy PITA things for last. I was dead wrong. Unlike what you go through with iWeb, it couldn't have been been easier in RW:
-Blog Comments: Set up an account with the provider. Then I had to go into the page setup in RW for my blog page and click on a popup menu of comment providers & select Discus. If your provider isn't listed you paste some HTML code from the provider into a dialogue box provided by RW for the blog page. In my case it was simpler, just set Discus in the popup menu. Now instead of the iWeb badge showing me new posts (and only when it was in the mood), I now get an email.
-Google Analytics: Set up an account with Google. Go to the Stats area in the RW side bar, click on Configure, paste in your code from Google and you are good to go. You can monitor your Google analytics stats right from within RapidWeaver. (Also works this way for GoSquared Live Stats).
-Guestbook: Same as iWeb. You add a page with an HTML snippet from your Guestbook provider in an iFrame.
-Contact Form: This is a RW page type which masks your email address from the spambots by transferring the information to an invisible and inaccessible page within your site. This page then emails you the information.
-Full Site Search: This doesn't exist in iWeb. You can search your blogs right now, but this is one of the features you lose when MobileMe shuts down. By adding an inexpensive Plug in called RapidSearch Pro I enable full site search. You set up a MySQL server for your site. Host Excellence walked me through the 4-Step Process via a well written Help File. You then control what pages are indexed via your sitemap.xml file. You let RapidSearch Pro index your site and you are good to go.
-SiteMap: There is a simple SiteMap generation feature built into RW 5. There are third party tools for doing this for iWeb. I purchased an inexpensive RW plug in called SiteMap plus that not only generates the sitemap.xml file, it allows you to customize what pages get searched and at what frequency. This ties into what is searched via RapidSearch Pro. This plug-in also generates a visible and customizable sitemap page to help your site's users find their way around. Another bonus of being hosted off Mobile Me is when I went to add my sites to my Google account they had already been indexed. It seemed like they never crawled MobileMe unless you told them you wanted them to look at your site.
Link Checking: This doesn't exist in iWeb. I bought another inexpensive plug-in called Link Inspector for RW. It checks all of your internal and external links and generates a report showing the status of all links. This was just what the doctor ordered for my large site. I will run it periodically to make sure external links are still working and that I haven't broken any internal links.
My site was pretty much wrapped up on Monday August 8th. I just had to add in Blog Comments, Google Analytics, the Guestbook, Full Site Search and the Site Map. I figured I would go public on Tuesday or Wednesday. To my great pleasure these 5 items took all of 2 hours to get set up and working. This was a nice touch after 2 months of hard work.
So there you have it. This is the process I went through converting my site over to RapidWeaver. Your mileage may vary. I am not pushing RapidWeaver for everyone. You have to find what program is the right fit for you. You may find staying with iWeb on a new host is the right fit for you. You need to decide if you can live with the features you lose once you aren't hosted on Mobile Me. For me there was great pain, but in the end there was a lot of gain too. I do like my new site and I feel it will serve me well for years to come. Good luck to all of you in whatever path you choose. Lastly thanks one last time to the helpful folks around here

Thanks Roddy. I agree with your take on some of the other software you mentioned, at least from the perspective of having dabbled with demo versions of some of the others. I will add that with Sandvox I felt a little nervous about it. Kind of almost like the software was a "hobby" effort a la the first gen Apple TV.
I also agree with some of your points regarding RapidWeaver. But now that I've built my rather large (for a hobbyist site) website with it I will have to respectfully disagree about it being at the same level as iWeb, or as you put it: a sideways move. While iWeb can be made to do things it was never originally meant to do, there are many places it simply can't go that RapidWeaver can. I was often hitting the limits of what you could do in iWeb, whereas with RapidWeaver, with one exception, I didn't feel like I was running up against any limits yet. The exception is it's lack of ability to handle large sites well. That was almost the deal breaker for me. I find it unexplainable that a software package with all kinds of add-ons helping you make more ambitious sites, can't handle those same sites in a single file. This was almost a deal-breaker for me. For folks who have small to medium sized iWeb sites this isn't a concern. There are also ways to warehouse images on the server to keep file size down, but this gets more complex than many folks coming from iWeb would want to do. Me splitting my site up the way I did was more work than I wanted to do.I almost bagged the whole thing and was close to just taking the old site down.
Now if we were to fantasize for a minute I can think of a way where I could also say iWeb to RapiWeaver is a sideways move: While I don't think iWeb '09 is the equal to RapidWeaver 5, I'd bet that iWeb 11 or the oft rumored iWeb Pro might have been. I kept hoping that Apple would keep pushing the limits of what iWeb could do and add in some missing features and head down the HTML 5 road.
I will conditionally agree on your saying that the shopping list for RapidWeaver can be substantial. I will qualify that by saying: Depending on what you are doing with it, your shopping list for RapidWeaver can be substantial. With one exception, I do think the base package of RapidWeaver is fairly priced. I think the basic Stacks functionality and a few basic stacks should be part of RapidWeaver. The more esoteric stacks can be pay as you go. When iLife 11 was announced without a an update to iWeb, I did some preliminary pricing and I was rather discouraged at the total. This spring I got more serious about things and repriced RapidWeaver and add-ons. After trying out various themes and plug-ins, I was able to sharpen my pencil and reduce the cost of entry considerably. One of the things that helped is the theme I bought had a couple features built into it. It had a nice lightbox type slideshow for photo pages and animated banners/headers capabilities built in. This saved me the expense of several additional plug-ins. Also while I have a blog, I don't consider myself a blogger. I was able to use the built in blog page and I don't feel limited by it at all. Some of the other ad-ons I bought: such as the link checker, site wide search and a more sophisticated sitemap generator were items I added because I could tell I would want to keep the site going long term. Those 3 plug-ins did that a a low price. I didn't think they needed to be built in.
But everyone's mileage may vary. RapidWeaver or any other web design program isn't right for every iWeb user. It all depends on personal needs, abilities and budgets. I'm just glad I can get back to posting to the site and not recreating it.

502 error in sending the request from F5 to SAP PORTAL

Hi All,
I face a problem in NW04S SP13 Level:
I have my Production and Development landscape where I get an HTTP Request from a Oblix Server and pass it to SAP ENTERPRISE PORTAL through F5.
In my Development Landsacpe this request is process by SAP PORTAL
but in my Production landscape it Intermittently fails.
The Only difference between my Production and Development landscape is I have multiple portal instances in my Production where as I have a single instance in my Dev.
When in my Dev landscape I login to portal and Open a ESS - Benefits application it works fine but in the Production Landscape it throws 502 ERROR.
I tried Routing the HTTP Request from my Dev Environment's F5 to Production Environments Portal, and even then it throws error Intermittently.
But If I Pass the request from my Production Environment's F5 to Development Environments Portal it works perfectly fine.
What might be the issue?
Any Idea? Your help is really appreciated.

How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

Hi,
I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
Regards,
Mutyapu

You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

How to restrict the user(Schema) from deleting the data from a table

Hi All,
I have scenario here.
I want to know how to restrict a user(Schema) from deleting the values from a table created in the same schema.
Below is the example.
I have created a table employee in abc schema which has two values.
EMPLOYEE
ABC
XYZ
In the above scenario the abc user can only fire select query on the EMPLOYEE table.
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE;
He should not be able to use any other DML commands on that table.
If he uses then Insufficient privileges error should be thrown.
Can anyone please help me out on this.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you please elaborate on how to add policies for a table for just firing a select DML statement on table.See the SQL Packages and Types manual first. It has examples. You can also search the web for examples. This is sometimes called "Virtual Private Database" or VPD.
If you have problems, post a specific question here. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements to create a table as it exists before the policies go into effect, the PL/SQL code to create the policies, and additonal DML statements that will be affected by the policies. Show what the table should contain after each of those DML statements.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using. Confirm that you have Enterprise Edition.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
The basic idea behind row-level security is that it generates a string that is automatically added to SELECT and/or DML statement WHERE clauses. For example, if user ABC is only allowed to query a table on Sunday, then you might write a function that returns the string
USER != 'ABC'
OR      TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') = 'SUN'So whenever any user says
SELECT *
FROM    table_x
;what actually runs is:
SELECT *
FROM    table_x
WHERE   USER != 'ABC'
OR      TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') = 'SUN'
;If you want to prevent any user from deleting rows, then the policy function can return just this string
0 = 1Then, if somone says
DELETE employee
;what actually gets run is
DELETE employee
WHERE   0 = 1
;No error will be raised, but no rows will be deleted.
Once again, it would be simpler, more efficient, more robust and easier to maintain if you just created the table in a different schema, and not give DELETE privileges.
Edited by: Frank Kulash on Nov 2, 2012 10:26 AM
I just saw the previous response, which makes some additional good points (e.g., a user can always TRUNCATE his own tables). ALso, if user ABC applies a security policy to the table, then user ABC can also remove the policy, so if you really want to prevent user ABC from deleting rows, no matter how hard the user tries, then you need to create the policies in a different schema. If you're creating things in a different schema, then you might as well create the table in a different schema.

Getting an error while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer

Hi,
   I am facing a issue while importing/exporting the universe from my BO Designer to the Server.The error is mentioned below.
   'File Repository Server Input is down'
   Once I click the OK button on this error message, it displays the message
   'Could not import the Universe'.
I tried the check the status of the File Repository Server (Ouput and Input) and also the of the Root Directory on the Physical Server and also my machine.They all have read-write access.
Installed Version of the Universe Designer Client: Business Object XI Release 2 SP3
Installed Version of the BO Enterprise Server: Business Object XI Release 2 SP2
Can you please help me to resolve the issue

Hi,
   The step you have mentioned may not be applicable to my issue as one of my colleagues can import/export the universe from the same server
The second thing is that a DB2 Client v9 is installed on both mine and my colleagues system.The Designer software can recognise the DB2 drivers on his system but it cannot recognise the same drivers on my system.I even checked the versions of the BO software installed on his and my system and they are same.
The only difference is that his machine is a Windows XP Machine and mine is a Network Desktop.
Will any of the above two things will affect the operation of the BO Designer.
Thanks

Error while deriving the currency from table T001P.

Hi Friends,
I am trying to run payroll for NZ using schema NZ00 but i am getting an error stating "Error while deriving the currency from table T001P. Error during initialization of Payroll"
I have checked V_T001P, V_T001 and have deleted the personnel area and subarea and again created it but still i am unable to solve this problem.
Could you please help me as to where this error can be corrected.
Thanks,
Manj

About the incidence, the problem might be related to the links between
personnel area, company code and currency set up (table T001P, T500P and
T001).
Please check the following points:
1- Have you assigned the Personnel area to the Company code under SPRO -
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Human Resource Management
-> Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code.
2- SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Admin -> Basic Settings ->
Determine Currencies (Public Sector Currency Need to be maintained along
with the other node).
3- SPRO- Personnel Management -> Personnel Admin -> Payroll Data ->
Basic Pay -> Define Hourly Rates for several decimal places. (Please
maintain all the nodes).
4- Maintaining the table t500c through transaction code OE00.
