Time Evaluation with multiple time events

Dear Friends,
I have an issue in our current project. Kindly try to help me with a solution.
We are working on Time Management module with Positive Time Recording method and evaluation- India. (Payroll module is not implemented)
My issue is:
Evaluation with multiple time events in a day: In our project, we have a scenario like the employees record multiple clock in and clock out times for one day and are uploaded into infotype 2011. But during time evaluation, only first Time event that is P10 (Clock In) and the last Time event P20 (Clock-out) in a day should be considered for evaluation, ignoring any multiple time entries in between duration in the table TEVEN (Infotype 2011).
Pls let me know how this requirement can be met. Do we need to define any new PCRs or create any functions? If yes, pls tell me the process in detail as I am new and implementing Time management (Positive Time recording with Evaluation) for first time. Try to help me as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
Chiranjeevi

Payroll using time evaluation with clock times

Dear all,
I have configured an employee to have time management status 1, and my company would like to use attendance for time recording instead of time event since our clocking interface cannot provide exact clock times. I have also configured HRSIF to return 1 for all conditions.
I found every thing run correctly after creating the attendance records for all days of a payroll period while all attendance hours are equal to the planned work time. However, I have modified some of the days to attendance hours less than planned working hours (with no exact time inputted), I've noticed that the time evaluation can be processed successfully, but the attendance hours are not being calculated in the payroll result.
Does SAP actually support payroll for attendance with no exact clock time? If yes, what may I miss in my configurations?
Thanks
Steven

Hi,
Thanks for the advice.
For suggestion 1, yes, it can do I want if the attendance hours is actuall equal to the planned working hours. However, say I have a case that the planned working hours is 8, and a workman shows up for 6 hours and take 2 hours leave, the system still require me to enter the clock time in order to get the attendance and absence be calculated.
For suggestion 2, I understand that there's always be way if I do programming, however, my company decided not to do any customization, so I should first find if there's a default solution in SAP.
Thanks.
Steven

Time Capsule with multiple users. Data Safe?

Hi.
I was just wondering if the I use Time Capsule with multiple users (multiple macs) I believe the backups are all seperated and password protected. Am I right?
But what about the migration assistant? Doesn't the migration assistant help you to transfer your data from one mac to your new one without asking for a password? So wouldn't it be easy to use the migration assistant to get data of another time capsul backup?
At the work place of my girlfriend they are using time capsul, and I'm not sure if I would advise her to backup her data to that timecapsule. Ok you can exclude folders, but not the mailaccount.

But isn't it possible to transfer data from an old user account to a new account with a different name? Wouldn't that overide the password prompt?
No more or less than on your Mac.
I mean I understand that if you migrate a user account from one mac to another you wouldn't gain access to the home folder of that user, but as I understood the migration assistant it is possible to migrate data to a folder of your choice. I did not try it yet but that's what I (maybe misunderstood) read here http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/19.html
No. You can select which user accounts to transfer, but you can't transfer one user's data to another.

About +ive Time Mgmt with Clock Time .

Hi SAP-HR Experts .
Plz give me idea about +ive Time Mgmt with Clock Time.

How do i confirm my self that now SAP-HR is running on +ive Time Mgmt with Clock Time.?
Please guide me ...

Hi Rajneesh,
When you run time evaluation through PT60 schema TM00 you will get the following:
1. Clock in and Clock out entry
All recorded time data documenting the actual attendance times or the actual absence times of employees.
Actual time has the opposite meaning of planned working time.
Example:
According to the work schedule, an employee is supposed to work from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on December 3, 1999 (planned working time). The actual time data (actual times) from this day is shown below:
8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Attendance
2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Absence - doctor's appointment
2. SKELETON TIME
skeleton time is a time account in which payment-related times of an employee are managed.
Skeleton time is determined in time evaluation.
Example:
Skeleton time in the standard SAP System consists of:
u2022     Attendance, absence, and off-site work within a contractual period (start and end of working time)
u2022     Overtime hours that exceed approved overtime
u2022     Paid break times
3. FLEXTIME
Working time pattern in which employees can individually determine their own start and end times, as long as a certain number of hours is worked within a defined period of time each day.
*4. FILL TIME
A specific period of working time described in time evaluation that lies within the contractual start and end of working time (excluding breaks).
If an employee works a flextime schedule and is also expected to be at work at certain times (core times), then fill time indicates the difference between the start and end of working time (without breaks) and the core times
5. PRODUCTIVE TIME
The usable working time for a resource. The system determines the productive time using the working time data and utilization rate for the resource as follows:
Productive time = (End of working time - start of working time - break
duration) x Rate of utilization / 100%.
You estimate the downtime at the resource using the utilization rate.
And the results of the following will depend on your settings...
Time evaluation will update the quotas and it will form time balances
I hope this information is enough to understand...for more clarifications revert to me..

Do i need to set up the time capsule airport before i start backing up using time machine with my time capsule?

Do i need to set up the time capsule airport before i start backing up using time machine with my time capsule?

Some setup is generally required.. because the TC is a network device.. not a plug in via usb.. therefore it has to exist somewhere in your network.

the setup time you define can be modeled as procurement time in procurement tab at supplier. Mfg time should be modeled in PPM as the operation lead time.

Time Machine with multiple users on single computer

Hi All,
I have an iMac at home with multiple user log ons. I'm about to get the Time Capsule and start using Time Machine (currently I use backup).
When I switch on Time Machine, does it switch on for all users, or will each user need to turn on Time Machine?
If I have to switch on Time Machine for each user, will each user's time machine back up the entire computer (so I'll have two complete copies on my computer on the external drive)?
If this does occur, can I control what Time Machine backs up so TM only backs up user specific information?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

When you first backup it will backup your whole system (user directories, system directories, applications, etc) unless you specify folders to exclude. When a user account is added to the computer, their home folder will be added to the backup in a similar way to if you added a new application. It will back up the directory structure exactly as it is on your main hard drive. The backup will essentially keep a copy of the whole hard drive on the backup drive.
The Time Machine will either be on for the whole system, or off for the whole system. It is not on or off for a specific user account. Users (depending on if they've got admin privileges) may have control over turning time machine on or off, but this does not change who can access the backups. All users will be able to invoke Time Machine to get to their backed up files.
Time Machine does not make separate backups for individual users. Instead, it preserves the permissions for backed up files, so while every user can access the backups, they cant just browse other users' files on the backup. The same restrictions on the main drive are carried over to the backup. Still, a standard user who's lost a file will be able to go into Time Machine, access a backed up version of the file, and restore it. Unlike standard users who are restricted from seeing other users' files in the backups, Admins are also restricted but they can be authenticated to view other users' files if they want to.

ASO Time balancing with multiple hierarchies

Hello,
I have an Essbase 9.3 ASO cube with multiple hierarchies in the period dimension (set as type = Time), and I'm trying to set one of my Measures to Time Balance Last with SkipMissing.
When I validate the outline, I get:
"This prototype must have all its shared members as siblings of previous sibling."
on all the leaf level members in my period dimension.
any ideas?

We are on Essbase 9.3.0.1 and also tried to use ASO Time balance functions in conjunction with multiple hierarchies enabled.
I recommend you not to use the ASO time balance functions. We did and had to revert everything after complaints from our user base.
If you still use it, please test cases where you retrieve TB Last as well as flow values together with ytd and periodic values.

Time Capsule with Multiple Drive Dock (Current Gen w/ 802.11AC)

I've seen mutliple threads regarding USB hubs, but nothing regarding Hard drive docks.
I have the NexStar HX4 Quad drive bay w/ only 2 drives installed. I partitioned each drive into 500GB partitions (so 2x500GB on one, 4x500GB on the second one) and I'm having issues now with the second drive installed getting the shares to stay reliable. Problem is I don't have a Mac at my house just yet, but I'm working towards that.
What's happening is either one of the drives will drop out or oddly enough it's flipped from one port to another that was empty. I suspect these could be a result of the dock going screwy but I'm not sure. This wasn't a problem until I added my 2TB drive yesterday. I've had to power cycle the TC 4 times and the drive dock 3 times. At one point, the TC was showing the shares to my phone but it was denying access initially, so I did a reboot on my phone and no go. Rebooted the TC and dock and it came back just fine.
Has anyone else used this dock and TC combo or have they tried a multi dock solution? I'm just wanting to get this to straighten out as I do store a lot of data and the reason I chose the TC was because I liked the idea of having some storage inside the thing and I was planning on getting a Mac back then like I am now so it seemed logical.

does the beam forming occur with multiple clients
Yes, but Apple is unclear about how many cients can be connected simultaneously with this feature.
do these clients have to be 802.11ac compatible?
Yes

Time Capsule with multiple computers

Everyone in our office uses macs, and we use time capsules for backing up. It seems that only one person can back up at any given time, so when one user is trying to do a backup, all of the other users have failed backup attempts because the disk is not ready.
I suppose I either need to make sure that people are backing up at different times, or is there another way around this?
Can I tell time machine a specific time I want it to back up or is it always going to be automated?

RangerJoe55 wrote:
Yeah, I posted here kinda hoping to figure out how to do more scheduled type backups instead of the seemingly random ones now.
Time machine will do backups hourly, if your Mac is awake and the destination is available. There are a few exceptions, depending on when the last backup was done, such as after waking from sleep, powering-up, or after a manual backup.
It does seem weird that it won't back up multiple computers at the same time....
It usually does. I don't recall seeing a post where it doesn't.

IT2006 Time Constraint with Multiple Subtypes

My client is utilizing 2 different subtypes in IT2006 for a particular personnel area. The 2 subtypes are vacation (98) and floating holiday (50). Since each employee will have 2 IT2006 for the year - one for subtype 50 and one for subtype 98, their configuration was set up to issue a warning message when the second record is entered with the same date parameters. The problem arises when more than one IT2006 with the same subtype is entered for the same time period - SAP allows you to do this.
Is there any way to set up the time constraint on the subtype so that not more than one can be entered for the same time period? They can change the program to check for the existence of a record for the year, but if there's a way to control this via configuration, please let me know!
Thank you!

That is actually set up correctly. There are 2 types of qabsence quotas, one for vacation and one for holiday. The reaction cannot be an "E" because then an employee could only have one or the other quota, not both. Every employee needs to have both. So the reaction has to stay at a "W" (could also be a "N"). And the subtype constraint needs to stay at a "Z" and not a "T" because checks need to be made with other time infotypes so someone doesnt' try to input 8 hours vacation along with actual working hours.
It's sounding to me like there are no other configuration areas that will remedy this issue and they'll have to check for the existence of a record in the program.
Thanks.

Optimizing order by query with multiple time dimensions

Hello all,
I have two time dimensions, one a standard date dimension (Year,Qtr, Month, Week, Day) the other a user defined Time dimension (All, Hour, Minute, Second).
I am joining my cube with my time dimension using only the 'All' level, so that I can get a single record for the Day level in my Date dimension. Under these circumanstances there aren't many records in my sample data. Less than 100 dates, although at the lowest level(seconds) there are approx 2 million records.
In order to get my results back in order I am ordering by the date dimension day_end_date. The query is taking longer than I would expect given that there aren't many records at the Day Level. How can I ensure that my query is ordering based only on the values in the current day_level and not all day_end_dates values in the underlying cube.

Changed order, speed improved significantly.

Time Machine with Multiple Disk

I wanted to know if it is possible to have multiple time machine disk. I was thinking about have one disk at home, and taking another disk offsite. I was thinking about switching these disc out like once a month or something like that so I always have a copy of my Itunes Library and other important files off site, and also so that I have another backup incase both my Imac hard drive, and my backup drive both stop working at the same time.

Can you "fool" Time Machine into backing up to two separate volumes by giving them the same name?
You wouldn't connect them at the same time... you'd connect one at work during the day and the other at home at night time.
That way one backup (the one at work, say) stores all your changes during the course of the day and then the other one (say at home) backs up all your changes made at night.
They would each, of course, back up all changes made since last connected (for example, as soon as you connect your "home" drive it will automatically back up all the changes you made during the day in one fell swoop, then make incremental backups during the rest of the evening).
PS: I am using SuperDuper right now to clone a TM backup to another drive but I want to be able to use both drives in turn to make incremental backups (once I've completed the clone).

Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE

There's often a bit of confusion about this terminology: +*Time Machine+* vs. +*Time Capsule:+*
_*Time Machine*_ is Apple software that performs backups, to an external HD, a Time Capsule, etc.; and also allows you to browse and restore from them. It comes with Leopard and Snow Leopard, but cannot run on any previous versions of OSX.
A _*Time Capsule*_ is a piece of Apple hardware that combines a wireless router and hard drive, that can be used for Time Machine backups and/or other data.

QUESTIONS
|
_*Q1. How do I set up Time Machine to back up to my Time Capsule?*_
|
First, set up your Time Capsule via +Airport Utility.+ Keep the name you assign to it, your Computer, and your network short (under 25 characters), and avoid embedded spaces, special characters, and punctuation (see item #P1 below for details). Make sure your Mac can connect via an Ethernet cable, if at all possible, as well as wirelessly.
The setup and first backup (of your entire system) will be much faster if you connect via Ethernet.
|
a. If the +Time Machine+ icon isn't already in your Dock, drag it there from your Applications folder. See below for more about it's use.
b. Right-click it and select +Open Time Machine Preferences,+ click the +Show Time Machine status in the menu bar+ box (see below), then click +Select Disk+ (on Leopard, this button will be either +Choose Backup Disk+ or +Change Disk).+
c. A list of possible destinations will appear. It should include your Time Capsule (with the name you gave it via Airport Utility), and may show other internal or external drives as well. Select your Time Capsule and click the +Use for Backup+ button.
d. A prompt for your name and password will appear. In some cases there won't be a Name field, but if there is, enter your short user name. Also enter the password you set up for the Time Capsule via Airport Utility, then click the Connect button.
e. A 120-second countdown to the start of your first backup will appear in the +Next Backup+ area of the TM Preference panel.
|
Note that this first backup will copy the entire contents of your system, except for a few things that are skipped automatically, such as system work files, most caches, your logs, trash, etc., and anything else you may have excluded (see #10 and #11 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). So it will be rather lengthy, depending on how much data is on your system, whether you're connected via Ethernet or WIFI, and if WIFI, how good the signal is.
You can continue to use your Mac while TM is backing-up, and you can even cancel a backup if necessary, but to make this first full backup as fast as possible, try not to overload your Mac or cancel the backup.
|
_*The Time Machine Icons in your Menubar and/or Dock*_
|
In the steps above, you dragged the TM Application's icon into your Dock, and clicked the +Show Time Machine status in the menu bar+ box.
For detailed info about them, see question #24 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
+Go to Top+
_*Q2. How do I set up Time Machine to back up to a USB drive connected to my Time Capsule?*_
|
Mostly the way you set it up to use the Time Capsule's internal HD.
But first, attach the drive directly to your Mac, and erase and format it per the instructions in #5 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum. Note, however, that it doesn't matter whether you use the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ or +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled)+ Format, since Time Machine will put your backups in a sparse bundle that's case-sensitive. You cannot change that.
Unlike the Time Capsule's disk, you can partition the USB drive. That's highly recommended if you're going to be putting other data there, so the backups don't completely fill the disk (but be aware that Time Machine cannot back that "other" data up. See question #Q6 below).
If you're backing-up multiple Macs to the same drive, you can make one partition for each, but it's not as helpful on a network drive, because each Mac's backups will be in a separate sparse bundle. So you can let them share the disk or a partition.
Also note that if you've been doing backups to an external disk connected directly to your Mac, you cannot continue the same set of backups when you connect it to your Time Capsule. They are stored differently, and Time Machine will put them in a sparse bundle, alongside but *completely separate from* the backups made locally, and the first backup will be a full backup of your entire system.
Once the USB disk is set up the way you want it, use the setup procedure in question #Q1 above, but in step (c), select the USB drive/partition, not the Time Capsule's internal HD.
*RAID Sets connected to a Time Capsule:*
|
Time Machine will back up to a +Hardware Mirrored RAID set,+ also called +RAID 1,+ (sold that way, with multiple drives in the same enclosure). However, if you partition the +Hardware Mirrored RAID set,+ once you start using it with TIme Machine, you cannot change the sizes later and continue to back up to the same set of backups.
While you can connect multiple USB drives to a Time Capsule via a USB hub (a powered one is best), Time Machine +*will not+* back up to a +software Mirrored RAID+ set (where you combine the drives into a single volume via Disk Utility).
+Go to Top+
_*Q3. Can I use my Time Capsule for Time Machine backups and other data?*_
|
You can put other data on your Time Capsule's internal HD, but there are three major considerations:
Especially for things like photos and videos, access may be too slow for convenient viewing, and worse for editing. So test this a bit before you decide what to put there.
Time Machine cannot back-up that other data, so you'll need some other method. See question #Q6 below.
Time Machine will, by design, fill up all the space available to it, so there may be a conflict between the sparse bundle it puts your backups in, and the other data. There is a workaround, to "reserve" some space there, by creating a disk image of the desired size and storing your data there, but it's a bit cumbersome, and two Macs can't share it at the same time.
An alternative is to connect a USB drive to your Time Capsule. Then you can back up to the TC's disk and use the USB drive for other data, or vice-versa. But note that Time Machine cannot back-up the USB drive while it's connected to the TC (see question #Q6 below).
If you want to reserve space on the TC's internal disk, here's how:
|
a. Start the +Disk Utility+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Click the +New Image+ icon in the toolbar (or select +File > New > Blank Disk Image+ from the menubar). If the little arrow to the right of the "Save As" box points down, click it so it points up.
b. Give it a name in the "Save as" box. This name will appear on the TC's disk, with ".dmg" appended. (Similar to the way the sparse bundle containing your Time Machine backups appears, with ".sparsebundle" appended).
c. Click your TC in the sidebar. It may take a few moments for Disk Utility to recognize it, and show it in the center pane.
d. In that center pane, select the blue Share folder for your +Time Capsule+ (you may need to scroll down, or enlarge the window, to see it). Once selected, you'll see any existing disk images in the right pane.
e. Give the Image a name. This name will appear on your desktop and/or Finder sidebar when you mount the .dmg by double-clicking it, if you have the +External Disks+ box checked in +Finder > Preferences > General+ or +Finder > Preferences > Sidebar.+
f. Select the Size for the amount of space you want to reserve, either one of the pre-sets or Custom which allows any size. Avoid taking all the remaining space for the disk image, as Time Machine needs a bit of room to operate. Also note that if very little space is left, it will begin deleting old backups very soon, to make room for new ones.
g. Select the desired Format, probably the default of +Mac OS Extended (Journaled).+
h. If you want it encrypted, select the desired type.
i. Select single partition, either GUID or +Apple Partition Map.+
j. Select +Read/Write disk image+ for Image Format.
k. Click the Create button. The larger the image size, the longer this will take.
|
When complete, the new disk image will be automatically mounted on your Mac's desktop, ready to receive the files you want to move into it. (When you first open a disk image, there may not be a sidebar and/or toolbar; if so, select +View > Show Toolbar+ from the Finder menubar.)
To access this disk image from another computer, you must first eject it from this one, since only one can mount it at a time. Otherwise, the other one will see a message that the disk image is "Temporarily unavailable."
Note that you may be able to change the size of the disk image later, via +Images > Resize+ from the Disk Utility menubar (while the disk image is not mounted or selected in Disk Utility's sidebar).
+Go to Top+
_*Q4. My Time Capsule is too small to back-up my Mac(s). Now what?*_
|
You can attach a USB drive to your Time Capsule. Then you can back up to the USB drive instead of the Time Capsule's internal HD. If you have multiple Macs, you can back some up to the TC's internal drive, and others to the USB drive.
If you need even more space, you can connect multiple USB drives via a hub (a powered one is usually best), and back up different Macs to each. What you cannot do, however, is have one Mac's backups continue from the Time Capsule's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, or have the backups for any one Mac "span" two drives.
The exception is, you can connect two (or more) drives that are in a +concatenated RAID+ set (sometimes called +RAID 0).+ In that configuration, all the drives in the set are treated as a single volume (see +Concatenated RAID+ in the Help for Disk Utility for details). This configuration may cause some other difficulties; once they're in a RAID set, you cannot connect any drive to your Mac separately -- it's all or none. And if one drive fails, you risk losing everything on all the drives in the set.
See question #Q2 above for setup instructions for backing-up to the USB drive.
+Go to Top+
_*Q5. Should I delete backups? If so, how?*_
|
It depends on exactly what you want to do, and why.
Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't have to delete anything. TM automatically "thins" (deletes) backups every time it does a new backup, on the following schedule:
"Hourly" backups after 24 hours (except the first of the day, which is a "Daily" backup).
"Daily" backups after a month (except the first of each week, which is a "Weekly" backup.)
"Weekly" backups are kept until TM needs the space for new backups; then one or more of the oldest weeklies will be deleted.
However, TM will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup. So all that's actually deleted are copies of items whose originals were changed or deleted before the next remaining backup.
But if you do need to delete backups, here's how:
To delete individual backups, or all backups of selected item(s), see #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
To delete everything on the Time Capsule's internal HD, use +*Airport Utility.+* Select +*Base Station > Manual Set-Up+* from the Menubar, then Disks in the tool Bar, then Erase.
To delete everything on a connected USB drive/partition, you can delete via the Finder, but that may take a very long time. It may be faster to disconnect it from your Time Capsule, connect it directly to your Mac, and use Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to erase the disk/partition.
To delete all the backups for one Mac, without disturbing anything else on the Time Capsule's internal disk, open the TC via the Finder and delete the sparse bundle associated with that Mac.
To delete all the backups for one Mac, without disturbing anything else on a connected USB drive, either open the USB drive via the Finder and delete the sparse bundle associated with that Mac, or disconnect the drive from the TC, connect it directly to your Mac, and delete the sparse bundle from there.

_*Q6. How do I back-up my Time Capsule and/or attached USB drive(s)?*_
|
That depends to some extent on what you want to back up, and where it is.
It's generally not a good idea to try to back-up your Time Machine backups. If there's a problem with them, it will be copied to (and perhaps magnified on) the copy.
A better solution is probably to use either Time Machine or a different application to make separate, independent backups of your Mac, to a different destination. A portable external hard drive is great for this; you can periodically connect it to your Mac, make a backup, then take it to a secure off-site location, so you're protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines, etc. If you use Time Machine for this, you'll have to use the disk selection process each time you want to switch, via +Time Machine Preferences.+
Many folks use the CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! apps to make "bootable clones" of their internal HD to an external HD. While these usually don't have "archived" copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, you can boot and run your Mac from them if your internal HD fails. Your Mac may run a bit slower, but it will be usable. Both are easily found via Google.
Since Time Machine cannot back up your Time Capsule's internal hard drive, or a USB drive connected to it, if you have other data there, you'll need a different method to back up that other data.
In a pinch, you can disconnect a USB drive from your Time Capsule, attach it to your Mac, and copy or back it up that way.
|
There is a procedure that will let you "archive" the TC's internal disk to a USB drive connected to it.
But it's not quick, since since the data must be read from the TC's internal disk to your Mac, then sent *back through the Time Capsule* to the connected USB drive. And it's "all or nothing" -- you can only use this procedure to copy the entire contents.
All users will be disconnected from both the internal HD and the connected USB disk (but the network will remain usable).
Attach a USB drive with at least as much free space as the total amount of data on the TC's internal HD (see #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum, for formatting instructions).
Turn Time Machine "Off" via +Time Machine Preferences.+ Stop all processes that may be accessing the Time Capsule's disk. If possible, connect your Mac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable -- it will still be slow, but faster than WIFI.
Then follow this Apple procedure: Using AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk.

PROBLEMS

_*P1. The Backup disk image could not be created.*_
|
Oddly enough, Time Machine can be rather picky about the way certain things are named.
Check your +*Computer Name*+ at the top of the System Preferences > Sharing panel.
It must not be blank; it should not be more than 25 characters long; and you should avoid punctuation, spaces, and special characters.
After changing it, click the Edit button and make the corresponding change to the +*Local Hostname.+*
If that doesn't help, apply the same rules to the name of your Time Capsule and Network, via +Airport Utility.+
+Go to Top+
_*P2. Time Machine could not complete the backup .. sparsebundle could not be accessed. (Error 109).*_
|
The sparsebundle containing your backups is corrupted.
Try Repairing it, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
If the sparsebundle is on your Time Capsule's internal HD, and Disk Utility can't fix it, your only option is to delete it (or erase the TC's disk), and let Time Machine start over. You may be able to prevent this from happening again by changing the names per problem #P1 above.
If the sparsebundle is on a USB drive connected to your Time Capsule, and Disk Utility can't fix it, it's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party +Disk Repair+ application, such as +Disk Warrior+ can. (You'll have to connect the drive directly to your Mac.) These are not cheap, and there's no guarantee they can fix it. Be certain whatever you use is compatible with your OS. For Disk Warrior, you need at least version 4.1.1 for Leopard, 4.2 for Snow Leopard.

ESS - Time - Collision with another Time Entry

Dear Sir,
We have an Attendance Maintained (2002) for emp X today.
When we apply for leave on same day (Absence - 2001) through PA30 System over writes the entry.
(Not a problem)
While we apply for leave throught ESS we are getting the error "Collision with another Time Entry" .
Please let us know what all changes are to be done so that the system can accept the absence on same day on which attendance is there.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
1st check the Time constrain for the infoype with help of the HR functional consultant, try to make entry by Tcode PA30 if itu2019s a successfully done.
Check the configuration by "PTARQ" Customizing options.
Check the T-code "PTARQ" in that select "Post Document " in the Post Document selection screen 1st click upon the "Test Run" and then execute see the data is proper or not, Once you clear with the DATA is correct then again Run same report without clicking upon " Test Run" once you done with the posting then check the same by T-code "PA30u201D.
Let me know the details
