Trapped by the completely useless Modification Assistant !!!!!!!

Hi all you SAP gurus
Some background....
Our system SAP r/3 4.7
We have a number of SAP screens we have modified to include functionality for Quick Address. The modifications were a couple of extra screen elements and a bit of code. This allows the user to populate address information via "Quick Address" into the sap address screen. This worked fine until the latest SAP support pack (SAPKB62070) amended the screens in question (Function Group SZA1 screens 0201 and 0301). The result of the support pack was that our bespoke code was replaced by the newly modified SPack code and screen changes. Modifcation assistant was on.
The problem....
So we thought, easy, all we have to do is re-apply our bespoke code to the now changed screens. However, the Modification Assistant had decided that that's not going to happen !. The Modification Assistant refused to allow any editing of the screens at all. So we checked SPAU and found entries for SZA1 screens 0201 and 0301. We accepted the modifications for these objects in SPAU which created a  transport request. The entries in SPAU were cleared and we got the green tick. The Mofication Assistant proudly anounced modifications were now possible, Horray !
But No ! All the Modification Assistant had done was replace the support pack changes with the old code, it had lied, the objects were still unmodifiable. Now we had old unmodifiable code.
To fix this we used the version control to put the support pack changes back in. This worked, however, the entry in SPAU for these onbjects now returned so the Modification assistant now refuses to allow changes to the screens and code.
We are now in the fabled "Modification Assistant Loop of Death !" We cant modify because there are entries for these objects in SPAU. If we sort theses out it puts old code back in and we still cant modify anything. If we restore the correct version a new entry is created in SPAU preventing any further modification.
And No....
We can't switch Moddifcation Assistant off for this object, It won't let us (so don't suggest that and expect any points !!!!)
My general perception of Modification Assistant....
A good idea, but appallingly implemented by SAP, it it is very far from "assisting"  anybody.
Cheers,
Hugh "I do not like Modification Assistant" Gemmell

Another issue with shuffle:
3 - The podcasts are not taken into account
That's because Podcasts are set to "Skip on shuffle". If you really wish to change that behaviour, in iTunes select the Podcast episode and choose *Get Info/Options* and turn off the tick-in-the-box for *Skip when shuffling.* Then Sync the iPod to make the changes on the iPod as well. (Skip on shuffle is the default and most Podcast listeners prefer it that way.)
Thanks, I wasn't aware of this option set by default. Don't see the point of having this option set as default... podcasts are not in the same spot by default... Anyway I know now what to do to shuffle my music and podcasts

I'm not sure I've understood your first post, about the shuffle feature. Are you doing this in iTunes or on your iPod? (Not that it should make any difference, they should work the same way.) If I have my iPod set to shuffle albums and I start the iPod playing at (for instance) track 3 of "an album", then it should play track 3, then 4 then 5 and so on to the last track of that album. It will not play tracks 1 or 2 from that album. Then it will start at track 1 of "another" album, at random and usually by another artist and play it from track 1 through to the last track. Are you expecting another album _by the same artist_ to be chosen at random? If so, try going into the menu as follows: *Main/Artist/<artist name>/(play).*
I am playing the songs on my computer, either the mac or the pc. When I set "shuffle by albums" I would expect iTunes to randomly choose an album in my library and then randomly play the songs of the album. I don't want it to pick the first song all the time and play the other ones in order.

  • Permanently disabling Modification Assistant

    Hi everybody.
    Is there a way I can permanently disable the Modification Assistant for every custom development object I ever modify ?
    The Modification Assistant is extremely annoying and the project has other means of dealing with change management.
    The main issue Im facing is that everytime I use Find & Replace in a program, the Modification Assistant is switched on automatically for every include that is modified using Find & Replace. This also means that the next time I want to use Find & Replace, the includes with Modification Assistant switched on can not be modified until I switch it off, as they are locked.
    Is there a way I can completely disable this annoying tool for custom development ? Or at least make sure it never gets switched on once I switch it off for an include.
    Thanks for any hints,
    Stano

    I should have researched the problem a bit more.
    It turned out the includes were a copy of SAP standard and had the source system in TADIR still 'SAP', so a quick mass change of source system was all that was necessary.

  • Modification assistant vs without modification assistant

    Hello All,
    Can any one explain what is the difference between them?
    Thanks,
    Vibha

    hi
    <b>Modifications With the Modification Assistant</b>
    If the object has not been adjusted in transaction SPAU, a traffic light appears in front of the object. In the Modification Browser these objects are highlighted. When using Reset to original the active version on the database is confirmed as the new original version. The object remains unchanged. Only the modification data is deleted. When using Modification adjustment the version imported in the last upgrade or Support Package is saved in the modification logs as original. In addition, there are the modifications from the adjustment. The Modification Browser (transaction SE95) gives an overview of these modifications.
    If the object has been adjusted, in SPAU either a green checkmark or a stop sign appears in front of the object. If an adjusted object is reset to original, the active version is replaced by the original version saved in the modification logs. The modifications made using the Modification Assistant are lost when you Reset to original.
    You can use Reset to original in the category With Modification Assistant also for objects that are contained in note corrections.
    Already adjusted data elements cannot be reset to the original version. Edit the data element in the ABAP Dictionary to restore the desired status. You can make use of the version administration to do this.
    <b>Modifications Without Modification Assistant, Translations, Migration Objects</b>
    If the object appears in the tree in one of the categories Without Modification Assistant, Translations or Migration Objects, always the active version becomes the original version when you use Reset to original. The modification log is deleted, independent of whether the object has been adjusted or not. The object itself remains unchanged. If the object has been adjusted, the user gets a warning message. Unlike with objects supported by the Modification Assistant, the original version no longer exists. The modified active version is confirmed as original version.

  • RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
    IT DOESN'T WORK
    I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    Hi Kvoter,
    What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
    *''' it should be able to do that'''
    * my firefox does that
    I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
    I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
    * the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
    *the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
    If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
    Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.

  • How can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and,ade the mistle of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless.  Feel like I have been robbed

    how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless.  Feel like I have been robbed

    There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
    Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
    Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.

  • Adobe Download Assistant appears to be completely useless

    I'm just trying to get a trial of CS5.5, and when it launches, it asks me to sign in. I do that, and then the sign in button, and the box just stays greyed out. It doesn't appear to be downloading anything.
    When I try to close, it still won't go away, so I always end up having to force quit. Do I really need to resort to using pixelmator?

    I have been trying to get mine to work for 4 days. I have spent 5+ hours installing, un-installing, and re-installing all of the necessary applications and programs. If someone has an answer to this question that is not found on the support/troubleshooting I would be delighted. I have had no luck in finding an acceptable answer, I mostly just keep getting referred to the troubleshooting pages and support forums, which have given me nothing. I feel like I am going around in circles. My brower downloads other programs perfectly fine, so there is obviously no error on my end. Thanks Adobe, for wasting my time and computer space with your useless Download Assistant. I have not heard one positive comment on the new Download Assistant.

  • How to change the code w/o modification assistant

    We have a scenario, where in we developed our programs on Projekt-test system.
    Now that the development is done, all the requests were migrated to actual Projekt system through transport of copies.
    Now when i try to change the code in actual projekt system's development system i cannot change it without modification assistant.
    I heard there is some Program and when we run it it changes the source system of the object to the current system on which it is running / some configurations.

    Thanks and Regards.

  • Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

    Hi,
    My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
    Please help.

    The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

    To modfy the std programs SAP has provided the Modification assistant to clearly indicate the modification process(like Insert/delete with numbers).
    Once you switched off it, you can't make it switch on .
    once it gives the complete code accessable(SWITCH OFF), then it won't make it to ON again.

  • File adapter fails to pickup the complete file

    Hi Guys,
    I have a file to idoc scenario configured.
    Sender is an FTP server and the file type is XML
    Here are the details of my file adapter
    FTP Connection parameters,
    Connect Mode      : Permanently
    Transfer Mode     : Binary
    Processing parameters,
    QoS     : Exactly Once
    Poll Interval     : 15 secs
    Processing Mode     : Archive
    Most of the time my scenario works perfectly fine.
    And sometimes my file adapter fails to pickup the complete xml file and my scenario fails.
    The file is read partially and my mapping throws an error.
    Am i missing any parameter to be set in File adapter???
    Thanks in Advance,
    BBnu

    >>The file is read partially and my mapping throws an error.
    Thats the normal behaviour of XI,if you get a partial file,you will get a error message.
    There are several work arounds for this,first of all have a script independant of XI which is running on FTP server,this script will keep on checking for modifications in file and once the file is completely written,it will rename the file to some other extension(for e.g .dat) and XI file adapter will only pick .dat file,this will make sure that only complete files are picked up.
    Second option is to have a tag all the way in the end of XML which says EOF(of any other character),in your mesage mappin create the root node of target only if this last tag is EOF.Since in incomplete file you will not have this last tag,message processing will stop.
    Thanx

  • Measurement and Automation explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly.

    I am having difficulties getting Labview to work with my NI card.  I have a PCI_6225 card running on a Win 7 64-bit install.  I had to download all of the drivers and installers from the NI site and during the Labview install, I recieve a prompt asking for my hardware drivers.  Since I only have the compressed hardware installer, Labview doesn't like what it sees and continues the installation of LABVIEW.  I then attempt to open an analog input channel through the Instrument I/O Assistant which displays the error seen in the image attached.  
    I know the hardware works because in the Measurement and Automation client, I am able to observe the analog input I hope to collect in LABVIEW.  
    Is there a fix to get LABVIEW working?  I have tried multple installs of LABVIEW and am on a administered computer through my University's IT people.  I have 'full admin' rights.  Thanks.

    Hello jbaxter,
    When you download the Drivers from NI's website, make sure you unzip them (extract them) to a folder on your computer before you install them. If you use the NI Downloader it should prompt you to unzip and run the files after the download is complete. You need to either repair, or reinstall DAQmx and NI VISA. Make sure you download the latest versions of these first:
     http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/global/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/1//en/...
    Then go to Control Panel»Programs and Features»National Instruments Software and click Uninstall/Change then go to DAQmx and NI-VISA and click Repair. You can then point to folder that you downloaded from NI's website (make sure this is not a zip folder, but the folder that has been extracted). Or you could choose Remove, and then reinstall them both again. Also if you are using GPIB, reinstall or repair the NI-488.2 driver.
