Urgent Warning About Third-Party Batteries!

Canon, Nikon, Sony, and other companies are starting to put code in their camera firmware that locks out third-party batteries in their cameras and chargers. So do not update your firmware if you are already using third-party batteries in your camera. Obviously, these changes make the third-party batteries that Best Buy carries in their stores as well as via part-search/marketplace useless, so Best Buy needs to work on carrying more manufacturer-made camera batteries in their stores as I've noticed that there are many cameras that Best Buy sells or have recently sold which have no batteries available in their stores or only have third-party equivalents available in the stock.

Hi LexMachine,
Thanks for the information, and if accurate it could be concerning for people currently using these batteries. I have also just stuck with the manufacturer's batteries, but can't say I haven't been tempted by the less costly third party substitutions.
Can I ask where you are getting this information? Is there a link(s) you can provide? Not saying it's not accurate, but would like to verify this information.
Thanks,

Adding menu entry to "About Third Party Plug-Ins..."

I am trying to find the language-independent identifier for the "About Third Party Plug-Ins..." menu in the Help menu but I can't seem to find it. Can someone help me find the identifier so that I can add my plug-in's about menu item entry to it? Here is the code that I am currently using, and I understand that I would need to modify it slightly to add it to the submenu:
AVMenu HelpMenu = NULL;AVMenuItem AboutItem = NULL;
AVMenubar TheMenubar = AVAppGetMenubar ();
ExecProcPtr = ASCallbackCreateProto (AVExecuteProc, &ExecProc);
CompEnabledProcPtr = ASCallbackCreateProto (AVComputeEnabledProc,
     &ComputeEnabledProc);
CompMarkedProcPtr = ASCallbackCreateProto (AVComputeMarkedProc,
     &ComputeMarkedProc);
HelpMenu = AVMenubarAcquireMenuByName (TheMenubar, "Help");
if (HelpMenu) {
     AboutItem = AVMenuItemNew ("About S4i Express Annotate Plugin", "ABDE:S4IXPAPExpressAnnotate", NULL,
     false, NO_SHORTCUT, 0, NULL, gExtensionID);     if (AboutItem == NULL) {
     AVAlertNote ("Unable to create Express Menu Item, not loading.");
     return false;     }     AVMenuItemSetExecuteProc (AboutItem, ExecProcPtr, NULL);     AVMenuItemSetComputeEnabledProc (AboutItem,          CompEnabledProcPtr,NULL);
     AVMenuItemSetComputeMarkedProc (AboutItem,
          CompMarkedProcPtr,NULL);
     AVMenuAddMenuItem (HelpMenu, AboutItem, 1);     AVMenuRelease (HelpMenu);}
Thank you for all your help!

Use the Plugin Wizard to create it for you...
However, I see a MAJOR PROBLEM with the code that you posted.
You are using Adobe's developer extension ("ABDE:S4IXPAPExpressAnnotate") and NOT your own. You need to register your own extension and use that for your plugin(s).

Third party batteries- Nexen, Newer Tech, others?

Do any users of third party batteries, such as Nexen, Newer Tech, Battery Technologoes (among others) have opinions to share? Some of these batteries are billed as holding a bigger charge and capable of more cycles than the original, as well as being cheaper. I'll be getting replacement batteries for both an iBook G4 and a Macbook Pro soon, so the price tags and purported enhanced endurance/longevity of these parts caught my attention.

Hey Mousewife and others:
I bought a Newer Power battery, 5000 mAhn. After calibration (it took two charge/discharge cycles before the full capacity was reached), the battery shows 5000 mAhn on the Coconut Battery program. With my typical usage (Powerpoint, Word, Excel, Safari, Mail, Adobe Creative Suite) the battery has been lasting more than four hours, which is a major upgrade over my original Apple battery. Only time will tell how long this level of perfomance lasts, but so far I am very pleased. The outward appearance and fit of the battery are pretty much indistinguishable from the original, and the cost was actually $10 less than a replacement Apple battery. So far, so good. I will still keep my old battery as a backup and secondary power source for the long plane trips I have to take from time to time.

Third Party Batteries

My iBook needs a new battery. I notice that there are people who sell third-party iBook batteries that claim to have longer life than the Apple one. Anybody have experience with these, or know of potential problems?
The Apple store battery listings are SO vague. It's really unclear whether they work for both G4 and G3 iBooks. I assume they do, but they never TELL you, which is highly annoying (and makes me not want to buy it direct from Apple in any case).

John,
I bought a third-party iBook battery from Other World Computing. It's supposed to have about a 50% more juice in allowed in it.
It works very well, and I noticed that it doesn't exactly match the white on my iBook G4, but more so the iBook Dual-USB's finish. The difference is that on the iBook G4, the plastic is solid white colored. On the iBook G3 models, the plastic is clear, and painted white on the inside. The battery is like the latter. So that's good for you and your Dual-USB iBook.
As for the iBook batteries in the Apple Store working for both iBook G4's and iBook G3's, I don't know. Sorry.

Doubt about third party process

Hello SD Consultants.
Recently i joined in a company...so here we implement third party process.. My colleague has implemented third party process.
here he has done...va01...me21n...migo...miro and vfo1......but when i take coaching they dint say about migo in third party...so
friends please help me..what is the relevance of migo here...we are not receiving any goods from vendor...so whats the use...
Thanking you

Dear K. Ram
MIGO - goods recipt, MIRO - invoice verification.
Third party process sales order > PR > P.O > MIRO > Invoice (delivery done by vendor to customer)
Individual purchase order (IPO) sales order > PR > P.O > MIGO > MIRO > Invoice (delivery done by vendor to company n then to customer).
You are right concept wise. Ask ur friend or team leader and try to have a discussion on business process.
Also check the Item category group is BANS (Material master), Item category TAS (Sales order) for third party .
If it is showing BANC, TAB. It is IPO as mentioned above and u have been disguised with business process explanation from your friend/ seniors or they din't understand the process.
You can discuss n debate , also raise a point of reducing the master data by eliminating migo transaction in third party.
This is what been taught to us too.

Confusion about third-party-libraries in different versions in CE 71.

Hi
After some research on the use of different versions of third-party-libraries in SAP netweaver CE 7.1, I am actually quite confused and would be happy if someone could shed a light on that subject....
1. Is there a way to tell netweaver CE 7.1 to use a library in my WEB-INFlib-folder by simple configuration?
E.g. we would like to use a third-party-lib in a newer version than the one which is loaded by CE 7.1. Many application server provide a simple configuration option (e.g inside META-INFapplication.xml) where the web as can be forced to use the library inside WEB-INFlib for this application.
2.Is the concept of "heavy loading" described in a blog by Georgi Danov(Using Hibernate in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment) the answer to question 1.?
Does it also work for other third-party-libraries than hibernate? Does it work at all?
3. In the blog mentioned in question 2, Mr. Danov is talking about "shared libraries". Does this mean, that I have to forget everything about "bundled" and "standard" libraries explained in help.sap.com/CE, if I want to create a heavy loader?
He is referencing another blog (Applications and shared libraries) which is two years old? Can I still apply the information there to CE?
4. Are "Bundled libraries" applicable when using different versions of third-party-libraries in CE 7.1?
In "Working with libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm) it says:
"Bundled libraries: These provide resources only to a single enterprise application, and are packed inside the application's EAR file."
=>As I want to provide the lib only to my enterprise application, I will probably have to create a bundled library, right? Does this also work if netweaver CE 7.1 uses a different version of the same library?
5. Do I need Netweaver Developer Studio for creating "bundled" libraries?
Or can I copy the binaries in the WEB-INFlib-folder of my application, deploy it and use it?
6. Is configuration of application-j2ee-engine.xml the right place to reference a third-party-library in a specific version which exists in WEB-INF/lib-folder in my application even if it exists also in another version on netweaver?
=> In the document "Troubleshooting: Finding Missing Parent-Child Relations" it says: "To implement the chain of parent-child relations in the deployment descriptor of the component, use either application-j2ee-engine.xml (for applications) or provider.xml (for libraries and services)."
=> "Creating standard libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f447a8d62b0484e10000000a155369/frameset.htm9 tells me, that I have to configure the file application-j2ee-engine.xml, too.
=> But in "Working with libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm) it says:
"Standard libraries: These provide resources to all enterprise applications deployed on the server. They are packed in EAR files like the enterprise applications."
=> Does this mean, that I have to force Netweaver CE 7.1 to use a higher version of a certain third-party-library? Does this even work? Do all applications deployed on Netweaver 7.1 have to use this library in the higher version?
It is really confusing to read through the documentation!!! Sorry for that avalanche of questions, but I really hope it will make the issue of using libraries (especially if they exist in different versions on the CE 7.1) a little clearer!
Best regards
Bettina

Hi Bettina,
I'll try to answer your questions:

First of all, the appropriate docs are here: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm].
Basically what you do is define a lib project in the studio and deploy it do the server. This may be less comfortable then just configuring manually, therefore it work better in larger environments because the server checks that libs are available in all running instances - which it could not do if you manipulate diretories manually (an approach you should never attempt in any SAP envrionment)

If Georgi describes it, I hope so, as he is one of our developers who knows best.

"shared" are all of theses libs, as otherwise they would be specific to an application.

This was about anearly version of CE and even Georgi updated the blog this year to talk about slight differences. So yes, this still applies.

>
That depends... Your application uses it's own classloader which means it should only use your libs in case there is another version available on the server. But if you're trying to deploy a lib that is used by a service of the server (int that case loaded by the server not your classloader!) I'm not so sure.

You need the Studio. No way around that. [Edit:] Sorry, misunderstood you here: I thought you want to copy something into the deployed directory on the server! - Of course, any deployment method would do it and though copying binaries seems to be valid. However, I'm checking this currently with development in detail.

Discussions about third party tools

Do we have any forum where queries related to third party tools for SAP like SecurInfo can be put up ??

Hi,
What about the Software Integration and Certification forum?
Eddy

About Third-party libraries..

Hello,
1) Is there any tutorial that shows how to use third-party jar files in our projects, step by step? I tried :
*Tools/Manage Libraries, then created new in "User" directory, Selected my jar files in class path then used Tools/Project Properties/Libraries/Add Library and selected the one that i added in previous step.
However when i type
import packagename.* it marks it as GRAY and does not do anything.. ?
2) If i add, does it encrypt and compress my third-party jar file in my Main jar file? Or do i need to make it read from external directory by my code?
If it does not ecrypt, how can i avoid people using the library that i used in my project when i give them my software?
Thanks..

hi GlenX
Could it be that your JAR file you refer to in (1) contains your "library JAR" as a JAR file?
It looks like using a "Library File Group" in a "JAR Deployment Profile" includes the "library JARs" as JAR file in the new JAR file created by the profile. It is possible to add the contents of "library JARs" using a "Dependency Analysis File Group" in a "JAR Deployment Profile".
see http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/JarStuffThread615655-v0.01.zip
In JarStuffThread615655-v0.01.zip I have included two applications, "Thread615655MyToolApp" and "Thread615655MyClientApp" with in each one project (to avoid confusion about project dependencies).
The MyClient.jpr project has a "MyTool project library" configured, referring to "MyTool.jar".
So, you could try this scenario ...
(1) open Thread615655MyToolApp.jws in JDeveloper
(2) select "Deploy to JAR file" on MyToolDeploymentProfile.deploy
(3) open Thread615655MyClientApp.jws in JDeveloper
(4) select "Deploy to JAR file" on MyClientDeploymentProfile.deploy
(5) double-click the "MyClient\deploy\MyClient.jar", and see the "vSomeMyToolValue = some MyTool value" shown on the panel in the frame.

Questtion about Third party returns process

Hi All,
We have an issue in returns PO process -Third party
Customer Forward Processp flow as below
OR (US Sales Order) -> US Purchase Requisition (NB) -> US Purchase Order (NB) -> MIGO (Mvt 101) -> MIRO (Vendor Invoice) -> F2 (Customer Invoice)
Customer Return Process:as below
ZREP (with US customer) -> US Purchase Requisition (NB) -> US Purchase Order Return (NB) -> MIGO (Mvt 161) -> MIRO (Vendor Credit Memo) -> ZRE (Customer Credit Memo)
When the user raises Return purchase order , it is taking the price from Inforecord for current validity date.
But ,Our user wants , it should select the same price from the initial purchase order( as in forward process) even though the price changed in Inforecord for the current validity date when the Return purchase order raises .
Please advise how to achevie this reqmt. Any user exits available.
Regards,
Amara.

Hi Amar
Can you you share the solution you achieved , which will be the usefull to other members
of the forum also. Bcoz as fas as I am concerned SAP doesn't suppot the return process
in third party sales. Did you use any user exits?
Thanks

About third party process

hi friends,
in third party order processing what is the need of creating purchase requisition, cant we create purchase order with out refrence to puchase requisition?
Thanks and regards
sudhakar

hi
Yes, wat you said is correct we can create PO with Reference to PR.
In some situation we need to show this information to the auditing people ( Internal Process ) for that they need to show the reference doct, beacause of this order only we are created PO..
And also one more scenario
One customer is palcing material for 100 item but we have only 80 in that case we need to deliver the good the customer from our third party vendor in this sitution also we need some refrence document which is linked to Our Order..
Because we need to create PR
Ihope it is clear, Rewards if it is Usefule

Third Party Process
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

Query about third party sale process

Hi,
SD experts,would u please tell me the acctual spro configuration of "third party sale process".

Hi Anirban,
First, there is a note 550388 which is the FAQ note for customizing of third-party process.
Actually the main configuration is just the item category and schedule line category.
You could refer to TAS and TAB in standard system to create third party order and individual purchase order.
You could also refer to the online documentation at

Question about third party apps

sorry to ask this dumb question but what apps are listed as third party apps because i dont know what apps is third party apps.

Hello Shawn,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides information to troubleshoot apps. The section on "Contact the developer" will show you how to identify and contact the developer. And to answer your specific question, any app that is developed by a company other than Apple is a "third party app".
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won't open

About Third Party Sale

Dear Gurus,
Kindly help me with configure the below process.
Unlike a third pary item ,which is delivered to the customer directly by the vendor, I want to add a material in the sales order which is procured and placed in stock, schedule lines allowed and then delivered along with other items. Which settings would make this material behave differently from a third party item.
Also, could you please tell me the difference between TAS and TAB Item categories?
Many Thanks
Kumar

Hi
Your process is called individual purchse order
You will receive an order from customer
Up on saving the sales order PR will get generated
Based on that PR you will rise a PO to vendor and
You will receive the stocks in your plant and will do MIGO and keep them as sales order stocks
Then you will generate delivery to the customer and do PGI billing etc
Settings reqd
1.Item category group as BANC
2.Item category determined will be TAB or should be TAB
TAB is marked with special stock indicator as E in standards (that is reqd)
TAB is delivery related billing A for billing relevance
3.Schedule line category should be CB
4.In VOV6 for Schedule line category should be CB
In VOV6 details Order type should be NB
Item cartegory in purchase should be 0 in purchase
Account assignment catgory should be M
If you ensure these settings then your process will go smooth
In background for the Schedule line category CB the requirement type determined will be KEB and
the requirement type KEB will be linked to Requirement class KEB
If anyone of the keys told in bold is not maintained or wrongly maintained the you will have problems in MIGO
From FI side it goes to consumption account not to inventory account as this is picked from the Requrement class in OVZG
