Tips for using the Forum - please read

I saw this posted on another forum and thought it might help people here understand how to use the Forum and get more benefit from being here:
Forum Tip: to reply to a post, please use the "Reply" button next to the message (the arrow button, second from the left), not the "Reply to the Original Message in this Topic" link.
Forum Tip: if you have a problem and would like the best personal attention from experienced forum members do not Hi- Jack someone else's post in an attempt to solve your own problem..... start your own topic.... on the surface a lot of problems appear exactly the same..... they very seldom are.... by all means add to someone else's thread but do not use it as a means of solving your own problem.
Forum Tip: try and describe your problem in your topic heading..... things like 'HELP' are useless.... many good people may pass your post without reading it.... and please, please supply vital info..... what computer, system, application.... version of.... what have you done to fix the problem..... give a full description of the problem and no SHOUTING or bumping allowed.
Forum Tip: I would also add that it is important that you proof-read your post asking for help before you hit that "post message" button. But if you do make a mistake, or discover that your post is unclear then use the "Edit" button to make changes. The "Edit" button is the one with the pencil on it.
Forum Tip: What do the different buttons by each message do?
From left to right, the function of each button is explained below: ??Envelope icon = Email this post. ?Curved arrow = Reply to this message. ?Pencil icon = Edit this message. ?Trash can = Delete this message. ?Purple ribbon with small + sign = Bookmark this post. ?Large - sign = Rate this post negative. ?Large + sign = Rate this post positive. ?Blue or gray bar = Display the ratings on this post. ?
Pause the mouse pointer on an icon and Help will be displayed.?
Forum Tip: From the Apple Help and Terms of use files.
State your question clearly. Include as much information as you can about your issue.
At minimum, include:
The operating system you're using and its version.
The names and versions of other relevant products.
A complete description of computer and connected peripherals.
What you were doing when you ran into this issue.
Example: I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.4 on a 20-inch flat panel iMac with 768 MB of RAM and 15 GB free space on my hard disk. I have an X-brand PDA connected via its USB cradle. iCal 1.5.2 unexpectedly quits when I add an event.
Forum Tip: Test your answer. Make sure your answer works on your own computer before you post it. Do not guess.
Forum Tip: Spend some time reading the discussion forums before you post. In the case of the most common problems the question has already been answered and you can find the answer by using the "Search" field in the upper right corner of the page. A simply search on the forms will provide a solution to this problem.
TIP: Use the Apple Knowledge-base and Support pages for individual products. All of the most common problems can be solved by articles already posted to the K-BASE. Here is the link to the article providing the answer to the above example: Some songs in your iTunes library aren't copied to your iPod.
The Apple Support Pages are a wealth of information that can help you solve problems and learn about your Macintosh and Apple products.
Forum Tip: If you post a problem on the forums and then later on found the solution to it by yourself, and no one has posted in your thread, feel free to post in your thread letting others know how you solved the problem. This may help others who would otherwise need a solution for the same similar problem you had.

Hey Jeff just wanna thank you for taking your time making this post. I just wanted to say hopefully it will help a lot of people. But awhile ago I was thinking and probably will start soon a FAQ post where I add in the most commonly questions people post in here. For example:
What is the best protective case for the Nano?
*List many good sites with good cases*
How Do I reset my Nano?
Answere here...can't think on top of my head
Why wont my Nano turn on?
Reset
Of course it will be more detailed but you see my point?

From whose point of view?
From the point of view of the originator of the post
--> people will be encouraged to answer your questions because you told them how valuable their answers were.
From the point of view of the people who answer
--> It will tell them if they are on the right track or not in understanding and providing the answer for your question
--> It will give them a sense of satisfaction that they were able to help someone
--> It works as an indirect measure for their knowledge
From the point of view of others searching the forum
--> It will tell them that someone else had the same or similar issue and they got n number of answers and the points will tell how close each one of them are to the ultimate resolution
From the point of view of SAP
--> It attracts people to the forum, which generates more visbility for their products.
--> They can find patterns and may be breakthrough thinking presented in the forums that they may use in their product development
--> If more and more people share their knowledge and help each other in resolving their issues, then the cost of ownership of their products will be lower for the customers and so they will stay with SAP products.
--> and many more
Above all, your points will allow me to gain one more T-shirt or Ipod or some of the cool things that SAP is giving top contributors.... so why not!!!..} Right? Wrong, it is the recognition and acceptance that you gain from others that inspires you to learn more and contribute more...
Happy SDNing..)

Why do paid Apple employees earn forum points & rankings?

Why do paid Apple employees earn forum points & rankings? I thought the points system was "to increase community participation". Giving points to people paid to be here and putting them in the rankings runs counter to that intent.

Hi, Jason -
No, I'm talking about the people with the silver Apple badges whose profiles say they're Apple employees.
At least some of them are paid to be in here, maybe others aren't and just come in here to be helpful on their own time, I guess I don't know. If you're paid, you don't need encouragement.
The only Apple employees who are paid to be here as their primary job function are the Hosts, the ones who display the purple apple badge.
Other Apple employees may post here. Usually it is on their own time, at which time they may or may not identify themselves as being an Apple Employee - if they do, they then display the silver apple badge.
On rare occasions Apple employees may post in an official capacity in order to address a specific need, but (historically, at least) this does not occur on a regular basis.
Yikes, I'd assume a company employee could provide useful info on the company's products. If an Apple employee doesn't give useful info...I hope that's someone who isn't working at Apple for long.
Apple has a broad and diverse enough product line that no one employee can possibly know it all.
Since most of the time a person who is identified as an Apple employee is posting on their own time, I see nothing wrong with thanking them the same way anyone else would be thanked.

New feature: pressing alt while using the anchor point tool

Hello,
New feature doesn't work at my side ==> pressing alt while using the anchor point tool would allow to pair the handles again while dragging a handle. But if i press alt or if i do not press it, it does not change the working of my anchor point tool or handles. When i press alt i see the little sign apearing next to my cursor and that's all. Someone an idea what could be the problem?
Thank you for your help.
Tommy

thank you!!!!! I clicked and dragged before..didn't understood apparently the function of the new feature for 100% ;-)

Re-Use of cursor pointer in the Cursor loop

Is it possible to re-use a Cursor pointer as a cursor pointer within the main cursor loop. We have a scenario like
FOR c1 IN cursor1 LOOP
FOR c1 IN cursor2 LOOP
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
The code seems to work and gives correct result 75% of times and giving wrong result 25% times, even though we are using the same data every time.

This is an existing piece of code, and we are actually trying to investigate why the program is giving incorrect results only sometimes and not always, even when we use the same set of data. This appeared to be the only logical error we could find.
We are using the variable of the first loop inside the second one, which I understand the code shouldn't be doing. But then, I would expect the result to be consistently wrong, which they are not and this is what surprises me. Could it be that the Oracle is not able to handle this properly?

No information under link "Forum points" anymore

Hello,
formerly I saw under the link "forum points" in the thread contribution of a SDN member, which forum items were rewarded of this author. But this isn't working anymore. Meanwhile I only see all contributions of this member. I would like to know why the functionality "Forum points" was cancelled allthough it was very interesting to know which rewarded contributions a certain author has to offer?
Regards
Martin Lehmann

If you are referring to viewing the users "contributions" when you click that link - each user has to "select" to show that in their user profile.

What is the use of change pointer technique in IDOC

hi
could anybody suggest me
what is the use of change pointer technique and how to use it
thank you
kalyan.

Change pointers are used for changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by SMD Tool.i.e.shared Master Data.
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
You can increase the rate of processing by using the Analyze Change Pointer and Reorganize Change Pointer functions.

Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.

CS5 - Should I register each install to a user or use a single point of conatct

Ok, at this time I only have a single user from Adobe CS5 but this is likely to grow.
I would like to know if there are advantages to having this product registered to the individual user or should I be using a central point of contact as we have a dedicated IT department. My hesitation in registering to individual users is that staff changes to these often do not consider specialized products being registered to the individual.
Any thoughts will be gratefully received.

Your call.
Bob

Select a word using its quad points/rect in adobe reader using Javascript

Select a word using its quad points/rect point in adobe reader using Javascript

The only option you have to select a word using JS is by using the selectPageNthWord method, which works based off an index, not a quads.
However, in principle you should be able to use a loop that iterates over all the words on the page, comparing their quads to the one you have, and then selecting the one that matches.

Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?
Matt

With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.
