Using BusinessObjects Tools without a Universe

I'm in the process of evaluating the BI Landscape where we have SAP BW & Queries as the 'back-end' and BusinessObjects Tools as the 'frontend'. (Ignore BeX Analyser).
Reading up, it seems that Crystal Reports, Xcelsius and BusinessObjects Explorer do NOT requrie a Universe in place (Only WebI does). Is that correct? Are SAP moving away from having a Universe to suppot the BusinessObjects Tools?

Crystal Reports and XCelsius offer direct access to BEx queries (For Xcelsius you have to have an SAP BW 7 with at least EHP1 and SPS5 installed)
BO Explorer can be used on top of the BW Accelerator otherwise you will need universes to access SAP data.
In the next release the semantic layer was renamed but will remain and in fact it will be possible to use it to access SAP BW data also from CR (In the current version you CANNOT use universes on SAP BW sources from within CR).

How to use bone tool without getting my vector/object distort?

Wish to get some help here. I drawn my human body figure using pen tool. I connect the bone tool directly without separating the part of (hand,legs and head) into symbol. After that, I try to move the hand but it get distort. Not just the hand but the body and head also getting distort as well. Do we need to necessary convert the body parts to symbol first before connecting the bone? Thanks.

> So, is it right if I say that the services available in the backend are already implemented? And just creating an endpoint for them would make them ready for use?
Yes: kind of instant services
> Also if I consume a service, say, 'CreateSalesOrder_In' for example, will it create entries in all my Sales order relevant tables (VBAK, VBAP) automatically using a BAPI internally?
The service has the task to do all necessary steps, whether with or without using a BAPI.
> Actually, I have these doubts because during my time at SAP Labs (for the composites team in BusinesByDesign), I used to create business objects in the ESR and create an implementation for the same in the backend using BOPF. But now, in the customer scenario, where a full fledged ECC implementation is used, I am unaware as to how the services would update the tables or even read the relevant data.
My consumer view on aservice is that I do not have to know how the service works, just need to know how to call it.

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.

How to do Indepth table analysis without using any tool

Is there anyway of indepth analysis of tables of a database without using any tool, i.e. by means of sql's, pl/sql's only.
My database has around 800 main tables which have several other related relational tables(objects relating 2 tables on basis of OTO, OTM, MTO, MTM object relationship) and several dependent views(made from among the 800 base table only).
Currently database is indexed, has joins and views, all in working scenario but yet do not gauranty consistent behaviour.
My sole purpose is to analyse all main tables (around 800 of them) in my database by running scripts and prompt errors, warnings, exceptions wherever table needs indexing or change of joins(eg - from cross to inner,etc. ) or check inorder to avoid table full scan for related relational tables and dependent views.
My databse is Oracle10g.
Please do revert for any doubts.

My sole purpose is to analyse all main tables (around 800 of them) in my database by running scripts and prompt errors, warnings, exceptions wherever table needs indexing or change of joins(eg - from cross to inner,etc. ) or check inorder to avoid table full scan for related relational tables and dependent views.There are no tools which can tell whether your table needs indexing or whether you need to change joins methods, by just looking at your database. At most, you can get an idea about the missing indexes in case of a parent-child relation. Everything else, falls under application tuning - which involves sql tracing, profiling etc.
If you cannot trace individual sessions, then you are better off monitoring the database with statspack/AWR (if licensed). Generate reports at frequent intervals, look at the resource consuming SQLs and have a discussion with dev team to fix them, whenever possible.
EM can also be used for SQL analysis.

Is there any blog or examples to handle the errors without using ESB tool kit.

Hello,
I have been trying to work with error handling since last week but I dont understand how to construct the error message. Is there any blog or examples to explain handle the errors step by step from scratch without using ESB tool kit.Can anybody help me out.
Thanks in advance.

You can use option 3 to construct the error message inside orchestration.
Before using a BizTalk XML Message inside an orchestration, it must first be constructed. In fact this is just populating the message with XML. If there is an attempt to use this message before it is constructed, the above error will come. Some messages
come pre-constructed, such as messages that originate from a send port
There are several ways to construct a message inside an orchestration:
Create a new message from an existing message using BizTalk map
Assign one message to other(i.e. creating a copy of an existing message)
Creating a message with the help of a System.XML.XMLDocument variable
We have to first declare an orchestration variable of type XmlDocument. Then in a message assignment shape, we need to do something like this:
myxmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
myxmlDoc.LoadXML("<somexmlhere></somexmlhere>")
myMsgBeingConstructed = myxmlDoc;

Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
Thanks

Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks

Why can't I use my ID without a payment card?

Does anyone know how I can use my AppleID without supplying a credit card number? After my recent *fun* with Sony's security holes I AM NOT GIVING MY CARD DETAILS TO ANY COMPANY UNLESS I HAVE TO.
Apple - There is no reason to ask for it until I want to purchase! I should be able to use the app store and itunes store with out this first. I do not know how secure your code is. I expect that you put as much effort into security as every other company. In my experience that is as little as possible. So please don't take this the wrong way, but **** no I am not giving out my card details. I'll buy an iTunes card with cash and use that, thanks.

Excuse me? I haven't bad mouthed Apple's business model. I like it. I think the app store is a great idea and should make them and the developers into a community that works for the greater good. I'm not quite sure I see where you think I bad mouthed them, but if you can show me that I'd happily retract any erroneous statement.
I'm going to assume that you are referring to 'I suppose this goes to demonstrate the lack of a customer focus for their company.' For anyone that has been in IT since before it was cool and before the iPod revolution, they will remember and see that customer care is not Apple's strong point. Their strong points are excellent hardware, an excellent and efficient and secure OS. Every company has its good and bad points. Those of us that can objectively inspect and review these are the better off for the knowledge.
Also, I welcome intelligent feedback far better than blind optimism. In short my issues are:
1: Their docs say I should be able to sign-up and use the app store without supplying *ANY* financial information prior to wishing to purchase. This is as *any* shop.
2: Since the incident I have mentioned, I will not put my credit card details into any site. This should not prevent me from purchasing as I can obtain iTunes cards at any number of retail outlets pretty much anytime of the day or night.
I will admit that people suggesting with no concrete proof that I put my card details / PIN / personal information anywhere will arouse my frustrations. Although I should in some ways thank people that do because if there was only good advice I'd be out of a job pretty quickly. I'd actually have to go work for a living instead of being the one (usually) handing out the fix to people who have hit trouble.
My only reason for posting was to find any answer that met my criteria:
Accessing and using the App store.
Not inputting my card details or shelling out money until I want to buy.
I was not looking to be evangelised to. I have already bought a Mac. I love it. I love the interface. I love the long battery life. I love the wireless capability (good signal and speeds). It is however a tool to do what I want and not a religion. I personally pity those who are insecure enough in their choices to need to convince others of their opinions. You will notice that I backed up my comments with external references to ensure that this was not just my opinion. I would hope that this would make you read the articles and consider any effects this might have on you and your decisions. However beyond that if you are happy to supply your information that is your choice and I would respect that. It would be an informed decision. I would be happy to receive similar information from you. If you have any links like 'Apple's store unhackable, security tests show' etc I would be very happy to read those. If you have any links to a data retention policy from Apple I would also read it and weigh that in with my other deciding factors.
I welcome helpful and reasoned feedback. In fact the best answer on her I received was the 'There is no 'other way' you are deciding that you will not use Apples online stores because you disagree with their authentification methods, and that is your right.' comment which was accurate, informative and helpful if not what I wanted to hear / read. So far this is the approach that I have used to work around this issue. It would be nice to find an answer that did lead me to being able to use the app store in a way that makes me comfortable, but without cited references and details this seems increasingly unlikely.
You will have to excuse my skepticism with regards to security. As I have said this is my experience with large enterprises and Apple is most likely no different. It is not a comment on their business model. It is a comment more on the capitalist world and its nature to devote most of its money and efforts towards profits and share holders rather than its customers, community, employees, quality of products. It is not that Apple or any of the other businesses wouldn't like to, but it costs more and in this world that means the time and efforts go to the revenue streams security only costs companies money. Usually much more than they would lose otheriwse so it is secondary. It is not Apple's, or Sony's or any other corporations fault. It is ours as consumers and individuals. It is yours and mine for not demanding the quality. For not demanding the security. For accepting the capitalist world as it is. Now to dispell your assumptions that I am a communist (although that is much misunderstood anyway) I have my own businesses that are mature, with happy customers and I earn a good enough living. It doesn't mean I want to throw my hard earned away because I didn't take all reasonable precautions to protect it. Maybe you have enough money that you can just not care. Maybe it has come to you without effort. Maybe none of this is accurate. I have had to work extremely hard for mine. I would prefer to side with the safer option and perform my due dilligence before I choose another option.
Maybe you could share the information that you have that I am clearly missing. I would indeed like that and it might help me more than fatuous comments and unsubstantiated comments?

I could not find Properties under the file menu, but found a security setting in Preferences under the Edit menu. It did not have a way to allow/disallow COMMENT.

Can't use any tools from the toolbar

I'm running InDesign CS6 ver. 8.0.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit pc.
InDesign has been running perfectly for about two years on this pc until about a month ago when I suddenly couldn't use the tools from the toolbar any longer.
I have searched for a solution and found http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-tools-panels-dont-respond.html.
I have followed the instructions mentioned in the KB-article but it didn't change anything for me and certainly didn't solve the problem.
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated!

The KB-article recommends using font size = 100% and avoid Aero themes. I did use the recommended font setting already and I changed the theme to Windows 7 Basic. I turn off my computer every night and I have tried to use the toolbar several times during the last month. Without any luck :-(

JCOP tools without GUI

Hello,
i would like to know, what scripts is JCOP tools exactly running while building Java files (generating class files) and converting them to CAP files. I.e. what does "Build autoimatically" exactly do in ECLIPSE IDE with JCOP plug-in? What .jar files are also used?
I.e. i want to be able to rebuild my Java Card projects for different version os java cards without opening the Eclipse IDE, openning projects and building them in IDE.
I would appreciate nay information.
Thanks a lot,
best regards,
newbie.

Hello.
Thanks a lot lexdabear for your reply.
The post you've noticed above was very useful for me. I have solved the problem with tric.jar and also would like to add my 50 cents regarding some solutions proposed by Lillesand.
The error listed below can be simply avoided by explicitly declaring the whole name of the applet, i.e. -a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 no.qfree.keyexport.KeyDiversification.
E:\tools\captest2>java -cp e:\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse_3.1.2\tric.jar com.ibm.jc.apps.tric.jc.Converter
-dd e:\tools\captest2\
-cp e:\workspace\KeyExport\bin\;e:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\lib\api.jar
-ep E:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\api_export_files
-a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 KeyDiversification 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2 StringStorage
no.qfree.keyexport 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3 1 0
Error: class java.lang.RuntimeException, no such applet class LKeyDiversification; found in package no/qfree/keyexportAlso my there are some facts that i have figured out during the usage of tric.jar through command line:
1. Eclipse IDE produces slightly different .class files than i do by using
javac -source 1.3 -target 1.2 -g options during the compilation. May be it uses additional options?
2. Perhaps, as a result, a bit different CAP files are produced that the ones built automatically using Eclipse IDE GUI. Those CAP files also slightly differ in size (usually smaller tha mines). The only components that differ in size are:
Method.cap
Debug.cap.
The files produced through command line work just fine. I guess, that JCOP tools may additionally optimize the .class files to produce a bit smaller .CAP files.
3. Regarding the version information JCOP tools tric.jar produces
CAP files with version M=2, m=1 when using JC211 API, and
CAP files with version M=2, M=2 when using JC221.
I also converted the same files uding JCDKv2.2.1. It produces CAP files of version M=2, M=1.
In my opinion, all the problems that occured in the aforementioned post by Lillesand were caused by wrong usage of the JC2.2.2 export files.
I totally agree with you, lexdabear regarding choosing only one solution. In case you are using JCOP tools (through GUI or command line) you must use JCOP JC API .jar files and tric.jar converter.
If you are using JCDK, you must use its api.jar library with export files and converter from JCDK (coverter.bat).
I hope this info might be useful.
Best regards,
Eve

I am unable to use Highlight Tool in Adobe Reader X. Please suggest me solutions.

Hi -graffiti
Thank you again for your 10.24 post. I tried your suggestions today. The university computer lab i use has Adobe Acrobat Pro 6. The OCR function is under the dropdown menu "Documents>>Paper Capture". This permits conversion a scanned page to searchable text. Before beginning it asks you to select 1 of 2 Settings defined as: "Primary OCR Language English", or "PDF Output Style: Searchable Image (Exact)". That is the only choice to be made before conversion begins. After the conversion you can review and correct suspect words on captured pages. I tried both choices and regardless of which ended up with a document that was searchable, but still would not permit highlighting (I selected text with the highlight tool, clicked and dragged over a captured page, and nothing happened, same result as my earlier post). If I search for a particular word, all occurrences become shade-highlighted but if I expressly attempt to highlight a word with the highlighter it won't do it.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I might further massage the data?

PS CS6 froze when using smudge tool. Will I lose my edit?

PS CS6 froze when using smudge tool. Will I lose my edit? Is there any way to get it to respond without a force quit?
And how can I avoid having PS stop responding every time I am using the smudge tool?
I shut down all other applications, browsers, etc, but it did not help.
Thanks a lot!

Instead of switching to another program if you use Edit/purge/all does it have the same effect?
Of the 16 gigs how much is dedicated to PS?

Use snipping tool, try to send as attachments creates error

I am a desktop tech and I have seen other posts re: this issue but nothing has worked - While using snipping tool and use send as attachment to recipient, error in Outlook "messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If problem persists start
Outlook again". We run Office 2007 and Vista Enterprise. Tried Outlook diagnostics, and 'tablet pc optional components' is enabled to no avail. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Can you save the attachment without sending as attachment first?
Can you send a website as an attechment?
We need to clarify if this is a snipping tool issue or Outlook issue.
At this point, you may try to start Outlook in Windows clean boot mode to check if it helps.

Screen anomaly when using pencil tool (AICS5)

I've discussed this before, without resolution. Since upgrading to a new iMac, I see a flickering square at the cursor, when editing a path using pencil tool and Wacom tablet. Specifically, it appears when holding "Cmd" and selecting a path or "Option" dragging along a path to simplify the path. I captured a screen video and to my surprise, the square did not appear. In it's place is either a red or black circle. I am guessing these circles are part of the AI interface that I do not see on screen. I have not found any preference or documentation about them. If interested, please review this video. You'll see the circle, but not the flickering square I see on my screen. I'd appreciate help solving this mystery.
http://youtu.be/NXuRqkHgVF8
AICS 5 (15.0.2)
Mac OS X 10.7.5
Wacom Intuos 5
Thanks,
Ray

Thanks, Wade.
This is a brand new computer. Card is working well in every other aspect.
I am up-to-date with all Apple and Wacom driver updates.
Question: Am I supposed to be seeing the red and black circles that appear in the video? I have NEVER seen these, in my 25 years of working with Illustrator.
