Using the new EPMDriverBasedRefresh function for What-if Analysis

Hi,
A new function is available that supposedly enables easy what-if modelling in BPC. This sounds great because currently for what-if analysis, you need to duplicate data in the database (using differnet categories or data sources) which can be time consuming and impact overall performance.
Has anyone got any experience with this EPMDriverBasedRefresh function? There is some documentation on SAP's userguide but there are no specifics on the type of logic that is supported for scenario outputs i.e. is it only Member Formula Logic (Account 1 x Account 2 = Account 3), or can it support more complex scenarios such as running through Default Logic (and any BAdIs you may have) to retrieve the modelled output? (This would be awesome!)
32.20 has the detail in the userguide: https://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boeo10/en/EPMofc_10_user_en.pdf
and it says:
"This function enables you to refresh specific rows or columns of one or more reports, based on a specified range of data drivers whose values you can modify.
Additionally, you can specify to refresh a whole report that is outside of the specified range of data drivers.
This function can be used for example for what-if analysis."
My testing has found that it does not run default logic (where our driver-based calculation BAdI is called).
Any experience from fellow SDNers would be much apprecited! Otherwise I'll put a call into SAP to get the documentation expanded a little.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,
It looks like this function only deal with the report refresh with multiple reports in one workbook...
Not extremely useful. If I am wrong, please correct me.

How do I use the new search function for ipod?

itunes 7.0 and ipod is up to date:
when i scroll through the music, i get the nifty little grey box with the letter in it, but how do i get to the search where i use the click wheel to input a query and search through all items in my ipod?

Unless your iPod is one of the recently announced upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in the recent update. It may or may not be added in some future software update but there's no official word on that.

If I use the new sync-function, I keep losing my bookmarks or at least some of them during syncronisation. Is the new sync just as bad as the old one?

Just like with the old version of Firefox Sync I keep losing at least parts of my bookmarks when I'm using the new Sync version.
Anytime I change any of my bookmarks on one of my computers, I not only miss the change on other computers, but I also loose parts of the original bookmarks as well.
To me it seems that the new Sync is no better than the old one?

When you switched over to the new account, when you set it up the profile was blank and the name was: "uglings Firefox auf home1-ugling". Then on another login for the same computer, the name on the account was the same, so you changed the name.
So when you added bookmarks on the newly named computer account (the restricted account), all of the bookmark folders disappeared.
Summary for clarification, sorry for the repetitiveness.
STR:
# unlink account from old sync
# create new windows account on same computer
# on new account create sync account that has a blank profile and wait to sync. name is CILBMHVM6DT
# go to the previous windows account and add the new sync account to the old profile. (i did get a warning that there was an older account that was signed into, but I hit sync anyway) name was WIN-CILBMHVM6DT
# Wait for it to sync.
# rename the computer name associated with sync on old profile because it has the same name.(renamed old one to WIN-2)
# Add bookmarks to new windows account
# Go back to old windows account and see the new folder, but some previous folders are missing and bookmarks are out of their original folder.
Expected:
Merged folders to remain same file structure
Results:
Some bookmarks are not in folders that no longer appear in the bookmarks toolbar folder.
2 accounts on the same computer connected to the same Firefox Sync account had the same name and deleted some bookmark folders.
I filed a bug on this:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046954]
However in the meantime we can only recreated the folders that are missing on the accounts that you have set up. If this happens again, I will ask if it has to do with the unique identifier of each device attached to an account (I am assuming that its just the name that we renamed) But please also continue the discussion for this in the bug.
Thank you!

Can I use the new Firefox Beta for Win 8 on a non-touch screen computer?

I installed Win 8 on my somewhat old laptop (3 and 1/2 years old). I don't have a touchscreen on it, I don't want to use Internet Explorer, and I badly want to use the new tile Firefox and help it's development. I installed it and tried to enable tile mode but it is not offered in the settings at all. Is it possible to use it without a touchscreen?

Hi Marko,
Unfortunately work on the tile interface was discontinued due to low interest. You can find more information here: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/
The code lives on, so the project could well be restarted in the future. But for the time being you can only use Firefox in its traditional "desktop" interface.
Sorry for the bad news!

HT1937 i cant understand ....insert the sim card without no pin lock what is it mean ???? can i use the new buy sim for activating the iphone 3g??

my phone is constantly giving me message use the sim with no pin to activate ....any bypass any method to activate the iphone 3g i m worrid so much plzzz help me friends i m w8ing ...i m frm pakistan cani use the my country`s local carriers sim which is not activated yet

The PIN and PUK codes are usually found on the card that the SIM came attached to. In any case you need a SIM that has not been locked with a PIN in order to activate the phone. So you need to contact the carrier. It is not an iPhone issue.

I am trying to use the new plug-in for import from aperture. But the "import" button always disappears ... any help out there?

Hi there
I have up-dated LR to the latest version and like to use the plug-in for the import from the Aperture library. I follow the steps suggested by an article, have saved all picture into separate folders (folder = project name) and still, after the analysis of the library, the "import" button disappears and I am stuck and can't import.
Any ideas what can be done/must be done to get this working?
Regards
Diethard

I am having the same issue, i've selected my Aperture library, and the "import" button does not activate. Any idea how to fix?

HT204655 Can you use the new photos library for iPhoto to save space

I want to use the same library for photos and iPhoto because that way it will use a fraction of the space. Is that possible.

When you open the iPhoto library with Photos for the first time it will convert it to a Photos library. However, there is not a duplication of files or lost space on the HD. This is because the Photos library uses hard links to the original files in the iPhoto Library thus not duplicating files or taking up more space on the HD even though it may see so in the Finder.
I suggest you keep the iPhoto application and library until you're sure the Photos app and library will suit your needs. Photos is missing many features that iPhoto has which many of rely on heavily. You may find that Photos isn't for you right now and you want to continue using iPhoto until those missing features are restored.

TS3694 I have a 7.0 ios BETA on my iPhone 4. I can't restore it or use the new official update. What can I to to resolve this problm?

If someone can help me to fix this problem, I'll be very gratefull.

If you are a developer you were authorized to use the Beta version of the software and were provided instructions on how to update. If you misplaced those instructions you might get help in the developer forums.
If you are not a developer you have installed unauthorized software on your iPhone. The terms of Use of this forum profit the discussion of unauthorized software or modifications to you phone.

I have downloaded the latest version of Lightroom but I so not see the option Photo Photo Merge in order to use the new HDR

Cannot figure out what is wrong. It says my lightroom is up to date but not showing the option photo>photo merge so I can use the new HDR function in Lightroom. Is anyone else having this problem?

Contact Adobe. That is what I finally had to do. the number is 1-800-833-6687. There was a problem with a file. They took over my computer and got everything working for me.

TPM44 - new accrual functionality for OTC deals

Hi,
We have EHP4 and still use the TBB4 transaction in order to calculate accrual for MM transactions. What should we do to work with the new accrual functionality for OTC deals released in the new version of TPM44?
I know that accruals/deferrals flows for OTC transactions that we executed with the old accrual/deferral function (transaction TBB4) in an earlier release, first need to be migrated (TPM migration). But I don't know how to start. Do I have to activate a business function? How I turn the key in order to not use any more TBB4 and start use TPM44 for MM transactions?
Regards,
ZucoGuti.

Hi,
Before executing migration program, please check whether Treasury business functions (FIN_TRM_LR_FI_AN & FIN_TRM_LR_FI_AN_2) are activated or not in SFW5.
Also as a pre-requisite to do above activity, FINSERV component must be with 604 (EA-FINSERV 604)
Once above checks are completed you can run migration program which will regroup/change the configration for interest accrual in different places to single area under Accounting->Accrual Deferral Settings

How to properly use the new Lenovo touchpads

I'll admit to hating Lenovo's new touchpads at first (I purchased a Thinkpad T540p for myself and a relative got an IdeaPad). It felt impossible to click with any accuracy and I was close to returning my laptop largely because of the touchpad. Then I discovered I was using it completely wrong.
Most of us are accustomed to having dedicated physical buttons for left/middle/right clicking below the touchpad. With physical buttons, we usually had a finger on the touchpad and a thumb on the buttons. Because I was used to this style of doing things, I was trying to do that with the new touchpads: I would have my index finger sweeping around on the touchpad while my thumb was at the bottom for clicking. This led to all sorts of inaccuracies because the movement of my thumb and index finger would conflict with each other. Worse yet, when I clicked with my thumb this conflict would sometimes lead the cursor to move off of the item I was trying to click on.
Sound familiar? After I changed how I used my touchpad, I had a much more pleasant experience.
The thing to understand is that the new touchpads are basically a giant button. In other words, the entire touchpad surface can be used for clicking. You can press down anywhere on the touchpad and it will register as a click. Instead of keeping your thumb at the bottom of the touchpad for clicking, just use a your index finger to navigate around. When your cursor is over something you want to click, don't use your thumb! Just leave your index finger where it is and press down on the touchpad. "Click!" You don't have to use the bottom of the touchpad for clicking; the entire touchpad is one big button!
The next logical question: how do I right-click accurately? Yes, you could use the bottom right corner for right-clicking, but there's an easier way: place two fingers (e.g. your index and middle finger on the touchpad) and then press down. "Click!" Two fingers pressed down anywhere on the surface of the touchpad (aside from the corners which have already been assigned specific functions) will register as a right click.
Basically: just use your index finger to navigate to where you want the cursor to be, then use your index finger to press down to left-click or your index + middle finger to press down to right-click. DON'T use your thumb! It takes a little getting used to but now I completely enjoy Lenovo's new touchpad.
Alternatively: you can also gently tap with one or two fingers on the touchpad to left and right-click respectively. A "tap" is when you touch the touchpad and lift your finger(s) without pushing the touchpad down; a "click" is when you press down on the touchpad with your finger(s) with enough force to actually move the touchpad down and make an audible "click".
Hope this helps somebody!

Apologies for the double post, but I've made a video demonstration of how to use the new-style touchpads for those who are visual learners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3lpHDHaPw
Hope it helps somebody!

New preview function for iPad–error message "Multiple page sizes not supported"

When I try to use the new preview function with my iPad I get the error message "Multiple page sizes within a layout are not supported". I have a page that is 768 x 1296. I would really like to preview this folio before publishing. Any suggestions?

If you're trying to create an article that scrolls vertically, you can create a 768x1296 article in a 1024x768 folio, but you need to select a Smooth Scrolling option when you create or import the article, or in the Article Properties dialog box.

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?

And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.
