Various Queries from a new learner of SAP

Hello Gurus,
I have some queries. I am very new to SAP and just trying to explore different things. I would be grateful if I can get some help from the experts like you. These queries may sound silly but I really need to learn these things.

h. How can we maintain "date types for date monitoring, date specifications, infotypes for hire date, service dates and terminatin date"?
i. How can we configure time types, processing types and time wage type selection rules?
j. what are processing classes?
k. steps for configuring data entry profiles for CATS for employees entering time data into CATS
l. What are "remittance rule, order types, adjustment model for the disposable net?
j. How can be creat and assign forms to letter types in payroll?
k. What are inbound and outbund interfaces in Benefits?
l. what are vesting and investing in benefits?
m. how can we customize benefits and payroll integration?
I know these are too much questions for a single time; but I just got excited when I came to know about this website. This is the first time I am exploring this website. I didn't know I can learn from forums where there are so many experts to help you.
Thank you all in advance!

A few queries from a new user

I purchased a new Macbook Pro on Friday and i'm very pleased with it. I do have some issues, however, and I hope you can help me please...
MPEG: I had alot of these on my PC, and whilst I got told these formats were not Windows-only, Quicktime and iTunes refuse to play them. Can anyone help me by recommending a plug-in or software that can play them... and I don't like the idea of paying $19.99 for a Quicktime plug-in.
EXE: I assume these are "exclusive" to Windows, but everytime I try to install or run an EXE program, it displays a TextEdit document saying "This Program Cannot Run In DOS Mode". Is there a way I can use EXE files on a Mac or are they only for Windows.
SpellChecker: I'm used to Microsoft Office spellchecking my work, but i'm not used to Mac OSX spellchecking every single thing I type, and it is very irritating if using "chat slang" on instant messengers. How can I disable this?
Safari: This seems to be one of few programs I cannot run fully maximized. Is it possible to do so?
Wireless Connections: My Macbook Pro keeps losing it's connection to my router. My PC and laptop are set to pick up the router's signal whenever it isn't connected. This saves me from having to reconnect everytime I lose my connection. Is there a similar technique I can use on my MBP?
Many thanks
Jay

There is a Mac version of Real Player.
EXE files can not be run on a Mac. Windows and Macs don't use the same operating system. You can install Windows on your Mac, however. See the following:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Windows Media Player is not fully compatible with Intel Macs. Use Flip4Mac instead. WMP is no longer supported on the Mac by Microsoft.
When you setup your computer initially and created your admin account you should have created a username and password. Did you not do that? You can provide or change the password for your account using the Accounts preferences in System Preferences.
Spell checking is application specific. Go to the Edit menu of the application and look for a Spelling and Grammar item. Use it to turn spell checking on or off.
Open Network preferences, select "Set service order" from the tool menu located to the right of the "+" and "-" buttons. Move the Airport port to the top of the list and your Ethernet port next in the list. Click on the OK button then click on the Apply button. Next select the Airport port from the list and set the Configure drop down menu to DHCP then click on the Apply button. Do the same for the Ethernet port. You can check for other configuration options by clicking on the Advanced button. One such option you should configure for both ports is the Configure IPv6 option. I suggest turning it off.
If you are using any security settings in your router for access to your wireless network, then I recommend configuring the router to use WPA2 and not WEP. This will be more secure and more compatible with the Mac.
Quicktime should play your MPEG files. The files should have an extension of .mpg or .mpeg. Select one of the files and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select Quicktime Player from the drop down menu then click on the Change All button.

Run-time Error '429' when copying queries from one userid to a new userid

Hello,
One of the users is having an issue when copying queries from an old user id to a new user id.
She is getting the visual basic run-time error '429' - active x component can't create object while copying.
This is not consistent. From what I can tell, this does not appear to be a bex query designer issue but something in microsoft.
Please let me know either way. I have found minimal posts on this issue. Most that I have found are outside the sdn forum and talk about registry issues?
Thank you,
Lynda

According to your error message, your onClick function declaration line closes the parenthesis twice... you may have a typo in what you actually put in the file versus what you think you put...
function onClick()event:MouseEvent):void{

Migrating queries from 3.5 to 7.0

hi,
we are in the process of migrating from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. i would like to know, what are the steps to be executed to migrate queries from 3.5 to 7.0.

There is no migration and there is no new GUID and there are no new objects in database tables. However, once you save the query with the NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) Query Designer you cannot edit it anymore with the 3.5 Query Designer.
In general the system logic allows you to still edit other 3.5 queries in the 3.5 Query Designer even if they are re-using elements of a query that has been edited with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BEx Query Designer as long as the reusable elements use no 7.0 (2004s) features (such as planning settings, new aggregation on formulas, variables with multiple default values).
Please also check the NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI release notes and check note 832713.

I used Target mode to transfer files to a new iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and po

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Change SAP BI Password from BO Client Tools / Infoview, SAP Authentication

Hi,
We are using SAP BI BO Integration Kit (BO XI 3.1, SAP BI 7.0) & able to use SAP BI Queries with WebI, Xcelsius etc.
For a user group, we would be providing only Infoview access (using SAP Authentication). This means we would not want to install any BO Client Tools, SAP GUI or SAP Integration Kit Client, on user desktop.
We are faced with a issue - How does the user change password from Infoview (this is an SAP BI User ID used to login from Infoview).
Initial Password of SAP BI User cannot be changed from Infoview, since it doesnot prompt for changing the Initial Password.
Any ideas how to handle this situation.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Hi Erwin,
no. Also within BI4 you are not able to change your SAP password.
The Workaroung of Ingo is very suitable using SAP GUI for HTML.

Do a new layout on SAP NetWeaver Portal need more Performance?

Hello,
we want to create a new layout on SAP NetWeaver Portal in the Corporate Design of our company. Somebody said me, that a change from the standard layout needs a lot of more Performance on the server. Is that true?
At the present time our server already works very slowly with the standard layout. Is it useful to change the layout? Or do we need a better server for that?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Ulrike Arndt

Hi,
It depend on how you design your layout.
Use standard light framework and design your layout without heavy weight components.
It increases the performance also.(a little b

How to backup new learned remote-control data for the IR-remote APP???

Hello @ all,
does anybody know a way to backup the new learned remote control on XPERIA Z Tablet?
I found a database under:
"system/vendor/etc/sony-ir-remote/db"
But after I've saved new learned remote controls the date and the size of these DB's
are the same as before. Therefore the IR-remote control APP dosn't save the new data
in these files.
Furthermore there isn't a button in the remote-control APP to backup new learned remote controls.
And I can't choose the remote control APP in the backup function APP from the XPERIA Z Tablet
to save the data. Also the backup with the Sony PC Companion Software dosn't save the learned
remote controls. Who develops such a dross mobile software?
Sorry SONY, but you have the most unpalatable support I've lived to see!
The first SONY support center refered me to another support center.
The mobile support center does not answer to my questions per mail.
Then I call the mobile support center. The answers were shallow and standard.
The support engineer want to ask the development and call back.
However, I am still waiting for promised recall.

I am facing the same problem.
I have spend a few days to configure and train my Sony tablet to configure for all my remotes such as aircon and lighting. I did a backup using the Sony companion to my PC. When my tablet was faulty and serviced. But the backup did not recover the IR remote settings and codes which I programmed previously. I also tried your backup restore app but it also does not save the configuration.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for me to backup the settings.
Please provide the folders and path of where the IR REMOTE settings and personal configuration and codes trained were kept so that I could back them up. Are these path protected area that required rooted access?
Hope that Sony could update the app to include backup of new trained codes and settings and in the meantime to provide a procedure of how to backup the setting and trained IR codes with or without rooting the device.

Updating a variable from a new window

I have a frame which displays various labels and lists. I want to open a new frame, put in some input, then update the original frame. So far I have done this my making the original variable "static" and modifying it from the new frame but this is a pain. Is there an easier way?

Can I do that if I am instantiating the second frame
from the first? How do I pass myself to the new
frame's constructor?
// called from inside FirstFrame
SecondFrame secondFrame = new SecondFrame(this);

Print data at new line in SAP Scripts

Hi,
Is there any way that i can print data at new line in sap scripts. I am looping my data and its printing in the same line but i need to print it at new line. Is there any formating options or any command to do that.
Thanks

Than you must take all the values from the internal table into the different variables and than print them.
In program:
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA_TAB INDEX 1.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
VAR1 = WA_TAB-FIELD1.
ENDIF.
* read all the lines and fill the VAR variables
In SAPScript:
/E LINE_VAR
/P &VAR1&
/P &VAR2&
/P &VAR3&
/P &VAR4&
