Wanted: Career Direction Suggestion

Hello Folks,
I am Certified 2002 Basis Administrator and I finished BW course on my own. My eye is on Security. I was thinking of doing BW or Security certication. I am wondering which direction I should take next to pursue my career step. I am planning to take certification in any of the above area. Any ideas, suggestions is highly appreciated.
Thanks

As you know the industry for SAP Basis guys gets less pay than SQL DBA or Network Administrator gets. I feel sometimes better to be Oracle DBA or Unix/Windows specialist than SAP Basis guy. Bearing the burden of the application and there dependability (DB, OS, Networking & Backup Recovery) I feel lets get out of this crap.
BW is well paid, so is Security with one thing to think all time. Focus of your attention is only at one subject. Basis sucks all the time having such an important role still get less paid than any other guy on project.
BW and Security reaching sky with SAP. I need your input on this. Thanks for the response.

I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive.

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive without clicking on save option everytime when saving an image. I'm using firefox ver 35.0.1 for windows 7.

Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
Hope it will work fine for you.

Want sending directly email addresses to applied rules via context menu

Oke, I already sad it. But, 'par example'... I'm working with new co-workers at a new place. I got a a massage from our contact person. he send us all an 'open' massage, with all the e-mail addresses visible. Now I select all the contacts and want to direct them in a 'rule'... so they are 'mapped/directed to, in this case an sup-group or specified folder. The idear is that all emails from this group will go to this (ruled) folder.
But I want to do this right-click/controle click to context menu way.
This would also be handy for just one contact. Its a bit tidious to do it one by one after you opened preferences etc.
Maybe there is another solution. Thanks for responds!

Waaa, that's a pity. Coming from thunderbird, it's a loss in productivity!
In thunderbird you can make a 'rule based on a email address'.
This will be a big request for a future production of Apple Mail. Hope that people from Apple read this.
If anybody thinks different please say so. But thanks for your fast reply.

Newbie starting a database app need direction/suggestions

I've been mucking about with C# and SQL databases for some time now and I've decided its time to try a serious project. I want to create an application for managing on the job training at work. I have played around the last week with SQLCE and making
little experimental databases to learn more about relational databases. I have a rudimentary understanding oF RDBMS(wouldn't go so far as to say basic), I know how to do simple queries, subqueries, basic joins, and I've even played with triggers a bit (in
MSSSEE).
I could probably make a go of this project and make something work but I figured since its a pretty basic (to an expert anyway) I'd probably be better off going to the community for direction and advice (not to get people to code for me). I've partially planned
out how to set up the database and I'd like to describe what I've come up with so more knowledgable folks can tell me if its a good or bad path to follow and perhaps point me in a better direction for the bad parts. I'd rather understand what I'm doing and
learn the proper ways than simply say "can someone write this for me?".
Anyway, I thought a lot about what this app needs to do and did a few experimental projects where I realized even more things that it needs to do. I think I have the requirements just about covered.
Some training happens only once, some (by law or policy) have to be repeated periodically, some need a subset redone due to movement of an employee from one job or facility to another where some, but not all, of the previous training needs to be redone (machinery
operator moving to a different plant with the same function but different systems would have to relearn the system specifics). Some subjects apply to all employees and others to very few.
The most basic function is to let supervisors assign training tasks to employees and track their progress but the application also needs to alert a supervisor of upcoming due dates for assigned training and upcoming re-do dates for the periodic training. In
some cases, like with mandatory periodic training, it could (should?) initiate assignment rather than wait for a supervisor to remember to assign the training manually.
The application could be set up to have every bit of training for a job class organized under that job class but I think it would be more flexible to organize around a specific skill or area of duty.
For example, an ice rink worker needs to know how to operate the refrigeration plant, operate the ice-resurfacer (generically called the Zamboni), perform emergency duties (fire, earthquake, chemical leak, etc), and several other areas of knowledge. One area/skill
would be to operate refrigeration plant, another would be Emergeny response. Each of these would be a training "topic". Many topics would be applicable to mutiple job classes which is why they are under a seperate table from books.
Each topic would be broken down into focused steps - small bite sized chunks that the employee would learn then be tested on that knowledge. As each step is completed the examiner (supervisor or "expert" in that field) marks the step as completed
and records that in the application (might be a weekly or monthly hand-in of books to record progress).
Each job would have several topics they have to know so the topics are organized in what I've ingeniously decided to call a "book" (talk about imaginative!). We have areas where a person in a job class actually has a different knowledge requirement
than the same job class in another area. There are commonalities of course but I don't think it would be good to have every person in a job class expected to complete training in something they aren't doing and in many cases will never be required to do in
their entire career.
So a book would something like Arena Operation, Boiler Operation, WHMIS, or Emergency Response. A job class would be assigned several "books" to cover all the areas of knowledge they require.
Now to kick off thinking about actual database design.
The training definitions would be in three tables: Books, Topics, and Objectives. A book has multiple topics and a topic has multiple objectives.
The book table would have an int primary key, a title field, a longer description field (explaining the aim of the book in some way), a time to complete field (add to assignment date to get a due date), a repeatability field (The values here would indicate
a one shot, can repeat, or must repeat), and a repeat frequency field (how long before it has to be repeated - might be a date or a datediff, haven't figured that out yet).
The topics table would have an ID primary key, a title, and another longer description field for information specific to that topic.
The objectives table would had an ID primary key, a Topic foreign key, a short description, a long description, a "given" field outlining what the trainee needs and a "denied" field outlining what the trainee can't have (no drawings allowed
when your describing a system).
Later on I want the program to be able to print shirt pocket sized booklets for trainees that contains short descriptions and larger OJT manuals that have all the details that trainees can refer to.
The next table needed would be the employees table. I think the obvious ID field, first and last name fields - possibly an initials field (in case of identical first and last names), and possibly a "deleted" field for employees that leave (don't want
to actually delete them in case they come back at some later date). If not a deleted field then a "former" employee table that an employee is copied to when they leave.
Several relations tables would be created when a book is assigned to an employee. I haven't quite figured out exactly what to use which is why I chose now to post this. Some direction from here could save a lot of headache later. The relations tables would
contain only "current" books - ones that are still in progress.
I was thinking of EmployeeBook, BookTopic, and TopicObjective.
EmployeeBook would have EmployeeID and BookID, a date field for the assigned date and another date field for the due date. I had thought of just due date or just assigned date and a time allowed but I think it might be simpler to have both dates specified.
I'd also thought of making a unique key on EmployeeID and BookID but quickly realized some books may have to be assigned many times (WHMIS etc).
BookTopics would have a primary key of BookID and TopicID - cant think of any more fields here.
TopicObjective would have TopicID and ObjectiveID as well as a status field (three values - not complete, complete, not applicable) and an examiner ID field (for who signed off on the objective).
Once a book is completed I was thinking of deleting it from the relational tables and creating an entry in an archive table - no relations, everything would be the full text so if the training data is changed it won't change the completed training records.
The indexes would be whole names and any reporting would have to be grouped by book name, topic name, etc.
So thats the general idea. I'd dearly love any suggestions or advice people have. What sounds reasonable to me might be recognized as a fool's errand by someone with actual competence in database programming. I'll work on specifics once I know I'm not running
full tilt without a flashlight down a blind alley in the dark.
Thanks for getting through the entire post 8)

Hi Ghidera,
From my point of view, there is no need to design the BookTopic table. You can create a EmployeeID filed in the TopicObjective table, then
create a foreign key on the column EmployeeID
and reference the column EmployeeID in the EmployeeBook
table. Also you need to create foreign key relation from EmployeeBook table to Employees table and Books table.
Besides, you should create a foreign key on a column in Topics table and reference the column ID in the Books table.
Thanks,

Wanting career with Oracle9i (OCP)

I’m a graduate in the year ’97 & just completed OCP (Oracle9i). My present working area based with MS Office only.
I want a career where I can use my OCP knowledge.
Is it possible with these qualifications or do I join any other course for better prospect ?
Looking for your suggestions.

San ,
First , accept the congratulations for completing OCP 9i. Your next immediate step should be to cover up 10g and 11g both also as they are both the most current versions. You can clear the combined exam for direct 9i to 11g with this following exam.
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_055
The next step should now be to get some place where you can apply your knowledge and cover teh gaps. If you can get a junior dba post, nothing like that. Otherwise, for the time being, get a job of a trainer inthe same field. This will give you two things, one it will give you a place where you would apply you skill. Second, itwill let you interact with others and would let you clear most of the doubts of yours. In the meanwhile , keep looking for a post in the database field.
One last thing, get your self acquintted with the knowledge of some operating system. Oracle has a course which can be very useful for you for the same, Oracle 10g Managing oracle on Linux(046). Biut for this, you need to be 10g OCP first. In any case, you need to update yourself ith some other o/s except Windows.
All the best!

Oracle Techno Functional module career path suggestions

Hi,
My educational background is BE(Computers) and MBA (Banking and insurance). At present I am working as QA lead and have 5 years of work experience in QA. But I want to switch my career path from QA to Oracle techno functional consultant with oracle finance module. Can anybody please suggest what will be my future prospects or career path for this. I wanted to sign up for a oracle techno functional training but before this wanted to get some expert advise if this will be beneficial. Any help in this matter will be deeply appreciated.

I was an accoutant by trade 1991-1999 and started learning DB concepts and reporting in general. I was able to get a job writing crystal reports for Solomon accounting package. That led to support for the accounting package. That was in 2000.
Our company purchased the Oracle ERP suite in 2003, so i was able to go to train and be here for implementation and go live. I was lucky in that i was able to get training. You have a good business background, which is very important for functional analysts. The tough part is too get a foot in the door in a company that uses Oracle.

Want to direct iphoto back to original data

I have my photo library on an external hard drive. Photos from camera were downloaded when external had been unplugged. iphoto created a new folder with the same name as the original and loaded the new downloaded pics into it. When opening iphoto, i get the new pics with over 8000 ghost pics, frames with titles but no pics. I found new folder, copied pics and threw folder away, but am afraid to empty trash. I need to know if I can somehow redirect the app. to go to the old folder where all the pics are. Any suggestions? I have had to rebuild in the past and did not get any movies as they all transfered as pics. Am using 5.0.4

Its been a long time since iPhoto5 - for later versions(and I think 5) you depress the option (alt) key and launch iPhoto to select the location of the library - when in iPhoto you can see exactly where your photos are by right clicking (control clicking) and a photo in the iPhoto library window and selecting the show file command

BPM data increase very fast and want to get suggestion about BPM capacity

Dear BPM Experts:
I meet a problem with BPM capacity problem. My customer using BPM 11g and every day they
Have 1000 new process,every process have 20-30 tasks,they find the data increase very fast,about 1G/day.
We have done a test about BPM capacity, I create a new simple process named simpleProcess.
which only have three input field, I use API to initiate the task and submit to the next
person.
we using dev_soainfra tablespace, and we set the default audit level, after insert 5000 task, we find dev_soainfra is reach 362.375M,
So as assume 30000 task will using 362*6=2G database spaces,and because in next phases,my customer want
To push BPM platform to more customers, which means more and more customer will using this platform,so
I want to ask is it data increase reasonable? Do you have capacity planning guide for BPM 11g? and If I want to reduce
Lower The data increase, how can we do?
We have try to turn the audit log off, but it seems useless, it only save 8% spaces.
Thanks for your help!
Eric

It looks like you are writing your data to disk every so often. For that reason, I recommend making it based on the number of samples you have instead of the time. With that you can preallocate your arrays with constants going into the shift registers. You then use Replace Array Subset to update your arrays. When you write to the file, make sure you go back to overwriting the beginning of your array. This will greatly reduce the amount of time you spend reallocating memory and will reduce your memory usage.

I want to ask about changing perspective and perspective correction in photoshop. Obviously, we can tilt and straighten buildings and other monuments, which are leaning in any direction. Now, what I want to know is whether we can change perspective for human faces. For example, if there is a human face, where one part of the face is facing the camera and the other part of the face is only partially facing the camera, can we make this face look totally at the camera? I mean, look straight in front, and I am talking about the whole face here. I am attaching an image as an example of what I am talking about. @

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

Why doesn't the #target directive work in InDesign CC scripting?

I have a script which works fine when run from ExtendScript Toolkit on both InDesign CS4 and InDesign CC -- but I am unable to specifically target CC using the #target directive.
At the top of my .jsx file, if I put:
#target "InDesign-6.0"
Then the script will open InDesign CS4 and run the script. However, if I put:
#target "InDesign-9.0"
It throws a dialog error "InDesign-9.0" is undefined! I've tried 8.0 and 9.1 just in case I had the version number wrong; nothing works.
Now, it is true that I can get it to work by simply adding:
#target "InDesign"
which targets the latest installed version, CC. BUT this is not a solution, just a workaround! I want to be absolutely sure I am targeting the specific version specified. Someday I may install a newer version alongside it, and then all of a sudden it will "jump" to that version when the script runs, and that's not what I want.
Any suggestions?

After CS6 InDesign was completely converted to 64-bit application.However for windows platform 32-bit version was still supported. Hence for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit both type of versions were part of installation.
To distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit version of InDesign, following targets are used.
For Windows Use:
#target "indesign-9.032"      //If want use 32-bit version indesign
#target "indesign-9.064"      //If want use 64-bit version indesign
For Mac Use:
#target "indesign-9.064"      //As Most of the MAC machine are already 64-bit , Only 64-bit InDesign is provided for Mac.

Want to step up from iPhoto. Recommendations?

I know, it's a little silly to ask for recommendations for a "better iPhoto" on the Aperture form, but I (or rather the user I'm asking on behalf of) have some particular requirements.
At the moment he has a massive iPhoto library that is taking up most of the space on his MacBook's internal hard drive. He since bought an external and moved the Library over there. The problem is that he'll need to keep at least a minimal Library (probably "only" a few gigs) on his internal drive for when he's traveling. This minimal Library would be a subset of what is on the external drive. The external drive will be used mainly as "offline storage" for less frequently accessed pictures and an unofficial backup.
I showed him how to switch between iPhoto Libraries by holding the Option key but he finds it quite laborious to manage both Libraries -- it seems like you can't directly drag from one Library in to another but instead have to export the photos from one and import them in to the other. Please correct me if I'm wrong. One thing he'd like to be able to do is compare the Libraries side-by-side, so he can quickly tell what's what.
I think what we want isn't multiple Libraries but rather a Library that can span multiple disks. Our 'perfect program' would make it quite obvious WHERE the photo is located -- my user needs to be certain of what picture is on what drive. User confidence is a huge thing here -- a program that hides potentially useful information is NOT what we want.
I've downloaded the trial of Aperture. It appears that "Relocate Master" is close to the function he needs but what he really wants is more of a "Backup Master" to copy certain files to the external but also keep them on the internal drive if he wants.
Also, I haven't been able to determine how you get the file path to show. The list view in the browser tells you just about everything except this and it seems like you can't add columns like you can in Finder. Is there a way of automatically 'smart tagging' photos based on where they are on the filesystem?
If anyone has input, either on how to get iPhoto working how we want, or whether Aperture (or LightBox, or ???) is what we want, or even suggest a solid Finder work flow that will allow him to browse his massive collection (coverflow?) and keep it organized.
Finally, we have not tried iPhoto 9 yet, but I didn't see anything that looked like it addressed his need in the New Features part of the README. Again, pls correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you for your advice and time!

I've been checking out iPhoto 09. I see it has a "Browse Backups" option that works with Time Machine. How does this workflow sound? User imports the photos to the Library on internal hard drive, runs Time Machine on his external drive. Any photos he doesn't want on his MacBook he can delete and bring them back using iPhoto's "Browse Backups" function. Yes?
A bit nervous about requiring Time Machine to restore things... as a general rule we try to avoid locking things in to a vendor specific format, and the prospect of just trusting it to work properly doesn't really appeal (we haven't had great luck with this Mac.) But it sounds like it might do exactly what we want. Thoughts?
Guess this question really belongs on the iPhoto forum now. I'll test this and ask any further questions there.
I would still appreciate any input regarding the previous potential solutions as well!
thanks again,

How to call particular ecc transaction directly into IC Webclient

Dear all,
We have called ECC Transaction into IC Webclient, but instead of showing the particular transaction like VA05N, system showing the ECC system Easy access screen.
I want call directly the required transaction, and dont want to access though the sap main menu.
Please help to solve this problem, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Raghu ram

Hi Raghu,
Are you calling the execute method ?. I think you have to give the method name as execute ( in the wizard of TL )
for confirming the same please go to SWO1 transaction, and give the BOR object name that you have created, now click execute / test button.
it will ask for the T-code to be executed,, give the ECC t-code
now ,, run the method execute ( one among the three methods TSTC have ).
you should able to see the ECC transaction opened for you..
if this happens I am sure that some all you need to do is some minor changes in TL wizard!.
Tip: I think u missed the method name while configuring the TL.
Hope it Helps..
Regards, Sudeep..
