What are Siebel Bars?

Hi there,
I was hoping someone could explain what Bars are, in the context of Siebel? I'm just doing some reading around Siebel for a project, and came across the term. Haven't been able to find out what it means. I assume it just refers to a single entry? i.e. the row in a database? Can someone please confirm whether this is correct or not?
Thanks for your time, and apologies if this is a tedious newbie question!
Tom

Can you give us a bit more context?
What Industry Vertical are you working with?
I Googled "Siebel Bars" and all I got was Screen Bar, View Bar, Thread Bar, Message Bar and Bar Code Scanner.

What are the bare minimum required tags for DNG (digital negative) images.

I'm trying to write a program that converts a standard BMP file into DNG. I know that isn't practical for many things, but I'm curious as to what the minimum required tags are for a DNG image. The DNG specs at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_spec.pdf show what tags are available, and mention whether or not a given tag is required, but this document doesn't have a list showing only the required tags. So I'm wondering, does someone here have a list of only the required tags for DNG images?

Just discovered there's a dedicated DNG section to the forum at Digital Negative (DNG) which is where this question should probably be, but don't know if think I can move this message myself. Maybe a moderator can move this post.

What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it.
The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S. If you would like to get more details, you can always view
each models specs on Apple's online store.
See here for a better explanation.

I can change the tab location w/respect to the address bar, but what are "tab controls?" Can't find that explanation.

From your web site re: tabs on top- Why was this Change Made?
The main reason is that it just makes more sense. With tabs underneath, the tab and the controls were grouped together and the page was separate. With tabs on top they are now all grouped together so that each tab has it's own set of controls.
What are the "controls" of which you speak?

The article you looked at will have been
*[[How do I put tabs back on bottom like they used to be?]]
and it will have been the version of that article relating to the current Release.
I think the mention controls relates the fact that the reload and bookmarks star, and the zoom icon if you use it all clearly relate to the individual tab and the redesign makes that easier to understand.
Note that from Firefox 29 the tabs underneath will no longer be an option even from the about:config. I imagine there are or will be addons to customise Firefox so that tabs can be underneath again.
Also note that right clicking a tab gives a list of options including to pin the tab
* [[Pinned Tabs - keep favorite websites open and just a click away]]
*There are also the currently advert free new tabs which are customisable [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]

What are the Mandatory Fields in Transaction ME51

Hello Seniors,
I have a requirement about purchase order creation. In this process, I am using the BAPI named " BAPI_PO_CREATE1 ". I have passed all the fields but when I debug and look into the internal tables, I couldn't find certain records. I even debugged " bapiret2" and I see an error which reads "" All mandatory fields are missing"". I have even created a PO in ME51 and found out the mandatory fields but in vain. BAPIRET2 still says, there are some more mandatory fields missing. I need to know what are all the mandatory fields to create a Purchase order using TCODE - ME51.
Your reply is most awaited and rewarded.
Thanks and Regards,
MARKIV

hi ,
Functionality
Function module BAPI_PO_CREATE1 enables you to create purchase orders. The BAPI uses the technology behind the Enjoy purchase order transaction ( ME21N).
Alternatively, the IDoc type PORDCR1 is available. The data from this IDoc automatically populates the interface parameters of the function module BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
Functionality in Detail
Authorization
The following authorization objects are checked when an Enjoy purchase order is created (activity 01):
M_BEST_BSA (document type in PO)
M_BEST_EKG (purchasing group in PO)
M_BEST_EKO (purchasing organization in PO)
M_BEST_WRK (plant in PO)
Controlling adoption of field values via X bar
For most tables, you can determine via your own parameters in the associated X bar in each case (e.g. PoItemX) whether fields are to be set initial, values inserted via the interface, or default values adopted (e.g. from Customizing or master records) (for example, it is not mandatory to adopt the material group from an underlying purchase requisition - you can change it with the BAPI).
Transfer
Header data
The header data of the Enjoy purchase order is transferred in the table PoHeader.
Item data
The item data of the Enjoy purchase order is stored in the table PoItem (general item data). The delivery schedule lines are stored in the table PoSchedule.
Use the table PoAccount to specify the account assignment information. If account assignments have been specified for services and limits, you show the relevant account assignment line in PoAccount in the table PoSrvAccessValues via the package number of the service or the limit.
Services and limits
Services, free limits and limits with contract reference can be specified in the tables PoServices, PoLimits, and PoContractLimits.
Conditions
Conditions are transferred in the table PoCond; header conditions in the table PoCondHeader. Price determination is reinitiated via the parameter CALCTYPE in the table PoItem.
Vendor and delivery address
The vendor's address can be specified individually in the table PoAddrVendor; the delivery address in the table PoAddrDelivery. If you do not make any individual specification, the fields will be populated via the central address managementfacility.
Note
In this method, the following restrictions apply with regard to addresses:
Addresses can only be created with this method - they cannot be changed. You can only change address data with the method BAPI_ADDRESSORG_CHANGE.
When you create addresses, they are not checked by the method. An Enjoy purchase order may therefore contain faulty address data.
Partner roles
The partners can be maintained individually via the table PoPartner (with the exception of the partner role "vendor").
Import/export data
Import/Export data can be specified per item in the table PoExpImpItem. Foreign trade data can only be transferred as default data for new items.
Texts
Header and item texts can be transferred in the tables PoTextHeader and PoTextItem. Texts for services are imported in the table PoServicesText.
Version Management
You can make use of the Version Management facility via the table AllVersions.
Return
The PO number is returned in the parameter ExpPurchaseOrder. In addition, all information except the service and export/import tables is placed in the output structures.
Return messages
Messages are returned in the parameter Return. This also contains information as to whether interface data has been wrongly or probably wrongly (heuristical interface check) populated. If a PO has been successfully created, the PO number is also placed in the return table with the appropriate message.

The loading bar at the bottom of my Firefox browser has suddenly disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the latest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. I have many add ons and I usually automatically install the recommended updates. This problem has never happened before and switching my browser on and off again does not solve the issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am not sure why this suddenly happened. I think it may have been after my usual updates but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it at all.

Loading Bar? Maybe the URL/address bar where you type sites you want to go to (like www.google.com)? See Navigation Bar below. You may also need to see the first item "Can't see the Menu Bar".
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?
15-Jun-2011 15:15 (in response to sfrommilton keynes)
o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

1. Mainstage - Even though I probably won't use Logic for live performance much, I love how simple, clean, and intuitive the interface looks. I will probably use this when composing as it seems to be one of the easiest ways to route drum pads, create keyboard layers, etc. really quickly, and the interface is very inviting.
2. Delay designer looks really fun. I remember spending 30 minutes once in Sonar trying to get the stupid delay to do a really simple thing. I finally gave up and layered the audio data to make my own delay because it didn't give me enough control to make it happen in the plugin. It looks like I could have just drawn it into the Delay Designer and been done with it.
3. Import from Garageband - Not a new feature, but I love using Garageband as a musical notepad when all I want to do is create something simple or jot down an idea. In this period, I don't need all the features of Logic, but I will eventually, and then I just open it up in Logic and get more advanced.

What are the best archiving methods for small colleges?

Hi Folks,
Im thinking a few terabyte hard drives will be my best option for a hundred dollars each.
We have a small operation here at a New England college with two editing systems that get a good amount of student use and use by myself for college needs. Some of the student work will get deleted at the end of each semester, but I need to save all the college's video.
What are the best ways to archive? Some of my concerns are cost and space. I can afford a few externals, do any of you have a nice cheap solution?
I understand if I am to go the route of archiving on externals I should have a backup of my backup, do any of you guys have any feedback on ghosting your backups, is that common?
thanks
Mike

If it's JUST for backup (not operation), you can get bare drives and either an enclosure for 1 or 2 drives with no tools trays (like the ones from Sansdigital: about $120 for a 1 drive enclosure) or a device like the UltraDock from Wiebetech (I use the latter). Physically install (or connect in the case of Ultradock) a bare SATA II 3.5" drive, connect it via USB 2, Firewire, esata, initialize/erase it, and then copy your files.
Then store the drive carefully in the foil anti-static bag it came in a dry location where it won't get jostled about by errant students (or kids in my house).
The savings in not getting full drive enclosures in the cost of multiple power supplies and interfaces. You pay for that once with the mountable enclosure / drivedock, and thereafter, just buy bare drives.
I also like another reply: have the students provide drives on which to back up their projects. A friend of mine has a ProTools audio studio, and part of his "set up" charge, is $100 for a bare drive that he will archive for 5 years, or the client can take with him at the end of the project (when the bill is paid).

What are the "Add to Loop Library" requirements for creating automatically conforming loops?

I am trying to create my own loops that conform to the tempo and key of a song. I have made several loops in this way by selecting a region that is exactly 4 bars, for example, and then selecting "Add to Loop Library". If the sample is cut correctly, the "Type:" field is enabled which allows you to make it a Loop and therefore have it automatically conform to the song tempo.
In the past I have made loops that were very long, up to 128 beats, for the purpose of making mashups using instrumental tracks that I want to conform to the song. I now can't seem to create a large loop but I am not sure why. I know it is possible, but I don't know the steps I took to get there.
What are the exact requirements that allow a loop to be added to the loop library while also conforming to song key and tempo?

In the past I have made loops that were very long, up to 128 beats
The longest loop I managed to save as "Loop" had 55 measures (220 beats, 203 bpm). Longer loops could only be saved as "One shot". And the loop had to be cut at the end, not simply be trimmed by dragging the end of the region. The tempo matters; for a slow song the loop can only have fewer measures.

System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the diacritical marks and common symbols will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
Shift+Alt will show more.
