What have you found useful after setting up new solutions?

I have a general question about the setup of new solutions in Solution Manager. At Tech Ed, one of the SAP reps mentioned that all of the production systems related to a process should go into one solution. What does that really mean?
We have an ECC system for the financials with some of the reporting being completed in BI? So should I create one solution that includes the ECC-PRD and the BI-PRD system? Or should all of the DEV-QAS-PRD systems be place into one big solution so we can coordinate support packages and transports?
I apologize for such a general question but I wanted to see what others have found useful after setting up their solutions.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Joe,
I am not sure whether I understood your question correctly or not. If you were asking about creating solutions(DSWP), then there are different ways of doing it . I dont know about SAP recommendation though.
One is Creating a solution for each of your PRD,QA and DEV. Create a solution called PRODUCTION and your all production systems into it ( in your case, your ECC PRD and BI PRD ) . The same process for QA and DEV.
Other way is Creating a solution for each landscape i.e create an ECC solution and add your ECC PRD ,DEV and QA into it. BI solution and add BI systems to that.
Thanks

We have 150 iPads at our school. What effective ways have you found to update and download new apps to such a large number of iPads? Can I download different apps to different sub sets of our large group - or must they all have the same apps?

At our elementary school, our 150 iPads are separated into 5 subsets. Can I download different apps to each subset, or must they all have the same apps since they all share the same Apple ID. Some iPads are for grades k-2, and some are for 3-5. I'd like to have the best apps for the different grade levels on the iPads. Currently we have "iPad Carts" to house our iPads in, and could use them to upload and update apps all at once, but don't utilize this function as we have a custom set up for the iPads that is erased each time we update through the carts.

You can configure different set of apps for different groups of ipads.
You need an mdm to do this.

What have you been using with you palm devices?

I have a new macbook and was using my palm tungsten with a PC. What do most of you use, the palm desktop or the mac address book and ical? I know palmdesktop and am considering just keeping that. but with a new mac I feel like taking advantage of its software. I also use 3rd party software for my palm, like epocrates, avantgo, documents to go, etc.
Please, let me know what you find easy to use, what you prefer, and any limitaions.
I like the idea of using the mac address book to use in applications on the mac, like wordprocessing etc..but i don't want things to get complicated with my palm...curently m palm is set up the way I like it......
Any thoughts?

Synchronization is a centralized service under Mac OS X 10.4 unlike what it was in previous releases, but you don't see the 'core' of the Sync Services framework. It appears 'de-coupled' but is actually more highly integrated than ever. What you see is components like iSync and .Mac Sync.
This Apple Developer document explains how the Sync Services framework operates:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
Sync Services is the future of synchronization. Many—if not most—applications which synchronize, now do so using this framework. The Palm Desktop is a notable exception: it is not now (and never will be) Sync Services aware. So moving away from it to the Address Book/iCal/iSync approach, or using the Missing Sync with the Address Book and iCal instead, both make much more sense.
Additionally, the Address Book is integrated into Mail, and if you intend to use mail rather than Entourage, you should synchronize the Address Book using either iSync or the Missing Sync, as there are no explicit links between the Palm Desktop and Mail. You can export Palm Desktop contacts as a vCard file for import into the Address Book, and calendars as a vCal file for import into iCal, but doing so on a regular basis will probably make you slightly crazy.
Mark/Space supplies their Mark/Space Contact, Event and Tasks conduits to work with the Address Book and iCal. They are far more sophisticated and flexible than the iSync Palm Conduit, and support the features of advanced Palm device databases, including contact icons and calendar colors and categories. They also provide conduits for Avant/Go and a conduit and OS X application to synchronize memos, and provide for the synchronization of ePocrates content via internet sharing.
More information about the Missing Sync for Palm OS is available here:

Games on the intel Mac -what have you found that runs the best?

Personally, I'm rediscovering the original Unreal Tournament as that is running at over 70 FPS on the CD Mac. Call of Duty runs really well too and Halo is playable with and average FPS rate of 18. Halo got a little smoother with the boost to 1024 Ram.
Only thing that's annoying me is that my favourite little desktop game APEIRON X runs really jerkily despite using only 7% of the processor

yep the original unreal works very well but does not run at the resolution of the 20"screen just about to try the universal demo version that came out yesterday
any one else tried it ?

Hi The best option is to do a factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs And set up iPad as new. Just use same Apple ID you will get all your Apps & Data back. Do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

IPad 3 light leak under the bezel? What have you done about it?

If you have an iPad 3. Tilt towards you, looking underneath the bezel (under the camera) has your iPad got any lights showing? It's not bleeding onto the screen, in fact it doesn't interfere at all under normal use of the iPad. I have read many forums and it does seem to be quite common,but i would like to know what have you done about it? Have you replaced within 14 days and got a brand new iPad and been satisfied ? Or have you had another with worse or different issues? Or have you ignored the issue and kept the iPad?
I walked into comet and the first iPad 3 I picked up had exactly the same issue. I asked the bloke, he said yes? It's no problem, it's common in led screens and with the iPads new retina screen your bound to get this problem on some but it's no problem as doesn't effect your everyday use. Not the point though is it, we pay 400-579 for this thing!
I also rang apple and they spoke with their technical team and they came back and said the lights under the bezel seems unusual. To try and restore the iPad and see if that solves it. Solves a hardware problem?? How did they get their jobs? Crazy. So now I am in the middle of returning the iPad for a replacement but I am debating whether to even bother as I have read a lot of replacements people have received have numerous other problems, like dead pixels, light leakage, scratches.
I would appreciate any feedback from those who have had this same issue and what did you do about it ?

Mine has some along the right side. It is very slight, and does not affect the screen,even with a black image displayed in a dark room. So I chose to ignore it. This iPad will be going back though, as the bottom half of the screen has a pink tint on it. My advice is to see if it affects a dark picture in a dark room. If it doesn't, I would keep it. But in the end, you have to make your own decision and be comfortable with it. :)

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?

dear oracle,
i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
additional requirement).
but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
need the functionality, that came with webdb??
some impressions:
- starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
- space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
- i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
(until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
It seems, that you have lost the ground!
- saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
- the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
"you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
so, dear oracle,
i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.
regards
rainer

I have tried to open several large PDF docs with Reader DC (although on Windows 7), and they all open instantly.
Two possibilities I can think of:
Are you inside a corporate firewall? If so, make sure that you have access to cloud.acrobat.com
If the above is not the problem, can you try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Oh Nokia, what have you done? (UK)

Oh Nokia! What have you done?
Restricting the Lumia 920 to a single network in the UK is a MAJOR mistake!
Ok, logic states you want to push the 920 via a 4G network, of which there is only one currently but that doesn't mean people will switch to that network.
We all know 4G will come to the other networks and people will buy a phone based on that and a myriad of other factors such as network coverage, customer service, Operating System etc.
So restricting availability to a single network which, to be frank, is not regarded as having the best service or coverage is simply ludicrous.
Yesterday I saw a retailer in the UK offering the 920 SIM Free. Yahoo! I can jump in with an off-contract purchase to supplement my two other Windows Phone 7.5 devices - one of which is also a Lumia (800 in this case, bought on the day of release!).
'Are you sure this is SIM Free and therefore Carrier unlocked?' I ask. 'Yes, all our SIM Free phones are unlocked.' came back the response.
OK, here is my £459 to buy the device....
Imagine my surprise when neither of my O2 SIMs were able to be used but my T-Mobile SIM was!
Call the retailer to be told by the Manager that it was SIM Free and unlocked. Back to shop I go - much testing with many SIMs ensued and a call to Tech Support confirms my suspicions that it was indeed locked to the EE family (EE/T-Mobile/Orange).
'Can I have an unlock code please?' I ask to have the response there are none available. Only option is to refund!
So Nokia, you have lost a sale of your flagship device (and being part of a UK Smartphone community that reviews, tests and supports such devices and users) and I know there is latent demand for it out there but no-one I know wants it on that network and certainly not on the commercial terms on offer where the 4G element is restricted...
The HTC 8X although specification wise maybe not quite close enough to the 920 to be called equivalent is close enough and has such a commercial advantage (read minimum £60 cheaper) and is available SIM Free to be the one to buy if you want a Windows Phone 8 device now.
So much for your loyal customer base who jumped in with Nokia on the release of the Lumia 800, they cannot now go to the 920. The 820 is not flagship and in comparison to the HTC 8x is somewhat lacking ( I had them both in my hands yesterday).
Oh, dear, Nokia, this is hardly likely to help your financial woes when you restrict sales of your flagship device in the UK.
I am happy to engage on this with Nokia UK and even review said device but in reality all I want is to be able to buy the device for personal use.
The Nokia Value Proposition is a strong one compared to the other Windows Phone 8 manufacturers (HTC 8S/X and Samsung Ativ) with the exclusive and attractive software elements but that's only a real value if the device can be obtained otherwise it is irrelevant.
I look forward to Nokia's response.....

Today I phoned t-mobile UK (South African call center???) to order an 920 as an upgrade, I made it quite clear that I wanted the 920, but the customer services advisor was absolutely determined to sell me an iPhone 5, stating the IP5 was a 'much better phone' etc. I was pretty annoyed at this behaviour as he was doing absolutely everything he could to persuade me to buy the IP5. I ended the call without ordering anything.
I eventually managed to order a 920, this time through a UK call centre, it would seem t-mobile UK and orange UK are doing everything in their power NOT to sell the phone, it's not listed on either of their online shops, even though you CAN buy it from them. Initially I was told the 920 wasn't available on t-mobile, even though my friend had got on on t-mobile a few hours earlier, once informed of this, they remembered it was available and allowed me to order.
To me it seems the TMUK and Orange are pushing the EE network at the expense of Nokia. Why, because people are put off by EEs ridiculously high monthly price plans, and TMUK & Orange aren't making it known that you can get it on their network at a much cheaper monthly rate.

Is there a way to "see" what font you're using?

Hi,
I'm a bit new to PAGES. I thought when you turn "Show Invisibles" you would see things like what font you're using . . . if it's bold or underlined or italicized - things like that - you would see these characteristics in the body of the document. So if I were writing a paragraph and changed the font in the middle of it, I could actually "see" a symbol indicating the font had been changed. That way, if you wanted to change it back, you could just delete that "invisible" symbol, and change it.
WORD seems to work like that. Is there a way to "see" these symbold in PAGES?
Thanks,
Larry

Thank you, Barry. At least you've confirmed what I thought
Interesting that WORD (which I hate) does such a nice job in this area. When you want to "see" invisible symbols - WORD shows them all to you. I thought it was nice to see exactly 'where' in the document a different font or style might start - that way you can eliminate it there - or change it there - etc. But PAGES, won't even show you. Wonder why they only show you 'some' invisible files?
Thanks, though, for your reply.
Larry

What have you got in ctx/bin?

Hello,
it may be that something went wrong in the
installation, but should there be an executable file ctxhx in ctx/bin? At least
my sql command "create index index1 on doctest(doc) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('filter ctxsys.inso_filter');"
says so.
What have you got in that file?
Thanks in advance!

What is the expected useful life of a new iMac?

What is the expected useful life of a new iMac?

There are few if any life-limited components in new Macs.
In very approximate terms Macs become unsupported after about five years and functionally obsolete in about seven years. This has held true since about 1984 (my first Mac still works). Buy as much RAM as you can afford.

What have you found useful after setting up new solutions?
