What is the right choice ?

Dear all,
I am on SAP R/3 4.7 Ext 2.
All my custum forms are written in 3 ways:
1) Pure Sapscript
2) Outside SAP with a third part product called "Adobe Output Central Pack" ( in the past was Accelio and previous again Jetform )
3) In a mixed way of the previous two ways
I don't like to depend on "Adobe Output Central Pack" for a lot of reasons so I tried in the past to push my company on convert all the forms with Smartform in order to bring all inside SAP. But "Adobe Output Central Pack" was a big economic effort and also the Smartform conversion has been evaluated as a big effort with few benefits.
Now I read about Interactive Forms and also Adobe people spoke to me about another product called Livecycle Form.
In your opinion what is the right way to choose ?
Is Smartform already history ?
Now people ask for printed forms, pdf files and so on.
I thougth that smartform was the solution.
Does I need in any case a third part product in order to save time and money and have good results ( This is what my company ask us everyday ) ?
Than you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards
Mauro Fallavollita

Hi Mauro,
just a couple of clarifications to add.
Interactive Forms ist a cooperation of SAP and Adobe, and the features and functions shipped by SAP are a subset of what Adobe offers with their stand-alone products from the LiveCycle family, which is why Adobe would position those products separately from the SAP integration. So while we include third-party software, because we believe it is currently the best possible solution, SAP is your contact for any issue around the Interactive Forms solution.
Smart Forms and SAPscript as the legacy tools for non-interactive forms will continue to be shipped by SAP so that all existing forms will continue to run as before. That means Smart Forms is not history.
Naturally, with the increasing use of Interactive Forms for interactive scenarios (something you can't do with Smart Forms or SAPscript), you may reach the point where you ask yourself whether it makes sense to consolidate all your forms in one technology.
The goal of the integration of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer into SAP was to make the form design faster and easier. From SAP-internal experience (about 200 developers have worked with the solution), I can say that it does save time and money once you are familiar with the way the tool works.
Kind regards,

MacBook Air: the right choice for a College student?

Hello there!
I'm buying my first Apple laptop in the near future (probably tomorrow as I like to buy things in store and not online and I live roughly 75 miles from the nearest Apple store and am heading to the mall it's located in on a shopping trip tomorrow, anyway). I currently have a 3 year old Dell that has no battery life at all (it has to be connected 24/7 to an outlet, the mouse clicky button doesn't work, it overheats, and the hardrive has already been replaced not once but twice) and I don't use it for anything other than school, facebook, watching movies via netflix, skype, and listening to music. I've been doing months of research and all has lead me to Apple.
I want this laptop to last me until I am done with my masters and into the first couple years of my teaching career, so roughly 6 years. Is that too much to ask from this machiene?
I'm inlove with the thiness, lightness and portability of the Macbook Air. I use my laptop a lot, this semester I'm finishing out my core requirements and a lot of them are "bullsh*t" classes where I can do nothing and get an A. I would therefore have my laptop with me, I also bring it to friends rooms to study and relax. My goal is to have a laptop that I can write papers, continue to watch movies and use it as a basic machiene. I barely use a cd drive (my aunt is willing to by the drive that goes with the Air) but when I do it's just for burning music to my itunes. I want a machiene that will have a long lasting battery life - that's my biggest concern.
My roomate has a Macbook Pro and keeps telling me that I'd hate the Air.
I've read that people do not like it as it does not have a backlit keyboard. That doesn't bother me as my keyboard currently isn't backlit.
I've also read that people continue to prefer the pro over the air but I am not a fan of the pro just as it is so much bigger.
I barely ever use my USB drive, when I do its to transfer over files that need to be printed. So having only two of them means nothing to me really.
I'm just looking for assistance to help me make my decision. I feel like I already made it but I just want to be sure that I'm making the right choice.
My personal pros/cons:
Pros: lightweight, small, highly portable, amazing webcam, excellent battery life
Cons: it's so thin I feel like I would snap it in two pieces
Thank you so much!

Listen to us, Lovekate!
We know you're eager, but hold out just a little longer--maybe a week or two--for the update! Please! It's the smart thing to do because it may give you options you can use. Kate! Look away from the machines. This way! This way! You can do this. If you don't, you'll feel buyers remorse and that's not good. Hold off. You'll be happy you did...also, don't forget, when you do buy, you get a student discount.
From what you say, you've found the computer you love and don't need any encouragement from us. But here's advise for what you can say to your friends:
(1) To those telling you to get the Pro--you are not going to buy more than you need. With Clouds, and online mail and external hard drives, there is no need for you to haul around anything made heavy with a huge hard drive you'll never fill up. And the Air can do anything a Pro can do excepting update to a bigger hard drive (which you've just explained you don't need--like you don't need the CD drive). And the 13" actually has a longer lasting battery than the 13" Pro.
(2) Why should you get a computer you don't love, and therefore is no fun or joy for you to work on, rather than a computer you love, which you will love working on? Apple rule, "Always get what you love."
(3) To your Dad, you are buying something very like a car. And like a car, if you buy one cheap, it will cost you if it breaks down, needs repairs, or needs replacing. Needing to buy a new cheap car every other year can add up to the same cost as buying a new car that will last you ten years. You are buying a computer that will last you, be reliable, and not need repairs thus interfering with your productivity (by the way, get Apple Care--adds two more years warranty for a total of 3 years--trust us on this. If you can't afford it now, you can hold off buying it till the end of the first year, but do get it!). Apple computers also have good resale value.
In short, as much as it costs, it will be worth it.
Hope that helps, and remember...hold out! or if you've already bought it--you have 14 days to return it.

What JVM do you use? What is the best choice?

We may be rolling forward Discoverer 10.1.2 sometime in the near future. The current release uses Sun J2RE 1.4.2-06. There is a J2RE 1.4.2-09 available, as well as JRE 5.0 Update 5. Deploying JVMs is a pain when potentially hundreds of PCs are involved, and I'm sure there will be a version of Discoverer sometime in the future will prefer a different JVM.
What's the best choice, which JVM is supported & solid with the existing 10.1.2 release as well as potential future releases?

Hi,
the plus works as standard with J2RE 1.4.2-06. Right, but that isn' a must cause you can change that.
Oracle said this:
"Dynamic Versioning for SUN Plug-in is a standard Sun feature and is described at Sun website:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#in-ie
The changes documented are not supported by Oracle. While the changes documented have been tested on a limited number of platforms, these changes are provided without any claims to their accuracy"
The solution is easy:
1. Under the path ...\discoverer\config from App-Server you find the 'configuration.xml' file
2. Open this file and search for 'jvm name' for 'sun'
3. Change the classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0004-ABCDEFFEDCBA" (static versioning ! ) through this classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" (dynamic versioning !!) and save the file
4. Restart the discoverer App-Server - ready
From now the Plus will use every version above J2RE 1.4.2-06 and only if there is an older version he will download his own version.
We tested this with several versions 1.4.2-xx and with JRE5-3. It works.
Regards
Norbert

The right choice

hey, i have been reading around this site a. Is there no live chat at all for support or sales to discuss the best solution?? anyway.. i need some help making the right choice and setup with skype for my small business.
There is two employees currently, we would like to have our own company number so we dont have to use our personal mobile numbers. if i am out of the office or just in general i can forward the calls to my mobile, or turn on the answering machine.I understand skype can do this.
is my undertsanding correct for the following-->
1--Me and my business partner both download skype for business.
2--One of us downloads skype manager ( or is it a cloud thing?)
3--Skype manager then adds both of our "skype for business" accounts to the skype manager
4--Manager can then allocate funds
5-- we both use skype for business as normal
Q--how do i use skype business or skype manager, and have the premium membership etc., and what would this cost me per month ( australian)
Q--how does a skype phone number work when you have two employees?
Q--Are the skype numbers associated to the business account or the skype manager account
Q--do i even need skype manager for just two employees when really only one person will
make most of the calls.
I may have this understanding wrong, and maybe someone can tell me a more effecient way for my small business to set up skype etc?
thanks for the help

Hi Martin
With all you've said, the only advice I can give you is "go ahead"!
You already know what to expect. Max out the RAM, and you should be set.

Is Netweaver the right choice?

We have recently upgrading our portal/webdynpro server to NW 7.0 Support Stack 14 (J2EE only). While this stack level fixed some issues that we were having (in particular cleanup of JCO pools to prevent expired SSO ticket errors) it also introduced some other problems with Oracle. This has led us to the discussion of whether Netweaver is the right choice for our custom application development environment. I'm posting this to get some feedback on what other companies are doing with their Netweaver enviroments. I'm particularly interested in custom application development using webdynpro and the Netweaver Portal.
We've been running various permutations of the Netweaver platform since 2005 (BI, Portals, and now ERP). We are using a single J2EE instance to host the SAP EP, a custom jsp "intranet", and our webdynpro apps (we have 6 custom webdynpro apps). Our user base is somewhere between 150-250 users. We use the portal to access these custom apps, our BW web templates, and some SAP transactions. With the rolllout of some of these custom apps, our portals environment is now becoming mission critical and we seem to continue to have problems with the stability of the J2EE engine on the portal machine.
Are other customers having stability problems with NW04s? Are other customers using web dynpro and SAP's enterprise portal for Mission Critical applications? If so, what do your environments look like? If not, what are you using for custom applications that communicate with SAP and other systems?
Thanks for any and all input
Eric

Assuming your legacy apps don't need to update the new OM system an MDB sounds reasonable. You may want to consider passing the messages as XML and using a library (JAXB/P, castor etc) for parsing / inserting into a database.
You should also work out how to handle technical failures updating the legacy database and poison messages (i.e. when an invalid message is received). You may decided to automatically retry technical failures a set number of times before moving them to a backout queue. There's no point retrying poison messages as they'll repeatedly fail, but you may need to fix / manually insert them.

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model?

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger. A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

What are the right names for the 2 OHS?

Hi,
Currently we have 2 options for an HTTP Web Server for APEX:
- An Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) from the database companion CD.
- An Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) from the Oracle Application Server.
The first OHS is based on Apache 1.3.x and the second on Apache 2.0.x.
What are the right way to reference them so people know what your are talking about? In the manuals they are just called OHS but since they are not the same I would like to distinguish them some way. What do you call them?
Regards Pete

OK now I think got it:
OHS from the database companion CD and from the Application Server are both based on an Apache 1.3.x HTTP server.
On the Oracle Application Server companion CD is an OHS based on an Apache 2.0.x HTTP server. This release does not contain the mod_plsql module an can therefor not be used for APEX.

What's the right way to delete an entire backup ?

I've had two Macs doing wireless Time Machine backups to one Time Capsule.
Question: I got rid of one Mac, and want to delete its backup entirely (but leave the other computer's backups untouched). What's the right way to do it?

Bob Timmons wrote:
Jespes, welcome to the discussions!
Open your hard drive. Your Time Capsule icon should appear under the SHARED heading.
Click on the Time Capsule and a folder will appear to the right.
Double click the folder and you should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that has been backing up.
Click on the xxxxx.sparsebundle file that you want to delete to highlight it and then click the gear shaped icon just above. Select Move to Trash. (Do not drag the file to the Trash as this will not work).
Be careful, as the file will be deleted instantly and you will not be able to retrieve it.
many thanks!

What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

H All:
What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
(Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler from firing.
Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the below error.
// Below code fails with
// 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
//   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn. So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
There must be a better way(?).
Thanks
            import fl.controls.DataGrid;
            import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
           // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not fill the space tor the datagrid.
            myDataGrid.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
            var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes");
            c1.width = 90;
            c1.cellRenderer = CenterAlignCell;
            c1.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);

What is the right way to display a table in Java web dynpro using a node.

Hi experts,
I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro. In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
Thanks and Regards.

Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows
Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
Now coming to final solution :
For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

What is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging?

what is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging.
is it connect the magsafe connector first before plugging the adapter to the outlet? or the way around? or both ways will do?
what if i'm using a surge protection with a on/off button, can I just turn the surge protector extension on and off without disconnecting the magsafe connector and adapter plug from my laptop when i'm not using it?
thank you very much

If there is any arcing it may be because the adapter is dirty. It is best to plug in the wall wart then attach the magsafe to the MacBook. As GfulDedFan mentioned this reduces the chance of power surging the MacBook. I have done mine this way since he day I bought it and have never had an arc. I keep it clean to reduce the chance of this happening. The following will help in the care of your supply.

if this is the input structure then FCC goes like this ....

Body.endSeparator - 'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths 10,20,30.(based on you are structure fixed lengths)
Trailer.endSeparator - 'nl'
We might have to try out SubBody.endSeparator - 'nl' if Body.endSeparator - 'nl' does not insert a new line after each body record.
