What's the purpose of a "Guest" Folder in Users?

I downloaded Yosemite without a hitch even though I have a very slow DSL line (took about 11 hours) but am puzzled by the appearance of a "guest" folder, whose contents I cannot access, in my Users folder. What's the point? I do not allow guests to use my Mac or access it by WiFi. So can I get rid of the **** thing?

Since I installed Yosemite, whenever I sign in as a Guest User I am asked to provide my Keychain Password, which I do. Then when I launch Safari I am asked for another keychain password and it is never accepted. Then I select "Cancel" and I can go into Safari.
How do I get this eliminated. I have no knowledge of creating a Safari Password and I can't find one in my Keychain library.
Thanks

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

I simply never use it - but then again I haven't used the Dock for anything either sice slighty before the stone age. Many years ago I discovered LaunchBar ( http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html ) which does all my launching and a whole lot more too, for app switching I use Liteswitch X ( http://www.proteron.com/ ) which adds more bang to the Command-tab switcher, including Force Quit and along with Default Folder ( http://stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/ ) they are literally the first things I install on a new Mac.
But they are not for everybody. I drive by keyboard, some folks are happier using the mouse. Choice is the point.

What is the purpose of IA32.api plugin and how to disable it.?

Hello,
We have an issue with this plugin in our company.
This plugin is making IE Crash.
I would like to properly disable this to workaround the issue.
Questions:
1°) What is the purpose of this plugin? i heard it's about AutoUpdate, is this true? if so i suppose disabling AutoUpdate should suffice.
2°) I know the trick to rename the IA32.api file within the plugins folder but it seems like it make Adobe Reader more unstable. So i think this is not a proper way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
-Benjamin

Our application uses Internet Explorer with the default PDF viewer as Adobe Reader to display PDFs. The html just specifies "open file xxx.pdf" and the default viewer is invoked. This works fine and the user closes the PDF when done and goes on his way. But we see a lot of errors where our application registers a crash, and when the crash dump is analyzed the crash is below:
another Module attempted to call the following unloaded Module: IA32.api or AcroPDF.dll
As I can see in the forums this has been an issue with Adobe reader for several years. Is there any solution or work around for this? We are about to lose a major account due to the frequent crashes in Adobe that look as if they came from our application.

What is the purpose of Additional Group Base in the settings of AD plugin

Hi everybody,
We have some trouble when searching for NTFS files. (10.1.8.1. Windows 2003)
The involved user is authorized by a group in Active Directory to view the files but OSES can'nt find any. The user, who crawled the source, works fine when searching.
What is the purpose of Additional Group Base in the settings of the AD identity plugin ?
regards
Rainer

By default users/groups available in the Users folder are alone searched, so inorder for the user/group to be searched in a different Org Unit, the additional group/user base parameter can be used

What's the purpose of a CUSTOMIZE install of iLife 08?

So over the weekend I upgraded to iLife 08 on my machine. I wanted everything except Garageband. So I selected custom install from the options. I checked everything I wanted and made sure I did NOT check Garageband. It even said SKIP next to it. So I proceeded with the install of the other apps and low and behold a little while later I looked at the screen and it said GarageBand content being installed!
Does this thing have a mind of its own?! What is the purpose of a custom install if its going to put apps on that I don't want any way?
Sure enough when it was all done, I opened my applications folder and Garageband was in there. I have Soundtrack Pro and have no need for Garageband.

DVX100Shooter,
It is very possible that you inadvertently caused Garageband to be "checked" when closing the category under which it falls. In the "Customize" interface, items are included in sub-lists that are opened and closed using the "disclosure triangles." Individual items can be enabled or disabled with their own check boxes, or the entire sub-list can be enabled or disabled using the check box for that list.
What I am getting at here is that it is relatively easy to mistakenly enable a list heading, perhaps when closing the disclosure triangle, thereby enabling the items in the list. I've done this myself when navigating these dialogues.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

What is the purpose of Destination Function on Submit Button?(Doesn't work)

Hi Gurus,
There is a property "Destination Function" on Submit buttons.

Without the open/close connection element, it still work correctly. I am writing values in the server thru event stucture.I do not need any buffered reading or writing. What will happen if I didnt not use the open/close connection? Maybe it may cause some problems in my program which i didnt realise?
And I have attached an example of my program. Thanks

Hi YehChia,
I was talking about something like that:
1. Not good. since with every iteration the DS connection needs to be opened and closed.
2. Good. Since you open the connection only once then do the reads and close it afterwords.

IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?

What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.

For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.

OIM: What is the purpose of "Update" while editing group memberships

Hi,
This is when you lookup a user's Resource Profile and go to "Edit" link. The process form shows up along with a drop down to edit the group memberships. When we select one of the choices such as "Groups" another window pops up where we could add more entires into the child form. In this form there is an "Update" column with a radio button besides a "Remove" column. What is the purpose of this "Update" column? We can add or delete child entries but what does update do? Is there a way to remove this selection altogether?
Thanks in advance

Update I can see used for a cases where you have multiple columns on a child table entry and want to change one of them. Strictly speaking, you can update a single column child table rather than delete and insert also. Access policies always do insert and delete actions, but you will want to implement an update task as well if you expect anyone to be editing child tables on resources directly.

What is the purpose of Multiproviders???

Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to create a multiprovider.
I have read the SAP documentation but I still do not understand in what circumstances should I create a multiprovider for reporting.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide details on what is the purpose of multiproviders?
Assuming I have the following scenario, should I create a multiprovider for reporting?
Infocube A:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
- Shift Type
Key Figure
- Hours
Infocube B:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
Key Figure
- Amount
I need to report on both the key figures for each employee and what is the shift type of the employee for the specific cal month/year. The employee number, cal month/year and shift type will be used as selection parameters.
I am thinking of creating a multiprovider for this reporting need but I think there will be some problems.
For example:
1) If I input the employee number and shift type as selection parameters, the amount column will be empty when the report is displayed.
2) If I input on the employee nunmber, then I'll be able to see both the key figures when the report is displayed but the data are on different lines which does not make sense to users.
Emp ID   Shift Type    Cal Mth/Yr   Hours     Amount
200001   Shift         05.2006       10
200001   Not assigned 05.2006                 1000
Only if I don't show the shift type column, then the record will be display in a single line.
How can I rectify such a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Hi,
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Multiprovider - used when we want to report on chracteristics and keyfigures that are in different data targets.

What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?

Hi
I have a query related to the Output type .
What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?
And where shall we code for a new requirement and also what shall we code in it?
Thanks

Requirement Use
If the requirement is fulfilled (SY-SUBRC = 0), then output determination also takes into consideration output type or the access sequence, for which the requirement has been specified.
Output determination:
An object that checks whether the application data (for example, data determined in Customizing) corresponds to the condition records.
If this is the case, one or several messages are "found," which can then be processed (for example, sent electronically).
The condition records are searched for according to a predefined hierarchy in message determination.
After defining a new requirement no say 604 for billing pricing procedure and activating it, the standard sap system creates a routine with the no: 604 specifically for billing. So the name of the program automatically created by SAP will have the naming convention something like RV64A604. then you need an access key to go to the change mode for writing any logic. Then just put a break-point and then execute VF01 or VF04, then the cursor position directly goes into this routine, where the pricing structures KOMK and KOMP have the visibility. So based on the values flowing inside this structures, you can probably code that suites the business requirements.
there are some useful transactions like VOFM for maintaining the requirements and formulaes for a pricing procedure.
For viewing the requirements in the procedure you can also go to V/08 transaction.

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask?

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask in the layer panel when creating shape layers with a shape tool? I'm just curious when locking or unlocking the solid color layer and its vector mask can make a difference.

I don't understand what you said and your shape layer looks different then mine using CS5.
When the chain is deselected, I can't do anything with the move tool on the shape layer. This is the only difference I can find. Making the solid color uniform or not doesn't change anything.
Your example shows that you moved the position of the solid color, how did you do that? I can create a solid color layer and change its uniform look by applying an effect like gradient but I can't move the solid color itself around. How is this possible?

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

Hi Kishore,
Let me clarify you. First it is not new GL account but the New GL functionality.
With the introduction of MySAP ERP 2004, SAP introduced also a new functionality with SAP Financials. This functionality is given the name New General Ledger Accounting, or NewGL.
The new GL functionality has many uses like
Supports different reporting purposes: Legal entity reporting, segment reporting, management reporting;
Option to expand standard accounting with industry specific fields and customer-defined fields;
There is a new standard field segment in mySAP ERP: A segment is typically derived from a profit center (PC); it can be filled manually or defaulted recommonded for segment reporting.
You can search the forum for more info on new GL
