When to switch from LE-TRA to TM?

Hi,
When is it best to switch from the standard Logistics Execution-Transport module to Transportation Management? Where lies the cut-off point and what are the exact numbers regarding this decision? The information on the internet is not sufficient to find exact data on why to switch to TM.
Thank you

Hi,
SAP TM has long completely overshadowed LE-TRA in general with superior usability, process flexibility, very comprehensive transportation planning, execution and charge management and decision support capabilities. It also benefits (unlike LE-TRA) from on-going, strong solution investment.
Here some details that I screened with developers a while back - and since there are more advantages. Perhaps some of these capabilities help your decision:
TM also supports sales-order-based planning / sales order scheduling for earlier transportation planning, booking, subcontracting (LE-TRA is delivery-based only)
TM has a powerful transportation cockpit with interactive, map-based planning, transportation
network & route visualization; drag-and-drop manual planning; automatic zero-click
optimization planning; embedded transportation execution visibility
TM has manual to automated optimization planning. (LE-TRA: manual and semi-automated planning only & no optimization)
TM supports comprehensive constraint-based planning (driving times, equipment requirements, bookings, ...); improved resource allocation (according to weight, volume, transportation units,...); better stage optimization (separate pre-, main and on-carriage planning) & load optimization.
LE-TRA: simple rules-based planning i.e. same start / finish dates
LE-TRA: Route-based planning. No lane-specific planning with distances, and durations.
TM has superior mode-specific planning with mode-specific schedules (truck, ocean, air
freight & rail), mode-specific distance planning (GIS info); and freight prebooking.
TM has strong rules-based carrier determination, selection, tendering and collaboration (TM: has fully and semi-automatic rules-based carrier determination & tendering based on freight agreement, cost,priority, lane allocation, or business share; multiple tendering variants (direct, peer-to-peer, broadcasting); real-time request for quotation monitoring; carrier collaboration (TM collaboration Portal, or web-based UI & mobile application). LE-TRA: no carrier determination logic).
TM supports dynamic, responsive change management (order, delivery, shipment, execution changes)
TM has integrated freight execution visibility, tracking and event reporting
TM: map integration for freight order status, embedded SAP Event Management & Integrated Mobile Solution for carrier transport & event notification; and better
information granularity for cargo management (i.e. cargo loading status), resource tracking...
TM: Inbound & Outbound execution status management
LE-TRA: Outbound-based execution / milestone tracking
TM has enhanced freight agreement management (enhanced validtiy, version and history management,tarif structures, calculation..., as well as strategic freight procurement and selling. LE-TRA: complex table entry, less granularity, poorer version management)
TM has superiror costing & charge management (inter/intra company
costing & revenue distribribution; activity-based costing; condition-based
costing (dangerous goods, bulky goods); profitability analysis)
TM has comprehensive decision support: Dashboards with KPI reporting, embedded analytics, (LE-TRA: Logistics Information System-based > limited report availability)
Best wishes,
Natalie

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

When i switched from windows vista to windows 7 my songs on itunes dont play fully they are cut off even on ipod..any suggestions?

When I switched from windows vista to windows 7 on a new computer my ipod doesnt play songs from itunes fully it cuts them off before they play out entirely. Any suggestions?

Delete the current copy, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
I just updated to the most current version of AE.
I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

Windows Explorer hangs when I switch from InDesign CC to my desktop. Also weird mouse behavior.

I am using a brand new computer running Windows 7 64-bit.
I am also using Adobe CC for the first time. Downloaded InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat last week, and I'm using mostly InDesign so far.
My issue: When I switch from InDesign to, say, check my Outlook in box, sometimes I can't click on anything at all, including "Show Desktop." I am only able to get functionality back by doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del and then cancelling the Task Manager when it appears. Then the mouse forgets that I mouse left-handed, for a few seconds. After that, everything works right.
Anyone else see this issue?
System specs:
Processor: AMD FX 8350 8-core 4.00 GHz
RAM 8 MB
Windows 7 Professional SP1
64-bit OS
Dedicated graphics card with 1 GB memory

RT does work, but the exact same description as the original post is what I observe.
Specifically:
0. using Surface (original) RT
1. added RWW site to Compatibility Mode
2. added RWW to trusted sites
3. installed self-signed cert
then can:
a. log into RWW
b. connect to server desktop - choose server
c. get IE 32-bit only error - click ok
d. get prompted for connection settings
e. get vbscript error
f. back at connect to server desktop screen - choose server again
g. get IE 32-bit only error - click OK
h. get prompted for connection settings
i. get username/password/domain login screen
j. successfully login
I was glad to find this post, because I just figured it didn't work the first time I tried it, and never tried twice in a row. Nice to know I can use my Surface to remote in using RWW when needed.

My ipad 2 camera stop functioning when i switch from back to front? Anyone can help me? i have already restore my ipad2 but the problem is still recurring.

Abelynn-
Does the problem occur in both Camera and Photo Booth Apps? If you run the FaceTime App, does the front camera work?
If the front camera never works, you may have a defective iPad. If you are near an Apple company store, the Apple Store Genius can verify the problem, and may replace it on the spot.
If the front camera works for at least one App, try rebooting the iPad. Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. After a couple of minutes, the iPad will restart. Rebooting will not hurt anything, and may correct your problem.

My norton tool bar has not loaded when I switched from IE to Firefox

My Norton tool bars, for phishing and Identity Safe, disappeared when I switched from IE to Firefox. I reloaded Norton to see if this would help but nothing changed.

You can import the IE Favorites via
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
You can also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

When iCloud switched from MobileMe, 2 accounts got created. How do I merge the 2 accounts

When iCloud switched from MobileMe, 2 accounts got created, How do I merge them? Help. Please

This sounds as if when you migrated from MobileMe, instead of signing in with your MobileMe email address you created a new iCloud account separately. If you want to make use of the data in what was your MobileMe account you have to sign in with it.
You can't merge the accounts, but you having signed in with one in System Preferences>iCloud you can sign in with another, to become the 'secondary account', in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. You can access email and sync Calendars and Contacts here alongside the primary account: mail will not be 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and you cannot use PhotoStream.

Labwindows recompiles files when I switch from the development environment to another application

I am writing a labwindows driver, but having issues with the environment itself. I am able to compile the .c file for the driver, and my panels are working. I am having problems with labwindows recompiling the .c file even though nothing has changed. It is a random problem that I have seen before, but never managed to get around. The problem shows up in a variety of instances.
I.E. While in interactive execution, I can click on another application on the taskbar (internet explorer, email, etc.) and labwindows displays a message that the c file is being recompiled. Nothing in the file changed! Why does it try and recompile when it is simply losing focus? This is 'random'. Just when I think I have found a way to reliably reproduce the issue, it quits recompiling when I switch applications. I have tried playing with the build options, but haven't had any repeatable success. I even tried to enable the -o option, but is still recompiles the file. (maybe -o won't work on a driver since it won't build without a main?) I have even had issues with calling printf in a function during interactive execution. It recompiles the c file for no apparent reason right after the stdio window prints the message. At this point, the stdio window closes, and labwindows pops up the compiling message again. It kills my interactive session, and I have to redeclare all of my variables to continue checking out my driver.
I see the same issue randomly when I go back to the project from another application. (Click on labwindows in the taskbar, and it immediately compiles the c file.)
I have seen this in other projects, and it appears that the issue is limited to instrument drivers. When labwindows pops up the message that it is compiling files it is almost always a driver that is loaded as an instrument. I played with unloading the instrument but leaving the .fp in the project, but I don't think that worked. (It has been awhile since I tried to figure this out.) When working on a driver, it would be difficult to unload the .fp or not load the instrument anyway.
(I just clicked on labwindows in the taskbar to see if I left anything out. Labwindows popped up the message that it was compiling the c file. It appears that I can go back and forth between the labwindows icon in the taskbar and the cvi icon ~15-20 times and then labwindows will recompile the file. I even walked away from my computer for a couple of minutes, and it compiled when I came back and clicked on the labwindows icon.)
I am running labwindows 9.1 (but have seen this on 8 also)
The files are on a network drive.
(Could it be mcaffee or some network security stuff confusing labwindows?)

My pc is currently running Windows XP sp3.
I first saw this issue when I went from LabWindows 7.1? to 8.1? I am sure that I had the issue in 8.1
I was able to reproduce the issue in production on a pc running windows 2000. (Which is what I had at my desk previously, and had seen the issue.)
I asked another member of the test engineering group, and I am not the only one seeing the issue.
One of the earlier replies mentioned the auto save feature. When I went to production to see if I could reproduce the problem there, I opened CVI and explorer. I wanted to check the time-date stamp on the .c file that keeps recompiling. The time-date stamp was a day old, and did not change when the period of time for auto save was passed. (It probably would if I made changes but didn't save the file?) I was able to switch back and forth between the explorer window and cvi, and the file would recompile. I played with turning off the auto save, enabling the build status window, making the -o option compatible with cvi 5.0, displaying the build status column, etc. It appeared at one point that it had quit recompiling when switching between applications. I went back to my desk, and tried to match the settings, but never reached the same conclusion.
There is not anything special about the project I am working on. It is a labwindows driver for a pxi module. There are only three files in the project, the .c .h and .fp. The .c file keeps getting recompiled at seemingly random times. It is especially frustrating during interactive execution while testing my code/function panels. If I switch to another application and back, I almost always have to start over because compiling the file closes the interactive execution. I have to redeclare all of the variables, and re-run any of the setup panels that are required. (I have to open the DRM, load the module fpga/dac, and then I can run the panel I am actually trying to test.) I have similar problems when trying to troubleshoot with printf statements, as it seems to recompile when focus switches to the stdio window. I have resorted to a test project, where I can add the function calls and skip having to do any work via interactive execution.
I haven't been able to find anyone outside of where I work reporting the same issue. Maybe it has something to do with IT/viruscan/etc. It is definately a strange issue.
(I have switched back to CVI several times while writing this, and the .c filed recompiled about 20% of the time. At one point, I had left the build options dialog open when switching back and forth. I did not change any options, but the .c file recompiled when I closed the options window?)
Occasionally, when I see what appears to be the recompile message flash up, my interactive execution does not halt. I.E. I don't have to redeclare my variables. It is sometimes hard to see what the message says, you just see a dialog box pop up and disapear really quickly.

With multiple inboxes, when I switch from one to another the inbox view is at the top rather than where I was when I switched to the other. This is new.

One inbox is a pop inbox with many messages in it. The other is an imap inbox. If I am working at say, message 2000, in the pop inbox, then switch to the imap inbox, and later switch back to the pop inbox, the inbox view is inconsistent. If there is a new message in the pop inbox when I switch back, the view starts with the newest messages including the new message. If I switch to the imap inbox and no more messages arrive in the pop inbox while I am working the imap inbox, when I switch back to the pop inbox the view starts at the oldest message (in my case #1 of 4900 - requiring a long scroll to get to the newest messages). This behavior is new in the version I am using (24.6.0) on a Mac (10.9.3) so apparently an update changed it. I'd like to always return to the bottom (newest) message when switching to the pop inbox, so if there is a preference setting for that, please let me know, I couldn't find one. Otherwise please fix it.

The first part of this response is regarding the volumn of emails int he Inbox folder. I'm writting about this (although it is not your query) because I would not like to think you could lose all your emails.
I would strongly recommend that you do not save all of your pop emails in the Inbox folder, as it is designed to be an Inbox for incoming mail and not a general store.
You may see a folder in the FolderPane, but in reality your emails are stored in mbox files. Emails are downloaded and stored one after the other in the order downloaded. So, at this moment, you have one single mbox text File with all of your Inbox emails written one after the other into a single document.
Recommend you create some folders and manage your emails.
After sorting them out, you could compact the Inbox to remove any 'marked as deleted' emails.
When you delete an email, from your point of view it goes from Inbox to Trash. In reality it is still in the Inbox, 'marked as deleted', so it is still using space. When you compact your Inbox it removes those 'marked as deleted' emails.
If any corruption occurs in that file eg; TB cannot detect the end of a 'marked as deleted' email, then it may end up deleting a load of emails.
So I would not compact (a task that should be done on a regular basis) until you have organised your emails into other folders:
See info on how to maintain a healthy Thunderbird and compacting - why it is so important.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_-_Thunderbird
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders
'''Re; List of emails - view the recent incoming mail.'''
I would advise you have the most recent at the top, then you do not need to scroll. This option works in much better way for instantly locating new mail.
Click on the 'Date' column header to reverse the order.

Data network errors when manually switching from 3g to 2g

Hi everyone,
Apologies if this has been posted before but im running out of ideas! - Got my iphone 4 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a rather irritating problem with it. For some reason, if i manually switch from 3g to 2g the data connection drops.. I get 'cannot activate cellular data network' errors and i have to toggle airplane mode on/off to reset the connection. Is this a network issue? - I live in London and am with Vodafone... Their tech support are useless as all they suggest is resetting the phone or getting it replaced. Its my third handset in 2 weeks and im getting close to calling it a day and sending the phone back to Apple. Anyone out there in a similar situation? - Advice??

Bump
So no-one has suffered this issue? - Not even fellow vodafone uk users?
