When will Alpha conversion happen

Hi Gurus,
When will Alpha conversion take place if Infoobject has ALPHA as convers routine.
After loading to Infoobject right? Not in PSA.
Thanks Gurus.

Hi,
If conversion exist at definition of info object then it will hapeen at the time of extraction, else it will happen after PSA means where we definied like TR or UP.rules.

When will the fix happen?

I just got a new nano, and I must be on version 8.0 to use it. After reading all of the problems that everyone is having (and trying to install 8.0 a while back and failing with the error message that everyone seems to be getting) can anyone tell me when this is going to get fixed? My old nano got the white screen of death, and I am anxious to use my new one! Thanks!

Keep in mind that MILLIONS of people have downloaded iTunes 8 & installed it without issues and are using it right now. The posts you see here are but a small fraction of the total installed base and groups like this are designed to discuss problems. So of course it is going to look like everyone has issues, but in reality most people do not.
Back up your library and then go for it, download & install iTunes 8.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

You need to have xlsm where you can access the macro in numbers. this is frustrating that the idea of Numbers is to make it like Excel yet you dont have this capability. Question is, when will it happen or will it happen????

Hi brev,
Several points here:
1. Although there is some compatibility between Numbers and Excel files, I doubt very much that "the idea of Numbers is to make it like Excel." The two applications share some similarities, but also have several differences.
2. Your Question is unanswerable in this forum. Apple does not generally reveal future development plans or schedules for its applications, and anyone with knowledge of those plans will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement.
3. "You need to" implies a feature request. If you want to request that a feature be added to a future version of Numbers, that request is better made directly to Apple, via the Feedback channel, than here, where the readers and responders are all users of the software, not developers. From the application menu (the "Numbers" menu in Numbers), choose Provide Numbers Feedback, then make your request for a feature to be added to Numbers.
Meantime, if you absolutely need the macros capabilities of MS Excel, try one of the Office clones—OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice, which may offer macro support, or use the Mac version of Excel itself.

Barry

Why isn't Photoshop fully optimized for the Mac Pro (Late 2013), and when will this happen?

On the new Mac Pro (late 2013):
Currently, Photoshop CC 2014 seems to lag behind iMacs and Macbook Pros (even older ones) for some tasks.
I assume that this issue is related to either multi-core processing but seems more likely to be a problem with the ATI GPUs not being optimized as the Nvidia GPUs are.
Why is this the case, and when will this be addressed?
Any feedback from Adobe official would be appreciated.
Thanks

That's what it suggests to you, in the limited scope of your vision and knowledge, and without your having provided detailed specs about your hardware.
Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details.
We don't even know what your specific issues are, and for all we know you may be running the pathetic, buggy Yosemite OS—which Apple is giving away for free.
In this case, you have been enormously fortunate in that you received a reply from none other than Gµrµ Chris Cox, a top Adobe engineer who has been writing Photoshop code since the last millennium.
It's hight time you drop the attitude and avoid further embarrassing yourself in a public forum. Just my two cents.

I'm sure you get this alot...but when will it happen...?

My question is when will Palm introduce or implement the same call block technology mode used in these phones Palm OS 5, Palm Centro, Treo 650, Treo 680, Treo 700p and Treo 755p for the new family of plam prodcuts...Palm, Plam Pre, Plam Pixi and Palm Pre Pixi? It is long overdue and with such a high customer interest and demand...I would have thought something in the works would come to pass by now? Inquiring minds want to know...
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

There is no info. on this type of feature at this time.

Customer Alpha Conversion

Hi All,
I have customer ID's being used from sales data(DataSource ), GL data (Attribute of 0PROJECT), Cost for Controlling (Routine which picks the same table of 0PROJECT).
I have checked this table /bi0/PProject here I see the customers having values such as 00000R1010, 00000R4000 when these should be R1010, and R4000.
0CUSTOMER is a CHAR 10 Field with ALPHA.
Customer numbers with just numeric values are correct while customer numbers starting with charecter i.e. (R) is having the problem.
All suggestions are appreciated.
Kind Regards
James

hi,
The Alpha conversion will only work for Numeric values, for Alpha numeric values it does not do anything.
The data in IO 0PROJECT is being loaded from the R/3 system and the values itself are coming with appended zeros in the beginning. You can write the ABAP code in the transformation to 0PROJECT to delete the leading zeros while loading customer values in 0PROJECT.
SHIFT CUSTOMER LEFT DELETING LEADING '0' .
This will delete leading zeros and store values in 0PROJECT as R4000
regards,
Arvind.

ALPHA conversion error in Crystal and MDXTEST

Hello Experts,
I've a BW query which is running fine without errors But when a cross tab report is created in Crystal, we get the below error upon execution:
"Characteristic value xxx of Characteristic ZXX is not ALPHA converted"
The same error when run in MDXTEST.
The InfoObject ZPRFTCTR and all its nav attribs has got ALPHA conversion enabled. Also, I am doing alpha conv in my expert routine of this infoobject.
RSRV checks show no errors.
No error while accessing data from cubes in BW.
This error is only in Q and P not in D.
I've re-activated Infoobject and transformation and transported to Q then reloaded the master data but still the same error.
Have you guys faced this issue before? What could be causing this error. Please help.

Hi,
as this error also shows up in transaction MDXTEST it clearly indicates that the issue is already happening in the BW stack without the involvement from the SAP BusinessObjects tools.
I would suggest you post your question into the SAP BW Forum.

InfoObject - Alpha Conversion

We have a custom InfoObject INNUM (Invoice Number) in BW 3.0B. It is defined as CHAR 10. Many of our customers send invoice numbers with leading zeros. We need to store and retrieve these invoice numbers as sent.
Unique invoice numbers are as follows:
123
00123
0000123
I have tried 2 options:
With Alpha Conversion the numbers are padded with leading zeros to length 10. They can then be retrieved and displayed as 123, without any leading zeros.
Without Alpha Conversion the numbers are padded with leading zeros to length 10 but can only be retrieved by searching with all leading zeros in the search string (0000000123).
Is the Alpha Conversion functioning as advertised? Is there a way to store, retrieve, and report on the invoice numbers as sent by our suppliers without adding leading zeros?
Best regards,
Mike

It depends on the realeases: in fact to Upgrade to 3.x it was NECESSARY to carry out a massive ALPHA Conversion (so as to remore previous conversion errors). A BW installation born in 3.x (not Upgraded from 2.x) could still have some APLHA problem.
With Aplha it seems to work right (from what you say), without NO! Without Alpha if you store the follwing values:
123
00123
0000123
each of them sholud be retrieved ONLY with the necessary leading zeros (so 123, 00123, 0000123) ... You say that "can only be retrieved by searching with all leading zeros in the search string (0000000123)": this is unusual. In fact if you store 123 on a CHAR 10 InfoObject you will see in S Table /BIC/SINNUM the same value "123" and NOT "0000000123". When attempting with NO Alpha Conversion did you deleted the InfoObjects value?
Hop it helps

Leading zeros without ALPHA conversion

Hi all,
we had an infoobject CHAR16 with ALPHA exit, after further analysis we realized that we had to save the field without without trailing zeros so what i've done was to modify the char deleting the ALPHA exit.
I test in DEV this change and the field was populating correctly in the datastore object, for example:
Before
3455 -> 0000000000003455
After
3455 -> 3455
Now i've transported this change in production but it doesn't seem to work, after reloading a chunk of data it's still applying the ALPHA conversion to the field: i've also checked the PSA and i've got the right value.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Stefano

Stefano,when you remove the alpha conversion from the infoobject then it might create some inconsistencies while loading data and also in reading the value.
Lets say firstly you loaded the data to object with Alpha conversion so value got stored like this :
3455 -> 0000000000003455
Now when you remove the Alpah conversion then value get stored as
3455 -> 3455
System will treat the above entries as two separate records and not single record.Check in system as well.
To display the data correctly you need to enter the value as they are like one with leading zeros and one without then you may be able to see both the records.
Hope this gives an idea.

ALPHA Conversion Exit Problem

Hi,
I have an InfoObject ZPRODUCT1 with ALPHA Conversion Exit in RSD1 definition.In the Infosource and in the DataSource/Trans. Structure TAB when i check for the corresponding field it has some other Conversion exit called 'PRID1' and i couldn't change it.
When i load the data i get the error at the PSA level itself and the message is,
InfoObject /BIC/ZPRODUCT1 does not contain alpa-conforming value 80001909.
How to fix this problem?
Thank you
arun

Thanks,
I already did that and it worked properly.
Can you explain how come the conversion exit in Data source transfer structure and the InfoObject can be different?How did this worked?
Will i be able to modify the Conversion exit assignment in the infoobject or Data Source/Trans. Structure TAB? How do i do this, it looks display only in RSD1?
Thank you
arun

BPS - No alpha conversion exit or similar provision?

Dear BPS Experts,
In the Flat File that we are loading to BPS Cube (using the HOW-TO Paper in SDN), if User is having a value 100000006 for Customer and value 10200058 for Material then the flat file upload exit fails. It works only when user changes the value for Customer to 000000000100000006 and value for Material to 0010200058.
I believe, you must have understood my point.
PROBLEM 1
In BW, we have Conversion Exits like ALPHA that take care of internal to external format conversion and vice-versa. Unfortunately, in BPS, it seems system expects users to enter values as they exist in the master data tables like P Tables for Characteristics.
QUE 1: Is my above understanding correct?
We have many characteristics (25-30) in our file and I do not want to write a separate Exit to do any conversion like ALPHA, that would really slow down the performance.
PROBLEM 2
We have a field in the file called 'Manager Name'. Now this field can really have any value. It is not possible for us to load master data in BW for this field. If BPS is suffering from this basic limitation then I am afraid, we can not use it for loading flat file. We have to use only BW
QUE 2: Is there any way, by which I can make BPS accept and load transaction data in BPS Cube even if some master data in that file does not exist. If so, then what is the way to go about it?
I am aware of BW means to load Flat File data to BW/BPS Cubes. But we have many compelling reasons to use Planning Folder to load Flat File. Hence, if some expert can advice about overcoming these limitations with BPS then it would be highly appreciated.
PS: I understand, functionally it does not make sense to plan for something which does not exist in master data. Having said so, there can be some exceptional situations and BPS being the sibling of BW, I expected it to have that capacity.
Regards,
Adi

Hi Deepti,
I appreciate your link. That document is very good although it does not solve my problem.
Please note that I am talking about loading a flat file to BPS Cube here and there may be hundreds of values which still do not exist in master data. Your suggested HOW-TO document will be helpful when someone tries to enter data in a planning layout as we do not expect users to enter so many records in planning layout.
I am also aware that we can simply create a Z-Transaction Code (similar to RSD1) to update master data values for a particular InfoObject and Users can be given access to this code. But that is not what I intend to do.
I am looking for a broader and generic solution.
When we load a flat file to BW, we have an option in InfoPackage "Load Transaction Data even if no Master Data exists".. that kind of option or setting really along with something similar to ALPHA Conversion Exits.
Hope my requirement is clearer.
Regards,
Adi

Impact of ALPHA Conversion Urgent!!

Hi,
We have a problem with some of the infoobjects during the upgrade to 3.5.
Some of the custom developed Z infoobjects do not have conversion routine in them when they were developed in 3.0B.
e.g. ZCUSTNO has two customer numbers 01 & 000001.
This is being used in infocube ZSALES & the data in the cube is
ZCUSTNO 01 ZSAL 100
ZCUSTNO 000001 ZSAL 200
We need to add ALPHA Conversion routine in ZCUSTNO.
CASE 1 : Making Customer 01 as A01 & 000001 as A000001.
In order to achieve this do we need to rotate the existing transactional data by adding 'A' in update rule & then loading master data for A01 & A000001 or how do we go about to achieve this. Please give the steps.
Also, if ZCUSTNO is "char 6" so adding 'A' to 000001 makes the length "7" so what can be done for same?
CASE 2 : If we add ALPHA routine WITHOUT adding 'A' to the customer no.
What will be the impact of this on transactional data? will it look as follows ---
ZCUSTNO 000001 ZSAL 300

Hi Vikash,
PPT was really helpful. I'll definitely reward u the points for that but it would be helpful if you could elaborate on some points mentioned in PPT.
<i>"Conversion tables containing the old and new values are built from the SID tables"</i>
Could you pl elaborate what exactly system does? what are conversion tables?
<i>"Characteristics with collisions in the SID table
Marked in RED"</i>
Could you pl give an example when a characteristic will be marked RED.

When will Alpha conversion happen
