Widescreen viewing - a basic question

I know this is really going back to basics but I just want to make sure I have the set-up right as I always seem to end up with photos containing short fat people or people that are very tall and thin!
For a slideshow where photographs only are being used, can you please advise on what is the best project set-up (Pal Standard or Widescreen?). Does it make a difference when only using photos to select DV or Hard Disc/Flash memory camcorder?
Also, when burning the project to disc am I best to select the Preset Dolby DVD or Widescreen DVD? The DVD will be for viewing on a Widescreen LCD so I am assuming that the Preset in the Share screen would be the Widescreen option?
Is it necessary to select "interpret footage" for these images? I tried that last time and it seemed to stretch the pics and distort them.
Thanks in advance for any comments that may assist. ( I am currently using PE4).
Rachel

Assuming you want your project to come out as widescreen, you should select a widescreen project setting when you start your project. If you're using photos only as your video source, it doesn't matter if you select the DV or the Hard Disk Camcorder project settings -- but, for best results, you should right-click on each photo in your project, select Field Options and then check the option for Flicker Removal.
There is no need to interpret the footage. However, as I'm sure you know, your photos will perform best if resized to 1000x750 pixels before you load them into your project.
Naturally, you would also choose the widescreen option when you output your DVD using Share/To Disk.

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.

Ian.

Basic Questions of ABAP programming

Hi Experts
I am new for ABAP programming. I wants to know some basic about ABAP. I have done 2 months ABAP course from a institute. They give me training on 4.7 IDES ver. Please give the answers of following questions.
1.Is there big difference between 4.7 and 6.0 Ecc ver in ABAP programming point of view?
2.for Traing purpose Should I install the full verson of SAP or there is any dummy software?
3.SAP Netweaver knowledge is must for ABAP programing?
4. When we install SAP 4.7 IDES version then all the modules will avialable or Only ABAP?
Thanks
Best Regards
Jitender

Hello,
For your own practice you can download the free version of SAP Netweaver ABAP in the downloads section of SCN. This is only for ABAP development. You wont find many of the stadard tables and functionalities with in it. IDES should be containing all the modules. But again that depends on the licesnse with which you are provided.
Your questions have no relevance from the ABAP technical point of view except the first one which is a basic question and should be asked here as per the forum rules. Thats the reason why you were suggested to read the forum rules.
For any queries of the trial version ABAP have a look at this forum

2 Basic questions

Hai guys,
i am beginner in Webdynpro.i have
2 basic questions in abap webdynpro.
1)after a view is designed,while generating the application,we usualy get a web applicaiton.and use the url to access the developed screen.
can we,alternatively,generate a ABAP transaction instead?(like instead of URL ,we shud get a tcode,like normal abap dynpro)
in other way,i want to develop abap dynpro using webdynpro tools.
2)can we take a webpage,and covert in into meta data and thus,use it to create the view?(the reverse of what we do)

Hello shravan,
Regarding your first question: YES, you can attach a normal ABAP transaction to a WDA application.
Check out this report code I wrote, you just need to change the k_wdappl_name constant value to your application name:
REPORT y_abindi_001.
CONSTANTS: k_browser      TYPE string VALUE 'IEXPLORE.EXE',
           k_mandt_prefix TYPE string VALUE '?sap-client=',
           k_wdappl_name TYPE string VALUE 'YTEST_WD2'.   "Nombre de la aplicación
DATA: g_mandt_param TYPE string,
      g_url         TYPE string.
START-OF-SELECTION.
CONCATENATE
    k_mandt_prefix
    sy-mandt
INTO g_mandt_param.
CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
    EXPORTING
      application_name = k_wdappl_name
    IMPORTING
      out_absolute_url = g_url.
CONCATENATE
    g_url
    g_mandt_param
INTO g_url.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
    EXPORTING
      application            = k_browser
      parameter              = g_url
      maximized              = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error             = 1
      error_no_gui           = 2
      bad_parameter          = 3
      file_not_found         = 4
      path_not_found         = 5
      file_extension_unknown = 6
      error_execute_failed   = 7
      synchronous_failed     = 8
      not_supported_by_gui   = 9
      OTHERS                 = 10.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    WRITE:/,'Error al ejecutar Browser (',k_browser,')'.
ENDIF.
Then attach a report transaction to this program, that's it.
Regards.

Basic Questions on UITableView

Hi, I'm trying to learn the iPhone API by creating a simple table application and I have some basic questions. There are stuff in the example code and the docs that seem to contradict, and I'm hoping some people can clarify.
1) Table View Programming for iPhone OS, it says that UITableView must have a delegate and a source. I take it that in the example code (let's use TableCellSubivews) RootViewController is the source and TableViewCellSubviews is the delegate?
2) If so, why does TableViewCellSubviews adopt the UIApplicationDelegate protocol and not UITableViewDelegate? In fact, I don't think any of the classes in the example code adopt UITableViewDelegate.
3) In the UITableViewDelegate reference, it names didSelectRowAtIndexPath as a method. In the example code, why is in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath a method in the RootViewController, and not the delegate itself?
Thanks for any explanations that anyone can give to help a noob!

{quote}
There are 3 things that need to be done when setting up a tableview:
1- the tableview controller itself, which determines how the tableview is set up, decides on the view, etc..
2- the data source: the controller in 1) above needs to ask someone "give me the cell with the data for row #x. That's the job of the data source
3- The delegate: some things for the table view need visible stuff such as the height of a row, whether a row should have a checkmark, etc... That's the job of the delegate.
Now what often happens is that people do not specify a data source nor a delegate. What this means is that the controller performs all 3 jobs. Again, if the controller does not specify its delegate (or no class registers as its delegate), then the controller acts as its own delegate. (that answers your second question)
{quote}
3) In the UITableViewDelegate reference, it names didSelectRowAtIndexPath as a method. In the example code, why is in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath a method in the RootViewController, and not the delegate itself?
{quote}
That's a tricky question.
The thing is that both the data source AND the delegate adopt a method called didSelectRowAtIndexPath. But they're for very different purposes. For the delegate, it's simply a notification by the controller that "hey, this row was selected, you may want to do something with it", i.e. change the color of the font, add a checkmark, etc...
For the data source, it's much more important (and required!): the controller is saying "hey, someone requested row #x. Please give it to me!" This includes getting all the data and setting up the whole row, then returning it to the controller.
Hope this helps clear things up.

Basic questions about recovery/repair preparation

When I got my machine, over two years ago, I made repair disks on DVD's per Toshiba's instructions. Now, with my nightly backups, I have it make a system disk image on a NAS device.
If I were to have a large failure and need to restore my system, is there anything I can do now that would prevent me from having to go back to my inital system install of two+ years ago and start reinstalling everything?
I guess what I'm wondering is if would making another set of more recent repair disks be useful at all in giving me a "jump start" on recovery and how my scheduled system disk image fits into the picture. I've heard some folks say system disk images from a NAS device can't be used but they were not particularly credible sources so I don't know.
Probably pretty basic questions, but having recently had a scare with my machine, I want to be sure I'm as prepared as I can be.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Now, with my nightly backups, I have it make a system disk image on a NAS device. .... I've heard some folks say system disk images from a NAS device can't be used...
If you cannot boot from an optical disc or flash drive to a program that restores from that NAS image, Sally, then it's useless. What system/procedures are you using? Read the manual.
The original recovery discs in my view are not very helpful. I would use them only to establish whether hardware is at fault when debugging a problem. Daily backups are the best source of recovery. We keep ours for ten days and test the recovery procedure from time to time.
Most of us who make backup disk images create them on an external drive connect via USB. Windows 7 already has such a backup program. One can boot from a repair disc to restore that image.
As you realize, this is important Let's sort it out.

Assorted basic questions

Hello,
I have recently bought an iPhone, and after reading the User Guide I have many small basic questions. I'm using an iPhone 3GS together with Windows Vista. I wouldn't like to clog this forum with multiple topics about small things, hence everything being here:
1) Is it possible to save .pdf files to the iPhone? I have limites web access, and I often use a few pdf files. I would rather use storage space for them than downloading them all the time (even with cache). If this isn't possible without external applications, which reliable application can save documents such as pdfs and docs to the iPhone?
2) The iTunes Store is not available in my country for buying movies. Given how I'm using Windows, is there any way to transfer movies to my iPhone? Whenever I try dragging a movie to iTunes on my computer, nothing happens.
3) In order to access my work's network from outside computers, we need to set our browsers with specific proxy configurations. Is it possible to set a proxy with Safari? Is there any way of doing that at all with the iPhone?
4) I have began using iTunes in order to move my music to the iPhone, but iTunes and the iPhone automatically organize everything based on song title, while I have organized everything based on filename. Is it possible to make the iPhone and/or iTunes display and order songs by filename? I could manually rename everything, but with nearly 1000 songs...
5) Is there a Find command on Safari, corresponding to control F on other browsers? When reading long pages, I miss being instantly able to locate a specific word.
6) Is it possible to use the recorder built withon the iPhone to record a phone call? Is there any application capable of doing so?
7) I have set my Gmail account to the e-mail function, but I have noticed that, unlike the Gmail website, the e-mail application doesn't keep conversations together (like what the iPhone does with messages, keeping a message and its replies together). Is there any of setting the Mail application to do that?
Thank you.

1. For your pdf and other files I recommend the application Files. Files light is free and has a 300mb limit I think. The paid version is limited by your free space on the phone. It views Excel, Word, PDF, JPG, music, and other files. The transfer is by wireless.
2. Files might work with your movies, but they must be in a format the iPhone supports.
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
6. No, the recording of a phone call is not supported nativly by the iPhone.

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

PE 9 organizer basic questions

I am using a PC, Windows 7, PE 9. This is a very basic question from a 77 year old grandmother (my granddaughter says I 'play the grandma card'), but anyway I do not understand photo storage locations on my PC. Some of my many photos are in the Windows Viewer, some in Elements and I also use Picasa which I had before I bought PE9. All of my pictures are neatly organized in folders in Picasa, can find them easily but not with all the better ways Elements provides. So, my question is this, are my pictures stored in 3 places on my computer ? Or are they just moved from Picasa to edit and not stored in Elements? What about the Windows files?
Well, by now you must be as confused as I am. Will apreciate any help, basic please.
Thanks
Grandma Granny

Hi,
I am technical person and we techincal people are not good in explaining things easily. But I will make an attempt
Actually all the photographs are saved on your hard-drive which is controlled by windows. Means you can see all the photographs in windows if you know exact location.
Photoshop Elements and Picasa just use references and show you same photographs which are actually on your Hard-Drive/Windows.So effectively there is only one copy of your photographs - few are accessed through Picasa , others through Elements. I would suggest to stick to one application for organizing your photographs and that better way in long run.
Hope that my explainnation is of some use to you. In case not, please bombard more questions...

What should be considered a basic question here?

Hey folks I want some feedback on why type of questions we should consider basic in this forum? I have noticed in the last several weeks the questions here appear to be easily answered from wiki articles or the new book on the SAP Webclient programming.
Instead of me however throwing down the moderator axe, I want the community to decide the type of questions that should be locked or moved to a "basic questions" forum.
Given that the CRM Webclient is now a relatively mature product and the available materials to learn have increased, this should be fair request.
In order to ensure that you respond I'm going to give my thoughts on what should not be allowed
- Any topic covered in detail in the CRM wiki page here unless you need a clarification is subject for lock
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWebClientUIFramework
or
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CustomerRelationshipManagement
Especially questions on how to add a new field, EEWB, AET, or dropdown boxes
- Any topic asking for definition of terms is subject for a lock(i.e something that can be answered via help.sap.com)
- If has already been answered before, then I would propose the following:
1) Post the link in the thread
2) OP responds whether that solved the issue
3) Thread is locked from further discussion and awarding (to avoid rward hunting)
Based on your feedback my goal is to implement the "stricter moderation" post Teched Las Vegas or around October 1st, 2011. I would expect further changes to moderation style as SCN moves to a new platform and moderator tools are improved.
Take care,
Stephen
CRM Forum Moderator

Stephen,
Basically queries like "How To xyz" which are already there on the WiKi should be moved to Basic Questions. These are the queries which are being raised by Consultants who are either new TO CRM or new to SDN or both.
1. How to enhance a Web UI COmponent
2. How to create a Drop Down
3. How to create a F4 Help
4. How to modify the Search Criteria.
5. How to add a Attribute from AET/EEWB
6. How to Create a Assignment block for a Z table.
7. How to default values in Drop Down
8. How to do dynamic navigation
9. How to create Navigation Links for Navigation between 2 Components
10.How to get business Partner ID from sy-uname
11. How to Value node.
12. How to create a BOL
13. How to create a Pop Up View
14. How to get values from Pop up view to the calling View.
I guess these are few basic queries which are being asked N number of times and has been answered twice as many a times.
Reading material and Tutorials are also sought by New CRM consultants which ideally should not be the case.

Entities not showing Contribution - very basic question

Hi guys,
Apologies for this very basic question - I'm very new to Hyperion, with just a weeks training! Anyway I'm building a basic model and have noticed that in the Value dimension my entities are not rolling up to the [Contribution Total]. This means that Entities do not roll up!!
One suggested issue was that I needed a Sub Consolidate in the Rules, however I've set the attribute "ConsolidationRules" to be = to N. In the documentation this is defined as "N to use the default consolidation and eliminations."
Wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default consolidations, or do I need to create some Rules??
Thanks
G

Why do you think it is not rolling up? If your Consoldiation Rules are set to 'N' you do not need rules.
Make sure your accounts are set to IsConsoldiate. Make sure you are viewing a 'Parent.Child' at Contribution Total.

Some basic questions about DAC

Hello
I am just starting to use DAC now and I have some basic questions about DAC..
1: How many different kinda image tables are there, what are they used for?
2: In order to check which ETL mapping with in the same execution plan is taking a long time, what to do? I mean is there a table that stores such info?
3: How to determine which ETL task to run after and which after?
4: Is subject area always map to the Informatica workflow folder? Or what should subject area be?
Please shed some lights on it, deeply appreciate!
Thanks

Hi,
I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
Hope this helps

Some basic questions about serialization

Hi,
I have some basic questions on serialization.
1. What are the basic criteria to make an object serializable(except that it must implement serializable ?) I mean that objects of some class inherently cannot be serialized so any object must have some features which makes it serializable/non serializable.
2. I know it makes no sense to serialize a socket because it is fixed only by specifying ip and port at both ends, and is valid only when the network connection remains valid. Still in the context of my previous question, I would like to know why a socket cannot be serialized.

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.
