Will Shai Agassi speaking at Churchill Club influence the direction of SDN?

Hi SDN Team, Hi SDN Fellows,
will Shai Agassi speaking at Churchill Club influence the direction of SDN? Here you find an Article about that toppic:
- English: <a href="http://www.pcmag.co.uk/vnunet/news/2145809/sap-dismisses-open-source">SAP dismisses open source innovation</a>
- German: <a href="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/66062">SAP-Vorstand wettert gegen Open Source</a>
I hope not. Especaly because SDN is starting it's first Open Source Development project. Have a look at <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/14/sdn-and-open-source">SDN and Open Source</a>.
Best regards

Hi Anton,
I certainly understand your concern, and if it was not for all of the other comments, pieces of information and various movements of SAP as well as Shai - reading a comment such as that attached to our weblog announcing we are moving forward could have hade a rather drastic effect on my morale. When the comments were first posted I hesitated to answer, not because I didn't have an answer just simply because I felt that perhaps it would be better coming from the person who was quoted out of context.
However, the interview which I listened to 3 times to ensure I did not miss anything as well as Shai's follow up weblog which he did in direct response, in my opinion do set the record straight.
I'm still somewhat new to the world where what the big guys in the big companies say get twisted and distorted just to cause chaos, not something I enjoy and I hope I never have the displeasure of; but I can say that the blog does convince me. What I can't say is does it convince me alone or is it because of the numerous other events and speeches that all tie together?
The activities of <a href="http://www.sap.com/company/sapventures/index.epx">SAP Ventures</a>, epsecially in terms of <a href="http://www.zend.com">Zend Technologies</a> and <a href="http://www.socialtext.com/weblog/050927sapinvest.html">SocialText</a> add to my understanding that SAP is OS friendly as well as supportive. Then we have <a href="http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/">MaxDB</a> as well as <a href="http://www50.sap.com/linux/">Linux on SAP</a>.
As for the specific comments made at this specific event, each of us will in turn interpret them differently regardless of what everyone else says. I look at them in terms of all the pieces of the puzzle together as well as the fact that I've not been told <b>not</b> to start the first OS <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/14/sdn-and-open-source">project</a> together with the community, I think that if SAP did view OS as many of these blogs relating to the interview depict then I would not have been supported in this project or as we move forward with other potential projects.
Just my two cents, and as much as I wish I could just make you see it the same way I do but I would rather not try I would rather you come to that conclusion on your own. There is enough information out there on it and I've spent about 3 days reading English and German blogs and articles about what Shai has said in this regard and what he has not, kind of nice having him here on SDN so open and up front with us as many of the blogs I've come across on the internet are simply the authors intrepetation of what they have read or heard and many do not have a 1st person account.

How does one know if they use "java applets"? What do they do? How will I know if I need to 'disable the java web plug-in browser' if I do not use them? (Obviously I'm not very literate in computer-speak.)

Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port

Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port & still hear sound through the internal speakers? System Preferences/Sound/Output or Sound Effects allows you to use one or the other -- headphones or internal speakers. I would like to have the option of hearing music through the internal speakers in one room, & through an external speaker in another room at the same time. I also do not want to frequently disconnect/reconnect the external speaker from/to the headphone port as I know over time the connection could become loose. (10.7.4 Lion)

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

When will iTunes Match be a supported part of the IOS8 Family Share?

Hello,
I was originally happy with the new Family Share capabilities of IOS8. However, happiness turned to disappointment when I discovered that iTunes Match content CANNOT be shared amongst family members unless they are using the App Store ID where the iTunes Match subscription is based, defeating the the benefits of the Family Share.
My household consists of a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.9.5) with the iTunes (11.4.18) Library , 4 iPhones (2 x iPhone 6, 1 iPhone 5C, and 1 iPhone 4S all running IOS8) and 4 iPads (2 iPad Air and 2 iPad II all running IOS8). Before the Family share, the IOS devices shared the iTunes match library where the users could select which songs they wanted to download, and purchases made by them could be added to the library. Two of the 4 sets of devices are owned by my children, who are in their early teens. Why is it stated that you can "share music" among family members when that capability actually seems very limited with this new Family Share setup. Once the App Store ID is set to the Apple ID of the individual user, such as one of my children, the library and selections they originally had were removed and the option to turn iTunes Match on or off under Music Setup turned into "Subscribe to iTunes Match", which would cost each family member an additional $24.99 a year for a service that cost nothing for my other family members.
I realize there are ways to share music, such as having my Mac powered up with iTunes running, and the other devices selecting the library as a Share, seeing all music physically on the Mac and in the subscriber iTunes library. Also, the other users can look at family purchases, select the subscriber to iTunes Match, and see "purchased" items. However, that list is a subset of the overall library of over 6000 songs, which consists of CDs that were imported into iTunes. One of my children uses the iPhone while she exercises and runs. She will now lose the playlists she created with this new "Family Share", which does not have sharing of one of the biggest pool of items I wanted shared, or were shared before this new setup.
In short, is there any plan to give customers the benefits of the Family Share plan, and truly allow the sharing of one of the most shared resources in at least our family, the iTunes Match collection? Another question is WHY is iTunes match not a supported part of the Family Share?
Thanks in advance for any insight that can be provided on this issue!
Regards,
John Finocchiaro

Others have asked this question as well. If there is a plan to change this it hasn't been announced. The best way to influence the decision is to provide your feedback to Apple here: https://www.apple.com/support/feedback/. If enough people do, it's more likely to change.

HT5479 My brand new ipod nano is no longer connedting to my brand new jbl wireless speaker. It worked fine the first day and now either cannot find the apeaker or the connection "fails." Any advice?

I bought my dad a new ipod nano and a jbl wireless speaker from the same apple store. Everything worked perfectly with the bluetooth connectivity the first day. Then my dad accidentally hit the "forget this device" button when he was trying to turn the bluetooth off. Now the nano either does not recognize the device or it will recognize the device but not connect. I would appreciate any advice.

Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
If so:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Also see:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I'm unable to sync my contacts with the new iPhone 5 and my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Will there be a fix for this in the next update?

I previously had an iPhone 4 synced and paired with my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and had no issues. Now I have a new iPhone 5 and am able to sync the phone but the contacts will not update in the phone book listing for the vehicle. I've tried several times to re-sync and pair the phone to the vehicle and still the same issue. I'm able to make an receive calls but no contact information is being displayed. From all of the previous community issues reported it's not an AT&T issue, Hyundai issue, it's clearly pointing at the device (iPhone 5) being the issue.
Will there be a fix for this in the next update?
Thank you.

Thanks for your response. However, after speaking with a level 2 Apple Advisor and Hyundai there is an issue that both companies are aware of and are working towards a resolution. Here's a blurb from Hyundai that was sent to me after I spoke with Apple Advisor:
"We apologize for any inconvenience associated with the technical issues with devices connected via Bluetooth. Hyundai is aware of the iPhone losing its Bluetooth connection to the vehicle along with any function associated with it at the time. Hyundai has been able to reproduce the concern in our test vehicles and have sent all necessary information to Apple engineers. Hyundai received confirmation from Apple that they will work on debugging.
If your iPhone is 3G, 4, 4S, 5 and has one of the following iOS: 6.0, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or higher, you may be affected." - Hyundai Engineering

Exchange rate diff. influencing the available cost of WBS-element

Hi all,
here is a intricate problem I need help to solve. I am not so very experienced withon CO/PS, my main competence is within PM. This issue involves PM/MM/PS and CO so I am not sure if this is the correct group to post to, but I give it a try..
In PM (Plant Maintenance) workorders the u201DPlanned Costu201D is calculated. Exchange rate type for the u201DPlanned costu201D is picked from the CO Cost Version u201D0u201D that uses exchange rate type u201DPu201D. This is a exchange rate type that have one yearly fixed exchange rate. The actual costs are posted with exchange rate type M, which is daily updated.
The Planned cost in the workorder is a part of the u201DAssigned Costu201D that are influencing the available budget on the WBS-element. u201DRemaining/Residual order planu201D.
In cases where the PRQ/PO are created in other currency than the Company code currency we have a problem:
The difference in exchange rate are causing the u201DAvailable budgetu201D to be too low u2013 and the only workaround I have found is to decrease the planned cost in the WO to release the available cost for the Budget. (make the available cost higher )
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
- I have thought of setting the exchange rate type for the planned cost to be the same as for the actual costs u2013 but it is not recommended to change the exchange rate type in CO for cost version u201D0u201D and not a good ide to change the exchange rate type for actual cost eather. This will also not solve the problem of exchange rate difference caused by PRQ/PO beeing created for a whole year for varying exchange rates.
- Is there a way to exclude the u201D Remaining/Residual order planu201D from the u201DAssigned Costu201D? And what consequences will this have? Only cost from PRQ/PO will appear? (Since internal material (reservations) and internal hours not triggers a PRQ/PO)? I see there is a transaction CJE5 where you can exclude the u201D Remaining/Residual order planu201D from the u201DAssigned costu201D u2013 but I think this will only exclude it from beeing shown in the report S_ALR_87013558?- not from the calculation of available cost at the WBS-element? which is what I need. (see Note 668240)
-Is there any u201DExchange rate differenceu201D setting in the customizing u2013 how exchange rate difference are treated for PM orders? And will this help my problem?
Best regards
Ellen

Hi ,

Yes, iPads don't do particularly well in sunlight and also tend to overheat and shutdown if in direct sunlight for too long.

Influence the order of positiontypes while Billing

Hello experts,
I'm pretty new to the SAP world and the first assignment I got from my colleagues is quite complex. Maybe you can help me with it.
Sales order with items and discount line:
10 item (item category with milestone billingplan)
20 item (item category with milestone billingplan)
30 discount line (item category without billing plan)
At the moment I try to bill this salesorder, the order of lines change:
30 discount line
31 item line
32 item line
Apparently this has something to do with the fact that SAP first bills the lines with no billing plan and then the lines with billing plans. So suggestion to the business was to use an itemcategory with a billingplan of 100%, this would solve the issue, however they dont want this.
An alternative solution I'm thinking of is to influence the logic of SAP to leave the positions as they are. Could this be realised via copy controls maybe?
Thnx for any tips you could give me.
Rgds,
John Waltmans

Yep, I already checked this and this doesnt solve the problem.
The number will now be:
30 discount line
40 item line
50 item line
However the issue, namely the wrong order still exists.

Influence the sequence of Roles in IllumLoginRoles

Hi all,
is there a possibility to influence the sequence in which MII orders the roles which are assigned to a user?
For example, user A has roles IllumLoginRoles="'SAP_JAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL','XMII Administrators','XMII Users', 'My new Role' ". How can I manage to get the role 'My new Role' to be the first role in the list?
This is important, because the Content Display Tabs on the MII Portal are displayed in the sequence of the roles in the IllumLoginRoles list. And the first Content Display Tab is loaded on login. So if I want the Content Tab of role 'My new Role' to be loaded when user A logs in, it must be the first role in the list.
I think it doesn't matter when the role was created, and surely the roles are not ordered by name.
Michael
Edited by: Michael Otto on Nov 4, 2008 9:15 AM

Michael,
The order of your role names has no bearing on how it is showed in the Content Display Tabs or Navigation Items. Under System Management -> Custom Attribute Mapping -> Roles Tab, there is an option for priority. The lowest number has the highest priority so most likely XMII_Administrators would have a priority of '0' and XMII_Users would have one of '100'.
Content tabs are added, modified, and deleted in a similar manner to the navigation tree items. The tab item hierarchy is one dimensional. Tabs may be ordered within a user or role. Tabs are inherited from the user level first and then the role level. The order of inherited roles is determined by the role priority. The user's first tab, whether it be from the user or role level becomes the default home page in the main content area. The target window radio buttons behave the same way as the navigation tree items.
When the attributes are read, roles are added lowest priority to highest priority. Profile properties can be created at the role or the user level. A user will inherit properties from the roles that they are a member of. If more than one role has the same property name, the role with the highest priority will pass its property value to the user. If the user has the same property name defined in their profile, the user value always takes precedence.
