Feedback, please. How are these overviews and links to resources working for you?

I've been working lately on providing concise introductory sections in After Effects Help that each give an overview of a topic, provide some related tips, and then give a bunch of useful links to more detailed information.
I'd like to get some feedback on how these sections are working.
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2009/09/feedback-please-how-are-these.html
If, as I hope, these overviews and collections of tips and resources are helpful, then I'll do more of this kind of thing.

Hi Todd,
Thank you for all that you have contributed to this board, and beyond. I have looked at, and used some of your resources, and found them to be very helpful. In my particular case, I learn much better through video tutorials, especially ones that include the project file and elements that are used in the tutorial. I'm glad to see you include links to other peoples work, but with your wealth of knowledge and talent, I would like to see you make your own series of video tutorials. I think you could do as good or better than anyone out there at this point. I hope you will at least give it some consideration. Thanks again for all that you do, keep up the good work.

Sales order for service should create project and link equipments.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a sales order for a service material through VA01. The problem is that this sales order should create a proyect, but at the same time i should be able to associate several equipments to the item position.
The problem is that if I want to create a project, option " Sched.Line Allowed" should be marked for the item category, But if do it, when i create a sales order, if i want to associate 1 o more equipments to my item position, (Extras-->Technical Objects), i get this message "Serial number profile is missing for material..." instead of the table where i would introduce my equipments.
Is there any solution to this problem or should i proceed in a different way?
Thanks in advance.
Luis.

Hi Luis,
We both are working on the same vertical, I am also working now in elevators and escalators.
We have enabled similar (not same) scenario like this.
When order is created (sales order) using serial number profile, serial no and equipment number are generated. I think even during service order, this can be enabled. The only thing you have to do is to create a profile and link that to material master. Please explore in SD and MM. This is easy to do. This will create equpment no for every item in the service order.
We have also enabled the creation of whole project for the order and one WBS element and network for each of the line items adn this happens automatically. This is done as explained earlier. Creation of standard project, std WBS, std network adn then linking the material codes to these objects in CN08. To my knowledge, this is the only way. If there is one standard project, which is linked to all related standard WBS, then during order creation, a WBS element is created after the creation of a standard project. When project is created, service order is linked to the project. So for other items, this project is taken and the WBS and network are created using this project.
Now your assembly processing, production order, Purchase requisition are taken care of by the usage of components overview for activities in the network and object dependencies. For Production orders, you also have standard BOM, which can be linked to activities in the NW. You can control the materials of the standard BOM using selection condition dependencies. You can also initiate variant configuration in service order to maintain the nature of service and then use dependencies to trigger respective assembling, PR etc.
If you want to do this for multiple eqpmts, you can also use functional location, which links multiple equipments to one place.
The only thing you have to do is to configure this and see. Only then you will get ideas.
Pls let me know if you need more information.

HRESS Pay Statement - Add new Column in Overview and Selection table

Hello,
I want to add a column in the "Overview and selection" table for a pay statement service. I want to add field called "off-cycle reason" (OCCAT field from pay result).
Is there any work around to do the same?
I feel we may need to implement a BADi to do so.
Thanks,
Bhushan

Hi Bhsuan,

OVERVIEW AND CONFIGURATION OF ANO ENCRYTION

제품 : SQL*NET
작성날짜 : 2000-05-19
OVERVIEW AND CONFIGURATION OF ANO ENCRYTION
인증되지 않은 사용자가 네트워크를 통해 처리되는 데이터를 읽지
못하도록 하기위해서 데이터 암호화 (Encryption) 가 사용될 수 있으며,
이러한 데이터 암호화 기술이 사용되면 네트워크를 통한 데이터가 모두
암호화되어 전달되므로 불법적인 데이터의 해킹을 막을 수 있다.
데이터 암호화 기술은 암호키의 생성에 기반하며 이러한 비밀키는 오로지
데이터의 전송자와 수신자에게만 알려지게 된다. 물론, 이 비밀키는 전송자와
수신자 사이에서 암호와와 암호를 푸는 열쇠가 된다.
이 키들은 네트워크를 통해서 전달되어서는 안되기 때문에 각 머쉰들
사이의 비밀키 전달은 어려운 작업이다. SQL*Net 패킷을 암호화할때 사용되는
ANO (Advanced Networking Option) 는 Diffie-Hellman 의 알고리즘을 사용하며
이 알고리즘은 작업의 오버헤드 없이 세션키를 안전하게 전달한다. 이 세션키는
모든 SQL*Net 접속에 대해 각각 다르게 자동으로 생성되어진다.
키들을 복잡하게할수록 암호를 깨기가 쉽지 않으므로 random 값이 세션키
생성시에 사용되며 이러한 암호와 작업은 client 와 server 가 값들을 생성할때에
사용된다. 이 random 값은 다음의 세가지 값으로부터 생성될 수 있다.
- sqlnet.ora 에 SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED 패러미터를 사용해서 사용자가
인자값을 지정할 수 있다.
- 시스템의 시간값
- OS 에 의존한 값
새로운 접속이 맺어질때 client 와 server 가 위의 방법에 근거해서 그들만의
random 값을 생성하게된다. 일단 random 값이 생성되면 Diffie-Hellan 알고리즘은
새로운 세션키를 생성하며, 이 키는 네트워크를 통한 전달없이 어떤 세션키가
사용되는지 알게된다. 이때 생성되는 세션키는 그 값이 길면 길수록 이를
깨뜨리기가 어렵기때문에 보다 강력하다고 볼 수 있다.
ANO 는 아래의 두가지 암호 알고리즘을 사용한다.
- RC4 : RSA data security 에서 사용하는 알고리즘으로 사용 머쉰의 CPU 가
현저히 느리지 않는 이상은 사용자가 성능저하를 느낄 수 없는
비교적 빠른 알고리즘이다.
- DES : Data Encryption Standard (DES) 에서 1970 년대 개발된 알고리즘으로
IBM 과 National Security Agency (NSA) 에서 사용된다. DES 는 RC4
알고리즘에 비해 약간의 성능저하를 느낄 수 있다.
RC4 와 DES 는 다른 키값의 길이를 가지며 DES 는 40-bit 또는 56-bit 암호화로
구성되어질 수 있다. RC4 는 40, 56, 또는 128-bit 키들을 가질 수 있다. 그러나,
US 정부는 40-bit 이상되는 키값의 사용을 미국과 캐나다를 제외한 국가에서의
사용을 규제하고 있었으나 Oracle8i 와 더불어 56-bit 암호화도 전세계적으로
현재 사용가능하다. 앞으로는 128-bit 알고리즘도 오라클의 차기 버전에서
채택될 예정이다.
데이터 암호화가 사용되기 위해서는 ANO 가 client 와 server 양쪽에 인스톨은
물론 셋업되어 있어야 하며 반드시 SQL*Net 이 먼저 인스톨되어 있어야 한다.
만약, SQL*Net 을 다시 인스톨했을 경우라면 ANO 를 다시 그 이후에 인스톨해야 한다.
아래에 설명되는 모든 패러미터들은 "SQLNET.ORA" 화일에 지정되어야 한다.
- SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER
- SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT
ACCEPTED - 만약 나머지 쪽에서 요청한다면 암호화를 활성화 한다.
REJECTED - 다른 나머지 쪽에서 요청한다해도 암호화를 활성화하지 않는다.
REQUESTED - 만약 나머지 쪽에서 허락한다면 암호화를 활성화 한다.
REQUIRED - 암호화를 활성화하고 그렇지 않으면 접속을 허용하지 않는다.
- SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER
- SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_CLIENT
RC4_40 - RC4 40-bit 암호화 사용
RC4_56 - RC4 56-bit 암호화 사용
(Domestic only, 즉 미국 이외에서는 사용할 수 없다.)
RC4_128 - RC4 128-bit 암호화 사용 (Domestic only)
DES - DES 128-bit 암호화 (Domestic only)
DES40 - DES 40-bit 암호화 사용
그리고, 아래의 테이블은 만약 SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER 와
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT 가 다른 값으로 셋팅되어져 있을때 접속요청의
결과를 보여준다.
Client
|Accepted Rejected Requested Required
Accpeted |On Off On On
Server Rejected |Off Off Off ora-12660
Requested|On Off On On
Required |On ora-12660 On On
아래는 40-bin 의 RC4 암호화를 사용하는 ANO 를 셋팅하는 server 와 client 의
샘플이다.
#SQLNET.ORA - CLIENT
sqlnet.crypto_seed="dsdfrpdstrpgrmmpbmprthmtpommbmptbmpotpre"
sqlnet.encryption_client = required
sqlnet.encryption_types_client = (RC4_40)
#SQLNET.ORA - SERVER

sqlnet.encryption_server = required
sqlnet.encryption_types_server = (RC4_40)

Etherchannel and link aggregation

Hi!
I'm a bit confused now, Sun Trunking supports Cisco Etherchannel, but link aggregation doesn't (if I understand correctly, a with the results of my quick tests).
Sun Trunking seems to be supporting a certain set of drivers and link aggregation another set.
Right now I've got a T2000 with 4 X e1000g and 4 X nxge, does anyone knows, if I can use these interfaces with Cisco Etherchannel, or do I absolutely need to use LACP with link aggregation??? The problem is that the network guys don't want us to use LACP (for whatever reason they have)...
Thank you very much.
Martin

I don't know any cisco term referring to "pure" etherchannel, so I don't know how to answer that. Both LACP and PAgP are link management protocols that cisco can use. I'm supposing that you're asking if the cards will work with PAgP management, but I'm not sure.
This FAQ:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/suntrunking/faq.xml
suggests that I've been incorrect about 802.3ad being a "new" thing and that SunTrunking 1.3 also uses it.
The SunTrunking 1.3 docs here:
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-3374-11/index.html
in chapter 1 (Overview) list six cards. I don't think yours are any of them, so SunTrunking is out.
Because LACP "only" manages the link configuration rather than driving the data, it seems to me that both the link-aggregation and cisco sides could work without LACP being present, but the management of the links might be wonky.
So without LACP, the links have to be configured manually, but I don't yet see anything that states that the two sides will not communicate if that is done.
Further, the 'dladm' man page says that one valid lacp mode on the Solaris is "off", so it must have some functionality without LACP. I would imagine that will required some sort of manual link configuration on the cisco side. (The solaris side is not going to do PAgP).
See also:
http://www.kabewm.com/2007/02/22/solaris-10-lacp-trunking-w-cisco-6509/
When the www.opensolaris.org boards come back up, I would recommend posting this question in the "networking" discussion group.

Autocomplete and linking issues with gchat on apple messages

So I'm having a couple related(ish) problems with apple messages and gchat/hangouts/whatever it's called these days and imessage on my laptop:
1) Gchat contacts sometimes do and sometimes don't autocomplete when i cmd+n for a new message and then start typing in the 'send to' field. this occurs irrespective of whether i try to start a jabber conversation via typing their email or via typing their name. I've noticed a couple of semi-consistent factors that seem to be impacting it, at least sometimes, but can't pinpoint anything entirely consistent:
     -It seems to be more problematic with contacts that I have their (google) email address on their contacts card in my icloud account on my actual computer/iphone (as opposed to not having them linked to a contact, and them being merely listed on my gchat friends list by virtue of being imported when i created the account)
     -It seems to be more problematic with buddies that i have had more recent contact with, so that their existing conversation is closer to the top of the messages window (and plus, even this isn't entirely consistent - sometimes it lets me type and find their jabber account even if i chatted yesterday and it's second or third on the list, other times it just returns no results in the address field, and other times (when they're a contact with email address as well as phone number) it only gives me their imessage account but their jabber doesn't show up and i have to go to my buddy list to find them)
Any thoughts? It's sometimes easier to just do cmd+n and type a friend's name even if i have an existing conversation with them relatively top to the close of the list, than manually finding them in the list or looking at the buddy list or using the search bar. cmd+n typically works at least with imessage conversations, and sometimes even with jabber accounts/gchat, so it doesn't seem like this is merely a feature that doesn't exist.
2) This might be less of a bug and more of a feature, but i'm wondering if there's a way to deactivate it. A lot of my friends have both imessages and gchat, and i have their google email and phone number on their contact card. in this case, apple messages, seemingly arbitrarily, alternates back and forth betweeen gchatting them and imessaging them in the same conversation. it doesn't always correspond to their away/available status on gchat, and even when it does correspond, i'd still prefer to be able to manually override to send an imessage even if they are available on gchat, I'd prefer to just have separate conversations going for imessage and gchat (because a lot of my friends just never look at one or the other depending on whether they are or arent near their computer, so i need to be able to control where the message goes). I do have a separate jabber conversation with John Smith from their imessage, but within the imessage conversation it still sometimes switches to jabber. It seems like this only happens for contacts that have both email and imessaage on their vcard, but i'd prefer not to delete the email address from their vcard just to resolve this issue, since the email address on contact comes in handy for purposes other than gchat. is there any workaround/way to disable this auto-switching between imessage and gchat accounts in the same conversation, while keeping contacts' email and phone number linked on their vcard?
3) Some, but not all, of my android friends show up as having imessage when i type their name to contact via gchat. sometimes it says imessages for their phone number, and sometimes instead for their gmail (or both). With respect to the issue when it happens in phone number form: i've checked their contact cards and their phone number is just listed as mobile (not iphone or anything, though i'm unsure if the category of phone number actually tells the phone whether they have imessage, or if it recognizes (in this case, incorrectly) on its own). Of course the imessage won't actually send, but it's pretty annoying (especially in light of the problem from #1). Is their any way to tell messages that this person doesn't have imessage so it stops saying they do?
Couldn't decide whether to post these separately or together, but since they may or may not be related i opted for the latter. sorry for the length. searched for all 3 and didn't find anything quite on point.

Hi,
Re 1)
If a Buddy (Google, AIM or Yahoo) is in the Buddy list as just the ID or Screen Name then broadly speaking they are not in your Contacts list.
As such they will not show a "Real Name".
However any Buddy can be added to the Contacts List even if you don't add a "Real Name"
This in itself can also cause issues as the Contacts app does not create what it sees as Duplicate cards.
i.e. you cannot create two cards with the name John Smith.
It is easier if the ID/Screen Name becomes the "Real Name".
I have three Macs
On each the My Card for myself reflects the Computer it is from and those Cards are synced on my iMac.
Some of the various Jabber and AIM Screen Names are linked to the particular computers.
That means if I type "ra" as the start of my Name in the "to" spot I get this:-
First is a national breakdown service for helping out with cars (as opposed to any other breakdown)
The next is a Buddy that I have hidden.
It lists Apple ID and telephone numbers that it thinks are iMessages compatible (it thinks all numbers are valid) liked to be G4 tower's card.
It continues listing AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and other iMessages accounts as well as the Bonjour contact details.
As you can see some at the bottom are IDs and Screen Names that are not associated with any of the Address Cards.
In these cases my name from part of the ID so "ra" picks then up.
As you can see you should get AIM, Jabber (Google), iMessages and Yahoo account indicated.
That should then lead to 2)
Once in the conversation you can use the "To" spot to change which ID you are calling and therefore effectively change which service you are using.
In this Pic I have chosen to call Myself (easy with multiple accounts)
My iMac My Card has no jabber account listed so you only see iMessages and AIM option listed.
I can "call" my main AIM name (ralphjohnsr) from the other three Accounts linked to this Card.
From your end it may look like a random switch but in fact is most likely from an incoming change by the Buddy/Contact.
You can make the change by using the "To" spot and a drop down
The centralised messages in the chat should tell you of Changes as will the ID in the text field before typing
Re 3)
It will depend on what their Apple ID is.
Some have had @mac.com names for a long time and linked them to MobileMe than more recently iCloud.
Some linked their @me.com names form MobileMe to iCloud at the Change.
Most recently iCloud IDs have been given @iCloud.com emails from the start.
However any email can be used as an Apple ID.
The pic above has my Apple ID partially hidden for that lower iMessages info across the center.
You may find that some people are using their Google ID as their Apple ID AND also using it as both the iMessages registered name and the Google ID in the Messages app.
Lets explain this another way.
When iChat 1 came out Apple joined the AIM service with it (it did AIM and Bonjour which was then called Rendezvous)
At that time Apple entered in to an agreement with AIM that any Apple Issued ID would be a valid AIM Screen Name.
At that time the Apple Service was .Mac and @mac.com IDs were being issued as paid for accounts, Trial Accounts and after while Lapsed paid for accounts.
These all worked as iChat/AIM Screen Names.
Then Apple changed to MobileMe and issued @me.com IDs
The trials only lated until you ended them and the IDs no longer worked in iChat after that as valid AIM Screen Names and nor did lapsed Paid For accounts.
More recently Apple have stopped a paid for Service and moved to iCloud.
At the change you could link Any Apple ID to iCloud and you got an @me.com ID from the iCloud server (it could be the same as the on MobileMe but did seem to be "separate").
Later these became @iCloud.com IDs (Some people have both under iCloud and in some cases linking @mac.com names to MobileMe @me.com accounts for email still continues).
To be clear you could link Any existing email ID to iCloud such as Google ID.
But broadly I am speaking of gaining various Apple Issued IDs over time that may or may not be linked to one account.
These Apple Issued IDs works as Valid AIM Screen Names in Messages. (the iCloud issued ones don't work in iChat 5 or earlier though).
I linked an external to Apple dial-up Email that has been my long time Apple ID to iCloud and got an @me.com ID at first and later an @icloud.com one as well.
I can use these two separately in Messages as Valid AIM names.
Someone using their Google ID as their Apple ID could use it as the iMessages registered Name AND as the GoogleTalk/Jabber entry as well.
This might explain why it looks like they are swapping about.
There can be one other explanation and that is dependent on where they are logged in.
Obviously a GoogleTalk user can log in to the Google web Mail page and use Talk there.
Although I don't use Google+ I presume there is a similar web page to chat from there.
This would limit them to being "On Google" rather than iMessages when they sent a messages to you.
Re GoogleTalk
Obviously Android is Google.
The Account settings at Google incudes the "products" you can link and use from your Account.
Previously with a Google Mail Account that included enabling "Talk" which then allowed you to chat from the Web Mail Page login (or your chosen Jabber able app)
Now Google use Google+ and this seems to give you automatic access to "Talk" to the extent it is no longer something you have to Activate.
I am wondering if using a Android phone is linked to having a Google+ account and that the phone number can be part of that ID set up (similar to iMessages and iPhone Numbers).
If it does it would then depend if the phone is linked to both the Number and the Google ID as to what they can login as in certain situations.
I am not sure I have covered everything but I think I have covered most things.
From what you post I am not sure that there is an issue or not although I have posted what is normal and expected I think there are some fringe things that are an issue.

Production Order without Material Number and linked to a PM Order...

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a Production Order without Material Number (because it is a "just one time" production), and link it to a PM Order (enterred by a sister Plant) in order to finally report the cost to that PM Order?
And if YES, how to do it???
Explanation of the problem (business scenario):
We have 2 Plants. Let say Plant "A" and Plant "B".
Plant B is producing spare parts for Plant A.
There are usual spare parts, which have a Material Number.
But there are also spare parts which will be produced only once, and which don't have a Material Number. (= because it is a very punctual production).
Plant A needs a punctual spare part.
It creates a PM Order for Plant B.
Plant B needs to create a Production Order for that spare part (without Material Number).
Then, when confirmed and delivered, the cost of that production needs to be reported (assigned) to the PM Order.
Thanks in advance for your help on the subject.
Regards,
Rudy.

Thank you for the information.
After some modifications on the Prod.Order Type and the creation of a Reference Operation Set, it seems to work.
Still have a cost problem, but on the way to be solved.
Thanks a lot,
Rudy.

Upload file and link to sales order in SAP via rfc (C#)

Hello all,
In my company we have the possibility to attach files to sales orders, e.g. pdf files with the printing details.
These files are added by the GUI user, this works fine.
Now we have an extra order creation stream in which a pdf file has to be added to the SO without user interaction.
In a previous question I had a little question about the linking, that has been solved, I will post the test program later.
I now can link front end files (pdf's in this case) to the sales orders and it works fine.
Now we are developing a frontend in C# (build by a third party) which creates a sales order via a RFC. We also want that RFC to include the PDF file and link it to the created order.
In the interface of the RFC I included a table with 255 char lines. That is the same as in the example program. the problem is that our partner is yet unable to fill the interface in exact the same way as the example program does, so the linked pdf file is corrupted.
Does anyone have hints how C# should fill the interface table, or how I can change the interface?
code snippid table declaration for pdf table:
IT_PDF     LIKE     ZETEX_TAB_PDF
and
structure ZETEX_TAB_PDF consists of
LINE     CHAR255

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

How do I change the copyright info and links in collection pages?

Can anyone tell me how I can change the copyright info and links on a collection page using the new updated Public Site Manager?
1. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' there doesn't seem to be an option to edit copyright information and I've tried editing the info in Settings > Copyright Notice but it doesn't filter through to the collection pages.
2. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' the links tab is empty but on my collection page there is a link called 'website' which links to our University website but the url is incorrect so I need to change it.
Example screenshot -
Thanks

Also when I add a url list to a collection page and then delete all the links I'm left with a blank url list showing in preview page in iTunes. This should not happen, the admin guide says -
"To delete a collection page URL list, delete all the links in the list. When you publish, if you have a URL list with no links, iTunes U Public Site Manager hides the empty URL list."
It doesn't. At least it doesn't for me when I preview the collection in iTunes.
Example screenshot

Click on a textbox, display alert and link to other page.

hi, here i wanna do is when i click on a textbox, onFocus on it, then call a function to perform checking, and then if the textbox data have breakdown record then display an alert to the user and link to breakdown page.
[Display out in a table]
<%for(int c=0; c<progPect.size(); c++){%>
<td id=progPect><input type="text" size=5 id="progPect" value='<%=progPect.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);"></td>
<td id=progQty><input type="text" size=5 id="progQty" value='<%=progQty.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);></td>
<td id=progLump><input type="text" size=5 id="progLump" value='<%=progLump.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);></td>
after calling the chkBreakdown function and found out that it has record, then pop up an alert that tell the user this record have breakdown, and then link to the other page with the same window.
so the problem is how to identify user click on which row in the table.

Vuze installs ask.com's tool bar also. Check for a Vuze plug in. Thanks for the fix.
