Quote from Derek’s Charlebois book.

That is a part 1. And part 2 follows, where it is explained how to add custom functionality to the toolbar:
http://help-abap.blogspot.com/2008/11/generic-object-services-gos-toolbar.html

You may have noticed that in ECC the Services for Object button is missing in sales order screen. It was taken off in 4.7 due to performance reasons. If you set user profile/parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE to X by going to SYSTEM-USERPRFOLE-OWNDATA the button will be available to you again.

Below I compiled couple of good advices taken from SAP Marketplace:

1) Deactivating change pointer MEREP_DELTABO at BD50 (Note 1376267)
The change pointer for ‘MEREP_DELTABO’ is active at BD50 transaction even though no SAP mobile solution is used in the ERP system
2) Improve change pointer reading by implementing correction code (Note 863744)
During the generation of IDocs from change pointers for message categories of the basic types MATMAS01, MATMAS02, MATMAS03, MATMAS04 or MATMAS05 (according to the release you are using), the change pointers are not read using a corresponding index that exists for improving the performance.
3) For change pointer reading improvement SAP will use new table starting from BASIS 701 (Note 1244159)
Table BDCP2 is used to read the change pointers instead of using function module
4) If you don’t want to wait when your system BASIS will be upgraded to 701, migrate to BDCP2 manually (Note 305462)
5) Also there are other suggestions made by SAP towards optimization (Note 513454)
I) Deactivate change pointers for message types that don’t need them using transaction BD61
II) Reorganize obsolete and processed change pointers periodically using transaction BD22

Hope this helps!

Luckily direct changes in SAP tables are also logged, so you can trace back to the culprit who messed things up. You can query the following SAP tables to report on hacks:

SE16N_CD_KEY : Change Documents – Header

SE16N_CD_DATA : Change Documents – Data

The reason we’re so interested in eccentrics is because research shows that they’re so beneficial for growth and strength. Emphasis on this portion of the rep induce the microtrauma to our muscle fibers that stimulates our body to repair and build bigger and stronger than they were before. Unfortunately, as a corollary they also cause a lot of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

This isn’t necessarily bad news, as this may also be correlated with muscle growth. It would seem that the simple idea of training for soreness has some merit after all. Interestingly, the speed of the forced eccentric movement (not a voluntary slowing of the weight on the way down) is directly correlated with the growth and strength potential, as well as DOMS. Within reason, the faster the negative, the better it is for us.

Among the anabolic properties of heavy eccentric training is an increase in muscle IGF-1 levels. The latter is the prominent growth factor responsible for muscle growth and repair, more of which is a very good thing. Additionally, there is a reduction in the production of the negative growth factor myostatin. You may have heard a lot about this recently as myostatin actually inhibits muscle growth, and its control has spawned a new breed of anabolic drugs (one of which is likely going to be commercially available quite soon). In summary, eccentric training gives us more of what we want, and less of what we don’t, all of which favors hypertrophy.

Sexy Strength

For those of you more interested in the strength side of the equation, eccentrics are still ideal. The reason is that we’re taking advantage of an otherwise unused portion of the repetition, and the very high forces involved during this phase stimulate the nervous system to adapt and grow (nerve cells grow from strength training too).

Bonus: Injury Reduction

Another critical component of athletic performance is eccentric strength. This is largely used for decelerating and changing direction, which are key times for injury. Consistent with this, brand new research has shown that eccentric strength decreases during athletic match play, and this is correlated with elevated injury risk. This is because our muscle handles less of the load, leaving our joints to take more of the forces. This could lead to excessive load bearing during stopping or directional changes, which is often how undesirable tissue trauma occurs. By training this portion of the movement, we can increase eccentric strength and potentially protect against athletic injury.

In the 1990s, the IMF kept supporting Argentina ’s fixed exchange rate during years of unbroken recession and worsening debt problems. It is repeating the mistake in Latvia. The sticking plaster will cost a lot of money – and eventually waste it. The fund and its allies would all do better to be brave. There is no chance of healing until they do.”
