Advantages of Unix over Windows

Hello all,
We r planning to move from Windows to Unix platform in OS ,can anybody give me  feature list/advantages of Unix over windows .My email id is [email protected] Requested to revert at earliest as this is urgent.

maybe you should ask the SAP on Linux forum.
This one here is probably not the best source for arguments for Linux.

  • Advantages of using Oracle with Unix over Windows server

    Hi there,
    I want some article/document which depicts the advantages of using Oracle with Unix (say HP-UX or Solaris backend). Actually the plan is to use some Data Warehousing applications using Cognos Poweplay, ReportNet and either Decision Stream of Cognos or Oracle Warehouse builder may be used as ETL tool. For Data mining applications we are planning to use SPSS Clementine. The Data volume will be substantial one. At present we are developing some prototype in Windows 2003 advanced environment. We are plaiing to use Risc server and RAID-5. Pl. advice some ideal architecture for us, as you know, it's typically a Govt. level application data (mostly archival data). The reports will be published using Report Net, Adhoc query etc, OLAP analysis will be done using Powerplay.

  • Advantage of Lenovo drivers/applications over Windows 7?

    As operating systems mature there is less of a requirement for OEM drivers and applications. Many of the drivers/applications are designed for corporate customers specifically .e.g to give them a consistent interface across operating system versions and for other reasons that would not benefit an individual user. My windows 7 install works fine without any lenovo drivers.
    I know some drivers/applications offer increased performance and stability, but which ones? Some are obvious e.g. Ultranav utilty allows you to programme your ultranv to a greater degree than the standard driver. But what about the fingerprint driver for example? Why should we install it? It would be valuable if we knew through the driver/application readme's exactly what advantage they gave over standard windows 7. If anyone who has installed any of the below packages can comment on what the advantage is over over windows 7, I think it would help many people. Please add others to the list if neccessary.
    Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows 7
    Conexant Audio Software for Windows 7
    Integrated camera
    Intel GM45 Display Driver for Windows 7
    Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows 7
    Intel Wireless LAN (11bgn) for Windows 7
    Lenovo Fingerprint Software for Windows 7
    Lenovo System Interface Driver for Windows7
    Thinkvantage Access Connections for Windows 7

    For Access Connections, here's my list of user benefits over the embedded OS functions, noting that substantial work was done on all of the ThinkVantage tools for Win7 to minimize and performance or boot time hit and make them more stable.
    - More visual interface
    - Better connectivity information
    - Single interface for WiFi, ethernet, WAN, etc.
    - Auto switch for wired & wireless (fastest available network - e.g. wired and wireless can be handled in a single profile)
    - Integrated profiles for printers, browser favorites, security and more
    - Launch Programs associated with profiles (your VPN, instant messaging, etc.)
    There are many IT benefits to Access Connections that are still very valid for Win7 - pretty much all the TVT's have that story

  • Consumption of a lot of page file space with Solution Manager over windows

    HI guys,
    I have installed Solution Manager 4.0 SP10 over Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition. The server has 4 Gb of RAM and 10Gb of page file.
    Before to start Solution Manager the memory used is 500Mb and the used page file is 1Gbytes, but when I start Solman, the memory used grow up to 3.8 Gbytes and the pagefile to 7Gbytes.
    Is this behaviour normal?, should I need near to 8Gb to run SolMan in memory?
    does someone experience or tips regarding this is issue?
    Thanks in advance for your comments guys!!!!
    Regards Carlos Pozo.

    Hi Ragu,
    All SAP guides talk about aprox. 10Gb in Win and aprox. 20Gb (max.) in Unix.
    You are right (also....;-)   ), but my question is regarding the consumption of this page file, for example, we have XI 3.0 installed in AIX (ABAP+JAVA like Solman), and we have 8 Gbytes of RAM installed, in scenario we have in average 1.5Gbytes of free memory and not swap space used, that means in average XI use 6,5 Gbytes of memory (including DB instance, oracle 9.2), with at least 15 users connected, in contrast Solman has only one user connected and only 6 dialog wp and use almost 10Gbytes (adding RAM and SWAP space).
    Is normal that Solman 4.0 need so much memory to run?
    Do you know some way to decrease the swap consumption?.....
    I know, I know.......I'm asking almost for magic solutions......  

  • Advantages of smartforms over scripts

    hello folks,
    can any one list the advantages of smartforms over the scripts

    Hi,
    The Following are the differences :-
    a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
    b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
    c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
    d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
    e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
    f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
    It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
    In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
    In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
    For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
    g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
    Hope this will help u.
    Reward points if helpful.

  • Windows 98 won't install over Windows XP HDD

    Hello there!
    I am trying to install Windows 98 over Windows XP. However, I am having problems to do with formatting process. It goes up to 20% but stops and has an error saying something to do with the HDD. it is 32 Gigabytes and it offers "large hard disk support"
    in the setup.
    I can't boot up to XP anymore after the "formatting" of the HDD. Windows XP had a NTFS partition on it. When I realized that Windows 98 couldn't support NTFS, I tried to format with a downloadable Win xp recovery console (Basically a Win XP install
    disk without the installation files.) But it said it can't find fmrt.exe (or .com.)
    I don't know what to do now. Help Please!

  • Windows 7 home premium reinstall over windows 8

    Can I reinstall windows 7 home premium over windows 8?  I made the mistake of installing windows 8 as soon as it came out and I dislike it very much!  I want my 7 back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know where you have bought this notebook but I know, for instance, that many people who sold notebooks on the eBay write in description that notebook has preinstalled other Windows version but notebook has valid product key that can be used for any Windows activation.
    Fact is that this information is wrong.
    Every Toshiba notebook offered with preinstalled OS has Microsoft sticker at the bottom side but product key on it belongs to original version delivered with the notebook. With other words: this product key s useless.
    If I understand you right you have non-activated OS version preinstalled on this machine but also you don't have original recovery installation disc.
    Now you have two options:
    1/ To order original recovery disc (link posted by Tonny)
    2/ To install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc and pay for valid licence.
    In my opinion option to buy recovery disc is best for you. Using this disc in 2 hours you will have perfectly installed OS that will be activated and you will not have any problems anymore.
    After clean OS installation all you must do is to optimize it and configure for usage. Thats all.

  • What is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding?

    what is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding,that means if we are able to to create object at different instances at diff time for that sub class reff variable than what is the need of careating object of super class data type(i.e why always it is necessary to have upcasting for polymorphism?but if we can achive the same output without upcasting).....please tell me..lets have complete discuss..

    Seriously though....
    WebLogic (for which I have deployed many apps on) as
    well as Websphere are both high end Java application
    servers, meaning J2EE servers (in short). They allow
    one to deploy Enterprise Archive(EAR), a Web
    Archive(WAR), or an EJB Archive (in a JR file).
    These two servers allow one to deploy EJBs, use
    e JNDI, JMS, connectors, and other J2EE technologies
    - Tomcat does not. well, EJBs - no
    JNDI, yes - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
    JMS - yes (with an implementation, such as ActiveMQ: http://activemq.codehaus.org/Tomcat)
    Not sure what you mean by "connectors".
    Tomcat provides quite a bit of functionality (but yes, no EJBs)

  • Advantage of DMS over "Services for object" functionality

    Hi Experts,
    I have got very basic doubt about advantages of DMS Over existing standard functionality of SAP.
    We can attach documents or files to SAP Objects using "services for object" push button ( Next to title bar).
    So please answer for my below queries
    1. What is the disadvantage of using Services for Object??
    2. If I use services for object, then file is stored in SAP Data base or in my local drive??
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hello ,
    DMS Vs GOS
    DMS- Document Management System
    The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP R/3 offers the following distinct advantages over the current procedures and systems.
    u2022     It avoids data redundancy, maintains consistency of data and minimizes the workload involved in entering and updating data.
    u2022     In order to use large databases to the full, it is required to exchange data quickly and securely.  Data can be accessed directly using electronic search tools, or find documents using known parameters. 
    u2022     Document distribution functionality  (SAP-Workflow functionality is required)
    The SAP R/3 Document Management System meets all these demanding requirements.  In addition to managing documents, it also coordinates document processing.  It is possible to automate the entire life cycle of a document: from document creation to document storage, its access and its update.  Each document can be accessed immediately from any computer on the netwerk.
    GOS-
    All these DMS advantages are not available with GOS.
    The Detailed PPT of comparison is sent to your id.

  • Advantages of BPC over BI-IP

    Dear All,
    I am new to BPC NW and would like your expert views on some of my observations on the much debated advantages of BPC over BI IP.
    One of the benefits of BI IP was the integrated reporting capabilities with a common master data and combining the transaction data (actual and budget).  However, as I understand BPC is intentionally not integrated with backend BW.
    BW master data is different and separate from BPC master data, thus it is not possible to integrate BPC cubes with BW cubes. To view an actual vs plan comparison, data would need to be copied / loaded back and forth between the BW cubes and BPC cubes. However, it does not seem practical in scenarios where planning requires significant amount of actual data.  Moreover, this would mean multiple reporting interfaces for the users.
    BPC will be driven by Business users.
    What is it that we are empowering the business users with?  The ability to define his own dimensions / applications/ dimension members / Input schedules?
    Usually planning requirement is not just a simple input enabled screen. There are many more functionalities that would be required which would need writing of logic, code etc. Loading of master / transaction data requires creation of transformation, conversion files and data packages.  Obviously, these tasks would not be done by the business users.
    To be honest, I am slightly concerned over giving the business user a free reign on creating objects in the system. Without proper training, things could get out of hand with duplicate objects popping up everywhere in the system.  Another area of concern is possibility of modeling same data differently in BPC and BW. It might cause complexities while integrating the data between the two
    BPC seem to be targeted to facilitate financial planning. However, we require planning for areas outside finance (headcount, volume allocation / distribution etc).  I would have assumed that a reporting application of Type u2018Genericu2019 would have the flexibility to include only the required dimensions  as opposed to having to include the standard dimensions of type A, E, T and C.
    When compared to BI IP, I am not sure if BPC NW in its current form would be the best tool to deliver integrated planning in multiple areas.
    Having said that, these are still early days for BPC NW. Hopefully we will see a tighter integration of BPC NW with BW  and more flexible planning in non-financial areas in the future releases.

    Thank you for your statement regarding the issues of using BPC in the context of BW.  I very much appreciate your excellent comments. 
    Also thank you for providing the link to the statement about the advantages of using BPC because of the Excel user interface.  It certainly does appear that SAP marketing is trying to get customers to move to Business Objects and BPC.  Of course, it would be a strong advantage to be able to leverage the existing skills of Excel users. 
    We already own Integrated Planning and it appears to satisfy the immediate business requirements.  We would have to pay for the software licences for BPC, which we don't currently own.  Of course, we don't want to pay for these BPC licenses when we already own the IP licenses that will satisfy the requirements. 
    In addition, it indeed looks as though SAP is positioning BPC to use the Business Objects universe.  Although we know that, eventually, we will probably have to convert to selected components of Business Objects for business intelligence, we don't want to have to once again make another substantial investment in SAP business intelligence when we so recently made such a large investment in the SAP Business Information Warehouse.  We will have not yet earned our return on investment on the Business Informastion Warehouse. 
    Given the timing, we don't think it is fair that SAP expects companies to once again have to pay for the business intelligence software and to implement Business Objects, convert from the Business Information Warehouse to Business Objects, redevelop, retrain, and redeploy all the reports using the Business Objects tools.  The customers will incur additional costs because of the reimplementation, conversion, redevelopment, retaining, and redeployment of the reports.  Without this kind of consideration, in these economic times, it will be difficult for the installed base of companies to justify the conversion to Business Objects, and, consequently, for SAP to realize a reasonable return on its, not insignificant, investment in Business Objects. 
    SAP should provide an existing customer of the components of the Business Information Warehouse a migration path to the corresponding Business Objects components of comparable capabilities at no additional license fee as long as the customer is current on its maintenance.  Of course, adjustments in the license fees and annual maintenance fees should be made if there are differences in functional and/or quality capabilities between the corresponding components of the Business Information Warehouse and Business Objects. 
    In our situation, we already and recently made a significant investment in the Business Information Warehouse and the Business Explorer (BEx) tools, implementation, and reports development.  We don't want to have to pay to replace them with Business Objects.  We thought we already paid big-time for the business intelligence tools and reports.  We even paid for the BI Accelerator and have been very happy with its dramatic improvement on performance.  We fear that a commitment to BPC may soon commit us to Business Objects, the latter of which, so far, carries a very large price.

  • Printing Unix to Windows getting all the printers from the Windows machine

    Hi,
    My application prints Unix to Windows using the name of the machine and a generic virtual printer, but now I need to do some improvements, and I really don't know if it is possible to do what I've been asked to.
    A browsable page (jsp, html, applet, whatever) has to show all the available desktop printers and print a document that can be a .prn or a .pcl to the chosen printer.
    I've done a pilot project just to check what happens in Windows and what happens in Unix.
    when the server is Windows, everything works just fine, but when the server is Unix, of course, I get the " javax.print.PrintException: Printer is not accepting job.at sun.print.UnixPrintJob.print(UnixPrintJob.java:295 )" error.
    Is it possible to do something like this with only free software or I rather abandon the idea and face the users reaction? (upps!)

    Thanks for the answer.
    I think I'm not very lucky because SAMBA is not in place in my company...

  • Migrating Oracle 9i Unix to Windows 2000

    Dose anyone have any information on migrating an Oracle 9.2.0 database from Unix to Windows 2000. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Since the data files aren't compatible between the operating systems, you'll probably need to do an export and import to move the database. Other than that, it shouldn't be terribly difficult.
