ASM - Pros/Cons/Personal experience?

I am currently setting up 10g on a Solaris 10 x86 host. The file systems have already been created. This is my first experience with 10g and I was wondering:
how many of you are using ASM?
how do you like it?
what pitfalls can you help me to avoid?
do you recommend even using it?
thanks for all your responses. :)

Hi,
we had tested ASM on our development server and we faced lots of problem in 10g Rel1(without any patch).
So my conclusion is that directly go for 10g Rel 2.and must apply latest and available patches and always ready for Oracle Support if anyone is intrested to use it on production server.In ASM we have very limited control on it.because its working is totally hidden and very difficult to understand the ASM error messages.
Thanks

Pros & Cons of Using SAP PI Interfaces for Report Generation

Hi Guru's
I have a Scenario's like
I have to generate a customized report in SAP with the main data's available in SAP ECC and some required data available in the Legacy System.
I want to know the Pros & cons of using SAP PI RFC/Proxy adapter interface to get the data from the legacy system for each time the user execute the report in SAP ECC.
Thanks in Advance

There are couple of "dimensions" to consider in your PI interface design. For exemple when you are running the sizing exercise (Since we are considering adding a net new interface), you will need to capture specific information about new interface.i.e. S/A, adapters, frequency, avg payload size. etc..Note that the last two attributes will be hard to size properly in this case since you can't predict how frequent the end user will run the report which will impact the latency time required to pull the data. Latency will affect the user experience as visible side affect and definitely the SLA for other interfaces running at the same time.
On the other hand, the data you are trying to retrieve from the legacy won't be used for transactional purpose but for the end user to pull KPIs from the system which can affect ECC as well. You may end up doing lot hot fixes for your report (Assuming that the report is a medium complexity code)
There are other factors to consider but let's consider these are the major one.
Cheers,

Pros & Cons of FileVault

I'm wondering what the group thinks about FileVault? I haven't used it. I have two files on my computer that, if it were ever lost or stolen, would put information out there that I would rather keep to myself.
An overall Pro/Con discussion would be great.
Thanks.
Chip

Hi, Chip.
You're wise to ask.
I recommend that one only implement FileVault if you really need that level of security:• You have a laptop and travel with it.
• You share a Mac with others or your Mac is in an office easily accessible by others and you have personal, confidential information on such that must be protected across your Home folder.In lieu of FileVault, you can always protect data selectively using an encrypted disk image.
The key risk with FileVault is that you put "all your eggs" in one encrypted disk image. If a bad sector or block develops on the hard drive where the encrypted Home folder resides, your data is toast. Having a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, and using it regularly, is critical for all users, and especially important if you use FileVault. Most backup and recovery utilities require that you backup a FileVault-protected Home folder separately from the rest of your hard drive. If you use FileVault, I recommend you backup your encrypted Home folder daily.
Some additional advice should you elect to use FileVault:• Before implementing FileVault:• Check your disk thoroughly. At a minimum, run Steps 1-3 of the procedure in my Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption FAQ.
• You must have sufficient free space on your hard disk in order to enable FileVault. You need free disk space at least a bit larger than your Home folder in order for the encryption process to take place. That process copies your current Home folder into an encrypted, sparse disk image file (,sparseimage) — hence the need for the free space — and then securely erases your original, unencrypted Home folder when the copy has completed successfully.• Do not lose the Master Password for your Mac. This must be set in order to enable FileVault and is essential to recovering any encrypted Home folders on your Mac should a user forget their account password. The Master password should again be a "good" password: hard to guess or discern from publicly-available information about you.
• To avoid performance problems when using iMovie and either of Final Cut Pro or Express, save project-related files, scratch disks, and other linked media outside your Home folder. See:• “iMovie: Using FileVault Can Affect Performance.”
•“Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express: About Using FileVault.”
• Repairing your encrypted Home folder requires special instructions.
• To disable FileVault, you again need free disk space greater than or equal to the size of your encrypted Home folder. In disabling FileVault, your Mac first copies the contents of your Home folder from the encrypted Sparse image to a new Home folder — hence why so much free space is required — and then securely erases the encrypted Home folder.Note that some of the information above is from the "Security" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.

Pros & Cons of Currency Types of Profit Center

Hello,
I would like to know pros & cons of using group currency as a currency type of the profit center when PCA is implemented (TCode : 0KE5). We can set either Controlling Area Currency, Profit Center Currency or Group Currency as the Profit Center Currency Type. What precaution we need to take in each of these cases? It would be really great if somebody can explain with the help of example or shares practical experience of taking decision on which type to be used.

Hi
Trans currency is the currency you used in the transaction.. This is always recorded

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems?

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems? Are there any known limits as to how large a BI system can be until it experiences performance problems?
Thanks!

Hi,
I dont think there is any limit as long as your DB and Apps servers support it.
There are case studies on systems from 20 TB to 60 TB.
Regarding having two meduim installations it may not be a right choice if you consider facts like routine maintenance, DB upgrades and reorganization, number of resources required, number of DEV and QUAL servers required (this will increase as each PROD requires one DEV and one QUAL atleast).
If you have a single PROD you can do away with this.
One DEV , one QUAL and a single team of dedicated resources are required to maintain the system.

Oracle Best Practices Discussion Pros/Cons of using Synonyms

Please share your experience given the Pros/Cons of Developing Enterprise Database Applications using public and private Synonyms.
My recommendation to developers on my team is to avoid using Public Synonyms in their code and instead Fully Qualify the database object by schema owner.
Pros: When you drop a schema, you do not drop the public synonyms that they created. Therefore if you have to use synonym, make it private and not public.
Please share your experience!

Fahd Mirza wrote:
Well I rarely use public synonyms and that only case of db links. For example, I have a scenario, in which I have hooked up a MS SQLSERVER database with Oracle database through Heterogenous Services. I am accessing the SQLSERVER table in real time, through HS, in Oracle in real time, and then from this Oracle environment I have created db links to many other interested databases. In those interested database, I have created public synonyms over those dblinks.
It's so transparent for the interested databases. But I have documented this whole configuration in great detail for any upcoming DBA, just in case I leave, or expire or anything. Sounds interesting - this might be worth 'cleaning' and publishing to OTN's Articles.

Is FMS Unicast or Multicast? Pro/Con FMS vs WMS

Hello,
I have two questions:
Is FMS Unicast or Multicast?
What are the pros/cons with FMS vs WMS?
The reason for my questions is that my company has a Flash
Streaming Server and a Windows Media server and we would like
streaming video of conferences displayed on our Intranet. I have
setup the streaming service and am using flash media encoder.
However, we also stream other content to a windows media player and
the benefits of that is the ability to Multicast. I would like to
use FMS because I can customize the experience but I know I will
have to justify against a multicasting system
Thank you for your time

I had no idead that our 1000/40/ Unlimited would not be
sufficient. WOW
I am looking at the adobe pricing here
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/productinfo/pricing/
and I have a question regarding your suggestion of the
150/unlimited. I was under the impression that concurrent meant
simultaneous and how could I meet my 800 user needs with only 150
concurrent connections?
The FMS pro license has 3 profiles. You can choose one
profile per server, and the profile you select applies to all
licenses installed on that server (you can stack up to 10 licenses
on a single server).
Assuming you configure the server with the 150/unlimited
profile, you can accomodate 150 users simultaneously on a single
license, and they can each consume as much bandwidth as they want
(limited by the physical server and the internet pipe/LAN
bandwidth, of course). If you were to buy two licenses and put them
on the same server, you could have 300 users with no bandwidth
limits, 450 users with 3 licenses, and so on.
In the case of the 40/1000 license profile, each license on
the server will give you 1000 connections, or 40mpbs of throughput.
As soon as either one of those limits is reached, the server will
reject new connections until both the number of connections and the
bandwidth usage are below license limits. If you were to install 2
licenses under the 40/1000 profile, you can have 2000 concurrent
users, or 80mpbs of bandwidth, whichever comes first.
So, assuming you want to serve good quality video to 800
users simultaneously, you'll need 6 licenses... which will run you
somewhere on the order of $27,000

SAP GRC vs ACL (Pros & Cons)

We are starting to shop around for a good GRC solution so does anyone have any experience with the overall pros & cons between SAP and ACL?
Thanks,
Mika

Interesting... but I know whenever someone sells me a module based solution I have to ask the following question. Does the modules based solution actually work well when it's actually connected together. Most often or not the concept is great but when they actually try to deliver it's far from functional.
Secondly, what type of modules and standalone options are available?
Thanks,
Mika

Pro/cons to have indexes on its own tablspace

hi ,
i have a new db running on oracle 10G R2 , various table spaces have been created that can be extended from 8M , 2M , 128K
my dba recommends that large insertion/updates tables goes to the 8M tablespace , but i notice that the indexes of those tables are in the same tablespace
ques :
1. can index exists on its own tablespace
2 . are there pro/cons of having indexes in its own tablspace ?
tks & rgds

Not really the proper forum for this question. You should have rather posted the question to the [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=61]Database Forum
> 1. can index exists on its own tablespace
Yes.
> 2 . are there pro/cons of having indexes in its own tablspace ?
Maybe.. it depends entirely on what your requirements are, and the nature of the data and hardware.
One reason to place indexes in a separate tablespace is simply for space management. E.g. this prevents some idiot developer of eating up all the space for tables, by indexing each and every column in a table and swamping the tablespaces with indexes.
Another reason is block sizes. Tablespaces can each have a different block sizes. You may want to use large 128KB blocks for data and smaller 32KB blocks for indexes.
That all said - personally I tend these days to prefer a single tablespace per logical database/application. In the past (especially back in Oracle 7) I always separated indexes and tables. But Oracle space management has improved so much, and we're dealing with such large data volumes these days, I do not think it is warranted without some sound technical reason to split data and indexes.

How can I use firefox with pro con latte extention on a linux OS that runs via a USB?

What linux distro to use?
What version of firefox to use? (Since it has to be compatible with pro con latte)

Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

You can check the file prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and remove the line(s) related to that extension (procon.password).

Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?

Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?

Hi,
as such there is no DOC but I can share my views:
Under Pros:
a. PCD is an application use to migrate older versions[6.1.5, 7.x , 8.x] running on MCS to VM servers.
b.It can be used to change the IP address or hostname on new servers without affecting existing version .
c. Many users using MCS Hardware are not willing to migrate to latest version because of existing HW not supporting interim releases which they have to hop through to get on to the target release.
d. Further, this requires license re-hosting as well for interim releases and major downtimes as well which can be avoided by using PCD without disturbing existing setup.
e. Also, DRAM/HDD sizing needs to be considered while doing migration on MCS.PCD addresses these issues for migration.
Under CONS:
a. It needs to be ordered through Product Upgrade Tool and bootable is not downloadable from Cisco site.
b. You could face some issues while doing migration which could be bugs but can be resolved.
c.could face issues while discovering cluster/doing migration but can be resolved.

What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

Used Firefox for a long while. Bookmarks morphed to Xmarks, which in turn has been acquired twice. I continue to use the newer Xmarks. In process of setting up a new computer, found that Firefox has it's own bookmarks sync.
Like to keep things as simple as possible. Does Firefox sync do all that Xmarks does? What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

I am not in a business environment, just my home. So, I don't know your specific requirements. I operate a dual G5 xserve, a dual quad-core mac pro, 6+ Apple MacOSX computers of varying types and several other linux servers plus a couple of Windows machines. If it were me, I would get two mac pro's running MacOSX Server and use one for backup of the other. The xserve RAID is too expensive from my point of view. I copy data from the xserve to several MacOSX computers with firewire drives for my backup and I have every computer on a ups. (I am assuming that they will not all fail at once!
I run Tiger servers and would suggest that you significantly test Leopard before committing to it.
Hope that helps.
