Few basic questions on deployment

Hi Experts,
I have never worked on deployment. Hence have some few basic/conceptual questions.
1. Can I run just deployment (heuristics/optimiser) without running SNP planning?
2. Does deployment run change/modify the SNP orders created? If yes, then what are the paramenters that deployment run changes (order date, qty, from/to location etc)? Does deployment run create new/fresh orders also?
3. What is the difference between deployment heuristics run and deployment optimiser run?
4. What is the disadvantage to have just SNP planning run and dont have deployment runs?
Regards
Manotosh

Hi Manotosh,
Please find my responses below
1. Can I run just deployment (heuristics/optimiser) without running SNP planning?
Any distribution demand based deployment (pull dep /push strategies that deploy based on demand) needs a demand propagation run like heuristic or a planning run like optimizer. If you are using Push strategies that do not consider demands like (push by quota) you do not need a preceding heuristic run. Deployment optimizer does not need a heuristic run. Real time deployment does not need a heuristic run.
2. Does deployment run change/modify the SNP orders created? If yes, then what are the paramenters that deployment run changes (order date, qty, from/to location etc)? Does deployment run create new/fresh orders also?
There are 3 modes available in deployment (/sapapo/SNP02)
DO NOT CHANGE mode - This is just simulation of deployment results. orders are not created.
REDUCE mode - Heuristic orders are reduced to the extent of orders confirmed by deployment. Unconfirmed heuristic orders are not deleted.
DELETE mode - Unconfirmed heuristic orders are deleted.
Deployment heuristic only confirms heuristic orders ( some exceptions are push deployment wuth push by quots strategy as explianed above). Real time deployment /Deployment optimizer can create fresh orders.
3. What is the difference between deployment heuristics run and deployment optimiser run?
Deployment optimizer works based on costs and tries to generate the cost optimal solution for stock transfers.
It is similar to SNP optimizer but it does not created pur reqs or plnd orders only stock transfers. Dep optimizer does not require a preceding heuristic run.
Dep heuristic does not work based on costs bust based on the actual distribution demand propagated by heuristic and based on target stock reqmt & the pull /push /fairshare strategies...
4. What is the disadvantage to have just SNP planning run and dont have deployment runs?
SNP planning run (heuristic) is un constrained planning, the stock transfers are created to the extent of net requiremetns without considering the stock/capacity avaiablity at source, so it cannot be executed. A process like deployment is required to check how much of the heuristic orders can actually be executed considering executable receipts.
Optimizer does not require deployment as such because it considers available receipts (constrained planning). You can directly execute optimizer results. SOme scenarios you may need Deployment & optimizer runs together.
For example if you take weekly optimizer runs which create /stock transfers planned orders but you want to move stocks every day based on actually completed production. Then you can run deployment every day based on receipts actually available.

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

Few basic questions

Hello
I would have a few very basic questions concerning solman4 and customer messages in future after 1st november (and now) .
1.What is situation at the moment. We get customer messages in SOLMAN 4.0(when entered via /nnotif_create.
BUT when I try to send message from solman to SAP (I change status to sent to SAP and I enter some text in area information for SAP ) I do not get answer from SAP.
Is this situation regular at the moment. If not please let me know what I should do.
(when I enter message in service.sap.com->messages>I get SAP response in SOLMAN(But as far as I understood this will not be so after 1st November or 1st january 2007..)
2.What is ment as SP 8 and 9 :
a)SAP SOLUTION MANAGER TOOL
b) SAP SOLUTION MANAGER IMPLEMENTATION CONT
c)SAP SOLUTION MANAGER SERVICE TOOLS
or something else...
3.I have set a rule in transaction PFAC_RESPO in relation to organisational plan in PPOMA_CRM (simulation works fine but the messsages does not follow this rule (they belong to everyone). What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your attention

If you really need to do a shutdown abort, then issue a SHUTDOWN ABORT. With a kill -9 pmon||smon , the shared memory may not get cleared sometimes. The shutdown immediate does remove the share memory segment.
In general, you should use shutdown immediate.
Do NOT do (cold) database backups after a shutdown abort. Cold backups should be done after a NORMAL or IMMEDIATE shutdown.
PFILE are still useful as "text mode" backups of the SPFILE (using "CREATE PFILE FROM SPFILE")

A few basic questions....

Hi all,
Been a busy bee learning java in the past few weeks and I have a few basic (yet varied) questions....
When declaring Strings, what is the difference between: -
String myString1 = "This is a String";and
String myString2 = new String("This is also a String");When writing to a outputstream using a channel to a file, how do you write on a new line when appending? This code (which I think should write each string to a separate line each time it is run only seems to write to the same line.
public static void main(String[] args) {
        String phrase = new String("Garbage in, garbage out\n");
        String dirName = "C:/Beg Java Stuff";       // Directory name.
        String fileName = "byteData.txt";
        File aFile = new File(dirName, fileName);
        // Create the file output stream.
        FileOutputStream file = null;
        try {
            file = new FileOutputStream(aFile, true);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(System.err);
        // Create the channel to the file.
        FileChannel outChannel = file.getChannel();
        ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(phrase.length());
        byte[] bytes = phrase.getBytes();
        buf.put(bytes);
        buf.flip();
        try {
            outChannel.write(buf);      // Write the bytes to the channel.
            file.close();               // Close the output stream and the channel.
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(System.err);
    }On a related note, could someone please explain the concept of "flipping" the buffer?
Okay, the last (and most general question)....about JSP and Servlets...
I understand how JSPs work (as I've used ASP in the past). However, I'm not sure how Servlets fit into the web application universe. I know you can generate HTML via Servlets by using println()'s and its sometimes easier to use JSP with a lot of HTML. It seems that most people seem to use both Servlets and JSPs. If I had a web page with data that I wanted to communicate to a Servlet, how would I go about this? Following on from that, where would you logically use Servlets instead of JSP's and vice versa?
Sorry for the generalisation of this question, but I just don't get how Servlets fit into the greater scheme of things.
Thanks for any help with these questions. :)

Hi,
I'm also a beginner myself but I'll tell you what I
know...
About the strings, I think both expressions give the
same result, the second expression
String myString2 = new String("This is also a
String");calls the constructor of the string class, providing
it with a value for this new string being created. I
think the first expression is a shortcut which is
probably converted to the second expression by the
compiler.
See previous answer.
About JSP and servlets, you say you have done some
ASP, are you also familiar with ASP.NET? because if
you are, it's pretty easy to understand that JSP is
like ASP in the aspx file, whereas a servlet is like
the codebehind file containing C# or VB code, the
aspx.cs file
A JSP is compiled into a servlet by the JSP engine, but it's important to note that servlets have a life of their own outside of JSPs. You can write a servlet without a JSP, but you can't write a JSP and not end up with a servlet.
Servlets are Java's more efficient answer to CGI scripts. - MOD

Before upgrading iPhone to 3.0 beta a few basic questions!

We have a few apps up in the store, and I want to upgrade them, so I suppose I need to upgrade my iPhone now to the beta 3.0 firmware.
Before doing so, I'd like to ask those who have gone before me a few simple questions.
(1) I don't have anything on my iPhone that is earth-shatteringly important. But if I need to, can I restore to OS 2 and get my old email settings and apps back?
(2) What does updating to the beta 3.0 firmware really mean? Will I get to preview all the core OS 3.0 apps, including the search features, new Camera, Mail and Safari apps, etc.? If so, that sounds like fun.
(3) What happens when I synch with iTunes while the beta 3.0 firmware is installed? Will normal synch still work?
Thanks for any tips or advice on this. I can't afford to get another iPhone device just to maintain my current apps.

Few basic questions on collaboration

Hi,
I am new to Collaboration, so thought someone could help me with this. I have already gone through documentation and I got some basic questions regarding COllaboration.
a) I want to create a collaboration room. what are the portal roles that will be helpful for me. i.e is it ok if i assign CollaborationRoomCreation Role to the guy who creates a room (he will be admin and room owner, let us say "roomadmin") and a Collaboration Role to members. is it required to assign the content admin and system admin for the collaboration room administrator. Isnt it cumbersome that each time a room owner invites a member, he should also notify user amdinistrator to assign "collaboration" role to the member in question.
Note: We are just using standard templates provided by SAP.
b) and once roomadmin creates the room and includes a memnber for this room, will that particular user be automatically assigned the workset "Collaboration" which is in the Role "Collaboration" or should he contact user admin to assign the Collaboration role to the member that roomadmin has added.
c) afaik, we can create documents, links, discussions, ratings, comments, feedback, reviews on documents in collaboration rooms. arent these KM functions that are being used in Collaboration
e) arent the docs and folders created in collaboration rooms be available in KM content workset, if so where can i find them?
I have anotehr set of questions, but thought that i could seperate into two threads..becuase these questions itself carries 10 points.
Please help me in this regard.
thanks
P.S: would be great if you could just give me atleast oneline answer instead of giving links to help/sdn..as i already gone through documentation and didnt understand the above concepts.

hi,
its not necessary to assign content admin and System admin role. collaboration room creation role contains room directory iveiw thats more than enough for room creation. assign room creation role to ur administrator and for all other user you can assign a role called EU_role.
By assinging that role, u wil get to see a workset called "home" in ur TLN.inside this workset u have a tab called rooms. the end user can see all types of room here.
so its not needed to assign collaboration role to all end users.

Few basic questions about sharing and other stuff..

Hi there!
First of all I know where are "101" pages, but they are not giving detail information.
1.I know there are some folders where I can put files, web-sites and other in order to enable sharing.
What do I have to do to enable other users (from internet to)
- view my webpage when they enter my IP address in browser
- to access files which I want them to be able to acces (with user and password required)? I know there is sth like sharing, and windows sharing, but I give access to my all user folder, do I have to create new accounts on my mac?
2. It's kind of small problem, but can I run apps in finder using only keyboard (enter causes rename action)
3. Why doesn't safari keep addresses I used in addres field after few days?
The most important question is 1.
Will be gratefull for help.
Thanks
Adam Mscisz

1. Start Personal Web Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences; if you have a router between your computer and the Internet, ports 80 and 443 need to be forwarded to your computer. You can set this up from the router's configuration page, which is accessible by finding the router address in the Network pane of System Preferences and putting it into a web browser. See this article for instructions on how to password protect your shared files.
2. You can use the Command and O keyboard shortcut to open the selected item in the Finder.
3. The default setting in Safari is to keep the history for 7 days. You can use the method posted by ptejad in this article to extend the time Safari remembers the history for. The method at the top of the linked page won't work in Tiger.

A few basic questions under pressing time....

Hello Everybody,
under pressing time I have following questions:
1
On Server 1 open Solaris 2009.06 (oSol) is deployed and DSEE is installed on it and running.
On Server 2 I plan to deploy Solaris10 U7 and use LDAP as naming system (being configured for DSEE on Server1).
What is the consequences, advantages for Solaris10 U7 (on Server2) as a Unix LDAP Client and for the Solaris Management Console (SMC)? Does it mean all system resources (as Solaruis User, Roles, etc.) will be kept in the DIT and not more in files?
Can you provide me a link to a document relating to SMC and LDAP?
2 What is the relationship between LDAP profile and DSEE's Schema?
3
What is a LDAP Profile?
Except Default Profile created by deployment and configuration of DSEE, when I need to create additional profiles and how I do this? (just link to a document describing it is enough.)
4 Does Solaris OS (Solaris 10-U7 AND open Solaris) include the LDAP Server software or just only the LDAP Client?
Please help, even partly
Thanks in advance.
aski

Thank you for your answers.
I miss an answer to the question nr. 1 AND 2, cuz I' don't know, when I have to set a Solaris box as a LDAP client.
For a deployment in a school, on this Solaris box the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 (SRSS) must be installed and uses the Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 (already running on a OpenSolaris-driven box) for data store. In this context, is it NECESSARY, that host of SRSS (*Solaris 10 U7*) must be a LDAP client?
I'm not clear about what is the benefits, advantages and site effects of having a Solaris instance as a LDAP client for the OS itself AND for server applications (like SRSS), running on it while requiring a Directory Server (the same LDAP server, serving the Solaris instance too) .

A few (basic) questions about the iPhone

I just got my iPhone 3GS about a week ago. I am very new to the whole smartphone arena, so some of my questions my seem stupid. Please be kind regardless.
I've learned a lot about the iPhone by trial and error (pressing buttons to see what happens) but one thing I just discovered was the multitasking bar. When I accessed it, I saw every app I had run since I got the phone displayed in the multitasking bar. And I know that by holding the icons on the bar, you can bring up a red minus sign, touch it, and remove that app from the bar. My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network. It will automatically join my home network (for example, when I go somewhere and come home, it will switch back to my home network automatically), but it won't do this with, for example, the wifi network at McDonald's even though I did go through the setup and make that network a known network. Am I mistaken in thinking the phone should do this automatically, or do I have to search for the network every single time? Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those? I understand this question may be confusing, so I can try to clarify if need be.
My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Only the last 4 apps to be run are actually active and in RAM. The others are swapped out to flash memory in a saved state (i.e you should be able to resume where you left off, if the app is written to support that). They don't therefore drain battery. I close all apps down from time to time (every few days) just to keep things neat.

It should automatically list new networks when (a) you're in range and (b) you try to connect to the internet (e.g. browse to a web page or check for email)

So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
The issue is not which drains more battery, but which you need to connect to the internet. Where you have wifi access, switch off 3G, where you have 3G, switch off wifi.

New Pro-100 owner: a few basic questions

I'm excited to have just set up a brand new Pro-100. It looks huge on the desk, although I expected that. I am eager to print some nice 13x19 in photos. My local camera store had a special when I bought it, that it included a 50-sheet package of the 13x19 Canon Pro Luster paper (LU-101). I also have a package of 20 sheets of letter size Canon Photo Paper Plus - Glossy, that I'd never opened.
I've read a lot, and watched youtube videos, so have some ideas of what to do, but I am basically new to home printing. I have a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and recently got a Dell U2413 monitor which I have calibrated with the X-rite ColorMunki Display. I have Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC (via the monthly subscription), and plan to mainly print from Lightroom, of course using ICC profiles for whatever paper I use, for this printer.
Here are my questions (for now):
1. If I only print once every week or 2, is it better to leave the printer power on all the time, or to turn the power off when not using it?
2. I have read it is best, to avoid clogs, and for other reasons, to be using the printer fairly regularly. One person suggested I try to print something, even if just 8x10, once a week. The reading I've done suggests that this printer doesn't clog so easily, but is there a recommended schedule as to the longest time period I should go without printing?
3. Since Lightroom has an excellent print module, which can use ICC profiles, am I best off printing from that, or should I use Canon Print Studio Pro? I installed the Print Studio pro plugins for Lightroom and Photoshop, but if I use the plugin in Lightroom, would that take me out of the Print module?
4. After setting up the printer, I had it do the print head alignment. Should I also do a nozzle check, or is that only needed if a problem?
thanks,
Neil

Congratulations on getting a great printer. Here's my advice.
1. Activate the Auto On feature, which will let the printer app turn on printer. I've read that it saves ink because the printer doesn't have to go through a startup cycle.
2. I have gone more than two weeks, but never more than a month without printing. Never had an issue with clogs.
3. The advantage of Print Studio Pro is that it handles all the "internal" printer driver settings that are required when letting the printer manage color. It also has some nice "tuning" features. I've compared PSP and LR printing and can't see a difference. So I print from LR.
4. For initial setup I did a nozzle check and print head alignment. Quick, easy and assures correct operation.
5. Download this test image and print it without making any adjustments.

A few basic questions by a FCP switcher

Hello,
I'm doing the switch. FCP has been my platform for 13 years and (yes, sadly) I decided to leave it. I'm working for TV and channels like National Geographic, so I need power and modern software.
I then have a few questions... and many suggestions. I'll get these written down and post them on the requested features page but first, a few Q that have been bothering me since my start...
1 - /keyboard shortcuts
I'm glad I could choose for the FCP7 shortcut mode. Good point Adobe! Nevertheless,:
-> how can I add a "double-key" shortcut, as "rr" or even, a triple-key one?
-> Shortcuts seems not to be active-window aware. Is there a way to do so? I don't mean totally different shortcuts but for instance the "zoom to sequence" in the TL and the "zoom to source monitor"/"zoom to program monitor" could have the same shortcut, acting appropriately in the respective window... Is that possible?
-> About the "M" for add marker, if in Premiere Pro (default) shortcut mode, it does a good job as in FCP, adding a marker to the Sequence or to the Clip, depending on if a clip is selected or not. Great, but if I set the shortcuts in the FCP7 mode, and add manually the "M" shortcut for "add marker", it doesn't see the difference. Same goes for the "edit marker" that works well in the default mode when on a marker, but not if the FCP mode is chosen... Can someone help on that?
2 - /Audio
-> Volume KFs can't be copied-pasted to another track. Neither via "Paste Attributes" nor via KF copy/Paste. Hey guys, FCP did that already 6 years ago... I hope I don't have to tell about the absolute need to be able to do so (when you've worked out your music under a VO and more and that your EP asks you to use another cue... for instance...). Please can someone tell me how to, or Adobe: make this a priority for the next update.
-> the making/editing/moving of volume KF is pretty sluggish... It's not always, but quite often, my audio track blinks crazily when I do that, next to the fact that my cursor is very "sticky" after moving the kf, changing therefore their position as I'm moving away from where I left them.
3 - /Reveal clip in Project
-> An of course unmissable feature! But I seem to be able to do it only from the TL, and not form the Source monitor... Really unhandy if this is the case. Can someone tell me more if I mistake?
I've plenty of other Q but I don't want to bother you guys too much in one go. And I must say, I feel a bit strange to have to get back to Forums for simple things after 13 years professional editing for TV but ok... That's how it is.
In any case, thanks a lot to who can give me a few tips about these issues.
@ Adobe: You are on the right path to get most of the fcp editors.. Please keep on listenning and implementing; it shows your good will ! There's still many improvments that can be done. THANKS!

Hi fede7,
There is no double or tripple tap capability for tool selection in Premiere Pro, sorry.

I was able to copy/paste attributes with audio keyframes to a different track. You can file a bug on that.

Mine looks and feels OK. You may want to file a bug on that one too.

This works. Just right click or control click on the Source Monitor.

New To Logic (A Few Basic Questions)

I purchased Logic 7.2 the other day and have ran into a few questions...
1. Can I set up Logic to have the same key commands as Pro Tools? If so, how would I do this?
2. I recently was using Reason, and they had sounds that you could purchase called refills. Is there any sounds made just for logic like that?
3. Where do I find the sound collections for logic?
Thanks for the help...
Mac OS X (10.4)

Welcome to the forum,
1. There is a key command set for Pro Tools users, but I don't use it. It is always a good idea to do a search on this forum before you formally ask a question. I typed in 'Pro Tools key commands' and this is what i got:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2799103&#2799103
2. Look in to the Garageband Jam Packs (Garageband is like a baby brother to Logic). Great value for the money. I would recommend any of them to anyone looking to add to their sound library.
3. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?find=ja m+pack&btn.x=0&btn.y=0
Hope that helps

A Few Basic Questions About Random Shut Downs (RSD)

i think my month and a half old macbook has "RSD", its a white 13 inch which i bought refurbrished, Iv got a few questions about RSD and apple serice
First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it soemthing you really have no influence over?
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long might it take (it has to ship from new england if that means anything)?
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had problems?
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
and last should i expect to lose everything on the harddrive ifg i send it in?

First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it
soemthing you really have no influence over?
You can't avoid it. You can temporarily reduce it by:
1. Holding down the power button at startup until it beeps.
2. Setting your energy saver settings so it doesn't sleep.
But over time, even those strategies will fail to help.
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long
might it take (it has to ship from new england if
that means anything)?
I took mine to the Apple Store last Wednesday and it was overnighted to the repair center. It was delivered back to me the this Wednesday. So it took one week in my case. I know there are folks that sent theirs in before I did that had to wait longer, but I think that's because there was a parts shortage.
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had
problems?
The first time I sent mine in it worked fine for three weeks and then the RSD returned, but that was because Apple really didn't know at the time what the problem was. By the time I sent it in the second time, they had just concluded that a heatsink replacement would fix the problem. Hopefully they were right - only time will tell, since the issue generally seems to take a few weeks or more to occur.
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in
sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with
it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
It will get worse over time. If it only happens rarely, they might not be able to replicate the problem if you take it in for service right away. (The first time I took it to the Apple Store they couldn't get it to shut down. By the time I took it in the second time, it was predictable enough that I knew it would shut done right after they turned it on - then they sent it in for service.) If it happens fairly regularly (like every time you start it after its been sitting for awhile, or any time you wake it from sleep), then definitely take it in. Supposedly they really do know how to fix it now.
and last should i expect to lose everything on the
harddrive ifg i send it in?
Both times that I got mine back all of my data was intact. However, it is always good practice to do a full backup before you send it in -- just in case.

A few basic questions from a new user - backups, moving files, sharing

I'm a Mac user considering getting an iPad. I'm hoping someone can clue me in to some basic aspects of the experience:
1) are backups easy? can you "clone" it (the way I do with my desktop and laptop) so that everything (content, settings, preferences, etc.) can be restored exactly in the event something happens to it?
2) how does one move files to it? Specifically, PDFs - I have a ton of PDFs I plan to be reading on this thing. Does it show up as a drive (drag-and-drop) when connected to my desktop machine, or does it work through a special conduit or? Does it have a filesystem we can see?
3) is there any notion of "users" - can multiple people share it and have their own sets of preferencs settings/content?
4) is the iPad 2 date still best estimated as April? I need it for a trip in mid-March and I don't want to buy the 1st model if the second is coming out shortly thereafter. Is there any likelihood of having it be available in the first week of March? If not, is there a good place (on-line) to rent one for a week perhaps?
thanks in advance!
Mike

1, yes they are easy, but they are not a clone. When connected to iTunes on your computer you just tell it to backup. That will backup your notes, settings, app data, but not synced data (i.e. not your music, films or contacts and calendars synced from your computer).
2, via iTunes, not as a drive. PDFs can be dragged into iTunes and then synced to the iPad to go into the (free downloadable) iBooks app. Alternatively you can buy an app like Goodreader which allows you to transfer PDFs wirelessly from your computer (can also be used to read/store PDFs emailed as attachments).
3, no. There is only one set of options. If you have children (or even other adults) then you can set a passcode to restrict access to, for example, Safari, iTunes, or the ability to install and delete other apps. But it's basically a single user setup.
4, speculation as to what Apple may, or may not, be planning is prevented by the terms of use of these forums. All that can be said here is that no new version has been announced, and when/if one is it will be on the apple.com frontpage. You should ask yourself whether the current one meet most, if not all, of your requirements, not whether some unannnounced item might.

New to Internet Sales for ERP - Few basic questions.

Hi,
We are going to implement Internet Sales for ERP and I have some questions.
1) Is Product Catalog Mandatory for implementing Internet Sales for ERP / R3?
2) We are already using MDM for catalog and we are not the Product Catalog module in R3. Will there be a problem implementing MDM into ISA? Has anyone implemented ISA with MDM as product catalog?
3) We are planning to make it an extra-net application; what is the best architecture placement of the ISA server? Should we have it in DMZ or outside DMZ. What is the best approach among option a and b?
a) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver + ISA server -- Internal Firewall -- ERP
b) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver -- Internal Firewall -- ISA server + ERP
Please Enlighten.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
1) Is Product Catalog Mandatory for implementing Internet Sales for ERP / R3?
Catalog is an independent piece of feature and integrated to the basket (or the selling process). You can hide the internal catalog by a switch in the Shopadmin XCM administration - Catalog tab._But_ you may still need a catalog (internal) for reading variant data. However, no replication is required.
2) We are already using MDM for catalog and we are not the Product Catalog module in R3. Will there be a problem implementing MDM into ISA? Has anyone implemented ISA with MDM as product catalog?
ISA works with external catalogs with ease. All you need is to make use of the Open catalog Interface (OCI) feature. After all, OCI is a SAP technology, and all its products must be capable of understanding it. Isn't it? SAP MDM catalog is OCI enabled.
3) We are planning to make it an extra-net application; what is the best architecture placement of the ISA server? Should we have it in DMZ or outside DMZ. What is the best approach among option a and b?
a) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver + ISA server -- Internal Firewall -- ERP
b) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver -- Internal Firewall -- ISA server + ERP
(b)
Please Enlighten.
