Question about creating child domains "before" parent

Ok, this is most probably a noob question.
My company (A.com), has a DNS zone in a linux server with records pointing to different web pages, example: radio.a.com, www.a.com, webmail.a.com, etc..
For a specific service, I need an Active directory domain called: daas.A.com
Thing is, I don't have an AD domain A.com in place. So my question is:
Do I need to create an AD domain for A.com before creating the one that I need?
If I don't, and I just create the daas.A.com as a new forest, will I be able to add an A.com domain in the future as parent?
As per DNS records in the linux box, I guess I would only need a NS pointing to the DNS of the new domain, and an A record resolving that to an IP. or Something like that..
Thanks!

Yes, even if initially it is an empty root, otherwise the child domain will become the forest root.
So the A.com domain will need to duplicate those records that Linux currently hosts otherwise AD clients will start having name resolution issues. If you just need to stand up AD for one application then I would go ahead and standup the empty root, add the
child domain, install the service that needs AD and go from there. That is if you think at some point you will use the a.com domain.
Active Directory will actually create 2 zones (A.com and _msdcs.A.com)
Daas.A.com will have 1 dns zone daas.a.com and will also utilize the _msdcs.a.com
So I have been in environments which have had both a windows dns server and a Linux dns server, eventually after enough duplication of records in both areas and the pain points that caused, we have retired the Linux dns servers and just used the AD DNS servers
(with the exception of DNS servers that were internet facing which we kept on Linux) Primarily the ease of administration and the fact that AD and DNS are tightly coupled.

A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

How to create child part from Parent Item - BLOW UP Master - Automatically

Hi to All,
Have any one defined this process?
To create child part from Parent Item - BLOW UP Master - Automatically ie. we receive FG from customer which we need to blow up to its child part. In that case, FG should be consumed & child parts should be generated in stock.
We tried with recursive, but the stock of FG was again generating with recursive.
Ex. FG after receiving from customer in stock 1
Child parts (with offtake 1) X1, X2, X3 in stock zero.
After processing, FG stock should be zero & X1, X2, X3 = 1.
Regards
Nitin

Create a BOM for one of the "child" parts that has the "FG from customer" as a component and all the other child parts are negative quantity components (by products).
To make it simple have all the components backflushed and auto goods receipt the child in the BOM header. Create a production order, then process the confirmation (this will auto goods receipt the 1st child, consume by backflush the "FG from customer" and put the other child parts into stock as by products.
You will need to get your material prices correct first so that there is minimal variance in the production order.

Fastest way to create child class from parent?

As the subject states, what do you folks find is fastest when creating child classes directly from the parent? (esp. when the parent is in a lvlib) I thought I'd post up and ask because the fastest way I've found to get working takes a few steps.
Any suggestions ae appreciatized!
-pat

Thanks for the quick response Ben!
Yea, I apologize, in your response I realize my OP was more than vague haha (it hapens when you get used to your own way of doing things I guess huh)- I'm trying to create a child from a parent so that it has all of the methods that the parent has.
In order to do so I currently have to open and close LV a few times during my current process so that vi's in memory dont get mixed up- Currently I save a copy of the parent class in a sub dir of where it is saved, close out of LV, open the new 'copy of parent.lvclass', save as>>rename 'child class.lvclass', close LV, and open up the project to 'add file', then right click>>properties>>inheritance.
Is this the only way to do this?
Thanks again!

p.s. I'm tempted to steal your cell phone sig, hope you dont mind haha good stuff!

Time Sync from Child domain to Parent doamin

Now the time in our child domain is fast 2 Mins than parent domain, how to sync the time by what command ?

Hi,
By default, the PDC Emulator of the Forest Root Domain is considered as the best time source in an Active Directory forest. Other domain controllers
in the Forest Root Domain use it for time synchronization while domain controllers in child domains use the PDC Emulator or any domain controller from parent domain for time synchronization. Member servers and Workstation use domain controllers in their domain
for time synchronization. With this hierarchy, we can maintain a reliable time synchronization system that allows avoiding Kerberos failure issues in an Active Directory domain. This configuration is by default in an Active Directory forest and does not need
to be changed.
As mentioned by SH.Hashemi, we can run command
w32tm\resync to resynchronize the clock as soon as possible, disregarding all accumulated error statistics.
Regarding time synchronization in active directory, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Thinkpad W530: Questions about creating recovery disk

Hi there.
My machine is thinkpad W530. Recently I had several problems with it so, I decided to recovery the system to the factory setting. However, it didn't work when the OS restarted and entered to Rescue and Recvery screen. I did follow the lenovo official instruction but I got a eorror happened, it said "recovery failed" and the recovery process was stucked.
In addition, I tried to create a recovery disk and it failed, too. The lenovo said I could have only one recovery disk but I don't rember I had created a disk before. I checked the doucments in driver Q:\factoryrecovery, I also didn't find the "service done_ini".
Anyone knows pls help me and your assistance is really apprecated.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with OS on ThinkPad W530.
As you have done all the troubleshooting steps to perform system restore and you are not able to complete the process because of error.
This kind of issue occurs when you have done changes in the HDD partition before creating the recovery disc. Hence the system factory restore option will not work.
Since you have mentioned that the recovery media has not created for the machine, the only option is visiting the nearby authorized service center for the further assistance.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps!

A question about creating READ ONLY users.

Dear all,
I have a question about read only user accounts and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have a schema named SCHEMA1. Whenever I want to connect by using sqlplus I run the following:
sqlplus user1/[email protected] SCHEMA1.WORLD is the entry in the tnsnames.ora referring to the schema SCHEMA1.
I need to create a read only user who is able to SELECT all tables and views created by user1 on SCHEMA1 (this user will not modifiy anything at all. The user is used only for a person using SQL queries to read data). for several tables I write the grants explicitly, for example:
CREATE USER user2 IDENTIFIED BY user2;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user2;
GRANT SELECT ON S001_COR_ECLASS TO user2;
GRANT SELECT ON REF_ECLASS511 TO user2;Is there anyway to do the same thing but for all the tables (because there are a lot of tables and views)? Besides, even with these granted permissions when the user connects with SQL Developer to the database, he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUI. What causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Hello Dariyoosh,
he is not able to view the list of tables/views in SQL Developer GUIyou can either go to "Other Users" - user1 - tables. There you see every table you have permission to select.
Or you can create a synonym in schema2 for each table in schema1 and set a filter on the tables node of user2 "Include synonyms".

Question about File Content Conversion and parent-child relationships...

Hello!
     I have read probably every blog, article and SAP Help document on the topic, but I am stuck on this one. I am trying to convert a General Ledger flat file to an IDoc using the classic file --> IDoc scenario. The setup is done and working, but the IDocs are formatted incorrectly and I believe at least part of the reason is how I am converting the file content.
The root of my problem is that the flat file has a parent-child relationship between the document header and the document item and I want to maintain that since the IDoc type (FIDCCP01) has the same structure in the BKPF and BSEG segments.
Here is the flat (non-XML) file layout that is coming into the file adapter:
FileHeader
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
and so on (until the number of documents is complete
I would really like the content to be converted so that the line items stay under their parent document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
   <ItemHeader>
   </ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
   <ItemHeader>
</ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
But I keep getting this, where it lists the document headers first (one after another), and then all of the line items after the document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<ItemHeader></ItemHeader>
Is is possible to maintain that parent-child relationship from the flat file and pass it over to the XML?
Thanks,
John

Question about creating Stack!!

Can someone please help me....I need help on creating a stack..I don't understand the whole point of stack..I help on how to this question...please show me how to start this question..
You are to implement a class called Stack using arrays as internal storage mechanisms . Note well, you cannot use the java Stack class. You are to implement the following instance methods (interfaces are provided below)....etc

It sounds to me as if you need to understand the nature of a stack before you go about implementing it. Use http://www.google.com and search for "stack data structure java". There are a number of good references available there.

Question about creating Forms in Java.

Hello , im new to Java , i find kinda weird how Java creates Forms , its pretty simple in Oracle Forms ,
why did Java designers make it this difficult ? do people say this is something bad about Java ?
when i learned about the Layout Managers that Java provides i found out how much code one have to write just to create a simple form ,my question to the experienced java developers : what do you do to create a form , do you hard code it ? , or do you use something like GUI Builder in an IDE like NetBeans for example? and is the code generated by this builder easy to deal with and modify ?
Thanks ....

But the truth is that Oracle Forms application tie down all the components in fixed pixels. The typical Swing form can be resized and can function at different screen resolutions. So, when designing a Java form, we don't tend to work on a fixed grid but define the sizes and positions relative to other components. What's more the interface between the form elements and the data is completely flexible, and flexibility means extra effort.

Most I've tried have been a bit of a straitjacket, but I've recently been using the latest Netbeans offering and it's pretty good. I think the breakthrough was the introduction of the GroupLayout layout manager. This is a layout manager really designed for WYSIWYG form designers (pretty challenging to use hand coded).
The way these things work is that the class generated contains some methods which cannot be edited by hand, but you can add any amount of your own code without interfering with the generated code. You hook your own code snippets into the generated code, for example you can select a property of an object, say the model of a JTree, and select "user code", then type in an expression returning the TreeModel you want to use.
With listeners the designer will generate the method signature etc. but you can edit the body of the listener method.
However I would always recommend that you hand code a form or two before resorting to on of these editors because it's important you understand the code, even where a designer writes it.

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

Hi,
You have to use the admin account to add the admin role to the developer account. Can you please try this and let me know of your feedback.
The settings you added look good, and the you have the latest version of Sql DEVELOPER , ...so this should be an issue.
Maybe you have some firewall setting on your computer, that are blocking the connection?
If , after checking all of the above you still have an issue, please contact oracle support via the chat on the cloud.oracle.com and ask the engineer to open a Service Request under your name.
Thanks,

Question about creating association between Sharepoint BDC entities using Visual Studio 2010

I am following this tutorial:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vssharepointtoolsblog/archive/2010/08/02/walkthrough-of-creating-association-between-sharepoint-bdc-entities-using-visual-studio-2010.aspx
I am getting the following error:
There is an error in the TypeDescriptors of Parameters on Method with Name 'CustomerToOrder' on Entity (External Content Type) with Name 'Customer' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1'. The TypeDescriptors incompletely define where the Foreign
Identifiers of Entity 'Order' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1' are to be read. That Entity expects exactly '1' Identifiers, but only '0' TypeDescriptors with the correct Association were found from which to read them.
I have viewed the following:
http://lightningtools.com/business_connectivity_services/the-typedescriptors-incompletely-define-where-the-identifiers-of-entity-x-are-to-be-readbcs-error/
after reading that article, I am still not sure what setting I am missing. Does anyone have the full working source code from the msdn article linked above?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got the symbols not loaded error.
First try rebuilding your project by right mouse click the project > Rebuild If that doesn't work, try a clean of the project (right mouse click on the project > clean)
If that didn't work check this:
Right mouse click your project
select [Properties]
select the [Build] tab
make sure [Define DEBUG constant] and [Define TRACE constant] are checked
Click the [Advanced] button at the bottom of the Build tabpage
Make sure that [Debug Info:] is set to [full]
Click [OK] and rebuild the project ;
Hope that works for you! (step 6 generates the .pdb files, these are the debugging symbols)
What’s more, you can clean & re-compile the code, then install the respective dlls one more time to GAC (just remove them before adding to GAC again), do an IISReset to check whether it works.

Very Nube Question About Creating a Very Basic Application Bundle / Package

I don't know anything about XCode or AppleScript, other than that they exist, so I'm coming at this with only conceptual knowledge of how applications on OS-X work. Nonetheless, I have a goal that I feel should be really easy to accomplish, I just don't know where to begin.
What I have is an html file with an embedded flash project that also references some outside files, such as pdfs for printing. This was designed to live on the web, but in reality it will be shipped out on a CD. Right now, if you insert the cd, you see the file contents (the above mentioned HTML file, as well as two folders containing the flash files and the pdfs that are embedded in or linked out from the html file).
This isn't very elegant, and doesn't accomplish the "app" feel I'm shooting for. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to create an application package that has the html file and content folders tucked inside of it, so that when a user clicks on the application package, the html file is automatically launched? What resources might you point me to in order to learn how to do this in a relatively short amount of time? (I'm not even positive if I'm using the correct terminology to search for solutions... is it an application package or an application bundle?)
Now for the limitations:
These files were generated on a Windows machine by an eLearning tool ("Articulate Presenter") and therefore really can't be fiddled with much. I can't open any of the flash files and change the directory paths for the resource files the main presentation needs. I'm fairly confident the presentation just refers to the folder the html file is in as its root, so if the file structure could stay relatively intact once all the files move inside this "bundle," I think everything will still work.
The Articulate Presenter folks aren't particularly helpful in solving Mac compatibility issues, so I thought I'd pose my question here. If I'm not being clear, I am happy to add additional details. Thanks very much for your patience with, and willingness to offer advice to, a complete newbie.
Cheers!

It's even easier than you think.
Open AppleScript Editor.
Type in the following code:
set htmlFile to (POSIX path of (path to me)) & "Contents/Resources/index.html"
set openCommand to "open " & quoted form of htmlFile
do shell script openCommand
Then do File > Save, and use 'Application' as the file format.
Then the "Bundle Contents" button on the toolbar will be enabled. Click it to open up the drawer.
Drag your HTML content and resources into the drawer.
Do File > Save again. Ta-da, you have your web-content packaged as an application.
This assumes that the top-level has a file named index.html. If not, modify to suit.

Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
1) How do you create new columns in a big table
2) how do you update the new columns
3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
my aswers to these would be
1) simple alter table ...
2) simple update statements
3) No need to create an index
I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
cheers

If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).
