What is the purpose of having 'oracle' user with umask 022?

Hello,
What is the purpose with having the 'oracle' profile with a umask of 022? Isn't that a security risk having files created by 'oracle' with 755 permission? I mean why let others have the capability to read and execute on files that 'oracle' writes. Thank you.
Paul

Hi;
You can set it as you wish. But from note:
The umask utility sets the file mode creation mask of the current shell execution environment to the value specified by the mask operand. This mask affects the initial value of the file permission bits of subsequently created files. If umask is called in a subshell or separate utility execution environment, such as one of the following:
+(umask 002)+
nohup umask ...
find . -exec umask ...
it does not affect the file mode creation mask of the caller's environment. For this reason, the /usr/bin/umask utility cannot be used to change the umask in an ongoing session. Its usefulness is limited to checking the caller's umask. To change the umask of an ongoing session you must use one of the shell builtins.
If the mask operand is not specified, the umask utility writes the value of the invoking process's file mode creation mask to standard output.
The most common umask values are 022, 027, and 077. A umask value of 022 lets the owner both read and write all newly created files, but everybody else can
only read them:
Oracle recommended(also its a prereq for installation) to set umask 022 due to do upper explanation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-5165/umask-1/index.html

Source:
+0666 Default file creation mode+
+022 resultant mode+
+0644 resultant mode+
On many UNIX systems, the default umask is 022. This is inherited from the init process, as all processes are descendants of init.

HT5622 What is the purpose of having two emails one for iCloud one for Apple ID

Why would I use two different emails and passwords? What is the benefits if I use one email for iCloud and one for my Apple ID .

From where I have seen this most helpful is when you have multiple people (family memebers) sharing one Apple ID/iCloud account and you run out of the free 5GB iCloud back up space since there are many devices backing up to the same account.
We've seen students using his/her parents or family Apple ID/iCloud account and when they go to back up their device or apps with data connected to iCloud (like iMovie/Notability), it won't back up b/c they are out of space. Mom's iPhone with 4GB of photos on it is hogging up all the iCloud back up storage so when Sally needs to back up her school iPad to iCloud, there's not enough space so her device/data doesn't back up completely. If Sally creates her own iCloud account, then she's got the full 5GB to use and doesn't have to worry about the other devices.
Also, if you had a work issued device and a personal device but use the same Apple ID- you could create different iCloud accounts for each device for back up. I myself use the same account- I don't seperate out mainly b/c I don't want to keep up with another apple account and I don't use a lot of apps that need to retain data.

What't the purpose of having a hidden column in the report

Hello experts,
So, since I am still fresh to the business I encountering things worth exploring... I have seen many times where a report will have a certain column in the criteria but its hidden from the analysis results. Does anybody why
eg.. the criteria will have: time, project name, project task. then the results will show: time and project task, then project name will be hidden... why?
thanks as always

Project tasks might be common for different projects, to make more specific they might have added project name and set hidden to see tasks specific to project name by date.
To understand it more just delete project name from report and compare with original report output.
If make sense mark

What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS ?

hi
I have doubt on
What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS?
Thanks

Where do you see these fields? Please give full details (eg, the navigation path).
If you're referring to Effective Start Date and Effective End Date (effective_start_date, effective_end_date) these are two fields that appear on many HRMS entities. They're used to store dated history over time. For example:
14-Jan-2009 to 19-Apr-2009 - Pam Stephens
20-Apr-2009 to date - Pam Erickson
In this example Pam got married on the 20th April 2009 and changed her surname from Stephens to Erickson. Here the history of changes are kept so that if we date-track to any time prior to the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Stephens and if we date-track on or after the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Erickson.
Check out the following Oracle Support article for more information:
How Date Track Works [ID 177733.1]

What is the purpose of the Oracle VM 3.0 sdk?

Hi
Someone knows what is the purpose of Oracle VM 3.0 sdk?
I saw in this forum that it can be used for compilation purposes,but I'm not sure how to do it.
I also didn't see any documentation
Thanks,
Rudi

To make it really simple, the SDK is literally a VM that has all the same stuff that you would get if you installed OVM via a CDROM but it also includes compilers and kernel-headers (and probably other things).
This is useful for people that need to compile things like kernel modules, or other things to put into a production (non SDK) Oracle Vm server.
We used this tool to compile AoE drivers to support a 3rd party storage solution, for example, and took those compiled packages and installed them on our OVM servers.

What is the purpose setting apple ID in Users and Groups?

What is the purpose of setting the apple ID in Users and Groups preference pane of System Preferences? Is it really necessary? All of apples services can still be used without setting an apple ID (like iCloud, iMessages, FaceTime, iTunes, etc...). I am sure apple has a reason for it just would like to know what it is. Anyone have an idea? Thanks for the help.

ya, I knew about that but I think it also has something else to do with screen sharing, file sharing and back-to-my-mac. Thank you for the help.

What is control tables in abap hr?what is the purpose?

what is control tables in abap hr?what is the purpose?

These are the screen elements used to display tabular data they can be called
as screen tables( like STEP LOOP).To use table control we have to create it on the screen using SCREEN PAINTER(SE51) and declare a control variable of TYPE TABLEVIEW using CONTROLS statement in the ABAP program. We have to use LOOP .. ENDLOOP statement in both PBO and PAI with or without AT int_table parameter. IF AT int_table parameter is not used than we have to place a MODULE call between the LOOP...ENDLOOP statement to fill the screen table rows from the ABAP program in PBO and program our own scrolling functions
using OK_CODE field.
Having a parallel loop(at screen table rows & int table rows) by using parameter
AT int_table makes the ABAP code simple.
A special structure of type CXTAB_CONTROL is used to set/get various
attributes of table control at runtime like CURRENT_LINE ,TOP_LINE.
ABAP declaration
CONTROLS: tab_con TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN nnnn
Here tab_con is the same name we used in screen for the table control.
This ABAP statement will declare a control variable that will be used to access
the table control , and set it's various attributes like number of fixed columns(tab_con-FIXED_COLS) ,total number of records it will display(tab_con-LINES).It is of type CXTAB_CONTROL and is a deep structure(structure containing structures).
REFRESH CONTROL tab_con FROM SCREEN nnnn
This ABAP statement will initialize the table control on the screen nnnn to its initial values.
PBO processingI
n PBO we have to use the screen LOOP ...ENDLOOP statement , with or without
intenal table.
LOOP WITH CONTROL tab_con.
MODULE fill_tab_con.
ENDLOOP.
Here a module should be called between the loop endloop statement to transfer
data from th ABAP program to the screen table through a structure.This module
should use the CURRENT_LINE attribute of the table control variable to get the
current screen table record index to read the data from the internal table into a work area.
e.g.
READ TABLE int_table INDEX tab_con-CURRENT_LINE
The record read will be placed in the header line of the internal table and will be available to the similarly named screen fields or if these are different it can be written explicitly. e.g.
screen_field_name = int_table-field_name
LOOP AT int_table INTO workarea WITH CONTROL tab_con CURSOR i FROM
n1 TO n2.
ENDLOOP.
Here the module call is not required to fill the screen table.The CURSOR parameter is a integer of type I indicating which absolute internal table line
should be the first to display on the table control .FROM n1 TO n2 can be used
to restrict the starting line and ending line number of the internal table , they are of type SY-TABIX.
In both cases before the LOOP statement a module should be called which
is generally for setting of status ,in which we should fill the LINES attribute
(tab_con-LINES ) of the control with the total number of internal table records,doing this ensures correct and automatic scrolling.
The ABAP statement DESCRIBE TABLE int_table LINES lines can be used
to get the total lines in an int table.
PAI Processing
We have to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP in PAI so that data can transfer fro table control to ABAP program. If we want to write changes to the data we should
call a module between the LOOP ... ENDLOOP. The MODULE call to process user commands (SY-UCOM) should be called after the ENDLOOP statement.
e.g.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT
MODULE mod AT EXIT-COMMAND.
LOOP AT itab_table or LOOP "depending on whether we are using AT int_table
MODULE modify_int_table.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE user_command.
In the MODULE call modify_int_table we can use
MODIFY int_table FROM workarea INDEX tab_con-CURRENT_LINE
or we can use
int_table-field_name = screen_field_name.
Thanks
Please Reward points if helpful.

What is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC

CAN ANY EXPLAIN ME
1.what is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC?
2. AND THE CONTENTS IN ITS TABS.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW.IT IS URGENT
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 28, 2008 11:42 AM

Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group, Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name), Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button, a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table entries by choosing Maintain.
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
1. When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
2. When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows:
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new entries.
Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save.
You can enter one record at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two step).

What is the benefit of having the macbook register to apple?

just wondering what is the benefit of having the macbook register to apple
will it prevent someone stealing the macbook and we can track where this macbook is?
or just for warranty purposes?
by the way any suggestions for locking or something to prevent someone steal the macbook?

even though i register with apple, if someone stole my macbook, they can still use it without any problems?
Yes, they can. Registering with Apple doesn't have any effect on the computer itself at all.
like if they go repair the macbook, will apple know that this macbook was stolen?
Generally no. Apple has no formal tracking ability, and as a former Apple employee once posted, they have no way of knowing just from some user's report that an item is indeed stolen and so cannot make assumptions; it wouldn't be the first time someone made a false report. If an authorized law enforcement agency were to contact Apple, Apple might be in a position to do something, but it's rare that police have the resources to take those kinds of actions unless it's a large theft, as with someone robbing a store.

What is the purpose of Destination Function on Submit Button?(Doesn't work)

Hi Gurus,
There is a property "Destination Function" on Submit buttons.
What is the purpose of this field.
I tried setting some values here expecting following behavior in order:
1. Process Form Request will get executed.
2. User will be navigated to the OAF page related to the Destination Function.
Destination Function property probably point to setInvokeFunction method of the OASubmitButtonBean.
Please advise on this.

OIM: What is the purpose of "Update" while editing group memberships

Hi,
This is when you lookup a user's Resource Profile and go to "Edit" link. The process form shows up along with a drop down to edit the group memberships. When we select one of the choices such as "Groups" another window pops up where we could add more entires into the child form. In this form there is an "Update" column with a radio button besides a "Remove" column. What is the purpose of this "Update" column? We can add or delete child entries but what does update do? Is there a way to remove this selection altogether?
Thanks in advance

Update I can see used for a cases where you have multiple columns on a child table entry and want to change one of them. Strictly speaking, you can update a single column child table rather than delete and insert also. Access policies always do insert and delete actions, but you will want to implement an update task as well if you expect anyone to be editing child tables on resources directly.

What is the purpose of Multiproviders???

Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to create a multiprovider.
I have read the SAP documentation but I still do not understand in what circumstances should I create a multiprovider for reporting.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide details on what is the purpose of multiproviders?
Assuming I have the following scenario, should I create a multiprovider for reporting?
Infocube A:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
- Shift Type
Key Figure
- Hours
Infocube B:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
Key Figure
- Amount
I need to report on both the key figures for each employee and what is the shift type of the employee for the specific cal month/year. The employee number, cal month/year and shift type will be used as selection parameters.
I am thinking of creating a multiprovider for this reporting need but I think there will be some problems.
For example:
1) If I input the employee number and shift type as selection parameters, the amount column will be empty when the report is displayed.
2) If I input on the employee nunmber, then I'll be able to see both the key figures when the report is displayed but the data are on different lines which does not make sense to users.
Emp ID   Shift Type    Cal Mth/Yr   Hours     Amount
200001   Shift         05.2006       10
200001   Not assigned 05.2006                 1000
Only if I don't show the shift type column, then the record will be display in a single line.
How can I rectify such a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Hi,
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Multiprovider - used when we want to report on chracteristics and keyfigures that are in different data targets.

What is the purpose of assign roles to portal please describe

what is the purpose of assign roles to portal please describe

Hi,
You assign Roles to Users and not to portals.
Check this to know about Role:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/45/c0d8e962336000e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
So a role has contents that a user can see and also privilages that the user can have (UME Actions).
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/fb/33f520d15f8f4092a60381365620b2/frameset.htm
When a user is assigned certain roles which have contents and also UME Actions, this user sees them when he logs on onto the portal and also has this set of privilages.

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.

Function module: why do we use FM and what is the purpose of using FM

hi,
   Can any please explain. Why do we use FM?
                                       What is the purpose of using FM ?
                                       Where we are using FM and for what tables in R/3 ?
I could be thankful to you if any one answer above questions.
Arun

Hi,
We go for creating FM when there is a chance of using the same code in different reports in R/3.
Suppose I have a requirement say, to display the Payer Name for every sale order.
This is most common requirement in any project.
You can create a FM say READ_CUSTOMER_NAME in SE37.
Write a select statement from the table VBAP to fetch the Payer Name based on the Sales Order.
Now you can activate the FM and it is ready to be used across all the reports in R/3.
Need : To avoid redundant coding and to modularize the code.
If you want to see the list of Standard FMs, got SE37 --> press F4 and you'll get all the SAP standard FMs.
For customized FMs (User defined), type Z* or Y* and press F4.
Hope this helps a bit !!!
