What is the use of constraint option in Prompt

NB -- I am doing this from memory, but isn't the Constraint (or limits in EAS' HBRs) just a way to reduce member selection scope even beyond security?
I think I have used this once as I generally design apps to rely on Planning member security and not add in an extra layer.

What is the use for CREATING VIEW WITH CHECK OPTION?

Dear Legends,
I have a doubt
What is the use for creating view?
A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..
What is the use for creating a view with check option?
A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.
A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.
A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??
A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???
Please clear my doubt's Legends
Lots of Thanks....

... What is the use for creating view?
A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..Most views are created and used for convenience. A view is a saved query. If the same operations are often done, then it can be very convenient to code those operations once, in a view, and refer to the view rather than explicitly doing those operations.
Sometimes, views are created and used for security reasons. For example, you many want to allow some users to see only certain rows or certain columns of a table.
Views are necessary for INSTEAD OF triggers.
What is the use for creating a view with check option?
A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.The reason is integrity, not necessarily referential integrity. The CHECK option applies only when DML is done through the view. It prohibits certain changes. For example, if a user can't see certain rows through a view, the CHECK option keeps the user from creating such rows.
A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.I'm not sure what you mean. Please give an example.
A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??No. Using CHECK OPTION, you can do some inserts and updates, but not others. The columns involved may or may not have constraints in either case.
A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???If you try to violate a constraint, you'll get an error. That happens in views with or without the CHECK OPTION, and also in tables.

See the HTTP specification (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9) for definitions of the different methods.
You can implement them by overriding the appropriate doHead(), doPut(), doOptions(), etc methods in your servlet class.

WHAT IS THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION IN BUISNESS CONTENT

WHAT IS THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION IN BUISNESS CONTENT GIVE DETAILS

Hi,
Match (X) or Copy
If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched with the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. A match can be performed automatically for properties if you can be sure that the object is to be used in the same way as before it was transferred from Business Content. When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be transferred from the delivery version.
Example of an automatic match
Additional customer-specific attributes have been added to an InfoObject in the A version. In the D version, two additional attributes have been delivered by SAP that do not contain the customer-specific attributes. In order to be able to use the additional attributes, the delivery version has to be installed from Business Content again. At the same time, the customer-specific attributes are to be retained. In this case, you have to set the indicator (X) in the checkbox. After installing the Business Content, the additional attributes are available and the customer-specific enhancements have been retained automatically. However, if you have not checked the match field, the customer-specific enhancements in the A version are lost.
Example of a manual match
An InfoObject has a different text in the A version than in the D version. In this case the two versions have to be matched manually. When Business Content is installed, a details screen appears which asks you to specify whether the text should be transferred from the active version or from the D version.
The Match indicator is set as default in order to prevent the customer version being unintentionally overwritten. If the Content of the SAP delivery version is to be matched to the active version, you have to set the Install indicator separately.
The active version is overwritten with the delivery version if
¡        the match indicator is not set and
¡        the install indicator is set.
In other words, the delivery version is copied to the active version.
If the Install indicator is not set, the object is not copied or matched. In this case, the Match indicator has no effect.
In the context menu, two options are available:
                            a.      Merge All Below
The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Match.
                            b.      Copy All Below
The Match indicators are removed for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy. If the Install indicator is also set, these objects are copied from the delivery version to the active version.
The most important properties which are taken into account when versions are matched are now listed.
When referring to InfoObjects it is important to differentiate between:
§         Characteristics
§         Time characteristics
§         Key figures and
§         Units
Valid for All InfoObjects Named Above:
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        Texts
·        Description
If texts/descriptions in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Attribute only (flag)
·        Short and long text (description)
·        Time dependency of attributes
·        Transfer routine
Valid for Characteristics
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        Compounding
New InfoObjects are included in compounding
·        Referenced characteristic
Reference characteristics are transferred automatically. A warning is issued.
·        Attributes / navigation attributes
New attributes are included.
If an attribute is added by the customer, the settings for this attribute are transferred (for example, F4 sequence).
·        Application components
If the entry for the active version is initial, the delivery version is used.
·        BEx display
·        Characteristic constants
·        Default member
·        Authorizations (flag and field)
·        Selection (CHASEL)
·        InfoObject is document attribute
·        Data type
·        Length
·        Output length
·        Conversion routines
·        Lower case allowed (flag)
·        Contains master data (flag)
·        Master data is authorization relevant (flag)
·        Export DataSource (Flag)
·        F4 query design
·        F4 query runtime
·        Check ODS object
·        Contains text tables (flag)
·        Texts are language-dependent (flag)
·        Short, medium and long texts exist (each with flag)
·        Default currency
·        GIS attribute
·        Hierarchies exist (flag)
Valid for Key Figures
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        Type of key figure
·        Fixed unit
·        Fixed currency
·        Aggregation
·        Exception aggregation
Valid for Units
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        See the table above (Valid for Characteristics), if these properties are also relevant for the units.
When referring to InfoProviders it is important to differentiate between:
¡        MultiProviders
¡        InfoCubes
¡        ODS Objects and
¡        InfoObjects
InfoObjects are discussed above (see the first table Valid for All Objects Named Above).
Valid for All InfoProviders Named Above:
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New InfoObjects
If InfoObjects in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
Valid for MultiProviders
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New InfoProviders
If InfoProviders in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
Valid for InfoCubes
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New dimensions
If dimensions in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
With the InfoObject catalog object type, InfoObjects that are assigned to a catalog in the delivery version are transferred to the active version automatically. Manual matching is not necessary.
With the transfer rule object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional attributes) are added automatically when the match is performed. Manual matching is not necessary.
With the process chain object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional objects in the process chain) are added automatically when the match is performed. Manual matching is not necessary.
·        Active Version Available
In this column, the following display options are available:
¡        : The object is available in an active version. You decide whether you want to retain this version or reinstall the latest version of the object.
¡        Date symbol: The object is already available in an active version. However, the active version belongs to an older Content release. SAP recommends that you install the latest version.
¡        Gray symbol: An activated version of the object is available in the system. However, the object status is inactive. If an object version is activated, this indicates that all metadata for the object can be created successfully. The inactive object status indicates that the processed object is inconsistent and cannot currently be used for processing data. Transfer the object again from the SAP delivery version (D version). If this is not enough to change the object status from inactive to active the object has to be postprocessed. You find notes on postprocessing in the activation log.
Postprocessing: An inactive object status may also occur for an InfoObject if changes are made to the structure at field level. Postprocessing the object involves converting the relevant tables in accordance with the activation log.
¡        No indicator: The object is not available in an active version.
7. Make Settings in the Selection List and Install.
Make the required settings in the Install selection list:
Installation Type
Installation Type
Information
Simulate installation
The system runs a test to see whether any errors are likely to occur during the installation. However, not all errors that may occur can be identified during simulation: Some error messages can only be generated when a real A version (and not just a simulation) is available in the system. You should, therefore, only use the simulation function as a rough guide to help you identify and remove basic errors.
Install
The selected objects are installed immediately.
Install in background
The selected objects are installed in the background.
Install and transport
The selected objects are installed immediately and then written to a transport request.
SAP recommends you use the Install in background option because installing a large number of objects can take a long time. Modifying objects that are already active can take an especially long time to complete. Make sure that when you install objects in the background that the versions are not matched. It is always the delivery versions that are installed. These are not matched with any available customer versions.

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

I need explanation. Why should i shutdown?
Dont give me this answer.
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

Hi Srini,
just read the documentation (although the current status on SAP Help Portal isn't really up-to-date):
1. [Entry point|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/cc/85414842c8470bb19b53038c4b5259/frameset.htm]
2. [Setting an Access Level|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/32/6aba9c49fd41a5a14f710e121220f1/content.htm]
W/r to "Application Component" etc., docu on Help Portal is definitely not sufficient. Here, the following applies:
An application offers attributes for the application component and the software component. The application component and software component have to be the same as defined for the development package. Application and software component are automatically derived from the development package if they are not set explicitly.
For the definition of the development package, application component, and software component, we recommend that you choose the same values that are in effect for the software solution that you want to enhance by a new BRFplus application. This simplifies all activities related to the software infrastructure, especially transports.
