3 Tier implementation-Few questions

Guys,
We have 3 tire environment i.e source systems will send files into stage database in separate server and target warehouse database in other server.
When we get the files into shared directory in stage server we need to load them by using external tables in stage area and load them into load tables in main target data warehouse and then integrate into star schema.
In the stage database we are having master repository and work repository and ODI_TEMP Schema.
I have few questions here :-
1)where to install agent?Is it on stage server?
2)What KM's i have to use?Is it DBLINK related KM's? If dblink KM's
what privileges in need and where? and what temp objects it will create where?
or if any other KM's i can use to move the data from external tables in stage database into load tables in datawarehouse like LKM's or IKM's as both the databases are ORACLE databases?
Do you they will work without db link km's?
3)and where the temp objects will be created?
Can you please clarify above mentioned things.
Cheers
Jinni

Jinni,
The answers to your questions
1)where to install agent?Is it on stage server?
you have to install the agent in staging and target as well.
2)What KM's i have to use?Is it DBLINK related KM's? If dblink KM's
what privileges in need and where? and what temp objects it will create where?
Let me start with temporary objects--wherever is your work schema is specified in the topology manager..your temporary objects are created. Knowledge modules..depending upon what type of load you want..control append for just insert/truncate insert
incremental update for merge/update insert....and SCD for slowly changing dimensions.
Priveleges..you need to create/insert/delete on the staging server...
or if any other KM's i can use to move the data from external tables in stage database into load tables in datawarehouse like LKM's or IKM's as both the databases are ORACLE databases?
Do you they will work without db link km's?
yes they can..you need to create connections in the topology manager and create corresponding models.
3)and where the temp objects will be created?
Let me start with temporary objects--wherever is your work schema is specified in the topology manager..your temporary objects are created.
Thanks

EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

Hi,
We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
Source environment (shared app tier):
- Two active application nodes and LB
- One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
- SSL termination at the load balancer
- PCP implemented
Target environment (non-shared app tier):
- One active application node
- One active database node
- No SSL
- No PCP
After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
Workaround:
Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
<webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
<login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?No, you need to edit the context file manually and run AutoConfig.
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?You are following the best approach. You could update the node details from the backend if you want.
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? Correct.
What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?You can copy the application tier node files while the application is up. And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.
Thanks,
Hussein

Few Questions on EP

Hi All,
I have few questions on EP implementation:
1) Can SAP r/3 transaction screen be accessed(say creating a PO using T-code ME21) from a company's subsidiary which is in a remote place(assume r/3 is intalled and running at headquarters).
2) Do we need to have Portal installation at the remote location aswell or just the internet connection with the URL to access the page and needed logon credentials?
thank you

A few questions about upgrades & functionalities

We are looking to upgrade from Crystal 9 to either XI or 2008. I have a few questions. Currently we are not using the Crystal Server, but we are highly considering it. Here are my questions:
1. We need our customers to be able to run live reports. However, if I create one .rpt file with parameters such as customer ID and give access to all of our customers to this report, will each instance be saved universally? For example, if Company B ran the report with their parameters, does that mean Company C will be able to view the data from Company B? Is there a way to limit instances per user?
2. Is there a way to view rpt design features on the web? For example, we have many employees that need to know what fields are dynamic, etc. in a report. Is there anyway for them to be able to view the report design on the server or without having Crystal loaded on their machines?
3. If we do have customers run their reports on the web, is there anyway to prevent them from downloading the report as a .rpt file? We have customer data hard-coded into some of the reports and only wish for them to see the finished report.
4. Currently we use APIs with UB.NET with Crystal 9 to loaded data from XML files to run the reports. Will we need to upgrade any of those in order to run 2008 rpt files?
Thank you so much!

Hi,
here some comments on your questions:
1) You can use the scheduling mechanism of the server to: Create instances that can be sent to users inside the system/via email and so on. You can prevent users from seeing data that they are not allowed to be using row-level- or report-level- security. How this can be implemented is depending on the datasource(s) you are using.
2) No. You can only see/change the report design with Crystal Reports Designer application. You could either build your report design to show the users the desired information or you may use Web Intelligence to enable end-users see and change the actual report design.
3) Yes this should be possible via security settings on the server.
4) It depends on what you are actually doing. The SDKs should still work similar, but you can also use XML data in your Crystal Reports out-of-the-box.

Harald

A few questions about Adobe Flash

questions:
1.Can adobe flash use web services?
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a javascript function and pass it XML as a
parameter?
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on the
users computer which the flash file can interact
with?
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the server,
so the flash file the user receives will be more
tailored to them? Or is the Flash file just a static compiled
file thats imported into the html? By this I
mean can the information and images and menus the flash file
will display be pulled from a database and
dynamically generated per user?
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash files serchabe so that they can be
listed on googles search engine. Is this an easy
implementation or can only professional flash programmers
accomplish this?
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years experience in programming web
applications using html, css, vb.net, and javascript? Not
just learning actionscript but also learning how to
use Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
Okay, so thats more than a few questions :) Once I started
writing my first few I just couldn't stop. But please anyone who
can answer these would be of great help to me in deciding if I
should invest any time into adobe flash.
Thanks for your time,
Evan

>>1.Can adobe flash use web services?
Yes
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
It doesn't, but you can use SWFAddress to do just that. Works
great.
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a
javascript
function and pass it XML as a parameter?
Yes.
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
All net calls are asynchronous - you can use
LoadVars.sendAndLoad or
remoting... I like AMFPHP for remoting.
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on
the users
computer
which the flash file can interact with?
Yes - you can use a server-side language like PHP to set
cookies directly,
or use Flash's built in cookie like feature: The Shared
Object
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the
server, so the flash
file the user receives will be more tailored to them? Or is
the Flash file
just a static compiled file thats imported into the html? By
this I mean
can the information and images and menus the flash file will
display be
pulled from a database and dynamically generated per user?
Entire flash sites can be dynamic - it's what I do... I use
PHP / AMFPHP and
MySQL to build dynamic flash content.
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash
files serchabe so that they can be listed on googles search
engine. Is
this an easy implementation or can only professional flash
programmers
accomplish this?
Easy is a relative term... the best way right now is to use
SWFObject
(Google for swfobject seo) - essentially you build an html
site inside the
Flash's <div> so the spiders will see the alternate
content.
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years
experience in programming web applications using html, css,
vb.net, and
javascript? Not just learning actionscript but also learning
how to use
Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
If you have experience programming the curve will be
smaller... but there
are lots of elements to absorb. And no matter what, you
always have more to
learn.

First Implementation - Random Questions

Hi all, I've been doing my first implementation for past week and I've come across a few questions that I haven't found the answers to (yet). While scouring the user guides and Google, I figured I might as well ask the forums to expedite my research.
1) I created a new security device, but canceled creation during the process. Now when I try to re-add the device with the same name, it complains that it already exists, however it's not in the device list. Where can I find it?
2) I added my Foundstone device to MARS and configured it to do topology updates. Is there any method for confirming MARS is pulling vulnerability information from Foundstone?
3) When I create a custom rule (keyword specific) to be notified on, a similar built-in rule fires, but mine does not. If I disable the built-in rule, mine will fire and alert me. Does MARS match only the first, or the best rule to fire on?
4) Is it possible to customize the main Dashboard, or only the "My Reports" section.
Thanks in advance for any replies,
TBC

Thanks for the replies. I was able to add the device and schedule the topology updates, but short of watching the Foundstone database for incoming requests from MARS, I'm unable to verify that MARS is actually querying and using vulnerability information from Foundstone.
Thanks again
*Edit*
Progressing through this issue. I found that if I go to Management > IP Management > "Device_Name" > Edit > Vulnerability Assessment that I should be able to see the detected OS and services running on the machines. I do not see that information.
Upon review of the logs, I found the following:
pn va VulnerabilityDiscovererFActory PN-1100: Java message: Unsupported device type: Microsoft,Windows,Generic, use Dummy VulnerabilityDiscoverer
pn va foundstone FoundstoneVulnDiscoverer PN-1100: Java message: Exception caught in getting JDBC connection: Db server closed connection.
pn va ThirdPartyVulnDiscoverer PN-1100: Java message: Foundstone: Can not get JDBC connection.
So it appears to be a configuration issue or at least a database communication issue. I will continue to pursue it.
Thanks

Financial Reporting using BPC 5.1: A few questions

Hello,
A client of mine is doing an assessment of using BPC 5.1 as a financial report writing tool versus BI/BEx. They are not currently using BPC for either planning or consolidations but that might happen in the future. The financial data is being extracted from the SAP BI system and being reported on in this pilot implementation. There are a few questions I have:
1) How common is it for organizations to be using BPC as just a financial report writing tool but not for planning & consolidations?
2) We have come across some constraints in using hierarchies in BPC which was not the case in BEx. We are having issues picking and choosing hierarchies. We have not been able to select a particular dependent node of a hierarchy. Let's say that A is the parent node and B and C are child nodes in a hierarchy. We've tried every trick but are not able to select either B or C individually. Moreover if we want both B and C, we are forced to create a hierarchy for B and C. This is not correct. This is a pretty basic requirement. Has anyone come across this restriction? If this is how BPC 5.1 works, is SAP planning on fixing this in BPC 7.0 do that it works like BEx works today?
I look forward to your help, advice and inputs. We are in a bind and relevant responses will be awarded full points.
Thanks,
Jon

I think it is very common for customer to utilize the tool JUST for reporting. The idea is to utilize the tool for as many purposes as possible. Customers use it purly for Operational reporting, planning specific, functional specific, or just plain simplified way to get needed data into the users hands via excel and the ability to build reports on the fly or using predefined templates which are highly flexible.
As for your second question, There is no direct method for selecting or "checking" a bundle of members to use in a report from the current view. However, there is an indirect method that may be built using EVDRE. It involves building an opening Tab in an BPC for Excel report, selecting the members viia the copy function in the current view, pasteing them to a section in the tab, running basic excel tests that aggregarte the members into a useable list for an EVDRE function, used in the MEMBBERSET section of a given dimension, that will then expand and retrieve the data for those members in the that will be run in a second Excel tab. Once you see it in action, it does the same thing or almost the same function you are requesting.
I am not certain if the process will be fixed in future releases, but if you like the feature, please contact product support and log an enhancement request, so as to formalize the request. There are other who hold the same sentiment.
Hope this helps.

A few questions about the smartband

Hey,
i consider buying the smartband swr10 and I got a few questions.
1. Can I control the music player poweramp with it?
2. How does it wake me up? through the smartband or through phone vibration and sound?
3. Will it work with runtastic?
4. How accurate is the sleep analysis and alarm mode?
Those are my questions so far.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I saw in another thread that you already bought the SmartBand so i'm not sure if you still need information but SmartBand works with other music players but i haven't tested poweramp. It sends a standard command for the music player so it should work with any music player that supports that.
The smart alarm makes the SmartBand vibrate.
It doesn't work with 3:rd party apps at the moment. We plan to implement an API so that other developers can add support for it though.
I'm not sure how to answer how accurate it is i'm afraid. In my experience it works good.

About MHP... few questions

Hi, i have few questions about MHP:
1/ When are we going to move the MHP 1.1 ? is it in a near future? Who is currently using it?
2/ What is the overall MHP market share in Europe ? I mean the amount of MHP boxes compared to all possible digibox on the market? Where can i find such information ?
3/ about conditional access: Which MHP STB support Smartcard, i actually never saw any MHP STB with smartcard.
Login/password is also a possible security access, do you see any other method to identify the user?
4/ About the future of MHP STB: are we going to see boxes with USB,bluetooth supports...?
larger persistent and reliable storage ?
thank you very much
best regards
Seb

1) Probably not any time soon. Until there is a reliable test suite for MHP 1.1, it's impossible to ensure that any MHP 1.1 implementation actually meets the spec. There are also interoperability issues that will need working on, and which will not be covered by the test suite. DVB are working on an MHP 1.1 test suite, which is due in early 2006 if I remember correctly, but there will still be a lot of work needed even after the test suite is availalbe.
Add to that the fact that there's not much real demand for MHP 1.1 at the moment. The Italian MHP profile uses the smart card API from MHP 1.2, and that seems to be the biggest thing that people wanted. DVB-HTML is still a mess, and so most people are using a downloaded microbrowser and some flavor of HTML 4 or XHTML.
This is, of course, just my opinion.
2) I don't know exact figures, but I was talking ot one of the Italian broadcasters a few weeks ago anfd they were prety positive. They said that something like 3 million MHP boxes had been shipped in Italy. This is a pretty good number, but it's still nowhere near some of the non-MHP systems out there (BSkyB in the UK for instance have ~8 million deployments, and Freeview have about 4 million). Unless you're willing to pay one of the market research companies for their reports in this area, I doubt that you would get an idea of the overall market share in Europe, but DVB publish a report that gives numbers for MHP deployments worldwide. This is available from http://www.mhp.org/about_mhp/who_is_using_mhp/index.xml (see the MHP Update link).
3) Most of the Italian MHP boxes support smart cards, but these are more for pay-TV access via pre-paid cards. It would be possible to extend these to normal subscription services, but there is no demand at the moment from the broadcasters. Integrating this into MHP is no more difficult than integrating it in to any other middleware stack, so there are no technical problems doing this. Apart from using the smart card and using passwords, I don't know of any other really reliable ways for user authentication.

A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
I will start with the hardware questions first:
I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
Now a couple of software questions.
After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
Question: Which is true?
My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
Cheers,
Alex Bogdan

Alex,
I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
Qn 1 Which Mac.
Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
          Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
          Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
          You can get:-
                              3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
                               2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
                               Of course such a model will cost you more.
          In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
          But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
          Again only you will know the answer to that.
Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
         Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
          It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
          Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
          First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
          Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
          The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
          So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
         So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
           I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
           You would need to contact Adobe about that.
Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
          Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
         Here is something that you may want to know:-
          Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
          However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
          It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
          However here is the point:-
          Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
         Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your    machine.
          Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
Personal Comment:-
          It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
          That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions.

Oracle 9i R2 Installation on RH Linux 7.3 -- Have a few questions.

Hello,
I am at the end of the Oracle 9i R2 installation and have a few questions.
1) The "Agent Configuration Assistant" keeps failing. I get the following message.
Parameters "orahome" = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Parameters "nodeinfo" = NODE_VALUE
Agent Service Failed
What does this mean and how can I complete Agent Configuration Assistant install?
2) I completed the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant successfully and created passwords for sys and sysoper (not sure if these were the exact users). Note I did not modify any other users or unlock them.
How do I log into the sqlplus prompt, what users should I use and how can I create new users and databases?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Chris Barone

(1) You can probably just ignore the Agent Configuration (are you using the Agent to collect data?)
(2) sqlplus '/ as sysdba' will log you into the SQL*Plus prompt.

New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
Sorry for all this just thought I would ask for feedback.
Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,
SomeOneOnLine

1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.

4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
No. Apple does not permit this.
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?

A few questions from someone new to Aperture (and DSLR photography)

Hi - I have just got my first DSLR camera (A Nikon D3000) and am trying out Aperture 3. I had a few questions which aren't all just necessarily Aperture related:
I have imported my library from iPhoto, however now all my albums are in alphabetical order, rather than date created. I only seem to have the option to arrange my albums by, "Kind", "Name" or "Manual". Any idea how I restore the date created order?
This may be too large a subject for here (I should probably buy a book on the subject), however JPEG, NEF and TIFF - I am shooting in raw mode which is generating NEF files. I had tried RAW+JPEG, but the basic JPEG this creates is really quite poor. The NEF files are generally around 7-12Mb. If I open them for editing in Photoshop, a TIFF file is generated in Aperture which looks to be over 8x the size of the original raw file, sometime over 100Mb. I then seem to be able to save it back as a JPEG at pretty much maximum quality which results in a file slightly smaller than the original raw file. Is it necessary to keep the large TIFF files once I've created a jpeg? Am I best off just keeping the finished jpeg and the original raw file in case I want to make changes?
When publishing to flickr, It would be good to be able to just publish the latest versions of all photos in an album. ie not the same photo in tiff, nef and jpg format. Is there an easy way to do this, or is it a case of manually picking each one?
Also - When uploading NEF files to flickr it would appear to convert them to jpg, which is kind of good I suppose, but does anyone know what level of quality the jpegs created are? Am I best off converting them to jpeg myself first and then uploading? If I did this then my albums would be full of duplicates in different formats, which leads back to my previous question about uploading just one version of each. That may be a question for the flickr forum...

You have jumped into the deep end with both feet.
With Aperture running select the single the Browser and you will find the sort controls under the Mobileme to New Smart Album icons depending on how stretched out you have the Inspector panel. There is the ability to sort by just about every parameter there either ascending or descending.
Can Aperture not convert your NEF files? You dont have to have Tiff files at all. See your Preferences regarding External Editor. How much storage space and your archiving requirements will influence your decision about retaining Tiff files.
I know nothing about Flickr but assume you will have to choose your own images. I doubt a Smart Album can select exactly what you need.
When uploading files online galleries generally optimise the images. You are wasting your time uploading massive Tiffs IMHO. Most web services work with jpegs I understand. Consult the Flickr help and support for their requirements and advice.
Enjoy your new hobby.
AW
Whether you have the room to save Tiff files as well as Raw files will probably decide whether you keep them or not.

Few questions on Report programming

Hi guys,
I have few questions on report programming.
1. What is the purpose of the statement REPORT zxxx. Even if i gave a name other than my report name i don't find any difference in syntax check/Functionality.
2. What is the purpose of list headings in report program? This option will come along with the text elements and selection texts.
3. What is the purpose of logical data base. Even if it is efficient why don't we use it frequently in our reports? Is there any limitations?
All usefull answers will be rewarded as usuall:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

1. As u told that you dint get any syntax errors even after changing the Report Name,there are chances of getting Runtime errors.
2. The usage of List Headings is when you create a list in a program, you can also create your own list and column headings.
Refer this link for further info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/960a05eb0711d194d100a0c94260a5/content.htm
3. The Limitation of LDB is the usage of GET statements which act similar to SELECT - ENDSELECT And also if you dont choose the proper LDB,a single LDB may contain data retrieval from so many tables ,that it would make the entire process very slow and it is very hard to find LDBs for other modules than HR.
Only in HR module the data is organized in such a way thatusing LDBs would be much simpler.
Reward points if useful.
