Advantages of using PCK over normal XI adapters

Hi Gurus,
We are in a situation where in we need to choose either implementing PCK or a complete XI . We are a medium sized manufacturing company who need to talk to customers and vendors who already have XI.
Please let me know what are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a PCK over a full blown XI .
Should we implement XI itself or a PCK would suffice our needs.
Thanks
Rupendra Seemakurti

Hi Rupendra,
Please check these links and weblogs on PCK...

  • Advantages of using BO over tools provided in BEx

    Hi,
    I am wanting to know if there is any documentation enlisting the advantages of using BO over the tools provided in BEx.
    Also, what is the advantage of using BO analysing data from cubes in BI 7.0 than accessing data from SAP R/3 directly.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Advantages of BO (as well as other Query/Reporting) are that they provide robust end users interfaces
    in terms of designing queries, reports and also run on a standalone desktop client. Their user interface is
    easy to use and much easier environment to design manus, drop-down boxes/lists and buttons and also provide wizards to help users guide. These tools can also work against several heterogenous data sources.
    There are several factors one needs to keep in mind when selecting 3rd Party tools for SAP BW. A few are listed below:
    BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEX query. This causes extra overhead because here you have BEX resources and then you add up BO resources to manage infrmation to/from BEX query over the OLEDB interface. Some vendors, like arcplan, use OLAP BAPI to access BW data. This API has somewhat lower overhead because it bypasses the OLEDB for OLAP layer.
    As you know that BEX is MSExcel based. It is not easy to build sophisticatecd user interfaces without doing extensive VBA or Macro programming.

  • Advantages of using activities over outlook

    Hello, All
    Can any one explain me the advantages of using activities over outlook? In Outlook you can schedule the activities for the whole day, see if the period of an activity clashes with another activity so you can reschedule it etc.
    In short, can anyone explain why would anyone prefer using Activity Management over Outlook?
    If any documentation is available please mail me at [email protected]

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal — in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • Is there any advantage in using Vault over Time Machine?

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I imported around 6000+ pictures from iPhoto and consolidated them into my Aperture library. After much re-organisation into projects, folders etc. I decided to update my backup Vault to preserve all my hard work. The Vault is located on a connected external drive with plenty of spare storage. I had previously backed up successfully to the vault when there was only a few dozen pictures in my library.
    After initiating the Vault update process I then left it to get on it (and to have dinner and then watch the football...) and after several hours was dismayed to find that the process appeared to be stuck at just over 50% completion. It was obvious that no further progress was being made.
    I was also concerned that there appeared to be no mechanism to cancel the process and the only course of action I could take was to apply a Force Quit against Aperture - not something that I care to do, if I can possibly avoid it.
    After a rudimentary search of this community I saw that several others had experienced the same problem - although some suggested that a fix had been applied in recent versions (although I am running the latest version).
    Given this, I'm reluctant to use the Vault again - particularly as there appears to be no means of cancelling a stuck job. I do however use Time Machine, so my questions are:
    1) Do I really need to use Vault if I have Time Machine making regular backups of my Aperture library to an external drive?
    2) Does using Vault give any advantages over Time Machine?
    3) Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the current version of Aperture (v3.3)?
    4) Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
    Thanks in anticipation,
    Simon.

    SImon,
    Vault and Time Machine address different needs. Probably you will want to have both.
    The advantage of Time Machine: incremental backups of previous versions, very compact storage. And you can integrate it into your regular backup of the whole system and include the regular masters as well. But the disadvantage: Time Machine decides for you, what will be deleted, if the backup drives get full. You do not have control over what will be saved and what not from the previous versions.
    The advantage of vaults: You can make full backups of your library for well defined moments in time - snapshots of important states. I'd create a vault, whenever I make a major upgrade of the system at least.
    Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
    If the graphical user interface is unresponsive, like when updating a vault, you can use the Terminal to send the "termination signal" to Aperture: Sometimes this will succeed, even if the "Quit" button does not work:
    Look for the Process ID of Aperture in the Activity Monitor (launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor" and click the CPU heading. This will bring Aperture close to the top of the list. Make a note of the PID number in the first column, in this case 66550.
    Launch a Terminal window and enter the following command:
    kill -TERM 66550           (insert Aperture's PID instead of 66550)
    This will send the "Software Termination Signal - TERM to Aperture, the same as pressing the "Quit" button should do, but send it directly, and not from the GUI that is unresponsive. This way I always succeded in cancelling a vaul update without force quitting. Not all processes can be terminated this way, however. The Terminal.app is also in the Applications > Utilities folder.

  • Advantages of using RDF  over JSP

    Hi
    1. What are the advantages if i save the reports in .rdf or .rep or as .jsp for a paper layout reports.
    2. To run the batch is it necessary to save the report as .rdf or .rep.
    3. Can we schedule these reports in Job scheduler(OEM).
    Regards
    Ranganath

    Hello Ranganath,
    1. You can save your reports either as RDF or JSP to run them to paper. Both report formats store the paper layout information. REP files are run-only report definitions, in that they are pre-compiled and cannot be edited/opened in Reports Builder.
    2. Both RDF and JSP reports can be run in batch mode.
    3. Similarly, reports in both these formats can be scheduled.
    One difference between the two formats is that JSPs are pure text files and can be opened and edited in any text editor. On the other hand, RDFs and REPs are binary format files. Further, only JSPs can be deployed on the web using the JSP engine.
    Thanks,
    The Oracle Reports Team.

  • What is the advantage of using Yosemite on my iMac over 10.9.5

    What is the advantage of using Yosemite over Lion on my iMac?  Is it any faster, slower or what?

    Before upgrading to a new operating system, here are a couple considerations:
    1.  If you are having problems with your current system, full version upgrades
         will make them worse.  Fix all issues before making the upgrade.
    2.  Make sure that any third party hardware is compatible with the new operating
         system, i.e. drivers available to support the OS.
    3.  The hidden cost item of needing to upgrade apps to work on the new OS.
         If your any of your favorite or mission critical applications are not compatible,
         expect the possibility of needing to purchase upgrades of those apps so that
         they will work on the new OS.
    4.  If you rely on your computer for your livelihood,  be absolutely sure that you
         have a backup strategy and plan to quickly recover should there be any issues.
         There has been many a complaint on this forum that new OS upgrades have
         have ruined their business and had no recovery strategy in place.  Besides,
         anyone relying on a computer for their livelihood is REQUIRED to have such
         a strategy in place regardless of OS upgrades as anything can happen at
         any time.
    5.  If everything is working fine and dandy for you currently, you need to ask if
         any of the new features of an OS of any use to you.  If not, then perhaps
         a "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy is what you should follow.

  • Advantages of using grub2

    What are the advantages of using grub2 over just grub? Why would I want to upgrade?

    The coolest thing about Grub2, as far as I'm concerned, is that it supports booting off of software raid natively (and LVM volumes as well, I think), the downside is that there's really not that much detailed documentation available on how to do that(at least at the time I tried it) ... or on Grub2 configuration in general (again, at the time I tried it), I tried to use it when I got some extra hard-drives and began running on Software Raid, but in the end I gave up and went back to Grub, because I already knew how to use it and the work-around's to make Grub boot software raid are really not that bad.  (you just need a separate non-raid or raid 1/boot partition).
    I think sometime in the not too distant future (perheps next Sunday, AD) Debian/Ubuntu are switching to Grub2.  I imagine the documentation situation will get better if that happens, and I might try and switch again.  For now, Grub gets the job done for me.

  • Advantages of using Taskflow

    What are the advantages of using TaskFlow over traditional J2EE apps?
    All answers are welcome

    ADF task flows provide a modular approach for defining control flow in an application. Instead of representing an application as a single large JSF page flow, you can break it up >into a collection of reusable task flows. Each task flow contains a portion of the application's navigational graph.Read this blogpost for more details:

  • WHY SUCH AN INJUSTICE THAT BBM CANNOT BE USED ON MY CURVE 9300 OVER NORMAL DATA SERVICE AND OTHER PLATFORMS CAN USE!

    Hello,
    I am using Blackberry Curve 9300. I purchased this phone for Rs. 17,250 before some 3 years, I considered RIM to be a Company providing premium services which is unique in itself and which worth spending on them and the most important thing is those are not available to non-blackberry users! Especially in case of Blackberry Messenger, which is such a service connecting all the blackberry users around the world, making a mark of precious symbol of the users of BBM.
     Before few days I came to know about BBM being available on Android and Windows phones, my question is why this injustice with your own customers, you provide the app which they will use with their normal data plan and we people who are your real customers, who trusted in you have to spend not less than Rs.129 for just BBM!I must say RIM is the most back-stabbing company I have had ever dealt with! People are laughing at us as they are using the same service for almost free and we have to spend a huge sum for availing the same service, my question is are these non blackberry people your customers or we people who contributed in your success with hopes of trust?
    My question is not why you made available BBM usage to non-blackberry users with such flexibility but my question is why can't you be loyal to your own customers?
    I hope that RIM would have a pleasing justification.

    Thanks with the signature but I already removed it from my profile too.
    I was never under a rock when it comes to technology I know that in India before few months yoru Blackberry Z10 was Rs.44,000 and now it is Rs.21,000. I understand the ploy of making BBM cross platform to generate revenue, first in a technical sense and another by creating it advrtisement in the marker.
    Do you think that taking an undue advantage of our loyaty and enduring the mockery of your own customer would take you anywhere? Don't you think that abusing your own customer's prestige would even affect you negatively? While your customer is paying Rs.129 for just BBM the Android person sitting next to him is lauging at him for he paid you and call him fool! Profits doesn't starts only by making huge business decisions but from the loyal and satisfied customers. You may always find customers all around always complaining but deep down if you have touched their needs they will bless you with good words at your back, maybe in such a way that you will never come to kow but it will grow you more. I am not here to deliver you a marketing lecture as i am in corporate law field but let me tell you what I read during my graduation, it said something like one disatisfied customer can discourage ten potential customers from buying your product and I have started feeling the same in case of online shopping but I do not know when the company giant blackberry would come to know! 
    When you said about expanding customer base, think about a company who is expanding its base of customers by disatisfing their current customers who always took pride in you by providing them services at harsh terms and in front of their eyes others are getting benefits at a very low cost.
    Our family business is textile manufacturing, not as big as blackberry but we always knew that if we will start selling our goods by describing them as really premium goods and start charging out of lips and bounds, of course my product could be premium worth the price but one thing I could be missing would be a point of finance, there could be cheaper alternatives in market which could be selling at lower price which same usage. My concern is just to keep our eyes open.
    Now consider a phone on which I can use Whatsapp which satisfies my messaging needs, gtalk and yahoo messengers for my im needs, push mails for emails, browsing and downloading for just Rs.99 and on the other hand Blackberry services for Rs.389, it is indeed clear the reason of downfall, though it is labelled as premium service and indeed it could be, permium service as I said earlier.
    When you feel that your boat is sinking, you do not have only have to pull out the waters but on the priority basis you have to cover the hole too! Blackberry is just pulling out the water leaving the hole as it is!
    If you say that legacy mode in BBOS could bother you  from providing BBM for BB device, you know that it cannot be and even I know that, any technical person can know that as it is a little secret that I can use BB browser without BIS and many other apps are example of the same (to be a bit informal). See, I never asked this thing from last three years but now when you are making it cross platform why not to give a little benefits to those who paid you till now, if you can give it to those who are nothign to you?
    My question is that why can't you provide BBM to be used on the normal data paln for your own old and loyal customers who paid you such a handsome amount from many years for your services as how you provide on other platform, just for BBM not email and rest of your services?

Maybe you are looking for
