Alternative data architecture solutions

Hi All,
Does anybody know what is meant by "Alternative data architecture solutions"?, I know when working with computing systems and databases like Oracle, we can have several solutions to a problem, and we have to choose the best solutions among them depending on the current situation, so a general definition of "Alternative data solutions" can be that we can adapt different alternating approaches to solve a problem. But I want to know is there anything specifillay called "Alternative data architecture solution.
I have seen a job description which has one requirement as shown below:
Analyzing and evaluating alternative data architecture solutions to meet business problems/requirements and to comply with corporate data architectures, strategies and frameworks, including enterprise data warehouse activities
¨
Can anyone please help me....
Thanks,
Amir.

Amir.No, there is no "special" meaning to "alternative data architecture solutions." It is not some professional jargon with a meaning known only to the cognizenti. It means just what you'd expect it to mean with common, non-technical definitions of the terms.

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

  • Vendor Texts per VSR/Site (Alternative data)

    Hi all
    How can I define Vendor Texts, to be used as Purchase Order Header Texts, per Alternative data, i.e. per Vendor Subrange (VSR) and/or Site/Plant?
    This would correspond to a text with Application Object (TDOBJECT) LFM2 instead of LFM1 (which is used for normal POrg specific Vendor Texts).
    I am using IS Retail and my Vendor Account Group has "Data Retention Levels: Purchaing" set for both VSR and Site/Plant.
    Steps (the way I hoped it would work):
    - Tcode: MK01/MK02/MK03
    - Select: Purchasing Data (this is where you normally enter texts via menu Extras - Texts)
    - Click: Alternative Data
    - Select: Specific alternative data (e.g. VSR)
    - Click: Purchasing
    - Menu: Extras - Texts (unfortunately not enabled at this step)
    The second step would of course be to enable the automatic copy to PO (Define Copying Rules for Header Texts) but let us take that later...
    Regards
    Dan

    the docu for retail says: text are possible at vendor sub-range
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/12/084445470311d1894a0000e8323352/frameset.htm
    I have not seen such option in core ERP system, and I never worked with Retail, so I cannot give you an reliable answer where to check.
    I usually would check in purchasing customizing OLME > Vendor master > define purchasing org specific texts.
    In core ERP I do not have an option to switch the text object.

  • How use of alternative data in Vendor master and fn??

    Hi
    Here is the scenario
    We have the vendor master where, in alternative data all the plants is linked to the vendor with some plant specific data to it such as planning calender by night, plan delivery time, and purchasing group.
    and all these info is fed to the system through ABAP forms, so when i try to amend some of the plant specific data through the form it does erase the existing data  and doesn't overwrite the new data into it
    to find the root cause i need the following
    Question -
    1. How do we make the alternative data active in vendor master- either through config changes or is there anything else??
    2. what may be the possible reasons for the plant data not overwriting
    Please do reply in detail and if config changes with steps
    Thanks for everyone
    Regards/Suresh

    1. How do we make the alternative data active in vendor master- either through config changes or is there anything else??
    It is std functionality in Vendor master, could be created thru XK01 or XK02.
    2. what may be the possible reasons for the plant data not overwriting?
    Check the ABAP part, might be missing something...

  • Use View Object with Alternative Data Sources in View Link

    In my case, I created a view object based on alternative data source (not with SQL query). I have setQuery(null) in the override create() function for this View Object. When I use this View Object at the destination end of the View Link, the setQuery(null) will raise Jbo-26016 exception (You cannot set customer query (calling setQuery()) on a view object if it is the detail view object in a master detail view link.) which does not allow me to do that. I looked Avrom's Framework for Database API-Based ADF BC, in which he override the DBTransaction and CallableStatement in order to intercept the default query clause set by the View Link. I'd like to see if there is any alternative ways to achieve my objective?

    Just following up what I found so far. I'm trying to use customized View Object based on alternative data source at the destination end of View Link with ADF 10.1.3.
    1. For the View Object at the destination end of View Link, I can not call setQuery() which will raise Jbo-26016 exception.
    2. I can omit the setQuery(null) call in my customized ViewObjectImpl, and as long as there is no SQL statement in the View Definition XML, it won't cause problem when calling the executeQueryForCollection() of the super class.
    3. The override executeQueryForCollection() must call the super.executeQueryForCollection() in order to get appropriate result (I tried to skip the call and it does not give back any results)
    4. The funny thing is, when I make getQuery() call in my customized ViewObjectImpl (I'm just trying to double check if the Query object is clean or not), the query object is set to "SELECT FROM" following the getQuery() call, and which causes the exceptions when I call super.exeuteQueryForCollection(). I found out later from the Javadoc API which is implemented in that way.
    So I guess my case is resolved by not making specific call to setQuery(null).

  • Alternative data for Vendor

    Hello,
    I would like to use the alternative data for the vendors. But, I canu2019t manage information such as planning cycle at the vendor level.
    The information comes from the material and not from the alternative data of the vendor.
    For example, the MRP always consider the planning cycle from the material and not from the vendor.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hello,
    I dont think u can maintain information relating to material in vendor master..instead u can try in souce list for vendor-material combination.
    Since MRP/Planning will be pertainied to plant-material, you can maintin them at material level and at plant level for proper planning....

  • Design pattern / data loading solution

    Hello all!
    I have been working on a few projects which involve loading data, sometimes remotely, sometimes local, sometimes JSON, sometimes XML. The problem I am having is that due to the speed of development and the changing minds of various clients I am finding my designs are too rigid and I would like them to be more flexable. I have been trying to think of a reusable solution to data loading, and would like some advice as I imagine many of you out there have had the same problem.
    What I would like to do is to create a generic LoadingOperation abstract class, which has member variables of type Parser and Loader, which have parse() and loadData() methods respectivly. The Parser and Loader classed are interfaces and classes that implement these could be XMLParser and JSONParser, LocalLoader and RemoteLoader etc. With something like this i would like to have a new class which extends LoadingOperation for each thing to be loaded, weather thats a local XML file, or remote JSON, or whatever.
    The problem is is that specific Parser implementation cannot return custom data types without breaking the polymorphic behavior of the LoadingOperation class. I have been messing around with generics and declaring subclasses of LoadingOperation like
    class SpecificLoader extends LoadingOperation<CustomDataType>
    and doing similar things with Parser classes, but this seems a bit weird.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what im doing wrong / could be doing better. I want to be able to react quickly to changing specifications (ignoring the fact that they shouldnt be changing that much!) and have a logical seperation of code etc...
    thanks for any help!

    The fact that it seems like processes are similar doesn't mean that they are in fact the same. My code editor and Word both seem to be basically the same but I am rather sure that generalizing between the two would be a big mistake.
    And I speak from experience (parsing customer data and attempting to generalize the process.)
    The problem with attempting to generalize is if you generalize functionality that is not in fact the same. And then you end up with conditional logic all over the place to deal with differences dependent on the users. Rather than saving time that actually costs time because the code becomes more fragile.
    Doesn't mean it isn't possible but just rather that you should insure that it is in fact common behavior before implementing anything.

  • Alternative data source for EO and VO

    It is usually the requirement to customize the Entity Objects and View Objects so that they can work with data sources different than database schema objects (tables, views,...), some examples are Web Service or Oracle Coherence cache.
    I have developed mini projects using both data sources mentioned, by overriding relevant methods in the implementation EO and VO classes. There is one limitation I realize when developing these projects. Although both the EO and VO rely directly and completely on the alternative data sources (Web Service and Coherence), still there must be a schema object existing in the local database to back the EO and VO. This is because I still have to call super methods from ViewObjImpl and EntityImpl, and these methods are still doing some operations with the schema objects, and without these objects, ORA-00942: table or view does not exist will be thrown.
    For example, after overriding executeQueryForCollection in ViewObjImpl to take data from web service, it is still necessary to call super.executeQueryForCollection so that data will actually appear on the web page, and without the schema objects, this method will throw ORA-00942.
    My question is, is there any way to completely eliminate the need of schema objects in EO and VO? I know the answer (if exist) will be complicated but I'm willing to explore.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Timo,
    I figured out how to achieve this.
    Basically when creating the EO, I did not specify the schema object in the first step, and for each attribute that I created in the wizard, I also unchecked the checkbox "persistent". I could then create VO based on this EO and override all the necessary methods in the EO and VO so they can do CRUD operations via Web Service.
    In the case of only creating an VO (read-only, for retrieving/reading data only), I could also mark each attribute as "transient" by checking a checkbox in the creation wizard.

  • ECH - ECM -- Change leaders and change packages using alternative dates

    Our company is an engineer to order business.  The Engineering Managers would like to be able to see all the work/changes to objects that occurred for a customer project.  So, the use of a change leader and change packages seems to make sense to allow the managers to see all the objects related to a project, but at the same time allow various sub-assemblies be released at different dates. 
    I was planning to set the change leader with the date of the final erection of the piece of equipment and then use the change packages with alternative dates to release the drawings and sub-assemblies as needed to ensure the appropriate delivery time. 
    However, even though I can use alternative dates in the change package, I don't get a pop-up window when assigning the change package to the document or BOM for selecting the appropriate date for the object. 
    Is there a setting I need to enable for this to work? 
    Thanks!

    I didnt understand what your requirement exactly is....
    but if you are trying to shift all BOM data from 4.6 C to some higher version of SAP , to my knowledge ...
    SAP does not support upward compatibility......

  • Enginering Change Number (ECN)&  alternative date

    Hi
    We have a scenario like this:
    We are having ECN effective in our system.
    Now we want to use the alternative date functionality for some objects.
    Ex:- we have a BOM with change number for which valid from date say" X".
    Already change is effective  from "X" date.
    If we  change valid from date of "X" to altrnate date say "Y"for this object, & if we  want to change this object with reference to this change number , the system is automatically changing the earlier changes also new valid from date "Y".
    I want to know is there any method to avoid this.
    Any suggestion advnce thnks.
    Regards
    Rao

    Hi Rao
      actually alternative date functionality is used like if you have BOM, task list created with reference to an ECn with a validity date and suppose you wish to activate the Bom to a different validity date with same ECN. then BOm will be active from the alternative date whereas the tasklist will be active from the validity data of the ECN.
    procedure
      in CC01 or CC02
      verify objects are assigned to the ECN ( BOM, TL etc) by selecting the object assginment button if not assigned then assign  the same.
      create the ECN with alternatedatekay and alternate dates by presssing the altrnate date button.
    after creating the altrnate dates
    from the same screen select the alternate date and then press the object assignement button
    Now select the appropriate object and then press assignobject. now press the details key you can see the alternate date assigned
    Just save it
    thats all everything is fine
