Through out the Globe the exam pattern is same but here in US you can appear online and immediately you can get your results as in SAP certification exam. At a time you can give more papers too, but in India we need to appear it with pen and paper (analog system) and they will evaluate and you know the process is different. There is certain calendar to appear this exam in India but in US just pay select your date and get it done. The value of this certification in CPIM is same where ever you do it. Sorry for creating some confusion in my previous post by saying the short period. Hope now you understood what I meant. Below is the link of APICS CPIM go though it will get lot of infomation on it:

CPIM Exam

Dear All,
I am planning to appear for CPIM exam for module Basic of Supply chain management.I would like to know the below points,
1.What is its market value.
2.Will only Basics of supply chain be sufficient or I shuold complete all 5 modules of CPIM.
3.How much time is required for preparation.I have the book Introduction to materials management by Arnold.Is it sufficient?
If you can give any valuable inputs on this please tell me.Also if there are any sample questions for this exam hen do tell me the site.
Regards,
Santosh.

Hi,
You can refer the following site for btter understanding

Carrier in SAP MM

hi , i am working with software industry from 3 years for the oil and natural gas client , my role is SAP MM support analyst.I had worked on java as well now i wanted to make my career in SAP MM ,but i dont know from where should i start and which institute should i join in chennai so that i can get the complete understanding of this module.And also wanted to know the carrier aspect as well as job opportunities in india and abroad.
Would appreciate if someone suggest me.

I have both a certification in SAP and APICS (CPIM). Both of these certifications have helped me in my career so far. What is important to understand is how these will look from a hiring standpoint.
If you already have a SAP ABAP certification and have a strong background in SAP, you may want to diversify and show that you have interests in business as well.
A hiring manager will look at your credentials and try to pin you down as one specific thing. If you want to be viewed as a pure specialist in SAP, then I would strongly reccomend the MM certification.
However, if you want to be looked at as more business-oriented, and not simply as an "IT-ONLY" kinda person, then I would recommend getting the APICS certification.
Of course, the APICS certification is cheap and you can study on your own time and then take the test whenever you please. The SAP certification may cost thousands of dollars depending on what your situation is. However, because one is much easier to get than the other (APICS). I would recommend getting the APICS certification first and then from there deciding whether or not you want to continue on and get the SAP certification.
My recommendation would be to get BOTH certifications because they will both help you in very big ways. A true business analyst is someone who is well-versed in both the IT and the operational aspects of the business.
I hope this helped!

Is APICS useful? What are my exit options after SAP ?

Hi,
I have completed my MBA and will be joining SAP as business process consultant in supply chain. As I will be doing SAP certifications in the company, I was thinking of doing APICS certifications (CPIM/CSCP), first I wanted to understand whether it would be a good idea to do the APICS certification i.e. would it actually have any value addition, second which one should I consider (CPIM or CSCP) and would be more helpful for me.
Also, is it that after joining SAP, I will be restricted to SAP related jobs, (i.e. ERP roles) or will I be able to switch to supply chain roles in Retail/FMCG sector and eventually move to strategy roles (management consulting). Though I know I would be learning implementation of SAP in multiple sector, I actually wanted to know my exit options.
I would be really glad if someone would help me better understand.
Thanks
Rohit

Not sure why you posted this in the iPhone forum but sorry you're having such a difficult time. With that being said, unfortunately, VZW isn't obligated to assist you in difficult financial times although it would be great if they did. As far as you wanting to get into a non-smart phone to lessen your bill...you will have to look into alternative ways to obtain one if you want to avoid paying full retail. Do you have any friends with Verizon? Check and see if any of them have an old phone that they don't use. Lower your plan to less minutes and actively monitor your usage. Save non-essential personal calls until after 9:00 pm on weekdays if you're calling non-verizon customers. Even without a house phone it is not difficult to get by on a 450 min plan without going over your minutes. My mother did it for 5 years and never once went over her minutes nor did she have a landline phone to use. Text when possible to avoid using minutes. If you stay with the Droid then try to find texting apps or widgets that can help eliminate the need for a text plan. You can also check into services like Skype that can allow you to make free calls to other users...some of your friends may gladly subscribe to those services so that you can communicate and use less plan minutes. You should also talk to VZW to see what lower plan options you have.

Suggestion for a new OCA / OCE exam

I have noticed that there are a lot of candidates who learn for an exam. There seems to be a lot of incentive to studying for the exam and "learning" the material.
However, there are also a lot of candidates who do not understand the 'certification', 'learning', 'followup' processes. It also seems that if there is no reward, such as a certificate, skills and processes are overlooked or misunderstood.
I suggest an OCA (or perhaps an OCE) level exam that tests the candidate for "How to find information on Education.oracle.com, Certification.oracle.com, Certview.oracle.com, Tahiti.oracle.com, OTN.oracle.com"; "What happens after you write the exam and how long do I have to wait"; "Why I should have only one testing ID"; "What is a FAQ"; "Ability to use internet search engines and how to formulate questions"; "Why do forum administrators bother with Forum Stickies", and the like.
While somewhat tongue-in-cheek (or at least cheeky), I encourage thinking about this. We are churning out people who supposedly are professionals, and yet some have no idea what that 'professional' icon means or where to find out more information about it.

Well not an OCA or an OCE certificate but perhaps an OCS, and that could be useful for partners as well. The problem is if offered online it would be abused.
I get concerned when a candidate newly registered for OTN has just passed the high stakes exam for an OCA wonders where their certificate is. It is a concern they don't seem to have researched the certification process much. The lack of familiarity with the certification process seems slightly concerning ... and there is probably a lack of familiarity with the Oracle websites as well, which is not what one would expect from a certified person.
The new OTN registration isn't a definite indicator of a problem here, but it is a strong indicator there may be something unsatisfactory.
Indeed the absolute worse case is an SQL exam online by proxy taker followed by braindump use or a proxy take of the high stakes exams.
In practice I would suspect that an unbalanced delivery of the WDP training or third party training or university training may be a culprit. (and I may be wrong here). (Note there seems to be an increasing tendency for some universities to focus on education by certification study ... ).
I really think it would be useful if a candidate was required to register with Oracle (by means of an SSO/OTN account) before being able to book a certification examination rather than being simply able to goto Pearson VUE/Prometric (This is the case with a lot of other Testing programmes, and was the case with Sun until recently). IMHO This would encourage a good 'first contact' with Oracle and would encourage the following benefits:
- A relationship with Oracle would be established sooner during the exam preparation process.
- There would be an opportunity to point the candidate at useful processes, authorized learning methods and resources via email.
- An earlier point in the learning process to discourage bad learning technique
- The sales people would love the opportunity to sell oracle training.
I think there is an argument for requiring OTN registration at least a month before a certification exam can be booked ... exceptions being if an Oracle University Course has been attended. However the logistics would probably fail on this and it could hurt people who have just left an employment.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 07-Apr-2010 00:57 PS: - Hans - You also didnt great job with one of the sticky announcements. I really think however now that Prometric / Pearson Transition has happened and merge with Sun is stable all the sticky posts should be reviewed and rolled into one entitled something eyecatching like only silly people should not read this FAQ first

In competitive exams photo in "true color" format.... How to do it in adobe photoshop please replay it.....

In competitive exams photo in "true color" format.... How to do it in adobe photoshop>>> please replay it.....

Mayuk, you are not making any sense here.
True color (24-bit)
"True Color" redirects here. For images with natural color rendition, see true-color.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Truecolor.png 24 bits (16,777,216 colors, "truecolor")
True color supports 24-bit for three RGB colors. It provides a method of representing and storing graphical-image information (especially in computer processing) in an RGB color space such that a very large number of colors, shades, and hues can be displayed in an image, such as in high-quality photographic images or complex graphics. Usually, true color is defined to mean 256 shades of red, green, and blue, for a total of 224 or 16,777,216 color variations. The human eye can discriminate up to ten million colors.[13]
Color images composed from 3 grayscale images A, B & C assigned to R,G & B in different orders.
"True color" can also refer to an RGB display-mode that does not need a color look-up table (CLUT).
For each pixel, generally one byte is used for each channel while the fourth byte (if present) is being used either as an alpha channel, data, or simply ignored. Byte order is usually either RGB or BGR. Some systems exist with more than 8 bits per channel, and these are often also referred to as true color (for example a 48-bit true-color scanner).
Even with true color, monochromatic images, which are restricted to 256 levels, owing to their single channel, can sometimes still reveal visible banding artifacts.
True color, like other RGB color models, cannot express colors outside of the gamut of its RGB color space (generally sRGB).
Macintosh systems refer to 24-bit color as "millions of colors".
RGBA color space, or 32-bit color, is a variant of true color in which the additional 8-bit is allocated to transparency and indicates how transparent is the element to which the color is assigned, when overlaid on other elements.

How to show skip question again in online exam application

Hello Everybody...!
Now i want to put Skip functionality in my online examination system.
I am having two button in my exam page one is Submit and second one is Skip.when user click on skip button he must get next question here user have 100 question to solve now suppose user solved 90 question and 10 question are skipped by him.
Now when user complete his last question he must get those skip question one by one on page then he can answer those question.
Please can somebody tell what should i do?

Store the skipped questions somewhere? Or check which questions aren't answered? Fairly simple. This isn't a coding problem, but a matter of logical thinking.

MTA Exam 98-361 CS - Please Help ASAP - It would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys:
I am brand spanking new to this development scene and have zero background in any type of IT so, please bare with me..I'm currently active duty military planning on getting out in the fall. I heard about the MSSA program
offered by Microsoft and decided to give it a shot since I meet the requirements (well, most). The reason I say most is my lack of background. Anyway, I just heard about the program about three or four weeks ago and didn't find out I met the requirements till
about two weeks ago..At that time, I was also advised that to get into the program I had to pass this exam (MTA 98-361) , and I had to pass it before the new year to get into the course starting in January.
Because I had such a short amount of time to prepare for the exam, of which I had no knowledge of, my leadership has been very flexible in letting me have time to study. I've taken great advantage of this and have spent countless hours at my desk studying.
Probably around 12-14hrs a day, to be honest. I thought I had been taking this stuff in and really learning a lot getting all of these hours in in the past couple of weeks, until today. I get to the building that is holding my certiport proctored exam, I sign
in, and when I do the proctor asks me, "is this the first time you're taking this exam?" At which point I replied yes and she advised me I had to pick the Visual Basic version of the test because it was my first time..My heart dropped and I got very
nervous. I began the test and it looked completely foreign to me. These last two weeks I had focused all of my energy on learning C# and didn't have even a slight idea of how to apply these methods to VB. I know, most of you guys that have been in this awhile
say this test is easy either way, but it wasn't for me, I'm not at that level. Needless to say, I failed...miserably, and was advised I could retake the test in 24hrs and I could take the correct test..real reassuring...When I say I did bad, it was BAD. Now
I'm beginning to question if I even have a grasp on the simple stuff, the basic understanding of all of this. I enjoyed what I was learning, hence the keeping motivation through those long days.
Is this not for me? I was advised that my results would be sent directly to MS and all I could think was GREAT, and I'm trying to get a job in this industry..is this going to look negatively on my behalf when MS sees that, even if I do somehow still manage
to pass the test that I've been studying for and make it into the program? I'm dedicated and wiling to put what I need to into this because, like I said, it really interests me..I'm just looking for some insight if this is a realistic path for me or not and,
if so, if anyone can enlighten me on how I can better prepare myself for the exam next week (CS version).
Is the MeasureUp practice testing as good of a source as it's made out to be? Or should I be going elsewhere? I've watched the MSDN MTA modules multiple times, read Wiley cover to cover, and looked up things I didn't know or wasn't sure of all over the internet.
I'm just wondering what all of you dev gurus would suggest for someone totally new, to learn all of these fundamentals in this short amount of time. Sorry for the lengthiness of this thread, I'm just a little stressed and frustrated.
Thanks much,
Joey
////I know there's lots of threads about the MTA 98-361, I'm just looking for particular help in regards to ////my current situation, thank you.//

To start with, I think that your proctor made a mistake. If you have been doing all your studying with C#, you should have taken your exam in C#, not in VB. Although the change from C# to VB is trivial for someone who has years of practice with both languages,
in your particular case you should have stuck with the one with which you were most familiar.
As a second piece of advice, you need some practice rather than just stuudy time. The questions in the MTA exams are in general very easy to reply if you have actually done the things that they are talking about (versus just having studied them on paper).
For this exam about "development fundamentals" I would recommend that you write a few simple programs that exercise the various topics covered in the "skills measured" section of the exam description page. For instance, when you see the
topic labelled "For loops, While loops, Do...While loops, and recursion", go ahead and write a programs with several types of loops and verify that you understand how to write them, how they work, and that they produce the results that you expected.
Do the same with recursion. Repeat this for every entry in the list of Skills Measured, and you should be ready to take the exam.

How about posting this question in the Certification Forum
Since Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can use and search "RHEL books". There should some.

Exam question - follow-up point

Have now resolved the previous coding problem...many thanks to all who helped and aided my understanding.
as a follow-up question -
is it possible to reference "Sets" as an object in a "Map"
the exam question requires a "Map" to be created referencing a String "studentName" and the collection of books that the "student" has read (see previous coding question - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5196761)
current code is as follows (the Map studentRecords has previously been referenced as a private instance variable):-
public void createReadingRecords()
String studentName;
Set<String> booksRead = new HashSet<String>();
do
studentName = (OUDialog.request("Please input the student name or * to finish","));
while
(!studentName.equals("*"));
booksRead = this.collectBooksRead();
studentRecords.put(studentName,booksRead);
}

The Set is the "value" of the map, which is stored under a "key", which is the student name. You can use the get(key) method of the map to retrieve the value associated with that key, or you can get a collection of all the values with the values() method.

the target database.
D. To check for integrity constraint violations that would occur in
the target database.
[many dumps says B too ]

Question: 257
Users in your development database complain that they are getting the
following error while trying
to execute a query on the SALES_HISTORY table:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
While investigating the reason, you find that a hardware failure
occured, resulting in the loss of
one of the available disk drives used by the database. While waitinig
for a replacement drive, the
OBA removed the un-needed data from the database and during the
removl the
SALES_HISTORY table was dropped accidentally.
Within few minutes a second hardware failure corrupted another disk
drive, resulting in
the loss of the current online redo log files and the logical back
ups of the database. The redo log
files were not multiplexed and the current redo log file is not yet
archived.
Which recovery method would you follow to recover the SALES_HISTORY
table?
A - Open Database complete recovery
B - Cancel-Based incomplete recoveryC - Change-Based incomplete recovery
D - Closed Database complete recovery
E - Recovery using the backup control file
[ But how that will restore sales_history table, as when it got drop implicitly issue commit , switch redo log file]
Question: 318
Which statement is true regarding database writer process (DBWn)?
A - It writes only committed data to the data riles.
B - It synchronizes the database buffer cache and the data files
regularly.C - It makes changes to data blocks in the database buffer cache when
required.
D - It is possible to configure more than one database writer
process, but this is useful only on
uniprocessor systems
[ Is D also not correct ]

What are the CLAD exam topics?

Hi guys,
Here I am a bit confised about the topics covered in CLAD exam. My confusion comes from the fact that in the NI site for preparation guidlines the topics outlined are as follows:
Exam Topics (Outline):
LabVIEW programming principles
LabVIEW environment
Data types, software constructs, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements
Variables and functions
Simple design patterns
SubVI design
VI design and documentation
Error handling
Debugging tools and techniques
But if you scroll down at the bottom of the page is a download link with a PDF file. I've attached this file to this message.
In it the topics outlined include much more advances ones from Intermediate I and II such as event driven programming, TCP/UDP, Data Sockets, Custom Error generation, VI and application reference, dinamicaly loading of subVI and so on.
Can somebody who has passed this exam recently clarify me with what exactly is included in CLAD?
I'll be very thankful to any input because in 10 days I have to go and pass it.
Thanks, Slavie

Hi Slavie,
The topics for the CLAD are those you cited in your post :

The other topic you saw in the pdf file you mentioned might be part of CLD et CLA (which are quite different from CLAD)
Hope this helps

Discount in CF 9 Exam registration for developers certified in CF 8

Now that CF 10 is out, I wish to go for the CF 9 exam. Do you get a discount-voucher if you are already certified in CF 8? If so, please kindly point me to the relevant information. I wrote to Adobe and Pearson VUE. Months have passed: no response.

My mistake on not providing an example of what I meant by the phrase "scope refers to a scalar variable".
Consider the following code snippet:
     <cfset x = StructNew()>
     <cfset x["age"] = 35>
     <cfset x["firstname"] = "Maxwell">
     <cfset x["lastname"] = "Smart">
     <cfset x["address"] = StructNew()>
     <cfset x["address"]["street"] = "123 Main Street">
     <cfset x["address"]["city"] = "Washington">
     <cfset x["address"]["state"] = "DC">
     <cfset x["address"]["zipcode"] = "20000">
     <cfset scope = "age">
     <cfset myage = StructGet("x.#scope#")>
     <cfoutput>isStruct(myage) = #isStruct(myage)#<br></cfoutput>
     <cfoutput>myage = <br></cfoutput><cfdump var = "#myage#"><cfoutput><br></cfoutput>
returns
     isStruct(myage) = NO
     myage =
     35
in ColdFusion 9, but it returns
     isStruct(myage) = YES
     myage =
     struct[empty]
in ColdFusion 8.
The documentation on structGet does not mention anything about this change in behavior from ColdFusion 8 to ColdFusion 9, thus leading me to believe that either:
1.     structGet in ColdFusion 9 is not working correctly (and thus the reason for my original posting in this forum)
                         - or -
2.     The documentation for structGet in ColdFusion 9 should be updated to note this change in behavior from previous versions (at least all the way back to version 4.x) of ColdFusion.
