Best practice for reclassifying Cost Center/Element

Dear experts,
Currently the company I'm working for are using SA document (FB50) if there are mistakes when posting cost to Cost Center, they will DR New Cost Center and CR Old Cost Center.
However, it is seem a bit difficult to trace the changes later on. Hence, I would like to ask for opinions on what is the best practice for reclassifying cost center or cost element.
Right now, I'm planning to propose of using KB11N to reclassify cost center. Is this a good practice and easy to trace the cost movement? Is there any different with normal journal adjustment via FB50 and KB11N?
Need some advices from experts.

Hi:
        Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

  • Which is the best way to assign cost center to cost element?

    Hi,
    I am getting the below error...
    569400- Gain/Loss Inventory Transfer account requires Cost Object Assignment
    which is best practice to assign cost center - either assign in KA02 or assign in OKB9-automatic account assignment?
    Please advise ...
    Thanks
    Kishore

    HI,
    assignment in KA02 is valid for the whole controlling area, assignment in OKB9 can be different on comp. code level (maybe thats an andvantage for you). Substitution (OKC9) is also possible and delivers more opportunities than OKB9.

  • Best practices for handling elements and symbols (including preloading)

    I am trying to learn Edge Animate and I have not seen enough animations to know how this is typically handled and I searched the forum and have not found an answer either.
    If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice for having them appear, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this question not only from a performance based perspective, but also keeping in mind the idea of preloading. This is a 2 part question:
    Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
    Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
    or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
    or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
    Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
    Part 2: Impact on page loading
    Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
    or is this something handled in preloading?
    or do you need to make a special preloader?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi, escargo-
    Good questions!
    Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
    Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
    or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
    or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
    Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
    I would recommend that you set your visibility to "off" instead of simply changing the opacity.  The reason I suggest this is that when your visibility is set to off, your object's hit points also disappear.  If you have any type of interactivity, having the object still visible but with 0 opacity will interfere with anything you have underneath it in the display order.
    Part 2: Impact on page loading
    Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
    or is this something handled in preloading?
    or do you need to make a special preloader?
    Thanks for the help.
    No, none of this has any impact on page load.  As you already noticed, all of the assets of your project will load before it displays.  If you want only part of your composition to load, you may want to do what we call a multi-composition project.  There's a sample of that in the Edge Animate API in the Advanced section, and plenty of posts in the forums (and one in the team's blog) explaining how to do that.

  • Best practices for using the 'cost details' fields

    Hi
    Please could you advise us to the best practices for using the 'cost details' field within Pricing. Currently I cannot find the way to surface the individual Cost Details fields within the Next Generation UI, even with the tick box for 'display both cost and price' ticked. It seems that these get surfaced when the Next Generation UI is turned off, but cannot find them when it is turned on. We can see the 'Pricing Summary' field but this does not fulfill our needs, as some of our services have both recurring and one-off costs.
    Attached are some screenshots to further explain the situation.
    Many thanks,
    Richard Thornton

    Hi Richard,
    If you need to configure dynamic pricing that may vary by tenant and/or if you want to set up cost drivers that are service item attributes, you should configure Billing Tables in the Demand Management module in 10.0. 
    The cost detail functionality in 9.4 will likely be changed to merged with the new pricing feature in 10.0.  The current plan is not to bring cost detail into the Service Catalog module.

  • Best Practice for 0InfoObjects

    Hi,
       I need assistance on BI best practices for using 0infoObjects. Currently, we have many 0infoObjects such as 0CostCenter, 0ProfitCenter, 0SalesOrg etc which are used in zinfoObjects like Zcustomer, Zmaterial etc in addition to Z cubes and zODS.
    We are starting an upgrade project which presents a chance to convert some of these 0infoObjects to ZinfoObjects so that they can be customized later as needed.
    What is the best practice for situations like this? do we take on the extra effort of changing 0 to Z ( I read somewhere this is advisable ) or should we target only some infoObjects which historically change the most.
    Thanks,
    Kartik

    Hi:
    Use the 0-infoobjects as they are.
    Business Content gven by SAP is pretty good for some modules (e.g., Finance).
    Clients pay lot of maney for SAP so that they can use the delivered Business Content as much as possible and then, <b>if needed</b> create new Custom Objects.
    When it comes to InfoProviders, its a good idea to copy them to Z-InfoProviders and make new changes accordingly. but, InfoPbjects like Cost Center, COntrolling Area, Functional Loc, Material, etc, etc; just use them as they are. Good luck if you want to create Z-Infoobjects for the above critical infoobjects.
    Do you know how difficult it is to get R/3 based hierarchies for Z-infoobjects (again, Cost Center, Fucntional Location, Cost Element)?
    Also, you <b>have</b> to use SAP delivred Time Characteristics.
    Since you need to use some delivered InfoObjects anyway, it dictates that you have to be careful installing new Business Content.
    There you go.

    Hi All,
    I have the requirement to retract data from BPC 10.0 to General Ledger.
    What is the best practice for doing this?
    I have read the "How To... Retract data from BPC 7.5 NetWeaver to SAP ERP Cost Center Accounting, Part I", but this is prepared to transfer data to Cost Center accounting. Will General Ledger be populated automatically?
    What is your opinion on this?

  • Best Practices for Service Entry Sheet Approval

    Hi All
    Just like to get some opinion on best practices for external service management - particularly approval process for Service Entry Sheet.
    We have a 2 step approval process using workflow:
    1 Entry Sheet Created (blocked)
    2. Workflow to requisition creator to verify/unblock the Entry Sheet
    3. Workflow to Cost Object owner to approve the Entry Sheet.
    For high volume users (e.g. capital projects) this is cumbersome process - we looking to streamline but still maintain control.
    What do other leaders do in this area?  To me mass release seems to lack control, but perhaps by using a good release strategy we could provide a middle ground? 
    Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    AC.

    Hi,
    You can have purchasing group (OME4) as department and link cost center to department (KS02). Use user exit for service entry sheet release and can have two characteristics for service entry sheet release, one is for value (CESSR- LWERT) and another one for department (CESSR-USRC1) .Have one release class for service entry sheet release & then add value characteristics (CESSR- LWERT) and department characteristics (CESSR-USRC1). Now you can design release strategies for service entry sheet based on department & value, so that SES will created and then will be released by users with release code based on department & value assigned to him/her.

  • Best practice for business rules

    Our business rules have
    Fix ( [Cost Center] )
    to extract the user's Cost Center from his form so that it runs faster.
    What is the best practice for running that same Business Rule but for all Cost Center? Will it be to put that Business Rule in a menu somewhere and let it prompt users to manually type "Cost Center" so that the Business Rule processes all cost centers ?
    Thanks.
    David

    You can try this way: create your primary business rule with FIX(@RELATIVE(VarCostCenter,0)), where VarCostCenter is a run time promt. Then you could easily use it to calculate only current member on ther form (fix will give you only 1 member).
    Then you create a new sequence and add there your business rule, go to "Launch Variables" tab, find promt for Cost Center, set it to "Total Cost Centers" and click hide. So basically now you have a copy of the primary rule but it runs for all cost centers automatically.
    So using this technique you will have to maintain only one business rule!

  • Best Practices for zVM/SLES10/zDB2 environment for dialog instances.

    Hi,  I am a zSeries system programmer who has just completed an IBM led Proof of Concept which demonstrated the viability of running SAP instances on SUSE SLES10 Linux booted in zVM guests and accessing zDB2 data via hipersockets. Before we build a Linux infrastructure using the 62 IFLs we just procured, we are wondering if any best practices for this environment have been developed as an OSS note or something else by SAP.    Below you will find an email which was sent and responded to by IBM and Novell on these topics...
    "As you may know, Home Depot has embarked on an IBM led proof of concept using SUSE SLES10 running in zVM guests on IBM zSeries hardware to host SAP server instances.  The Home Depot IT organization is currently in the midst of a large scale push to modernize our merchandising and people systems on SAP platforms.  The zVM/SUSE/SAP POC is part of that effort, as is a parallel POC of an Intel Blade/Red Hat/SAP platform.  For our production financial systems we now use a pSeries/AIX/SAP platform.
          So far in the zVM/SUSE/SAP POC, we have been able to create four zVM LPARS on IBM z9 hardware, create twelve zVM guests on those LPARS, boot SLES10 in those guests, install and run SAP instances in those guests using hipersockets for access to our DB2 SAP databases running on zOS, and direct user workloads to the SAP instances with good results.  We have also successfully developed cloning scripts that have made it possible to create new SLES10 instances, configured and ready for SAP installs, in about 10 seconds using FLASHCOPY and IBM DASD.
          I am writing in the hope that you can direct us to technical resources at IBM/Novell/SAP who may be able to field a few questions that have arisen.  In our discussions about optimization of the zVM/SUSE/SAP platform, we wondered if any wisdom about the appropriateness of and support for using zVM capabilities to virtualize SAP has ever been developed or any best practices drafted.  Attached you will find an IBM Redbook and a PowerPoint presentation which describes the use of the zVM discontiguous shared segments and the zVM named saved system features for the sharing of reentrant code and other  elements of Linux and its applications, thereby conserving storage and disk resources allocated to guest machines.   The specific question of the hour is, can any SAP code be handled similarly?  Have specific SAP elements eligible for this treatment been identified? 
          I've searched the SUSE Knowledgebase for articles on this topic to no avail.  Any similar techniques that might help us reduce the total cost of ownership of a zVM/SUSE/SAP platform as we compare it to Intel Blade/Red Hat/SAP and pSeries/AIX/SAP platforms are of great interest as we approach the end of our POC.  Can you help?
          Greg McKelvey is a Client I/T Architect at IBM.  He found the attached IBM documents and could give a fuller account of our POC.  Pat Downs, IBM zSeries IT Architect, has also worked to guide our POC. Akshay Rao, IBM Systems IT Specialist - Linux | Virtualization | SOA, is acting as project manager for the POC.  Jim Hawkins is the Home Depot Architect directing the POC.  I've CC:ed their email addresses.  I am sure they would be pleased to hear from you if there are the likely questions about what the heck I am asking about here.  And while writing, I thought of yet another question that I hoping somebody at SAP might weigh in on; are there any performance or operational benefits to using Linux LVM to apportion disk to filesystems vs. using zVM to create appropriately sized minidisks for filesystems without LVM getting involved?"
    As you can see, implementation questions need to be resolved.  We have heard from Novell that the SLES10 Kernel and other SUSE artifacts can reside in memory and be shared by multiple operating system images.  Does SAP support this configuration?  Also, has SAP identified SAP components which are eligible for similar treatment?  We would like to make sure that any decisions we make about the SAP platforms we are building will be supportable.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.  I will supply the documents referenced above if they are not known to any answerer.  Thanks,  Al Brasher 770-433-8211 x11895 [email protected]

    Hello AL ,
    first, let me welcome you on board,  I am sure you won't be disapointed with your choice to run SAP on ZOS.
    as for your questions,
    it wan't easy to find them in this long post , so i suggest you take the time to write a short summary that contains a very short list of questions.
    as for answers.
    here are a few usefull sources of information :
    1. the sap on db2 for Z/os sdn page :
    SAP on DB2 for z/OS
    in it you can find 2 relevant docs :
    a. best practices for ...
    b. database administration for db2 udb for z/os .
    this second publication is excellent , apart from db2 specific info , it contains information on all the components of the sap on db2 for z/os like zlinux,z/vm and so on ...
    2. I can see that you are already familiar with the ibm redbooks , but it seems that you haven't taken the time to get the most out of that resource.
    from you post it is clear that you have found one usefull publication , but I know there are several.
    3. a few months ago I wrote a short post on a similar subject ,
    I'm sure its not exactly what you are looking for at this moment , but its a good start , and with some patience you may be able to get some answers.
    here's a link

  • Best practices for ARM - please help!!!

    Hi all,
    Can you please help with any pointers / links to documents describing best practices for "who should be creating" the GRC request in below workflow of ARM in GRC 10.0??
    Create GRC request -> role approver -> risk manager -> security team
    options are : end user / Manager / Functional super users / security team.
    End user and manager not possible- we can not train so many people. Functional team is refusing since its a lot of work. Please help me with pointers to any best practices documents.
    Thanks!!!!

    In this case, I recommend proposing that the department managers create GRC Access Requests.  In order for the managers to comprehend the new process, you should create a separate "Role Catalog" that describes what abilities each role enables.  This Role Catalog needs to be taught to the department Managers, and they need to fully understand what tcodes and abilities are inside of each role.  From your workflow design, it looks like Role Owners should be brought into these workshops.
    You might consider a Role Catalog that the manager could filter on and make selections from.  For example, an AP manager could select "Accounts Payable" roles, and then choose from a smaller list of AP-related roles.  You could map business functions or tasks to specific technical roles.  The design flaw here, of course, is the way your technical roles have been designed.
    The point being, GRC AC 10 is not business-user friendly, so using an intuitive "Role Catalog" really helps the managers understand which technical roles they should be selecting in GRC ARs.  They can use this catalog to spit out a list of technical role names that they can then search for within the GRC Access Request.
    At all costs, avoid having end-users create ARs.  They usually select the wrong access, and the process then becomes very long and drawn out because the role owners or security stages need to mix and match the access after the fact.  You should choose a Requestor who has the highest chance of requesting the correct access.  This is usually the user's Manager, but you need to propose this solution in a way that won't scare off the manager - at the end of the day, they do NOT want to take on more work.
    If you are using SAP HR, then you can attempt HR Triggers for New User Access Requests, which automatically fill out and submit the GRC AR upon a specific HR action (New Hire, or Termination).  I do not recommend going down this path, however.  It is very confusing, time consuming, and difficult to integrate properly.
    Good luck!

  • Best Practices for Using Photoshop (and Computing in General)

    I've been seeing some threads that lead me to realize that not everyone knows the best practices for doing Photoshop on a computer, and in doing conscientious computing in general.  I thought it might be a good idea for those of us with some exprience to contribute and discuss best practices for making the Photoshop and computing experience more reliable and enjoyable.
    It'd be great if everyone would contribute their ideas, and especially their personal experience.
    Here are some of my thoughts on data integrity (this shouldn't be the only subject of this thread):
    Consider paying more for good hardware. Computers have almost become commodities, and price shopping abounds, but there are some areas where spending a few dollars more can be beneficial.  For example, the difference in price between a top-of-the-line high performance enterprise class hard drive and the cheapest model around with, say, a 1 TB capacity is less than a hundred bucks!  Disk drives do fail!  They're not all created equal.  What would it cost you in aggravation and time to lose your data?  Imagine it happening at the worst possible time, because that's exactly when failures occur.
    Use an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).  Unexpected power outages are TERRIBLE for both computer software and hardware.  Lost files and burned out hardware are a possibility.  A UPS that will power the computer and monitor can be found at the local high tech store and doesn't cost much.  The modern ones will even communicate with the computer via USB to perform an orderly shutdown if the power failure goes on too long for the batteries to keep going.  Again, how much is it worth to you to have a computer outage and loss of data?
    Work locally, copy files elsewhere.  Photoshop likes to be run on files on the local hard drive(s).  If you are working in an environment where you have networking, rather than opening a file right off the network, then saving it back there, consider copying the file to your local hard drive then working on it there.  This way an unexpected network outage or error won't cause you to lose work.
    Never save over your original files.  You may have a library of original images you have captured with your camera or created.  Sometimes these are in formats that can be re-saved.  If you're going to work on one of those files (e.g., to prepare it for some use, such as printing), and it's a file type that can be overwritten (e.g., JPEG), as soon as you open the file save the document in another location, e.g., in Photoshop .psd format.
    Save your master files in several places.  While you are working in Photoshop, especially if you've done a lot of work on one document, remember to save your work regularly, and you may want to save it in several different places (or copy the file after you have saved it to a backup folder, or save it in a version management system).  Things can go wrong and it's nice to be able to go back to a prior saved version without losing too much work.
    Make Backups.  Back up your computer files, including your Photoshop work, ideally to external media.  Windows now ships with a quite good backup system, and external USB drives with surprisingly high capacity (e.g., Western Digital MyBook) are very inexpensive.  The external drives aren't that fast, but a backup you've set up to run late at night can finish by morning, and if/when you have a failure or loss of data.  And if you're really concerned with backup integrity, you can unplug an external drive and take it to another location.
    This stuff is kind of "motherhood and apple pie" but it's worth getting the word out I think.
    Your ideas?
    -Noel

    APC Back-UPS XS 1300.  $169.99 at Best Buy.
    Our power outages here are usually only a few seconds; this should give my server about 20 or 25 minutes run-time.
    I'm setting up the PowerChute software now to shut down the computer when 5 minutes of power is left.  The load with the monitor sleeping is 171 watts.
    This has surge protection and other nice features as well.

  • Best Practices for new iMac

    I posted a few days ago re failing HDD on mid-2007 iMac. Long story short, took it into Apple store, Genius worked on it for 45 mins before decreeing it in need of new HDD. After considering the expenses of adding memory, new drive, hardware and installation costs, I got a brand new iMac entry level (21.5" screen,
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, 1TB HDD running Mavericks). Also got a Superdrive. I am not needing to migrate anything from the old iMac.
    I was surprised that a physical disc for the OS was not included. So I am looking for any Best Practices for setting up this iMac, specifically in the area of backup and recovery. Do I need to make a boot DVD? Would that be in addition to making a Time Machine full backup (using external G-drive)? I have searched this community and the Help topics on Apple Support and have not found any "checklist" of recommended actions. I realize the value of everyone's time, so any feedback is very appreciated.

    OS X has not been officially issued on physical media since OS X 10.6 (arguably 10.7 was issued on some USB drives, but this was a non-standard approach for purchasing and installing it).
    To reinstall the OS, your system comes with a recovery partition that can be booted to by holding the Command-R keys immediately after hearing the boot chimes sound. This partition boots to the OS X tools window, where you can select options to restore from backup or reinstall the OS. If you choose the option to reinstall, then the OS installation files will be downloaded from Apple's servers.
    If for some reason your entire hard drive is damaged and even the recovery partition is not accessible, then your system supports the ability to use Internet Recovery, which is the same thing except instead of accessing the recovery boot drive from your hard drive, the system will download it as a disk image (again from Apple's servers) and then boot from that image.
    Both of these options will require you have broadband internet access, as you will ultimately need to download several gigabytes of installation data to proceed with the reinstallation.
    There are some options available for creating your own boot and installation DVD or external hard drive, but for most intents and purposes this is not necessary.
    The only "checklist" option I would recommend for anyone with a new Mac system, is to get a 1TB external drive (or a drive that is at least as big as your internal boot drive) and set it up as a Time Machine backup. This will ensure you have a fully restorable backup of your entire system, which you can access via the recovery partition for restoring if needed, or for migrating data to a fresh OS installation.

  • Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

    What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

    Hi Brian,
    This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
    SRST Fallback
    This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
    Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    • First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
    • IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
    • Support for up to 240 phones
    • No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
    • Lack of support for alias command
    • Support for Cisco Unity® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
    • Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
    • Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
    • No support for secure voice in SRST mode
    • More complex configuration required
    • Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
    • E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
    Cisco Unified SRST
    • Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
    • IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
    • Support for up to 720 phones
    • Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
    • Support for alias command
    • Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
    • No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
    • Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
    • Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
    • No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
    These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
    Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
    Up to 4 phones
    Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 8 phones
    Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 25 phones
    Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 35 phones
    Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 50 phones
    Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 100 phones
    Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 350 phones
    Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
    Up to 480 phones
    Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 730 phones

  • Best practices for gathering statistics in 10g

    I would like to get some opinions on what is considered best practice for gathering statistics in 10g. I know that 10g has auto statistics gathering, but that doesn't seem to be very effective as I see some table stats are way out of date.
    I have recommended that we have at least a weekly job that generates stats for our schema using DBMS_STATS (DBMS_STATS.gather_schema_stats). Is this the right approach to generate object stats for a schema and keep it up to date? Are index stats included in that using CASCADE?
    Is it also necessary to gather system stats? I welcome any thoughts anyone might have. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Is this the right approach to generate object stats for a schema and keep it up to date? The choices of executions plans made by the CBO are only as good as the statistics available to it. The old-fashioned analyze table and dbms_utility methods for generating CBO statistics are obsolete and somewhat dangerous to SQL performance. As we may know, the CBO uses object statistics to choose the best execution plan for all SQL statements.
    I spoke with Andrew Holsworth of Oracle Corp SQL Tuning group, and he says that Oracle recommends taking a single, deep sample and keep it, only re-analyzing when there is a chance that would make a difference in execution plans (not the default 20% re-analyze threshold).
    I have my detailed notes here:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/art_otn_cbo.htm
    As to system stats, oh yes!
    By measuring the relative costs of sequential vs. scattered I/O, the CBO can make better decisons. Here are the data items collected by dbms_stats.gather_system_stats:
    No Workload (NW) stats:
    CPUSPEEDNW - CPU speed
    IOSEEKTIM - The I/O seek time in milliseconds
    IOTFRSPEED - I/O transfer speed in milliseconds
    I have my notes here:

    Hope this helps. . . .
