Categories based on the level of expertise / experience

UPDATE
*From now on I will not follow the posts in this topic. My last message can be found Re: categories based on the level of expertise / experience*

Hello,
I think the best would be to make categories in the forum based on the level of expertise / experience . As I can see the overall quality of the forum has decreased ... a lot.
I don't know why OPs think that volunteers are here :
- to answer non correctly interpreted questions,
- to give instant answers,
- to read the docs for them,
- to be mentalists,
- to be psychologists,
- etc...
My suggestion is to create 3 categories:
- novice (no certification & small amount of reward points)
- intermediate (OCA || no certification & medium amount of reward points)
- guru     (OCM || OCP || OCA & medium amount of reward points || no certification & high amount of reward points)
(The OCM of course could be in the 4th category, but without having that many OCMs around I doubt that it would be useful.)
Lower level accounts could only read the higher level threads, higher level accounts could write to lower level threads. If a higher level OP doesn't want to physically see lower level threads, then he / she could setup this in his / her profile.
I hope that my sentences will not provoke anyone here. I've always said that "if something bothers me then I will try to change it, if I cannot then I let it be".
Franky
P.S. : I would be glad to see some tips from others as well.
P.S.2 : No flame please!
P.S.3. : SPOILER(!) In case everything fails then I will be looking for another community. So, if there are Oracle - dba - forums with community members having an average of 5-10 or more years of experience , then please don't hesitate to write the urls of these in your reply... Thanks.

Hello Nicolas,
I think you're missing the point here: I didn't say that OCPs are "that good" or people having no certification are " that bad". No, this would be silly.
Your definition of novice is wrong, there are very knowledge people without certification (who told you a certified guy is a good DBA ?) and with very few "reward points" over here (who told you a "zero-point" guy is a bad DBA ?).
Novice on the forum would mean - no certification, no reward points = NO FEEDBACK !!!!!
Intermediate, guru on the forum would mean - certification or reward points = FEEDBACK !!!!
A community cannot rely on personal impressions like "I know that he is a good dba!" In this system everyone had to earn the status regardless of his/her job title. The community must have background information before setting the right level. If you have any tip how to setup categories, then feel free the share your thoughts.
+Same for intermediate or guru, this is a non-sense definition. I know many OCP DBA who are really novice, and again, point system here is just ridiculous.+
What do you think what would happen to those who have OCA or OCP and cannot answer anythig on their level? I will tell you - nothing. They will continue to reply to lower level threads. That's all. I don't think they would open questions on their level either, becuase it would be too embarrassing...
What is the value of 10 points taken when given a doc link ?
Why are you asking me about this? The OP should decide whether the link "worths" 10 points or not. By the way I don't think that OCPs or OCMs would ask such questions....
Well, I'm sure your thread is an open door to discuss on 1) point system on forum (again and again) 2) the value of certification (which have never meant you're a guru).
Ok, I see that the word "guru" is a splinter in your eyes. Feel free to rename it! :-) The value of the certification depends on how much effort has been put into it. If one does it by clicking here and there and everywhere and somehow it's enough to pass the exam - then I agree. If one learns, not only by reading the docs, but by working full time with Oracle itself, then I disagree.
Franky
P.S.: Once again I hope that this is going to be a proactive thread with many good thoughts. Words like "non-sense" or "ridiculous" let me believe that I'm just waisting my time here....

  • 2 different item categories based on Plant

    Hello,
    I have a scenario where I need to determine 2 different item categories based on the Plant.
    I will have the same material produced per 2 different Plants in SAP.
    1 Plant is always producing the material using SAP x APO;
    1 Plant will always be asking a Third party (Vendor) the stock material.
    In this case I need to have 1 item category for the regular sales (Stock based on TAN item category);
    and 1 item category for the third party process (Stock received from Vendor (TAB - ALE PO automatic created).
    I know that I can have both in config, but one of them I could change manually during Sales Order creation.
    However we want to automatic determine the item category according to the plant informed in the item.
    Is there an User Exit that I could use to do it?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply.
    I will try to use MV45AFZB probably reading my plants in a variable set in TVARVC table.

  • How to define primary interaction based on hierarchy level

    I have a 3 level product dimension, such as brand, product type, and product. Now I want to define primary interaction based on the level. If click on brand or product type, it will be drill down. If click on product, it will be send master-detail. Since there is only one column for this dimension on the report when report is constructed, how can I apply different interaction based on the product level?
    Thanks

    iif you are trying to do a normal hierarchical drill down from brand down to product type down to product, and if they are defined so in your database, defining a normal hierarchy is suffice.
    iif you are trying to navigate to a different level in a hierarchy, do a pre-defined drill down.
    all the above options must be defiend in RPD.
    if your Q is not answered can you please elaborate further with the existing example.

  • REQ: Add 'Fit-width' or 'Fit-visible' view mode, in which the zoom level is automatically set based on the width of the _current_ page.

    Currently, the default zoom level when viewing a page of a PDF file is automatically calculated based on the width of the "widest" page of the document. This means that, if the document contains one page that is wider than the others or is in landscape orientation, then the default zoom, when viewing all the other narrower pages, is set in a way so that the page does not use the full width of the screen. This results in very poor experience, because the zoom level and the visible area of the page have to be constantly adjusted for each page. The latest update (at the time of writing) has added some extra view modes, but not the much needed 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible'.
    Personally, I can find no reason valid enough to justify the lack of such a view mode. Automatically setting the zoom level based on the width of the current page so as to take advantage of the full width of the screen should be a must have feature for mobile devices, if not the default behavior. The current default behavior regarding the zoom level is pretty much useless, even on 8"/10" screens. There should be a view mode in which the full width of the screen is always used to display the document.
    Examples of documents for which the Adobe Reader for Android provides a poor reading experience are:
    documents which contain some of their pages in landscape orientation.
    publications which, apart from the main content, also contain the full front and back cover in a single page (usually first page which is much wider than the content pages) or any other extra pages like cards or application forms (that are meant to be printed) which usually use an A4/Letter page size etc.
    documents which have been cropped by external utilities or scripts so as to eliminate unneeded white margins (in some cases not all pages have the same width).
    Please consider fixing the default behavior in future releases of the Reader for Android or add a 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible' view mode.
    Thank you in advance.

    Improved descriptions of example documents.

    To add to this, if you prefer you can separate your JavaScript from your JSF pages.
    Add a folder (I named mine 'js') to your application's ViewController project's public_html folder.
    Via JDeveloper, create a new JavaScript file inside your newly created folder and place your JavaScript functions inside it.
    You can then 'load' the .js file using the method Shantala described, with the addition of an added 'source' property to the af:reference tag.
    (This can also be a URI reference to a JavaScript file hosted on a web server)
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <af:resource source="/js/myJsFile.js" type="javascript"/>
    </f:facet>The benefits of this 'split' are cleaner JSF page source and also code-highlighting and formatting within the .js file making finding and fixing bugs in your JavaScript much easier.
    It appears however, that when using <af:resource> to load scripts, once the page has been submitted even once, the JavaScript is no longer available to the page. Which isn't very useful.
    A solution is to use <trh:script>.
    Add xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" to your <jsp:root> tag and install the library.
    then in place of the above code use:
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <trh:script id="script1" source="/js/myJsFile.js"/>
    </f:facet>Now after a page submit the JavaScript still functions.

    Hi SrikanthGS,
    Assuming that with the last date available for the measure you mean the last date with non-empty figures, consider the following against the AW:
    SELECT [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0,
    Generate (
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].Members,
    ( Exists ( [Date].[Month of Year].[Month of Year], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember ),

  • Sales order item level deliveryblock based on the material's destin country

    Hi Experts
    I have a requirement to set delivery block to an order at the item level based on of country of destination and material.
    -Requirement is to block automatically order line when a material is not authorized (Regulatory affair) to be shipped to the country.
    -We need to allow only authorized person to have ability to remove the block-How can this be set up?
    - Delivery block like these are usually set up for sales org & material (and not country level), the issue here is different countries in same sales org.
    Awaiting for earliest comments
    Thanks
    Banu

    Hi,
    In standard SAP you can not have delivery block at the item level based on the country of destination. Because contry of destination comes from Ship to party master data and material master is not based on the country.
    You need to have development or Exit and Z table. You need to maintain the list of materials allowed to various countries in the Ztable. Exit/development needs to check the table at the time of saving the sales order, 'If there is no table entry, delevery block needs to be maintained on the particular item shipping tab.
    Further you can discuss with your technical consultant about the logic and the possibilities.

  • How to default inv mtl accnt based on the item categories for all trxns

    Hi all,
    There is a requirement for defaulting inventory material account based on the item categories accounts defined in the category accounts window. instead of defaulting from the inventory organization parameters.
    I researched on that and found that we need to do product line accounting setups and modify the accounting client extension code ( Cost Management PDF)
    Am i correct in the approach? will i succeed if we go ahead and do these?
    Need your kind comments....
    Regards,
    Prasad

    Hi,
    I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
    Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination.  I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
    Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
    Hope this will help

    Of course, you are right.
    Standard step sum up results and at the top grid we see result without grid level. But standard program make loop at the SU and when i organize SU then i make  an association sub-SU as filial grid company(per voltage level). At the variant we can manage SU and their sub-SU into settlement procedure.

  • People refinement panel not showing filters that are based on the taxonomy

    Hi,
    I am just wondering if anyone have experienced the problem below or anyone has a solution:
    I have set up enterprise search center and have left the People Refinement panel as default without changing or modifying the web part.  However, the people refinement panel is only showing the "View" filter category and the other default
    categories that are based on the taxonomy  the managed data properties are not getting displayed.  Also, when I search for a specific managed property that is mapped to a user profile property that is based on the taxonomy - I did not get any result.
    The only related error I found was in the ULS log which start with below logs from the Query Processor category of SharePoint Server Search in ULS:
    "Claim http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier: [domain\username] cannot be converted into SPClaim. Argument is an invalid original issuer identifier.  Parameter name: originalIssuer"
    The screen shot below shows more of the ULS log.
    It will be helpful if any one has experience this and can advise.
    Thanks

    Hi all,

  • How to show regions markers in Google maps based on longitude and latitude. on-click of region marker i want to display all the country locations based on the region from share point list?

    Hello every one,
    In My requirement i am having  some regions with longitude and latitude in one SharePoint list. in another SharePoint list i am having the country values with longitude and latitude and region as look up field.  I want to display all the region
    markers in Google maps. on click of any region marker i want to zoom in the map to region level and i need to display all the country markers in Google maps under the region. can any body help me on this requirement.
    Thanks in advance,
    Venu.

    Not sure about Google Maps but this is fairly easy to do with Bing Maps. I've used Bing Maps with SharePoint lists fairly regularly. Here are some blog posts:
    http://blogs.bing.com/maps/2013/03/26/connecting-a-sharepoint-list-to-bing-maps/
    http://blogs.bing.com/maps/2013/03/07/geocoding-a-sharepoint-list-item/
    Once you have your sharepoint list connected to Bing Maps you can easily filter the list data based on the selected country if you have a country column in your list. If you want to take things a bit further an create a much cooler user experience you can
    also use the Bing Maps GeoData API to get the country boundaries and show them on the map as polygons. These could be color coded based on some metric, or set up as the clickable area on the map rather than a pushpin. Here is a blog post on how to use the
    GeoData API with the JavaScript Bing Maps control:

  • Creating Outbound deliveries based on the sales order schedule lines

    Dear all.
    Is it possible to create outbound delivery documents based on the sales order schedule lines?
    Eg:
    Let's say I have sales order line item 10 with below mentioned requested delivery dates in its schedule line level.
    30.07.2009
    10.08.2009
    20.08.2009
    30.08.2009
    Will it possible for me to create different deliveries for those 4 schedule lines individually? I should be able to create 10.08.2009 delivery without clubbing 30.07.2009 delivery with it.
    Appreciate your help!

    I'm not sure because I'm not before SAP but try transaction VL10E that is to create delivery for schedule lines. I'm not sure what are the split criterias.

  • How to create a report based on the selection of a node of a tree

    Hello,
    I am new to Oracle Apex and I was trying to build a tree and also an interactive report based on the empno column of the emp table.
    I have created a tree based on emp table. Now I want to display records of the employee selected in the tree.
    Here is the tree query:
    select case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0
    when level = 1 then 1
    else -1
    end as status,
    level,
    "ENAME" as title,
    null as icon,
    "EMPNO" as value,
    null as tooltip,
    null as link
    from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
    start with "MGR" is null
    connect by prior "EMPNO" = "MGR"
    order siblings by "ENAME"
    Can anyone tell me step by step how to go from here?
    I tried to follow the thread Re: tree question but could not understand much from it.

    The approach for reloading the page and displaying the report is quite simple.
    <li>You start by creating a new page item which would be used to store the selected node ID , eg. P100_SELECTED_NODE (you can make it atext item and change it hidden once everything works as expected)
    <li>Modify the tree query and change the link column in the tree definition SQL query to a link to the same
    for example if your page is 100 , you would make the tree node link to the same page but set the P100SELECTED_NODE with selected node's id_
    This done here
    {message:id=4410987}
    In this case it would be
    'f?p=&APP_ID.:100:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P100_SELECTED_NODE:'||EMPNO as link Now when you click on a tree node link , it would come back to the same page, but set the P100_SELECTED_NODE with the empno of the clicked node.
    <li> All that is left to do, is changing your Report so that it refers to the new item inorder to filter the records for this employee i.e empno
    SELECT ...
    WHERE empno= :P100_SELECTED_NODE

  • Error in characteristic derivation at the level of the invoice item when re

    We are implementing the SAP project for just one small private medical Center which includes mainly outpatient cases in different medical Clinics (different departments in the same medical center) .For example: Radiology center/department, cardiology center Obstetrics center and so on.
    We have defined each center/department as a different profit center.
    Some of departments are subdivided to several medical organizational units; each unit represents a different cost center at the same profit center/department.
    A case-based order (internal CO orders relating to a patientu2019s case) is created in the background when the patient is admitted
    The same patient can get services from few organizational units (in ISH)/cost centers at the same visit/case and that's why it is important to collect revenue and costs at the same case based order. The revenue is posted to the case base order by using billing in the ISH module and the costs by internal activity allocation.
    We have assigned IS-H services to activity types in Controlling; the services transfer to the case based order. CO-relevant services are posted from IS-H to cost centers in CO and within internal activity allocation, allocate them to the case-based order.
    For example:
    X ray service assigned to Technician minutes activity type.
    Each X Ray service takes 20 minutes of  Technician (Qty Cnv Facto=20 MIN)
    The service transfer is preformed automatically at final billing.
    We have implemented Case Costing Level 2 in order to analyze case costs in CO-PA.
    We want to have the ability to derive the profitability analysis characteristics at the level of a line item in the case, for example: we want to define a service or the preformed organizational unit as a characteristic in PA.
    We are not sure what the best feasible solution for this requirement is.
    We investigated few alternatives: 
    1.     We have defined the case based order as real order with a settlement rule to a profitability segment. Revenue and Costs are posted to the cased based order and then settled to the profitability analysis. We eliminated this alternative because we didn't find any way to distribute revenue and case costs to PA between the different "line item characteristics" (for example: different services in the case).
    2.     After eliminating the first alternative we tried to change the solution.
    We have dealt with revenue and costs separately.
    1.     Revenue: In the "configure revenue accounting" We flagged the Post to Prof.Segment checkbox, the patient billing module attempts to determine a profitability segment in CO for each invoice item and to post the revenue to it. The system determines the profitability segment using the characteristics of the patient and case data we defined.
    We are using ISH_CHARACTERISTIC_* functions for characteristic derivation but we couldn't derive user defined characteristics which are defined at the level of the invoice item. (For example: billable service in the case or preformed organizational unit for each service.).We didn't succeed to it by using the ISH_CHARACTERISTIC_* functions.
    2.     Costs:
    We tried to posts case costs (internal activity allocation) directly to profitability analysis, this way we hope to have the ability to derive characteristic of the line item.
    We know that when we use transaction: KB21N for internal activity allocation and we define two receivers, internal order and profitability segment- In case the order will be statistical the true posting will be to profitability analysis segment.
    Therefore we have defined the case based order as statistical order.
    We want to intervene in the automatic creation of account assignment lines by enhancement NHCO0001 IS-H: Create account asgmt. line during CO transfer.
    The transfer program creates for CO-relevant services account assignment lines for Assignment rules.
    But-We didn't find any way to do it, because the profitability segment object is missing in enhancement NHCO0001.
    As an alternative we tried to use User-Exit in the profitability analysis valuation (transaction: ke4u) but also with no success. (Enhancement COPA0002).
    Could you Please advice what to do,I didn't succeed in my ideas and investigations.
    Thanks
    Yael Jacobi
    Controlling Consultant

    HI Claudius
    Thanks for your answer, I will try to discuss it again with my customer to understand weather he really needs/wants a profitability analysis on service level.
    I processed also an inquiry within the Service Remote Consulting according , I will let you know their answer as well.
    I have additional issue to discuss with you , please let me know wheatear you can help me.
    There are internal service sales between different departments in the same medical center. For example: Radiology center/department sells X-rays services for the cardiology center. We need the ability to sell a service to a different department in a different price than to an external payer/customer/insurance provider.
    Is it possible to implement profit center transfer prices along with the ISH_CO integration?,
    How is it getting along with the posting of internal activity allocation when services transfer to Controlling?
    At standard the costs are allocated (by means of internal activity allocation) between profit centers. The responsible cost center (assigned to the performing organization unit) is credited and the case based order (which is assigned to different profit center) is debited.
    Is it possible to implement transfer prices in case the performing organizational units are connected to the same profit center? (because some of departments are subdivided to several medical organizational units; and each unit represents a different cost center at the same profit center/department).
    Do you recommend defining a different profit center also for each sub-department?
    Do you have any other proposed solution for this issue?.
    Thanks,
    Yael
