Client Content Question.

Calling to any web designers...
I have just started selling websites and one client has just sent me some PDFs and images and basically said 'sort it'.
How do you all obtain content?
I'm thinking if I give them a sort of sitemap explaining what I need and where it will go on the page so they can send me the information all in order in a word document or something?

I would ask them to tell you how they want to sort it. Otherwise they will say it's wrong but you had no clue. Then use a database to sort through their PDFs. And any meetings you can schedule with them would be helpful just to lay things out it cannot hurt to plan it out and use Visio or some tool like that to create a visual map of their site.

Checkpointing - control file contents question

Some clarification is needed if possible...
When you commit a transaction:
- commit scn is recorded in the itl of the data block and undo segment header
- lgwr records the committed scn (for all data blocks involved) to the redo log
Checkpoint Event
- (3 seconds or possibly less passes by) CKPT wakes up and signals DBWn to write dirty (modified and committed)
blocks to disk
- CKPT records the scn of those blocks in the control file (data file and redo thread sections) and the data file
header (task of checkpoint when a log switch occurs)
- Checkpoint position in the Redo Log is forwarded
Control file contents question:
When LGWR writes the commit scn to the redo log, who writes the scn to the control file? LGWR or CKPT?
Also, when is the redo thread scn written?
Matt

Matt,
This is my understanding of the stuff. Feel free to correct me.
Checkpoint SCN , as I mentioned in my last reply is the marker of the point till which the data is "chekpointed" to the datafiles. This marker tells the controlfile that in the case of the crash, where to start recovery of the datafile and have to go which extent in the redo stream? This is only available in the datafile header and in the controlfile. This doesn't get recorded in the redo log file/stream.
I mentioned checkpoint queue in my reply too. Though I couldn't find any reference directly mentioned between this and in the checkpoint SCN but I believe my theory , if not totall, partially is correct. The incremental checkpoint is the stuff which makes the decision that how many redo blocks needs to be applied to the datafile if its closed without a proper checkpoint. So this part is maintained in the Datafile header itself in the form of the checkpoint SCN. When not matched with the conrolfile checkpoint SCN, which is always higher than this, a recovery is reported.
I hope its somewhat correct. Do let me know your views too.
Cheers

Internet or Intranet Clients - Content Location

Our current Configuration Manager 2012 R2 environment is running with existing servers and clients in intranet mode. We are wanting to add a server in our DMZ to support internet only mode for our DMZ servers. Additionally, we are contemplating leveraging
this new server to support laptops in an "Internet or Intranet" configuration as described here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/bb693755.aspx
My question is regarding content location for these "Internet or Intranet" clients. If the client is offsite (so the intranet servers are viewed as offline) and the content is available on the server setup to support internet clients, obviously
the client will download the content from the internet server. However, should we be distributing all of the content that is available to the intranet servers to the internet server? If an "internet or intranet" client receives policy
for a package who's source is only available from an intranet server does the deployment completely fail when the client is offsite....or does the client wait until the content is available from an intranet server?
Also, if you have a link to documentation of this, that would be great.
Thanks!

There's no documentation describing this exact scenario. The client sends a content location request to its MP but if the necessary content is not on the Internet facing DP when the client is connected via the Internet, then the content location
request will fail. The client will periodically retry the content location request including when the client sees that it has changed network locations and so this will eventually succeed once the client is on the Intranet again. So, effectively, yes
the client will wait till its on the Intranet -- it doesn't really have a choice though.
What implications are you worried about here?

Application client contents

I have a J2EE application consisting of several war modules, an EJB module, a number of client modules, and several helper class jars, all packaged in an ear file. When it is deployed, I noticed that one huge client jar is created which contains stub classes, contents of all helper jar files, ejb module, and client jars, and those jar files as well. To me, this seems purely nonsensical for several reasons:
1. If I packaged my clients in separate modules, it probably means I intend to use them separately, so the deployment process should produce separate clients as well
2. Why include both jar archives and their contents at the same time?
3. Why include all classes in the client jar? This is not only useless (since most of them are not used by clients anyway), but it might be dangerous as well. What if, in my application, I use a third-party library (together with a license)? Am I supposed to give this to all users of the application through the client jars? A more logical behaviour might have been to include in a client archive only the contents of those libraries requested by the client (through class path entries in the manifest file, for example)
If anybody can think of reasons to explain these, please let me know. I can't find any, myself.

Hi,
I don't think the huge client jar you are talking about is intended to represent your client application itself; rather it is what the server thinks a client would need to be able to communicate with your server application. This jar is produced at server deployment, regardless whether you put client modules in your app or not.
I think you're very right with the other two questions; it's illogical, to say the least, that my client jar is twice as big as my whole server application. It would be nice if someone from Sun would elaborate a little on the strategy behind it.

Client Definition Question

I asked this question in another forum here, got some helpful feedback and a recommendation to post the question here as it might be more fitting for some in this group.
In getting ready to teach a class, I've been putting together my set of SAP terms and getting ready to explain them to the class. I've been cross referencing the SAP Glossary and other sources to try to give as correct a definition as possible. In looking at these, one element I've been wondering about is the SAP definition of a client within SAP ERP.
The SAP glossary defines client as "In commercial, organizational, and technical terms, a self-contained unit in an SAP system with separate master records and its own set of tables." I find the last phrase in that definition (which I've italicized) to be puzzling. In an instance where multiple clients are sharing the same underlying database, each client does not have its own set of tables. To my knowledge that's not a required element of a client. (That's why the mandt field is so common in tables.)
So...why is that phrase a part of the definition and what is SAP intending it to mean? Is a distinction being drawn here between logical segregation of content (vs. actual segregation)? Or is there something here that I'm just not understanding?
As an example of what I'm talking about, if we have one instance of SAP ERP that has multiple activie clients, and If we were to take table T001 which contains company code information mapped to a particular client, wouldn't all the clients in that instance be sharing that same table?
I realize that logically if one uses transaction SE16 to view the table from within SAP ERP, only the information for the client one is working within is shown. My thinking had been that if one were to look at this table directly in the DBMS, the table would show all of the clients active within this instance. So in that sense each client is using the same set of tables with logical segregation of data based on the MANDT field. (i.e. if I had 3 clients running on one SAP instance tied to an Oracle backend, the backend would not have 3 totally independent databases for each client.)
Am I missing something here, or is the definition of client a bit misleading?

Hi Tony,
Pity that your question did not get a reply in more than two weeks.
I am happy to say that I have never come across the "its own set of tables" statement. Whoever wrote that is either ignorant or a victim of a very bad mistranslation. A client is a logical "subdivision" of the data stored in a SAP database. I'm not old enough to confirm this, but when I started at SAP I was told that the client concept came from the time when several companies shared a single database on some large central mainframe and obviously could not be allowed to see each other's business data. Today the use of a client is different, e.g. it provides for separation between customizing and sandbox clients in a development system, or between say test and training clients in a QA system.
Technically all clients share the same set of tables. A "client-dependent" table has the characteristic that its first field (and the leading field of its primary key) is always the client number. The "client-dependent" attribute is maintained in the SAP dictionary. When an ABAP program contains a statement like "SELECT * FROM TAB" and TAB is client-dependent, the DB interface in the kernel will automatically convert this to "SELECT * FROM TAB WHERE MANDT = "<client>". An SQL trace (ST05) of a simple business transaction will reveal this behaviour immediately.
Not all tables are client-dependent, some are cross-client, i.e. their data is visible to and shared by all clients in the system. As a rule, all master/transaction tables are client-dependent, while system tables containing instance-specific rather than business-specific data (e.g. the list of printers) are cross-client. Customizing tables are mostly client-dependent but some are cross-client (I'm a technical consultant so I can't really tell you why that is).
You are perfectly correct that if you look at a table at database level rather than through SE16, you would see records for all clients residing in the same table. Incidentally the same can be achieved in ABAP by adding the CLIENT SPECIFIED option to the SELECT statement but the code of business transactions must of course do no such thing.
Also, the client concept is not specific to Oracle so the advice to post the question on the SAP/Oracle forum seems a little misleading. SAP implements the client concept regardless of the underlying database.
Hope this clarifies things,
Mark

Standard Client definition question

I've been cross referencing the SAP Glossary and other sources to try to give as correct a definition as possible.

The SAP glossary defines client as "In commercial, organizational, and technical terms, a self-contained unit in an SAP system with separate master records and its own set of tables." I find the last phrase in that definition to be puzzling. In an instance where multiple clients are sharing the same database each client does not have its own set of tables.

Tony,
Ah, you were talking about the underlying DBMS engine, not the application.
When SAP is talks about tables, they are talking about the data structures within the application. Clients do not share these tables (well, there are a few client independent tables).
I misunderstood your original question. You are talking about the underlying DBMS, which also stores data in tabular form. Yes, the DBMS structures do store data from multiple clients.
When SAP passes requests for action to the underlying DBMS, such as oracle, the application 'knows' where the data is stored, and uses the keys generated within the app to perform reads and writes on the databases.
I am not a Basis expert, so I can't speak with authority about T001 or other specific SAP tables, and it's relationship to the underlying database. You might want to post your question in one of the more techie forums such as

Odbc client impact question 8.1.7 / Windows 2008 r2 64X

howdy all , i have several questions which might have been documented , but not marked as supported so maybe someone could answer just a few of my questions here goes :
- we have an oracle 8.1.7 (p2 ) database with support running on linux 2.4
- the clients connecting to the database is an older 8.1.6 (2) odbc client ( either running NT / 2000 / XP ) 32bit
- the application which uses this database and odbc connection is damgaard axapta 2.5
i have read several documents that 10.2 oracle odbc client is supported connected to an older database, but i have not seen any documented related to my case
( either everybody has moved on or no-one else has experienced a similar situation )
what im trying to accomplish , is connecting a sharepoint server (2010 ) with sql (2008 ) with powerpivot
powerpivot reads data from the oracle server through an odbc connection to an excel file ( works fine under a workstation rolled out as 32 bit )
so my main concern is , what if i install the 10.2 client on my server 2008 connecting to the 8.1.7 database , what could be expected ?

I would think you could expect a world of headaches. Why, why, why do people insist on running software that hasn't been supported in the current millenium? Why, why, why do they upgrade everything except the database?
See MOS note 207303.1. It appears that your proposed combination is not supported.

Business Content Questions - Urgent

Can you please help me with the following questions...
1. I installed business content for CRM Sales Activities. I was also successful in loading transaction data. There is some master data that also needs to be loaded, but many of the master data datasources are not available when I checked RSA5 in the CRM system. How should I approach this problem?
   2. When installing business content, if "match (X) or copy" is selected and if we select background installation, will the system overwrite the objects or will it leave it in the existing version?
   3. When activating business content reports, I get the error "BEx transport request xx is not suitable or not available". What could this mean?
   4. After development, do I simply gather all the objects and transport them to QA/PRD or do I have to activate business content in QA/PRD systems also?
Thank You.

Hi,
1.The datasources are:
Opportunity - 0CRM_OPPT_H - Opportunities header
0CRM_OPPT_I - Opportunities Items
Activities - 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 - Activities
Master data -

Client-server question

hi there..
I'm writing a java client that connects to a server to recieve some messages and classify them to different kinds, and then append these msgs to a database application. I have 2 questions:
1. After connection is established to the server, how can my client program know that the server has been down for whatever reason? Note: im not the one who writes the server application, and that the server does not notify my client of its departure.
2. Im thinking of creating a number of connections to the DB application thats equal to the no. of msg types i have( i have 4 msg typs, so i create 4 DB connections), will this improve the program performance more than having one DB onnection that carries all msg types?
Thanks.. Mourad

1. In your client if a connection is lost you will get an excepntion and you can deal with that...
2. its a good idea to use a connection pool package to manage your connections. it will know when and how many open connections you will need. There are may packages out there. use an open source one

Client Reboot question

When the client is set to auto reboot in like 1 hour you get a popup (2) one has a count down and then in like the last 15 mins you get another one that you can't hide, my question is there a way to change the notification message? If so how, Thanks.
MSB

Why not there has to be some file in sccm that I can modify.
Why does there "have to be"?
Are the strings displayed in the product somewhere? Absolutely.
Did the they build the product with the ability for them to be changed? Probably as I'm sure the strings are already customized for different languages.
Did they expose the ability to change the strings to the "consumer"? No.
Could you find the resource files where the strings are stored? Most likely. It's probably in a resource DLL.
Is it supported to change these by hacking the resource file? No.
Is it possible that you screw something up in the process of hacking a resource file? Yes.

Hello,
I am novice with certs and I have a question. I want to implement EAP-TLS in a WPA deployment and I have a question about the client-side certificate.
When I install a client certificate in a machine for a specific user, is this certificate only valid for this machine and this user? Or can I export this certificate and use it in another machine but the same user?
Thanks in advance,

From my experience, you can copy the certificate to another computer (assuming a modern OS). There are two problems with this, though:
1 - You must be able to export the entire certificate, including the private key, to be able to use the certificate on another machine. Most PKI implementations prohibit/disable this.
2 - If you can export the certificate, including the private key, then you are risking the loss of integrity of your PKI. Someone else can get that cert with the private key and impersonate the user.

REST Client Proxy Question

Objective: To call REST service from PB12.5.2 Classic application.
Current implementation: Using MSXML and INET objects to call GET and POST methods.
Problem: This implementation works fine until we have bulk calls (like 100K calls to the service in a single session). Sometimes it errors out because the XML sent to the service is 0 bytes (as seen on Fiddler)
Better alternative: Can we create a new PB.NET PB assembly with a REST client proxy and call the proxy function from our PB classic application? Can we build DLL and reference it from our classic application?
Is there any working example of the same?
Bruce - I have seen your example in http://brucearmstrong.sys-con.com/node/2133766/mobile
You talk about calling the WCF service from the classic application, have you tried the REST service call? I have followed the same steps you have mentioned and hit a roadblock when it came to the REGASM command, not sure which DLL to register now that I have 3 different DLLs. I have explained the steps I have taken in this document - http://www.pbgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/pbnet.docx
Thanks,
Praveen

You notes show:
REST client assembly: CalcPremrequest.dll
Wrapper assembly: restsvc_assembly.dll
The wrapper assembly should already be strong named in the project. The assembly that doesn't get strong named when PB generates it is the REST client assembly. That's the one that you'll need to disassemble to IL and then recompile with a strong key name file in order to give it a strong name. Your document shows you're doing that on the wrapper.
Both assemblies need to be added to the GAC if that is where you are going to have them.
You might start out without signing the REST client assembly, and just using the /codebase argument to REGASM to have it create registry entries that point to the local file location. Once you have it working that way you can then deal with adding the assemblies to the GAC.
The error you are getting may be a result of the wrapper assembly getting corrupted when you attempted to strong name it.

Automating Essbase version 11.1.1.3 Client Installs Question?

Sorry if this is not the place to post this question, but does anyone know if there is any other way to install Essbase client components individually for Essbase add-in and Essbase administration services (EAS) without using the Oracle install tool? I have a client that needs to automate the installation for 600 users and because they have no standard image the program they use needs to push the software to the desktops prior to starting the install.
Using the installation tool required that approximately 4 GB of software be pushed to the client workstations prior to installing the software and they would like a smaller foot print. I know that SmartView has a thin installation program, but does anyone know of another option other than using the install tool provided by Oracle for the Essbase add-in and EAS?

Hi,
Have a read of this post for details on another option for installing the excel addin :- EssBase excel add-in automated install
For EAS you can always use the web client so you wouldn't need to install anything on the client machine.
Cheers

JDev 11g: Task Flows,Rich Client- some questions to the Oracle team

Hello,
We're currently involved (early stages) in a large project with a Jan-Mar 2008 pilot delivery timeframe - one heavily including end-user customizable workflow elements, to which the aforementioned JDev/ADF 11 features would be a great fit.
Our plans so far were to go ADF with BC and include Shale or Spring WebFlow plus custom development to provide for the very same things that the feature-complete Task Flows will offer.
Questions:
1. Delivery timeframe - any unofficial pointers on the schedule for the next JDev/ADF releases?
2. Platform compatibility - Will the framework (ADF) run on J2EE 1.3 (OAS 10.1.2.x) or does it require 1.4+?
3. Design-time-at-runtime for Task Flows - Do we have it in the released bits? (Couldn't find it). Any pointers on how is it supposed to operate?
4. Am I right to think that what we're seeing with Task Flows is (among other things) a piece of the replacement functionality for the decommissioned Oracle Workflow subsystem (which bit us, by the way, as it was part of our original architecture).
5. Will Rich Client support older platforms than the currently supported IE7 and Firefox 2?
Thanks for any and all pointers,
Thanassis Stathopoulos
Athens, Greece

Thanks Shay,
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/11/newfeatures/index.html
Regarding my question 3 "Design time at runtime" - quoting from "JDeveloper 11g new features" at the above URL, under "ADF Task Flow". The third entry from the paragraph's end reads:
'Support for customization of task flows at runtime using "design time at runtime"'.
I was wondering what this is exactly - web-deployable editor to edit the flow definition after deployment?
Re your point 4, product replacement - with the feature set described in the paragraph above, Task Flows is much more than a Web UI controller. With "save for later", transactions, flow abstraction/nesting, BPEL outcalls, conditional logic, method calls etc etc it probably covers 50% of a typical workflow package and 75% of an embeddable workflow library (audit trail/timeouts/persistence nonwithstanding). This made me wonder whether it is part of a bigger, yet-to-be-announced OAS feature. Especially if one also considers the "design-time-at-runtime" sentence listed above.
Now, definition-wise, I guess it' s whether this feature set is considered half-full or half-empty :-)
Thanks again,
Thanassis
