Comparison between Parallel and VMWare

I am wondering which is better to run Window XP: Parallel or VMWare?

They both work well. They both have free trial versions available for download. Try them then pick the one you like best.
If you don't want to try them for yourself, there are thousands of reviews comparing Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox here http://www.google.com/search?q=compare+parallels+vmware+fusion+virtualbox&ie=utf -8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

  • Comparison between Purisma and JCAPS?

    I am researching several CDI (Customer Data Integration) solutions and I've narrowed this down to two solutions Purisma and JCAPS. I am mainly comparing the matching engines, record linkage efficiency and any machine learning capabilities.
    Has anyone done a "head-to-head" comparison between JCAPS and Purisma?
    Does anyone have any screenshots of the JCAPS record linkage tool for manual duplicate handling?

  • Comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i

    We have some client/server-based applications built in Forms6i and are considering to convert/rebuild them into Forms9i or JDeveloper as web-based applications. Has anyone done any comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i/JDeveloper? Or, can you point me to such documentation if existed?
    Thanks.

    For comparison between forms 6i and Oracle9i Forms check out the new features paper on:

    Comparison to JDeveloper? How about the fact that you develop with Java language in JDeveloper and with PL/SQL in Forms.
    I would suggest that first you try to run your application on the Web using forms 6i. This should be a very simple test to do. See how you like it and only then ask yourself if you really need to go to JDeveloper.

  • Comparison between 3750 and 3750-metro

    hi folks,
    is there any links which will provide me on the comparison between 3750 and 3750-metro? for exapmple, isis is not support on 3750 but it support on 3750-metro. The product information from cisco site is insufficient in term of the main differences :p

    Hi Josh,
    The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series is built for Metro Ethernet access in a customer location, enabling the delivery of more differentiated Metro Ethernet services. These switches feature bidirectional hierarchical QoS and Traffic Shaping, intelligent 802.1Q tunneling with class-of-service (CoS) mutation, VLAN translation, MPLS, EoMPLS, and Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) support, and redundant AC or DC power. They are ideal for service providers seeking to deliver profitable business services, such as Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS VPNs, in a variety of bandwidths and with different SLAs.
    The metro switches have the PXF chips (which allow hierarchical QoS on the 2 "WAN" GigE ports, so several logical links can share a connection, and have soft bandwidth limits).
    For more details on 3750-M switches have a look at this link

  • Comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion

    Hi ,
        I need to prepare a document to show up the comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion. For eg: Business Unit in PeopleSoft and what is the concept in Fusion that is similar to Business Unit. Can anyone help me with a document that will give me detailed comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion.
    Thanks,
    Fathima Farsatha

    I can't find any comparison on the internal database.  Can you add more about your goals with the question?  Are you stuck with a Business unit issue or functionality.  Since Fusion was built form the ground up it is a completely different software product.  If you have a very specific question then we might be able to collaborate with different groups and provide an answer or fix.

  • MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PARALLEL AND SEQUENTAIL PRCESSING???

    HI PALS,
    I WANT THE COMPLETE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PARALLEL AND SEQUENTIAL PROCESSING!
    IN THE CONTEXT OF RFC.

    Hi
    Parallel Processing
    To achieve a balanced distribution of the system load, you can use destination additions to execute function modules in parallel tasks in any application server or in a predefined application server group of an SAP system.
    Parallel-processing is implemented with a special variant of asynchonous RFC. Itu2019s important that you use only the correct variant for your own parallel processing applications: the CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION IN GROUP keyword. Using other variants of asynchronous RFC circumvents the built-in safeguards in the correct keyword, and can bring your system to its knees
    Details are discussed in the following subsections:
    ·        Prerequisites for Parallel Processing
    ·        Function Modules and ABAP Keywords for Parallel Processing
    ·        Managing Resources in Parallel Processing
    Prerequisites for Parallel Processing
    Before you implement parallel processing, make sure that your application and your SAP system meet these requirements:
    ·        Logically-independent units of work:
    The data processing task that is to be carried out in parallel must be logically independent of other instances of the task. That is, the task can be carried out without reference to other records from the same data set that are also being processed in parallel, and the task is not dependent upon the results of others of the parallel operations. For example, parallel processing is not suitable for data that must be sequentially processed or in which the processing of one data item is dependent upon the processing of another item of the data.
    By definition, there is no guarantee that data will be processed in a particular order in parallel processing or that a particular result will be available at a given point in processing. 
    ·        ABAP requirements:
    ¡        The function module that you call must be marked as externally callable. This attribute is specified in the Remote function call supported field in the function module definition (transaction SE37).
    ¡        The called function module may not include a function call to the destination u201CBACK.u201D
    ¡        The calling program should not change to a new internal session after making an asynchronous RFC call. That is, you should not use SUBMIT or CALL TRANSACTION in such a report after using CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK.  
    ¡        You cannot use the CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION IN GROUP keyword to start external programs. 
    ·        System resources: 
    In order to process tasks from parallel jobs, a server in your SAP system must have at least 3 dialog work processes. It must also meet the workload criteria of the parallel processing system: Dispatcher queue less than 10% full, at least one dialog work process free for processing tasks from the parallel job.
    Function Modules and ABAP Keywords for Parallel Processing
    You can implement parallel processing in your applications by using the following function modules and ABAP keywords:
    ·        SPBT_INITIALIZE: Optional function module. 
    Use to determine the availability of resources for parallel processing. 
    You can do the following:
    ¡        check that the parallel processing group that you have specified is correct.
    ¡        find out how many work processes are available so that you can more efficiently size the packets of data that are to be processed in your data.
    ·        CALL FUNCTION Remotefunction STARTING NEW TASK Taskname DESTINATION IN GROUP:
    With this ABAP statement, you are telling the SAP system to process function module calls in parallel. Typically, youu2019ll place this keyword in a loop in which you divide up the data that is to be processed into work packets. You can pass the data that is to be processed in the form of an internal table (EXPORT, TABLE arguments). The keyword implements parallel processing by dispatching asynchronous RFC calls to the servers that are available in the RFC server group specified for the processing.
    Note that your RFC calls with CALL FUNCTION are processed in work processes of type DIALOG. The DIALOG limit on processing of one dialog step (by default 300 seconds, system profile parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time) applies to these RFC calls. Keep this limit in mind when you divide up data for parallel processing calls. 
    ·        SPBT_GET_PP_DESTINATION: Optional function module. 
    Call immediately after the CALL FUNCTION keyword to get the name of the server on which the parallel processing task will be run. 
    ·        SPBT_DO_NOT_USE_SERVER: Optional function module. 
    Excludes a particular server from further use for processing parallel processing tasks. Use in conjunction with SPBT_GET_PP_DESTINATION if you determine that a particular server is not available for parallel processing (for example, COMMUNICATION FAILURE exception if a server becomes unavailable).
    ·        WAIT: ABAP keyword
    WAIT UNTIL
    Required if you wish to wait for all of the asynchronous parallel tasks created with CALL FUNCTION to return. This is normally a requirement for orderly background processing. May be used only if the CALL FUNCTION includes the PERFORMING ON RETURN addition.
    ·        RECEIVE: ABAP keyword
    RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION Remotefunction
    Required if you wish to receive the results of the processing of an asynchronous RFC. RECEIVE retrieves IMPORT and TABLE parameters as well as messages and return codes.
    Managing Resources in Parallel Processing
    You use the following destination additions to perform parallel execution of function modules (asynchronous calls) in the SAP system:
    In a predefined group of application servers:
    CALL FUNCTION Remotefunction STARTING NEW TASK Taskname
    DESTINATION IN GROUP Groupname
    In all currently available and active application servers:
    CALL FUNCTION Remotefunction STARTING NEW TASK Taskname
    DESTINATION IN GROUP DEFAULT
    Sequential Processing
    In the following cases, the system chooses sequential (non-parallel) processing:
    ●      In table RSADMIN, entry QUERY_MAX_WP_DIAG has value (column value) 1.
    ●      The entire query consists of one sub-access only.
    ●      The query is running in a batch process.
    ●      The query was started from the query monitor (transaction RSRT) using various debug options (for example, SQL query display, execution plan display). See, Dividing a MultiProvider Query into Sub-Queries.
    ●      The query requests non-cumulative key figures.
    ●      Insufficient dialog processes are available when the query is executed. These are required for parallel processing.
    ●      The query is configured for non-parallel processing.
    ●      You want to save the result of the query in a file or a table.
    In Release SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the system can efficiently manage the large intermediate results produced by parallel processing. In previous releases, the system terminated when it reached a particular intermediate result size and proceeded to read data sequentially. This is no longer the case. Therefore, the RSADMIN parameter that was used in previous releases for reading a MultiProvider sequentially is no longer used.

  • Comparison between cFP and cDAQ

    Hi,
    I'm looking for (as much details as possible) a comparisons between compact Fieldpoint and compact DAQ hardware.  I'm trying to decide which hardware platforms to use.
    TIA

    Compact Fieldpoint is for installed, industrial type applications.  It has a realtime operating system.  The controller runs code to read inputs and operate outputs.  The application can be distributed on an ethernet network.  There are different modules available for different types of inputs and ouputs.
    Compact DAQ also has numerous input and output modules.  It is more intended for portable applications.  It connects to your PC through a USB port.  So the code would need to run on the PC

  • Resolve trouble between Parallels and Windows under Boot Camp

    After seeing several threads relating to this issue, I decided to make this it's own thread instead of trying to reply to each. hopkinsvscloudlivestream.blogspot.com/2013/03/watch-hopkins-vs-cloud-live-stream-2013.html This article NOW resolves all issues pertaining to using Windows under Boot Camp through Parallels, INCLUDING activation. Hopefully Parallels will be able to integrate these fixes into a future release.
    Before doing anything, I would recommend preparing your existing Windows installation under Boot Camp, for Parallels, before trying to access it through Parallels. If you have already installed Parallels and now have problems, don't worry, this article should address and resolve these issues as well.
    Something to know upfront: using your existing Boot Camp installation with Parallels will most likely require you to activate your Windows installation a second time. The reasons for this are addressed in Section 4 of this article.
    Section 1: Preparing your Boot Camp Installation for Parallels
    (If you already tried to access your Boot Camp installation through Parallels, and can no longer get into Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels, please skip this step and come back to it after you have completed Section 2.)

    Personally, I think the software fix is a band-aid for a larger hardware problem, probably involving the power management circuitry. I think the reason Photo Booth and QuietMBP and Windows XP all work to silence the noise is because they draw more power by using more CPU, and it's the extra power draw that kills the noise. Nothing scientific, mind you, just a hunch.
    What if your speakers made an annoying hum that went away whenever you started playing music through them in iTunes? Would you still think it's a software problem? I think it's a similar situation here - where software can cover up the issue but not really fix it...

  • Comparisons between WLI and SeeBeyond e*Gate Integrator?

    Does anyone have any point of view about similarities and differences between
    WLI and SeeBeyond e*Gate Integrator? I have some familiarity with e*Gate, and
    I'm just starting to learn about WLI (although I'm pretty familiar with J2EE
    and WebLogic Server).
    It appears to me that WLI assumes that data collaborations between systems will
    go from binary to XML, then perhaps to transformed XML, and then to binary.
    I'm perfectly happy with using XML, but I wonder if it would be practical in
    some cases to skip the XML representation and translate directly from one
    binary representation to another. From what little I know of e*Gate, the most
    straightforward transformations are just binary to binary, although XML
    transformations are available.

    OK? Transfer Cable ? What is being transfered ?
    I didnt think you could just uproot a Windows OS on an almost dead Tower and Transfer it to a virtual window
    That would be Nice though,
    You don't "uproot" Windows. You install Windows using Parallels to create a virtual Windows computer on your Mac. You don't transfer the OS to a virtual window. You transfer any existing data you want to the Windows virtual machine. This can be done by networking your virtual machine to your old computer in the same manner you network any computers in a LAN (wireless, Ethernet, etc.). Or you transfer your data manually (Sneakernet, sd card, flash drive, etc.)
    Perhaps reviewing the info at the Parallels site will help you.

I am also interested in the differences between the x201 and the x201s.

  • Difference between parallelism and allocate channel

    Whats the difference between
    Rman> run{
    allocate channel c1 device type disk;
    allocate channel c2 device type disk;
    AND
    RMAN> configure channel device type disk parallelism 2;

    Channel:
    Each channel establishes a connection from the RMAN client to a target or auxiliary database instance by starting a server session on the instance. The server session performs the backup, restore, and recovery.
    PARALLELISM:
    Configures the device types that are eligible for use in jobs that use automatic channels and sets the degree of channel parallelism. The DISK device type is the default.
    The PARALLELISM parameter specifies the number of automatic channels of the specified device type allocated for RMAN jobs. RMAN always allocates the number of channels specified by PARALLELISM, although it may actually use only a subset of these channels.
    By default, PARALLELISM = 1. Specifying CLEAR for a device type resets its settings to the default. For example, you can set PARALLELISM for disk backups to 3. If you configure automatic channels of type disk and tape, and set the default device type as disk, then RMAN allocates three disk channels when you run BACKUP DATABASE at the RMAN prompt.
    To change the parallelism for a device type to n, run a new CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE ... PARALLELISM n command. For example, you can change configure PARALLELISM to 3 for sbt and then change it to 2 as follows:
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 3;
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
