Could anybody explain what  is the difference between cloning and refresh

Hi,
Could anybody explain what is the difference between cloning and refresh
What exactly we do in only E-business suite clone(Database and applications) and only database clone and refresh
Regards,
ravi

Welcome to the forum,
Database Cloning includes cloning the ORACLE_HOME of the database and the copying of data from source to target instance.
Database Refresh includes copying of data from source to target instance. ORACLE_HOME is not copied during a Database refresh.
Similarly Apps cloning includes cloning the techstack, i.e the 806, iAS homes along with APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP and the Database
Apps refersh is again copying the database from source to target. The techstack or the APPL_TOP or COMMON_TOP are not copied during an Apps refresh

  • What is the difference between ALE and EDI

    Hi,
    Can any one please explain what is the difference between ALE and EDI ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ramana

    Hi Ramana
    ALE: used to trnasfer IDOC with in the R3distributed system.
    EDI: used to transfer IDOC from R3system to nonsap system
    IDOCS:
    IDOCS are intermediary documents which are like CARRIERS of the data
    IDOCs are safe to transfer data, but less volume of data. User is not allowed to access (modify) the data like PSA. IDOCs have 3 parts.
    1. Control Record - SOURCE & TARGET details,
    EDI
    EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE
    are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to
    deliver data to the receiving system.

  • Could any one tell me what is the difference between swfloader and module loader?

    Hi  All,
                          Could any one tell me what is the difference between SWFLoader and Module Loader in Flex3 in detail?

    Hi,
    ModuleLoader is a kind of strange API that is really just intended to look like SwfLoader for modules that contain a single visual component, and hides most of the module loading infrastructure, which is all about class factories.
    What I mean by "only loaded once" is that if you have several places in the code that call the ModuleManager.getModule("url").load() call, it will only ever get loaded over the wire and interpreted once, subsequent "loads" will just re-dispatch pseudo-load events to the new client.  In other words, the class factory is a singleton for a given url. Unloading is a totally different story.  As you note, not everything is truly unloadable, because there may be lots of references to stuff in
    the module that will keep it alive and un-GC'ed.
    I suggest playing with the low-level API so that you understand the backing implementation, and this should help you understand the limits of ModuleLoader.
    The main difference between modules and applications is that modules have lower overhead, and they only ever get loaded once, no matter how many times you load them. If you're using the ModuleLoader API, keep in mind that you're losing about half the functionality of the module system.  I will assume that you are, because otherwise it would be obvious where to expose methods.  You might want to play around with the lower level ModuleManager API just to get a hang of what's going on - ModuleLoader is a pretty thin veneer over the lower API.                
                    Basically, what you want to do is to have your module implement an interface, say IModuleWhatever.
    Also try and refer to this link which was previously discussed in this forum..

    No difference other than one is for the Russian market. Specs on both are the same, standard Apple Store issue versions.
    Of course the screen choice of anti-glare, glossy, high res or low res is not included.
    The default is likely the cheap glossy and low res.

  • What are the differences between api and sdk

    Hi,
    Could anybody clarify for me what are the difference between API and SDK? I googled for the answer, and couldn't find any thing on this topic.
    Many thanks in advance.
    javasfan

    Is it correct to say that "a SDK includes all the
    APIs"? or "API sits on top of the SDK"?It's a bit weird to say either. First, the JDK doesn't include all APIs. Just the J2SE core API. Others, like 3rd party libraries or J2EE are not included. Second, if you mean the API docs, they're also not included IIRC.
    It'd technically only be correct to say "the SDK provides an API", I guess. The example is very lame, but: if the SDK is a machine, the API is the sum of its buttons and levers and gauges and intakes and outlets and exhausts. The API docs are the manual.

  • What is the difference between tkprof and explainplan

    Hi,
    what is the difference between tkprof and explainplan.

    Execution Plans and the EXPLAIN PLAN Statement
    Before the database server can execute a SQL statement, Oracle must first parse the statement and develop an execution plan. The execution plan is a task list of sorts that decomposes a potentially complex SQL operation into a series of basic data access operations. For example, a query against the dept table might have an execution plan that consists of an index lookup on the deptno index, followed by a table access by ROWID.
    The EXPLAIN PLAN statement allows you to submit a SQL statement to Oracle and have the database prepare the execution plan for the statement without actually executing it. The execution plan is made available to you in the form of rows inserted into a special table called a plan table. You may query the rows in the plan table using ordinary SELECT statements in order to see the steps of the execution plan for the statement you explained. You may keep multiple execution plans in the plan table by assigning each a unique statement_id. Or you may choose to delete the rows from the plan table after you are finished looking at the execution plan. You can also roll back an EXPLAIN PLAN statement in order to remove the execution plan from the plan table.
    The EXPLAIN PLAN statement runs very quickly, even if the statement being explained is a query that might run for hours. This is because the statement is simply parsed and its execution plan saved into the plan table. The actual statement is never executed by EXPLAIN PLAN. Along these same lines, if the statement being explained includes bind variables, the variables never need to actually be bound. The values that would be bound are not relevant since the statement is not actually executed.
    You don’t need any special system privileges in order to use the EXPLAIN PLAN statement. However, you do need to have INSERT privileges on the plan table, and you must have sufficient privileges to execute the statement you are trying to explain. The one difference is that in order to explain a statement that involves views, you must have privileges on all of the tables that make up the view. If you don’t, you’ll get an “ORA-01039: insufficient privileges on underlying objects of the view” error.
    The columns that make up the plan table are as follows:
    Name Null? Type
    STATEMENT_ID VARCHAR2(30)
    TIMESTAMP DATE
    REMARKS VARCHAR2(80)
    OPERATION VARCHAR2(30)
    OPTIONS VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_NODE VARCHAR2(128)
    OBJECT_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_INSTANCE NUMBER(38)
    OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(30)
    OPTIMIZER VARCHAR2(255)
    SEARCH_COLUMNS NUMBER
    ID NUMBER(38)
    PARENT_ID NUMBER(38)
    POSITION NUMBER(38)
    COST NUMBER(38)
    CARDINALITY NUMBER(38)
    BYTES NUMBER(38)
    OTHER_TAG VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_START VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_STOP VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_ID NUMBER(38)
    OTHER LONG
    DISTRIBUTION VARCHAR2(30)
    There are other ways to view execution plans besides issuing the EXPLAIN PLAN statement and querying the plan table. SQL*Plus can automatically display an execution plan after each statement is executed. Also, there are many GUI tools available that allow you to click on a SQL statement in the shared pool and view its execution plan. In addition, TKPROF can optionally include execution plans in its reports as well.
    Trace Files and the TKPROF Utility
    TKPROF is a utility that you invoke at the operating system level in order to analyze SQL trace files and generate reports that present the trace information in a readable form. Although the details of how you invoke TKPROF vary from one platform to the next, Oracle Corporation provides TKPROF with all releases of the database and the basic functionality is the same on all platforms.
    The term trace file may be a bit confusing. More recent releases of the database offer a product called Oracle Trace Collection Services. Also, Net8 is capable of generating trace files. SQL trace files are entirely different. SQL trace is a facility that you enable or disable for individual database sessions or for the entire instance as a whole. When SQL trace is enabled for a database session, the Oracle server process handling that session writes detailed information about all database calls and operations to a trace file. Special database events may be set in order to cause Oracle to write even more specific information—such as the values of bind variables—into the trace file.
    SQL trace files are text files that, strictly speaking, are human readable. However, they are extremely verbose, repetitive, and cryptic. For example, if an application opens a cursor and fetches 1000 rows from the cursor one row at a time, there will be over 1000 separate entries in the trace file.
    TKPROF is a program that you invoke at the operating system command prompt in order to reformat the trace file into a format that is much easier to comprehend. Each SQL statement is displayed in the report, along with counts of how many times it was parsed, executed, and fetched. CPU time, elapsed time, logical reads, physical reads, and rows processed are also reported, along with information about recursion level and misses in the library cache. TKPROF can also optionally include the execution plan for each SQL statement in the report, along with counts of how many rows were processed at each step of the execution plan.
    The SQL statements can be listed in a TKPROF report in the order of how much resource they used, if desired. Also, recursive SQL statements issued by the SYS user to manage the data dictionary can be included or excluded, and TKPROF can write SQL statements from the traced session into a spool file.
    How EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF Aid in the Application Tuning Process
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF are valuable tools in the tuning process. Tuning at the application level typically yields the most dramatic results, and these two tools can help with the tuning in many different ways.
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF allow you to proactively tune an application while it is in development. It is relatively easy to enable SQL trace, run an application in a test environment, run TKPROF on the trace file, and review the output to determine if application or schema changes are called for. EXPLAIN PLAN is handy for evaluating individual SQL statements.
    By reviewing execution plans, you can also validate the scalability of an application. If the database operations are dependent upon full table scans of tables that could grow quite large, then there may be scalability problems ahead. On the other hand, if large tables are accessed via selective indexes, then scalability may not be a problem.
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF may also be used in an existing production environment in order to zero in on resource intensive operations and get insights into how the code may be optimized. TKPROF can further be used to quantify the resources required by specific database operations or application functions.
    EXPLAIN PLAN is also handy for estimating resource requirements in advance. Suppose you have an ad hoc reporting request against a very large database. Running queries through EXPLAIN PLAN will let you determine in advance if the queries are feasible or if they will be resource intensive and will take unacceptably long to run.

  • What is the difference between exists and in

    hi all
    if i have these queries
    1- select ename from emp where ename in ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    and
    2- select ename from emp where exists ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    what is the difference between exists and in is that only when i use in i have to bring the field name or what.... i mean in a complex SQL queries is it will give the same answer
    Thanks

    You get two entirely different result sets that may be the same. Haah! What do I mean by that.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    FOO
    1 row selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where exists(select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.So, why is this? the WHERE EXISTS means 'if the next is true', much like where 1=1 being always true and 1=2 being always false. In this case, where exists could be TRUE or FALSE, depending on the subquery.
    WHERE EXISTS can be useful for something like testing if we have data, without actually having to return columns.
    So, if you want to see if an employee exists you might say
    SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE EXISTS( select * from emp where empid = 10);
    If there is a row in emp for empid=10, then you get back 1 from dual;
    This is what I call an 'optimistic' lookup because the WHERE EXISTS ends as soon as there is a hit. It does not care how many - only that at least one exists. It is optimistic because it will continue processing the table lookup until either it hits or reaches the end of the table - for a non-indexed query.

  • What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?

    Hi everybody,
    i am facing a problem in my system.It is quite urgent, can you explain me "What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?".
    According to user's requirement, they need to generate a code with format "YYMRRR".
    YY = year of current year
    M = month of current month (IF M >=10 'A' ,M >=11 'B' , M >=10 'C')

    2- UID02 , AAAAA , 125002
    10- UID010 , AAAAA , 12A010
    This is the original Script code. But This script runs very well at my Local. Right format. But it just happens wrong format on production.

  • What's the difference between boxing and unboxing?

    What's the difference between boxing and unboxing, I'm a bit confused?
    Is autoboxing the same as boxing?
    This is what I know so far:
    -This is boxing, i think:
    int  []arrayset = {1,2,3};but I don't understand what unboxing is, can someone explain it to me.

    I did little research, but please correct me ifI'm
    wrong:
    Is this similiar to unboxing:
    System.out.println(intArray[0] + intArray[1] +
    intArray[2]);
    Only if intArray is declared asInteger[]
    intArray ...Then the Integers at intArray[0] etc are unboxedinto
    int primitives before adding.Did you try that before you posted it? Autoboxing is
    applied only to an individual primitive/wrapper.
    Arrays and collections aren't subject to
    autoboxing/unboxing. Basically, the compiler will
    fill in constructs such as Integer.valueOf() for you,
    it doesn't go as far as generating loops and new
    arrays for you
    OP, as Peter said, the difference between boxing and
    unboxing is merely one of direction. Autoboxing wraps
    a primitive up for you, auto-unboxing extracts the
    primitive from a wrapperAm fully aware of that, the OP's example contained references to array elements but it was not clear whether that array was declared as Integer[] or int[], hence my answer.
    And just for the recordInteger[] intArray = new Integer[] {1, 2, 3}; // autoboxing
    System.out.println(intArray[1] + intArray[2]); // autounboxing
    // while ...
    int[] intArray = new int[] {1, 2, 3}; // no boxing
    System.out.println(intArray[1] + intArray[2]); // no unboxingis what i meant.
