Difference Between connect and connector steps

Hi All,
What is the difference between connect step and connector step in a workflow?
Thanks
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
Connect: Connects the two steps. These two steps are on the same page of MS visio.
Connector: Connects the two steps of WF if these two steps are on different pages of MS visio, as in case of a huge WF design you can use multiple pages of visio. This is why we have only one point of connection at this icon. It automatically connects the step connected to it to the first step on the next page.
Hope this is clear.
Regards,
Dheeraj.

What is happening inside.. how can u allow scott such as ordinary user to login as SYSDBA and giving all datadictionary access..
Thanks in advance

What is the difference between driver and connector?

Hi for me I am not able to distinguish the both. looks same. If same why two terms? if not what is the difference? Thanking you all in advance.

I am not expert at all, but here is what I found.
The JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) Connector is a program that enables various databases to be accessed by Java application servers that are run on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) from Sun Microsystems. The JDBC Connector connects an application server with a JDBC driver. The Connector allows driver vendors to package drivers so that they will be plug-and-play with J2EE applications and enables application server vendors to allow third-party JDBC drivers to be used with their products. From what I understand a driver sits between a specific database and an arbitrary application.
A connector sits between a driver and an application server. I am not knowledgeable enough to explain more,
but I am sure the use of the two terms is intentional and not a mistake.

Differences between Connect and ConnectNow Add-ins

Recently I took a look at the Adobe Connect 8 and I noticed that it useses different add-in for screen sharing. Dialog for selecting what to share is much better in the Adobe Connect 8: looks better, popups on top of current window(no need to click on taskbar), it is modal. I was wondering if it is possible to use this plugin from lccs(i.e. implement custom ScreenSharePublisher)?
Best Regards, Aleksey

+1 vote. We have the same need. We want to integrate ScreenSharePublisher seamlessly into our AIR app. The permissions dialog doesn't work for us. We would want the ability to customize.
We also need the ability to automatically share a specific rectangular area of the screen. The coordinates for this area is calculated by our app. Is there any way to do this with the ScreenSharePublisher API?
Thanks!

Difference between connection, session and process

Hi all,
Can anyone please update me on the difference between connection,session and process.
Thanks in advance,
- Sri

I got this useful note by googled in net. It describes session,connection,process gracefully.
A connection is a physical circuit between you and the database.A connection
might be one of many types -- most popular begin DEDICATED server and SHARED
server. Zero, one or more sessions may be established over a given connection
to the database as show above with sqlplus. A process will be used by a session
to execute statements. Sometimes there is a one to one relationship between
CONNECTION->SESSION->PROCESS (eg: a normal dedicated server connection).
Sometimes there is a one to many from connection to sessions (eg: like
autotrace, one connection, two sessions, one process). A process does not have
to be dedicated to a specific connection or session however, for example when
using shared server (MTS), your SESSION will grab a process from a pool of
processes in order to execute a statement. When the call is over, that process
is released back to the pool of processes.

Difference between connection pooling and simple connection

Anybody please tell me what is the Difference between connection pooling and simple connection and also where we define connection pooling and how.
Thanks
Please reply soon
amitindia

Creating and closing connection to the database is a relatively slow process. Equally connections use database resources so you can't just open as many as you want.
A connection pool maintains a number of open connections throughout the lifetime of the application. Instead of opening and closing the connections your application just "borrows" them from the pool when they're needed.
If the pool runs out of connections it will usually create new ones as needed until you reach some predefined upper limit.
A good connection pool will also manage connections which have failed for any reason, and report code which fails to return connections to the pool (ie connection leaks).
The number of connections created at startup is referred to as the "low water mark" and the maximum number that the pool will allow to be opened at any given time is the "high water mark". If no connections are available client code will generally block until one is released.
If by "defined" you mean where can you get a working implementation then your database or application server vendor is likely to provide one. Also the Apache Jakarta Commons includes [url http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/]an implementation which you can use with any JDBC driver.

Difference between session and connection

Not sure this is the right place for this, but I am not able to find a proper definition between these 2 terms.
What is the difference between session and connection, theoritically speaking ?

Hello
In order to get the meaning of terms Connection and Session let's define first the term Flow.
The definition of a Flow is historically accepted as:
A unidirectional sequence of packets between 2 network endpoints that have the following 7 things in common:
1. Source IP address
2. Destination IP address
3. L3 Protocol type
4. Source port
5. Destination port
6. Tos (Type of Service)
7. Input interface
The terms Connection and Session can have many different meanings depending on the framework that they are used, but it can be said that:
Connection: A bidirectional Flow
Session: Many connections between the same source and same destination

Difference between passive and active data connection mode for FTP

Hi,
Does any body have the idea of passive and active data connection mode for the transport protocol FTP.
I have one server with FTP, I have to pick the data from this FTP to XI.
What is the difference between active and passive data connection? Does XI supports both the connections?
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan Reddy

Hi
According to SAP Note - 821267
Q: Does the File Adapter support active data connections when connecting to an FTP server?
A: Up to and including SP14, the File Adapter exclusively uses passive data connections. Starting with SP15, active connections will be available.
Difference between active and passive,
You can definitely refer to the site mentioned by Suraj

Is there a difference between Thrive and Excite power connector

Is there a difference between Thrive and Excite power connector? I am asking because there are a lot of Docks for Thrive 10" tablets....... If the power connector is the same, I should be able to dock my Excite 10" onto the same Dock, and purchase a similar poer adapter?
What are your thoughts - is it possible?

As far as I know AC adapter for Thrive uses 30W and Excite only 10W AC adapter.
Have you checked specification for both devices.

Why would i connect a external hardrive to the airport extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN gigabit ethernet?

Hey just wanted to know what is the reason i would connect my external hardrive to the extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN ehternet. I know one is local and other is wide but can someone explain in simpler terms.

Connecting a hard drive to the Airport Extreme makes it available to be shared across all the computers on your network.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is your connection to the internet
LAN (Local Area Network) is your internal (or local) ethernet connections (computers, printers, etc...)

Difference between Datasource and Connection Pool

Hi,
What is the major difference between Datasource and Connection Pool.
Both the Datasource with JNDI and Connectio Pool will serve the pool of connections. Then what is the difference.
regards,
Raj

A datasource is not implicitly a connection pool. You can configure that in the datasource properties. A connection pool is also not implicitly a datasource. You can create your own connection pool using the java.sql interfaces. A datasource just gives the ability to acquire the connections and access the database through JNDI. A connection pool just gives the ability to reuse a set of connections which are created/closed/controlled by the connection pool logic.

What's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation

PLEASE HELP! New Apple user and looking to purchase a used 2nd or 3rd generation ipod touch.
what's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation?
apparently I am told that the 2nd gen does not have the capabilities of listening without headphone? and the 3rd gen does??

Hi maximumslowness - (great name),
The 2nd gen Touch has one internal speaker, so you can listen to it, (both left and right channels) without headphones.
However - it's a small single speaker and it is not very loud. It's not designed for quality listening (neither is the speaker on the 3rd gen as far as I know) and probably will not be adequate if there is a lot of background noise nearby.
One option is to drop the iPod (not literally!) into an iPod Docking station so that the sound can play out through a self-contained mains-powered amplified speaker, which will also charge your iPod. There are many on the market. On the bottom of the iPod is the 30-pin dock connector which can be used to feed the audio to a docking station. Another option is simply to use a cable to connect from the headphone socket to the audio input on any amplifier.
Yet another is to plug in a small fold-up style speakers, such as

or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-Capsule-iPhone-Laptop-Speaker/dp/B002XNO7FQ/r ef=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1332326656&sr=8-6
I've no idea how good the sound is, you'll have to judge that for yourself. The links are both to a UK store, but most countries will have a similar option.
I do not recieve any form of payment or compensatiion for the above links.

Difference between -TlsDomain and -DomainSecureEnabled Parameters for Sendconnectors

Hi Exchange-Community,
I just came across with the different possibilties for securing mail flow between Partner companies.
I'm a little confused by the difference between -TlsDomain and -DomainSecureEnabled. All Whitepapers and tutorials for secured Partner communication refer only to the -DomainSecureEnabled Parameter. (With conjunction of Set-transportConfig -tlssenddomainsecurelist
etc. of course)
Can anybody enlight me when I have to use the -TlsDomain Parameter, and what it finally does?
Thanks for any response
Chris

Hi Chris,
The DomainSecureEnabled parameter is part of the process to enable mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication for the domains serviced by this Send connector. Mutual TLS authentication functions correctly only when the following conditions
are met:
The value of the DomainSecureEnabled parameter must be $true.
The value of the DNSRoutingEnabled parameter must be $true.
The value of the IgnoreStartTLS parameter must be $false.
The TlsDomain parameter specifies the domain name that the Send connector uses to verify the FQDN of the target certificate when establishing a TLS secured connection.
This parameter is used only if the TlsAuthLevel parameter is set to DomainValidation.
A value for this parameter is required if:
The TLSAuthLevel parameter is set to DomainValidation.
The DNSRoutingEnabled parameter is set to $false (smart host Send connector).
For more information about them, please refer to Parameters in Set-SendConnector:

Difference between IntegrationServer and Integration Engine

Hi,
Could you please provide me difference between IntegrationServer and Integration Engine.
functionality of both and what are the runtime environments exits in XI Server.
Could you please show me digaram how message flow from
XI server i.e., through which engines.. what is the input and output of each engine.
Thanks,
RamuV

Hello Ramu,
Go through this link..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/0c733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Use
Two SAP XI 3.0 Integration Servers are used to exchange messages between the system landscapes of two business partners.
Description
An SAP XI Integration Server of a business partner is connected to the SAP XI Integration Server of another business partner. Both use SAP XI message protocol to send or receive messages.
When an SAP XI Integration Server receives a message from another Integration Server it understands the message format and so processes the message.
Example
A business partner that uses SAP XI wants to send a message to another business partner who also uses SAP XI .
·        The message is sent between the Integration Servers in SAP XI message format
·        The Integration Server of the second business partner then sends the message to the relevant business system
Integration Engine
Purpose
The Integration Engine enables you to process XML messages exchanged between applications in heterogeneous system landscapes. Both applications of SAP components and external applications can communicate with the Integration Engine.
Using adapters, the Integration Engine can also process IDocs (Intermediate Documents) and RFCs (Remote Function Calls). This option is available for applications that have already defined IDocs or RFCs, as well as for applications of SAP components that do not yet have access to the proxy generation functions.
Integration
The Integration Engine is the runtime environment of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure. The following are examples of other important parts of this infrastructure:
·        Proxy Generation
·        Integration Repository
·        Integration Directory
The integration processes involved can take place between heterogeneous system components within a company, as well as between business partners outside company boundaries.
Features
The Integration Engine, as a runtime component of SAP Exchange Infrastructure, has the task of receiving, processing, and forwarding XML messages. During message processing, collaboration agreements are evaluated, the receivers are determined, and mapping activities are executed.
The individual processing steps are called pipeline services and are defined in pipelines. It is the task of the Integration Engine to process these pipelines correctly and consistently. To guarantee this, you must configure the Integration Engine accordingly and monitor the message processing. Both event-driven message processing and prioritized message processing are possible.
Thanks,
Satya Kumar

Hi Ravi,
Jin has correctly explained.
Only two connectors are provided from SAP
JCO- for connecting java applications
>.Net connectors - for connecting >net applications
And SAP has provided these connectors bcoz these the two most popular technologies or framefork these days which are very common.
But In my previous examples , I try to explain the concepts only by giving .net as example.
Now for making you clear, No SAP connector is available for C++ for accessing RFC but C++ can access web services using XML and SOAP
Again Note these points.
RFC is SAP specific.
Used For----->
SAP applications- SAP applications
SAP Appl - Java Applications(Using JCO)
SAP Applications->Net Applications( using >NEt connectorprovided by SAP)
Web Service is open standard
Any Platform/Any Language to Any Platform/Language( which can understand SOAp and XML).
For Web Service Detail--
