Difference between LOCKED and LOCKED(TIMED)

Hi,
Could anybody please elaborate the difference between LOCKED and LOCKED(TIMED) of a user in Oracle
I checked several explanations but did not get clear idea.
Please assist me..
thank you..

Hi,
The first one is simple locking.
But the second occurs when user has failed password attempts which was given to him/her via FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS PASSWORD parameter in his/her profile:
SELECT username, account_status FROM dba_users WHERE username= ‘USER_NAME’;
and
SELECT resource_name,resource_type,limit FROM dba_profiles WHERE profile='PROFILE from 1st query';

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TECO AND LOCK

Will u kindly tell me the difference between Technically Complete(TECO) and Locking

Dear Mr.Deabsish,
Check this content which's taken from sap.help
Technical completion means ending a production order from a logistical viewpoint. This function is usually used, if the execution of an order has to be stopped prematurely or if the order could not be executed in the required manner and open requirements for the order (reservations, capacities) should be deleted.
Prerequisites
The Technically complete function must be allowed for the operation, that is, it cannot be disallowed due to a system or user status.
The following actions are executed if an order is set to Technically complete.
The order is not relevant for MRP planning
Reservations are deleted
Capacity requirements are deleted
Purchase requisitions for external operations or non-stock materials are deleted
The order and its operations receive the system status Technically Completed (TECO)
If an order is technically complete, you cannot change it. The fields in the order are displayed but cannot be changed. You can however cancel technical completion, for instance if order data has to be changed.
After technical completion you can still make postings for the order. For instance, material withdrawal or a confirmation can be posted if they were previously forgotten.
Activities
You can execute this function in two ways:
When you are changing an order, choose Functions - Restrict processing - Technically complete.
Technically complete is a function that you can use in mass processing.
You can reverse technical completion as follows:
When you are changing an order, choose Functions - Restrict processing - Revoke technical completion.

Difference between closing and locking the WBS

Hi,
May i know what is the difference of locking vs closing WBS?
Can you state some example?
Thanks!

WBS closing: Once project is completed or no further expenses are envisaged for the WBS , it will be closed. Once closed, normally, it is not possible to go back to lower staus, i.e open, and post the entries.
WBS Locking : Locking is temporary blocking of entries to the WBS.

What's the difference between Protect and Lock tabs?

I'd like to begin each new session with the same pinned tabs open to the landing page for each site. I'm not sure how to do that

You may set Firefox to start with tabs from the previous session. That is in the preferences | options from the menu button .
* See [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
You may pin tabs from an option on right clicking them. Such pinned tabs are remembered with other tabs if you set Firefox to use the previous sessions tabs.
You may also be interested in customising and pinning sites to the newtab page.

What exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock

Can someone explain in simple words (with example if possible) what exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock?
I have gone through documentation & other links,but just not able to figure out the exact & clear difference between these three..
Cheers,
Kunwar

In addition to links provided by Sb and nice explanations by Aman, i would like to add below :
1.Latches and enqueues are lightweight serialization devices used to coordinate multi-user access to
shared data structures, objects and files.
Latches are locks that are held for extremely short periods of time, for example the time it takes to modify
an in-memory data structure. They are used to protect certain memory structures, such as the database
block buffer cache or the library cache in the shared pool (as described in Chapter 2, Architecture). Latches
are typically requested internally in a ‘willing to wait’ mode. This means that if the latch is not available,
the requesting session will sleep for a short period of time and retry the operation later. Other latches may
be requested in an ‘immediate’ mode, meaning that the process will go do something else rather than sit
and wait for the latch to become available. Since many requestors may be waiting for a latch at the same
time, you may see some processes waiting longer than others. Latches are assigned rather randomly, based
on the ‘luck of the draw’, if you will. Whichever session asks for a latch right after it was released will get it.
There is no line of latch waiters, just a ‘mob’ of waiters constantly retrying.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like ‘test and set’ for operating on latches. Since the instructions to set
and free latches are atomic, the operating system itself guarantees that only one process gets it. Since it
is only one instruction, it can be quite fast. Latches are held for short periods of time and provide a
mechanism for clean-up in case a latch holder ‘dies’ abnormally while holding it. This cleaning up
process would be performed by PMON.
Enqueues are another, more sophisticated, serialization device, used when updating rows in a database
table, fro example. They differ from latches in that they allow the requestor to ‘queue up’ and wait for
the resource. With a latch request, the requestor is told right away whether they got the latch or not.
With an enqueue, the requestor will be blocked until they actually attain it. As such, they are not as fast
as a latch can be, but they do provided functionality over and above that which a latch can offer.
Enqueues may be obtained at various levels, so you can have many ‘share’ locks and locks with various
degrees of ‘shareability’.

Difference between Truncate and Deete .

Hi All,
Can any one pls tell me,
what is the main difference between Truncate and Delete.
Thanks in advance ,
Sanjeev.

Deletes perform normal DML,it take locks on rows, they generate redo and they require segments in the UNDO tablespace.
If a mistake is made a rollback can be issued to restore the records prior to a commit.
Truncates are DDL. A truncate moves the High Water Mark of the table back to zero so all extents bar the initial are de-allocated from the table

Difference between wait() and sleep()

hi
can any one tell me what is the difference between wait() and sleep().
thanks in advance.

Mahaboob,
This question has been asked before; however, I will give you a real life example.
Imagine you are in a super market and you go to the till to pay by your card, then behind you there are 10 people waiting in queue. You card does not work since you have not supplied the right pin code; there are two option
1- Sleep
2- Wait
1- If you sleep you will lock the till for your self and try to figure out the pin number while the queue behind you increase on the resource (till)
so you are engaging the till and wasting its time and wasting the till machine resource (CPU)
2- you are polite, you move aside and wait so so that others can use the resource (till) until somebody in the queue finishes ( a good person) and give you a shout to tell you come in to the till to process your payment; you wake up and enter the pin number and go out from the super market.
Now when you sleep, the current thread locks the resource so no body can use it and wast the CPU time
while wait make the current thread release the lock on the object and does not ( this thread) actually wast the CPU time
There are much more explanantion, try to search this forum.

Whats the difference between bookmarks and favorites?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/909148]]</blockquote>
What is the difference between bookmarks and favorites? I use favorites, but only see instructions for bookmarks. I use windows 7 and all the folders and individual sites were listed together alphabetically. Now all the folders are listed together, and there are two different sections of alphabetized sites below that. Why? How do I get all the favorites listed together in alphabetical order?

The term favorites, or favourites, is used by other browsers such as Internet Explorer, whereas Firefox uses the term bookmarks.
The technology behind the two also differs somewhat, but it is still for instance possible to import favourites from IE to Firefox see
* [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]]
Once the favourites are imported and appended to your bookmarks thay can be organised by dragging and dropping etc

Difference between Using and Changing

hi,
while defining subroutines, what is the exact difference between Using and Changing?
when we pass by reference we can use both and while passing using value we can use both + Value (VAR).
Then what is the exact difference between two?
Also, what is formal parameter?q

Edited by: Rob Burbank on Dec 14, 2009 3:31 PM

Hi C`hinmay,
When a subroutine is called with "USING" you can make use of the value inside your subroutine but you cannot change the value. With CHANGING you can CHANGE the value too. Formal parameter is the PARAMETER NAME used while defining the interface of a Subroutine.

Whats the difference between SM50 and sm38

HI GURUS
whats the difference between SM50 and sm38??? job overview and process overview

hi sharma,
sm38: intial queueueue Info, information about the request quest queue of the server in question is displayed. The dispatcher forwards each request it receives to a work process of the appropriate type. If all the processes of this type are occupied, the dispatcher stores the request in a queue.
In the queue info you can see for each work process type:
·        The number of requests currently waiting. Usually this should be 0.
·        The total number of requests waiting, since the server has been running.
·        The maximum number of requests that can be stored in the queue (specified in profile parameter rdisp/elem_per_queue)
·        The number of requests written and read since the server has been running.

Difference between ACS and ISE

What is the big difference between the ACS and the ISE? We just purchased an ACS server to start locking down ports on our switches and use the Radius functions to better secure our wireless environment. It has been ordered but not yet arrived. I had a discussion with management today about preventing the IPads / IPhones / Smartphones / etc. of the world from accessing the network. If the user knows the credentials for getting their laptop onto the network then they can use these same credentials to get their IPad on the network. How do we detect and prevent is the current question.
In discussing with others the ISE comes up. The questions now become what is the big difference between this and the ACS. Do they work together or independently since they both seem to have "radius on steroids". Can I configure the ACS to do the same functions? I figure this will have to be something on a MAC address level anyway. Oh and one other thing. My wireless infrastructure is not Cisco.
Off to continue the research path ....
Brent

To put it simply I usually say ACS = RADIUS, ISE = NAC.
ISE will do RADIUS functions as well as NAC functions. Eventually you'll probably see ACS go away and be simply replaced by ISE.
ISE will do posturizing and profiling of a device to see if it truly meets requirements to be on a certain VLAN. For your example if you were to my credentials on my own smart device I would have access. ISE could profile this device to see if it truly is a corporate owned device or not. If it wasn't ISE can switch the network that the device connects to, say a guest network.
ISE can also do captive web portals for wired/wireless guest access.
I wouldn't rely on any type of MAC address authentication as I can easily spoof that.

Difference between SE16 and SE16N

Hi Experts,
What is difference between SE16 and SE16N ? I am using se16 to download data from VBAP table for last 1 year. I am getting timed out. I am not sure if SE16N will be better in performance. Please let me know.
Thank You
Madhu

hi,
Se16 is data browser.
When creating table, you will find a check box 'Table maintenance allowed'. If we
check that option, we can manually enter entries using SE16 or table
maintenance generator screen.
Se16N is table browser.
You can go into these transactions and see the difference.

Difference between Null and null?

What is the difference between null and NULL?
When is each used?
Thanks,

There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.
