Difference between shared and public folders

I know this may be a simple question, but can anyone tell me the difference between the shared folder and the public folder? To me, they both seem to serve the same purpose and work in the same way.
Thanks

Hi Will,
Search for 'keep shared files' in the Mac Help on
your computer. The descriptions there should hopefuly
clear things up.
Hope that helps.
iBod,
I know it has been a long time since you responed to this, but I am just getting around to revisiting it. The descriptions make the shared and public folders seem to be different, but in use they appear to function in an identical manner. Is there really any difference in the way they work? If not, why bother having two specialty folders that do the same thing?
Thanks,
Will

Is there a difference between libraries and document folders in Sharepoint 2013?

I am new to Sharepoint and trying to decide if I should use "documents" folders or "library" folders. As far as I can tell, there is no difference. Am I missing something?

Hi,
Use Document library if you need to hold all your documents. and you can create folder inside library also.

File Sharing and Public Folders

I'm trying to share iTunes files (and hopefully) other folders with the other user on my iMac. I placed my music in the public folder and (as far as I can tell) set it up to share. The other user still can't see or access the folders. Is there some file sharing secret I don't know?

The method described by David is how I have been sharing my iTunes music folder with other users on my Mac (with the iTunes library file remaining in my iTunes folder).
It works pretty well, but you do have to remember to occasionally tell iTunes to 'Add to Library', selecting the iTunes music folder in the Shared folder. This then updates the library so it will show new music added. The AppleScript "Super Remove Dead Tracks" is also useful - if you run it in all accounts accessing the shared music folder, it will keep iTunes database listing accurate.
However, i had read that any folder can now be made a share folder in Leopard. How is this done so that other users can access my iTunes music folder, reading and writing music to it? At the moment, i have used System Prefs to make the iTunes music folder (now temporarily moved back to its default location) a share folder. The problem is, there seems to be no way to see it from the other account…

Well, yes, unless there's data in there that someone needs.
The system won't even care, unless you have personal file or web sharing on.

What is difference between Shared ,Exclusive and Exclusive but not commulat

what is difference between Shared ,Exclusive and Exclusive but not commulative lock modes plese tell me

Lock objects are used to synchronize access to the same data by more than one program.
The lock mode controls whether several users can access data records at the same time. The lock mode can be assigned separately for each table in the lock object. When the lock is set, the corresponding lock entry is stored in the lock table of the system for each table.
There are three types of lock modes
1.Exclusive
2.Shared
3.Exclusive not cummulative
Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.
please go through these links:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eed9446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
briefly :
You can lock the table or record by using following types of locking:
1) Exclusive (E) the locked data can only be displayed or modified by single user i.e the owner of the object. Access to other users is denied.
2) Shared (S) several users can access the same record simultaneously, but only in display mode and except the first one, who has asked for the data in update mode.
3) Exclusive not cumulating (X) it is similar to exclusive lock. It allows only a single user access. E can be called several times from the same transaction. In contrast, a lock type X can be called only once during the transaction. Any other call for this lock is rejected.
Activation of Lock Object
1) When you activate the lock object, the functions are automatically generated. And these are ENQUEUE-EZN and DEQUEUE-EZN. EZN is name of the lock object.
2) While ENQUEUE is used in program to set the code over the selected data depending upon the lock object arguments. DEQUEUE is used to release the lock.

Difference between void and null?

wht is da difference between void and null w.r.t java?

corlettk wrote:
Why do you care, unless you're implementing a java compiler or JVM?Wow, you sure do suck at helping out in a forum. Why even make this post? You're not helping the OP any, and you made yourself look like a tool.
To the op:
Null is java's version of a null value. Java's version is more strict then many other languages, and will not work in a boolean expression or anywhere code expects a real and not null value. It's simply null.
Void is java's way of declaring no return type on a method. Methods that are void take no 'return' statement and if one is provided will cause a fatal error. The exception to this is using 'return' without a value, which returns control to the caller of the method.
Observe:
//this method returns an int
public int return_int(){
    int value = 5;
    return value;
//this method does not return an int
public void return_nothing(){
    int another_value = 123;
    System.out.println("Here's the value: " + return_int());
//this method does not return anything
public void nothing_returned(){
    return_nothing();
    return;
    System.out.println("This line never gets printed; the method returned control already!");

Can someone explain the difference between TIER_WEB and TIER_WEBDEV

Hi All,
We have two sets of values in Context file as below.
<TIER_ADWEB oa_var="s_isAdWeb">NO</TIER_ADWEB>
<TIER_ADFORMS oa_var="s_isAdForms">NO</TIER_ADFORMS>
<TIER_ADFORMSDEV oa_var="s_isAdFormsDev">NO</TIER_ADFORMSDEV>
<TIER_ADWEBDEV oa_var="s_isAdWebDev">NO</TIER_ADWEBDEV>
Could you explain the difference between
TIER_WEB and TIER_WEBDEV
and
TIER_ADFORMS and TIER_ADFORMSDEV

These values in a shared APPL_TOP system. Pl see ML Doc 745580.1 (Apply Patches in a Shared Application Tier File System Environment) for an explanation.Not necessarily in Shared APPL_TOP, even in traditional multi-node installation you will find these values in the application context file.
I never came across any document which describes the difference between TIER_WEBDEV and TIER_WEB, I just can say that these variables always have the same value.

What's the difference between this and super in this class

public interface Doggie {
public void wao();
public void fetchBall();
public void run();
public void sleep();
public class Kittie {
public void miao() {
public void catchRat() {}
public void run() {}
public void sleep() {}
public class KtoD extends Kittie implements Doggie {
public void wao() {
this.miao();//here super.miao() will work too,
//what is the difference between them?
public void fetchBall() {
this.catchRat();//here too
public void run() {
super.run();
public void sleep() {
super.sleep();
}

well, just off the top of my head (someone who wants to quote the relevant parts of the JLS can reply here too) - this makes sense, because your KtoD class extends Kittie, which has a miao method. You've not overridden this method, so KtoD's miao method is Kittie's method. Thus, this.miao() and super.miao() refer to the same method. If you had overridden this method in your KtoD class then this.miao() would refer to the overridden miao method, and if you had wanted to call the miao method from Kittie then you would have had to use super.miao()
Did that answer your question?

Difference between Macros and subroutine

Hi all,
What is the difference between the macros subroutine and function module functinalitywise.;

Hi,
Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition.
Macros can take max 9 parameters.
Macros are expanded at compilation / generation.
Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs ('perform
' of 'perform in program ').
Subroutines can take any amount of parameters.
Subroutines are 'expanded' at runtime.
Functions are just like FORMs, but are intended to be called external.
Some differences between FUNCTIONs and FORMs:
The name of a FORM must be unique within the program (two programs can have different FORMs with the same name). A FORM is intended to be called internal (from within the program, however by a 'trick' you can call them external).
The name of a FUNCTION has to be unique throughout the system. A FUNCTION is intended to be called external (and is thus shared by 'many' programs).
The latter is more important for programmers and maintenance. Since a FUNCTION is called external, it is important to keep the interface (parameters) the same. The interface of a FORM (which is intended to be called internal) is check when debugging a program (but it is only checked within the program that is debugged). So if the interface of a FORM is changed, but the call to the FORM (perform ) is not, the debugger will notice this and issue an error message.
In general:
A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice.
A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external).
A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external.
Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I've never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?

Hi,
Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?
I guess R2 is used only for mainframe systems some time back. But i dont know why we prefered R3 over R2.
Please clarify this!
Thanks,
Venkatesh.R.

SAP R/3 is
Client server
3 tier
Presentation
Application
Database
Relatively hardware and database independent
ABAP/4 applications runs on application servers.
Dispatcher, shared memory, gateway, work processes are major components of an application server.
SAP R/3 offers
Comprehensive suite of integrated applications meeting the needs of most business
Best practice process design
Ability to configure to
Industry sector
Unique business requirements
In a R/2 System - it is a 2 Tier System based on Mainframe Systems with Intelligent terminals
R/3 is based 3 tier Client Server architechture and supports the R/2 system as well.
R/3 Middleware -
Client server
Uses underlying relational databases
Oracle
SQL server
Ingress
Sybase
Its graphical user interface
Sap GUI
hence R/3 is preffered over R/2 systems because they support Client Server Architecture which is easily configurable,scalable and can integrate with ERP systems and integrate with SOA or Web based Apps.

What is the difference between "Replace" and "Replace by Security"

Hi all,
I am implementing FDM to Load data to HFM, I set them up with a proper security on the shared service and FDM. When I load data to HFM from FDM, there are 4 options to load data. (Replace, Merge, Accumulate, Replace by Security)
A document states that
Replace: Clears all account values from the target application, and replaces that the data in the application with the data in the load file.
Replace by Security: Loads data to the target application only for members to which you have access.
However, even if I used “Replace”, it worked with security which I set.
Does anyone know what the difference between “Replace” and “Replace by Security”?
Is there any way that FDM works without security?
Thanks in advance
taku

The fact both methods are producing the same results will either be coincidence or perhaps because you are mis-interpreting the difference between the 2. When you run a Replace HFM will clear out all data based on the combination of Scenario, Year, Period, Entity and Value dimensions it does not care if you have set up security classes which may restrict access to any of the other dimensions i.e. Account, Custom1 thru 4. When you use Replace By Security HFM will still clear on the original criteria but it will respect security class restrictions set up on the other dimensions e.g. if you are assigned to a security class which is restricted to accessing only a certain subset of accounts, HFM will not clear data fro the accounts you don't have access to when you use Replace By Security

Difference between implements and extends

Hi all,
what is the difference between implements and extends. i am sorry to ask this silly question, but i am new to JAVA.
Thanks
Balaji

when you extend a class, your class that you are coding inherits every method and field from the extending class. For example:
public class CustomFrame extends JFrame {
//Your class's methods will be in here, but so will all of JFrame's methods.
}You can override (most) methods from extended classes if you want them to do different things than they normally do. The most commonly overriden methods when using swing are stuff like paint(Graphics g). It needs to be overriden to repaint all of the components.
When you imlpement something, you have to specify an interface. Interfaces have methods in them with no code. If you implement an interface, all methods in in must be defined. If not, the code will not compile. Some interfaces like ActionListener extend other classes to perform stuff. The actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) method will perform an action when a button is pressed, etc.

Difference between false and Boolean.FALSE ?

Hello,
can you please tell the difference between false and Boolean.FALSE ?

The trap behind autoboxing is that things work just fine when at least one side of the equation is a primitive. Things turn out unexpected when all of a sudden both sides of the equation happen to be an object:
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args){
          boolean bp = false;
          Boolean bo = new Boolean(false);
          Boolean bo2 = new Boolean(false);
          System.out.println("Primitive VS Boolean.FALSE: " + (bp == Boolean.FALSE));
          System.out.println("Primitive VS new object: " + (bp == bo));
          System.out.println("New object VS Boolean.FALSE: " + (bo == Boolean.FALSE));
          System.out.println("new object vs new object 2: " + (bo == bo2));
}Result:
Primitive VS Boolean.FALSE: true
Primitive VS new object: true
New object VS Boolean.FALSE: false
new object vs new object 2: falseTry explaining that in the context of this thread without ever referring to autoboxing specifically. Remember that people find these posts through Google, if you pass out information while hiding the gritty details, it gets confusing.

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.
