Difference between srategy profile and strategy tab in heuristics

Hi,
What is the difference between srategy profile (global settings) and strategy tab in heuristics..
while running heuristic which one will be used for schedulling?
why SAP has provided strategy profile separatly?. as per as i know R/3 inetgration profile in global setings makes sence..but i am not sure why they have provided follwing options( strategy profile) in global settings
1)Interactive Planning
2)Integrated DS Plng Bo
3)Planning Run
regards
Rajesh

Hi,
In a new installation of SAP APO 4.0, you always define the strategy settings in the heuristic settings.
After an upgrade to SAP APO 4.0, you can either work with the strategy settings in the heuristic or u2013 as before SAP APO 4.0 u2013 with strategy profiles.
If you want the heuristic to use the strategy settings from the heuristic settings, you set the Use Strategy Settings from Heuristic indicator on the Basic Settings tab page in the heuristic settings. The indicator is not set in the standard system.
If you want the heuristic to use a strategy profile, you do not set the indicator.
In the production planning run, the heuristic uses the strategy profile you specified for the processing step. If you have not specified a strategy profile, the heuristic uses the strategy profile you entered in Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) under Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults in the Planning Run field.
In interactive planning, the heuristic uses the strategy profile you entered in the Interactive Planning field.
Thanks,

  • Difference between like profile and relignment

    Hello Friends,
    Difference between like profile and relignment ?
    useing like profile we can generate stat forecast for new product ,where as in relignment we can generate new cvcs if iam wrong pl correct me and iam looking for more details

    Sivaram,
    The Key differences between Like profile and Realignment are:
    1. For Like profile to work, you need to have CVCs for the new product in place before you can execute it. 
    In realignment, you can create the new CVCs and then copy the data from Old CVC to the new CVC during a realignment run.
    2. Like profile does not actually copy the demand history of one product to another and store it in livecache, it merely used the history by referring to the history KF and then generating forecast in the forecast number which does gets written to live cache.
    Whereas using realignment, you can do copy history from old CVC to the new CVC or for that matter any KF data can be copied from old CVC to new CVC that throughout the history and forecast horizons.
    3. Like profile works hand in hand with Statistical forecasting functionality of APO.
    Whereas Realignment is independent of Forecasting.

  • What's the difference between the LRU and NRU strategy for stateful session bean?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know the difference between the LRU and NRU strategy for
    stateful session bean?
    Thanks,
    Levi

    LRU makes the assumption that the bean that has been used a lot recently is
    likely to be used again.
    NRU simply removes the beans that have not been used for a stipulated amount
    of time.
    The algorithm for the LRU is much more complicated than the NRU. I think BEA
    recommends LRU for better performance and NRU when you have memory
    constraints.

  • Difference between NAC profiler/collector and NAC server

    Hi,
    could anyone tell me the difference between NAC collector and NAC server?
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards.
    Giuseppe

    Sorry edunn, but your description of the NAC Collector is not particularly helpful. If I may:
    The NAC Profiler/collector is OEM'd from Great Bay Software. It performs automatic whitelisting of agentless devices, like IP phones and PBXs, printers, etc. In a NAC deployment without the profiler you'd have to go in to the NAC Server and manually enter the MAC addresses and/or IP addresses of devices that should bypass authentication and/or posture assessment. In a small environment that's not a big deal, but with multiple offices and/or subnets (with lots of phones or printers) this can be a hassle. Its also a big risk: If I know you're whitelisting by mac/IP I'll just go to a printer, print out its config page, set my NIC to have the same settings, and boom - I've just bypassed your $$ NAC solution, thankyouverymuch.
    The nice thing about the NAC profiler is that its -not- static: every time a switchport goes up/down, or a new MAC address is detected, an SNMP trap gets sent to the profiler. You can also forward (via ip-helper) all DHCP requests to the profiler (it doesn't respond or issue an IP address, of course, but it does look at what options you requested.) It will look at the MAC vendor address, IP address, DHCP options, network traffic (via Netflow), SPAN port traffic, has an open port (eg. 9100 or 515 for printing) or a combination of the above, and dynamically whitelist agentless devices based on confidence level.
    Its sort of like a reverse Turing test: if a device says its 'dumb' (no agent) AND acts the way its supposed to, it gets whitelisted. But if the Profiler starts seeing a supposed printer surf the Internet (or start receiving traffic on a port it should, or whatever), then it dynamically removes it from the whitelist, and now it will need to authenticate and pass posture.
    You can define different profile groups and what parameters are required for each, and set which groups get whitelisted.
    So basically the NAC Server is the gatekeeper, the NAC Manager is the global policy manager, and the NAC Profiler is the automatic whitelister.

  • Difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated

    Hi!
    Can anyone tell me the difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated in tcode RRP3 in tab Forecast?
    In tab detail I have the Plan Qty (Forecast) and the Withdrawal Qty that most of days is the same quantity as Plan Qty and no value in Allocated. The category text is Forecast is this cases.
    In other days, I have Withdrawal Qty different from Plan Qty and values in Allocated. I see that the allocated values are from orders or deliveries because the category text is SalesOrder or Deliv. and I see the ECC document number, but what means Withdrawal Qty in this and other case?
    EX:
    date                  material    location     category text  Plan Qty  Withdrawal Qty  Allocated
    12.03.2009     1270999     UN02     FC req.            726         726                       0
    17.03.2009     1270333     UN02     FC req.          1.478         410                     60
    17.03.2009     1270999     UN76        SalesOrder     0     0                             40     
    17.03.2009     1270999     UN769     SalesOrder     0     0                             20     
    Regards,
    Teresa Lopes

    Hi Teresa,
    The forecast tab shows the consumption scenario.
    It has Planned Qty. , Allocated Qty.,  Withdrawal and remaining.
    Planned Qty. is the qty in forecast keyfigure
    Allocated is the qty. allocated to the sales order by the system.
    Withdrawal is the qty. totally deduced from the forecast once the order is PGIed.
    Remaining is the qty. left in forecast
    Example:
    If the strategy is 10 ( sales orders do not consume forecast)
    You have a forecast of 100 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 0
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 100
    You create a sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 50
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 100
    You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 50
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 100
    You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty:0
    Withdrawal: 50
    Remaining: 50
    The same above thing when the strategy is anything else except 10 like 20, 30 or 40 ( sales orders consume forecast)
    You have a forecast of 100 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 0
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 100
    You create a sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 50
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 50
    You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty: 50
    Withdrawal: 0
    Remaining: 50
    You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
    Planned qty: 100
    Allocated Qty:0
    Withdrawal: 50
    Remaining: 50
    Hope this helps.

  • What's the difference between FM 'UPLOAD' and FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_T'

    What's the difference between FM 'UPLOAD' and FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'

  • Difference between SSA2.0 and 2.1

    Hi,
    Is there any note that explains the major differences between 2.0 and 2.1 both in terms of data model and SSA UI settings? I see that a few of options I had in 2.0 are missing in 2.1.
    Thanks,
    Voodi

    Hi Voodi,
    There are 2 parts to your question.
    Primary Role - This concept does not exist in SPM 2.1  This was used in 2.0 to specify which Browse menu (Content Tree) to display.  In SPM 2.1 there is only one Browse menu (Content Tree).
    Data Source - This concept still exists in SPM 2.1  This is used to determine which 'Dimensions & Measures' are displayed when user wants to create new reports.
    So in your case (when using a SPM 2.1 system) you would select the detail data source to create a new detail report and save it under the 'Detail Report' folder, next under measure properties select a specific measure -> under Detail Reports tab you select the detail report created to link it to this measure, provided you are an administrator.
    So basically the functionality still exists to create a new detail report and link it to a measure.
    Regards,
    Rohit

  • List of differences between PSE 40 and PSE30

    A lot of users are asking what are the differences between PSE 30 and PSE 40.
    This Thread provides information on this subject. First, you will find information copied from the section "New Features" of the useful "Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 User Guide". Then later on, you might find additional information on the same subject provided by users of PSE.
    --- Start of copy of information in the PSE 4.0 User Guide ----
    1 What's new in PSE 4.0
    1.1 Editing and selection
    1.1.1 Magic Selection Brush tool
    Easily and accurately select portions of your photos using this new tool in either Standard Edit and Quick Fix. Simply scribble or place dots on the object you want to select -no need to precisely outline the object- and Adobe Photoshop Elements selects the object for you. You can add to or subtract from the selection by using additional tools in the options bar. (See User Guide "To use the Magic Selection Brush tool" on page 193.)
    1.1.2 Magic Extractor.
    Easily select an object in a photo and extract it from its background. Just scribble or place dots on
    the object you want to extract; then scribble or place dots on the background, and Photoshop Elements separates the object from its background. This tool is perfect for creating composites or scrapbook images. (See User Guide "To use the Magic Extractor" on page 194.)
    1.1.3 Skin tone adjustment
    Click an area of skin and watch the tonal balance of all colors in the photo improve. If you
    want, you can also manually adjust the color by using color sliders. (See User Guide "To adjust the color of skin tone" on page 224.)
    1.1.4 Red eye removal
    Automatically remove red eye during import, or select one or more files and easily remove red eye
    in either the Organizer or the Editor. (See User Guide "To remove red eye" on page 249.)

    1.2.2 Slide shows on TV
    If you have Windows¨ XP Media Center 2005 installed, you can view your Photoshop Elements
    slide shows on your TV and navigate using your TV remote control. (See User Guide "To output a slide show" on page 354.)
    1.3 Tagging and organizing
    1.3.1 Face tagging
    Select a group of photos and let Photoshop Elements isolate and display all the faces so that you can
    quickly tag them. The Find Faces dialog box displays thumbnails of each face until you tag it. (See User Guide "To automatically find faces for tagging" on page 101.)
    1.3.2 Search by metadata
    Search for a variety of metadata criteria, such as file name, file type, shutter speed, camera

  • Differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)

    What are the main differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)?
    Now it seems to me that PDF (Interactive) is limited version of PDF (Print).
    Any links to read about this topic?
    Thank you in advance,
    Mykolas

    There's actually quite a few differences between (Interactive) and (Print).
    Here's a list of pointers written by Michael Ninness (previous product manager of InDesign and now working at Lynda.com) http://www.lynda.com/michaelninness
    I just got premission from him to post this (Thanks Michael!):
    Here is some info for you regarding what choices are being made under the hood when you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive).
    Things that just happen or are included, with no choice in the dialog box:
    Hyperlinks, Bookmarks, Fast Web view, Compress Text and Line Art, Crop Image Data to Frames.
    Things that are not included, with no choice in the dialog box:
    Visible Guides/Grids, Hidden and Non-Printing Layers, Hidden and Non-Printing Objects, Marks & Bleeds, No Ink Manager or Simulate Overprint options.
    Things that you can choose:
    Security Settings, Embed Page Thumbnails, Create Tagged PDF, Create Acrobat Layers, Initial View, Initial Layout, Open in Full Screen Mode, Page Transitions, Image compression and resolution.
    Other:
    Fonts: Subset 100%
    Color Conversion: Destination
    Destination: sRGB
    Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
    Transparency Flattener: No Flattening
    And lastly, Compatibility is set to Acrobat 9 (PDF 1.7). This last point is important, and largely explains the main reason we split Interactive PDF out as a separate export choice from Print PDF. When you export an interactive PDF from CS5, included media is now written out to the Rich Media Annotation Layer, which means this content is played back via the embedded Flash Player within Acrobat Pro 9 or Adobe Reader 9 or higher. In previous versions, this content was written out to the Screen Annotation Layer, which meant this content was played back via QuickTime. This has been a long-standing headache for end users as playback across platforms was often inconsistent, would frequently break when Apple updated QuickTime, etc.
    Lastly, if you want to include rich media in your interactive PDFs (SWFs, audio and video), the only formats supported if you want to target Adobe PDF (Interactive) are MP3 for audio and FLV for video. Other file formats will need to be converted to these formats before you export to Interactive PDF. For video files, you’ll be able to convert to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder. For audio files, you can use any number for free audio conversion tools, including iTunes.

    Hi Kumar,
    coming to customization in between SO(Rush order) and OR(Standard order).
    Go to VOV8 T.Code.
    The Rush order has the details as "Under Shipping tab",
    There will be "X" mark in the immediate delivery .
    the Rush order will be having the order related billing.
    But the Standard order can be either Order related or Delivery related.
    In Standard order after creating the order we are going to create the order we are going to create the delivery by using "VL01n" T.Code.After that we are going to create the billing by using "VF01" T.Code.

    I think you understood if you need any other info. pls ask.

  • Difference between settlement order and standing order

    Can someone state the difference between standing order and settlement order with examples in the organization tab of equioment.

    Hi,
    Standing Order
    Standing orders are used to carry out on-going maintenance jobs and settle them at month end rather than creating a fresh PM order every time. Using order hierarchies, you could attach sub-orders to the standing order and settle them to the standing order to provide you with more precise recording of maint costs at sub-order level as well as a budget monitoring at the standing order level.

    In Standard order after creating the order we are going to create the order we are going to create the delivery by using "VL01n" T.Code.After that we are going to create the billing by using "VF01" T.Code.

  • What is the difference between a scam and spam?

    I come across these complaints from skype community members on spamming and scamming. Any distinction?

    A spam is an electronic message that is randomly sent to a large number of people who never solicited that message and a scam is a trick which is cleverly made successful by gaining the confidence of the victim.There is big difference between a scam and a spam but people often take it as one thing. In some cases, as such in Facebook, a same thing is acting both as a scam and a spam.Recently a spam started crawling the profile walls of the Facebook users. This acted as a spam because it was sent to a large number of people who never wanted that message and at the same time it also acted as a spam because it successfully convinced people to click on it and do what it says. This confuses people to judge either it is a spam or a scam. It can be both, a single message can fall into both categories. Gmail, WordPress, Hotmail, etc have a good automatic system of identifying spam emails thus making our lives safe and secure. If they didn’t have made progress in spam detection then our blog comments and our emails would have been full of useless messages.That was a brief description explaining the main difference between a spam and a scam. Enjoy yourself and beware of the scams and spams. Internet is full of them. Sourced from: ChasingEyesComputer Tips, Internet, Blogging and Lots More

  • What is the difference between FND_CONC_CLONE.setup_clean and target_clean

    What is the difference between fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean and fnd_conc_clone.target_clean?
    I always run setup_clean to wipe out all the information carried from source, and then run adautocfg.sh on dbTier followed by appsTeir. This will give me the clean newly cloned ebs system. But what is target_clean for? What is the difference between setup_clean and target_clean;
    James

    I finally go through the code and actually run the target_clean in our test system. Here is general rule, if you clone the ebs system, you only need to run setup_clean, it will clean out topology information or ebs connection information from the system. Then you run adautocfg.sh on db tier first following by adautocfg.sh on apps tier. All the topology or connection information will be populated again inside the database.
    Once you have cloned the system, you do not want any printer setup info, log/out info or profile info carried from source, then you can run target_clean. For me, I do need preserve printer and profile info, so I need to export following 4 tables before running target_clean.
    FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES,
    FND_PRINTER,
    FND_PRINTER_TL,
    FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS
    Hope this will help.
