Difference in performance MXML and XHTML pages

We are testing with the beta 904 release. I've build the same application in MobileXML as in XHTML. There seems to be a big difference in performance if I load the pages XHTML. MXML renders much faster.
The header of the XHTML pages looks like this (with enabled caching):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.oracle.xhtml+xforms; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import='java.util.*' %>
<%@ page errorPage="ErrorPage.jsp"%>
<jsp:useBean id="UserDetails" scope="session" class="nl.transiciel.asw.UserDetails" />
<jsp:setProperty name="UserDetails" property="*" />
<%
// response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
// response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
// response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
%>

Are there ways (instead of buying a new server with a faster CPU) to improve the performance of the XHTML pages?
The MXML page header looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<%@ page contentType="text/vnd.oracle.mobilexml; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ page errorPage="ErrorPage.jsp"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="UnitDetailsBeanId" scope="session" class="aswe.UnitDetailsBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="UnitDetailsBeanId" property="*" />
Any suggestions?

Hi,
There were performance bottlenecks that were identified since beta 4 that have subsequently been resolved. These should be made available in the production release.

Difference between Next Set and Next Page

Hi,
does anyone know what is the difference between Next Set Template and Next Page Template in a Report Template?
Thanks,
Gari.

When you have a report with say 15 pages you can split it into a set like:
page 1 -5 , 6 - 10, 11 -15
When you select the next set HTML DB wil go from
1,2,3,4,5 [next set] to 6,7,8,9,10 [next set]
When you go to the next page is just shows the next page. You can go from page 5 to 6 with the next page and still end up on the next set :-).

I think your problem may be able to be solved by Dashboard Builder. It can embed the Xcelsius

Difference between Temp table and Variable table and which one is better performance wise?

Hello,
Anyone could you explain What is difference between Temp Table (#, ##) and Variable table (DECLARE @V TABLE (EMP_ID INT)) ?
Which one is recommended to use for better performance?
also Is it possible to create CLUSTER and NONCLUSTER Index on Variable table?
In my case: 1-2 days transactional data are more than 3-4 Millions. I tried using both # and table variable and found table variable is faster.
Is that Table variable using Memory or Disk space?
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Check following link to see differences b/w TempTable & TableVariable: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/05/15/temporary-tables-vs-table-variables/
TempTables & TableVariables both use memory & tempDB in similar manner, check this blog post: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/07/20/table-variables-are-not-stored-in-memory-but-in-tempdb/
Performance wise if you are dealing with millions of records then TempTable is ideal, as you can create explicit indexes on top of them. But if there are less records then TableVariables are good suited.
On Tables Variable explicit index are not allowed, if you define a PK column, then a Clustered Index will be created automatically.
But it also depends upon specific scenarios you are dealing with , can you share it?

You don't have Add and Customize Pages permissions required to perform this action - but i do!

Hello.
I am having a similar problem to the one described by this post here:
http://kiruthik.com/2010/10/05/YouDontHaveAddAndCustomizePagesPermissionsRequiredToPerformThisAction.aspx
However, his resolution of changing web.config under wwwroot did not fix my issue.
Here is the situation on a recently upgraded SP2010.
1) Create a document library. Set the document template to "basic page"
2) give a user full control on the document library.
3) Go, under that users credentials, to the document library and create a new document.
4) Name the document whatever and hit create
5) a page is displayed which says the following: "Web Part Error:
A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. You don't have Add and Customize Pages permissions required to perform this action."
6) Become confused as giving someone "full control" on the library should obviously inherit the permissions to when they create a document and try and edit it.
If i give the user "full control" on the entire site (site actions -> site permissions), then the document pops open an editor which would allow you to add content to the basic page. Obviously, i do not want to give users full control to the
entire site :)
Giving the user "Add and Customize Pages" permissions on the entire SITE allows them to edit get the popup to edit the file, but this is not desireable either since then they could "Add, change, or delete HTML pages or Web Part pages,
and edit the Web site using a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible editor.". I do not want them to edit any web pages, i just want them to edit a particular lists webpage!
Things i have tried:
- Set the permissions on the "MSContentEditor" webpart to have the user have full control of the web part.
- set the permissions on ALL the web parts to have the user have full control (permissions on the web parts list)
- Edited web.config to add a line to mark "contentEditorWebPart" as safe, and then restarted IIS.
- Recreated test lists and was able to duplicate the behaviour
So I am wondering, is this a sharepoint bug or what? Should a web part not inherit the permissions of the list it is working in? if not, what are the exact items i need to set permissions on to get this webpart to display correctly?
Setting global site permissions is not an option.
Another workaround is to make a "wiki page library" which allows you to copy and paste text into a static page, and also edit that text. I can move all the content over to a "wiki page library", and thats what i probably will end up doing
in the end, but its annoying because there is alot of content to move, and it all has to be done by hand as you cannot upload documents to a wiki afaik. Also the wiki uses a different editor, its inline instead of a popup in IE which is probably why it is
working.
This may not be a bug and could be a simple permissions problem or something else, but i have been looking at this for hours and it doesnt make any sense to me.
Any help appreciated thanks!

Hi,
Yes, you must have “Add and Customize Pages” permission
from site level to perform this action, the permission is not in list permission level.
You can add a new permission level which only includes “Add and Customize Pages” permission, and then create new SharePoint group with this permission
level.
Add the users into the SharePoint group and these users will get the “Add and Customize Pages” permission
from site level.(site permissions)
Additionally to add/edit page, the users also need the permission level “Contributor” in list permission level.
(you should know when you grant the full control to the users in list permission level, the users won’t get the permission from site level)
If you need further help, please let me know.
Hope this helps
Thanks!

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,

Hi,
Master Pages:
Does not included in the content area
Master page we will design logo,company address and header information
Here we can desing footer information
whatever you desing in the master page it will show for all the body pages
Body pages:
Included in the content area
Where we can design table data, it should repeat for line times.

What is the difference between personnel development and performance management

Hi,
What is the difference between personnel development and performance management in terms of configuration and in portal level .
Thanks
Srikant

HI Srikant,
Personnel development is PD module where u can configure the qualification catalog with the proficiency which can be attached to the position or job as a requirement and the same can be attached to the person as a qualification and then you can do the profile matchup and find any qualification deficit and can propose any trraining required to impart the qualification.And also you can do succession planing, career planing and also development plan.
Performance management is an appraisal cycle in a company . All appraisal process between manager and the employee will be taken care via portal with the appraisal template.(form)
hope this will help you.

SWF move 1 pixel on the right in Firefox when loaded in the xhtml page

Hello,
I have a background image in a level in my swf wich have to be aligned to the background image in the xhtml page where the swf is loaded.
I noticed that in Firefox (Since few time not always) when the swf is loaded, it seem that the image move 1 pixel on the right and the alignement of the background image is ruined!
This thoesnt happen with other browsers like Explorer, Opera, Safari.
I post the difference beetween the firefox and other browsers:
I suppose is not a CSS matter but in the SWF player becouse since some time ago it worked good in Firefox too and i didnt modify anything in the code!
Best regards,
Massimo

Does that happen with every image or only on specific websites?
If only on specific websites then please post a link then we can check it.

Difference between jsp:include and %@ include

what is the difference between <jsp:include> and <%@ include %>? which has better performance? When to use which? suppose i have a menu that should be included in every page, which should I use?
Thank you
Cal

<%-- some date this page was last updated with that particular version of JSP file --%>
<% include file="relative URL" %>
You use the include directive, as indicated, to include a file in the main JSP file at the time the file is translated into a servlet. This is done at translation time and therefore if the included JSP file changes, all the JSP files that use this included file will need tobe updated. If you use this include statement then i would suggest that you add a date descriptor of the last time it was modifed so that you can go back and tell if you have updated a particular JSP file or not.
<jsp:include page="relative url" flush = "true" />
When you use the JSP descriptor like this, you are getting the requested JSP file at REQUEST time and therefore you do not hae to worry about updating the calling JSP page.
Hope this helps

Difference between Session method and call transaction

Hi,
please give me the differences between session method and call transaction,
briefly explaining synchronus , asynchronus, process, update.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay Kumar
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
Among the two methods call transaction is better compared to session bcoz data transfer is faster in it.
Differences between call transaction and session.
Session Method:
1) Data is not updated in the database table until the session is processed.
2) No sy-subrc is returned.
3) Error log is created for error records.
4) Updation is always synchronous.
Call Transaction Method:
1) Immediate updation in the database table.
2) sy-subrc is returned.
3)Error need to be handled explicitly.
4) updation can be synchronous as well as asynchronous.
2) ya u can use using the N mode no screen.
3)u can't handle multiple transaction in call transaction.
4) u can handle multiple transaction in session using the BDC_INSERT fm.
5)When u go to SM35 u can able to see the error records.
Which is best?
That depends on your requirement. Both of them have there advantages.
According to the situation u can choose any one of these.
difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
For session method,these are the function modules to b used.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
BDC_INSERT
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
For call transaction,this is the syntax.
CALL TRANSACTION TCODE USING BDCDATA
MODE A or E or N
UPDATE A or S
MESSAGES INTO MESSTAB.
Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)
In the BDC call transaction method
We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.
Eg: Loop at itab.
call transaction FB01
capture errors
endloop.
In the session method.
We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself
Check these link:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/question-about-bdc-program.htm
http://www.itcserver.com/blog/2006/06/30/batch-input-vs-call-transaction/
http://www.planetsap.com/bdc_main_page.htm
Batch Input Session method is asynchronous as told by others here. But the advantage of this is that you have all the error messages and the data for each transaction held persistantly. You don't have to code anything for processing them or writing the logs.
But at the same time, the same feature can be disadvantageous if you need to react to an error or if there are too many errors to manually correct in a session. Since the session are created in the program and its execution is done seperately, you loose the trackability of such transactions.
With a call transaction, what was a disadvantage above will become an advantage. Call transaction immediately gives you messages back and you can react to it in your program. But the disadvantage is that, if you have several hundreds of transactions to run, running them from within the program can be resource crunching affair. It will hamper the system performance and you cannot really distribute the load. Of course, you have some mechanisms with which you can overcome this, but you will have to code for it. Also, storing the messages and storing the errored transaction data etc will have to be handled by you in the program. Whereas, in batch input session, your program's job is to just create the session, after that everything is standard SAP system's responsibility.
Ideally, you should do a call transaction if the resources are not a problem and if it fails, put the errored transaction into a session.
You can decide based on the data volume that your BDC is processing. If data volume is high go for session else call transaction will do.The call transaction updates will be instantaneous where as session needs to be processed explictly after creation.
Session Method
1) Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ...
bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
1) Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E>
update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.

Wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?

Hi guru,
wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?
Regards
Subash

About brief idea about unicode
In the past, SAP developers used various codes to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encodes each character using 1 byte = 8 bit. This makes it possible to represent a maximum of 28 = 256 characters to which the combinations 00000000, 11111111 are assigned. Common code pages are, for example, ISO88591 for West European or ISO88595 for Cyrillic fonts.
EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters. EBCDIC 0697/0500 is an old IBM format that is used on AS/400 machines for West European fonts, for example.
Double-byte code pages require 1 or 2 bytes for each character. This allows you to form 216 = 65536 combinations where usually only 10,000 - 15,000 characters are used. Double-byte code pages are, for example, SJIS for Japanese and BIG5 for traditional Chinese.
Using these character sets, you can account for each language relevant to the SAP System. However, problems occur if you want to merge texts from different incompatible character sets in a central system. Equally, exchanging data between systems with incompatible character sets can result in unprecedented situations.
One solution to this problem is to use a code comprising all characters used on earth. This code is called Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) and consists of at least 16 bit = 2 bytes, alternatively of 32 bit = 4 bytes per character. Although the conversion effort for the R/3 kernel and applications is considerable, the migration to Unicode provides great benefits in the long run:
The Internet and consequently also mySAP.com are entirely based on Unicode, which thus is a basic requirement for international competitiveness.
Unicode allows all R/3 users to install a central R/3 System that covers all business processes worldwide.
Companies using different distributed systems frequently want to aggregate their worldwide corporate data. Without Unicode, they would be able to do this only to a limited degree.
With Unicode, you can use multiple languages simultaneously at a single frontend computer.
Unicode is required for cross-application data exchange without loss of data due to incompatible character sets. One way to present documents in the World Wide Web (www) is XML, for example.
ABAP programs must be modified wherever an explicit or implicit assumption is made with regard to the internal length of a character. As a result, a new level of abstraction is reached which makes it possible to run one and the same program both in conventional and in Unicode systems. In addition, if new characters are added to the Unicode character set, SAP can decide whether to represent these characters internally using 2 or 4 bytes.
A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or an NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer
MyServices Professional is different from MyServices Consumer in the following ways:
There are Common Tasks links on the home page for Order on Behalf and for Authorizations (if the Authorization portlet is enabled in the user's profile).
Automatically grants the Order on Behalf permission for all people in the Home OU of the MyServices Professional user.
Adds the "Authorizations for Others" view on the Authorizations page. This view allows the MyServices Professional user to view -- but not perform -- all Authorizations for people in their Home OU.
See the attached file for more detail and screenshots of: MyServices Consumer with and without the Order on Behalf link displayed, and Requisition and Authorization list views; MyServices Professional Home page with and without the Authorizations portlet visible, and Requisition and Authorization list views.
Note: RequestCenter 2006 cannot be configured to automatically add users to MyServices Professional on creation of their user record via directory integration. This can be accomplished in RC2007, since roles can be imported from LDAP in that version.

Hi Koji,
One thing to consider is the number of different source types. BO supports SAP and all the relational DBs. There is also the fact that BO provides a single front end to different reporting type which makes the user experience much better. Finally, users ability to build there own reports, without a high level of traiining is one of the big selling points for BO.
Here is a good overview of the combination of the 2 , including some roadmap
