Hi all,
could someone please advise me about the differences between configuring the Oracle client to resolve DB with LDAP vs tnsnames.ora and EZconnect?
Is there any other?

Difference between Portal Transport and Basis Transport

Hi Experts,
I have few questions .
1. What's the difference between transport in portal and transport in Basis.
2 . In user admin , we create users and assign them roles. Even Basis people will create
new userids and assign them roles. Whats the difference between these two.
3. In useradmin whats the difference between assigned roles and assigned groups.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I don't see any differnece in portal and basis transport
Content transport generally done from one landscape to other landscape. say from dev to test system
or test to production system.
we create user id using user admin role in portal ume or we can get users externally by using LDAP funtionality.
Using user admin role we can assingn users to rolese and groups.
Groups are used for a group of users. IF certain users have similar authorizations in portal then we group them in single user group and then assing this group to the roles. This is called authorization.
Role is used to display the portal content to the users and is the top level navigation in portal.
If I miss anything at basis level then someone can help you.

Difference between Mac Pro and Mac XServer

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any difference between Mac Pro and the Mac XServer - at the OS level? Meaning, if I design an application on Mac Pro would it run seamlessly on XServer or do I need to care about a few things.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are presently at the Tiger 10.4.10 release, with Mac OS X Server having various added pieces and features, and having a few structural and configuration differences.
* Do both of them support the ipv6 protocol
Yes; both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server both offer IPv6.
* do both of them support LDAP and PAM based authentication
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server have LDAP support, yes. Mac OS X Server has LDAP authentication, DNS and a variety of other servers built in. Mac OS X is configured as a client, though there is the Apache web server.
Haven't looked for PAM for either platform.
* Do both of them support the same level of Java ( I understand we need 1.5 or higher for Tiger / Leapord)
Java itself is the same on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, though Mac OS X Server has server-oriented pieces of Java present. And it's still write once, debug everywhere.
No Leopard questions are permissible here at this time; Leopard details are NDA.
* Do the compilers (gcc) have different compilation options - maybe xServer uses some better optimized flags that handle large volumes of data and network traffic.
AFAIK, there are no differences in gcc defaults. Nor would I expect any. Handling volumes of data is left to the programmer. (I'm not even sure how a compiler author would even implement that sort of difference.)
* Is there any difference in the behavior of the way the libraries ...
I'd expect the exact same behavior the programmer requested would occur with both platforms.
Now as for what I expect is the root of your question, yes, you'll likely want to test your application on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server software platforms. There can exist very hard to predict details such as cases where dual NICs or the aforementioned directory differences that have tossed a few applications off the rails and into the weeds; have caused applications to fail.
You can choose to install Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro. Probably the 10-client, because you probably aren't planning to serve piles of clients from the Mac Pro.
An overview of Mac OS X Server is here:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
Now as to whether or not I would expect run-time differences, no. But I've been at this way too long and have chased way to many weird bugs to make any promises here.

Difference between Scan Listener and Node listener

Hi,
I read the concept of SCAN in 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure. In that i come accross the below statements
" 3 SCAN IP's and 3 SCAN Listeners will be up in the Cluster even if onlu ONE NODE IS UP with Clusterware active. This is BECAUSE SCAN listeners are not like NODE LISTENERS; they simply reroute connections so they do not need an instance to be available beneath them to make a database connections".
Could some one please explan me the difference between Scan Listener and Node listener?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stephen

The SCAN listener is the new feature in 11g. RAC in 9i and 10g had only node listeners. In earlier releases, the clients had to know each of the node listeners and define load balancing / failover between the node listener.
Each node in the RAC cluster has a TNS Listener listening on the VIP.
The SCAN is a single cluster-wide listener (although actually running as three separate processes, one on each node).. The client now needs to know only the SCAN listener. It does not need information of the node listeners to be maintained in the client-side tnsnames.ora file. SCAN allows for automatic load balancing as the client is directed to the nodes that are "up and able to take new connections" only. Also, as new nodes are added to the cluster, SCAN keeps track of them, the client tnsnames.ora does not need to be updated for new nodes.

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

Export differences between GUI ALV and Portal

Hi,
Have a customer that is able to export reports to Excel using the 'Local File -> Spreadsheet Option'. When this is used in the GUI, the report exports as expected, all columns from the ALV view in the correct columns in excel.
If I run the same report through the customer portal, exporting the data in the same way, when I open the file in excel, each ALV column is combined into 1 column in excel.
Questions:
- Are there any differences between the GUI and Portal when using the exporting functions?
- Would this output be determined by Excel and not the SAP export?
Any assistance or guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks

"319071" and Doug:
The products have different purposes. Portal provides content aggregation, application integration and personalization. Together with the Oracle Application Server infrastructure you also get identity management capabilities such as a centralized LDAP-based user directory and Single Sign-On. HTML DB is a tool for rapid development of database centric web applications. Nothing more, nothing less. Portal allows you to bring together applications built using a variety of technologies. HTML DB is just one of those technologies that happens to be optimized for web development on an Oracle database.
Once you have built your application with HTML DB, you may choose to place a link to it on a portal page. You may even choose to make authentication seamless by making the HTML DB application a Single Sign-On partner application (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). Or, you may want to display some data from a report developed in HTML DB inside a portlet (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/omniportlet_index.html)
Granted, Portal does have database centric development capabilities (what used to be called WebDB), but they are not nearly as flexible as HTML DB's. HTML DB lets you control page flow while maintaining session state, has quite sophisticated report building capabilities such as column based sorting and pagination, form building capabilities such as declarative field level data validations, built in field level help, etc.

What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

SAP Seniors,
Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
Thank you
Anitha.

HI,
Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
SY-TABIX
Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
SY-INDEX
In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Pavan.

What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

hi nagaraju
sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
id Name
198 XYZ
475 ABC
545 PQR.
loop at itab where id > 300.
write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
endloop.
My output will be :
475 ABC 2 1
545 PQR 3 2
Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,

"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

The difference between an iphone and an ipod touch?

i want to know if the difference between an iphone and an ipod touch is just that the iphone is like a phone that has internet and is a phone. or what else is it?

The iPhone includes the same as an iPod Touch but also includes a phone, a camera, and a GPS radio.
In addition to having internet access via wi-fi, the iPhone also has internet access via the cellular network, so as long as you have cellular reception with the iPhone, you have access to the internet in addition to having access via an available wi-fi network.

The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

hi,
what is the difference between system restore and last good known configuration.
in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
very short answer wil be enough.
thanks
johan
h.david

Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.
