Differences between OIM Connectors using Adapter Factory and Generic Tech

Hi,
Can any one please tell me what is the difference between Oracle Identity Manager Connectors by using Adapter Factory and Generic Technology.
Regards,
Raghunath..

This issue is a bit complex but let me try to explain.
One way to look at it is to consider cars with automatic and manual gearboxes. A car with a manual gearbox requires more skills of the end user. You do need to understand how to use the clutch and what gear to use under what circumstances. In a car with an autoamtic gearbox all of these things are abstracted away from the user. On the other hand a automatic gearbox is more complex to manufacture, especially if you would do it yourself with just some machine tools and some basic materials available.
In the same way an adapter factory connector requires a bit more skill to install and configure. A generic tech one is a lot more point and click. The downside is that creating the generic tech takes a little bit more effort and skill.
Excellent article by Nishant on this : http://blog.talkingidentity.com/2007/06/understanding_oims_generic_tec.html
Hope this helps

What is the difference between Outlook features using exchage server and using 3rd party mail server ?

Hi~ I'd like to know what the difference is between Outlook features using exchage server and using 3rd party mail server.
If I use 3rd party mail server with Outlook, Outlook features are the same as Exchange Server ?
I want to use all Outlook features..

The basic features (and many advanced features) are identical in all accounts. With pop3, your mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes are stored in a pst and are only on the computer. IMAP accounts only sync email back to the server, not calendar,
contacts, and tasks. Outlook.com EAS accounts (aka Hotmail) syncs calendar and contacts back to the server. Exchange mailboxes stores everything on the server - mail, calendar, contacts, custom views, rules - and if you open the mailbox in outlook on
any other computer, the mailbox is identical. Because everything is on the server, you'll have much better syncing with smartphones and tablets with Exchange mailboxes.
Calendar sharing, open other users folder, and retention policies are Exchange-only. Mail Tips and apps (linked under the reading pane header in Outlook 2013) are Exchange-only.

Difference between lync mobility using 3g/4g and wifi

Dear all,
any one can clarify ,is there any difference on communication from lync client to server between 3g/4g and wifi.
because we are able to make call using wifi in mobile but using 3g/4g video/audio call not working on lync 2013

There shouldn't be much difference as long as the Lync client is able to reach the Av edge server
Run audio video test for Lync using https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com from the external or if possible from you 3g/4g network
Let ensure we have the latest Lync client
http://blogs.office.com/2013/10/10/updated-lync-mobile-for-windows-phone-and-ios/
Sharing and video call invitations fail on some mobile 4G networks
On some mobile 4G networks, you may not be able to send or receive video in meetings and video calls or to see shared content in meetings. When you’re in a call or meeting, a notification will be displayed that video or sharing is available, but clicking Accept will
result in a failure because the mobile network connection is temporarily lost.
Workaround No workaround is available at this time.

Hi,
Is there any difference between alv display using Resuable FM and ALV display using classes except the later one uses OO concept.??
One mere thing i want to clarify is that is there any difference exist between REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY? If so, then let me know.
It could be easier to understand me if yuo give scenario where these FM comes into picture
Regards,
Parag

Hi,
(1) REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
Display an ALV list as per parameters defined in the function call
(2) REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
Display an ALV grid as per parameters defined in the function call
(3) REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
List header information is output according to its type. The output information is put in an internal table. Output attributes are assigned to each line via the TYP field.This module outputs formatted simple header information at TOP-OF-PAGE.
(4) REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
This module outputs two internal tables as a formated hierarchical-sequential list.
(5) REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4

Difference between Testing Message in Integarion Engine and Adapter Engine

Hi Experts,
in project, we always test message in runtime workbench>component monitoring>integration engine-->Test Messge
however, i also find that in runtime workbench>component monitoring>adapter engine also exists a Test Message tab.
we don't have access to test messages in this tab, so can anyone tell that what is the difference between testing message in integration engine and adapter engine?
thanks in advance.

The usual flow of messages in scenarios which use adapters at both sender and receiver end is as follows
Sender system -> Adapter Engine -> Integration Engine -> Adapter Engine -> Receiver system
When you use the testing option in IE, then you are basically posting the message directly to the Integration Engine.
When you use the testing option in AE, then you are trying to post the message to the adapter engine, which will then forward the message to the Integration Engine. IN this testing, you are also testing the sender adapter also.

Get OIM Date format using Adapter Factory

I have written below java snippet to convert date to oim date format.
public String getOIMDate() {
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss z");
Date date = new Date();
return dateFormat.format(date);
}The above code will return current date as string which is used to update user in OIM.
I need to use Adapter Factory to return current OIM date in string format.
Can you help me in building the adapter with the way i mentioned above?

just build jar for same and place this to <OIM_HOME>/server/JavaTask folder or upload in db using UploadJars.sh script.
Then follow below steps to create Adapter task(Hope you are looking for Pre-populate adapter)

What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

Hello!!
What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
I found two things as follows.
1. MAC support
2. USB dongle
Is there anything else?

Now I’m clear!!
But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
They say for each as follows.
HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
The wrong description is “NOTE: You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
You can erase this line!!

OIM - Beyond the Adapter Factory

Hi all,
I have now outgrown the capabilities of the Adapter Factory and need to find out how to directly code my adapter functions - in this case for a GTC connector.
I have not been able to find the guidelines for this in the standard product documentation and so wonder where this information and knowledge can be gained?
Many thanks,
Bernie

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]
2/
PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

Hi!
I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
Thanks and best regards!
Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

Hi,
Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor' or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account'
Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

Dear Adobe Support Team,
I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
Kind Regards,
Vikraman.G

Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

Hello,
Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Anil

HI
try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..
