EBS Inventory - 12.1.3 - New feature in RCD = 3.1.2.2. Extensibility Enhancements / API to manipulate records allocations

Hi,
In eBusiness Suite RCD 12.1, Inventory
3.1.2.2. Extensibility Enhancements
Users often require the ability to programmatically alter the details of an allocation record in Oracle Inventory. This may include manipulating the transaction based on logic derived from a third party materials management application or a custom user interface used to drive picking. To better support these requirements, Oracle Inventory now offers a public API to manipulate records allocations prior to committing a pick confirm transaction.
I have not found anything about this new public API.
Have anyone seen anything about it?
Any detail would be appreciated.
thanks
stephane

Hi,
The Order Management and TeleSales users are setup as per below.
2.1 Create employee
2.2 Create User and assign responsibilities
2.3 Import employee as resource
2.4 Assign group and group roles to resources
2.5 Assign user-level profile options
Options I could think of:
- You may use the 'Dataloader' application along with the 'FNDLOAD' utility to automate your process.
- Use API to create Users,assign responsibility and etc ( The API is FND_USER_PKG ), you may use these package using scripting to automate.
See thread:
Re: How can i create bulk users with system Administrator responsibility in EBS
EBS Users Info from Backend.
Re: Create New User In Oracle ERP R12.
Please also refer early forum discussions:

Hope this helps!
Thanks &

11.5.10 new features !

Hi,
I have one simple question: WHY to upgrade?
We have upgraded our eBS from 11.5.8 to 11.5.9 ...
and we have met "too many" problems !
Which are new features in 11.5.10 that are able to convince us for new upgrade ?
I would want a sincere answer with 3 ( max 5 ) best "new features" !
Thank you very much at all !
Mauro

11.5.9 Is full of bugs, even after the update it gave us a lot of problems. 11.5.10 is a lot more stable, easier to install and seems to run well.
It's difficult to give you a list of all the changes because there are alot but what area or modules are you interested in?

New REACh Release - new features and ramp up

Hi, when is the next release of REACh available and what are the new features? When does ramp up begin?

Michael,
thanks for rising this questions here since this thread/forum is a good way to discuss product requirements in a broader community so that we can consider meanings/ideas from a broader group of stakeholders. And i think that your points require a broader discussion in order to find the right answer at the end. Let me therefore comment as follows on your remarks hoping that others will join this discussion:
1. Legal entitiy specific uses: It is clear that uses might be different across legal entities and registrations of each legal entities might refer to different uses. Nevertheless the idea of SAP REACH Compliance is to collect uses centrally and to let the registrant decide to pick up those uses for the registration which seems to be relevant for the Legal entitiy he or she is responsible for. The REACH coverage check we provide in our solution refers to coverage of endpoints - not to coverage of uses which is at the end as said a decision made by the registrant based on a complete inventory of known uses. Therefore we didn´t saw the need to maintain the relationship of use and legal entity in SAP REACH Compliance so far but before considering this for the product roadmap I would like to get opinions from other companies as well since this would be a major investment/enhancement of the solution. So anyone else reading this poste pleas feel free to comment here - highly appreciated.
2. Exposure scenarios in SAP REACH Compliance: First of all it is important to understand what SAP REACH Compliance is and what is not. The main objectiv of our solution is to fill white gaps and giving support to areas which are not covered by other applications whether they come from ECHA (like IUCLID5) or from industry organizations like CEFIC (REACHsief). To make it more concrete: IUCLID5 was designed for the authorities to receive technical registration dossier to ease correctness check and dossier evaluation. But IUCLID5 does not give management support to those who has to gather data and ellaborate dossiers. That is what SAP´s solution does complementary to IUCLID5. The same shall apply for Exposure scenarios, Chemical Saftey Assessessments and Chemical Safety Reports. ECHA has announced to provide a CSA/CSR tool - so it makes no sense to to this in SAP but to use our application complimentary to that compared to IUCLID5. And Exporsure scenarios? The issue here is that not all guidance documents are released or even published or finalized. So we would shoot here on a moving target which makes no sense. But beside of that there are already scientific tools in place (like ECETOC TRA) that are specialized in calculation of exposures (scenarios) independent of REACH and in most cases already used in tox departments and which compliments therefore our solution as well. Is it really useful that a business software company provides scientific tools like that or isn´t it better to build our solution complimentary to those? Consequence: REACh guidance documents propose mass communication on use descritpor model with many customers and suppliers. This is what we provide in our solution based on beneficial integration into SAP ERP with all its business partner contact data and sales and purchasing related information like purchase info records. But mass mailings based on "descriptor models for exposure scenario" are unlikely to happen and most likely not to be manageable. With regards to ES I see more a case to case communication for unusual uses or with key customers only which is more document driven than structured like the use descriptor model. And that is what you can do with SAP REACH Compliance - assigning documents describing an ES to uses and sending this to business partners. Remains the question whether it is useful at all to maintain ES in SAP (except from assigning document based ES to uses). The point is that ES are work center specific but not susbtance specific. So it might make sense to maintain ES in SAP EH&S component for industry health & safety (IHS) in order to become aware of own Exposure scenarios. But at the end you will define ES that are as much as possible generic covering as many uses as possible and providing this via a document asking for approval by your business partners. And run calculations and risk assessemtns a said in scientific tools from niche vendors specialising in toxicological applications.
Gladly feedback / comments from the community whether this is a correct perception.

IBP 4.0 FP1 Patch 2 - Need more info on new features in Supply Planning

Hi All,
I was reading the SAP help and some of the new features are not very clear to me, if you have clarity around it please read and help me to get more clarity.
As per SAP Help,The following features are now available in IBP for supply:
Separate lead time units of measure can be defined for use in multiple planning areas depending on different time granularities.
My Query - Where do we define it? I do not see any additional attribute in the MDT where lead time is present but don't see any attribute to define lead time units or any other different settings in the planning area so how can we define this?
Static periods of supply are taken into account as input for the inventory target, with projected periods of coverage provided as output.
My Query - What exactly has changed and which are the new key figures here to support this? I could not understand this from reading the above text.
Independent demand is taken into account as input at the product location, in addition to the distribution demand from other nodes and customer demand.
The optimizer algorithm supports the Non-Delivery Cost Rate key figure as input for the independent demand at the product location.
My Query - A new key figure "INDEPENDENTDEMAND" is available now @PERPRODLOC so first point is very clear but second point is very confusing to me as "Non delivery cost rate" is only defined @PERPRODCUST so how we will define the non delivery cost rate for independent demand which is at different planning level and if we are not able to define it how optimizer algorithm will support it? Ideally it needs to be at same level like consensus demand and Non delivery cost rate both @PERPRODCUST Level.
Thanks
Girish

Hi Mark,
While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.

Is the new feature of material status definition is supported in ASCP r12

Hi all
I am facing new requirement from Customer which is on R12.
They have a warehouse which by definition is non Nettable. This warehouse manage by locators.
Customer requirement is that group of locators in the warehouse will be nettable despite that the warehouse it self set as non nettable.
They can't set those locators in different nettable warehouse.
My question is releated to the new feature of material status definition on R12 as a nominate for solution for this issue.
As I saw I can set material status as nettable and assigned it to the locator.
I haven't test it yet and I will appreciate your best practices /knowledge feedback If this feature supported in ASCP
Thank in Advance

Hi,
First of all, Warehouses cannot be nettable/non-nettable. I assume when you say warehouse you are referring to Sub-Inventory. You can only have a nettable/non-nettable sub-inventory.
The precise answer to your query on material status is NO.
As of now ASCP does not have the capability to plan based on the material statuses defined in source.
ASCP do not collect the Material Status related information.
You may refer to the following ER:
Bug 17014198 : DATA COLLECTIONS NOT COLLECTING SUPPLIES FROM NON-NETTABLE SUBINVENTORY
Hope that helps!!

Mohan Balaji
NOTE: Please mark the post as Helpful or Answered if the update has really helped you. This would also bring the thread to logical conclusion and will be helpful for the viewers.

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.
Thanks

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

Thanks RealDave.
I'm still reading through the manual as well...and so far I do not see any mention of an improvement of the SRC (sample rate conversion), which was an issue.
I hope they have re-done that code in this update. I will probably email Apple, although, they never answer...so...

A Success Story & First Impressions of New Features

Like many of you I was plagued with some of the serious problems with updating my Domain file: disappearing photos, missing blog comments, missing link bars at the top of the page etc. I tried the various tip and tricks sugested here with no luck. When the 2.01 update to iWeb appeared last Friday I downloaded it but I held off using it. I had already lost about 6 hours out of my life playing around with iWeb 2.0 with nothing to show for it. After reading many posts saying it didn't help I was going to hold off.
Don't ask me why, but I changed my mind. Monday I started working on my site. Creating 10 album pages to replace my homegrown versions, adding some navigation aids, relinking etc. I also moved the photo I wanted to show as the album preview to the first position on each photo page. All in all I spent about 8 hours working on the site. I would save every 10 minutes or so and duplicate the domain file and keep several generations of these around. There were no missing photos, crashes or hiccups of any kind.
This morning I uploaded the site. The first thing I noticed is this version of iWeb seems to be faster creating the files to be uploaded. Much faster. I'm not sure if this is an improvement to the code or a result of the smaller domain files created in iWeb 2. Instead of 15 minutes or so it took 5. The first upload of the files to .mac took just as long as ever, nearly 45 minutes on a high speed cable modem connection. As the upload was completing the first hiccup occured-the upload failed with a message saying there was an error creating a file. I was not optomistic at this point. I figured I was having the upload problem others have reported. All my page icons were back to red and I figured it was back to square 1. At least all the content was still in the Domain file.
When I hit the upload button the second time it took the same 5 minutes to create the files, but the upload to 30 seconds. It evidently just repaced the file that had the problem. I have since made edits to my site several times and iWeb seems to be much faster uploading the pages. I get the impression it doesn't reupload the whole page content but merely uploads the changed portion. I added a text box to 30 pages and the changes uploaded to .mac in about a minute. I am very pleased with this increase in speed.
As for the site itself I love the new features. I love the picture gallery where clicking on a picture opens up a larger copy and gives you thumbs of the other pages. I tried my site in 3 different Mac browsers with no issues and also the latest IE for Windows running under Parallels 3. Unlike what others have reported, my slideshows appear normal size on the PC. I like the new album pages and the automatic linking they provide. In iWeb itself I like being able to collapse the album folder to reduce the clutter in the navigation sidebar. I like the fact you can create a blank page now. You don't have to strip another page type to get a blank page. The skimming effect on album pages works equally well on the Mac or PC side. One interesting thing I have noticed is the picture captions are in a different font on the PC side. I use the Freestyle template for my site and the picture captions are in a handwritten style font (Handwritten-Dakota). In the past these would be converted to .png image files so they would display correctly on the PC. In this version the fonts are rendered in a serif font that looks like times. I imagine this may make the page load faster but I'm not surre if I like this feature or not. The page does look drastically different.
Speaking of dislikes there are a couple. I wish iWeb would ask you before it goes and downsamples your photos while converting to the 2.0 format. I don't like the idea that if you want to use the high quality hi res versions you have to reinsert and recaption them. Like many others I would like to be able to turn off the download button when viewing the photo galleries.
While I think Apple deserve a spanking for the initial release of iWeb 2.0, now that the patch seems to be working for me I feel it is a worthy upgrade. I am 90 percent happy with the new features and I think the other 10 percent can be tweaked by Apple in response to user feedback. If you'd care to stop by and visit my site here is the address:
http://web.mac.com/jmahoney
I hope those of you still having trouble will get your sites up and runing soon. If you held off on the 2.01 upgrade, you might want to give it a shot (after backing up your Domain file). I was pleasantly surprised.
Jim Mahoney

Thanks for your account and experience with the new iWeb.
Nice site now, although vegetarians better skip it
I personally got rather hungry viewing it. And it is only 13.30 here.

What is the significance of the new feature in discussion forum as Kudos and other things recently started?

Hi,
I just want to know about the significance of new features started in Forums as KUDOS.
What to do with this and how it help someone in getting solution for his query.

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.
