Few basic beginner questions..!!

Hi there.,
   am a begginer in BI.,I would like to know few doubts in BI and BW.,
1. What shall be done when once i install BI content? where
    does the contents get installed?., how do i access them
    in modelling tab.
2. How do i match replicated datasources with the BI content.
3. How do i delete a particular field in datasources when
    there's a problem in that specific field say MATNR.,
    material number is a field which after replication generates
    errors while loading in the infocube.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome To SDN.
1) When you install BI contents they get installed at Modeling itself.
You can find the installed contents in RSA1 itself.
just try Installing an InfoObject and you will find it there in InfoObjects list.
2) Why do you need to match Replicated datasource with any BI content.
BI contents are standard templets and if the given content does not match your requirements you go for custom built objects.
3) For this you need to do change s in datasource in source system.

Few basic SRM questions .......

I recently completed the SRM training from SAP and I have few basic questions and need help. Full points will be rewarded.
These are my questions and it is based on SRM 5.0 Classic Scenario with R/3 backend
1. Invoice & confirmation transferred to R/3 via ALE ? . All other documents are transferred to R/3 via RFC?
2. Based on the configuration, if the material is available in the backend then reservation will be created. Other wise PO will be created. For text items, PR will be created.
     a. Who (purchaser) will process the PR in R/3 and how it is processed?.
     b. Who (purchaser?) will process the reservation in R/3 and how it is
         processed?. Assume no sourcing is setup in this case and No MRP run.
3. How the vendor is linked to the Material or product category in SRM?. During the vendor replication from R/3, vendor and material/prod category link is automatically maintained?
4. How the vendor is linked to a specific purchasing org/group? Is it based on the prod category assigned in the org structure for each purchasing org or purchasing group?
5. How to do delta prod category replication?
6. How to do Delta Material Replication?.
7. Contracts and vendor list:-
    In our SAP training we created these from the browser. But in the actual
    implementation how do we create this?. Is it always from the browser?
8. Direct Material and Plan driven Procurement.
   Can we use catalog items as direct material?. Just for example - > What
   about Car Batteries that is directly used in production and has the inventory
   also. But we are using electronic catalog for procuring this item. Is it possible to
   order this as direct material?
9. How to replicate Plant. How to use DNL_PLNT?. Is BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL will replicate all the PLANT's and its locations from the R/3 backend?
10. In the HR system, which transaction we can view the org structure?

You can use the following three routines to download locations from the backend system and store them as business partners in SAP Enterprise Buyer.
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL
To get all the location numbers from each backend system that is connected
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM
To get all the location numbers from one particular backend system
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED
To get selected locations
Previously, locations were not given business partner numbers in SAP Enterprise Buyer. If you are configuring an upgrade, you can use routines BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM and BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED to check that the following conversions have been made:
·        Conversion of user favorites
·        Conversion of user attributes
·        Conversion of old documents
Routine BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL checks these automatically.
Once you have run the routines, the location data is available in the SAP Enterprise Buyer system. Table BBP_LOCMAP contains the mapping information (in other words, which business partner number corresponds to which location in which backend system).
For more information, see SAP Note 563180 Locations for EBP 4.0 plant replication

A few basic string Questions

I would like to know how to make a string with the same characters as another string. Also, how can I set an int with the same value as there are characters in a string. It would really help if you gave me an example, because I am new to java and pretty much lost.

That page has alot of information, but I really don't
know how to use any of it. It would be really helpful
is some one gave me an example. I see something like
"int length ( )", but I don't know how to use it.You don't know how to call a method? Then you need to start from the very beginning:

A few basic iDVD questions...

First, when I create a dvd - and burn it - does it leave video_ts folders anywhere? Or is that only when I create it as a "disc image"? The last burning software I had did both...so I want to make sure this isn't going on my hard drive somewhere where i'll never find it and will take up room...
Second, For the first few times I tried burning with a DVD-RW I would get errors after the burn saying that some errors occured - so I would play the dvd anyway and a little bit of the last movie that was on it still remains - yet if I use a regular DVD-R, it's fine - no problem. Is this a common problem with iDVD? I'm trying it again now - I erased the DVD-RW with Disc Utility so hopefully that was more effective than iDVD's erasing process...it was a Memorex DVD-RW just incase that matters - I know they aren't the best quality.
Third - if after the burn process I want to make another copy - does it have to go through the whole encoding process again? I know it doesn't if I hit "burn" again right afterwards, but I mean if I close out the program completely, and go back in - it's not saved anywhere? Like a video-ts folder where I can get it from and burn it from that?
Thanks!

The encoded media is saved temporarily and then discarded as it can be 4+ GB for one DVD. If you make a disk image there is on the image ( as for a DVD proper) a VIDEO_TS folder.
If you make multiple DVD's at one session it uses the already encoded media for each copy, so no it does not re-encode for 5-8 hours each time.
However since iDVD can be fussy at times, always do the disk image thing first - then burn one or more copies from it -sometimes (often) separating the encode task form the burn task makes the bits and bytes happier.
If you do one right to DVD, you do know that you can just copy it anyway to make more, either directly or by making an image of the DVD and then burning from that image, right?
Up to you.
As for RW they can work if the burner works, but do it from an image file first. Also some home DVD players, older ones are not thrilled with RW media due to different reflectivity and it might not play. With -/+R about 20 cents each lately why bother? Spend an extra few pennies and use Verbatim NOT Memorex. Never.

A Few Basic Battery Questions

Okay. I'm kinda new to laptops and completely new to Macs. I know you're not supposed to leave your laptop plugged in all the time. But, will plugging it in for a few minutes then unplugging it again to transport it hurt the battery?
And what is health? Mine keeps going back and forth from 100% to 97%... once health is lost can it no longer be regained?
I already have everything set to the highest possible energy savings. Lowest brightness, screen sleeps after 60 seconds untouched, bluetooth off, and I only really run one program at a time. Any other infomation that I should have?

Hi Brandon: One of the regular posters here has a great deal of links collected for proper battery use. Go to the link below and follow the information from "First Magus"

Few basic FCE4 questions

Ok, so I just got my new MacBook Pro today and a copy of FCE4 and am ready to dive into it. However I have a couple questions. I am filming with a sony HDR-SR8 and haven't even figured out how to get the clips into FCE. When using iMovie it prompts you and makes it so easy. Considering how new I am to video editing it probably would be smart for me to start off with iMovie, but I figure I can learn FCE as I go. I am very experienced with PS so FCE shouldn't be anything I shouldn't be able to grasp. What am I missing here? Thanks!

Awesome, that was what I was looking for! Thanks, I am recording all my footage on the maximum quality setting (HDXP). When I did the easy setup I set it to HD : Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. The 1080i60 was the NTSC one so I am guessing that is the one I need. Is this how I should have it? Will this give me the best quality? Thanks!

Few Basic Monitoring question in Weblogic

Guys,
1)How do we certify that weblolgic component Or app or jvm is healthy ?
2)What do we certify (on day to day activity)?
3) do we have any tools to use on a daily basis ?
I know these are some basic things though, but I would really like to know.
Regards,
Kris

Hi Kris,
This link gives a good overview of monitoring aspects of weblogic server - http://wikiconsole.com/wiki/?p=1440 . This should answer #1 & #2
For #3, depending on the type of JDK version version you can use JRockit Mission Controller (if you use jrockit) and Java visual VM (for Sun JDK) (with JMX)
If this is to be done on a large scale at an enterprise level, there are a number of other tools like site scope to do such kinds of monitoring ( http://altentee.com/blogs/2008/monitoring-weblogic-using-jmx-in-sitescope/)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Patrick

Operating system (basic beginner question)?

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner. I am using Windows vista and can't really afford a software upgrade at this time. It looks like Creative cloud is not available on this system or CS6 either. Are their older versions of Adobe Photoshop that are still available for download or do I just have to upgrade to windows 7/8 ?
Thanks for any help in advance
Colm

Hi Colm
You can find older versions on-line but they are not updated and supported by Adobe. Prices have tended to increase as these products become scarcer; now Adobe has moved to subscriptions. It probably wouldn’t be a good investment for you.
Until you can afford a new computer why not give Photoshop Elements a try. Something like version 11 should work happily on Vista. It has most of the same tools as full Photoshop and some unique ones not available in the big brother.
You can find a 30 day free trial at the link below. If you then find a copy to buy; you can validate the trial without any further installation being necessary and it becomes permanent.

Few basic questions on deployment

Hi Experts,
I have never worked on deployment. Hence have some few basic/conceptual questions.
1. Can I run just deployment (heuristics/optimiser) without running SNP planning?
2. Does deployment run change/modify the SNP orders created? If yes, then what are the paramenters that deployment run changes (order date, qty, from/to location etc)? Does deployment run create new/fresh orders also?
3. What is the difference between deployment heuristics run and deployment optimiser run?
4. What is the disadvantage to have just SNP planning run and dont have deployment runs?
Regards
Manotosh

Hi Manotosh,
Please find my responses below
1. Can I run just deployment (heuristics/optimiser) without running SNP planning?
Any distribution demand based deployment (pull dep /push strategies that deploy based on demand) needs a demand propagation run like heuristic or a planning run like optimizer. If you are using Push strategies that do not consider demands like (push by quota) you do not need a preceding heuristic run. Deployment optimizer does not need a heuristic run. Real time deployment does not need a heuristic run.
2. Does deployment run change/modify the SNP orders created? If yes, then what are the paramenters that deployment run changes (order date, qty, from/to location etc)? Does deployment run create new/fresh orders also?
There are 3 modes available in deployment (/sapapo/SNP02)
DO NOT CHANGE mode - This is just simulation of deployment results. orders are not created.
REDUCE mode - Heuristic orders are reduced to the extent of orders confirmed by deployment. Unconfirmed heuristic orders are not deleted.
DELETE mode - Unconfirmed heuristic orders are deleted.
Deployment heuristic only confirms heuristic orders ( some exceptions are push deployment wuth push by quots strategy as explianed above). Real time deployment /Deployment optimizer can create fresh orders.
3. What is the difference between deployment heuristics run and deployment optimiser run?
Deployment optimizer works based on costs and tries to generate the cost optimal solution for stock transfers.
It is similar to SNP optimizer but it does not created pur reqs or plnd orders only stock transfers. Dep optimizer does not require a preceding heuristic run.
Dep heuristic does not work based on costs bust based on the actual distribution demand propagated by heuristic and based on target stock reqmt & the pull /push /fairshare strategies...
4. What is the disadvantage to have just SNP planning run and dont have deployment runs?
SNP planning run (heuristic) is un constrained planning, the stock transfers are created to the extent of net requiremetns without considering the stock/capacity avaiablity at source, so it cannot be executed. A process like deployment is required to check how much of the heuristic orders can actually be executed considering executable receipts.
Optimizer does not require deployment as such because it considers available receipts (constrained planning). You can directly execute optimizer results. SOme scenarios you may need Deployment & optimizer runs together.
For example if you take weekly optimizer runs which create /stock transfers planned orders but you want to move stocks every day based on actually completed production. Then you can run deployment every day based on receipts actually available.

Ashok

A few basic questions....

Hi all,
Been a busy bee learning java in the past few weeks and I have a few basic (yet varied) questions....
When declaring Strings, what is the difference between: -
String myString1 = "This is a String";and
String myString2 = new String("This is also a String");When writing to a outputstream using a channel to a file, how do you write on a new line when appending? This code (which I think should write each string to a separate line each time it is run only seems to write to the same line.
public static void main(String[] args) {
        String phrase = new String("Garbage in, garbage out\n");
        String dirName = "C:/Beg Java Stuff";       // Directory name.
        String fileName = "byteData.txt";
        File aFile = new File(dirName, fileName);
        // Create the file output stream.
        FileOutputStream file = null;
        try {
            file = new FileOutputStream(aFile, true);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(System.err);
        // Create the channel to the file.
        FileChannel outChannel = file.getChannel();
        ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(phrase.length());
        byte[] bytes = phrase.getBytes();
        buf.put(bytes);
        buf.flip();
        try {
            outChannel.write(buf);      // Write the bytes to the channel.
            file.close();               // Close the output stream and the channel.
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(System.err);
    }On a related note, could someone please explain the concept of "flipping" the buffer?
Okay, the last (and most general question)....about JSP and Servlets...
I understand how JSPs work (as I've used ASP in the past). However, I'm not sure how Servlets fit into the web application universe. I know you can generate HTML via Servlets by using println()'s and its sometimes easier to use JSP with a lot of HTML. It seems that most people seem to use both Servlets and JSPs. If I had a web page with data that I wanted to communicate to a Servlet, how would I go about this? Following on from that, where would you logically use Servlets instead of JSP's and vice versa?
Sorry for the generalisation of this question, but I just don't get how Servlets fit into the greater scheme of things.
Thanks for any help with these questions. :)

Hi,
I'm also a beginner myself but I'll tell you what I
know...
About the strings, I think both expressions give the
same result, the second expression
String myString2 = new String("This is also a
String");calls the constructor of the string class, providing
it with a value for this new string being created. I
think the first expression is a shortcut which is
probably converted to the second expression by the
compiler.
See previous answer.
About JSP and servlets, you say you have done some
ASP, are you also familiar with ASP.NET? because if
you are, it's pretty easy to understand that JSP is
like ASP in the aspx file, whereas a servlet is like
the codebehind file containing C# or VB code, the
aspx.cs file
A JSP is compiled into a servlet by the JSP engine, but it's important to note that servlets have a life of their own outside of JSPs. You can write a servlet without a JSP, but you can't write a JSP and not end up with a servlet.
Servlets are Java's more efficient answer to CGI scripts. - MOD

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

A few beginner questions

I installed AD7 as part of the CS2 Premium package. I have a few basic questions to help me get started.
1. I have added a Text Field box. When I preview the form and enter text in the form, the text starts in the vertical center of the form, not at the top. I have allowed for many lines of input, but I want the text that is inputed to start on the top and work down the area as the user types, not keep the text centered vertically.
b How do I change the text field so that the user text starts at the top left of the field?
2. I'm not really ready to accept the data from my forms as XML. I'd have to write some sort of XML parser or use a database program to read the data. I do not get volumes of data. I would just like to receive a filled in PDF file via e-mail that is easy for me to read after the user fills in their data.
b How do I code the form so that when the user is ready, it submits the completed form back to me via e-mail in .pdf format?

I finally found the answer to my question #1, Use the Window<Paragraph to set the attributes for the text field paragraph. I'm still trying to figure out #2 though. I have a new question too b How do I add a note in my form like I can when creating a PDF document in Acrobat? I want to use the note as detailed instructions on how to fill out a particular field. Perhaps, AD7 has some other way of accomplishing this that is not called a "note"?

Basic JSP question

Hi,
I'm starting to use JSP, and I have a few basic questions. I've found some tutorials online, such as the J2EE tutorial, and some others through Google, that have been helpful. However, after reading some tutorials, I still have a basic question:
If I have a Java class file, can I access that class' methods through my web page using JSP, and then retrieve information from that class?
For example, if I have a class MyClass, a method myMethod, and an ArrayList<String> arr, would I be able to do something like this from my web page?
MyClass.myMethod();
MyClass.arr.get(0);If anyone can give me some advice, or possibly link me to a tutorial that will explain this, I will be very appreciative.

Yes you can, here is a quick example of how you could do that.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<jsp:useBean id="myObject" scope="session" class="mypackage.MyClass" />
<html>
<body>
<%
myObject.myMethod();
%>
<%= myObject.arr.get(0) %>
</body>
</html>

Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

Hi,
Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
It seems that when I use - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
Many thanks!
Ivan Reshetilov
http://www.ivanreshetilov.co.uk

Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you. Have never heard of <pre> tags, use tags. If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
If you add &nsbp; or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters. How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS. E.g.
p {
 margin:0;
 padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
This would place all text within tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left. Hope this helps, good luck!

A few post config questions on new setup

Hi Group,
Just a few post config questions.
First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server? On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'. I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
Thanks.

The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2. I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI. It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.
