Functional and tech upg

Hello champions,
Difference between Technical and Functional upgrade at all levels with respect to functional consultant point of view.
Full points for the link / doc

Hi,
When it is a technical upgrade from a lower version to ECC6.0, many objects like includes, Function modules, reports, OSS notes, DDIC objects, BDC/Print programs, SAP scripts, screens will get affected due to the upgradation. So we need to check with all these objects.
We will encounter short dumps while executing certain programs. This may be due to the usage of obsolete function modules or Unicode errors.
The BDCs in the upgraded version will become defective as many of its screen field names will be changed during version change.
Program texts of many programs will be lost. They have to be restored.
In case of tables, enhancement category has to be provided.
There is a possibility of losing the variants during upgradation. So care should be taken to retain them before upgradation.
ECC6.0 is case sensitive, so many of the interface programs will fail to transfer (FTP) files between systems. These objects have to be changed so that the commands passed to the external system be UPPERCASE.
So a developer should be aware of the following:
Unicode programming is followed in ECC6.0. So we need to be aware of it to rectify certain Unicode errors which are likely to occur.
You have to run the transactions SPAU & SPDD to check for list of standard & custom objects that needs modification in the upgraded version.
Check the below link to find more details on usage of SPAU & SPDD transactions
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
Should be aware of the objects that have become obsolete in ECC6.0. They have to be replaced by appropriate ones.For eg.:
--> The WS_* function modules have been replaced by GUI_* FMs in ECC6.0 as WS_* FMs have become obsolete from 4.7
-->Tables like TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively in ECC6.0.
In case of tables, we need to specify the Enhancement category.
Due to upgradation, we will lose out some variants. So we should take a back-up before proceeding with the upgradation.
In case of BDC programs, some field names will be changed. So they have to be named appropriately.

Calling Oracle Functions and Procedures in Java

I've looked online for a blurb on using Oracle SQL functions and
procedures in Java, but I haven't found anything. Can someone
either give me a quick crash course on this, or point me to the
best source of information for this?

From the SQLJ FAQ.
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html#sqljplsql
Within your SQLJ statements, you can use PL/SQL anonymous blocks
and call PL/SQL stored procedures and stored functions, as in the
following examples: Anonymous
block:
#sql {
DECLARE
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
n := 1;
WHILE n <= 100 LOOP
INSERT INTO emp (empno) VALUES(2000 +
n);
n := n + 1;
END LOOP;
END
Stored procedure call (returns the maximum
deadline as an output parameter into an output host expression):
#sql { CALL MAX_DEADLINE(:out maxDeadline) };
Stored function call (returns the maximum
deadline as a function return into a result expression):
#sql maxDeadline = { VALUES(GET_MAX_DEADLINE)
Of course, you can also use JDBC code to achieve the same - the
standard JDBC escape sequences for stored function and procedure
calls are supported, using for example:
"{? = CALL GET_MAX_DEADLINE}"
or:
"{call MAX_DEADLINE(?)}"
and for the rest of the details, get that JDBC crash course...

Sorry, I don't have code or specific enhancement names. All I can say is that after enhancement, it worked very well.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer. There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this?

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?

If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

How to use, Case function and Filter in Column Formula?

Hello All,
I am using case function and also would like to filter value to populate.
Below is showing error :
case
when '@{Time}' = 'Year' then "Time"."Fiscal Year"
when '@{Time}' = 'Quarter' then "Time"."Fiscal Quarter"
when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')
else ifnull('@{Time}','Selection Failed') end
Thanks, AK

when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')I dont think Filter this works here or any other data types except number.
Try to use option Column's->Filter->Advanced->Convert this filter to SQL

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

Hey everyone,
I had the same problems all of you are having. I
just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
notebook card which didn't work either and actually
seemed to make the problem worse because when I
connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
an older version of the ipod software. I used his
disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
the new version of the software on the Apple Web
site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
of the software is faulty in some way.
Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
need an older version of the iPod updater software,
so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

Few questions about sql2008 functions and commands

hello,
I am learning sql2008 implementation and maintenance,I am just 2 weeks bussy.there is some questions in my mind wich I can't answer it.
1-when I can use USE MASTER statement
2-can a database for example (test) have many and unlimmited file groups?
3-what is the diferrence between file and filegroup! is the term of file means tables in filegroup?
4-with boundary points does mean the data type when creating partition function!
5`what is diferrence between full text index and index,where you have to use the index and wher you have to use full text index?
6-each filegroup must have one partition or one partition can have many filegroups in partition scheme!
7-do you have to partition every scheme or not! where do you have to partition a scheme and where not?
8-can you give a little example with switch operator!
9-again do you have to partition every table and index in the real world or not!
thanks

Hi,
Let me try to answer your questions:
You need to use USE MASTER whenever you need to do some work in the MASTER database and the database context is not that.
Yes, a database can have many filegroups. Please check this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179316.aspx
Please check this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179316.aspx
As per BOL:
boundary_value is a constant expression that can reference variables. This includes user-defined type variables, or functions and user-defined functions. It cannot reference Transact-SQL expressions.
boundary_value must either match or be implicitly convertible to the data type supplied in
input_parameter_type, and cannot be truncated during implicit conversion in a way that the size and scale of the value does not match that of its corresponding
input_parameter_type. For more details check
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187802.aspx
For simplicity: Full-Text index is used to search in a LOB/text data in a column, index is used to speed up your queries. Please check these articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571.aspx,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189271.aspx
As per BOL: When you create a partition scheme, you define the filegroups where the table partitions are mapped, based on the parameters of the partition function. You must specify enough filegroups to hold the number of partitions. You can specify that
all partitions map to a different filegroup, that some partitions map to a single filegroup, or that all partitions map to a single filegroup. You can also specify additional, "unassigned" filegroups in the event you want to add more partitions later. For
more info, please check
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188730.aspx
8. Please read the concept of partitioning here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190199.aspx and for SWITCH operator, please check the sliding window example at here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964122(SQL.90).aspx
9. It depends :) but you always will have at least 1 partition!
I hope it helps.
