Fundamental Question -Users

How Do I create Users on the SOlman & the authorizations ;(PFCG direct on SOLMAN??)
BTW I have no clue of SolMan -Just got my hands on it today !
Thanks

Hi George,
1.Call Transaction SU01,
2.Choose the Authorizations tab.
3.Choose Change Authorization Data.
4.Enter your own values for the authorization objects, or double-click on the yellow traffic light.
5.The authorization objects appear with a green traffic light.
When you double-click on the yellow traffic light, the value u201C*u201D appears. This grants full authorization for this field of the authorization object.
6. Save.
7.Generate the authorization profile.
Plz reward points if helpful.

Fundamental question: disable the GUI while RMI is communicating?

Good afternoon,
I'm using RMI in a swing application and i have fundamental question:
I have a jlist with categories and another jlist which displays the items of the selected category. When a user selects a category rmi is used to get the items of the selected category from the server (internet).
Should i disable the whole application while rmi is communicating with the server? For example with a glasspane with a cancel button.
What is the best practice in this case?
Best regards,
James

I found a really nice solution, now i call my remote methods like:
taskManager.executeAction(new ITaskResult(){
      public void done(Object result) {
        Collections.sort(rpcs, new RpcComperator());
        fireContentsChanged(this, 0, getSize());
      public void failed(Exception e) {
        WindowUtils.showErrorDialog(owner, "Could not change server");
    }, new IAction(){
      public Object action() throws DBException, AccessException {
        return taskManager.getBasic().changeRpc(rpc);
    }, true);The first parameter of executeAction() is a object which gets notified when a task completes (done()) or fails (failed()). The second parameter is a object which indicates which remote functions should be called. And finally the third parameter defines if the user should wait until the remote function completes.
If the user should wait the executeAction() function shows a nice modal dialog with a progressbar and a cancel button. If the user doesn't have to wait it takes the progressbar on the statusbar to indicate the system is busy.
Much rewriting was needed, but i think it is quite simple and it is fully swing thread save. But it wonders me that such a thing wasn't available.

Fundamental questions before starting next project

Last project I put together received scathing criticism - and I have to say that I did not put any effort at all to clean the code up or optimize it. The reason is I started with small projects and within couple of months it just grew out of hand with requirements matrix gradually increasing.
So this time around I want to take advice from you guys on architecture issues before I jump into programming. The two fundamental questions:
1) I always thought that SubVi is like a method in C++. If I need to use that code multiple times, then I better put it in a SubVi. But after going through some of the posts on this forum it seems that people use SubVis to reduce # of wires,blocks,etc. on the main Vi too. Is this a standard practice?
2) If I want to have more than 1 VI in the software, what is the best way to send data from one VI to the other VI? SubVI has input and output wires. So it is easy. But VIs do not. Basically I want to have Main VI where I get all the information from the use through a front panel and then go off doing my data acquisition. I want to keep the Main VI as clean as possible. There will be some operations which will need only 1 input and will have only 1 output. But this operation will be used only once in the who operation. So can I have this operation all in a VI and then call it in the Main VI?
3) If I have 3 different VIs in my application, and I define something (say an array) in the Main VI or for that matter second_VI.vi in my application, will that be available in the third_VI.vi ?
Thanks in advance.

You could call it similar to a method. I would say a subroutine or function is a better terminology since the term method is more applicable to object oriented based programming. Basically any way to encapsulate a portion of code, particularly if you use it over and over. It might have input and/or outputs, or neither.
2) If I want to have more than 1 VI in the software, what is the best way to send data from one VI to the other VI? SubVI has input and output wires. So it is easy. But VIs do not.

So can I have this operation all in a VI and then call it in the Main VI?
There is no difference between a VI and a subVI other than semantics. Both are completely independent excecutable portions of code. Your main or top-level VI can have inputs and outputs as well. You could execute it stand alone, or it could become a subVI of an even higher portion of code in your hierarchy. The only difference between the two is that a subVI is just a term to distinguish it as being a portion of a higher level of code. There are multiple ways of passing data between VI's. One is wires. When a subVI ends, the data on its indicator that is connected to the panel is available to travel down the wire to another portion of code. Another is global or shared variables which stores data to be used by multiple locations. Another is a function global variable, a LV2 style variable, or action engine. All of these use special characteristics of uninitialized shift registers to store data between calls of that subVI. Other methods of sharing data are on the Synchronization pallette such as queues and notifiers to store and pass data.
Using a subVI, even it used in only 1 location can help keep a portion of your block diagram clear. It gives you the ability to hide some details such as a complicated algorithm. You can write an algorithm as a subVI and it gives you the ability to test the inputs and outpus as a standalone. Once you have that. You can drop it in and use it even if it is only at 1 location. If you need to change it, you can modify the subVI and test it without risking the corruption of the rest of your main VI
3) If I have 3 different VIs in my application, and I define something (say an array) in the Main VI or for that matter second_VI.vi in my application, will that be available in the third_VI.vi ?
Possibly, it all depends on which of the methods listed in number 2 you would like to use.
Thanks in advance.

Fundamental question on EJB, JNDI and client jars

Hi,
This is a very fundamental question on EJBs and their clients - what
all should go into the client jar of an ejb?
I know for sure that just the remote and home interface classes of the
ejb are sufficient on the client's classpath to work with an EJB on a
totally different server, but I dont understand the logic behind it.
If the client has to pass its object parameters over the network to
the server where the ejb bean is located, should the container
generated stub not be present on the client's classpath? After the
client does the JNDI lookup of the ejb home on the server, how does it
serialize and pass the parameters over the network if the container
generated stub is not present?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pointers to material on the
internet which explain this/related things in detail would be a great
help.
Thank you,
Anoushka

hello,
well, the process is fairly simple actually.. The client needn't necessarily have
the container generated stub. as a client u could contact what is known as a boot-strap
service to download the stub over the wire.. infact one of the advantages of RMI
is precisely that. and since RMI is the underlying architecture of EJBs, it all
becomes rather simple. when u 'lookup' a bean, what u are in essence doing is
asking the server to send down the stub to your JVM. well.. right now this is
what i got time for..i will try to post a lengthier explanation in a couple of
days at leisure..

One fundamental question: When users gets ceated in IDM from trusted recon

I have a very basic question which I am not able to understand.
When user accounts gets created in IDM from trusted recon, then the trusted recon resource object is not displayed in resource profile page of the user account. If we want to see whether the user account was created through trusted source or by manually by admin, then where can we see that?
This information is stored anywhere in IDM DB which will distinguish user accounts created through trusted recon and those created manually in IDM?
Please let me know if you are not able to understand my question.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

You may be able to use the USR_CREATEBY field in the database. For an admin created user this should contain the USR_KEY value of the admin who created the user. I think for a reconciliation created user it may contain the USR_KEY of the OIMINTERNAL user.

Solution Manager - v3.2 - Fundamental Question

Hi
I have a fundamental SAP / SM question which I cant seem to actually clarify....
Do ALL SAP servers in a SAP Infrastructure have to have a servername of 13 Characters?...
When revieing the OSS it mentioned HOSTNAME...and it seems to use this interchangably with Computer Name...
So, for example...
Can I have a Solutions Manager server with a Netbios name of "SOLUTIONSMANAGE" - 15 CHARACTERS and a SAP ECC Server with a server name also with 15 Characters......?
The OSS and all the documentation refers to SAP Prereq of 13 Characters for the Host...but what is the host defininition in this case?..What does the 13 Character limit apply to? How do companies with Naming conventions longer than 13 Characters implement the landscape?
Many Thanks!

Fundamental questions before buying into the Droid phenomon

Good morning.
Status:     User of Verizon for TV/Net/Phone. Thinking of migrating to DROID.
Current phone:   No bells or whistles, no web access.
Questions:
     1. I've seen 3 "droid" phones advertised. Which it the best (am leaning towards the Motorola)
     2. What is the best deal in purchasing Droids? I'll need two, and would like to leave the other two family members on their own phones for the $10/month. (I'm seeing "buy one for $199 and the 2nd free).
     3. I think I'm paying no more than $120/month for what I have now. What would I be paying if I integrated the 2 droids into my "plan?" How much of an increase am I likely to encounter?
     4. Are "discount" plans of any value (alumni, employee, etc?). If so, what is/are the best?
Thank you!

1. "Best" is subjective. In terms of pure specs? The HTC Incredible. Blows the Moto Droid out of the water; faster processor, more memory, better camera, nicer and more responsive touch screen, HTC's Sense UI is beautiful and elegant.
Only YOU would know what's "best" for you.
2. BOGO is only currently offered on the Moto Droid and HTC Droid Eris. Go with the Moto Droid, it's the only one of the two that will get the new Android 2.2 Froyo update from Google. And yes, pay $199.99 for the first one (After obligatory $100 rebate) and the second one is FREE (after obligatory $100 rebate).
3. Each device will require it's own $29.99 data plan. So you're looking at adding $60 to your monthly bill. If one of the Droids is on your Primary line where you get your employee discount now then it will apply to the data plan as well, but only for the Primary line.
You're welcome!

Fundamental questions-please help

Hi all,
i have a few funadamental questions as i am new to composites.
Is it necessary to make my web dynpro comonents callable to be used in a GP ?
Can i first make the Web dynpro component - which has Bapi Import + my own Context attributres - and then expose the model as entity service.Or should i first make entity service and then import it in web dynpro?
If i make my web dynpro component as callable - am i creating an application service - as requrired in CAF architecture?
Please help me
Points assured for any help.

Hi Shobhendra,
You can use any webdynpro application in a GP process. However, if you create a WebDynpro component implementing the GP interface, then this allows a more integrated application, because you can get and put data from/into the process layer, and you can change the status from within your application. If you use a normal WebDynpro application, this is not possible (the application is just loaded in an iframe).
You should create the entity or application service first, and import this into your WebDynpro component, because webdynpro is the user interface layer. You could also import the bapi directly in your webdynpro component, without using the service layer in between.
If you use the CAF service layer, you should create an application service which you can use in your WebDynpro component. In the application service you can then use the entity services and/or external service/BAPIs.

Two Fundamental questions on UPGRADE/Patch

Question 1.
If i upgrade from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, should i call this as an Upgrade or Patching?
Question 2.
If i upgrade(or patch) from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, can i reverse theses changes and go back to 10.2.0.1.0?

You cannot downgrade the instance/databaseThanks Maran. But according to the following link (which Ying has suggested) 10gR2 can be downgraded back to 9.2.0.6.0
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/downgrade.htm#i1010243
Just for clarification: You can only downgrade your database (without using a backup) if your COMPATIBLE setting is less than the default of "10.2". If it has been set to "10.2" there is no way of downgrading directly, then you need to restore from backup.
If the COMPATIBLE parameter is still e.g. "9.2" then you can follow the instructions and basically - after performing the described steps - open the same physical database using a 9.2 instance.

Fundamental question on etherchannel hashing.

Folks,
I had some very basic questions on the way hashing takes place on Cisco switches connected to each other over a port channel.
Considering that 2 links are used between the switch, namely port Gi 0/1 and Gi 0/2.
1) By default I understand that this could be a L2 etherchannel or L3 etherchannel, the default mode of hashing is still the Source and destination MAC id, am I correct?
2) So now if the source IP of 1.1.1.1 needs to reach to 1.1.1.2 how would the hashing calculation take place? Again I understand that this is on the basis of the last 3 bits from the IP address field. 001 and 010 come to 011 which is 3. So based on the number of ports it will select which interface to assign.
I still do not understand what has the below output got to do with the selection:
Core-01#sh interfaces port-channel 40 etherchannel
Age of the Port-channel   = 204d:07h:40m:10s
Logical slot/port   = 14/3          Number of ports = 2
GC                  = 0x00000000      HotStandBy port = null
Passive port list   = Te1/4 Te2/4
Port state          = Port-channel L3-Ag Ag-Inuse
Protocol            =    -
Port security       = Disabled
Fast-switchover     = disabled
Fast-switchover Dampening = disabled
Load share deferral = disabled
Ports in the Port-channel:
Index   Load      Port          EC state       No of bits
------+------+------------+------------------+-----------
0      E4            Te1/4                 On   4
1      1B            Te2/4                 On   4
Time since last port bundled:    204d:07h:19m:44s    Te2/4
Time since last port Un-bundled: 204d:07h:19m:54s    Te1/4
Core-01#
What does that load-value mean? and how is that calculated? and does that have a role to play in the selection of the port?
Thanks,
Nik

So it looks like how to divide the bits is decided by the switch.
Ah, yea, reread my original post for answer to your second question. ;)
An actual hashing algorithm can be rather complicated. What they try to do is to "fairly" divide the input value across the number of hash buckets. For example, if you have two Etherchannel links, they will try to hash the hash attribute such that 50% goes to one link and 50% to the other link.
For example, assuming you hash on source IP, how do you hash 192.168.1.1, .2, .3 and .4? A very simple hash algorithm could just go "odd"/"even", but what if your IPs were .2, .4, .6 and .8? A more complex algorithm would try to still hash these IPs equally across your two links.
Again, hashing algorithms can get complex, search the Internet on the subject, and you may better appreciate this.
Because of the possibility of such complexity, one vendor's hashing might be better than another vendor's, so they often will keep their actual algorithm secret.
No matter, though, how good a hashing algorithm might be, they all will hash the same attribute to the same bucket. For example, if you're still using source IP, and only source IP, as your hash attribute, all traffic from the same host is going to use the same link. This is why what attributes are used are important. Choices vary per Cisco platform. Normally, you want the hash attributes to differ between every different traffic flow.
Etherchannel does not analyze actual link loading. If there are only two active flows, and both hash to the same link, that link might become saturated, while another link is completely idle.
Short term Etherchannel usage, unless you're dealing with lots of flows, is often not very balanced. Longer term Etherchannel usage, should be almost balanced. If not, most likely you're not using the optimal hash attributes for your traffic.

Another ichat question: user (me) did not respond redux

Hi,
I have been unable to invite a video chat with someone, getting the 'I' did not respond message. I have tried everything that I can think of:
changing the port from 5190 to 443 (or whichever is recommended)
turned off my firewall
do not use a router
adjusted QT settings to 1.5 mbps and bandwidth limit to NONE
The person I am trying to connect with (on a PC using AIM) ends up having to invite me, which may or may not work on the 1st try. Also, when I do the invite, it immediately responds and goes to 'starting chat' and just hangs there for a while until I get the inevitable 'user (me) did not respond' with the option of reporting to apple, which I do everytime.
I know that I had this problem before and did everything that was needed/recommended, which ended up working in the end, but I am baffled now. Any other ideas? They will be greatly appreciated!!!
Have a good day!

imac 2.0 intel duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Dave,
I have a Scientific Atlanta DP2100 series as given through Comcast (my ISP). According to Comcast, once I hook everything up, it is set. I have recently reset it by simply unplugging everything, letting it sit for at least a minute, and then hooking it back up, power, ethernet and cable. It does it's little startup thing, and it theoretically should be good to go. I have talked to Comcast recently, due to internet lags and tv problems, and they have said that though there have been outages around my area (but not directly here), things look good on their end. A few grains of salt with that one!
For some reason, when I try to access the modems settings via the dns address, it doesn't open that address, so that may be playing a part in it. I am not too knowledgeable on that, so if you have some ideas, that would be great.
Thanks,
Greg

Fundamental questions on redo logs and rollbacks

Hi all,
Some basic questions, I really want to understand it very clearly.
Suppose that we have updated few records in a table. We know that the blocks to be updated will be fetched into buffer cache, they will be updated with new value and commited eventually. The questions I have are ,
1) What exact information will go to redo log ? is it a copy of the block before change and copy of the block after change ?
2) What exactly goes to rollback segment? is it copy of block before change (for update) and just the rowid for inserted row and the copy of block for a deleted row ?
3) Whatever we do, is it the whole block that goes to redo or rollback ? Means if there are 10 rows in the block and we update one of them, still whole block goes to redo or rollback ?
4) If we rollback, what goes where ? Is there anything that goes to redo if we rollback ?
Please explain.
Thanks.

Redo stores changes made in the database, and undo/rollback stores the reverse of those changes. Data blocks may be changed prior to a commit, and recorded in both locations.
So, when a database is recovered, redo is applied to the backup datafiles, rolling every change forward, and then undo is applied to reverse any uncomitted transactions.
Undo/rollback can also be used simply to roll back a transaction in an active instance. Redo is only used during instance recovery.
I don't know if this is tracked via the storage of block images, or if it just stores the change itself.

Nobody knows this fundamental question - CMP, CMT, BMP, BMT. Surprised !!

Hello,
I've talked to many experts and read books on EJB but none of them gave me a clear cut answers. What are the definitions of CMP, CMT, BMP and BMT? No one could explain "Persistent" from "Transaction" properly. No books clearly define them at all. Some say BMP means BMT and CMP means CMT. Some others say they are totally different concept. Others even say different stories. Actually, when we create EJBs (in Visual Cafe as an example), we can tell whether the bean is CMP or BMP but there os no place where we can define the transaction mode (BMT or CMT). How come do so many people get confused about this fundamental concept? Can anybody explain them clearly please?

CMP = Container Managed Persistence
This means that the container (part of the EJB Server) automatically handles persisting your bean to a DB. So if you have an Entity Bean, for example, that has some properties (like name, size) and a table in the database with the fields name (as a varchar), size (as an integer), then when you set the bean's properties to "Joe" and "14", you can then look in your database and those values will be there. You (the developer) do not have to write any code to put those values into the DB.
BMP = Bean Managed Persistence
This means that (in the above example of an EJB with properties name, size), if you set your bean's name to "joe" and size to 14, those values will NOT go into the DB unless you (the developer) put them there.
CMT = Container Managed Transactions
A transaction is really either one statement (or action) or a bunch of them that are grouped together. If it is a group, then for any one of them to be executed / committed, they must all execute successfully. If even just one of the actions / statements fails, they all fail (or are all "rolled back", i.e. un-done)
CMT means that the container (EJB Server) will handle making sure that all the actions or statements from a transaction (i.e. a particular context of actions kicked off when an EJB is called) are completed successfully. If they are, the container will commit (execute) all the statements and return "success". If any one of them fails, the container will handle rolling back (un-doing) all the statements. This is VERY useful, as you do not need any special if statements or try-catches, the container does it for you.
BMT = Bean Managed Transaction
This means that you (the developer) will have to logically group together all that actions that you consider for a transaction. If any one of them fails, you will need to make sure all of them are rolled back and that "failure" is returned to the caller. If they are all successful, you will have to return success.
You can do this by using the below code:
(in all the code below, they may wrap from one line to the next, just pay attention to where the ";" is)
//import Transaction
import javax.transaction.UserTransaction
//make a new transaction:
UserTransaction userTran = ( UserTransaction ) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
try
//And then marking the beginning of the transaction:
userTran.begin();
//Then Do your stuff (i.e. the actions)
myPersonalBusinessMethods();
//commit the transaction cause it's all ok
userTran.commit();
catch (Exception e)
//rollback (un-do) all the stuff cause error occurred
userTran.rollback();
Hope all this helped and finally explained it! Feel free to throw some duke dollars my way if it did! ;P

Few fundamental Question- Project IMG and BBPs

Dear All
I have few basic question and will appreciate answers ,. points will be awarded as well.
1. Is there any difference between Enterprise IMG and Project IMG ( or is there any thing such as Enterprise IMG exists in Solman).
2. Can scope of project IMG be changed once it has been creted and saved. ( if yes then Steps plz)
3.How to create BBP nodes in Solar02 based on Project IMG.
Regards

Hi Nayab,
1. In simple terms, Project IMG is a sub-set of Enterprise IMG, based on what you scope in. It can also be a mirror image of Enterprise IMG (meaning - all entries can be included in Project IMG). If you go to SPRO transaction in the given satellite system (R/3, CRM ...), you'll find different icons in front of each IMG node, under Project IMG - that is to let you 'document' your activities. Enterprise IMG is the core or reference IMG that SAP provides out of the box.
2. Yes. it can be changed. But, I am unable to list steps here
3. By BBP nodes in SOLAR02, what did you mean ? I have heard the term BPP (Business Process Procedure) or BB (Business Blueprint). Can you elaborate please.
Also, the whole topic of Project IMG Vs. Enterprise IMG is about the satellite system involved and not on SolMan's own configuration.
Regards,
Srini

Fundamental Question...How does my Mac book pro choose an AP?

Hi all,
Setup: I have an n-type Airport extreme connected to my cable modem. I have it set to allow it to be extended and be b/g compatible. I then have 3 additional airport devices, all n-type, extending the network. These devices are ....
Airport express
Airport Extreme (second base station)
Time Capsule
Ok, so here comes my question. I can identify on my laptop which airpot mac address I am connected to. When I am sitting right on top of the time capsule, the laptop chooses one of the base stations half way across the house, with a fairly low RSSI. I have renewed the DHCP lease on the computer but it will not choose the Time Capsule..any one know why? Maybe there is a setting that I am missing specific to the Time Capsule?
Thanks in advance

Ok, so here comes my question. I can identify on my laptop which airpot mac address I am connected to. When I am sitting right on top of the time capsule, the laptop chooses one of the base stations half way across the house, with a fairly low RSSI. I have renewed the DHCP lease on the computer but it will not choose the Time Capsule..any one know why? Maybe there is a setting that I am missing specific to the Time Capsule?
No, you're not missing any specific settings on your Time Capsule. The algorithm that Apple employs for a wireless client to "decide" which base station to connect to, as far as I know, has never been published to the general public so it would be hard to offer you any explanations to the rhyme or reason that they connect as they do. Logic would lead you to believe that the client would try to connect to either the nearest or the station with the strongest signal ... but as you can see, it doesn't always work that way.
