How long to implement DBI?

Is there any metric or 'finger in the air' estimate that can indicate how long it will take to implement a 'vanilla' installation of DBI on Release 12 for each of the areas of:
Financials
Projects
Purchasing
Supply Chain
Sales
The only thing I read on the forum was that it could take 'weeks or months'. Obviously to get approval for a project I need to know whether it is going to take weeks or months to do.
From the DBI implementation guide there seems to be a number of common pre-requisite steps that needs to be completed, followed by module area specific ones.
The steps seem to be geared towards a functional person that would be configuring the related parent module, rather than a pure technical person. Is my impression correct?
If there are any patches that would not be applied as part of a standard R12 implementation that are needed for DBI then how long do we need to allocate to this?
Cheers,
John

to enable the Standard dashboard without customization it wont take much time
finance will take little bit time as we need to build the FDMH
SCM, Purchasing and Sales will not take much time
We have done this is 8 weeks time end to end (from RA to UAT) depends on the comfort level with each module and the comfort level with the DBI
Yes we did run into lot of issues . DBI 7.3 is good

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD?

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?

Anand,
let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

How long is it to implement JSSE on a client-server architecture?

Hi all of you,
Since I'm not a developper but more a system admin, I'm wondering how long approximatly it would take to adapt an existing JAVA client-server architecture to use JSSE or SSL communication over the internet. Is it a simple task or are we talking about weeks of work? Where would be installed the SSL certificate, on the web server or the database server? In brief, what are the main steps that a developper has to go through?
Architecture:
JAVA client
Web server (RMI server), Microsoft IIS5.0
Database server (MySQL4.0)
Thanks you all for your precious time,
AD

If your webserver has a server certificate from one of the "Big Boys" in the CA business, and if you don't need client-authentication (and almost no-one does) - in your client, write "SSL" in front of everywhere the app currently has the word "Socket", and scratch out "HttpUrl" and replace it with HttpsUrl,." and change your access-urls to start with "https:" and change your socket-connections to talk to your server's SSL port, and you're done. I've taken a Socket-based app and made it SSL/Plain bilingual in two hours once (admittedly, it was a small and well-designed app).
If your server-cert isn't signed by a known CA, then you have to play some games to get the client side to accept it - but they've all been discussed to death in this forum.

How long does it take to implement HR Mini Master

I realize there are many variables, but typically how long does it take to configure HR Mini master (3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, etc...)? We would like to upload from Peoplesoft and continually have it updated.
best regards,

Hi,
If you have all information/data available from client, then configuring Enterprise structure, Personnel Structure, Actions, Infotypes, time related setting and integration of other modules will take atleast two weeks, but after that testing along with other modules takes time to test complete cycle. So there is no fix time we can give to client but minimum three weeks.
All the best,

How long takes a 16bit multiplication on FPGA?

Hello,
if i try to multiply two for example 16bit numbers, how long will it take?
Are there some hardware multipliers on the FPGA to calculate it within 1 tick? Otherwise the multiplier have to be implemented on the FPGA and I suppose it will not be possible within 1 tick...
Best regards,
Helmut

On LV-FPGA targets like cRIO-backplanes or 78xx boards there are hardware multipliers implemented. Please refer to this document for further information. As you have stated correctly these mulipliers need 1 tick for execution.

How long does a tick last for the Tick Count (ms) VI in LabVIEW?

I'm trying to compare the timing performance between a VI implemented in LabVIEW and another VI implemented in LabVIEW FPGA module. If I use the Tick Count in both VIs (every one in their own module), I want to know how long does a tick last in LabVIEW standard (in the computer)?
Thanks

I have this doubt because I read that a tick lasts 55ms in the following source:

My tick count provides me better results than the hardware results, which is impossible because this is the same algorithm. If I consider the 55ms time, then the FPGA is really faster.

I think you are misunderstanding what the value of a "tick" is. From what I gathered from reading your link (which I couldn't get to from your post, but accidentally ran into on a search) a tick of the OS clock." Curiously, though - why 55ms? That was mentioned as the tick of a Win95/98 OS!
I guess you can say that the it returns the value of the next "tick" of the OS clock and returns that value in ms. So, the value of a tick varies from OS to OS. In Windows 95/98, for example, you can only look at the OS clock every 55ms or so, but it still returns a value that represents ms.

How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...

How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...
For a small company, if the Tiger server is running on a G4 Tower:
-Roughly 500GB in user files
-Data resides on old-school ATA drives
-OD Master - Kerberized
-AFP
-Mobile Homes
-DHCP
-DNS (for 2 domains)
-FTP
-iChat
-Mail (non SSL)
-NetBoot
-Print Server
-SWUPD
-VPN
-Hosting website using MySQL
-User & Computer Management
Considerations/Hurdles/Challenges:
-Tossing old G4 into garbage, upgrading Mini client to Snow Leopard, adding Lion iMac client to the LAN
-Fresh OS installs on the Mini and iMac
-Upgrading from CAT5 to CATE on the LAN (not it the walls - just loose cables)
-All new hardware must be sourced out (take some time to price compare)
-Must find a way to transfer data from ATA drives to SATA drives or Lion Server
-Company must not have any email downtime (MX Records to be modified on DNS Providers site)
-Servers hostname goes from "companyserver.company.com" to "server.company.com"
-ISP blocks some SMTP ports
-DNS Provider doesn't support TSL/SSL SMTP
-Implementing a switch into the network
-Implementing a new router (for firewall and NAT) from ISP
Upgrading to Lion Mini Server
-All the same services
-Using SSL
-Implementing Mobile Device Enrolment and Deployment
That should just about cover it. I'll add any other details/hurdles as they come to mind.
Can you guys give me your best guesstimate as to how many hours you think this job should take? I'd appreciate any feedback as to how long you guys think it'd take you to make this transition. I'm trying to plan, and we're going to be down-and-out, the boss NEEDS to know for how long.!
Thanks in advance guys!

It's about a gigabyte, so if you have a slow connection, it might take some time.
But - you shouldn't be getting the beach ball - that's a different thing.
Can you do open Activity Monitor, or is it stuck completely?

How to determine how long an Oracle patch will take to complete?

Hello,
Does anybody know of a way as to how to determine how long a certain Oracle patch will take when it is applied?
Regards.

Another thing to consider is if the patch does any data conversion/inserts/updates/validation/etc. Running a patch against a small test instance with 100 users and 10,000 invoices may take considerably less time than it does against a production size instance with 22,000+ users and millions of invoices.
We try to test every patch against a production size test instance prior to implementing it into production.

Implementing DBI for Financials in R12

Hi,
We are currently in the process of implementing DBI for Financials for our client.
Could someone help me understand how to implement the manager reporting setup? Escpecially the mapping of company costcenters to HR company cost center organizations.
I would appreciate an example very much.

For setting up mananger reporting in R12, you will have to do the following:
1) make sure that the user is associated with a person
2) user is a manager in the hr hierarchy i.e user has other people reporting to him/her
3) define the cost centers in the FDHM in DBI using the DBI admin responsibility
4) set up the same cost centers as organizations in HR using HRMS responsibility and have the user set up as manager reporting for the cost centers you want him/her to have access.
5) after completing these steps when you run the financials dashbord you should see the name of the user in the drop down for manager
--manager reporting is required only for P&L dashboards.
For others(other than P&L) including payables, provide access as Company Cost Center Role, Fund Manager, Financial Analyst using DBI admin responsibilty (Data Security: Delegation> Administer Company and Cost Center Security).
If you have a metalink account, here is the link to the whitepaper on setting up manager reporting.

how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s, how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s

Thanks Caramby. I actually found another work-around
Here's how to copy the voice memo to your laptop (and then email it if you need to):
With iTunes open on the Voice Memo folder of your device (an iPhone 4s in my case), simply drag the required file from iTunes and onto the desktop of your pc/laptop. It won't remove the file from your device but simply make a copy. Then you can play the file from your pc/laptop (through Quicktime) as the file is in AAC format. You can also attach the file to an email for sending.
Hope this helps someone else.

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

How long will laptop be in the shop?

Hello,
I have a mid-2010 15 inch macbook pro. For a long time now I have been having this issue with the laptop, whereby it will freeze if the video card or graphics card or whatever is taxed too hard. The display goes black immediately after some action (attempting to crop a large image in photoshop, scrolling quickly through images, doing something on an external monitor) and this action is usually something that would make the computer work harder than what a normal person would be doing on a day-to-day basis. If sound is playing while the computer freezes, then the last half-second or so of the sound track repeats ad infinitum, and there is nothing that can be done to bring the computer out of this state except for a hard restart of the system. Over the past year I have tried many things...closing the lid and opening it, waiting for a long time, pressing any number of button combinations from online suggestion forums, resetting the ram or whatever else you reset on the system, trust me...there is no way to make this issue stop happening.
The problem started perhaps one year ago, but was very seldom and did not occur with any alarming frequency. I would estimate that the computer froze maybe once or twice in a month - it was seldom enough that it took me a few months to begin noticing any correlation in what was causing the issue. Over the past year, the problem has grown, very slowly, and as more time passes the number of actions that cause the problem multiply. Six months ago I would maybe see it happen once a week. Three months ago perhaps twice a week. Now, it happens every day and I can reliably force the issue to occur if I just open a large image in photoshop and attempt to quickly do many things to it in a row until the computer blacks out.
I have not sent the laptop in to be fixed because I NEED this laptop. I am a self-employed residential designer and my work hinges on having access to Photoshop, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and many other graphics programs. However, the issue has now grown so that I am unable to work on this laptop...the amount of time I spend resetting the machine every time I overtax the graphics just makes it impossible to get anything done, so I now must send the machine in to be fixed.
I just would like some reliable estimates from people here who may have some idea of how long I will be without my machine. I do not trust the people in the store because they obviously have a bias and ulterior motives to get my business, they will most likely not give me an accurate answer. Every day without my laptop is a day without income. I apologize if this post is longer than necessary, my thought was that in order to give me an accurate time frame for repair, you would need a thorough description of the problem. Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Well, there's no defined turn around time with MacBook Pro repairs however, must will agree in this forum that repairs can take about 1-5 business days to be completed. All depends on how serious is your issue and what component needs to be replaced.
As for your black screen issue it seems that you are suffering from the well-known Black Screen bug issue in the mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. This issue has no other solution than to swap the Logic Board according to this Apple article.To determine whether your computer is suffering from the issue you need to go to the Apple Store and set up Genius Bar Appointment. Ask the Genius to run the "Mid 2010 MacBook Pro GPU Stress Test" it shoudlappear on the list of available tests when they connect your computer to the diagnostic servers. The test will determine whether you qualify for a free repair. If you do, they will either take the computer right away or set up another repair appointment that best suits your needs. If you are not covered by AppleCare prepare to fight off the obstructions that Apple will put to get you to pay the $600+ logic board repair, its just how they work.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
Please do not hesitate to ask further questions...
