I want to learn MDM

Hi..Friends,
I am having 2 years exp on SAP XI. i am planing to learn MDM , is it suggestable or not. pls suggest me
Thanks,
Pasi.

Hi Pasi,
MDM stands fro Master data Management and it is used to import the master data from various source systems, cleans it, manages it, governs it and export the data back to the source systems.
Hence, there is a lot integration involved when it comes to MDM. And sometimes when the format of file exchange is not same between MDM and the other systems, a middle war is required. And as you have experience in XI, you can always use that knowledge in MDM scenarios and projects.
So, by extending your knowledge bank to MDM, you can become very valuable in the market. Also, as companies will be moving to ESOA, MDM will become more important in the landscape as MDM is the base for ESOA.
MDM is a hot cake in the market and I would adive you to go with it. Please refer to some very useful links which are very useful for people who are thinking of learning MDM. The links answer important questions such as How is career in MDM and how to learn MDM etc.
Please go through these links below for better understanding:

I want to learn MDM, i have good knowledge in SAP BI.

Hi All,
Please answer my below questions
1 ) MDM has Coding or do we have only navigation.
2 ) Is programming knowledge is essential for MDM.
3 ) How is the future for MDM.
Thanks in advance.

Nithi.

Hi Nithi,
1 ) MDM has Coding or do we have only navigation.
2 ) Is programming knowledge is essential for MDM.
3 ) How is the future for MDM.
1. MDM has no coding in it. However, we can use ABAP or Java API's etc, for additonal functionalites. But for MDM, no coding is required.
2. MDM is basically a configuration based tool. There is a lot of modeling which is done according to the requirement.We have 4 GUis' namely Console, Import Manager,Data manager and Syndicator. We can get them installed and access the MDM server via them.
3. MDM is a hot cake in the market right now as companies are thinking of moving into ESOA and for that MDM will be the base of it as you need to have clean Master data to achieve ESOA.
For additonal info, pl go through the link below:

Want to learn iPhone Programming on 10.5 PPC, can i do this?

I want to self teach my self to program iPhone applications, i have no programming experience so inwill be starting from scratch. I have got the book 'Objective-C For Absolute Beginners' but before I begin I wanted to check I can learn using my system. I have a iMac G4 PPC running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard which means I cannot run the latest version of Xcode. Is the latest version of Xcode that can run on 10.5.8 and on a PPC machine okay for me to practice and learn how to use Xcode and program for the iPhone? Because I don't have the money but when I can afford it I will upgrade to an intel computer maybe in a years time. But will it do for now?

AndiWhitts wrote:
Yes that's what I'm after, so writing program's for my mac is similar to iPhone app development only with a different UI ect.? and they definitely both use Objective-C? And the current Xcode I got with my leopard install will have everything I need won't it.
There are definitely some similarities. The lower-level libraries are very similar. At the application level, and the UI architecture level, they are significantly different.
I just wanted to make a start before I get an intel mac but I didn't want to learn it all then have to start from scratch when I get an intel mac because it is completely different.
You wouldn't start from "scatch" because it wouldn't be "completely" different. You would be starting near the beginning because it is 70% different.
If you want to start with the machine you have, focus on writing Mac apps. In a year, maybe you might have something that you could port to Xcode4 and release in the App Store.
Any machine made since 2007 will run Lion.

For all the newbies who wants to learn Java

I was a newbie like 4 months ago. i have some skills of OOP in C++ like 2 years back but since then i did'nt took any of programming language courses. I have experience in MSaccess and MYsql. i did my internship Last summer with Tennessee Education Lottery as a Database Analyst. At that time i realized what a Corporate Enviorment looks like. Trust me it was a formal interview and i passed it and they placed me in the IT department to write some scripts for the GUI terminal and at the same time create a Company Security Database. i did completed my project but i had to Learn Mysql. and then i realized Java was getting very popular. alot of people told me in the forums to go Java tutorial but i will not agree to start from the sun tutorial. you can do it only if you have a good or may be medium experience of OOP. it was really tough for me and then this magic guy came on the forum and told me to go on this website if you want to learn Java.
http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/cs151java.html
This site is a brilliant site specially the exercise problems and the quizes really attracted me to Java alot and now i came to realize how easy it is to program in Java rather than C++. Java forums have helped me alot in solving those exercise problems (not with the code but with a good explanation) which was very helpful for me. out of my 210 post i guess i have helped 30 people out and the rest of the questions are regarding those exercises. i came to know encapsulation, inheritance and all that stuff. though i am still not very perfect like i am still having trouble with ComparTo thing but it takes more practice. the more you practice the more you learn. so all the newbies if you really want to learn java even if you dont have any experience in OOp this is the site where you need to start. Hope this will definitely help you alot. thanks to all the Senior members navycoder, captain, paulcw, duffy, turingpest and others also who have helped me in the past. without you i would have not achieved the goal of learning java. now my next step is going to be learn GUI programming Swing. looks fun to me. but at the same time i have my final project for this semester to make on ONline Testing program which will have a database, php scripting and html and xml.
I will post if i have any problems

I want to Learn webcenter

I want to Learn Oracle WebCenter.
Please guide me.
I have jdeveloper 11g(11.1.2.3.0) installed.
Thanks,
Dilip

What steps have you taken so far?
There are Oracle University classes that are quite good.
There are many blogs out there that are quite good.
There is the Oracle.com WebCenter homepage that contains the documentation, software, and community links. It is also quite good.
There are many resources available to start learning, but you must take the first step and read. Read the blogs, read the forums, but most of all, read the documentation. At least the summaries and table of contents to see where information is. When you need to answer a question, to to the manual. Chances are, there's a walkthrough just waiting to be followed.
Here's a quick starter:

Want to learn more

hi all!
I am a B.Tech 2nd year student. I know the basics of JavaSE.....upto
multi threading. But now as gain more I want to learn more java applications.
At present i am going through course of Data Structure and Algorithms.
now i want to learn jsp, xml, and basics of some of java applications.
So, i want to know how i can start....what i should do.....i'm very confused.....plzz help me...........

There are some things you can do:
1. stick to the client side and
- try programming a simple app that makes life easier for you in some way
- extend it to store some data to a JDBC database (try mysql for the first run)
- IF THAT RUNS, try some more sopohisticated persistence frameworks like hibernate.
- try Eclipse RCP, another client-side programming model apart from swing.
2. try server side / J2EE, BUT
- restrict to do plain servlets the first time, no struts, no JSP, no DataSources, no files, JAAS, JMS / clustering / spring. Got it?
- ONLY LEARN ONE TECHNOLOGY AFTER ANOTHER. j2EE is painful until you know what you do.
- dont use jboss, dont use websphere. For the first some projects, use plain-old Tomcat.
- after the first some running server apps, read a J2EE patterns book.
Path 1 is the easy, painless one. path 2 is the big world, hence cumbersome, painfull and wealthy, and you will learn Path 1 "on the run", but its hard work.

Want to learn about Apex..!!

Hello Everybody,
I want to know much about apex. Can somebody please guide me.
Here's why i want to learn apex.
I want to design one application which opens in web browser, i want to implement it on my local PC, i am using Vmware (Red Hat Linux enterprise 4 OS) as my server, Database is Oracle 10gR2 on server, i have one database created on it.
For practice i have one package that has HTML code in it and i want to run that package on web browser, I ran that package before in my company using Apache with mod_plsql cartridge by setting up Dad configuration..
I want to try it on my local PC. My question is do we have to install Apache with mod_plsql or just installing APEX will work in this case...???
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Regards
-Harsh.

Hi,
if you don't want to go for 11g - try 10g Rel.2 -
my recommendation:
1. Install the Oracle DB
2. Download the "Companion CD", which has APEX and an OHS Oracle Http Server = Apache WITH the MOD-PLSQL integrated in it.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
looks as follows:
Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
- 10201_companion_win32.zip (653,693,751 bytes) (cksum - 3264572193)
- Download latest Oracle Application Express (formerly HTML DB)
When you start the Installer of the Compnaion CD you get the option of installing TOGETHER : APEX and OHS/Apache
Do that ! - and its an hassle free install both installed ready to go (watch the url which is given in the status window at the end of the install and make a note).
The APEX/Apache install takes areound 18 min. - be patient !
TIPP: make a note of the user/pwd you used, because you need this exactly when upgrading.
Later you can easily upgrade to the latest APEX version (Downlaod as above mentioned).
Hope that assisted !
Bernhard

Want to learn about internals of DMLs

Hi friends,
I want to learn more about internals of DMLs so that i develop a good understanding of the way oracle architecture works to become strong in basics.
I don't know exactly how to do it.
Right now i am studying:Chapter 9: Redo and Undo (Expert oracle database architecture- Tom Kyte)
Next i am planning to study "Oracle Core Essential Internals -by Jonathan lewis)?
My questions to all:
1. Where should i go from here, what should i study/practice etc?
2. Am i going in the right direction currently?
Thanks,
Kunwar

You are surely in 100% correct direction because you are reading the books which millions of DBAs reads.
In addition to these great books, I would like to mention below links to make your direction more good :

and below link where HJR has given good post :
