Latest developments in JAVA/J2EE

Hi,
Please tell me how do i keep track of latest developments in JAVA/J2EE technologies.

Please to keep watch on GMTV web site for latest news.

How do you keep your users/groups in sync with latest developments?

As there seems to be some reorganization happening with regards to the core system users and groups (with systemd develpment and whatnot) I feel somewhat uncertain about how I should set up my users, which are needed and so forth, seems every update of the filesystem package as of recent leaves me with changes to the users/groups in .pacnew files that needs careful merging to not screw up the system.
There is of course https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users however this is usually outdated (it currently only has one systemd user while the most recent passwd has five). Last time I broke my system was when I tried to apply changes suggested by the wiki page, rather then trying to figure out the changes from the .pacnew files).
Unfortunately I don't feel confident enough with the most recent changes to fix the wiki-page myself.
Right now my method is rather ad-hoc, I read the .pacnew files and make some guesses as to what users/groups in my files were added by other packages and should be left alone, and what users/groups were deleted/changed/added from the actual filesystem package because of changes in for example how the lastest version of systemd works. As I've made wrong guesses before, I feel there might be a better way to deal with this.
How do you do it?
What are the best sources of updated information for what currently is the best practice way to set up the core system users/groups?

I find it very helpful to know what has changed in the files from last update to the current, so I can see which of the differences to my files are from the package update and which are custom changes of other packages or myself. So I either compare a new *.pacnew file to the last one if I had saved it (what I do for some files), or I go and check the diff of the package update. To do that, I go to the package page for filesystem, click on View Changes under Package Actions, find the current version and follow its link. There one can see which files got what changes.
For example the filesystem 2014.07-1 update had a change in the group file, input:x:97: got added, and also some changes in gshadow.

Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Latest Developments

I have no insider information on the release of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13, but some parts of the world appear
to be publishing information on the new version (at this writing 12:30 am September 24, 20l4). Please refer to
Adobe announces Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13: Digital Photography Review
Based on the above, it looks like "Steady Shaky Footage" is being promoted as an enhance Stabilizer in Premiere Elements 13.
The article states that Adobe announced the release of the new version "today", and the article is dated September 24, 2014. But, I see
no evidence at this moment that Adobe has released the version here.
More news as it becomes available.

You can try to import the footage with the Trial version of Premiere Elements 13. .... We see that the GH4 footages match (H264 - 3840x2160 - 29.97 progressive). So we do not foresee any issues. Do let us know in any case.
Regards,
Premiere Elements Team
Thank you!
Through friends on a camcorder forum, I am gathering up some 4K footage from a couple of consumer cameras. For a short clip directly from a GH4, you can download a "focus test" of a very green bicycle here: https://vimeo.com/102737409
I'll need to install the Trial Version of 13 so will need to ramp up the courage to add software to a system that has been stable with Elements, Lightroom and some plug-ins for a few years. I will do my best to let you know how it goes. I'm tempted skip the test phase and get on with buying the upgrade and remodeling my system!
In the mean time, I found where an online friend that I may have once convinced to buy Premier Elements 11. When he bought a GH4 a few months ago, he upgraded to 12. He has written a detailed explaination of his process and includes reference to ATRomano. I'm pasting what he wrote on another forum as a possible guide to owners of 4K cameras.
"ATRomano is a neat guy. He has patiently given me alot of hand holding instructions about how to do various things with the PE12 program, whereas the other techs there often give unintelligible software-ease type answers. ATR does not seem to own a 4K camera, however, so he doesn't seem to have any first hand 4K editing experience with the PE program.
All GH4 4K/30fps videos I have shot have been recorded as MP4 files. On a Mac you just drag them into the PE 12 (and presumably PE 13) timeline. After editing you click on Publish & Share, click on Computer, then click on "AVCHD Use for exporting AVCHD". Then you click the Back button and this time click on 'XAVC-S Use for exporting XAVC-S". Then you click on MP4-H264 3840x2160 29.97 200 Mbps. Then you click on Advanced and make fine adjustments like selecting VBR 2-pass, bring the target bitrate down to 40-50 mbps if planning to upload to Youtube and also adjust your audio export settings. At this point you will have created a Preset that can be used in the future for rendering future 4K videos. The rendered 4K video will be a MP4 file just like the original was. The quality of the edited 4K video will still be excellent with not hardly any loss of detail and color depth as compared to the original that came straight out of the GH4. And the file size of the edited video will be similar to or slightly larger than the original."

Strange trends in the latest Apple media software upgrades

I used to have chapter selection menu in previous versions of iTunes. Now in iTunes 9 all that is gone. How can I find specific chapters in 1 hour long audio book part if there is no chapter menu??? Previous/Next Chapter shortcuts are not the best solution here - I have to go through all chapters one by one, and listen their titles, to find what I'm looking for. Visual menu is soooo much faster - two clicks and I'm done. Who came up with this stupid "downgrade" idea to remove chapter menu? I really don't understand where Apple is steering to with its latest software upgrades… New QuickTime player doesn't play audio or video automatically when I open something in it, as old player used to do - there's even no preferences to enable this feature! Now I have to press Play button - every time I open something! Stupid. Now there is no chapter menu in iTunes anymore, apparently to make audiobook listening more complicated. WHY??? What software engineers at Apple are smoking? I have been Apple fan for years, but these latest developments are just plain stupid. Will Apple remove Previous and Next buttons and playlists as well? Maybe leave just one Play button? PLEASE THINK what you are doing!!!

It's sad that Apple didn't even bother to explain this in iTunes Help! I searched in iTunes Help before posting here, but there is NOTHING about audiobook chapters… Searching for "chapter" fetches two results: "Buying Audiobooks" and "Creating your own audio CDs".
OK, Chapter menu looks nice, it's good invention, but it's too well hidden (it appears only when you really play audiobook file) that only a few will notice it. I didn't! Apple had to keep old-style chapter menu where it was - it was advertised in Jobs' keynote and many people know where to look for it. Chapter menu in the menu bar is OK, but I still prefer the old style - chapter list in the iTunes info area in the toolbar as soon as I play audiobook file. Otherwise soon you'll never know in which corner to look. Controls are all around iTunes. Some in the menu bar, some in the toolbar, some in the status bar, some in the info display in the center or the toolbar... It's getting messy.

Creation of new OracleConnection VERY SLOW in VS2008

Hi all,
I've only found one other post regarding this issue with the latest version of the oracle data provider (2.111.6.20) on the Oracle Developer Tools for VS Forum (at: Re: Need help troubleshooting extremely slow ODT speeds in VS 2005. Figured I'd post it here to see if anyone else is experiencing problems.
I've got VS2008 with the latest release of ODAC/Developer tools for VS installed and when I try to just create a connection object (i.e. OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection()), it is taking upwards of 45 seconds to create. Obviously this is unsuitable. Is this a known bug? If so, do I need to revert back to older version of OracleDataAccess assembly as stated in the aforementioned post?
I'm really looking for a solution with this version however, as I'm trying to work with some UDTs in Oracle and converting to custom types in .NET and from what I've read, this latest version is the only one that can do so. (correct me if I'm wrong).
Any information is appreciated!

Hi Greg. Indeed, it is the constructor, which seemed very strange to me. But, here's my latest developments... Guess I failed to mention what platforms I was running on, which I'm pretty sure probably had something to do with it. I had a development environment on both a Vista 64-bit, and a Windows Server 2008 (both VMWare virtual machines). Each had two oracle clients installed, both 11g (instant) and 10gR2 (full), as I needed the 10g client for Quest Code tester (entirely different issue!). Anyway, I'm fairly certain that neither of those platforms are officially supported, so most likely my fault.
I didn't run your test, but I had something similar set up as follows:
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace oratest
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection();
sw.Stop();
TimeSpan ts = sw.Elapsed;
Console.WriteLine(ts.Seconds.ToString());
The results printed ranged from 20-45 seconds!!!
So, I went ahead and created exactly the same setup on a Vista 32-bit virtual machine. Ran the same test and voila, 0 seconds. If your interested, I ran with the ts.Milliseconds.ToString() in the last line and it resulted in 611 milliseconds. So, I've moved my current project development environment to the new Vista 32-bit virtual machine and it seems to be working fine.
Just as a side bar however, I've also been doing quite a bit of development on a real (non-virtual) 64-bit Vista machine, and the new ODP has been working just fine. But, I have only the 11g client installed on that machine. Could it be confusion between the multiple versions? Platform issues? Both? Don't know myself, but am content enough to work in my new environment.
Cheers,
Aaron

Apple tried to help w/iPad crashes, but it's starting all over again.

I have done multiple resets, wipes, virtually everything suggested for the Safari crashes on this forum. No joy. Getting to a genius bar is physically difficult for me, so I finally contacted Apple via email and to their credit, they called me in less than 24 hours. After sharing my own rants with the first person I spoke with about the problems with ios 5, I was transferred to tech support. The tech person walked me through what I had experienced so far, and his first response was that we needed to determine if I was having a hardware or a software problem. He suggested that there might be a problem with the the original upgrade download file, so he walked me through deleting the "ipsw" file from the Library on my MacBook Pro. I did a complete wipe of my iPad 1, created a new iTunes library on my MacBook, re-downloaded the 5.0.1 update file and set up my iPad as a new iPad. I then tried things out with only the native apps installed, and used Safari for a couple of hours and everything seemed fine. I re-downloaded apps directly from the App store - I did not copy any apps from the old iTunes folder, just in case there were corrupted apps. This all happened almost 2 weeks ago and for awhile everything seemed fine. Then the crashes started up again, and have been accelerating in frequency over the past 3 days. This morning I've had two Safari crashes in one hour with nothing running in the task bar and only two tabs open in Safari. Other crashes have occurred when using the App store, email, and other functions, so it's not just Safari that's crashing. The main point that came out of all this is that IT'S NOT MY IPAD THAT'S THE PROBLEM, which tech support agreed with. I hope this info helps someone else at least determine if their iPad is functioning properly. I did finally turn on the Debug console in Safari and found out that Facebook plugins to different websites create many Safari errors. If anyone else has had experience with replacing the "ipsw" file and then doing a clean restore of their iPad, I'd like know how it worked/did not work for you.

I agree completely. I posted my experience in hopes of saving someone else a trip to the genius bar, and also to see if others had tried or been told to try this. I've read a lot of posts about wiping and restoring but no discussion about the original ipsw file download (sorry if I missed it elsewhere). It was clear from my discussions with Customer Service and Tech Support that Apple DOES read these discussions, so that was another factor in my posting. I did call the tech guy and leave him a message as to the latest developments -as per his request - but haven't heard back from him yet. During our original conversation he stated that he hasn't had any crashes on his iPad - good for him, but what does that mean for the rest of us? I pointed out to both reps that I've never seen it take so long to get a serious bug fix out of Apple.....all the stuff others are saying, with no really reassuring response from them that a fix is imminent. I hope each and every person experiencing this calls and calls Apple until something finally happens! The guys I dealt with were very nice, but I still have the same problems!! AND, I'm curious as to why things work o.k. for awhile after the restores, but then the crashes suddenly accelerate - this is my 4th try with the same results.

Bt as a whole are a disgrace to humanity

every single day i check here to see the latest developments in the ongoing hh5 problem. so many people with the exact same problem that has nothing to do with their personal settings. every day the same response: it's not our fault we fixed everything. you have not fixed anything and are quite simply a disgrace.

Introduction
The DocBook-utils are a collection of various utilites to
convert and analyse SGML documents in general and DocBook files
in particular. They are developped by many authors and released
under GPL licence.
DocBook
is a SGML-based or XML-based standard for writing technical
documentation defined by the DocBook Technical Committee of the
OASIS consortium.
The DocBook-utils try to be as general as possible, and
therefore it is possible to use them with other SGML formats
than DocBook, like TEI or HTML. But each time there was an
opportunity to make them biased to DocBook to ease the life of
DocBook users, this opportunity has been given a higher priority
than generality considerations. This is why this package is not
called "SGML-utils".
The DocBook-utils are independant of any existing distribution
of SGML parsers and of DocBook resources. However, they conform
with the new draft on SGML and DocBook standardization being
discussed at Linux Standard Base project.
So far, the DocBook-utils only consist of:
jw, a script used to convert
from DocBook or other SGML formats into "classical" file
formats like HTML, man, info, RTF...
sgmldiff, a script used to
compare the markup of a SGML file with its translation into
another language.
but we would like to see them accomplish other tasks in the future:
Conversion from "legacy" formats like LinuxDoc, man,
info, HTML or PDF into DocBook.
Refined analysis of DocBook files like a "sgmlgrep"
program that would allow context-sensitive searchs.
Support for XML.

Command reference
jw
1 converts DocBook or other
SGML-based formats into "classical" file formats.
The modular architecture used by
jw allows to write plug-in
programs (we call them backends and
frontends). The backends are specific to
output formats while the frontends are specific to input formats. We
would like to encourage you to write such programs and to submit
them to the docbook-utils project.
While most backends are based on Jame's Clark Jade, or its
OpenJade alternative, some of the backends make use of the programs
from the docbook2X project. We call these
helper programs.

is there any solution now?
Because i need doocbook-utils.
I hope so :-D

I do not want integration with IOS or iCloud

Hello,
I have a late 2010 27 inch iMac and a first generation iPad.
I foolishly installed Mountain Lion when it came out and have become increasingly frustrated and irritated with the emphasis on iCloud (I did not install that) and integration with IOS.
I do not like the way Safari operates in this OS nor the alterations to mail and other applications.
It seems to be very difficult to revert to Snow Leopard which is what I would prefer to do.
It also seems that Apple does not understand that some users just want to use a computer in the traditional way and have no interest in social networks or in integrating devices.
I have been using computers for 25 years and do know what I need.
Does anyone have a simple solution to reverting to Snow Leopard and ignoring these latest developments?
Everyone is urged to back up with Time Machine which is what I have always done - to an external drive. However, it seems this is useless when wanting to revert to SL as I do so that was a waste of time too.

How to be a Forms & PL/SQL Expert?

Hi Experts, I am very new to Oracle Forms and PL/SQL. I have been doing development in Forms (mostly in 10g but I also in 6i) and PL/SQL for little over 2 years.
My problem is, I don't know much about how to progress up the ladder to be an Oracle Forms & PL/SQL expert.
My other big problem is trying to find out how to keep pace with the latest development in Forms and PL/SQL.
For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil.
Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.
Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?
Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation.
How do you keep track of latest developments?
Are their any sites to go to?
Is there a routine you can follow?
Do you have to do R&D regularly? How often?
How many hours of reading web-sites (on Forms, PL/SQL stuff) should you do for a week?
How do YOU experts do it?
You advice would be greatly appreciated.

First of all I don't consider myself an expert, so my advice here might be flawed as they are based on my experiences ;)
Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?Frankly I hardly know how to write a file using text_io or utl_file, or use some other somewhat regular-use supplied packages without looking them up in the documentation. Well I somehow know, but the code will most certainly throw compile errors. This is due to the fact that the entire oracle documentation is huge, and there are version dependend manuals, and I never liked memorizing things I could easily look up. It just doesn't make sense to memorize entire documentations when you can look them up. So even for basics I go to the web...
For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil. So in the end you found a solution yourself didn't you?
Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.I am around forms a few years, and I don't know an ad-hoc answer to that. I might have a clue, but for a advice I'd have to try and most certainly consult google.
Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation. And you know at least where to start now even if you didn't solve the problem, don't you?
When I started programming C/C++ in school we had a teacher who I consider a C-Guru. Sometimes the answer to how would I implement X? was I don't know exactly yet, but let me do some research and I'll show you. Needless to say that we certainly got our answers. The same guy taught Java with the opening phrase I don't know much about Java, but it is Object-Oriented, the Syntax is C like,and the documentation is quite extensive. He explained things better to us then others who asserted knowing Java.
IMHO curiosity and being keen to experiment are much more valuable then the ability to memorize manuals and APIs. You might solve your problems with your actual knowledge today, but tomorrow there are new challenges which require new knowledge to be accumulated.
If you face a problem don't hesitate to get your hands dirty. If a program doesn't do what it's supposed to do fire up the debugger, look at diagnostic infos and see why it fails instead crying about that you don't know why. If you need to learn a new language install the compiler, and write code until it compiles and does what you want it to do. If you need to work with the new asdf server enterprise edition install it, turn it upside down, blow it's config into pieces until it stops working and maybe get it running after that.
Everything else boils down to showing an active interest in the things you do. There is no formula saying "spend X hours a week on asktom and eventually become a database expert". I regularly (can't say how often) visit asktom because I like reading the questions there. I don't do it because I must or want to become an expert someday, it is simple curiosity.
As for places to look this is answered easily: the key source for informations on new products is the vendors homepage. It's OTN for oracle, MSDN for microsoft, ubuntu.com for ubuntu, and what ever else. Technical articles etc. about the products are at least listed there.
Of course in software development there is (at least) one rule which always applies:
always write code as if the person who will maintain your code is a maniac serial killer that knows where you live
cheers

Learning Portal for SAP LSO

Hi,
We are implementing SAP Learning Solutions in our org.
According to the information i read in the forum, apart from the R/3, Learning Portal is used on EP.
My understanding is :
The Learnign Portal is the entry point for Learners in SAP LSO. And one has to call the BSP application "HCM_LEARNING" from EP through a BSP iView and it will call the Learning Portal of LSO.
This learnig portal has features like,
Searching the course catalog, Book/cancel course participation etc.
is my understanding correct ?
I also want to know Is there any Web Dynpro for ABAP component also involved in Learning Portal or the BSP application HCM_LEARNING itself takes care of all the functionalities.
Please help.

Hi Rohit
Difference: SAP Learning Solution - Training and Event Manag
All of the settings required for the SAP Learning Solution are contained under SAP Learning Solution in the sections Training Management and Learning Portal and Authoring Environment.
The activities in the sections that follow do not apply to the SAP Learning Solution, but to Training and Event Management
LSO contains many additional functionalities and the portal is based on BSP Application.
In Authoring Environment, you can create course content or import the SCORM based contents in the same for playing in the content player. You have the options of offline player etc.
Customize the followup functions.
There is no Webdynpro involved in the learning portal however in EHP4 and above, the webdynpro is used in the
administrator portal and instructor portal and there are many new functionalities being added in EHP4 and above which is the latest developments.
Learning portals in all the releases is based on BSP Application HCM_LEARNING.
Below releases, you can have the ESS integrated via PV7i and PV8i.
Rest you can refer SAP help websites:
For TEM -
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/77/bff8ab4a2911d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
For LSO -
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/b8/b56c3c50ac854ce10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
This will help you understanding the concepts in more details.
Hope this helps.

ECC WMS vs Decentralized-WMS vs SCM - Extended-WMS. Confusing SAP Strat

Have a Question ... pertaining to SCM-EWM = Extended Warehouse Management Functionality in SCM.
I am raising this under SCM out of not sure which Forum this belongs to.
I knew WMS Functionality that is part of erstwhile R3 4.6, 4.7 and now ECC 6 Releases.
Back in 2003-2004 also came "Decentralized WMS" which was the same thing, but WMS implemented
on a Separate Server integrated to R3 via IDOCs/BDOCs.   It had additional functionality of TRM (Task & Resource Mngt)
which I know as my team has implemented in my earlier job as SCM Manager.   At that time there was no WMS inside of SCM (primarily APO).
I am now quite confused with the "Extended WM" functionality that has come as part of SCM along with APO.
- What is the reason for coining EWM ? Architecture seems similar to D-WMS.   Is this meant to be a 'Replacement' for D-WMS ?
- I am reading this EWM having functionality similar to D-WMS (eg : TRM, Cross Docking, RFID) ... so it
   appears to be the same ... except now I am reading it has functionality called 'Slotting', 'Rearrangement',
'Transportation Cross Docking", "EH&S Integration" ... all honestly very confusing to me.
- Is it that SAP will now do all the Latest Developments around WM only in the "EWM" module & slowly phase out WMS in ECC ?
Thought someone might know. This confuses me a lot & I as Head SCM am unable to give the Right Opinion to our Customers on where to head for Warehouse Management.
Regards,
Ambrish Mathur

Thanks for responding. But please bear with me for the confusion that still exists.
If I am looking to recommend to a Large Customer who is in Manufacturing or Consumer Products or Automotive/Service Parts or Pharmaceutical Domain who typically Manufacture Finished Goods Inhouse and then Distribute it from Mfg. Plants to Regional Warehouses to Local Warehouses in a Country or across countries to sell to some Distributor or Retail Store for selling it to the Consumers. In such an Environment most of the Warehouses need to be WMS Managed - particularly big ones where RF Automation is also needed. Some even track Handling Units and need to Track Plant Batches so usually Implement HUM / SUM and Batch Management along with WMS to allow Pallet Tracking.
If I were to recommend to such customers which WMS to choose for their SAP Landscape, it is a Confusion of Giant Proportions esp. when deciding between Decentralized WMS Server (i.e : WMS not in ECC but in a separate R/3 which was primarily given by SAP to avoid Performance Issues in the Core Operations in ECC - Batch Management, HUM & WMS can be very Performance Intensive) or use the SCM-EWM Functionality. I want to give a Recommendation that is Futuristic. Why does SAP need to keep both - D-WMS as well as SCM-EWM ?
Bear in mind that EWM is different in Terminologies from D-WMS or ECC-WMS in the sense that the "Transfer Orders" in ECC or D-WMS and they are called as "Warehouse Orders" in SCM-EWM so have different SAP Trainings . In both 'Deliveries' for Sales/POs/STOs get "Distributed" from the Executional ECC System to the EWM/D-WM system to manage Warehouse Picking, Putaway & eventually GI / GR. D-WMS exchanges information with Central ECC Orders via Middleware which is IDOC/BDOC based while I am not sure if EWM uses CIF of SCM or has a different Interface with ECC.
D-WMS & SCM-EWM both run in a Decentralized Fashion to take care of Performance Issues with implementing WMS in the Integrated ECC Environment which I do not recommend for Companies wanting to implement a Lot of WMS.
So the Confusion very much exists between what to recommend between D-WMS & SCM-EWM to a Customer like above with a Futuristic Outlook in mind. It does not make sense for SAP to keep both.
What do you recommend for above-like Customers ?
Where do SCM-EWM Trainings happen (seem to be still not common) ... can you refer me ? I cannot see them in the India/Asia SAP Training syllabus.
I want expert help to make a recommendation.

Ambrish Mathur

Deploymnent of EJB only when first accessed?

Hi,
We are developing a large application with 200+ EJBs ( around 50 Session Beans and 150 Entity Beans) and we are facing some problems on development times due to deployment time every time we need to start the server to test latest developments.
We are using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and it about 10-12 minutes to deploy all the EJBs and then start the application initialization process.
I was wondering if there is any option that can be set to only deploy the EJBs when they are first accessed by the application. As we are not making performance tests at this stage, the extra time that would be required per operation wouldn't be an issue and development would be easier as server start-up times would be very smaller.
Any idea/suggestion will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Rui Campos

Hello,
It is not an existing feature of OC4J, I do not know if any app server supports this, this could be quite 'dangerous' if you have some dependencies or compilation error that you raised during runtime instead of deployment time.
As you may know the EJB compilation has been a lot improved in OracleAS 10.1.3.x, and Oracle is working to provide a "pre-compilation" tools that will allow the EAR to generate all the EJB artifact and compile them before deployment to improve the deployment time.

Incoterms (help me)

Hi Guru
could pls tell me incoterms, iam using FOB, if any other incoterms i want to including means,how can it will work and what are thing is there?
regards
Mohammed Renu.I
[email protected]

Hi Mohammed Renu
Incoterms are standard trade definitions most commonly used in international sales contracts. Devised and published by the International Chamber of Commerce, they are at the heart of world trade.
Among the best known Incoterms are EXW (Ex works), FOB (Free on Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight), DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), and CPT (Carriage Paid To).
ICC introduced the first version of Incoterms - short for "International Commercial Terms" - in 1936. Since then, ICC expert lawyers and trade practitioners have updated them six times to keep pace with the development of international trade.
Most contracts made after 1 January 2000 will refer to the latest edition of Incoterms, which came into force on that date. The correct reference is to "Incoterms 2000". Unless the parties decide otherwise, earlier versions of Incoterms - like Incoterms 1990 - are still binding if incorporated in contracts that are unfulfilled and date from before 1 January 2000.
Versions of Incoterms preceding the 2000 edition may still be incorporated into future contracts if the parties so agree. However, this is course is not recommended because the latest version is designed to bring Incoterms into line with the latest developments in commercial practice.
The English text is the original and official version of Incoterms 2000, which have been endorsed by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). Authorized translations into 31 languages are available from ICC national committees.
Correct use of Incoterms goes a long way to providing the legal certainty upon which mutual confidence between business partners must be based. To be sure of using them correctly, trade practitioners need to consult the full ICC texts, and to beware of the many unauthorized summaries and approximate versions that abound on the web.
ICC now publishes a brief introduction to Incoterms on a new special section of its website. The section does not provide all the answers but will help understanding of what Incoterms are for and how they are organized. We describe how to order Incoterms in the original English version and many of the world's main languages from ICC Publishing in Paris and New York, or ICC national committees around the world.
The site includes for the first time the Preambles to each term, in read-only format. The Preambles explain the areas the terms cover but do not spell out the obligations of buyer and seller - information that can be obtained only by consulting the full published texts of the 13 Incoterms.
As the guardian and originator of Incoterms, ICC has a responsibility to consult regularly all parties interested in international trade to keep Incoterms relevant, efficient and up-to-date. This is a long and costly process for ICC, which is a non-governmental, self-financed organization. The work is financed out of sales of Incoterms 2000 and related publications, which are protected by copyright.
The Types of INCOTERMS ARE:
EXW EX WORKS (named place)*
FCA FREE CARRIER (named place)
FAS FREE ALONGSIDE SHIP (named port of shipment)*
FOB FREE ON BOARD (named port of shipment)
CFR COST AND FREIGHT (named port of destination)
CIF COST, INSURANCE AND FREIGHT (named port of destination)*
CPT CARRIAGE PAID TO (named place of destination)
CIP CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE PAID TO (named place of destination)*
DAF DELIVERED AT FRONTIER (named place)*
