Multiple companies in one database vs. multiple databases

Our company is going through an SAP B1 implementation. We develop\manage shopping centers, each their own lega entity, etc. To somewhat protect the financials, bank accounts, etc of each entity, we set each company up with its own database. We are currently up to 22 databases. Initially our consolidation plan relied on reports; however, the administration of the databases is more of a challenge than expected.
Does anyone have a feel for the pros\cons of consolidating these companies into one "segmented" database?
Thanks

If you have multiple legal entities / companies, I would rather recommend that you create multiple databases within the SAP Business One server. This will let you manage different users, layouts, Chart of Accounts (CoA), Business Partner codes and a host of other items that would be very difficult to do if you tried to lump them all into one company.
Of course, having to work at some form of consolidation reporting is no easy task, but I would suggest you try to standardise your CoA for all the other 22 companies as so they have the same headers / Account titles. This way, you can at least try a very basic report where you generate a TB from each company and pass it to Excel, and then work at some form of macro to draw / consol the 22 Trial Balance reports into one master copy.
If you have SDK access, you could try doing it via SDK or maybe look at other partners with consol add on's like http://www.citixsys.com/

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

Convert multiple rows to one row with multiple columns

Hi
i have a table Match_1 with 2 columns 'Source' and 'target'.One source can have multiple targets and that number could be anything
CREATE TABLE Match_1
Source CHAR(1),
Target CHAR(1)
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'B');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'C');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'D');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'E');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'Y');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'W');
COMMIT;
i need to get my output in the below format
Source     target 1     target 2     target 3     target 4          target n
A     B          C          D
V     X          Y          Z          W
Could you please provide me the required SQL.

What is your database version (4 digit) ? also my example won't be generate columns for your information:
it will produce a result like that :
select source, listagg(target,',') within group (order by target)
from match_1
group by source;
A     B,C,D,E
V     W,X,X,Yps: in previos post, I wrote "with" word wrong in sql.

How to get multiple elements into one element as multiple occurences

I can't figure out how to do this. I have an input message that has multiple elements and I need to take those elements and copy them into one element with each new element going in as a new occurence or instance. For example
I have this input under one parent node.
element1
element2
element3
element4
and this is the output I need
Node
Element1[0]
Element2[1]
Element3[2]
Element4[3]
The input XML looks like this
Payload
Element1
Element2
Element3
and the output XML needs to look like this
Payload
Element.
Thanks in advance

HT1495 Multiple logons for one computer and multiple devices trying to use one itunes account.

I have one computer with a logon for Kids and one for Adults. There is a touch and nano that was added to a single itunes account tied to my email on the adult logon and the shuffle that is on the kids account. I can't seem to get the multiple devices access to all the songs with out erase and re-sync error message when not using the right device on the assigned logon to the computer - why and can we change this?

It sounds like each Windows user has it's own iTunesLibrary.itl file. If that is the case, then you are correct, the correct device must be connected when logged in with the correct login.
If all Windows logins share an iTunesLibrary.itl file... then it does not matter which login is used or which device is connected.

Can I use multiple IDs for one iTunes and multiple devices

We have one family computer with iTunes, my older brother has an iPhone and I have an iPhone. A family ID was previously used to purchase songs for the family to share. My older brother has created an apple ID for his iPhone, and l have a yet unused apple ID. my brother downloaded songs etc onto the family iTunes that I would like to share, there are songs on the family apple ID that we would both like. Can you download purchases from multiple apple IDs into one iTunes account, then sync that data onto multiple phones that each have a separate ID? Is iTunes linked to one ID? Can purchases from multiple IDs be grouped together in our family account. Also do I Actually need a separate Apple for my iPhone to prevent private messages and contacts being shared?
Thanks for any advice

I forgot to add my iPhone is brand new and unused, and also that the iTunes account has non purchased songs on there. Can these be shared. As it is a new computer the purchases from the family ID have not been downloaded yet

Single sign on for multiple organization with one base application (multiple InssuerNameregistry)

1.
I am going to host this as a service and dont want to add IssuerNameRegistry in
web.config every time whenever i am adding new organization. I Need to pull the details from DB and set it dynamically (token, url etc). I tried to do that based on the return URL . But this fails because FederationConfiguration can be only updated in Application_Start
Event. I cant do that because i cant access my HTTPContext to know the return url in my App_Start.So
i kept a separate Config file and had all my authorities configured for all Organizations in it. But our client raising a question on security and the performance. Is it advisable to keep the sensitive data in XML for all the organizations and also we are
concerned about performance. if the return token go and read all the keys to validate against it’s token, will the system be Slow
Please advise me with some sample code to achieve this..
2. I tried to implement ValidatingIssuerNameRegistry but unable
to success since it is talking about updating the tenent id based on the Metadata.xml.
All i have is the following info for all the organizations
<authority name="http://test123.login.edu/adfs/services/trust">
<keys>            <add thumbprint="{Thumbprit}" />
          </keys>

Determining wether to implement on a single database or multiple databases.

Good Day Mentors,
Our company will be migrating from 2004B to 8.81. We currently have 2 databases. We wanted to know what are the things to consider before choosing wether to go one or multiple database. We are in F&B. The 2 databases purchase and sell the same items for most of the inventory.
I've already checked these links:
[Merge multiple separate companies (databases) into one]
[Re: Multiple companies in one database vs. multiple databases]
[Re: Setting up two companies on one database]
After reading those posts, I've listed these questions(this I'll be asking the users/management):
1.) Are the 2 databases, 2 business/legal entities?
2.) Is the Tax files separately for each subsidiary/company?
3.) Are the reports(P/L, balance sheet, etc) usually consolidated?
4.) Is it ok that the people can see all the BP's, GL accounts, Pricelists etc?
Are there till things I need to ask the management in order to make a wise decision on the matter?
Are there still pros/cons I need to raise up?
Thanks in advance!
Sean Yu

Hello,
1.) Are the 2 databases, 2 business/legal entities?
It will 2 business /Legal entities when you have registered your company in two different tax registration no.(PAN)
2.) Is the Tax files separately for each subsidiary/company?
Totally depend on how you registered your company in tax department .means if you have saparate tax reg no then it might be.
3.) Are the reports(P/L, balance sheet, etc) usually consolidated?
this option in optional it may be or may not be .
4.) Is it ok that the people can see all the BP's, GL accounts, Pricelists etc?
No, because data will very huge then user become confuse at the time of data entry(but we have solution for same without SDK)
Means totally depend that both company register in same tax no or two different tax no.
Thanks

One login for multiple applications

Hi,
I was using HTMLDB 1.6 and followed the following guidlines: one login multiple applications for one login to multiple applications. Basically I set the cookie name the same for both applications. It worked.
Now I've upgraded to HTMLDB 2.0 and this doesn't work anymore. I need to login to each application. Any way around this?
Thanks,

I have an SQL report region that includes this column:
decode((select count(*) from gr_agency_add f, gr_emp_add a where a.empid = g.userid and a.aid = f.aid and a.add_type = g.address_option), 0, '', '<a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:9:' || :APP_SESSION || '::::P9_GRID:' || g.GRID || ' target="_blank">') ||decode(trunc(length(g.topic)/30), 0 , g.topic || '</a>', substr(g.TOPIC,1,30)||'..') "Topic",
With the
target="_blank"
of course I am opening page 9 in a new window. I never had a problem with this but today, in a demo to some executives, the new window apparently came up with the login page and not page 9. Would this be due to a browser setting? Unfortunately, I don't have much info about the laptop they were using.
The demo was still a success!

Open multiple websites in one window

I would like to open multiple websites in one window with multiple tabs using VBA in Excel. My present code opens each website in a separate window.
Sub Weather()
' Look at weather websites
    Dim URL As String
    Dim ie As Object
    URL = "http://cleardarksky.com/c/AnaheimCAkey.html?1"
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.navigate URL
    Set ie = Nothing
    URL = "http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/wcir.html"
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.navigate URL
    Set ie = Nothing
    URL = "http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/92886:4:US"
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.navigate URL
    Set ie = Nothing
    URL = "http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=92886"
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.navigate URL
    Set ie = Nothing
End Sub

Hi,
It depends on your popup blocker (built-in or Addon toolbar), tabbed browser settings and IE security settings.
See general tab of Internet Options, Tabs button.
you can specify a target parameter in the navigate method to reuse the one IE window and open each site in a new tab (depending on your settings above).
window.navigate method
Regards.

Results of multiple queries in one report

Hi
I would like to create one report with multiple rows and each row should display result of a different query.
I guess I can use multiple report on one region or multiple regions in one place.
(1)However is there a more elegant way of creating a single report look and feel...eg like it would happen in excel.
(2)Is it better to have one page with multiple regions or multiple reports in one region.
Thanks
Faizi

I'm not sure if it suite your needs,
but maybe you can use UNION in your queries to get them together in one report ??
Second option:
Denes did great work and he created some how-to about putting mulitple reports in one region:

Hope this helps.

Combining multiple HDs into one big 'un

So I see where one can make multiple libraries and one can have multiple devices, multiple accounts etc etc... but here's my question. I have an external HD that is holding all my media and is running out of room... Is it possible to "daisy chain" some drives together (i.e. LaCie d2 Quadras, both at 320 GB) and have iTunes read this as one 640 GB drive? In essence so that when I open iTunes and proceed to play content, I don't have to switch out to get it to shuffle music around... I'll prolly end up buying a TB drive but I wanted to ask some of the more enlightened folk on the boards... 'preciate any info!
Cheers!

If you go into the iTunes preferences, you can set the location of the iTunes library. What isn't immediately apparent to most people is that this setting only sets the location of FUTURE additions to your library. Anything already in the library will remain where it is and continue to be accessed from that location.
So to answer your question, you can add an additional drive, point iTunes to a location on the new drive, and everything already in your library will stay on your current external drive. Anything new will be added to the new drive.
Once you get your BIG drive that can hold everything, you can change the location to that drive. NOW use the consolidate command which will then copy everything NOT in the current iTunes library location to that location. In other words, anything stored outside the currently set iTunes folder location will then be copied in there and the library updated to reflect the new location.
You can not delete the stuff off the other drives if you wish.
Cheers,
Patrick

11g Multiple Rpd on one BI server connecting to two different data marts

Hi
Did anyone tried and successfully implemented multiple rpds on one bi server. I have similar requirement in one of the clients place.
1. Install OBIEE 11g with vertical scaling( reason client doesnt want to spend extra money on additional server licenses) and would like to utilize the powerful existing servers.
2. Install 2 rpds on One BI Server and connect to two different datamarts.
3. Create two PS and provide two links to have two different reporting environments.
Appreciate with any pointers. I am very clear on Vertical Scaling and bumping up the Bi , PS and Java Hosts components. I saw a post with successful implementation of the same functionility in 10g and nothing in 11g. I already reviewed ritmanmeed blogs but did not give a complete picture of successfull implementation.

Importing CSV files into Multiple Tables in One Database

I have a web based solution using Microsoft SharePoint and SQL Server that is created to centralize dat collection and reporting of program metrics used in montly reviews.
A person from each program enters dat manual or by pushing the data using automated data import tools. The user then is able to generate reports and provide presentations to their stakeholders.
There are are programs that are located in US and 2 that are located in Japan. All, including programs in Japan use the MS Project with a plug-in tool that allows them to auto input data. When the user click the "Send To.." button, the data goes
in to multiple tables in one database.
Everything is set up exactly the same for every program; however, we have discovered becase of a firewall, along with some of the different settings that the MS Project has over in Japan, the 2 program users are not able to auto import their data.
The suggestion is to have the program users export the MS Project file into a CSV and email it. I will then take it and convert the data, such as the dates and place them on a Network Drive. There will be 2 folders, one for each program.
I feel it will be an easy process just to load the data from the Network Drive into the same tables that are created for auto import.
My Concerns/Questions:
1. Should I create 1 SSIS package or should there be 2, one for each program?
2. US and Japan program users send their data once a month. The converted files are going to be saved in the location marked with a date (ex:201402). How can i have it to where SSIS will automatically load the data every time i place new files in the designated
folders or when i update an exsisting file?
Can you provide an example with your suggestion please?
I greatly appreciate the assistance!
Y_Tyler

Hello Vikash,
Thank you! This will help me get started.
There will be 2 folders, one with files with Program A data and the other with files with Program B data. All will have the same fields, just coming from different programs. You stated that I will be able to to load both in one package. Would there be two
paths since there will be two separate folders?
Using the example you provided, i am confident that I can create the package using one path into one table but not sure how to get the files from 2 paths (if there is) into multiple tables.
Can you help clarify this for me?
Thank you!
