Need answers for some basic question

The Informatica server software usually runs on some server machine.The client tools usually run on those Windows PC with which developers to their work. That's a pretty much standard client/server architecture.On Windows servers you will often (not always) find the client tools as well, but that's by no means mandatory.Communication between PowerCenter clients and PowerCenter server usually takes place via TCP/IP; the protocol, as far as I know, has been developed by Informatica in-house app. in 1993-1995. The installation of the server software usually is the task of some server administration team. You will also need some DBA team because the Informatica software (almost) always stores its controlling, scheduling, and runtime information in some relational database system. Importing of relational structures (meaning table and view structures) usually is done on a client PC which connects to the respective source and/or target DBMS via ODBC.The server uses either native database client installations (for Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and Sybase) or ODBC to communicate with the source / target databases. Best thing is that you download the documentation and start browsing the Installation and Configuration Guide; this PDF file explains quite a few concepts fairly well. Regards,Nico

Hi, 1) a server installation is a server installation and nothing else. It also contains some clients (namely the command-line client tools), but definitely not the GUI clients (this is an extra installation always to be done on a Windows PC as of this time).2) That depends on your business processes. Sometimes files will be placed in some directory (e.g. /opt/transfer/inp) and then the respective workflow shall start, so it might read this file directly. If some business user can only deliver via email, then you will need an extra process which extracts the file(s) from the email and places them somewhere where the server processes can access them.3) Unix is a computer operating system. Windows is a computer operating system. They are just in use in different cases (at least often). Some basic Unix knowledge (about the most common system tools and a bit of shell scripting) is definitely useful / necessary if you want to work with Unix systems.4) A data warehouse stores information which usually is needed for enterprise-wide strategic business decisions. A server is a machine offering software services. One kind of servers are database servers, and data warehouses usually (not always) are stored in a databases. So some sort of server is the technical basis for a data warehouse.5) Usually these two terms are identical in meaning.6) Unix is an operating system. A shell is a program which enables you to interact with a Unix system. Shell scripting means that you automate moderately complex or highly complex tasks using a programming language which is provided by the shell. Different shells offer different scripting facilities and features. Writing a shell script is a matter of programming. Your questions are by no means stupid. They just show that you still have a lot to learn, but that's ok, we all should try to learn more as long as we live. Regards,Nico

how to set title bar?
can we keep a tab strip in a tab strip?
how?

->>>at most 16 primary keys can b there in a table
->>>use SQL trace ST05 transaction to see tables used in a prg
->>>to set title bar use set title bar
SET TITLEBAR f.
Extras:
1. ... OF PROGRAM prog
2. ... WITH g1 g2 ... gn
Effect
Sets the title of a window.
You create these program-specific titles using the Menu Painter. If there is a text for title ID f, this is displayed in the title bar of the window, starting from the next time the screen changes.
The return value SY-SUBRC shows whether the system found an entry.
SY-SUBRC = 0:
Entry found
SY-SUBRC = 4:
Entry not found
If the statement occurs in an external subroutine, the system sets a title for the main program that called it. However, in a function module, the system sets a title for the fucntion group (but see also the addition OF PROGRAM ...).
Once you have set a title, it remains active within the transaction until the next SET TITLEBAR statement.
After SET TITLEBAR, the field SY-TITLE contains the current title.
SY-TITLE is 70 characters long. Longer titles are not permitted.
Notes
The contents of field f are converted into a value of type C with length 20 (according to the standard conversion rules). The system uses this value to search for the required title. You should therefore use a field with type C, to avoid unnecessary conversions. For example, the system would derive the key ' 9 ' from a type I field with value '9'.
You can use a namespace prefix with titles.
Addition 1
... OF PROGRAM prog
Effect
The system does not search in the GUI of the main program of the current program group for f, but in the program specified in the field prog.
Example
DATA PROG LIKE SY-REPID.
PROG = 'TESTPROG'.
SET TITLEBAR 'ABC' OF PROGRAM PROG.
This example sets the title 'ABC'for program 'TESTPROG'.
Addition 2
... WITH g1 g2 ... gn
Effect
The WITH addition allows you to use up to 9 parameters in the title. You address these in the title as variables &1 to &9. Additionally, any single & characters are replaced from left to right with the contents of the corresponding parameter (the first ampersand with the first parameter following WITH, and so on). If you want to put an ampersand as a character in your title, you must double it (&& is output as &).
If a parameter is missing, its corresponding variable is replaced by a space.
Given the maximum length of 70 characters (length of SY-TITLE), it is possible that your title can be truncated if you use WITH.
Example
DATA: PAR1(4) VALUE 'par1',
PAR2(4) VALUE 'par2'.
SET TITLEBAR 'ABC' WITH PAR1 PAR2 'par3'.
Given a title "ABC" as follows:
"Title & &1&3 some_text & &2 && & &4",
the example would produce a title bar like this:
"Title par1 par1par3 some_text par2 par2 & par3 ".
Note
You can combine both of these additions. Note, then, that the ... OF PROGRAM addition must come before WITH.

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Some basic questions on File Adapter

Hello all,
I have some basic questions on XI and File Adapter and hope you can help me. Any answer is appreciated.
1. Can I use NFS transport protocol to poll a file from a machine in the network, which is not the XI? Or do I have to use FTP instead?
2. If I understand it correctly - when using the FTP-File Adapter, XI has the role of a ftp client. I have to run a ftp server on my distant machine. XI connects to FTP-Server and polls the file.
Can it also be configured the other way round? The scenario I think of would be: FTP client installed on distant machine, which connects to FTP-Server(XI) and loads up a file. So XI would act as FTP Server.
I know this works, if I install a ftp Server on the computer my XI runs on, and use the NFS-File Adapter to observe the folder. But I want to know, if I need a second, independant ftp server for this.
3. And last but not least: When do I need the active ftp mode instead of passive?
Thanx a lot for your answers!
Ilona

XI cannot act as FTP server, but it is always a client. When XI is reading (File sender adpater) when XIis writing than it is File Receiver adapter

It depends on your firewall configuration. The best and the fastests is active mode but not always available.

Some basic question about SCM Installation

Hi Folks,
Could you please advice me about some basic questions about SCM and its installation -
Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
I know these are some basic questions, but these will help me give me a direction.
With best wishes,
Krishna

Hello Krishna -
Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
---> There are various Modules in SCM Like APO (Sub Modules DP (stand alone), SNP Needs Master data from R/3 and has to pass on transactional Data to R/3, PPDS same as SNP, GATP same as SNP), ICH needs Data from R/3 to work with. Core Interface (CIF) connects R/3 to APO for transferring data.
Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
-->For thorough understanding explore the following links
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm41/helpdata/en/9b/954d3baf755b67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/9b/954d3baf755b67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
-->Refer Above
Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
--> APO comes with a small BI inbuilt functionality. you can only perform certain functions using that BI.
Hope this helps.

Here is some bad luck.
I forgot the answers for my security questions. I want to buy an app in the app store but Apple keeps asking me these questions I can't remember the answers to. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?
I tried to create my old email address again, but funny enough it told me that specific email address was already taken....

Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

Hi Experts,
This is the first time I am going to deal with
ESS and MSS.
I have some basic questions about it and they are
listed below:
1. In an organization if they want to integrate
ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
is, will they install the packages in the R/3
system and then use the to portal features to
make iViews of ESS and MSS.
2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
and the R/3 system
3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
MSS applications, if yes how?
4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
Please do let me know on these subjects and also
if anyone of you have any links or documents
associated with this scenario please do send me.
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Hi,
here is what I know..
1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
ent
4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
You can find all the different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

Suresh Datti

Some basic questions on HANA

Hi All,
I have some basic questions on SAP HANA,
I heard from one of my colligues that it is mandatory to learn SQL scripts for HANA, is it true?
Or basic knowledge is enough for HANA???
Is it added advantage while working on HANA or can we manage with basic knowledge of SQL???
I tried to find answers for these questions in SCN, but I could not get proper answers, So could you please provide answers for above my questions.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat Kalla

Hi Vladmir,
SAP HANA is a platform and is more than just database. Which can serve both OLTP and OLAP.
But since it is a database, Sp SQL skills helps you while modelling in SAP HANA. So When will it be helpful ? It is while addressing some complex requirements using SAP HANA.
At the end of the day, when you want to work in HANA ( a super duper database ) and you still thinking of whether to learn SQL or not?

Some basic questions about DAC

Hello
I am just starting to use DAC now and I have some basic questions about DAC..
1: How many different kinda image tables are there, what are they used for?
2: In order to check which ETL mapping with in the same execution plan is taking a long time, what to do? I mean is there a table that stores such info?
3: How to determine which ETL task to run after and which after?
4: Is subject area always map to the Informatica workflow folder? Or what should subject area be?
Please shed some lights on it, deeply appreciate!
Thanks

Hi,
I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
Hope this helps
Martin
