Needed clarification for Synonyms

Hi experts,
I have some private synonyms created under user A and the same synonyms exist as a PUBLIC owner.
Now some packages and procedures which are referring to these private synonyms(of A) are under running state. (Procedures are executing).
I want to drop those private synonyms as they are as a PUBLIC also.If i drop these private synonyms will it affect the procedure execution.
Will it allow me to proceed to drop those ....?
Do i need to recompile the object codes once again after dropping?

Hi,
You can drop Private Synonyms as long as there are public Synonyms. No need to recompile. As this will have impact only at the run time.

Need clarification for these names, R/3, WAS, NetWeaver

Hi All
I posted the question on WAS preview installation, then I realized I should have put it here. Here is the link to that post:

Hi Xueqing,
First of all, sorry for any confusion that we have caused you. I hope I can give you an answer that will clear up the confusion. Sorry, but it is a long explanation of the development of two application solution but history tends to be very long winded!
It is not true SAP R/3 Enterprise equals SAP Web AS, and I'll hopefully explain why:
In the beginning (at least in the client server world) SAP only ship SAP R/3. The technology layer under SAP R/3 was called SAP Basis. There was only SAP Basis under SAP R/3.
SAP then started to deliver other software solutions that were not included in or built on the SAP R/3 software. These included SAP Business Information Warehouse, SAP APO, SAP SEM, SAP CRM, and the list goes on.
These solutions needed to run on technology layer (like SAP R/3 did). SAP Basis was the obvious choice for this because of the common technology layer providing DB/OS abstraction and a coding environment.
~2001:
Later there came the need to have SAP Basis support the web and its web standards and other programming languages. This radically changed what SAP Basis was and we decided to rename the new technology layer to SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS). So the SAP Basis name was retired and SAP Basis 4.6D was the last release called SAP Basis.
The new release and the "technology change" means that all the applications mentioned above now ran on SAP Web AS. The first release of SAP Web AS was 6.10.
~2002:
SAP Web AS was first used in SAP R/3 Enterprise release .
The important fact is that SAP R/3 Enterprise runs on SAP Web AS. SAP R/3 Enterprise = SAP R/3 business applications + new business functions + SAP Web AS.
~2003:
I hope the above explanation is clear, because technology takes another major change. It was realized that SAP now had a collection of business solutions/applications (SAP R/3, mySAP CRM, mySAP SCM, etc) and a collection of technology solutions (SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP EP, etc). The technology requirements for the business solutions did not end at SAP Web AS, they needed portal, data warehouse, knowledge management capabilities, etc to develop business solutions on.
To address this SAP made the decision to combine all the technology solutions and tools into one single platform. This made complete sense for developers (SAP, Partners and customers). This single platform is called SAP NetWeaver. It includes all the old individual components of SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP KM, SAP EP, etc).
~2004:
I think you can guess what the next step is. Yes, the new release of SAP R/3. Since the release of SAP R/3 Enterprise and the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP R/3's name changes. It is now called mySAP ERP as it includes a lot of applications that were previously sold separately (like SAP SEM, MSS, ESS, etc).
So now mySAP ERP runs on SAP NetWeaver (yes everything that was in SAP Basis and then in SAP Web AS is still there but SAP NetWeaver has so much more now).
Also with the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP starts to stop using the old technology component names - you will not hear us talk about SAP Web AS, SAP BW, etc anymore, just SAP NetWeaver releases.
In addition all the other SAP business applications also run on SAP NetWeaver, so the latest version of mySAP CRM, mySAP SRM, and mySAP SCM all run on SAP NetWeaver.
So to simplify the explanation, it would be :
Evolution of SAP R/3:
SAP R/3 (up to release 4.6c) -> SAP R/3 Enterprise (releases 1.00 through 2.00 -> mySAP ERP (2004 onward)
Evolution of Basis:
SAP Basis (up to release 4.6d) -> SAP Web AS (up to release 6.40 which was included in SAP NetWeaver '04) -> SAP NetWeaver (2004 onward)
SAP NetWeaver and mySAP ERP have their own release cycles. mySAP ERP always has an underlying technology release that it is built on (this is a SAP NetWeaver release)
I hope this helps,
Mike.

Need clarification for MRP Run

Dear SAP Guru,
Need the clarification for MRP Run:
1.At the time of MRP Run what is the status function for - shipping notification?
2.First i have run the mrp planning mode is normal after that i have some changes in material master , so planning mode is - RE Explode planning & Bom ? AT THE TIME OF MRP RUN it is correct
3.In background MRP Run at MDBT - what is the PLANNING MODE ?
4. How will work on automatic PO Create through MRP Run PR\S.?
Kindly give me the feedback , i am waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Uma

Hello Uma
1 - A shipping notification is a confirmation from the vendor that the material has been shipped.
2 - When you change your BOM or material master MRP settings, system automatically set a flag on the planning file to re-explode the BOM. Therefore, MRP automatically re-explode the BOM, even with planning mode 1. Planning mode 2 is only necessary when you need to force a new BOM explosion and I don't recommend you to use it frequently, as it may lead to performance issues. See my document MRP: Why shouldn’t I use planning mode 3 on a productive system? for more details.
3 - See notes 206666 MRP: Control parameters during planning and 135788 - Planning mode in material requirements planning.
4 - MRP does not create or change purchase orders or production orders. MRP can only create planned orders, purchase requisitions or schedule lines.
At last, I wrote the following document with links to the MRP FAQ notes, which may be helpful to you:

Hi,
Calculated Property in webdynpro is required when you want to handle node context attribute programmatically.
When you say Context Attribute as True, it generates two methods, Setter and Getter Method for that attribute.
In getter method you will be getting one element it is the context node, where you created attribute. These methods will be called automatically.

Need clarification for cold backup and recovery

Hello Everyone ..
I have much confusion on cold backup and recovery topic.
Already i posted a scanario regarding this and i want to know some clarity points to understand.
1. I had cold backup two days before
2. I am creating an object *(EMP)* and inserting some records then issue log switch continiously.
3. Manually i removed all physical files (datafiles , control files , log files , redolog files ...)
4. then i issued STARTUP FORCE MOUNT;
5. here i am getting error identifying control file.
6. cold backup two days before all files restored
6. then i issue recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
7. i am trying to issue select * from emp; i am getting error
select * from emp
*ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not existMy QUESTION IS
After cold backup finished , i created emp table ..
when restoring old back " There is no emp table"
*- then , can i recover emp table ? - If so , please explain about this ..*
Note : REF - LINK https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=11056341#11056341
- Above link says what i did ? . In this thread i am asking concept & logic ..
please do NOT consider as "*DUPLICATE*"

When you recover the database using backup controlfile until cancel, you have to apply archived logs. Did you apply all of them?
If the create command was in the online redo, not yet archived, and you lost the online redo, then you won't have it. This is why you want to have redo multiplexed, it is a critical piece.
In some recovery scenarios, if you haven't lost the online redo, you need to specify those files as if they were archives.
It is normally easier to just be sure you have the latest controlfiles and let Oracle figure it out automatically (which is why you want to use online RMAN backups rather than cold backups). But yes, it is important to understand what is going on for different scenarios. I used to have manual standbys, and one of the disaster instruction sets explained to try to get online redo over to the standby to lose as few transactions as possible. That could still be useful for some snapshot hardware type scenarios, assuming the business is too cheap to do proper failovers.

BASKAR

Hi Baskar,
Yes, its feasible.
However you need to map your 0CALMONTH to your 0CALQUARTER, then write this routine.
DATA : MY_VARSPMON(6),MY_VARYEAR(4),MY_VARMON(2),MY_VARQUARTER TYPE /BI0/OICALQUARTER.
    MY_VARSPMON = SOURCE_FIELDS-SPMON.
    MY_VARYEAR = MY_VARSPMON+0(4).
    MY_VARMON = MY_VARSPMON+4(2).
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
      EXPORTING
        INPUT = MY_VARMON
      IMPORTING
        OUTPUT = MY_VARMON.
    IF MY_VARMON = '01' OR MY_VARMON = '02' OR MY_VARMON = '03'. MY_VARYEAR = MY_VARYEAR - 1.
      CONCATENATE MY_VARYEAR '2' INTO MY_VARQUARTER.
    ELSEIF MY_VARMON = '04' OR MY_VARMON = '05' OR MY_VARMON = '06'.
      CONCATENATE MY_VARYEAR '3' INTO MY_VARQUARTER.
    ELSEIF MY_VARMON = '07' OR MY_VARMON = '08' OR MY_VARMON = '09'.
      CONCATENATE MY_VARYEAR '4' INTO MY_VARQUARTER.
    ELSEIF MY_VARMON = '10' OR MY_VARMON = '11' OR MY_VARMON = '12'.
      CONCATENATE MY_VARYEAR '1' INTO MY_VARQUARTER.
    ENDIF.
    RESULT = MY_VARQUARTER.
I don't guess there's any changes in particular; but you may considerably change as per requirements in the ABAP logic.

Need clarification for Captivate assessment settings

Greetings,
I have questions about how an LMS handles unique identifiers
that are assigned to questions or interactions in a 3rd party
software such as Flash or Captivate.
First of all, I must say that the more I work with our LMS
(Integrity eLearning’s WBT) the more I like it. It appears to
so feature rich that I have to ask questions such as the ones
below. I would certainly recommend this product. But I am not the
LMS admin, so these questions are necessary.
My intent is to make an LMS Report (such as the Question
Response Summary Report) more readable, and therefore better
understood. To do this I need to understand naming limitations when
a Captivate generated SCO is integrated with our LMS.
For example: (for those experienced with Captivate)
In Captivate:
I have an assessment based on how a user interacts with a
series of slides. The slides emulate the use of a piece of
software. There are transparent click boxes on specific slides.
On specific slides, for a specific click box:
In Click Box Properties, Reporting tab, I have 5 variables
available. 3 fields and 2 check boxes. I understand the uses of the
2 check boxes (Include In Quiz and Report Answers) and the
Weighting field. My questions relate to 2 fields:
Objective ID:
Interaction ID:
The Objective ID:
I believe this variable needs to be a consistent identifier,
the label is the same for each different interaction within the one
assessment (SCO). So, if I have 5 slides, each with one click box,
this property for each of the 5 click boxes is the same.
Does this relate to a separate Objective dictated by the LMS
or is this related strictly to the that SCO?
Can I use the same identifier in a different assessment, for
a different SCO?
In other words, can I re-use this exact label and not have
data problems when I generate reports?
The Interaction ID:
I believe this variable has to have unique identifiers
(within the single lesson) for each question in the assessment
(SCO). So, if I have 5 slides, each with one click box, this
property for each of the 5 click boxes is different and unique
within the SCO.
Is this correct?
If correct:
Can I use the same identifier in a different assessment, for
a different SCO?
Can the value have spaces or will spaces cause problems?
Can I re-use the labels in different SCOs?
If I have no particular Objective, but I do have Interactions
I want to track, do I have to have a value for the Objective ID
field?
If not, is it good practice to have one anyway? Does it
matter?
When I put in identifiers in these fields, and if I can
re-use the identifiers in different SCOs, can I have spaces,
special characters, etc. or would this cause problems when data is
retrived from the back-end database?
Thank you,
TPK

TPK,
Objective ID fields are supposed to be based on Objectives
set in
conjunction with an LMS. You can tie various questions to an
"Objective"
and then confirm the learner has met their objectives (or
determine where
they need help). Captivate doesn't support much beyond
sending Objective
IDs in interaction data (e.g. doesn't send objective's score,
etc).
Interaction IDs are supposed to be unique across all content
in an LMS.
That typically isn't realistic and I don't know any LMS that
requires or
expects them to be unique. For your reports, the Interaction
IDs should be
unique in a single Captivate file. If you want to track
interactions, but
don't care about objective's - you can leave it blank or put
in a "0". It
won't cause problems in your reporting with WBT Manager (e.g.
a recommended
LMS).
Hope that helps

Andrew

Needs Clarification for Certification exam 11g OCP

Hi,
Friends, Kingly guide me. I'm under huge pressure. I'm preparing for Oracle 11g for last 6 months and attend the training as well but I've some fear regarding exam. what I've seen in the sample question that there are mostly cramming question as well in the exam. Please tell me how can I pass the exam. Some time it seems to me that Working in Oracle is easy but passing certification is Hercules Job. Can I use to exam simulation engine recommended by oracle to pass the certification exam.(selftest.com)
Will it guarantee that I'll pass the exam. You all are aware that no one can memorize the whole book provided by Oracle corporation. Please guide me because it will get costly for me as I have to purchase the engine and If I not succeed I'll get huge financial lost as well. As whole month salary will be spent on single paper. Ill going to appear in the exam in next week I belong from Asian region, it'll be costly for me. Please guide me in this regard.

Regards,
VickyIn general the Oracle and / or Sybex books, when they are avaialble for an exam, inlcude sample questions and practice exams on cdroms are a failry effective indicator of where you are in process.
I would imagine the self test simulator is even better.
They is no guarentee ever of passing the exam; there is just a real probability.
You may be under pressure to try braindumps ... dont ... See http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html and {thread:id=1064222}
Your most cost effect route is probably via the Oracle Books ..... it may be worth delaying the exam slightly until you are confident. IMHO you would not have sufficient time to absorb maximum benefits from practice exams at the point unless you sail through the perfectly.

Need clarification for firmware & MPIO version for Oracle RAC

Dear All,
We have two-node Oracle RAC configuration 10gR2, Windos 2033 R2, 64-Bit OS using ASM and Oracle 11gR1 clusterware on HP Blades. The SAN storage is from IBM. We want to upgrade the firmware and MPIO version as per vendor recommendation.
Is there any requirement for Oracle RAC to have specific version of firmware and MPIO? Is there any matrix available for this? Or is it like both nodes should be able to see same SAN storage (LUN) irrespective of version used?
Thanks

Please note that Oracle RAC doesnt have requirement any sepcific firm ware. If you upgrade the firmware, it should not break any existing config, so pls check with IBM.
Also if you are doing any specific firmware upgrade then IBM should provide the supported version list.
Hope this help,

Why apps don't need to be granted for synonyms of packages and procedures?

Normally, When a user create a synonym of other schemas' package or procedure, it requires to be authorized to execute via 'grant' by owner before the user can call it.
But on one of our environment of EBS 12.1.1(vis), apps user don't need to be granted. Just need to make synonym and then can call the synonym. while on another environment of EBS 12.1.1(product), it still need to be granted. I notice that apps user in the two diffierent environment has many different database roles. Is any role associated with this? Does anybody know the reason?
Thanks in advance!

Need Clarification On Internal tables in Start Routine

Hi,
I have intenal table some IT_A which deletes the requests which are populated in to it.
Now I need to populate requests into IT_A from another internal table like IT_B which are of different structure.
I have three fields in common in both internal tables like RNR,Timestamp n SID with different field names
I Need Clarification that if i move the contents of the three fields to IT_A from IT_B by spcifying these three fields.Will the internal table IT_A deletes the Requests?
Thanks,
Sriram.

Hi Sriram,
As mentioned IT_A deleted the request loaded into it.
if you move the contents of the three fields to IT_A from IT_B by spcifying the three fields after the deletion step for internal table IT_A takes place then it wont get deleted.
But it would be deleted if the the contents are moved before the deletion step takes place

Need clarification on Bigfile Tablespaces

In the following Oracle Documentation Lirbary PDF,
    Oracle® Database
    Concepts
    10g Release 2 (10.2)
    B14220-02
    October 2005
section
    Overview of Tablespaces
    Bigfile Tablespaces (page: 3-5)
it says,
    Benefits of Bigfile Tablespaces
    * Bigfile tablespaces can significantly increase the storage capacity of an Oracle database. Smallfile tablespaces can contain up to 1024 files, but bigfile tablespaces contain only one file that can be 1024 times larger than a smallfile tablespace. The total tablespace capacity is the same for smallfile tablespaces and bigfile tablespaces. However, because there is a limit of 64K database for each database, a database can contain 1024 times more bigfile tablespaces than smallfile tablespaces, so bigfile tablespaces increase the total database capacity by 3 orders of magnitude. In other words, 8 exabytes is the maximum size of the Oracle database when bigfile tablespaces are used with the maximum block size (32k).
I need clarification on how to arrive at 8 exabytes ?
1024 x 32k x 64,000 ??
According to the exerpt above, there's no mention of maximum number of Operating System blocks per extent. Unless this was assumed knowledge ... how do I get 8 exabytes ?
And if "a database can contain 1024 times more bigfile tablespaces than smallfile tablespaces", then what's the upper limit on smallfile tablespaces ? -- was this sentence referring to the number of datafiles per smallfile tablespace ? ...
O_o
Thanks !

Hi,
According to [url http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/limits002.htm#i287915]Physical Database Limits page, a bigfile tablespace contains only one datafile or tempfile, which can contain up to approximately 4 billion ( 232 ) blocks. The maximum size of the single datafile or tempfile is 128 terabytes (TB) for a tablespace with 32K blocks and 32TB for a tablespace with 8K blocks. In resume, A bigfile tablespace is a tablespace containing a single datafile that can be as large as 128 terabytes (TB), depending on the block size of the tablespace. In conjunction with setting the initialization parameter DB_FILES to the maximum value of 65,635 the total size of the database can be more than 8 exabytes (EB)
>>how do I get 8 exabytes ?
You can calculate the maximum amount of space (M) in a single Oracle database as the maximum number of datafiles (D) multiplied by the maximum number of blocks per datafile (F) multiplied by the tablespace block size (B):
M = D * F * B. Therefore, the maximum database size, given the maximum block size and the maximum number of datafiles, is:
65,535 datafiles * 4,294,967,296 blocks per datafile * 32,768 block size = 9,223,231,299,366,420,480 = 8EB.Cheers

BPM, Workflow and Netweaver - Need Clarification

Hi Guru,
I am new to workflow, BPM and Netweaver. I have several questions about those concepts.
1. What is/are the different between workflow and webflow. Which scenario should take workflow into consideration? Which scenario webflow can be applied to?
2. What is/are the different between workflow and BPM. If I am going to implement workflow in a company, do I need to implement business workflow as well as BPM?
3. I need clarification on Netweaver platform and concept.
4. What is/are the different between workflow in R/3 and workflow under Netweaver?
5. If I am going to implement workflow integrated with R/3 and Outlook email, do I need to buy new wrokflow for Netweaver and Netweaver platform or alternatively, I can use business workflow module under R/3 system?
Sorry for many questions asked. I am new to those products. I am now working on software selection for workflow technology. My company is going to implement new workflow to client. Thank you very much.
Cheers,

Please ask only one (or closely related) questions per thread. This makes it a lot easier to get a good structure in the database of previously answered questions. While we are on the subject of previously answered questions, I think you should have a look at them....
My suggestion is therefore:
1. Close this thread
2. Read the Frequently Answered Questions. Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)
3. Search the forum.
4. Create new threads if you have questions afterwards.

Between webpages is quite simple. It sounds like your Xacute Query template and BLS are configured to receive the properties, so make sure the web page containing your applet uses an irpt extension and then add the following lines within your applet tags to receive the tokens for the query:
<PARAM NAME="Param.1" VALUE="{LowRange}">
<PARAM NAME="Param.2" VALUE="{HighRange}">
Then call your page with a URL like: ...Page.irpt?LowRange=0&HighRange=100
If you look at the web page examples in the Module Library template downloads here on SDN you'll see examples like this, as well as others.

Need clarification regarding the test cable-diagnostics tdr command

Hello,
I've read about the test cable-diagnostics tdr command but I need clarification on the examples listed below to make sure that I am providing the right answer to my co-workers.
Example 1:
CXXX7SW17#show cable-diagnostic tdr int g0/20
TDR test last run on: July 16 10:23:00
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/20    auto Pair A     N/A                        N/A                Normal
                       Pair B     72   +/- 10 meters N/A                Open
                       Pair C     75   +/- 10 meters N/A                Short/Crosstalk
                       Pair D     74   +/- 10 meters N/A                Short/Crosstalk
Does this example mean that there's a cable length issue in the line which is causing the device that it's connected to not to work properly?
Example 2:
CXXX2SW140#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/21
TDR test last run on: July 16 09:16:22
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/21    100M Pair A     N/A                      Pair A           Normal
                          Pair B     N/A                      Pair B           Normal
                          Pair C     N/A                     Pair C           Normal
                          Pair D     N/A                     Pair D           Normal
Does this example state that the cable line is okay for use?
Example 3:
CXXX1SW19#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/22
TDR test last run on: July 16 06:36:53
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length            Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/22   auto    Pair A       1    +/- 10 meters N/A               Open
                          Pair B     39   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                          Pair C     72   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                          Pair D     1    +/- 10 meters    N/A              Open
Does this example mean that there isn't a device connected on the other end? No pin-contact?
Thank you very much for any help you could provide.

I found this article here at supportforums that seemed like the best explanation I've read so far for TDR info.
