Thanks RealDave.
I'm still reading through the manual as well...and so far I do not see any mention of an improvement of the SRC (sample rate conversion), which was an issue.
I hope they have re-done that code in this update. I will probably email Apple, although, they never answer...so...
Cheers

Is This A BUG or One Of Logics New Features

of course i'm ready to mix and on the mixer, none of the faders or pans work. they won't move. then it crashes. the only way i can change levels is from the arrange page. has anyone else experienced this? i can tell you this, every new project has at least 20 crash projects. in the past this hardly ever happened. this is by far the buggiest program i have ever worked on. too bad cause i like the new features.

By chance are you working on an L7 song that you opened in L8?

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

New Features in ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
I was just going through the latest release notes of SAP ERP Central Component (Release 6.0). I would request you to explain the concept of a couple of new features that am listing below, in the simplest possible way. I need to give a presentation to one of our clients regarding the same and would like to explain them the concepts of these new features in a manner in which they can easily understand it.
My queries are listed below. Kindly respond.
1) What is the concept of iPPE? How doest it work in conjuction with PS? How to best explain the concept of iPPE for a layman to understand?
2) Easy Cost Planning has been enhanced with the following new features,
a) Aggregated Items & b) Archiving
What is the concept for these new features? What are the clarifications that need to be given in order to use these new features?
Waiting for all you experts to respond.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gokul

Dear Gokul,
I can answer to one part
iPPE and PS can be integrated so that there will be logical link between objects in PVS (Product Varient Strucutre) and Project in PS.
there n:n relationship between WBS element and iPPE node , also betn Network and iPPE nodes/varients.
Use can use data from iPPE for project procurements.
Using reference points you can tranfer material from iPPE structure to PS Network.
Thanks,
Niketan

Do Text Edit's new features apply to other apps?

Do the new features in Text Edit (holding down a letter key to evoke accent marks, spelling auto correction bubbles) apply to any other Apple products such as Pages, Keynote, Numbers, or any other word processors, such as Microsoft Word? Or do these new features apply exclusively to Text Edit? Thanks.

Its not a suggestion, its a bug - since 8.1 iTunes will not drag and drop into some apps - it will work with logic & garageband, it won't work with Live or Toast or Quicktime player.

How to use new feature "New Picture"?

SDDM 4.1.0.866 has a new feature ("New Picture"), icon to the right of "New Note" icon. Using this icon, I can insert an external image in a relational diagram, but when I go through the same motions on a logical diagram, the image does not show up. Am I not using the new feature correctly, or does it apply only to relational diagrams? Thanks.

Hi Patrick,
it should be possible to add image to diagrams in all models. It appears there is a problem for diagrams in logical model.
Thanks for reporting the problem, I logged a bug.

What are your top three favorite new features in 8?

First off, let me say that I am blown away with this update. It really has almost everything I could have hoped for. Bug fixes, workflow improvements galore, not a bunch of new plug ins but great improvements on the old ones, and I personally love the new look. Job well done apple. Three features that will revolutionize the way I work:
1. Key command for hiding plug ins. Some plugs take a ton of time for the graphics to load, that used to be really annoying.
2. Key command for disabling control surfaces. I am always needing to switch from using my control surface as a mixer controller to using it to quickly automate some CC on a MIDI track. This makes it very quick and easy.
3. Delay Designer. I just got into this one, absolutely amazing. Those melodic patterns really got me excited. This completely obliterates any other delay I've ever seen feature wise, and the interface is great. I used to use Ohmboyz as my go to for complex delays, but Delay Designer blows it away from what I can tell. The compressor improvements are very nice as well!

1. Mainstage - Even though I probably won't use Logic for live performance much, I love how simple, clean, and intuitive the interface looks. I will probably use this when composing as it seems to be one of the easiest ways to route drum pads, create keyboard layers, etc. really quickly, and the interface is very inviting.
2. Delay designer looks really fun. I remember spending 30 minutes once in Sonar trying to get the stupid delay to do a really simple thing. I finally gave up and layered the audio data to make my own delay because it didn't give me enough control to make it happen in the plugin. It looks like I could have just drawn it into the Delay Designer and been done with it.
3. Import from Garageband - Not a new feature, but I love using Garageband as a musical notepad when all I want to do is create something simple or jot down an idea. In this period, I don't need all the features of Logic, but I will eventually, and then I just open it up in Logic and get more advanced.

No new features for no Creative Cloud users? Tell me why?

Adobe, please tell me why I, no Cloud Crative user don't receive new Illustrator CS6 features:
- Package files
- Unembed images
- Links informations
Why Creative Cloud users are better than users who bought box version? it's not fair.

@Wade
What a bunch of babble and marketing talk for Adobe! You do realize there are other services (far better ones actually) than YouSendIt, don't you? In the YouSendIt category, try WeTransfer.com : super fast uploads and downloads up to 2gb in one RAR or ZIP file at a time.
You have heard about DropBox, SkyDrive, GoogleDrive, etc. too, haven't you? Without going into the pros and cons of any of those services, I can categorically say that each one is better... and cheaper... than an Adobe Cloud sub.
And since you're talking about the world, and complaining at the same time about your upload speeds, that remains the same for the Adobe Cloud or any Internet service for that matter. Adobe Cloud is NOT faster than any of the above services I mentioned.
Also you should know that there are many parts of the world, including HUGE chunks of the US, where broadband Internet still doesn't exist. There are some places that may never see broadband land lines, and those communities are installing LTE instead. LTE has it's advantages... but the main disadvantage is cost. No such thing as a "true Flat rate" with LTE, and you are bound to run up against "volume restrictions" and pay extra for exheeding them. No advantage then for Cloud users: they will pay on top.
I personally use DropBox and SkyDrive syncing projects and files with assorted clients every day... including huge PSD and RAW file libraries. If I have a "one off" project, I use WeTransfer with no problems. If you have a client that refuses to learn the first thing about downloading files from a link, I'm sorry for you. I mean that without sarcasm. I would like to ask though: are they actually then playing with your native files in CS? Really? And they can't even download a linked ZIP? (See my comment below about suspects).
You fail to convince me in the end, that Adobe's Cloud Drive is the best choice at the moment or in the future.
Considering this thread is/was about Perpetual vs. Cloud subs, no one has mentioned the main underlying fact and potential reason for Adobe to push people to Subs: PIRACY.
While very possibly not prevalent in North America... I would venture to say that in the rest of the world, 75% of CS installations are against the EULA, whether multiple machine installs and/or downright pirated. BTW: I have personally ran across the "multiple machine" install countless times at more shops/studios than I care to mention.
I would like to add a "twisted logic" to my personally accepting the new Adobe Subs as the way to go, and especially for new features.
IF (big if!) this is to cut down on piracy and the number of studios/shops driving media design/printing prices into the basement, because they don't actually "pay" for their right to offer their services.... I'm all for it! If this also results in the culling of people that think that, with a Walmart computer and a jacked CS disk image, they are "now in business to offer professional graphic services"... again, I applaud the Cloud initiative.
It surely appears that I'm bitter about the "competition"... well yes I am. Because, not only are the pirates NOT competing fairly, but I (personally) have to deal with problems they make for my clients and the "trash" files they receive on a daily basis. It is also many of those clients that are perpetually licensed CS and EULA abiding Adobe customers, that are slowly laying off trained professional graphic/media designers as well as print technicians... because they are "too expensive".
And finally to add insult to injury: I also suspect we see a number of these "pirates" and "just beginning professionals" here in these forums. The number of posts I see coming from some people that shouldn't even have CS installed, is... well... disheartening.*
* Funny, how as graphic designers, we were always wishing for faster, better, cheaper, easier. How little did we realize or fail to foresee, that when the dream came true... it would also be accessible to the "I can too" crowd. Is it nasty of me to say in return, "No. You can't. And I doubt you ever will. It's not the tools, it's the talent. You have none that I can see."
PS. Sorry... sort of worn out and emotional after staying up until 3.00am to "re-design" a thoroughly "#$%^&*!!!" Corel PDF! Fugly has a brand new definition, and "pro-" is followed by "-stitution". I need to shower 3 times after this one!

NEW Kin TwoM Pricing / New Feature Phones

So, I've been checking the site compulsively for about the last two months...let me know if you think my logic on this is sound:
This week I noticed that the Kin OneM pricing went from 19.99 to FREE- it doesn't seem to be a promotional price either because it's listed as an "Online Discount" the exact same way the Crux and Cosmos are.
This leads me to believe two things:
1) Possibly the best news- with so many of the feature phones moving to FREE pricing, it's not a huge assumption that new feature phone devices may soon be on the way. (Please, please, please offer some compelling phones Verizon...)
2) The Kin TwoM will soon see a price decrease as well- probably to the 19.99 range making it almost impossible to pass up.
If number 1 turns out to be true, I'll be waiting a bit to see what comes out before I pull the trigger on the Kin TwoM.
There's been recent news that Verizon will be releasing devices "later this year" (whatever that means) with the Brew OS and Opera Mini preloaded- this probably means they've got some decent feature phones coming. I'm making that assumption based on the fact that the HTC Freestyle on AT&T has been pretty much regarded as the first device to be released like this...I'm thinking Verizon will want to compete with them at least at the beginning of a new standard of feature phones.
But, if it turns out that they again bring a line-up that only gets the teens excited, count me in for the Kin TwoM.
I'd prefer not to have to walk around the office with the same phone my boss's 15 year old daughter has...now there's an interesting water cooler chat:
"Bergman, nice phone...my tween daughter loves that thing..."

Somehow i feel the Kin phones won't be for sale for much longer. For those that need a basic phone with touch interface, there's other options which have a clearer interface. Including the Costco special Samsung SCH-u370. It's a Samsung u820/Reality that doesn't require data. No free wi-fi, but overall it's a much better phone. More ... finished, than the Kin phones. The Kins to me feels like a Windows Phone beta in comparison.
I do love how the tiles are laid out on the home screen better on the Kins than WP7 phones, there's no empty space above or to the right. And i love the favorites contacts screen of the Kins. WP7 phones though feels much sleeker and better zune like controls. And since you can load apps on WP7 your browser won't be outdated.
For current feature phones, i think the u370 is a top choice on Verizon. Good build quality, clear user interface, nice fonts and sizes, a useful sketch app, and the ability to doodle/notate on your pictures. Excellent value. Kin Onem, i can't reccomend. The phone dial numbers are too small on screen to be usable. Thicker than other feature phones, but because of the form factor, the side buttons are almost useless in one handed use. Kin Twom is much better in these aspects than the Onem. But certain interface font sizes are still too small.
The web browser (IE 6 Mobile) is not bad. Mobile and minimal pages loads quick on wifi. Although the back button is not easy to get to, and i haven't figured out if you can go forward in history. The url/title bar seems unfinished, i wish it would have swapped to the title after entering the url, thus saving space. The tiled bookmarks is a good idea, but page titles doesn't fit on the tiles. Even though the hardware is Tegra1, the Kin doesn't come with Flash lite. So alot of flash interactive buttons and streaming doesn't work. Infact simple mp3 playback and playlists doesn't stream in the browser. Which is sad.
One saving grace for the browser that i have found is Bing. Yep. http://m.bing.com/ Of course on first load it will be in landscape mode. And it only list the top 3 items of the menu, without being able to expand it. But go into portrait mode, and you should see the complete menu. Almost every web app on this menu worked well. My favorite is the directions. It almost makes up for not having google maps. Almost.
The strong points of the Twom is of course the browser + wifi, and zune. Which is like a zune hd lite. The FM radio made up for the lack of web streaming. I'm rediscovering FM thanks to it. And the zune desktop software is very modern and sleek. It made itunes look like it's made for accountants. Personally i love the Twom even though it has its quirks. The ui is unique, not quite WP7, and not like anything else. No branding as well. With FM radio i have wireless music anywhere, for free.
Here are some mobile sites that i found to work on Kin's IE6 Mobile:
http://m.bing.com/ --- search, local, traffic, directions (fantastic), movies, weather, favs.
http://mobile.local.com/ --- more direct/faster way to search for anything local
http://wapedia.mobi/en/ --- easier to load than mobile wikipedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
http://m.whitepages.com/ http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/
http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/ http://translate.google.com/m/
http://translate.google.com/m/
There's plenty of news & social websites that have mobile modes. I've tried cnn, twitter, and youtube. And they all worked well. Youtube mobile seems to be the only way you can stream anything with the browser. I've tried other mobile video/music sites, and no go.
The phone have frozen 4 times within the last day. This happens with heavy web browsing and music playback. Overall i can't recommend the Kin phones, although go ahead and buy one while you can if you know what you're getting into. I feel that future feature phones will be more polished like the Samsung u370/u820 rather than these Kins. I just wish MS, Verizon, Danger and PCD realize that they were on to something great with these Kins despite the marketing flop. I like the TwoM despite the beta feel of the software and hardware (WP7 still looks like it's a beta product).

11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back.

please help with 11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back by enabling FRA or FRA with archive in 11.2.0.2 database.

Any other option to restore schema??As it has been discussed in another thread, the schema is not a physical thing, it is a logical set of objects that user has.
So, to restore schema you will need to restore all tables in this schema.
As it was answered above, you can use Flashback Table for every table (with some limitations though).
Another option is using LogMiner. With some limitations as well.
For example, you cannot to "restore" a truncated table with LM.

WHAT IS THE NEW FEATURES RM-702 V 06.97 SOFTWARE ...

WHAT IS THE NEW FEATURES RM-702 V 06.97 SOFTWARE OF C2-03?

Hey, thanks. I had done that before and it says 7.91 is the latest. So, assuming updates is not avaiable in my Region and 7.91 is the latest for my product code, But even when I go here --> http://www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate and choose Nokia 5130 XM, it still says: "Latest software release for Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is 07.91" regardless of Region / Product Code. Logically it should display the latest version, right? (Don't tell me it has something to do with your location and IP address, coz I used VPN and changed my IP to US and it still says 7.91 is the latest.) I'm really confused. I really want a straight answer.
Are there 7.95 or 7.96 or 7.97 out there?
Has anyone ever updated from 7.91 to 7.95 or to 7.96 or 7.97?
Can anyone confirm that there is a 7.95 or 7.96 or 7.97 pre-installed?
Anyway, back to the original questions:

History applies default presets of new features

In LR3, I set as default the new feature "Enable Profile Corrections". That's fine for newly imported pictures, but if I play with the history of a picture which was imported with an older version (clicking on some step in the history), the feature will sometimes (pretty randomly, as it seems to me) be activated and when I go back to the history step where I was before the picture has changed (with e.g. double correction of vignetting). It means that in some cases you cannot revert to the developed picture you had originally selected, and that's really bad. A similar (though less acute) problem exists with camera calibration profile if you click on a history step named "reset settings": the actual default settings are applied and you cannot revert to the originally developed picture using history.
The problem also exists with snapshots: a snapshot of a picture with "Enable Profile Corrections"=No can activate this feature when recalled. Not in all cases - I simply cannot find out what the logic is.
Can somebody help and propose a workaround? I find it extremely annoying to know that the settings I selected for my pictures perhaps cannot be reverted to when playing with history.
Pierre

OK, here is an example:
Here is the picture as I imported and developed it in an older LR version (it's a Nikon NEF with an xmp companion):
Now I click in history on an older state (here "Quantité de vignettage", i.e. vignetting):
Note that Profile Corrections are now checked (and vignetting is doubly corrected, once automatically and once manually.)
If I get back to the initial state:
Profile Correction is still enabled; the picture has changed although the history state is the same as originally.

SAP BI New Features???

Hi,
Is there any way to find out details of an imported support pack...we are working on SAP BI 7.0 support pack 17.
We jumped from SP13 to SP17 and there are few new features which i am not able to get any info docs anywhere...(SAP Marketplace, Help.sap.com)
Regards,
Aadil

hi
i sent u some features of bi 7.0
Metadata Search (Developer Functionality) :
1.     It is possible to search BI metadata (such as InfoCubes, InfoObjects, queries, Web templates) using the TREX search engine. This search is integrated into the Metadata Repository, the Data Warehousing Workbench and to some degree into the object editors. With the simple search, a search for one or all object types is performed in technical names and in text.
2.     During the text search, lower and uppercase are ignored and the object will also be found when the case in the text is different from that in the search term. With the advanced search, you can also search in attributes. These attributes are specific to every object type. Beyond that, it can be restricted for all object types according to the person who last changed it and according to the time of the change.
3.      For example, you can search in all queries that were changed in the last month and that include both the term "overview" in the text and the characteristic customer in the definition. Further functions include searching in the delivered (A) version, fuzzy search and the option of linking search terms with u201CANDu201D and u201CORu201D.
4.     "Because the advanced search described above offers more extensive options for search in metadata, the function ""Generation of Documents for Metadata"" in the administration of document management (transaction RSODADMIN) was deleted. You have to schedule (delta) indexing of metadata as a regular job (transaction RSODADMIN).
     Effects on Customizing
     Installation of TREX search engine
     Creation of an RFC destination for the TREX search engine
     Entering the RFC destination into table RSODADMIN_INT
     Determining relevant object types
     Initial indexing of metadata"
Remote Activation of DataSources (Developer Functionality) :
1.      When activating Business Content in BI, you can activate DataSources remotely from the BI system. This activation is subject to an authorization check. You need role SAP_RO_BCTRA. Authorization object S_RO_BCTRA is checked. The authorization is valid for all DataSources of a source system. When the objects are collected, the system checks the authorizations remotely, and issues a warning if you lack authorization to activate the DataSources.
2.       In BI, if you trigger the transfer of the Business Content in the active version, the results of the authorization check are based on the cache. If you lack the necessary authorization for activation, the system issues a warning for the DataSources. BW issues an error for the corresponding source-system-dependent objects (transformations, transfer rules, transfer structure, InfoPackage, process chain, process variant). In this case, you can use Customizing for the extractors to manually transfer the required DataSources in the source system from the Business Content, replicate them in the BI system, and then transfer the corresponding source-system-dependent objects from the Business Content. If you have the necessary authorizations for activation, the DataSources in the source system are transferred to the active version and replicated in the BI system. The source-system-dependent objects are activated in the BI system.
3.     Source systems and/or BI systems have to have BI Service API SAP NetWeaver 2004s at least; otherwise remote activation is not supported. In this case, you have to activate the DataSources in the source system manually and then replicate them to the BI system.
Copy Process Chains (Developer Functionality):
You find this function in the Process Chain menu and use it to copy the process chain you have selected, along with its references to process variants, and save it under a new name and description.
InfoObjects in Hierarchies (Data Modeling):
1.      Up to Release SAP NetWeaver 2004s, it was not possible to use InfoObjects with a length longer than 32 characters in hierarchies. These types of InfoObjects could not be used as a hierarchy basic characteristic and it was not possible to copy characteristic values for such InfoObjects as foreign characteristic nodes into existing hierarchies. From SAP NetWeaver 2004s, characteristics of any length can be used for hierarchies.
2.      To load hierarchies, the PSA transfer method has to be selected (which is always recommended for loading data anyway). With the IDOC transfer method, it continues to be the case that only hierarchies can be loaded that contain characteristic values with a length of less than or equal to 32 characters.
Parallelized Deletion of Requests in DataStore Objects (Data Management) :
Now you can delete active requests in a DataStore object in parallel. Up to now, the requests were deleted serially within an LUW. This can now be processed by package and in parallel.
Object-Specific Setting of the Runtime Parameters of DataStore Objects (Data Management):
Now you can set the runtime parameters of DataStore objects by object and then transport them into connected systems. The following parameters can be maintained:
u2022        Package size for activation
u2022        Package size for SID determination
u2022        Maximum wait time before a process is designated lost
u2022        Type of processing: Serial, Parallel(batch), Parallel (dialog)
u2022        Number of processes to be used
u2022        Server/server group to be used
Enhanced Monitor for Request Processing in DataStore Objects (Data Management):
1.      For the request operations executed on DataStore objects (activation, rollback and so on), there is now a separate, detailed monitor. In previous releases, request-changing operations are displayed in the extraction monitor. When the same operations are executed multiple times, it will be very difficult to assign the messages to the respective operations.
2.      In order to guarantee a more simple error analysis and optimization potential during configuration of runtime parameters, as of release SAP NetWeaver 2004s, all messages relevant for DataStore objects are displayed in their own monitor.
Write-Optimized DataStore Object (Data Management):
1.      Up to now it was necessary to activate the data loaded into a DataStore object to make it visible to reporting or to be able to update it to further InfoProviders. As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, a new type of DataStore object is introduced: the write-optimized DataStore object.
2.      The objective of the new object type is to save data as efficiently as possible in order to be able to further process it as quickly as possible without addition effort for generating SIDs, aggregation and data-record based delta. Data that is loaded into write-optimized DataStore objects is available immediately for further processing. The activation step that has been necessary up to now is no longer required.
3.      The loaded data is not aggregated. If two data records with the same logical key are extracted from the source, both records are saved in the DataStore object. During loading, for reasons of efficiency, no SID values can be determined for the loaded characteristics. The data is still available for reporting. However, in comparison to standard DataStore objects, you can expect to lose performance because the necessary SID values have to be determined during query runtime.
Deleting from the Change Log (Data Management):
The Deletion of Requests from the Change Log process type supports the deletion of change log files. You select DataStore objects to determine the selection of requests. The system supports multiple selections. You select objects in a dialog box for this purpose. The process type supports the deletion of requests from any number of change logs.
Using InfoCubes in InfoSets (Data Modeling):
1.      You can now include InfoCubes in an InfoSet and use them in a join. InfoCubes are handled logically in InfoSets like DataStore objects. This is also true for time dependencies. In an InfoCube, data that is valid for different dates can be read.
2.      For performance reasons you cannot define an InfoCube as the right operand of a left outer join. SAP does not generally support more than two InfoCubes in an InfoSet.
