Number Range scenario...best way of handling?

I was looking at a possible scenario:
There is one university with 100 colleges under it which is implementing HE-R.These colleges offer 500 programs of study in all.( 100 colleges * 5 programs each).Each register around 400 students to a program around the same time( Total students=500*400=20000).
In this scenario,how will the university administrator register students in a way that using the number range,he can differentiate a student on the basis of his college and program?
Some options which came to my mind was that he would create 500 number ranges and assign the same whenever a student is to be booked to the respective programs.The other option probably is that the administrator would change the 'current number'in the number range interval node. Do send your thoughts on the same.

Yes, that is true for externally assigned ranges.  However, if you use an internally managed number range, then the only thing you can change the number to is an externally managed number range.  You could not change it to a number that is in any the INTERNAL number range.
The intelligent numbering is possible of course, but still introduces more problems than it addresses, and also much complexity, as you can see.  Whenever an administrator pulls up a student record, all of the relevant organization and program data are displayed prominently in the student header.  It is much easier to see that information directly than it is to remember the several dozen or hundreds of coded ranges.
Consider the analogy to general ledger accounts.  Almost every legacy financial system uses intelligent G/L account numbering.  Almost every customer that migrates to SAP starts off believing that those intelligent numbers are needed in SAP.  In the end, though, it almost always becomes clear to all users (except for the most stubborn ones who will never be happy with any change whatsoever) that the SAP G/L structure is far more flexible and easier to report off of than any intelligent numbering scheme could be.
Perhaps in the legacy student system, the intelligent numbering is NECESSARY, because it is otherwise cumbersome and difficult to see the organization and program context of the student.  This just isn't the case with SAP Student Lifecycle Management.  We cannot take all the 'requirements' at face value.  I would suspect that the real requirement is not 'We need intelligent numbering', but that 'We need to be able to easily and quickly ascertain the student's school and program'.

  • Best way of handling large amounts of data movement

    Hi
    I like to know what is the best way to handle data in the following scenario
    1. We have to create Medical and Rx claims Tables for 36 months of data about 150 million records each - First month (month 1, 2, 3, 4, .......34, 35, 36)
    2. We have to add the DELTA of month two to the 36 month baseline. But the application requirement is ONLY 36 months, even though the current size is 37 months.
    3 Similarly in the 3rd month we will have 38 months, 4th month will have 39 months.
    4. At the end of 4th month - how can I delete the First three months of data from Claim files without affecting the performance which is a 24X7 Online system.
    5. Is there a way to create Partitions of 3 months each and that can be deleted - Delete Partition number 1, If this is possible, then what kind of maintenance activity needs to be done after deleting partition.
    6. Is there any better way of doing the above scenario. What other options do I have.
    7 My goal is to eliminate the initial months data from system as the requirement is ONLY 36 months data.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestion

    Hi,
    You should use table partitioning to keep your data on monthly partitions. Serach on table partitioning for detailed examples.

  • Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

    Hi there,
    Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
    I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
    And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
    ((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
    Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
    Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

    So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
    That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
    My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

    Hi,
    I've done a great deal of work with mobile accounts in Snow Leopard and I'm now having a "play" with Lion. To be honest you have to sit down and think about why you need mobile accounts.
    If your user only uses one computer then your safer having a local account backed up by a network Time Machine, this avoids the many many woes that the Servers FileSyncAgent brings to the table.
    If your users are going to be accessing multiple computers on the network and leaving the network then a mobile account is good for providing a uniform user experience and access to files etc. However, your users will have to make a choice as to whether they want their iPhoto libraries on one Local machine (backed up by Time Machine) or whether they want their library to be hosted on the server and not part of the Mobile Home Sync schedule (adding ~/Pictures to the excluded items on the home sync settings).
    With the latter, users will be able to access their iPhoto libraries on any computer when they are within the network (as it's accessed from the users server home folder).
    With the first option the user would have their iPhoto library on one computer (say the laptop they used the most) but then would not be able to access it from other computers they log on to.
    iPhoto libraries are a pain, and I'm working hard to come up with a workaround. If your users moved over to using Apeture then you could include the aperture library as part of the home sync thanks to Deeport (http://deepport.net/archives/os-x-portable-home-directories-and-syncing-flaw-wit h-bundles/)
    He does suggest that the same would work with IPhoto libraries - but it doesn't for a number of mysterious reasons regarding how the OS recognizes thie iPhoto bundle (it does so differently compared to Apeture).
    Hope this helps...

  • What is the best way to handle input parameter

    When writing sub-vi's, what is the best way to handle input parameter range checking? On the front panel I can choose to have numeric values coerced to be within range, but this does not affect constants or controls wired to the vi when used as a sub-vi. I can build range checking into the vi, but this can result in a cluttered looking vi. Do you have any suggestions.

    As you discovered, the Range and Coercion properties of controls do not work when used in sub-vis.
    Your best option is to go ahead and build your range checking into your sub-vis. If it�s something you will be doing a lot, just make your range checking a sub-vi and drop it where needed. This will keep the clutter to a minimum. You may end up with more than one range checking VI if you need different functionality, but this will still make less clutter and easier re-use.

  • (workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

    Hey all,
    This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
    I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
    This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
    I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
    For every clip, I performed similar actions---
    1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
    2) amplified the audio
    3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
    I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
    Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
    Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
    Thanks,
    Aza

    Hi, Aza.
    Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
    One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
    When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
    Hope this helps,

    iDVD does not look at the size of your video file, it looks at the length. iDVD can accomodate up to 2 hours of movie
    iDVD gives you different options depending on the length of your movie. Although I won't agree with your friend about reducing the length of your movie to 15 minutes, if you could trim out a few minutes to get it under an hour that setting in iDVD (Best Performance though the new version may have renamed it) gives you the best quality. Still, any iDVD setting will give you good quality even at 64 minutes

  • Best way to handle multiple currencies

    I have a requirement that users should be able to report against an OLAP cube in a currency of their choice (from a list of about 20) and was wondering what the best way to handle this might be.
    One option would be to have a currency dimension containing the list of valid currencies and then to pre-calculate measures in each of the currencies and store them in the cube. However the downside of this is that the resultant cube would be 20 times larger than a cube in a single currency, take longer to maintain etc. I could of course partition the cube by currency to improve reporting performance since users would only report in one currency at a time.
    Another alternative would be to dynamically calculate the measures based on exchange rates - I guess this could either be done in the cube itself or as part of the reporting code. However since exchange rates are daily, this would obvioulsy prevent me from aggregating data up the time dimension (all measures are at the day level).
    Is there any standard way of doing this and what are the pro's and con's?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sorry - messed up - I should have posted this in the OLAP forum.....

  • Best way to handle when Production XI is in outrage/down

    Hi All,
    My production box is running smoothly now.If we want to go for any outrage and still we will be receiving many messages through internet from many partners.
    So we are expecting how to receive the messages when production XI is in outrage. My client is thinking of putting one more instance with the replica of Production box. So that when the main production is in outrage then immediately they can switch back to this replica version and they can process the messages untill the main one get ready.
    Now I am very much concern what are the implication will be if we go like this.
    1. which is the best way to handle XI box to maintain when the system is outrage/down?
    2. Is it a good idea of creating replica of production instance and maintaing this when the main one is in outrage?
    Kindly suggest what you guys are doing for your implementations.
    Thanks

    Ok, here's the logic, you want to replace a piece of water pipe that gets water to your faucet. What do you do without the water leaking or disrupting the water supply... you either turn off the valve or add a temp pipe to keep the water flowing..
    So check into your sys landscape for Fail safe or High Availability, may be one of those can save you money and time.

  • Best way to handle medical collections?

    Hello all, My husband and I are new to the "rebuilding your credit" world.  We're coming back from a foreclosure and actively trying to rebuild.  I have 4 active collections for 3 creditors listed on my EQ/TU report - totally $399.  I can pay them in full right now but I don't want to call the creditors to pay them if its not going to be removed from my reports properly.  Some of these are old - 2011. I also have 3 collections "removed" from my TU/EQ report since March - will paying these affect what is listed on my reports?
    What is the best way to handle these accounts to ensure they are removed from my reports completely?    

    Contact each creditor and politely request a Pay for Deletion - agreement they will delete from your reports in exchange for full payment. Get this in writing. If that doesn't work (try a few times), pay it, then try the goodwill route -- write letters requesting early deletion of the entries from your reports. Even though negative items will fall off your report in 7 years (so the 2011 collection will fall off in 2018), you will still have to report that you have unpaid debt on future mortgage applications, etc. And on a manual review, paid collections look better than unpaid ones. I would not advise not paying them at all. 

  • Best way to handle large files in FCE HD and iDVD.

    Hi everyone,
    I have just finished working on a holiday movie that my octagenarian parents took. They presented me with about 100 minutes of raw footage that I have managed to edit down to 64 minutes. They have viewed the final version that I recorded back to tape for them. They now want to know if I can put it onto a DVD for them as well. Problem is the FCE HD file is 13Gb.
    So here is my question.
    What is the best way to handle this problem?
    I have spoken to a friend of mine who is a professional editor. She said reduce the movie duration down to about 15mins because it's probably too long and boring. (rather hurtful really) Anyway that is out of the question as far as my oldies are concerned.
    I have seen info on Toast 8 that mentions a "Fit to DVD" process that purports to "squash" 9Gb of movie to a 4.7Gb disk. I can't find if it will also put 13Gb onto a dual layer 8.5Gb disk.
    Do I have to split the movie into two parts and make two dual layer DVD's? If so I have to ask - How come "Titanic", 3hrs+ fits on one disk??
    Have I asked too many questions?

    Take a deep breath. Relax. All is fine.

    Hi,
    You have to download the com.sap.portal.logon standar "par" and modify the jsp file to simplify the logon page (maybe only input fields for user and password).
    then upload the new .par file to the portal and update the authschems.xml file to redirect the default method to the new ".par".
    You can insert an "enter" button in the home page that launh a pop up to a dummy page with property "default" authentication scheme. Automatically the Portal shows you in the little pop up the simplyfied login page to insert login data. The dummy page need to redirect the parent page to the portallauncher component and close itself.
