Office 365: some basic questions

Hi,
I've read somewhere that Office 365 will offer unlimited storage via OneDrive.
If that's true, I'd like to sign up for an paying account.
I had a trial running some time ago for my private domain but didn't continue the trial.
What I'd like to have:
-unlimited storage for best price
-use my own domain in my mailaddress/outlook account => then I'd need a business account?
-share documents from onedrive to people who don't have a onedrive
Please advise.

Hi Jan,
Here are a few references for your question:
All Office 365 customers will get unlimited OneDrive storage at no additional cost, Microsoft has just announced this:
https://blog.onedrive.com/office-365-onedrive-unlimited-storage/
You can add a domain that you’re already using for email into Office 365 and use it with email and other services:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-your-domain-to-Office-365-ffdb2216-330d-4d73-832b-3e31bcb5b2a7?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Of course, you can share a document to people for unauthenticated access, you can do this by creating a gest link.
By the way, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 subscription/plan aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

Some basic questions about serialization

Hi,
I have some basic questions on serialization.
1. What are the basic criteria to make an object serializable(except that it must implement serializable ?) I mean that objects of some class inherently cannot be serialized so any object must have some features which makes it serializable/non serializable.
2. I know it makes no sense to serialize a socket because it is fixed only by specifying ip and port at both ends, and is valid only when the network connection remains valid. Still in the context of my previous question, I would like to know why a socket cannot be serialized.

Office 365 Group Policies question

We initially deployed Office 365 with updates turned off so about half of our users have an old version of Office 365. We want to now manage the updates using the new group policies for O365. I read this statement ...In
order for these four new policy settings to work, you will need to have at least the April 2014 build of Office 2013 Click-to-Run (Build 15.0.4605.1003) and download the latest Administrative templates files (ADMX/ADML).
Does this mean that the version on the PC has to have at least the April 2014 build to use the policies? If that's true how would I go about updating the users who have automatic updates turned off. there are a couple of thousand users.

Yes.
Depending on how you deployed/deploy Office365ProPlus, and, the tools/techniques available to you in your environment, there are some options.
a) re-deploy Office365ProPlus to the computers. Use the latest build version.
b) check the relevant registry settings, and if correction is needed, deploy the correct registry settings.
These articles may help you to determine which of the multiple scenarios you have to deal with:

Mind answering some basic questions for a few bright HS students?

I am a HS computer science teacher who seeks a professional mentor regarding JDBC. While I have successfully
- installed a MySQL database,
created, queried, updated the database,
- read the Java Tutorial and:
used Connect/J and written a main method to manipulate a
database
created very simple applets to query or update a database with
their run methods.
I have basic questions about how pieces fit together in web application development and how one can best take advantage of OOP when dealing with a database. My motivation are a few very bright post-AP students who have an excellent grasp of OOP and data structures; they are curious to see how Java is used in web applications.
The sample code I have found on the Web has all been small main method examples. I would like to see and discuss a truly OOD application with JDBC, and to discuss how the pieces fit together.
So, aware of our ignorance and of how dangerous a little knowledge can be, and not expecting to go live with an application anytime soon, we seek a very high level understanding of current professional practice (like: "Where does tomcat fit in here?") as well as some direction while we get our hands dirty. (I hope that makes sense.)
If you have time to correspond with us via e-mail, answer some very basic questions, and perhaps take a look at some code as we work through it, we would love to hear from you off-line ([email protected]). We would also appreciate knowing where to look for a good OOD sample application. Thanks.

Complete this tutorial and you will have a much better understanding.

Office 365 Split domain question

Is it possible to run an on-premise Lync hosting 1 SIP domain, with on premise Exchange running a specific email domain say company1.com
Then have Office 365 host two other SIP and email domains. Company2.com and company3.com
I am trying to get my head around this configuration, or if it's even possible.

It's documented by TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205157.aspx
For outside documentation, a lot of what I'm seeing is outdated, so TechNet may be your best source for up to date information.
And the answer to the DNS question is, it depends. If you're Office365 only for those sip domains, and on premises only for the other sip domain, it doesn't necessarily even need to be a hybrid deployment. That said, if it is and users can
cross from on premises to off, the DNS records should point at the on premises deployment:
"When creating DNS SRV records for hybrid deployments, the records, _sipfederationtls._tcp.<domain> and _sip._tls.<domain>, should point to the on premises Access Proxy."
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205403.aspx
Once they hit the on premises, they will be redirected to the online deployment if that's where their account is homed.

Office 365 general licence question

I am looking to provide a new service to a cluster of schools which will be separate to their every day work. This will be only for select users in about a dozen schools which will help with collaboration and communication for Head Teachers and the deputy
head.
The school have piloted Office 365 Education A3 plan but the service I will provide is going to be through my own company. My question is this. Would I apply for a education licences or as it's a service my company is going to offer would I still
have to pay for an enterprise or pro licence?
I hope that makes sense
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you need to talk to MS Partner Support, since you will be selling/reselling/onselling/upselling ?
Resellers and hosters, have different MS agreements (partner agreements).
The typical "Retail" or "Volume" products, can't be on-sold, I think.

Office 365 Litigation Hold Questions

Our organization is going to Office 365 from Google Apps, and we were trying to figure out the best way to approach legal holds. First of all, I have heard two rumors that I couldn't find a specific answer for.
First, Is litigation hold being deprecated? I have seen claims from other users online saying that they receive this prompt, but we never received such a prompt and it seems to work fine.
Second, we also heard through a random vendor that license agreements only allow 15% of users in an organization to be on Litigation holds. I could not find an account of this anywhere online, either...wasn't sure if this is true.
If the two above criteria are true, what we want to do is have ALL users on our domain to have their email held for 1 year, regardless of if they delete it. Is the Litigation hold the proper option for this, or should we use In-Place
hold or Journaling? Litigation hold seems to work well for us so far (we are in trials with about 20 users), but I wasn't sure if the above claims were valid.

Hi,
You might want to take a look at this blog post from The Exchange Team Blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/12/11/litigation-hold-and-in-place-hold-in-exchange-2013-and-exchange-online.aspx
"In Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we introduced In-Place Hold, which allows more flexibility in preserving your data. "
But you still can use the Litigation Hold in Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online.
"Litigation Hold isn't going away: Since the release of Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we've received a lot of questions and feedback from you about whether Litigation Hold
will be removed. We want to clarify that we do not plan to remove Litigation Hold from Exchange Online or Exchange 2013."
The "litigation hold is a deprecated feature" alert has been removed.
"We've removed the alert from Exchange Online and in Exchange
2013 SP1. We've also removed the recommendation from Exchange Online and Exchange 2013 documentation."
Also, this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about the Plan/Hosted/Cloud aspects of Office 365. I would suggest you to post in the forum of
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

Office 365 RDS licensing question

Dustin, take a look at this when you get a chance: http://blogs.technet.com/b/uspartner_ts2team/archive/2014/09/03/office-365-shared-computer-activatio...
It explains how the Pro Plus version can be installed in RDS/TS environment, and I get the feeling that it is the only version that can be installed that way.
It also notes that installing Office 365 Pro Plus on an RDS/TS machine does not take away from the 5 device cap.

Office 365 has nothing to do with RDS.
If a user has an Office 365 license then they can use that license wherever they log on from. So if the are using a RDS session on a server then they can use there Office 365 license there. Please note that an Office 365 license allows you to install the full suite on 5 devices and the RDS server would be one of these devices.
Connecting to the RDS server is entirely different. In order to connect they user or device must have a RDS license.
The 2 are unrelated.
I assume from the context of your question that you already have the RDS environment set up and working so it is as simple as installing the office 365 suite onto the RDS server and allowing the 3 users to use it.

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

Some basic questions from a mac newbie

hi,
i have been using linux and windows all this while, and recently began using an apple too. have some simple questions here that i hope to get some answers for.
1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab? to remove the application from the list, i have to right click on its icon on the dock, then click 'quit'. this is rather troublesome.
appreciate any help!

1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
The /etc/hosts file is there, but the /etc/ folder is hidden. You can use the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/) to access it via Unix, or could enter "open /etc" in the Terminal to open that folder in the Finder.
However, I'm not sure how this relates to ssh... I have not needed to modify that file, yet I can ssh all I need to. Are you trying to connect to your new Mac via ssh, or connect to other machines from the Mac via ssh?
2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
Just drag the window out to full-screen and the browser should remember and open new windows at that size in the future. There are also some utilities (one called "Right Zoom" IIRC?) that will make the zoom button (green + button) behave more like the Windows zoom button.
3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab?
Applications shouldn't quit just because you close their last window, unless the application's entire user interface is contained within that window. That is the case with ALL Windows apps, since there's no global menu bar, but only in some Mac apps. This is something that always ticked me off big-time with Windows... there have been times when I carelessly closed a window I didn't need anymore, but wanted to keep using the app, and then had to wait for it to load again. That won't happen on the Mac.
If this bothers you, just use the key combination command-Q to quit apps.
