One sequence for multiple lookup tables?

I am sorry if this is off-topic, however can anybody advise what is better - use one sequence for all tables (lookup tables) or to create unique sequence for each table?
Thanks
DanielD

Daniel,
After you read this (http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:2985886242221,), you may be sorry you asked.

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

One TPV for multiple Countries

Hi Experts,
Could you pls share experirnce/knowledge around having one TPV for multiple countries together. The scenario is like below:
1. There are mutiple Countries in Central America which are small islands for whom we need to roll out the Travel and Expense Solution.
2. The Company code is only one which contains employees from all these Countries.
Could you tell us how can we do the setup. Should we create one TPV at the company code level. OR should we rather use some other criteria for selecting the TPV maybe at the Personnel area or Personnel Sub Area level.
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Kiron,
These things I am aware about too. My real question is if I create only one TPV for the company code and assign the Country of the Company code then what issues would this cause. To name a few pls see below.
1) The domestic Country would always be the Company code Country so would be treated as Domestic Country and show on the Form also as domestic Country even for the employees who are from other Countries.
2) There are setting which SAP allows differently for Domestic and International like per diem, miles cumulations. So these necessarily have to be kept as same even though local laws are different in all these countries as Domestic is only the Company code Country.
So I need detailed analysis of what impact I will have by having only one TPV as against making many TPV like one for each Country by using some other parameter like Personnel area/Personnel sub area etc.
Appreciate your help!
Regards,
Vijay

One lockbox for multiple company codes

Is it possible to have one lockbox for multiple company codes?

No, I don't think so. Lockbox is 1:1 for a Company Code.
You configure Lockbox for a Company Code.
You can use one of the 2 available Lockbox user exits (not sure which) to write a piece of code that searches invoices against the customer posted to different company codes. You will have to have the intercompany setups.
You may find an OSS notes for intercompany clearing.
Hope this helps!

One delivery for multiple STO's

Folks,
I have multiple STO's for the same ship-to (plant). Items due for shipping would need to be combined into 1 delivery and not 1 delivery per STO.
Would this be possible? And if yes, how?
Thanks,
MZ

Hi ,
Yes , We can create one delivery for multiple PO's .
Go to VL10D tcode --> Purchase order tab -- > enter the STO's and press execute
Select the STO's and click on background tab. Then it creates the log
Select the item again and press shift +F4
It will gives the log inforamation for the STO's and select the item and press on documents tab.
It will creates only one Delivery for all the STO's.
Now go to VL02N tcode and enter the delivery number then goto picking tab then enter picking qnty = delivery qnty
then press on " post goods issue "
Now go to MIGO to do the goods reciept then enter all the STO's here and check the item then save .
Only one document will be posted for all the STO's

One inventory for multiple ORACLE_HOMEs ?

RDBMS version:11.2, 10.2
Platform : AIX
In one server , we are going to install multiple ORACLE_HOMEs (both 10.2 and 11.2). I have been asked to configure separate inventory for each ORACLE_HOME (each inventory within its own ORACLE_HOME). But i came across OTN posts which advices one inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs .
1. How can i create 1 inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs . Is it by specifying an inventory directory outside all ORACLE_HOMEs in OUI when you do the very first installation ?
2. Which one is more professional : one inventory for each ORACLE_HOME or one inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs ?

When installing Oracle software for the first time, the OUI will create a "global" inventory under $ORACLE_BASE.
Depending on you OS, to locate this inventory look at "/etc/oraInst.loc" (AIX+Others) or "/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc" (Linux+others).
You can add/remove Oracle homes from this inventory by using OUI or command line ./runInstaller.
Each Oracle home may also contain an "$ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc" file.
HTH
PS: +"One inventory for multiple ORACLE_HOME is a bad practice"+ -- Untrue. Perhaps only for those that don't know how to use it.

No. If its transactions across multiple databases you should use different datasources.

Creating a single context index on a one-to-many and lookup table

Hello,
I've been successfully setting up text indexes on multiple columns on the same table (using MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE preferences), but now I have a situation with a one-to-many data collection table (with a FK to a lookup table), and I need to search columns across both of these tables. Sample code below, more of my chattering after the code block:
CREATE TABLE SUBMISSION
( SUBMISSION_ID             NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
SUBMISSION_NAME           VARCHAR2(100)       NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE ADVISOR_TYPE
( ADVISOR_TYPE_ID           NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME         VARCHAR2(50)        NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE SUBMISSION_ADVISORS

LAST_NAME                 VARCHAR(50)         NULL,

COMMIT;I want to be able to create a text index to lump these fields together:
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.FIRST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.LAST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.SUFFIX
ADVISOR_TYPE.ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME
I've looked at DETAIL_DATASTORE and USER_DATASTORE, but the examples in Oracle Docs for DETAIL_DATASTORE leave me a little bit perplexed. It seems like this should be pretty straightforward.
Ideally, I'm trying to avoid creating new columns, and keeping the trigger adjustments to a minimum. But I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for for your time and thoughts.

I would create a procedure that creates a virtual document with tags, which is what the multi_column_datatstore does behind the scenes. Then I would use that procedure in a user_datastore, so the result is the same for multiple tables as what a multi_column_datastore does for one table. I would also use either auto_section_group or some other type of section group, so that you can search using WITHIN as with the multi_column_datastore. Please see the demonstration below.
