OS and databas time setting with sysdate value

Hi Experts:
Oracle claims “SYSTIMESTAMP returns the system date, including fractional seconds and time zone, of the system on which the database resides. The return type is TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.”
Last week on this site, I got the confirmation that systimestamp/sysdate function picks up current OS (Operating System) time only.
Here, I have some question for this point.
If OS and database time zone were set in different time zone.
What will be happen? for sysdate valur in codes?
also Oracle have a command to changes DB time zone setting as
ALTER database SET TIME_ZONE =<Timszoen>
does this command change OS level time zone setting?
Under this condition, if there are different time zone setting between OS and database level.
example as: LOCAL DATABASE OS timezone as PST BUT database as EST time zone.
what kind of sysdate value will be return from oracle sysdate function? PST time value or EST time value.
we have some issue in Linux and window platform with 10G database
Thanks

ALTER database SET TIME_ZONE =<Timszoen>
does this command change OS level time zone setting?
No it does not. Its for changing the time zone columns within the database. It will not work if you have tables with LOCAL TIME ZONE.
Whatever timezone your OS has, database will show the same.

Hello Prasad,
Before attending interviews.....First you need to understand general things like CV writing, projects, sub modules etc., you should be gain knowledge on these concepts then you can move further.
1. CV 2.Projects 3.your strenths in sap (reading..reading...reading....practice...practice...practice)
2.you please interact with your friends who is on trails, then you can get more information like interview process, methodology, technical etc.,
I am sending some real time interview tech questions which will useful for you.
Questions:
1.When tickets are raised by end users who will give priority? After resolve the tickets who will close the status?
2.In real time at a time how many normal periods, special periods, MM periods we can open?
3.What is client dependant & Independent?
4.How to transport configuration settings from one client to another client or production client, which tools we can use for transport?
5.Why we donu2019t assign business area to company code?
6.What is the difference between General GL A/c, Control A/c, Reconciliation A/c & Offsetting A/c?
Answers:
1.The priority is generally decided by the Coordinator on the client side. After tickets are resolved, they will have to be closed by the coordinator on the customer site
2. In FI as many as you wants. In MM only 2 (current month + previous
3.Certain tables and customizations made in one client will affect the other clients also - then it is cross client i.e, client dependent. While if the changes made in one client has no impact on the other client - it is said to be client independent
4.Transports from one server to the other can be made with the help of transport requests. When a configuration is done the system generates a request number. First release the task and then release the request. Use TC-SE10 / SE09, SE09: workbench transport; SE10: customizing transport. But currently no such difference actually exists.
5.because in case of multiple company codes, same business area can be used across company codes. Business area is cross company code, means it is not confined to one company code thatu2019s why we don't assign BA to any of the company codes. It is client dependant, not company code dependant. We can pass values from one company code to any of the BA in that client.
6.General GL Account are those used for standard posting like for example Income and Expenses Accounts
- Control Account are basically used for reconciliation between modules like FI and CO, to ensure that both the modules are in sync.
- Reconciliation Account are those specific covering ADK (A-Assets, D-Customer, K-Vendor). For example a Customer Master would be mapped to a Bills Receivable Reconciliation Account and any transaction that needs to be posted are done against the customer code.
- Offsetting Account are used for variety of reasons and few examples are Intercompany Postings, at the time of Implementation when TB and Balance sheet are uploaded would be offsetted against a dummy account.
All the best.....dont forget and pl assign points if useful and if u have any querries pl revert back
thanks

A filter value for Query is set with some value automatically

Hello SAP sourcing Guru!
I created a query which has several filters.
Some of Filter's type is VLV.
When I preview the query somehow the filter values are already set with some value even though I did not set the default value.
For example, filter name is Region and there are four regions: Asia, NA, Europe, and SA.
I want to select one of them from drop-down menu. But Asia was already selected when I clicked the preview button for the query. I want to see "Please Select" instead of Asia from drop-down menu. I did not select "Prefill value from cache" for the filter. I made the filter Optional only. I did not set Default Value either for the filter.
Any clues?
Thank you for your response in advance.

Hi,
In the Default value field of the filter prompts, you need to mention the Class Reference ID of the corresponding field. E.g., if you have Contract document phase as a filter, then in that if you want to display a blank or none value, then you should use null:2016.
Similarly for vlv type, the system has a value 616. Hence if you want to display a None value insteead of Asia, use the following in the Default value field:
0:616:null.
The way to find the class reference ID is to goto the RG > Class Reference > Look for the field that you are attempting to default on.
Hope this helps,
Vikram

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track. However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone. I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone. I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets. I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything. I hope we can find something.

Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

Sure, if the printers connect using the Ethernet port, you have 3 ports on the Time Capsule.
If the printers connect using wireless only, the Time Capsule will support up to 50 connections.
If your printers connect using USB, then you will need a powered USB hub. Something like this, for example:
Dynex 4Port USB 2.0 Hub DX-THUB16 - Best Buy

HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

Pre-populating a date/time column with the value entered in the last added item

I have a list with a column called "expected finish date". Whenever the user adds the very first item in a list, he/she should have to enter a value for this column.
I want to make all new item entries to pre-poplate this field with the value entered in the previously added item. This way, he/she wont have to re-enter the date every time (which rarely changes). How can this be done?

could create a second list ("state") with column ("default finish date")...
create a workflow on main list... if column is blank/empty, pull from second list... otherwise, update second list with the value that was entered.
Or, customize the form (InfoPath or JavaScript)

Problem with currency translation and variable time ref. with 0FISCPER

Hello,
We have a problem with a currency conversion with a variable time reference (as iobject we use 0fiscper)
We created a currency conversion for several key fig:
Our settings:
Exchange rate Type: EURX
dynamic ex rate determination
Source cur from datarecord
Fixed Target Curr (EUR)
Variable time ref.: End of Period
Special Infoobject: 0fiscper
When we run the DTP we get the following error:
<i>Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 00.00.0000 in the system settings.</i>
ending the DTP in a message type X.
In table TCURR and T009/T009B all necessary information is available.
After debugging the function module, it looks like the created date (created from the FISCPER) is set to 00.00.0000. This results in the error above.
Does anybody have experience with this error and more important know how to solve it?
We also have a 0FISCYEAR available but in the TCURR table al rates are defined per end of the month. When trying to use 0FISCYEAR as InfoObject in the variable time reference, a diffrent error occurs: Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 01.01.1001 in the system settings. While the 0FISCPER is 2001001.
Is there a bug in the function module? (couldn't find a SAP note)
We are working with BI 7.0 and SP12
Best regards
Steven

Please can you give more detail on how you were able to resolve this issue? How did you add 0fiscper to the transformation? I am on BW 3.5, how do I fix this same issue on it? Please help, this is urgent.

API to create value set with attribute values ?

Hi
I was hoping someone might be able to help with this question.
I am creating a series of value set values using fnd_flex_val_api.create_independent_vset_value and fnd_flex_val_api.create_dependent_vset_value as part of a migration.
These APIs do not allow you to pass in attribute column values.
How can you create a value set value which has attribute values populated ? Is there another API does anyone know ?
Thanks a lot
Scott

OamAuthn cookies are not set with encrypted value in https login with FFbro

we have developed a custom login page which is deployed on oam server itself .
In custom login page we are passing 3 userinfo like username ,passowrd and request id as part of authentication parameter .
We have developed our own javascript to pass all these information using ajax call .
Below are the snippet of ajax method which is posting the data to oam server .
var uname = $("#username").val();
var pwd = $("#password").val();
pwd = pwd.replace( /&/g, '%26' );
var requestId = $("#request_id").val();
var oamAuthenticationUrl=$("#oamAuthUrl").val()+'/oam/server/auth_cred_submit';
var postdata = "username=" + uname + "&password=" + pwd + "&request_id=" + requestId;
$.ajax( {
type :'POST', url : oamAuthenticationUrl, data :postdata,
complete : function (xmlHttp, statusCode) {
// some code if user login is done successfully ......
Here we are making login page call using ssl port Like our login page is https://oamserver:14101/.....
This code is working perfectly fine in internet explorer but in firefox oracle access manager is not setting any value to oamAuthnCookeis.
I mean before logging and after logging value of oamAuthnCookies remains same like
LoggedoutContinue .
Thanks,
Arun

This is a known issue of CEP (Common Extensibility Platform, a DLL that supports displaying extensions). Code like “document.cookie” in HTML extension is invalid because CEF (CEP integrated CEF3 to display HTML Extensions) intentionally disables cookies on "file://..." for a variety of reasons.
However, CEP stores cookies at:
Windows: "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\cep_cookies"
Mac: "/Users/yourusername/Library/Logs/CSXS/cep_cookies"
Please let me know if more information is needed, thanks

Get Managed Metadata (Taxonomy) ALL Lists with Columns and ALL Choice Lists with Columns VALUES programmatically

Hi there,
How to get Managed Metadata Lists ALL Columns and ALL Choice Lists Columns that are used in the Site Collection programmatically please.
Regards

Hi sharepointaju,
Managed Metadata list is a hidden list, that you can access it through
http://siteurl/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList/AllItems.aspx, then it is similar to other lists, you can use server or client code to interate each field in the list, show the the value for each item.
For all choice list columns, I'm not clear what you mean in this situation, do you mean to get all choice columns in the site collection, if so, iterate site columns, and lists to get list fields, check whether it is a choice type field.
This may be not your requirement, please provide more information how you want to get which value.
Thanks,

How to export "Managed by" field of Distribution and Security groups and import with new values? (Exchange 2010, AD 2003)

My Active Directory environment is 2003 functional level and we have Exchange 2010.
I am trying to find out the best way to do a mass edit for the "Managed by" values of our security and distribution groups.
I know we can export the "managed by" field by csvde but I am not sure this is the correct way to do it. Also in the case that there are multiple users assigned to be managing a distribution group it only shows one value. Also powershell from Exchange
2010 can be used with "get-distribution" but as our AD environment is 2003 is this correct also?
Finally once the data is exported to csv can it be edited to then reimport and udpate the existing group managed by fields with new values?
Not really sure that the best way to go about this is.
Summary - We have 2003 AD with Exchange 2010 and I am trying to export a list of all our Distribution/Security groups showing the group name and managedby values so we can edit and update the
existing managedby values with new ones. In some cases we have multiple users as the owners.
Appreciate any advice on how this can be best achieved. Thank you.

Hi,
We can use the following command in Exchange 2010 to export "Managed by" field of Distribution and Security groups:
Get-DistributionGroup | Select-object Name,@{label="ManagedBy";expression={[string]::join(“;”,$_.managedby)}},Primarysmtpaddress | Export-Csv
C:\export.csv
After you changed the Managed by field in export.csv and saved it as a new file named import.csv, we can run the following command to set with new value:
Import-Csv C:\import.csv | Foreach-Object{ Set-DistributionGroup –Identity $_.Name –ManagedBy $_.ManagedBy}
Hope it works.
Thanks,

My text messages are coming through out of order! I have checked the software and the time setting is on automatic!! Very frustrating... any other advice??

When reception allows the iPhone sends and receives the messages, this is also dependent on the reception of the other phone you are communicating with. If you really feel you have a problem, contact your Carrier about the problem.
