Possible To Change SID / Retain Data?

I have a Oracle 11.2.0.3 VM running with a 12.2 GB database size. Currently I would like to take a snapshot / clone of the Oracle database 11g and replicate it. Obviously I would change the Linux OS hostname / IP parameters to avoid conflicts on the LAN however I would like to know if its possible in Oracle 11g (and acceptable) to change the SID on the said cloned machine once the machine has been replicated?
Currently my SID on the above mentioned database is ATL and after I snapshot the virtual machine and get the OS parameters unique, I'd like to make the SID = ORL. Is this acceptable in the Oracle DBA community or is it highly frowned upon to make changes to a SID once there has been data added to the database?

Yes you can change SID for Database after clone .
you can do that by using dbverify or recreate controlfile

Is it possible to change a master data key ?

Hi Experts,
i'd like to know if it is possible in any way to change/update the key of a master data table.
Reason: All of our projects have a certain nomenclature. Now I realized one project that does not follow that nomenclature and would like to change it accordingly (0PROJECT -> /BI0/PPROJECT).
The connection to the cubes is through SIDs, therefore I cannot remove the current record in the master data table and create a new (the correct) one.
I also cannot reload the cube after I possibly had changed the master data table.
For me, the simpliest would be to just update the key portion in /Bi0/PPROJECT and I think modern database systems would allow this (we are running BI on top of DB2), but may be I'm wrong.
I tried the update in the maintenance dialog in RSA1. Stupid enough it allows me to change the key and even the subsequent Save would work. However, by opening the table afterwards again, the old (worng) values are displayed again.
Would someone know how this could work ?

Hi,
Are you trying to change the value of a master data key for a particular record in the P table?
if this is your requirement, then the answer is NO. i don't think so..changing it manually doesn't help you.
I suggest you to load the same record from your source system with new master data key value and all other attributes with the same data as the old record.
Now you will have two records in your P table( one with the old value and another with the new one)
There is no harm in having the old record in your P table...deleting of any master data is risky and not appreciable ( but possible)
You need to use this new master key value in your transaction loads which will intrun connect to the master data using SIDs
By using the new value in your transaction loads, the old one will not visible in any of your reports...but will just sit in the P table with no use, which is still fine for you.
However, to laod this new value (in both master and transaction data) you need to get in touch with the functional team.
Modifying the data manually in BI/BW ( Unless there is an invalid data from source to PSA) will lead to inconsistencies and reconciliation issues. - NOT Advisable

Is it possible to change the requirement date of a component?

Hello Gurus,
When a non stock material is defined as a component of service order a requirement date is automatically determinded (RESBD-BDTER) on the current date. Does someone knows if one can be able to influence this field?
It means that I would like to be able to fill it by myself.
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Paul,
As you said "
The requirement date is calculated as follows:
1. The start date (earliest scheduled start) of the operation minus
2. The goods receipt processing time of the component and minus or plus
3. The lead time offset for the component in the order
The above values (point 2 and 3) can be adjusted to manipulate the
delivery date."
I have checked for stock & non stock item, but this calculation is not working for work orders. only i can change the date with offset. i checked material master record and change the GR processing time and planned delivery time but its not working. Do you have any idea why its not working?
Thanks.

Drives and desktop icons: possible to change sides?

Hey, I was wondering if there's any way to set new icons from drives and new content to show up on the left side of the desktop as opposed to the right side. I prefer to have my adium on the right, but whenever a drive or something loads, it ends up under my buddy list. Not a huge problem, just slightly inconvenient.
Thanks,
Will

I called apple on the topic... they said the desktop items automatically load on the right hand side, but can be moved and will open in the alternate location from there on. Thanks for your answers!

Macro Question: Possible to change master data?

I have found a few macros that supposedly work to change the master data for infoobjects (MATLOC_SET()...etc.) however when lauching these in the planning book i can see no change in the infoobject master data.
The idea is to change an attribute of an infoobject to remove the item from the selection within the planning book (i.e. change the planning type from A to B). The client wants this done directly from the planning book via a macro. Is this possible with the macro above or do I need to use a Bapi?
Thanx!

Thank you for the response!
The macro that I am using is directly from the 9Aexamples template. When executing the macro it asks for the field name and the value to be entered, trying various field names we have seen no change in the master data.
The reason for this is that we are working with a client that has thousands of products with various profiles. The client would like to have the capacity to execute a macro and remove the product out of the selection directly from the planning book. We thought this would be possible by changing the master data for the infoobject navagational attributes via a macro.
Any additional help would be appreciated! Thanx again!

Changing Bill Due Date?

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the due date of my account. I was assigned the 8th of every month when I originally started my service, and that worked for the most part, however recently my pay schedule has changed and it's only become possible for me to pay my bill later in the month. Since my due date is still the 8th, and I consistently pay on or around the 20th (when I get paid), my account is perpetually late and I would like to avoid this going forward.
Is it possible to change my due date, and if so, does it require any special payments such as a month in advance?
Thanks!

Yes it should still be possible, I did when I first got on Verizon & I think they just added or prorated the extra days to my next bill, which in your case sounds like 12, it will be a larger bill the following month because it will start around the 20th or whatever you want, but it will stop your account from being delinquent all the time, & it doesn't cost more, it's just your waiting longer to pay your bill as it's being prorated for those days, then it will all even out the month after that. Good luck....

Is it possible to change the dimension order when extracting data from HFM?

Hello,
When accessing Consolidation/Extract/Data is it possible to change the dimension order of the extract rather than extracting the standard order?
I can see you can change the dimension order visually by going to "Reorder dimensions" but this does not carry through to the actual extract.
If its not possible using this method is there another method? Trying to avoid using smartview for this purpose.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Rich

Hi,
No, it is not possible to change the order type.

I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug. I want to sync my data - contacts most important - from my itunes account...is this possible? Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug. I want to sync my data - contacts most important - from my itunes account...is this possible? Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

There are no contacts in itunes.
Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync. Just sync them to the new one.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.

Possible to change date format when importing files into Aperture 3

Just wondering if it is possible to change the format of the date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD when you rename files as they are imported into Aperture 3? I typically rename my files and insert my initials, date the photo was taken, sequence number, camera used and original file name. When I do this in Aperture 3, the date format used includes dashes. I would like to have the file renamed without the dashes in the date. Is this possible?

You should be able to edit the format in the import presets. I have done this for folder stucture of imports, I believe you can do the same for the file renaming. At the bottom of the drop down box for file naming at improt should be an edit option which brings up the import naming presets, select the "YYYY-MM-DD" and remove the dashes.

Which OIM version are you using ?
If 10g then you can set Object permissions for Form
If OIM 11g, Not possible in current release. You can achieve in some other way.
Workaround:
You have a field say "ROLE" on Request Dataset
End User will select value for ROLE while raising request.
Create one more field say "APPROVER ROLE". It would be "approver-only" field (It is a property in Request Dataset"
If approver wants to change some data then he'll select some value in "APPROVER ROLE" field.
In you approval workflow you can handle if "APPROVER ROLE" is not NULL then use this field else use ROLE field.
It is just a wrokaround.

Is it possible to change the way SAP stores a DATE field ?

Hi,
I have a scenario here where I have to read from a file and then upload the contents to a custom table.
The file is comprised of several lines, each line being formatted to accomodate several fields, according to their length specifications. It's the "standard" string style to import/export files from one system to another.
My question is: one of these fields is a date field, and I am required to order the table, afterwards, by this date field. I notice it comes as DDMMYYYY, and my SORT is not working. If I use, on the other hand, dates in YYYYMMDD format, the SORT works perfectly.
Does SAP expects the date to come as YYYYMMDD ? Is there a way I can change this "default" format ?
Thanks,
Avraham

Hi,
Yes, SAP expects the date to come as YYYYMMDD, this is the internal format.
I am not sure you will be able to change the default DATS format to something else.
Other internal date format : GDATU as in table TCURF.
Sugestion : use offsets to convert original date to internal date format and keep doing your SORT as you already did.
Hope this will help you find de good solution.
