Pricing and Function Questions

Right now I have Creative Suite CS5 Video Premium. I am interested in upgrading every 2 versions (so am looking at mid 2014 for a upgrade to CS7) Usually, at most, these upgrades run me around $800USD, and then I'm good til CS9. I see that Adobe is pushing this Creative Cloud, but I had 2 primary questions.
1. This isn't Cloud Computing, is it?
I understand ACC offers many web-related services, but programs as powerful as Photoshop, Illustrator and the like can't be remote-hosted applications that I connect over to via the internet, right? Am I right in thinking that the ACC still requires the bulk of files to be installed, but then is in tandem to providing additional online services and benefits.
2. Will the pricing structure be flexible?
I would think that an "ala carte" would be PERFECT for ACC, since I can pick and choose just what I need. But with the recently announced 2 year production cycle, that means that to upgrade every 2 versions (48 months), I would have to be paying $2,250 vs a one time $799 upgrade like before. That's a near 300% increase in pricing. I love Adobe products, but this obviously has me concerned if I'm not seeing eye to eye with what ACC is offering.
Also, Adobe isn't planning on stopping individual product purchase are they? In other words, they aren't nixing a CS7 version for the sake of pushing people to Cloud services, are they?

I looked it over, and the following programs are really the only ones I'm interested in:
Photoshop (Extended if available)
Illustrator
Dreamweaver (really wish they'd integrate CF Builder function into this)
Acrobat Pro
I was looking at their Edge tools, and some seemed cool: Animate, Reflow, Inspect, Typekit/WebFonts. But that's pretty much it.
I saw that they offered per-product subscription pricing, but at $15/mo/app, even that would easily go over $50/mo. Don't get me wrong, if I wanted Master Suite, $50/mo is a freaking steal, but it just seems geared more towards school/studio pricing than individuals.

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.

Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

Buying Another iPhone - Pricing and Contract Question

I purchased an 8GB iPhone on launch day. My wife really wants one, and I really want a 16GB instead of the 8. She suggested I just give her mine, then go to Apple and get another, since her line is not eligible for an upgrade. Will I be able to do this? Would I HAVE to pay the 399/499 price? Would there be any benefit to reporting the phone lost? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I think (but not sure) that if you give your wife your iPhone it's not going to be considered as an upgrade and she should be able to update her service and have no problems, that's what happened to me when I got an iPhone as a gift and still had half a year on my contract. Now as a iPhone owner, you should get a $299 price on your new iPhone, even if you still have a contract (which you didn't specify), so it seems to me that you should have no problems as well with that. Upgrade your phone first and then your wife's and you should be fine. Don't report your phone lost, they will see it going back to service and it'll have to be activated, I really don't think you'll need to do that anyway.

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
     table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
     table 5 : Customer/Material
     table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
     table 4 : Material
5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

Hi,
You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
Hope this is clear.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Diff b/w BAPI and Function Module.

What is the difference between BAPI and Function Module....
By Interface programming do we mean posting data thru BAPI,BDC....

Hi Alex,
BAPI: Standard Interface in the R/3 system that allows the system to communicate with components of other business suites.
FM: These are the procedures that are defined in the Function Groups and can be called from any ABAP Program. FM allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions int he R/3 system.
The main basic difference between BAPI and FM are
1) All BAPIs are FM but not all FMs are BAPIs
2) BAPIs are remote enabled
3) BAPIs interface will not have a changing and exceptions. They can not be used to have use dialog.
Interface programs can post data to SAP either through a BDC, BAPI, IDOC etc. It depends on the type of requirement.
Hope this solves your question.
Enjoy SAP

Are the Pl/sql procedure and function atomic by themself

i want to ask a question does oracle pl/sql procedure and function support Atomicity for the database by themself , or they became atomic incase we call them using begin -- end;

You appear to be discussing transaction scope which is completely independent of PL/SQL blocks like procedures or how you call procedures. It's all in where commits (or rollbacks) are issued.
If you have a procedure like this
CREATE PROCEDURE p1
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO some_table( key, value ) VALUES( 1, 'Foo' );
INSERT INTO some_table( key, value ) VALUES( 1, 'Bar' );
END;where the first statement succeeds and the second statement fails as a result of a duplicate key, there will still be a Foo row in the table but the procedure will have thrown an exception. The caller of the procedure may choose to commit or rollback the change-- that will determine whether the first statement's results are made permanent. If you have a procedure like this,
CREATE PROCEDURE p1
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO some_table( key, value ) VALUES( 1, 'Foo' );
commit;
INSERT INTO some_table( key, value ) VALUES( 1, 'Bar' );
END;the commit will make the first insert permanent regardless of whether the second statement fails no matter what the calling code does (that's one reason that putting commits in stored procedures is generally a bad idea-- the caller is in a much better position to know what other uncommitted work has been done and whether it is safe to commit.

How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard? Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example). One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

> One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
> preferences, etc.
It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
- Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
- A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
- The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
- If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
- To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
- To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
- To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
(Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
- For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
- The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
(Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
- Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
- Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
- Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
- US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
- Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.

Procedure and Functions from ADF View Layer

Hi,
Before i ask my question ,I would like to mention that I have done lot of googling on this topic before asking this question.
http://adfhowto.blogspot.in/2010/11/call-db-procedure-or-function-from-adf.html
http://adf-tools.blogspot.ca/2010/03/adf-plsql-procedure-or-function-call.html
Lot of threads on otn forum too on this topic.
I m pretty new to ADf too.
Now most of our logic is in procedures and functions ,so on various events on form(view layer) I need to call procedure and function and then return values back to value layer too.
Now the approach mentioned in the link above is good whats best approach to return out parameters to view layer considering i will be using either the DbCall class for all calls to procedures and functions
I am thinking of this approach to Create a view with static fields,and in Model layer set values for these fields and access them in view layer or binding view controls to these fields.
From View layer i will call the methods in AppmodImpl which will be calling procedure( methods will be exposed as Client Interface)
Also in few articles i came across generic CallStoredProcedure and CallStoredFunctions.
But my main concern is how to share out parameters with view layer....can anyone give link of showing application of it on view layer.
Regards,

From your subject. am stating that, dont do all those stuff in backing bean. backing bean is 1:1 mapping with your .jpsx or .jsff .
best approach would be call those things your Application Module(model layer) exposed it. access the method over your pagedef. well said by ram.

Which smart tv (SAMSUNG U46F7000 or SONY BRAVIA W8 46'') has the best communication and functionality with apple devices?

Which SMARTTV (SAMSUNG U46F7000 or SONY BRAVIA W8 46'') has a better communication and functionality with apple devices (i pad- iphone).
Since the above manufacturers do not give me a straight answer and it is very important reason for me to make a choice please advise!

Sorry but I must correct about SONY!!!
The question was for Bravia series W9 and not W8.

SD & FI BI functional Questions

Hi Experts,
I need to ask some questions to customer on SD & FI functional related questions for BI Analytical reports..
Already cutomer implemented Data ware house Informatica with congnos reporting tool.
right now they want to implement BI.
please any one can share on what type functional questions could ask the customer.
Advance Thanks,

Hi,
A few more pointers.
Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
Understand the Business process data flow if any.
Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW (i. e need for ODS if any)
Understand the system landscape.
Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK

Va01:whay sap say pricing and condition missing data?

I want use the T-CODE VA01 to create a sale order.When I input one material 001 and it's quantity 250 and save the sale order,the sap show some error message like below.I thought it mean that the item of material 001 in the sale order miss some data about the pricing and condition.I check the item->Conditions and can not found any matter.I use the standard pricing procedure and the CnTy like PR00,K007,KP02,SKTO was exist.So my question was how could I found what the missing data was?Is there any one who have meet such problem can give me some reference or advice?Thank you.

Sumifs function question

Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
=SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
Thank you.
Alex

I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of conditions and add them up
