Pros and Cons of Private or Shared Connections in Smartview

I am trying to understand the difference between shared and private connections in smartview. Is there any white paper available on this topic?

Have you read this blog?
Essbase Labs: Smart View 11.1.2 - Connections
as well as the official doco: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/sv_user/frameset.htm?ch03s02.html
From experience we prefer to use Private connections especially if you have reports that use Smart View formulas (e.g hsget etc). These formulas have a reference to the data source connection name meaning that users who have not configured this particular private data source connection won't be able to refresh the report.
Hope this helps.

Pros and cons for sharing ASM home

Hello,
Had a question on RAC with ASM...the ASM home is using the DB home...i mean ASM is sharing DB home...how bad can this be ???...i do not have a ASM home or it was never created...So how can this be resolved...or can i still use the db home for my ASM home??? what are the pros and cons for this ??

So you are telling me that, if this 3 node RAC
cluster which only have 1 database should be
fine..and what about when its come to patching ???
any big problems on that ???If the ASM needs to be patched, the database probably needs to come down. If the database needs to be patched, the database probably needs to come down.
These are true whether the ASM is in the same home or not.
The challenge comes when you have 2 or more databases (2 DB instances). If the ASM goes down for patching, both DBs probably come down.
But if only one DB needs to be patched, and the Home is ALSO the ASM Home, both DBs come down.
So separating ASM home and DB home is irrelevant when one DB is used, but is very relevant when multiple DBs are used and each DB has it's own ORACLE_HOME.

Pros and cons of creating a table with key

Hi Folks
I have some tables where there is no key defined in the source system. What is the best way to build such tables. In my case the source system is Teradata.
I have 25-30 columns in dimension and what is the best way to load this data where there is no.
What will be the Pros and Cons if I have a table without a key or if I create a table with 25-30 keys.

I recently purchased a Mac Mini and am using it with my TV. Here's what I found:
Using the HDMI connection on the Mac Mini, the image on the TV is very harsh. It's very bright, high contrast and garish colors. I did a lot of testing and am convinced this is due to the HDMI Display Profile in OS X Yosemite. I could not find any way to change the display profile in the Mac Mini as long as HDMI was the connection.
Using the miniDisplayport/Thunderbolt connection on the Mac Mini, with the Apple miniDisplayPort-DVI adapter and a DVI-HDMI cable the picture is perfect. (Note, however, that this connection only carries video; if you want audio you will have to use a separate cable to connect the Mac Mini audio line out port to your TV's audio line in port.)
That said, the larger the TV the less quality you will have displaying text. I suggest using a 21" or smaller TV as a monitor if you will be doing text work.
My setup is with a 40" Sony Bravia 1080p HDTV and the primary use is for video (concerts, movies, Skype, etc), not office apps. As I said earlier, the picture is perfect - brightness, contrast, colors, resolution are as nice as I could ask for.

Pros and cons of EPM and Classic Application.

Hi All Experts,
can any one tell me what are the pros and cons if create EPM Application
and pros and cons if we create Classic Planning Application
this is really urgent we have to submit this to our client as soon as possible

Hi,
The main difference between using of classic and EPMA is I think hidden in the first letter of EPMA. EPMA is for Enterprises where multiple performance management applications are considered applicable. When you have an HFM application, a planning application, a performance scorecard application, a couple of essbase cubes around and lots of reports pulling data from all these, sharing data and metadata becomes crucially important. And no mistake, classic planning is as good as EPMA planning and easier to handle, however, if your company or client is thinking of having a total EPM solution in place, then EPMA is the right choice. However, since you can always convert your classic app to EPMA but you've got only one bullet to fire, it might be wise to stick with classic application until your client/company starts imagining that sort of ambitious goal.

Pros and Cons selecting Ext to file Catalog

I am in a quandry. I bought LR 1. and never had the chance to put anytime to learn how to use it.
I am starting a new, so just got LR 2.2, and would like to do it the most practical and best way. I use an iMac 10.5, with 350 GB int HD, and have 3 Ext HD's ranging from 350 - 1 TB.
I only use my int HD just to run apps, everything else I placed them on my Ext HD.
So my questions is "What are the Pros and Cons placing LR Catalog in an Ext HD?

>So my questions is "What are the Pros and Cons placing LR Catalog in an Ext HD?
Since this is a fixed station there are none really except perhaps speed depending on how you connect to it. USB 2 is the slowest solution, followed by firewire 400 then firewire 800 and fastest is eSATA, but I doubt your iMac supports that.

SOAP vs RFC - performance and pros and cons

Hi,
I have been playing around with the SAP .NET Connector 2.0 between an ASP.NET 1.1 application and SAP passing in either SOAP or RFC connection strings to the proxy classes as a proof of concept for some integration work required for our existing customer website and teh SAP system replacing our legacy applications.
Other than issues relating to the ports that need to be opened in Firewalls between application environments can anyone provide me with any information or point me in the direction of any documentation regarding the performance differences between and pros and cons of using these two protocols?
The impression I get is that RFC performs better than SOAP due to the XML conversion overhead inherent in using SOAP calls.
I know that the ESOA direction of SAP means that SOAP is the desired protocal in the long run but is there any reason why one should be used in preference to the other in the scenario menttioned above?
Sorry if there is an obvious answer and thank you in advance for any help.
Andy

We did a lot of load tests to find answers on how the protocol can have impact on the performance. With our test systems RFC was about 3 times faster than SOAP and the network traffic was doubled with SOAP (approx.). And it seems to me that RFC offers more parallel processes (for multithreading application), but I'm not hundred percent sure on that point.
We used rel. 640 with Web AS, Client was .NET Connector and ERPConnect with .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0.

Pros and cons in setting AD domain trust into my AD domain for more than 10+ AD domain and some with same FQDN or label ?

Hi,
Can someone please share what is the pros and Cons of trusting AD domain for more than 10 different AD sites into my existing single domain forest let say ParentCompany.com ?
At the moment I only have one single forest AD domain with the Domain and Forest functionality Windows Server 2003. The main domain controller FSMO role holder is in the Data Center spread across three different VMs running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The main/parent company has acquired smaller business chain of 15+ offices in which they have their own Domain Controller and also their own domain, sometimes they also got the same AD domain between them (no trust or whatsoever in those 15+ AD domain).
Sounds crazy but yes, there is no standardization in them or whoever manage their IT infrastructure previously.
I'm now considering what are the benefits of creating the AD domain and trust versus importing those AD objects into my domain and then decommission them.
No need to worry about Exchange Server since all of the user in those sites connecting to the RDS to my ParentCompany.com terminal servers.
My requirements or goal are as follows:
1. Simplify the AD domain structure & maintenance
2. Try to avoid the disruptions of the user in terms of downtime and selecting multiple different domain everytime they login to their PC or SharePoint sites.
any kind of help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I think you mean 10 AD domains.
Managing multiple domains can be difficult for administration. I usually recommend using a single domain in a single forest with OUs to separate resources whenever it is possible.
However, if you can't do that then you can simply create trust relationships between your domains. The advantage is that you can enable access to resources to different domains. I do not see cons here.

I would recommend consolidating your domains into a single one. ADMT is a migration tool that you can use. The advantage would be the ease of administration. Also, by having multiple DCs for the same domain across sites, you will take benefit of High Availability

SAPSPRINT vs Local Printers (Pro and Cons)

Hi guys.
Anyone can help me out citing pro and cons by installing a SAPSPRINT over windows vs having printers installed directy over the Iseries Server.
Its planned to install productive printers which are very critical, so we would like to devise the best approach.
By installing the SAPSPRINT would avoid the bottlenecks if the printers are installed locally?
Thanks!

Hi Markus, nice to see you.
I agree with the fact that a central print server you can have a better administration of your printers.
My concern is that based on Note 19706 - Tuning the Spooler, productive printers must never be defined with access type U or S, and all printers created on that print server are type U, which is the recommended access method for remote printers.
Group 1 (Productive printer):
All printers with the shortest possible response time.
For example: Goods receipt/issue sheets, delivery notes, patient entry sheets,...
Printers with a fast response (Group 1):
Devices with short response times must NEVER be defined with access type 'U' or 'S'. When a problem occurs (e.g. network problems, PC is switched off etc.), a single printer linked to a work process by access type 'U' disturbs all the connected printers. All printers in this group MUST be linked with access type 'L' or 'C' (depending on the operating system). If they are not linked to the server, they must be defined in the host spooler as "remote printers" and forwarded via the the host spooler.
So why this note recommends to put printers locally in order avoid network issues and so on, but SAP also recommends a SAPSPRINT as printing solution?
Does SAPSPRINT overrule any recommendation to local printers and is a definite solution way better than local printing?
Thanks Markus again

BPM pros and cons

Hi All,
I would like to pros and cons of BPM.
Performance point of view,
and Maintenance point of view.
Please give me suggestion, <u>when should i use/avoid BPM?</u>
Thanking you in advance.
Regards
Piyush

Hi Piysuh,
Just to summarize what I have ubndertood of your scenario.
You do not want the JDBC adapter to be connected to your Database always and so , you will be using a DUMMY file, and when the file is picked up, you want to perfrom your DB look up and then perfrom an RFC call.
This can be implemented as follows without a BPM.
1. File Adapter to Receive File.
2. A mapping such that the DB lookup is perfromed in the mapping program ( user defined function or java mapping ), there is a <a href="/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/08/23/lookup146s-in-xi-made-simpler">Blog</a> available on how to perfrom DB lookup in your mapping on SDN.
3. map the data picked from your datbase to your RFC request message and use an RFC receiver adapter.
Think this might help. Do let us know if you need any further help.

Bhavesh

Pros and cons of using DB LINK

Hi
I am planning to use dblink in my current project to acess external database .But is there any other alternative to this ? What are the pros and cons of using Oracle DB Links ? Can anybody help me on this ?
Thanks in advance .
Pradipta

Well, it depends on where you want to access the other database from. If you want to access tables in database B from a stored procedure in database A, then you have to use a dblink to do it. If your front-end application sometimes needs data from database A and sometimes needs data from database B, then you could establish two connections, one to each database, in your front-end, and use the appropriate connection for the different queries.

Neptune for UI development Pros and Cons

Hi ,
we are evaluating neptune for UI development for what are the pros and cons of using neptune.
i see only that webdynpro abap developer can be easily moved to neptune , some javascript knowledge is still required.
some question
1) can neptune make calls to odata services ? do that requires code in javascript or ABAP
2) any accelerators provided by neptune like for workflow scenarios , list and details .
3) can sap standard fiori apps extensibility or modification is possible through neptune
4) security if its accessing business functionality directly
regards
Yashpal

Hi Yashpal,
I will give you my view, but as Robbe says I work for the company and other SAP developers like DJ Adams has other development tool preferences than me ( I call his Sublime Text development spaghetti coding and he sees Neptune as a crutch that restricts a developer's freedom but this is just a friendly point-of-view discussion and I have promised him a beer in Walldorf next time our paths cross there)
So the important message is that SAP has opened up their platform for different development tools and it is now a choice for the individual developer or SAP customer. This is a fantastic move by SAP and I think a bit overlooked by the community, Look at the new Xamarin partnership as an example (and yes they are a competitor, but I did mention them )
Now the pros of Neptune are in my opinion:
ABAP developer friendly development (removed 90% of JavaScripting needed)
Connected to the SAP transport System (Software Logistics as is)
Drag Drop designer that gives structured code (easy for a new developer to take over code, compared to the spaghetti provided by DJ <- I'll need to buy a few extra beers for that remark)
Native json communication provided by the Neptune Server (you can argue all you want about Odata, our solution is more flexible gives incredible performance and superb and easy to use offline capabilities)
Integration with Adobe build, use an SAP program to generate hybrid apps (The average ABAP developer does not install cordova and build hybrid apps - with Neptune he/she does)
Integration with SMP. Automatic connection with the REST API's of SMP both on-premise and in the Cloud
Reduced time to market. One of the largest SAP implementation partners in the Nordics stated that Neptune reduced development time by 80%
Free templates (Advanced templates such as fully functional PM, HCM, SD templates are available Experience | Neptune Software <- sorry for the marketing but you did ask)
UI5, all of the other third-party tools (Not SAP tools like App Builder, Eclipse etc) uses non UI5 frameworks. I personally believe that SAPUI5 (UI5) is the future of SAP UX and thus it only makes sense to keep a common and future-proof framework.
Network crunching. We optimize all networking. Which makes sense for mobility.
no extra infrastructure needed - it is a certified add-on and takes 15 mins to install.
Works with most versions of SAP. We even have alot of customers using 4.7 (we need the ICF so nothing lower). This is something the community often forgets. Yes it is cool to play with the latest Netweaver release, but do our customers have that installed?
Cons (woot!)
Cost, even if Neptune is very affordable it still requires license for productive usage (free for developers though - and hey we need to live as well ) So custom coding is cheaper in respect to license (but not in TCO in my opinion)
Generated code, even if we have added as much freedom to code custom JavaScript as possible there will always be restrictions in generated code compared to notepad. (But I haven't met an issue that couldn't be solved by custom coding in the Neptune Application Designer yet)
Other backend systems. Neptune is based on ABAP and as such it obviosly works best with an ABAP backend.
.... (Add stuff from other non Neptune ppl )
Regarding your questions:
1. Yes you can use Odata, best way is to consume it on the ABAP level, but you can of course consume it through JavaScript as well (Not recomended by me)
2. Yes see above (free templates and also premium templates by our partners)
3. No you can't modify a fiori app with Neptune, but the two solutions work perfectly together (You can add Neptune apps in the Fiori launchpad) One of our partners have created an RDS solution based on both Fiori and Neptune.
4. Neptune is an add-on to Netweaver and as such has no extra security in itself beyond that (And we seek not to do that). But we support any security you wish to add on top. I strongly advice having a look at the SAP Secure offering (App protection and MDM) as well as SMP (also the new Cloud edition which gives easy affordable protection for your backend)
So that was my very biased answer

Dataguard in 9i ----Pros and cons

I need to setup dataguard on the client side
IBM AIX 5.3, ora 9.2.0.6
Whats are the Pros and Cons in Oracle Dataguard 9i
share your Experinece please

I manage the setup Dataguard environment on Windows
One more question
IF the Primary database goes down how can i bring the Secondary UP?
in this case i assume it is a failover...
Since STBY has a different database name how does the end user connects to the standby?
Do i need to change the APPserver configurations and tnsnames.ora or ORacle will handle it
Thanks to Syed Jaffar hussain(The Human Fly) for the documents he has provided
whihc he sent almost 6 months back on Dataguard
What happens when a DDL happen on a Primary database
Does the redogenerated on the primary gets applied to the standby..?
Should get applied isnt it

Too worried to upgrade software. The pros and cons

From a NOkia lover to others,
I am all for making improvements and fully understand that we can't always get it right first time every time but atm I am too concerned with the fact that updating my software will create problems that are non-existent in my eyes.
My girlfriend updated her (my old) N70 software last week and now her phone is in the repair shop. This could just be a coincidence but....
I had an N95 (on orange) and was stung when the "unlucky for some" version 13 was installed on the handset. See the epic thread here "N95 firmware upgrade affects battery life" (couldn't post link)
I carried out the full back up to my card as instructed but the games I purchased would no longer work so had to re-buy them. The battery life was killed in eight hours due to the wlan making a connection attempt as long as the battery would allow it to happen. The point is... all of this was not happening before the update.
It was that bad that in the end I was forced to upgrade / get a new contract before I was entitled to one from Orange and had to fork out for two contracts to get the handset spec I needed.
I now have an N95 8GB and have no qualms with it what so ever. It has version 20 atm and pc suite informs me there is an update every time I boot the program up. So far.. I have declined to update.
So what are the pros and cons and is it more of a risk to chance losing the licenses I have paid for and update if nothing is wrong?
Best Regards

The swordsman that goes to war thinking of saving himself had better not go to war at all.

I myself am also worried. A friend of mine told me if there is no porblem with your current version of firmware for your phone then why update? It is not a assurance that after updating there would be no problems/bugs with the new version.My friend has a point. Why would we update if there is no problem with your current firmware version? Some would say it would be faster, there would be more improvements to the music ( which I know would be depending with your hardware and not the software).
I am thinking of updating my firmware with a Nokia Service Center here in my country (Philippines). It is for free at the moment because my phone ins under 1 year Warranty. But I am thinking twice after what my friend told me.
I hope my opinion helps you all out here.

Well put, dp. I fell in love with Arch for this very reason. After spending a couple of weeks on a variety of distros (Redhats 7.3, 8.0, Mandrake 8.1, Libranet 2.2), I found Arch and it ALLOWED me to learn so much more than these other distros. Arch IS very user-friendly.
hmm this would be contrary to your concept of "user-friendly", no?
[cutcutcut]
i know alot of people don't want to have to learn anything about their computer or their OS but that is just plain stupid i think. you need to know a little something about most other tools you use in order to use them properly and safely. point and click is like a self hammering hammer .... a waste.
EDIT: i used to be very opposite of this opinion before i used arch. but being "forced" to learn more has been very helpful for me and others.
Against my concept of "user-friendly"? No. I think that Arch Linux is extremely user-friendly, but not so newbie-friendly. Arch, as you say, has "forced" me to learn alot, and enabled me to do so by being simple and transparent; things work as they say they do, without to many surprises, but they are not self-explanatory, which is what a newbie requires.
Now, let me clarify: I wasn't suggesting an actual GUI install. I think Arch's current install (while imperfect) is much better than, say, Redhat's. Any user should be able to navigate the menus easily and make the choices that need to be made. I am against a GUI installer for the forseeable future as well. I was referring to including an option for HWD (which you say will be included in the future, so scratch that) and an option to install GUIs for sysadmin (like one for pacman, etc.).
It seems your against this on the basis that it would impede learning a bit...well...Is the Arch Linux goal to educate about Linux? I mean, I think that it's possible that a better goal might be to spread the USE of Linux, which might be facilitated by including some admin tools. Only as an option. People who want to learn will, and people who don't will only become frustrated and abandon ship.
I would worry more about impeding the spread of what I consider to be an incredibly powerful, flexible computing platform, one that is quite user-friendly and potentially quite newbie-friendly...
Okokok...all that being said, I understand exactly what you're saying and can appreciate your view and desire to preserve Arch as "unspoiled" in a certain sense. Definitely a valid point.
So, before any of this newbie stuff is truly considered, I think we can all agree that the Docs should be polished to a healthy glow.
P.S. Sarah, I though you had retired from the AL team, but I'm glad to see you around the forums just as much as ever!

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.
