Pros and Cons of various Boot Camp "Aids"

Could anyone point me in the direction of the following information?
I want to know where I can glean sufficient information to compare the Fusion/Parallel/MacDrive applications.
I am confused right now as to whether I need MacDrive as well as either Fusion or Parallel.

I used Parallels about 6 months ago and got a refund after a couple of days. I purchased VMware Fusion 2 days ago and to me Fusion blows away Parallels. Unless Parallels has made some drastic and major changes in the last 6 months, I see in my experience, that Fusion has left Parallels far behind.
Fusion is very easy to set up and extremely user friendly. It automatically found and setup my boot camp XP partition. I'm running the few Windows programs that I need to run right from the programs' icons in my Mac's dock.
One note:
Don't use phone tech support. I called them trying to get some assistance in getting Fusion set up to be able to launch my Windows programs from my dock like I'm doing now, and the support person told me that was not possible to do. He said that Fusion was not designed to work like that. I hung up and did a lot of experimenting, reading, and clicking and got it done on my own.
Just giving you a user's comparison. Hope this helps.

Pros and cons of various dual boot and virtual options?

I have purchased a 500 GB hdd 8 GB RAM Macbook Air with the intent of being able to run a few PC programs (i.e., no Mac versions) a few times a week, both of which are radiology image viewing programs. I can cover other programs with Mac software versions.
Years ago I worked briefly with a computer that used Parallels. It seemed to be OK--in fact, there was a compatilbility mode that allowed me to run PC programs along with the native Mac programs, so it must have been a virtual setup.
With this new hardware, I can make my own choice about whether to do a frank dual boot or whether to run Windows 7 as a virtual machine, I guess, under Parallels or VMWare. I would appreciate any input from people who have experience with doing any of the combinations, including comments about how difficult the installation is/was and whether there is a noticeable slow-down because of use of resources, particularly with the virtual methods. My Air boots quite quickly--does the boot time into Win 7 with Boot Camp extend boot time significantly? What other questions should concern me? (one other question that I asked in a different part of the forum concerns the difference between PC and Mac keyboards and how that is handled with dual boot or virtual machines...)
Thanks

There are some other options for running PC programs on your Mac besides installing Windows, which have the great advantage of not requiring Windows on your Mac, which is like putting a turd on your hamburger. Two options I have used are Wine winebottler.kronenberg.org and Crossover Run Windows on Mac and Linux, easily and affordably - CodeWeavers . Crossover is a bit easier to use, and Wine is free. Not every PC app will work on them, but many do.
Running a virtual machine will definitely be slower than boot camp. How slow will depend on the app and how much RAM it needs. MRIs and CTs with a lot of images can use a lot of disk space and memory.
If you have windows on your Mac you will need virus protection at least on the Windows part, which will slow your Mac down more.

Try the Boot Camp Assistant when you are in OS X and download those and follow the directions in BCA utility.
Then look up the Boot Camp forum. I suspect you thought this was MBP related forum, it is for 65 lb tower model (and well the new "nMP Late 2013 Mac Pro" http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/

There is a support page too

Pros and Cons to "booting" iPad 2 as developer to use multi-touch gestures??

Just like it sounds...
I have a new iPad 2 that i would like to have more multi-touch gestures and have heard doing this will do it. Also, heard that possibly the new iOS 5 will have it already. So how exactly do i do this and what are the pros and cons.
thanks,
John

It should be enabled in iOS 5 later in the year - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps

Pros and Cons not determining / having a Delivery Plant in Sales Order?

Hi Mates
Here I have come-up with one more (weired?) requirement from my client.
We have two plants manufacturing same product and supplying to all customers (some time in same sales order with two different line items).
At the timeof creating a sales order, marketing does't know from which plant the material will move and hence they don't want to fill the Delivering Plant field (VBRP-BUKRS at Shipping tab) for each Item.
They are insisting me to map it as above though I had explained about various pros and cons for not determining a mandatory delivery plant
in sales order like the requirements and shipping stuff.
Yet, yet they want this.
Has anyone come across this kind of requirement before? What best you had done for that?
Can I ask you what are the Pros and cons on not having a Delivery Plant at Sales Order level?
what if I could determine it Delivery level?
Any comments, suggestions, replies and advices are taken humbly.
Cheers
Ajay Kumar Veeranki

Dear Mahulenka
Thanks a lot for the reply. It do have helped me.
Yest it is VBAP-WERKS (typo error ).
Infact I had given the same solution for the issue.
Interstingly, they are insisting on a better solution fit for their requirement. Anyway shall 'highlight' the points again to them try to get it solved
Just wondering has anyone faced the same situation before.
Thanks again for the reply and good luck

15" Core Duo Macbook Pro Distorted Display after installing Boot Camp

I just put Leopard on and decided to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP Pro. After Windows Installed and I put on all the drivers I booted up to the Mac Side and then shut it down. After a while I booted it back up again and the display was all distorted I was able to fix the problem by reseting the PRAM and NVRAM but the problem keeps happening everytime I boot to the Windows side and then Shutdown. Is there any fix for this and does Apple even know it's a problem?
Thanks,
James

After a LOT of reboots, I've found a pattern AND SOLUTION for the problem:
For having this to happen, you have to be in OS X with everything normal then switch in Windows, then restart in OS X. (not a shut down) The screen goes inactive during the boot, but when in OS X, everything is normal. At the next boot though, the colors SHALL be all wrong, during the boot and once in the OS too. (Mac and Windows)
But I discovered that it happens only when you RESTART, not when you shut down the computer and then power it up. Seems like a parameter problem when Windows restart.
So my solution to stop having to reset the PRAM is this: when in Windows and wanting to go back to OS X, do not restart, shut down the computer and power it up to choose OS X. I hope this will help some people.
Olivier
P.S.: Restarting from OS X seems fine for now, no problem at all.

Pros and Cons of putting jspx pages under WEB-INF

Greetings All,
I have been using JHeadstart release 10.1.3 Prod for a while now and was generating pages in various subdirectories under WEB-INF/pages/ and things are working fine.
However, recently I came across a post in jDeveloper forum Re: Access JSF Pages within WEB-INF directory where Frank Nimphius has mentioned that there is no sense in putting JSP files that are used with JSF into WEB-INF.
I know that in struts world it makes sense to put the jsp files under WEB-INF to prevent the users from directly accessing them and force them to access them only via struts actions/navigation rules; but in JSF world we anyway expose the jspx names to the user and in-fact if we keep the pages under WEB-INF the url to access the pages also contains 'faces/WEB-INF/...'
Thus, I would like to get opinion from various experienced professionals participating in this forum and more so from JHeadStart team members on Pros and Cons of putting jspx pages under WEB-INF
regards - rutwik

Rutwik,
From your reply it seems that, for now, there should not be any impact on us as long as we don't upgrade to JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, as anyway the current JHS version is not certified against it.
Correct.
However, to be compatible with future releases of JHS and JDeveloper, will it be good to change the location of pages in our JHeadStart definitions to move them a directories above the WEB-INF etc and re-run the JHeadStart generators?
Yes.
Or, will the patch take care of modifying the current JHeadStart definations?
No, Service Update 1 has a different default value for the pages dir , it is now /pages/ instead of /WEB-INF/page/, that's all.
Also, with this patch, will we be able to upgrade to jDeveloper 10.1.3.1, which we would like to do once we have a production release?
Yes, Service Update 1 is compatible with JDev 10.1.3.1

Using CLOB data type - Pros and Cons

Dear Gurus,
We are designing a database that will be receiving comments from external data source. These comments are stored as CLOB in the external database. We found that only 1% of incoming data will be larger than 4000 characters and are now evaluating the Pros and Cons of storing only 4000 characters of incoming comments in VARCHAR2 data type or using CLOB data type.
Some of the concerns brought up during discussion were:
- having to store CLOBs in separate tablespace;
- applications, such Toad require changing defaults settings to display CLOBs in the grid. Default value is not to display them;
- applications that build web page with CLOBs will be struggling to fit 18 thousand chararcters of which 17 thousand are blank lines;
- cashing CLOBs in memory will consume big chunk of data buffers which will affect performance;
- to manipulate CLOBs you need PL/SQL anonymous block or procedure;
- bind variables cannot be assigned CLOB value;
- dynamic SQL cannot use CLOBs;
- temp tables don't work very well with CLOBs;
- fuzzy logic search on CLOBs is ineffective;
- not all ODBC drivers support Oracle CLOBs
- UNION, MINUS, INTERSECT don't work with CLOBs
I have not delt with CLOB data type in the past, so I am hoping to hear from you of any possible issues/hastles we may encounter?

Some of the concerns brought up during discussion were:
- having to store CLOBs in separate tablespace;They can be stored inline too. Depends on requirements.
- applications, such Toad require changing defaults settings to display CLOBs in the grid. Default value is not to display them;Toad is a developer tool so that shouldn't matter. What should matter is how you display the data to end users etc. but that will depend on the interface. Some can handle CLOBs and others not. Again, it depends on the requirements.
- applications that build web page with CLOBs will be struggling to fit 18 thousand chararcters of which 17 thousand are blank lines;Why would they struggle? 18,000 characters is only around 18k in file size, that's not that big to a web page.
- cashing CLOBs in memory will consume big chunk of data buffers which will affect performance;Who's caching them in memory? What are you planning on doing with these CLOBs? There's no real reason they should impact performance any more than anything else, but it depends on your requirements as to how you plan to use them.
- to manipulate CLOBs you need PL/SQL anonymous block or procedure;You can manipulate CLOBs in SQL too, using the DBMS_LOB package.
- bind variables cannot be assigned CLOB value;Are you sure?
- dynamic SQL cannot use CLOBs;Yes it can. 11g supports CLOBs for EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements and pre 11g you can use the DBMS_SQL package with CLOB's split into a VARCHAR2S structure.
- temp tables don't work very well with CLOBs;What do you mean "don't work well"?
- fuzzy logic search on CLOBs is ineffective;Seems like you're pulling information from various sources without context. Again, it depends on your requirements as to how you are going to use the CLOB's
- not all ODBC drivers support Oracle CLOBs not all, but there are some. Again, it depends what you want to achieve.
- UNION, MINUS, INTERSECT don't work with CLOBsTrue.
I have not delt with CLOB data type in the past, so I am hoping to hear from you of any possible issues/hastles we may encounter?You may have more hassle if you "need" to accept more than 4000 characters and you are splitting it into seperate columns or rows, when a CLOB would do it easily.
It seems as though you are trying to find all the negative aspects of CLOBs and ignoring all the positive aspects, and also ignoring the negative aspects of not using CLOB's.
Without context you're assumptions are just that, assumptions, so nobody can tell you if it will be right or wrong to use them. CLOB's do have their uses, just as XMLTYPE's have their uses etc. If you're using them for the right reasons then great, but if you're ignoring them for the wrong reasons then you'll suffer.

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.

Pros and Cons of Turning CE On or Managment Of Global Employees.

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement where we have to deal with the employees those holds two jobs, those can be in a different country or within the same country. We have a option to go with concurrent employment or we can go towards the old functionality of managment of global employees concept. My Question here is very specific to what are the pros and cons in both the scenarios. If some one can elaborate it a little or any documentation is available to compare both the plans.
Any answers would be highly appreciated. Thanks
Regards.

Hi Hassan,
We are currently working to implement Management of Global Employees (MGE).
Check out http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/22/e15a287d14f74c853f4bf8ab5fd4b1/frameset.htm and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a8/3300b1e299cd4c9fa78c8ad4aab007/frameset.htm
for details.
Remember, before implementing by activating CCURE GLEMP or CCURE MAINS, you must contact Michael Wulf at SAP via an OSS Note.
MGE is the functionality to handle various assignments between countries for employees so that the employee could be paid and/or have benefits in each country. It also enables additional infotypes to track the preparation and process of the global assignment.
Concurrent Employment (CE) is designed so that one individual can have multiple assignments within one country, with different pay rates, benefits, etc. Example is a school administrator who works 40 hours and then at night is an adjunct instructor for the school. If concurrent pay is activated, that individual could be processed in two different payrolls at different pay dates, but the system knows it is one person for taxes, SSN deductions, etc.
So really CE and MGE are two different functionalities to meet different requirements, but they each utilize the same foundation - the Person ID and an individual having more than one PERNR.

HT204053 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

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.

What are the Pros and Cons while joining tables at DF and Universe level

Hi Experts,
I am new to Data federator designer. I need help on the below.
Could you please let me know the Pros and Cons while joining the source tables in data federator
And While joining the DF target tables in universe designer.
Regards,
Gana

Hi,
1. I have created target tables based on source tables with one to one mapping and then join all target tables in universe.
Ex: Source tables: Infocube text tables, fact tables and 3rd party data base table
Target tables:Target tables are same as source tables
--- Yes this is the way to create target Tables and join them in the universe.These target Tables gives you the flexibility like in future your requirement is to add one more object based on some calculation which is not possible in the universe so that time you can create one more column in the target table and do the calculation. at the same time if you are using source table you can not do anything.
2. Created single target table with all objects of source tables and merged all sources tables data.
Ex: Source tables: Infocube text tables, fact tables and 3rd party data base table
Target table: Single table.
--- This is bit complex structure to merge all tables data in the one target table.in this situation you have to put more efforts and it is more complex.basically this type of target table is useful when you are merging data by multiple source into single or creating one target table based on the union of tables by adding two mapping rules or more and you can not join tables in universe.
Better approach is first 1. create target tables based on the source tables and join them in the universe.
Thanks,
Amit

What are the Pros and Cons of Using Batch Numbers over Serialization

Dear SAP Gurus:
Will someone please give me the benefits of using Batch Management over serial numbers in this case scenerio, or vice versa:
Client wants to trace all the components of an assembly in a BOM. Even the Raw material. The client sends the material out today and has the vendor assign serial numbers to the individual pieces, the client gives the range of serial numbers to use. We are looking at using batch numbers to accomplish this and issue one material and batch number to a production order. Then use MB56 batch where used functionality to view history. I am wanting to understand the benefits of this. Please advise and points will be awarded as always.
Also, in this scenerio, can you issue multiple material/batch numbers to one vendor op that has its own production order?

Yes it is a subcontract.
Example: This is the solution but need the pros and cons of doing this scenerio
Sheet of metal sent to vendor to make lets say 1800 peices of material number nas5703-01. All 1800 pieces come back and issued to a production work order using one bacth number for one material item so that batch number can be traced in history in MB56 and a fit up report.

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
2.what effect it does on the ume options to be choosen??
3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs
