Questions about grid

I have a grid what is binded to a query. I want to see the grid group by itemcode (that is why I set the CollapseLevel = 1, where 1 is the column item code). But, in the grid id' like to set in the column quatity and the row on which it collapse the grid (the row with the itemcode) the sum of quatities in the expanded list. How can I do that? (just like in Reporting, Inventory, Inventory Posting List where i have the name of the item above the detailed list of documents).
And also I'd like to know if I can get the position of a column of a grid in a form and it's properties (like width).

The details you would like to set on the 'collapsed row' is unfortunately not possible as far as i know... This row is maintained by SBO and functions only as a group header and cannot be modified. (if someone knows how anyway, please report!)
I think that if you have the grid, you can ask for its 'columns' list and then find the column you will need. You will get a 'gridcolumn' object or so. Check the SDK help: 'grid/gridcolumn/edittextcolumn/etc'

  • Question about Grid Control Agents on a Veritas Cluster (or any cluster)

    Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to setup Grid Control agents on a Veritas Cluster.
    My cluster is made up of two Sun M4000 servers running Solaris 10 x64 (node1 and node2), and 8 virtual hosts setup to fail between the nodes. Each of these virtual hosts has several mount points from a SAN, and contain Oracle 9 and 10 homes as well as databases. The versions are 9.2.0.8 and 10.2.0.3.
    I have a full grid control agent install on each node to mount points that don't fail over to the other nodes. These agents monitor the nodes themselves.
    Now for my question, is it better to do full intalls of the grid agent in each virtual host or to use the "emctl deploy agent" from the full installs already on node1 and node2 to the virtual hosts? Or is there some other, better way to do this.
    Either method results in 9 grid control agents on a node if all the virtual hosts are on that box. I've experimented with both agent deploys and installs a bit and found that the cpu usage goes though the roof with that many agents on one server. Maybe I don't have them configured correctly, but every now and then they spike cpu usage to 100%, and these servers have 8, dual core processors in them with 32GB of RAM.
    Thanks for any tips!
    Currently, my setup looks something like this, if it helps:
    ORANODE1...........................................ORANODE2
    user: oracle..........................................user: oracle
    full agent install....................................full agent install
    VirtualHost1
    user: ora_user1
    Oracle 10G Home
    repository database
    OMS install
    full agent install
    VirtualHost2
    user: ora_user2
    Oracle 9i Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost3
    user: ora_user3
    Oracle 9i Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost4
    user: ora_user4
    Oracle10g Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost5
    user: ora_user5
    Oracle10g Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost6
    user ora_user6
    Oracle10G Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost7
    user: ora_user7
    Oracle10G Home
    production database
    full agent install
    VirtualHost8
    User: ora_user8
    Oracle10G Home
    production database
    full agent install

    Will the agent 10.2.0.3 work with Grid Control 10.2.0.1
    Yes.

  • Few questions about GRID

    Hi there. Abap GRID is still mysterious for me I'd like to ask You few questions.
    In fieldcat I assign 'QUAN' datatype to column. Now it is displayed as: 1,000 3,000 and so on ...
    1) how can I determine to display values in that column as 1 3 ... (without ,000) ?
    2) how can I prevent from entering character-type values to that column? (for example '1000' is ok, but 'aaa' is not ok)

    hi,
    do this way to prevent comma appearance in the output  ...
    write it_output-field to it_output_final-field NO-GROUPING.

  • Question about Grid Control Installation

    Hello,
    I have two instances of 12i VISION apps with rdbms database 11i running on two different linux systems. I wanted to install 11g grid control to get familiar with the utility.
    Do I need to do the install on one of these linux machines or can I install it on a windows client?
    I need some help please.
    A/A

    Hello,
    I would suggest install grid control on separate server from rdbms, apps or even client machine

  • 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.

  • Sql developer: question about exporting data

    Hi,
    we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
    First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
    select * from
    select * from A where start_date = &date
    ) a,
    select * from B where start_date = &date
    ) b
    where a.name = b.name
    Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
    We solve this by making a script:
    first we define the variable, then we put the query.
    When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
    But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
    So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
    i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
    Thanks in advance!

    Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
    Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.

    K.

    Thanks so much for the reply.
    Before I posted my code, I double-checked my syntax and think I found the problem. I using Fragments at the beginning of my page, and at the end, to construct a wrapper table where I can put some fancier graphics, etc. I'm using the fragments and plain old HTML because using another gridpanel on each page is a bit cumbersome, and also I need the flexibility of possibly doing some dynamic things to this table... Because each fragment doesn't have matching tags to complete the page, I think that's screwing up the designer, as you suggested. For instance, here is my fragment at the top of each page :
    <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="1">
    <TR>
    <TD ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
    <TABLE WIDTH="595" BORDER="2" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDERCOLOR="#184266">
    <TR>
    <TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
    <TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="RIGHT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
    <TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
    <!-- WIZARD GRID BEGINS HERE -->
    Any suggestions on a better way to use includes to break out some necessary HTML??
    THANKS very much!

  • 3 questions about texture sizes

    Hi there all,
    I have 3 questions about texture sizes. First off, after
    doing a search in this forum, I found out how to find the maxium
    texture size my hardware can handle. However, this is only
    currently tells me what the texture size I should use for my
    computer. So basically, what my first question is, I wanted to know
    what would be the average texture size for PC's. Why I ask this is
    because arfter doing the command that finds my maxium texture size
    that my computer can handle, it says that I can handle up to
    2048x2048, but this doesn't help if lets say the standard hardware
    texture size is 1024x1024.
    My second question is, when you speak in maxium hardware
    texture size terms, is this for per object, per scene that is
    loaded into memory, or for the entire game?
    ... and my last question is, does hardware texture size also
    include basic shaders as well (meaning with no textures)? If not is
    there a limit on that as well?

    1. If you know what maximum texturesize the endusers
    graficcard can handle, you can build a switch to different *.w3d
    files with that are saved with different texturesizes. you can see
    how the hardware variates:
    http://nuttybar.drama.uga.edu/pipermail/dir3d-l/2005-September/009554.html
    but don't forget that the macs are limited at the moment to a
    maximum texturesize of 512x512. If the textures are bigger then the
    maximum texturesize they are scaled down to it. In your example a
    texture that is 2048x2048 would be scaled down to 1048x1048 if this
    is the maximum texturesize of the endusers machine.
    2. The maximum texturesize is per Texture. But the Textures
    are stored uncompressed in the VRAM of the graficcard. There is no
    way to check how much RAM is left and i am not sure what happens if
    you put a lot of data in it.
    3. A shader only layers textures like photoshop and renderes
    them depending on the settings of the shader. The maximum hardware
    texture size only limits the size of the texture, if you use no
    textures in the shader (setting all texturelayers to void) the
    model will be only rendered depending on the values that are given
    by "ambient", "emissive", "diffuse", "specular"
    Just want to add here that textures should be in this sizes:
    1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256,
    512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096 ...
    but can be also be combined like this:
    32x1024 or 512x256 and so on. this is just good to know.
    If textures do not fit into this grid of pixel values, the
    texture will be scaled up or down to the next size that is closest
    to it.
    if you type this code into the message window and execute
    every line, you can check the resulting texturesize.
    global pImage
    pImage=image(100, 1000, 24)
    member("world").newtexture("image", #fromimageobject, pImage)
    put member("world").texture("image").width
    -- 128
    put member("world").texture("image").height
    -- 1024
    This will happen to all textures if they enter the
    graficcard.

  • Questions about using the Voice Memos app

    I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
    -Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
    -When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
    -In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

    You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app.  You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
    Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
    App quality is excellent.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a couple of questions about the Satellite P300-18Z.
    What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
    Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
    What is the warranty on this laptop?

    Hello
    According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
    DVI - No DVI port available
    HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)
    Headphone Jack - External Headphone Jack (Stereo) available
    .link - iLink (Firewire) port available
    Line in Jack - No Line in Jack port available
    Line out Jack - No Line Out Jack available
    Microphone Jack - External Micrphone Jack
    TV-out - port available (S-Video port)
    VGA - VGA (External monitor port RGB port)
    Also you can connect it to your LCD TV using HDMI cable.
    Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

  • HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

    I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
    First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
    In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
    Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
    I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
    Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
    Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
    Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
    Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
    Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
    Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
    If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
    There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

    Hey Taantumus!
    Here is an article that will provide some guidance on this question:
    Apple ID: Changing your password

    The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
