RAC with ASM and without ASM

Hi all,
we planing to install RAC 11g instance active/active . and we are using SAN storage RAID 10.
I know ASM is nice feature . but it need more maintenance in future . This is what I see
it from Manual and training . for patching ..... because it maintain as instance.
why I do need ASM since I have SAN and I can control mirroring ...etc
I need sold answer here ?? why I need to use this feature that already can be covered using another facility like SAN.
Best Regards,

What I have found in a RAC world is there is maintenance no matter which way you go, A cluster file system will require upgrades, patches, etc. RAW volumes will require extra effort in allocation, etc. as well as increase the number of files in the database. ASM requires additional instance on each node to maintain which is quite simple and rolling patches in ASM is becoming reality slowly. I have found that removing the management of RAW volumes is more trouble then the maintenance of the ASM instances and the added benefits of ASM outweigh the maintenance for sure. I found that the cluster file system mainteance is pretty well a wash.
As for ASM being widely used, the most recent RAC clusters (last 3) I have built have all been ASM....... 1 on HPUX and 2 on Linux (Red Hat and Oracle Enterprise Linux) and future clusters coming up that I know of are all going to be ASM as well. While it may be true that a lot of existing RAC environments have not yet gone to ASM almost all new RAC environments are. It is certainly taking hold. If you look at the effort on a large database to move to ASM from RAW volumes or cluster file system it can appear to be a lot of work and that is true, but in the long run my experience with ASM has been positive therefore I would not hesitate to recommend new RAC clusters be built with ASM and existing clusters should have a migration plan in place. As with some cluster file systems like veritas, GPFS, etc. There is addtional cost involved where ASM does not have the additional cost so moving existing clusters can save $$........ RAM volumne management may not fall on the DBA but someone has to manage all those volumnes at a SAN level and that is additional management just may not really be with the DBA.
Just my additional 2 cents worth.
Hope this helps.

Acquisition with vendor and without vendor

Dear All,
This is my first time using FA in SAP Business One.
I have a lot of question about FA in SAP B1 especially in FA Acquisition.
There are two kinds of acquisition. With vendor and without vendor.
If we choose the aquisition with vendor, we must enter the vendor and the JE will be created like this
                                  Debit             Credit
V01                                                 1500 USD
Asset Computer       1500USD
It seems the the JE create like AP invoice, so we can continue the out going payment for the vendor.
But the problem is in Acquisition without vendor.
I have a scenario.
I buy a car. I create PO > GRPO> AP invoice--> Out going Payment.
After that if i run the acquisition without vendor.
The JE will be created like this
                                                                Debit       Credit
Clearing Acc. Asset Acquisition                             1500Usd
Asset Car                                                 1500 USD
( Please correct me if my Journal is wrong )
From this Journal Posting, i find some thing odd.
When i buy a car and i created the GRPO.
The JE will create the Asset car position in Debit.
After that i create the Acquisition without vendor. The Journal also posting the Asset Car account in Debit. So the Asset Car account balance become 3000 USD.
So what must i do to avoid this problem.
I check the document FA. It is said that before create the Acquisition without vendor, the AP invoice must already be created.
In the documentation, they create the AP invoice in service type. Is it a must to create the AP invoice like this ?
Please tell me what should i do if create the Acquisition without vendor.
Any suggest or solution would be great.
Thanks in advance
Regards
KK

Fixed Assets are created in the add on, not the item master.
Your choice is that
1. all fixed asset puchases go through a clearing account and a different team is responsible for creating the assets & performing the acquisition, (1 step for one team, two for another) or
2 that the person acquiring the asset creates the master data item in fixed assets, then the acquisition with vendor (one two step process)
Depends on the size of the organisation and the roles & responsibilities within the organisation

Sales return with warranty and without!

Hi,
I have a scenario like sales return,
2 cases, with warranty and without warranty
I need your guidance on controls,
1st case with warranty,
Stock has been taken in to the plant with respect to sale return order.
I generate service order SM01 (Non revenue generated)
Maintain operations and material
goods issue and operation confirmation
technical completion.
Now I run DP90 for resource related billing. And need to control that service order cost does not go to billing document. But I don't want to bill the customer.
Please correct me, I only settle my service order and leave it. How should I go about it. Please help me.
2nd case, when there is no warranty,
I create a service order SM02 (revenue posting allowed)
Maintain operations and material
Then run DP80 to generate quotation and confirm quotation.
goods issue and operation confirmation
technical completion.
Run DP90 for billing the customer.
Could you please suggest me if I need to make any changes to this. If so, which part of it (SPRO) i need to configure.
And as per my understanding if service contract exist then it will help to determine fixed price in with out warranty case.

Hi,
Yes I could able to run DP90 though I don't declare the order as revenue based. Infact the if refurbishement order (SM03) has to trigger automatically from sales order RA. Infact if it is revenue based we canot even generate it from sale order.
You can even refer to this following link which states that cycle.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/4a8df09e0311d189b70000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]
I have only doubt during this process billing is based on DIP profile. But how does pricing procedure is coming in to picture. And how and where to link Pricing procedure. Please guide me. And from one of my collegue came to know that accounting Indicator can be used to get discount condition in pricing procedure so, that when we run for Warranty cycle we can bring that condition to get 100% discount through KBM1 condition type.

What is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking

hi friends,
i would like to know what is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking.
thanks
skrishnan

Hello,
Picking refers to preparing the right quantity and quality of goods for shipping on schedule as required by the customer.
Once picking is configured, SAP Sd automatically generates picking lists and picking labels which can be tagged to the relevant goods. SAP can be configured to ensure that picked quantity is confirmed before goods are issued. This can be done using transaction code VSTK. In T-code VSTK, picking confirmations can be set, which ensure that goods picked for delivery are in accordance with picking slips.
Picking thus helps in monitoring each item using the picking status. Picking is normally done in SAP SD by a shipping clerk.

Oracle11g RAC with partitioning and cross instance parallel query problem

I have set up a 300gb TPC-H database using a 4 node RAC environment (8 cpu per node, 16 GB memory, 2 GHz processors) the system is served by 2.5 terabytes of SSD for its IO subsystem managed by a combination of ASM and OCFS2.
When I run a large parallel query (number 9 in the TPCH query set) I get:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments [kxfrGraDistNum3],[65535],[4]
with all other arguments blank. There were some reports of this in version 9, but it was supposedly fixed. Has any one seen this behavior or have a work around?
Mike

Good Idea! Why didn't I think of that? Oh yea...I did. Unfortunately TMS CSI is an update only partner type CSI so I cannot submit a SR. The 600 lookup was how I found the old stuff, but it didn't have any 11g references. I hoped maybe someone in the community had encountered this and had a workaround. By the way, the querey looks like so:
select
nation,
o_year,
sum(amount) as sum_profit
from
select
n_name as nation,
extract(year from o_orderdate) as o_year,
l_extendedprice * (1 - l_discount) - ps_supplycost * l_quantity as amount
from
h_part,
h_supplier,
h_lineitem,
h_partsupp,
h_order,
h_nation
where
s_suppkey = l_suppkey
and ps_suppkey = l_suppkey
and ps_partkey = l_partkey
and p_partkey = l_partkey
and o_orderkey = l_orderkey
and s_nationkey = n_nationkey
and p_name like '%spring%'
) as profit
group by
nation,
o_year
order by
nation,
o_year desc;
the other 21 queries, all using the same tables and degrees of paralell and cross instance settings, executed ok.

Problem with Oracle RAC with DRCP and persistent connections

Hello,
I am having a problem that has me stumped. I cannot get SCAN, and DRCP to work together nicely.
Right now, I can connect through my scan hostname fine without connection pooling, once I enable it I start having connection time outs. I found if I specified outbound_connection_timeout in sqlnet.ora that it times the connection out to the time I set in there. If I don't set this option I get a "ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred".
The odd thing is I can leave connection pooling on and connect to one of my rac instances individually and it doesn't experience this problem. The only time it pops up is if I combine multiple rac instances (Through the use of SCAN or tnsnames.ora) and I enable connection pooling.
I don't know which direction to go to even diagnose this, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Can LabVIEW call a DLL built with VS(2005) C++ with /CLR and Without an Entry Point

My project requires me to convert a C++ program to a DLL and having it called by LabVIEW. Due to the complexity of this C++ program (converted from fortran using f2c -C++ option), it cannot be compiled without using /clr option. I did build the application standalone (/clr), and it functioned fine. When I build it into DLL using VS2005, I was forced to use No Entry point option and without using DllMain in the C++ code. Eventually the DLL was built without error. But after I call it from LabVIEW, I was not getting calculated results as expected. I added a testing function to the C++ code of the DLL and just try to modify a parameter, it will not, but only return the input numbers. I was passing data by pointer and not by value, so I expect this parameter output be modified. I suspect that the DLL didnt get executed at all as it has no entry point specified.
Am I on the right track to approach this task, or I am heading to totally wrong direction here? I believe due to the fact that my C++ was from f2c and use vsf2c.lib and so on, the code is managed code, so that a regular DLL cannot be built from it with an entry point. How can LabVIEW call such a DLL? Am I right on that? I really need your advice here for a right approach to this problem and possible implementation "watch outs"...Thanks!
Bryan

Hi...Finally I was able to compile my code with an entry point defined and without using /clr. I can also call this DLL from LV and got back a variable from a little test function added to the DLL. But the function that was used for my main application in the DLL crashed LV and I got a pop up box from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime Error! "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way, please contact the application's support team for more information". In Visual Studio I also got the following message: (I eliminated most of the "No symbols loaded" messages that are not errors but just info.) I would apprciate if someone can take to look with your more "experienced eyes", many thanks! Bryan.

Calculate accurate datagrid height with variableRowHeight and without any empty row

hi ,
how can i calculate accurate datagrid height with variableRowHeight="true" and without getting any empty row.
Currently i am calculating datagrid height on updateComplete event of datagrid as follows:
public function onUpdateComplete() : void
this.datagrid.headerHeight=50;
datagrid.height= datagrid.measureHeightOfItems(0, this.datagrid.dataprovider.length)+this.datagrid.headerHeight;
with following datagrid properties:
<mx:DataGrid
dataProvider="{dataArrayCollection}" width="100%" rowCount="{dataArrayCollection.length}"
id="datagrid" updateComplete="onUpdateComplete()" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0"
fontSize="12" wordWrap="true" variableRowHeight="true" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
With this approach the issue is, i am getting scrollbar on datagrid's container. I want scrollbar for datagrid instead of its container so that i can have only rows to be scrollable and not the header. Also, if i set verticalScrollPolicy of datagrid as "auto", i get empty rows.
So,is there any way to have datagrid with following properties:
variable row height
no empty rows
word wrap for headers as well as for rows
Scrollbar for grid i.e. header should remain fix ,only rows should be scrollable
no horizontal scrollbar
TIA

Reformatting ASM disks without ASM available

Hello Everyone,
In a test environment I recently built a single instance Oracle 11G database using ASM to manage database storage disks. The O/S is HP-UX v11.31 and the ASM disks are LUNs presented from a SAN. For a number of reasons I have had to rebuild this environment again from scratch, the O/S partition has been rebuilt and I have installed Oracle 11G again. However, when I now come to create & configure my ASM instance it does not find any candidate disks. I believe this is because those disks still have ASM formatting from the previous 'life' of the environment and the Diskgroups were not dropped , or the disks 'wiped' prior to rebuilding the O/S partition.
My problem is therefore - How can I 'reformat' the disks for reuse so that they will appear as candidates during ASM configuration, given the fact that I no longer have any ASM instance in existence. I'm guessing that the answer maybe to run some HP-UX O/S level commands to do this ?
Any advice or suggestion would be much appreciated !
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi,
Thanks very much for this. I've run the command against the affected SAN disks and it has worked. All disks now appear as candidates when I run ASM configuration through OUI.
Thanks again,
Shaun

Playing movie with subtitles and without

Total newbie at making a film with subtitles and at using DVD Studio Pro
The person creating the subtitles did it in FCP and I just opened her project and then laid it on my video. Question is - how can I burn the DVD with the options of English only or with subtitles.
Do I need to have two movies imported into DVD Studio, one with subtitles another not (it's only a 30 minute video, so that's not a problem to fit on a DVD).
Or is there another way to handle it in DVD Studio?
thanks

Typically you would NOT have subs on your footage, but would add them to DVDSP as a separate file. You can create subtitles inside DVDSP but if you do there is no flexibility in manipulating them later.
Workflow is to create the footage in FCP, then to use that in a subtitler app to spot the speech and create the subs, then import the footage and the subs file into DVDSP.
As for setting it up in DVDSP, have a look here:

Qm check with HU and without HU for same material.

Hi,
I have a doubt, I am implementing in a chemical industry and I have the material that is 1st getting GR from production to Tank (Insp type 04) and then at a later stage i am creating a packing order with GR of the HU (insp type 04). problem is that i have QM active for GRN from production for both points but 1 is HU managed and the other is not. System does not allow without HU tick in Inspection type setup in MM. How do i go about doing GR for both HU managed and non HU managed in the same material?
Thanks,
Ariel.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I have 2 queries with this, i had already defined a new insp type (say Z040) as a copy of 04 and checked the tick for HU, i have also defined 2 inspection plans for the same material and set the manual determination but the system is not generating the lot for the HU managed material. How do i get the system to generate the lot. how do i trigger the user exit?
Please reply...
Thanks,

Database creation error: 9i RAC with Suse and LVM

We have managed to install 9i on a 2 server Linux cluster. All indications are that both nodes and the shared storage are up and running correctly. When we use dbca to create a clustered database, both nodes show up as install options.
However, when we attempt to create the new database, the install fails each time at 55% with a message regarding the file location <db name>rawtemp. The error is "The file cannot be reused; the file size does not match"
We have deleted the database after it has failed, and also deleted and recreated the /dev/raw location as well as the actual logical volume, all without success. Does anyone have a suggestion.
Thank you in advance!

Update: The actual error is ORA 1257 "Cannot reuse raw_temp, unknown file size"
