Similarities and Differences between HTML DB an Portal

Hi, I have several years of experience with Oracle Technology as DBA and Developer (Forms and Reports mainly). I'm excited and willing to familiarize with new technologies like Portal and HTML DB. I've been reading about both products and it seems they share similar principles in their arquitecture: both use dynamic page concepts, templates, and DB centric approach for building html apps.
It seems like HTML DB is like some sort of "little brother" version of Portal: you don't need and application server and others licence purchase for deploying database centric web apps using HTML DB.
So in short, can anyone portrait basic similarities and differences between these two products?.
Thanks ...!

The products have different purposes. Portal provides content aggregation, application integration and personalization. Together with the Oracle Application Server infrastructure you also get identity management capabilities such as a centralized LDAP-based user directory and Single Sign-On. HTML DB is a tool for rapid development of database centric web applications. Nothing more, nothing less. Portal allows you to bring together applications built using a variety of technologies. HTML DB is just one of those technologies that happens to be optimized for web development on an Oracle database.
Once you have built your application with HTML DB, you may choose to place a link to it on a portal page. You may even choose to make authentication seamless by making the HTML DB application a Single Sign-On partner application (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). Or, you may want to display some data from a report developed in HTML DB inside a portlet (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/omniportlet_index.html)
Granted, Portal does have database centric development capabilities (what used to be called WebDB), but they are not nearly as flexible as HTML DB's. HTML DB lets you control page flow while maintaining session state, has quite sophisticated report building capabilities such as column based sorting and pagination, form building capabilities such as declarative field level data validations, built in field level help, etc.

Difference between using the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI

Hi Gurus,
Could one of you please send me a document that lists the differences between the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI?
thanks in advance

Hi,
For groups, managedBy is an administrative convenience to designate “group admins”. Whatever principal listed in
managedBy gets permission to update a group’s membership (the actual security is updated on the group’s AD object to allow this).
In Win2008 and later managedBy also became the way you delegated local administration on an RODC, allowing branch admins to install patches, manage shares, etc. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755310(WS.10).aspx).
On the RODC, this is updating the RepairAdmin registry value within RODCRoles.
So the difference between them should be only the way they do the same thing.
For more details, please refer to the below article:

Differences between showing smartform in Portal and Backend

Hi SAP Experts,
we have developed a smartform which should be opened by clicking on a button integrated in a BSP-Application. All seems to be ok except for one little piece of text that is not shown (Exactly, the text is a calculated value).
We tested the same smart form in backend-system and there the text is shown. There are no problems.
So is there a difference between showing the same smartform in enterprise portal at the one hand and in sap backend at the other hand?

Types of buffering and difference between them

hi experts,
Types of bufferings and difference.
Thanks.

Hi,
Buffering
The major difference between the context buffer and the normal database and table buffers is that it is only refreshed at given intervals. There is no attempt to update it synchronously, or even nearly synchronously. This means that it is not appropriate to use it for every context or context module.
Buffering Types
Permanent (P): This is the default setting. In this case, the data is kept on each application server beyond the end of the transaction in which it is used. The buffer is reset every hour on the hour (8:00, 9:00...). You can reset the buffer manually in the Context Builder.
Temporary (T): Data is only buffered for the duration of the current transaction.
No buffering (N)
Buffer Size
You can set the maximum number of entries to be buffered. The default is 128. This number only applies to the permanent buffer for a single module. Within a transaction, all of the data that occurs is stored in the buffer unless you have switched off buffering for the module. It is usually best to leave the maximum buffer size set to 128. It is not often that a large number of key combinations occur within one hour on a single application server. Even if this does occur, you can expect combiniations from the first 128 entries to be repeated. The system resets the buffer after one hour, which should ensure that no one module monpolizes it.
Buffering Types
An I buffer is a table that assigns derived values to the input fields of the module. It
Only contains one entry with key values.
An E buffer is a table that assigns the derived values of the module tot he key fields of the context, It
contains more than one entry with key values.
can be a join of all I buffers for the modules buffered
Performance
The E buffer gives the fastest access, since it can find the values requested in the DEMAND statement in a single step. Under certain circumstances, it can return a smaller number of hits than the I buffer.

Difference between & and && operater and difference between and

what is difference between & and && oprater in java
and what is difference between << and <<< operater

i am sorry i dont know about << ,<<<< There isn't a <<< operator.
However I presume the operator being referred to is >>>
They are bit shifting operators.
In fact its the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/bitwise.html]very next page of the tutorial linked to above.
<< == left shift

AppID during application update and Difference between app id and product id

Hi
I understand once a app is in store it has a associated Appid. How does this differs from the product id?
During each app update does the product id's should be same?
or during the store certification process will the appid and the product ids be mapped?
How does the product id and App id differ if this is not the case?
Can you provide some article which actually explains what is the difference between XAP uploaded and xap after certification?
Regards
Varun
Varun Ravindranath Please 'Mark as Answer' if my post answers your question and 'Vote as Helpful' if it helps you.

Hi
In that case the dev account from which the update is done will have the unique id or appid and the appid or the product id mapping will be always done by the store certification process.
I'm not clear on this part whether the developer who does the update of the app should update the id or the process which does the certification of the app as an update will update automatically do it?.

Can someone explain the logic of retro in payroll??? and difference between /551 , /552 , /553..

Hi gurus,
I am learning Sap at this point of time. Requesting you all to clear the concept of Retro and PCR which is responsible??
I have gone through the previous links but still insist you to explain the same with an example.
Thnks in Advance!!!
Have a great day!!!
A day without sharing knowledge is a Day Wasted- Greek saying.
Regards,
PP

Example from T512W_D table:
   The employee receives an amount of 100.00 for the period 01/97. When retroactive accounting is run, this amount increases to 110.00. The amount 10.00 is created in wage type /551. When retroactive accounting is run again, the amount is reduced again to 100.00. This time, wage type /551 is not created since the amount no longer differs from the original net pay.
      When retroactive accounting takes place, the system creates wage types /551 (Recalculation difference) and /552 (Subsequent adjustment from previous month).
The difference between the old net pay (wage type /560) and the new amount calculated is stored in wage type /551 (Recalculation difference) in the payroll period for which retroactive accounting was run.
The amount is then transferred from wage type /551 (Recalculation difference) to wage type /552 (Subsequent adjustment from previous month) in the original period. Both wage types are stored in results table RT at the end of the payroll run, wage type /551 with its +/- sign reversed.
Example
   Creation of /553 and connection between /551 and /553:
   January in January
   /560    1000.00
   January in February February in February
   /560    1100.00          /560     1100.00
   /551     100.00          /552      100.00
   /553     100.00
   January in March     February in March    March in March
   /560    1150.00          /560     1100.00     /560 1100.00
   /551     150.00           /552      100.00     /552    50.00
   /553      50.00
   If the current payroll run is for March, the system determines wage type
   /553 by comparing the new net pay (for January in March) with the net
   pay from the last payroll result for the period (January in February).
   By contrast, wage type /551 is formed by comparing the net pay for
   January in March with the net pay from the original period, i.e. January
   in January.

Counter KF with 1 & 0 and difference between data type NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4)

Hi,
I need to create a counter kf which should populate 1 and 0 to this counter field. Please let me know is there any difference between data type
NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4).
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan kumar

Hi Pavan,
The basic difference between Number(DEC) and INT4 is its internal storage in system.
For Number (DEC) - Value internally stored as packed number with 3 decimal places whereas INT 4 as 4 byte integer without decimal places.
For counter KF, you can go for INT 4.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to tune the query and difference between CBO AND RBO.. Which is good

Hello Friends,
Here are some questions I have pls reply back with complete description and url if any ..
1)How Did you tune Query,
2)What approach you take to tune query? Do you use Hints?
3)Where did you tune the query and what are the issue with query?
4)What is difference between RBO and CBO? where u use RBO and CBO.
5)Give some information about hash join?
6) Using explain plan how do u know where the bottle neck in query .. how u will identify where the bottle neck is from explain plan .
thanks/Kumar

1)How Did you tune Query, Use EXPLAIN PLAN to see exactly where it is spending its time, and address those areas.
See the forum FAQ
SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
"3. How to improve the performance of my query?"
2)What approach you take to tune query? Do you use Hints?Hints can help.
Even more helpful is writing the SQL efficiently (avoiding multiple scans of the same table, filtering early, using built-in rather than user-defined functions, ...), creating and using indexes, and, for large tables, partitioning.
Table design can have a big impact on performace.
Look for ways to do part of what you need before the query. This includes denormalizing (when appropriate), the kind of pre-digesting that often takes place in data warehouses, function-based indexes, and, starting in Oracle 11, virtual columns.
3)Where did you tune the query and what are the issue with query?Either this question is a vague summary of the entire thread, or I don't understand it. Can you re-phrase this part?
4)What is difference between RBO and CBO? where u use RBO and CBO.Basically, use RBO if you have Oracle 7 or earlier.

Details and Differences between XML and AML

Hi,
I would like to know the differences between XML and AML. Also, basics and overview of AML, what is it? and when it is used?
Please suggest some good links.
Let me know if am posting to the wrong forum group.
Thank You.
Regards//.

This "AML" thing... it isn't acute myelogenous leukemia or Applied Microengineering Ltd or The Association for Media Literacy or The Association of Muslim Lawyers or Alaska Marine Lines, right? That's what my Google search came up with. Nothing XML-related.
Care to provide some more information?
