Sizing question (beware newbie)

Hi all,
Here’s a question from a true newbie, I hope it is not
to ignorant to answer though.
It might be the case that this question has been addressed
somewhere in this forum already but that I don’t recognize
the problem due to terminology, to which I’m still to new.
The other problem is that don’t have the site online so
it’s not possible to show it live.
I’ve tried to make an index page (html) with an image
in the middle like a bar. On this bar a few buttons are placed.
When I preview this page in a browser it looks right at first but
when I use the ctrl button and scroll-wheel, (normally altering the
text size) it completely changes the size of the size except for
that bar image. The buttons appear somewhere else on the page. (not
a pretty picture)
Is there a way to prevent the use of ctrl combined with the
mouse scroll-wheel?
It was told me that using fonts measured as pixels this
wouldn’t be possible but that didn’t prevent this to
occur.
Thanks for any help.
Kind regards,
Lexz.

BW-SEM hardware sizing question

Hi all, please help me with sizing process
Now I'm doing sizing of the big BW-SEM system.
I'm using quicksizer and document "Sizing ASAP FOR BW ACCELERATOR" (https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001951182003)
There is such phrase: "In a comparison of SAP BW benchmark results with SD benchmark results we have obtained a factor of 2.28" (page 11)
what type of SAPS I obtain from quicksizer - SD or BW?
So, should I result from quicksizer tool multiple by 2,28?
Are there any official documents for this question?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Elena

Hi;
Currently our current 11.5.10 Production is running on a Two node architecture on HP-Unix PA-RISC with the 128 GB of RAM on the Application Server and 256 GB RAM on the DB Node.
For R12 the servers will be on HP-Unix Itanium and the sizing has been factored as 128 GB for the Application server and the DB will be on RAC with 128 GB of RAM each on the DB Nodes.
I want to know is the sizing correct?
When sizing a RAC Env is it ok to just split the current configuration into two and size the same on two nodes?
Please share your experiences.We do not know how your machine has process which mean we do not know your activiy on your system. You can check some benchmark
http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/benchmark/apps-benchmark/ebs-standard-benchmark-overview-192676.html
Its also important how mch cpu you have.
Let me give you example from our system. We have 2 node apps server, 2 node rac and db size is almost 18T and our system is working nonstop. Our db has 30CPU and 120g RAm for each node. For apps cpu count and ram count are not like that.10 CPU and 20G ram.
We are happy wiht apps side, but we still working on better performance issue for our db side

BPS questions from newbie

Hi SEM gurus,
I am a newbie to SEM. I was put into a SEM project that my company is implementing. I have gone through internal training but still I have some questions.
1. How does 'fields to be changed'/'fields for conditions' relate to single/multiple selections?
2. What is meant by 'internal creation of planning packages'?
3. Is FOX related to transformation library?
4. Is Data Slice in same as that in BW?
5. Where can I find more information to better understand BPS? I am more BW than BPS. My colleagues passed me some course manuals but I need more foundation materials. Any useful links?
Hope you gurus could throw me some hints.
rdgs,
Bryan Lee

Hi Bryan,
> 1. How does 'fields to be changed'/'fields for
> conditions' relate to single/multiple selections?
Fields to be changed typically have only single or range values for source values and single values for target values.
Fields for conditions usually support multiple selections.
> 2. What is meant by 'internal creation of planning
> packages'?
When you execute a planning function, the data of the planning package is processed in subsets. Those subsets are created by BPS. The users does not see them. If you are in BPS0 you can use "Execute with Trace" and each line in the trace corresponds to one internal package.
> 3. Is FOX related to transformation library?
There's no relation. FOX have it's own set of functions.
> 4. Is Data Slice in same as that in BW?
There are no data slices in BW.
> 5. Where can I find more information to better

There are a few books out. Search Amazon or SAP Press for "BPS".

FTP question for newbie -- How to access external volume?

I have set up an old Mac (running Tiger) as a server on my LAN; attached to this Mac are several Firewire disks. I want to use FTP (with retrospect Express) to automatically back up from another computer to these disks.
I can successfuly mount these Firewire disks using AFP on the other computer. But when I use FTP, I seem only to access the user account I use to log in. How do I get FTP to go those Firewire disks to transfer the backup files?
Please forgive me if this is a naive question... Thanks in advance for any advice!

To configure the FTP server in Tiger requires creating and editing certain files using the terminal application. So if you have no prior UNIX or command line experience you may find this tricky and you would need to read the man file for ftpd.
So I would suggest you try out PureFTP manager which is a front end application for an alternative FTP server.
I have used this Application and found it quite straightforward to use.

SD - situation/effort analysis, sizing questions.

Hi,
do not you know if there is some SAP methodology or template which will enable me to get an overview about size of the AS IS situation from sales and distribution point of view in an company?
I am looking for ideally list of questions which will allow me to estimate effort that will be needed for sucesfull rollout.
Example of questions coming to my mind....will existing business processes be only used or new have to deployed? How many sales areas (or e.g. shipping points) needs to be created? Etc.
Please consider this should be an SAP rollout for more distribution center(s).
Thank you!

Get a copy of the SAP ASAP methodolgy and use that or see if you can get a copy of a blue print that has the questions already included and work your way through it.

JTree sizing question...

Hello:
I have a JTree for which each cell contains a button. I have written a renderer that renders the button, and I realize that I have to do some special stuff to capture a click on the button. My question is unrelated to all of that.
The problem is that over time, the labels on my buttons change (and may become longer (wider)), but the tree size does not change. In fact, when I update the button label and the tree is re-rendered the rendering of the button gets "chopped off". I've put the tree in a scroll pane, but this doesn't help - the right side of some of the buttons get cut off to the original tree size. I've tried lots of different variations on setPreferredSize, calling repaint, etc, and am not having any luck. I've put together a demonstration of this behavior in a smallish application that I'm posting here, where I create a 2 node tree with buttons that read "Hi", then I change the button labels to "Goodbye" and re-render. You'll see that the button's are cut off about halfway through the button.
In case its important - I'm running java version 1.5.0_07 on a 32-bit Linux box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class JTreeQuestion
public static void main(String [] args)
    JTreeFrame f = new JTreeFrame();
    f.pack();
    f.setLocation(30, 30);
    //Draws buttons with "Hi" (short string)
    f.setVisible(true);
    ButtonNode.updateString("Goodbye");
    //Draws buttons with longer string, buttons get "cut off"
    f.repaint();
class JTreeFrame extends JFrame
JTree tree;
JScrollPane treeView;
public JTreeFrame()
    super("My Tree");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode root;
    root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode());
    root.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode()));
    tree = new JTree(root);
    tree.setCellRenderer(new ButtonNodeRenderer());
    treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);
    add(treeView);
class ButtonNode
public static String str = "Hi";
public static void updateString(String inStr)
{ str = inStr; }
String getStr()
{ return str; }
class ButtonNodeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                          Object value, boolean sel, boolean expanded,
                          boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus)
    Box theBox = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);
    super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded,
                                       leaf, row, hasFocus);
    DefaultMutableTreeNode jtreeNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)value;
    theBox.add(new JButton(((ButtonNode)jtreeNode.getUserObject()).getStr()));
    return (theBox);
}

For those who are interested. The DefaultTreeModel has a method named nodeChanged() that tells the tree model that a specific node has changed, and the model re-interprets the cell causing its sizse to change as necessary, so that the full button is rendered now.
Basically what I did was instead of calling repain, I call a method that I wrote that loops through all the tree nodes, indicates they have changed, then repaint's, and it all works out. My trees are relatively small, so this is fine, but if others face the same problem, you'll probably want to selectively indicate which nodes have changed so the tree model doesn't have to do more work than necessary.

Questions (warning: Newbie!)

Hey folks, hope all of you all can overlook the fact that I am indeed a noob. Here recently I've gotten fed up with my PC (viruses, security issues, slowdowns, etc.) so I've decided that I'm going to make the move to Mac. I've decided that I'm going to get a MacBook because I need a notebook and the Pro is out of my price range. I've got a few questions (some stupid) that I would greatly appreciate if any of you could answer.
1.)How is the battery life on MacBooks? I'll be in Europe for five weeks over the summer, and don't want to be constantly charging.
2.)I've heard that Macs tend to run non-native software very slowly, true?
3.)I have a copy of MS Office 2003 (for PC) will it be possible for me to install this on my Mac or will I have to purchase the office for Mac edition?
4.)Are documents created in Office for Mac able to be read on a PC as well (and vice-versa)?
5.)Is a Mac able to connect to a wireless network that uses a PC for a gateway?
6.)(And finally!) Is there a slot on the Macbook itself for the included remote? I couldn't find one in the gallery.
Thanks to any and all of you kind folks!

1. Battery for me lasts an average of about 4 hours.
2. Non-native software runs slowly only if you don't have enough ram. I recommend at least 1GB. I run Power PC programs all the time about as fast as native.
3. Well, not easily. There is a program out called CrossOver Mac that will run the software, but you have to pay for it, and the software runs much more slowly than the Mac version. I would recommend buying the Mac version, especially when they come out with the universal version Office for Mac 2008.
4. All office documents are cross compatable. The only exception, and this is temporary, are the XML documents created in Office 2007 for PC's.
5. Yes. You'll find that this is quite often the case with Macs. They can use everything PC, but PC's are mostly non-compatable with Mac file formats etc.
6. No, no slot. Get some duct tape.

Oracle/VB question - same newbie different question.

Hi,
I've just learned the magic that is getting VB to call stored procedures in Oracle - but now I have a question.
I have a procedure that runs through a table, this is the loop part :
loop
fetch staff_c into surname_str, first_str, salary_str;
exit when staff_c%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line('data ' || surname_str || ', ' || first_str || ' - ' || salary_str);
end loop;
close staff_c;
so my question is simply this, I'm using the following VB code to access a stored procedure which is passing a param in, and a param out -
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim param As ADODB.Parameter
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "dsn=PaulsRescueDB", "x", "y"
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.CommandText = "lang_count"
Set param = cmd.CreateParameter("@p_in", adVarChar, adParamInput, 10, "english")
cmd.Parameters.Append param
cmd.Execute
MsgBox cmd.Parameters(1).Value
conn.Close
what do I need to do in order to be able to treat the result of the stored procedure as a recordset - or am I mis-understanding something?
Thanks in advance,
Ed.

Just in case anyone else out there was interested here's a brief summary of the solution.
First lets look at the stored procedure as this is where the first and most important point is to be seen:
create or replace package types
as
type cursorType is ref cursor;
end;
so we're creating a cursor type variable called cursortype, this is then used in the following code:
create or replace procedure getemps( p_in in varchar, p_cursor in out ref cursor
as
begin
open p_cursor for select surname, firstname
from staff
where initcap(p_in) = surname;
end;
It should be noted that a cursor is effectively an area of memory specific to your session that stores a result set, the cursor is treated as a variable/object.
In the case of the above code the cursor contains the result of the select statement.
You will also notice that the code opens the cursor with the contents of the select (this is because whenever you create an object it is null - unless you give it an initial value).
The variable P_In is a varchar (when defining a procedure you do not specify the size of an int or varchar) and p_cursor is the returned data.
I do not know why p_cursor is both in and out, out alone would have been the obvious choice.
So we now have a stored procedure that takes a parameter to pass to a select statement, does a search and then returns a resultset (cursor).
Now to answer the original question, how do you use this in VB?
The code below illustrates (ADO):
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim param As ADODB.Parameter
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "dsn=PaulsRescueDB", "x", "y"
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.CommandText = "getemps"
Set param = cmd.CreateParameter("@p_in", adVarChar, adParamInput, 10, "foghorn")
cmd.Parameters.Append param
Set rs = cmd.Execute
While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print (rs.Fields(1).Value & " " & rs.Fields(0).Value)
rs.MoveNext
Wend
conn.Close
As you can see I am manually creating an ADODB object, specifying that the commandtype is a stored procedure and then appending a parameter to the command text.
You will also notice that although the cursor is the second parameter in the stored procedure I do not specify it directly but rather assign the ADO recordset object as the result of the ADO command execution.
Once I've done this I merely use the recordset as a normal recordset object.
CREDITS:
The stored procedure is based on the one supplied by Jens Link in the previous post.
The VB is a hijacked piece of ASP code modfied for VB.
If this helps anyone else out there besides me then I'm happy to have been able to give something back to the community that has helped me.
Ed.

Catalog database sizing questions

Hi There,
We need to create an RMAN catalog that would be able to support 8 databases 5 of which are around 50gb(40GB db files+10gb arcglogs) and the remaing 3 are about 120gb (100 db files and 20 archlogs).
Does anyone have any sizing recommendations regarding memory structures (sga, pga, large pool)? disk space? We are using Oracle 11.1.0.7 on windows 2008 server. The server itself is an intel box, dual core E5440 - with 16gb RAM.
Thanks

Hi rsar001,
The size of the catalog schema and database in your setup will not grow to more than 1GB (as long as you maintain a retention policy).
Just set sga_target to 1G.
As an example I have around 100 databases with sizes bewteen 10 GB and 2T and run a daily backup on all of them retention policy 1 month.
The catalog is and stays around 700M for more than 2 years.
Rgds,
Tycho

Sizing Question

I am using the quicksizer tool and had a question that I could not find the answer to in any quicksizer documentation.
When you fill out the EP quicksizer active users table there are 4 scenario categories:
     NW-EP-ESS (Employee Self Service)
     NW-EP-INT (EP Intranet scenario)
     NW-EP-PCC (EP People Centric Scenario)
     NW-EP-PRT (EP Custom developement scenario)
Do I fill out all 4 scenarios or just one. And if a user exists in both do I add them to both?
Appreciate your assistance,
Tom

With the help of a collegue I was able to figure it out. These 4 categroies in the quicksizer are just for notation. It really doesn't matter where you put the data. The only thing you need to fill out is concurrent users, think time, java iviews per page, url iviews per page, % KMC and total users logins within an hour.
Regards,
Tom

Enterprise DQ - hardware and sizing question

Hi, we are considering implementing Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (all components) and would like to know the hardware (memory, number of CPU's, etc.) sizing parameters/requirements for this software. Obviously, data volumes are a key factor. I'm hoping someone in this community can indicate the "hardware" size they have implemented DQ on and if there are any concerns/issues that, if not considered, can have an adverse impact on the performance and operation of this software stack.
Thank you.
Brian.

Hi Brian,
See my response to your separate mail.

CCM - Trex sizing question

Dear all,
I'm currenlty installing CCM and Trex on a development system. I was wondering whether someone of you had an indication on what the approximate required disk space is for Trex ?
The Trex will only be used by CCM and CCM (in our dev system) will have minimal (approx. 100-200) catalog items.
Thanks for your reply,
Best regards,
Kristof

Hi
<u>TREX is mandatory for CCM2.0. TREX is a required component of the SAP CCM 2.0, even in the scenario where the search functionality would not be used (i.e. in a scenario of just navigating the hierarchial structure and selecting items) the TREX is still a requirement for publishing and indexing of the published data.</u>

Tuxedo domain sizing question

Background:
This is a Peoplesoft app (PT 8.5, Tux 10gR3, Weblogic 11g)
We are moving from 4 app server virtual machines which each hosted a tuxedo domain (4 vcpu each, actually getting slices from 8 physical cpu each) to one physical server with 12 cores (2 6 core procs). We only need this horsepower for 7 30 minute events per year (course registration). Otherwise a single domain is fine.
We ran a test last event that showed a physical machine significantly outperformed the virtual when given similar resources, So we have decided to employ a large physical server.
We intended to configure 3 Tuxedo Domains, mostl;y as it helps us compare to where we came from (Webserver VM will still host one domain) so we are effectively throwing 4 cpu at each domain. This comes from an understanding that we shouldn't have too many appsrv processes in one domain. We currently run a a pre-spun 25 appsrv procs each domain, and we get ok performance. From the looks of our physical server test, our performance will improve.
During the peak of the registration event, we have around 500 sessions, we limited to 225 active http sessions on the webserver, which acts as the valve to the event. Note: all previous events were on PT8.48, OAS 10g.
So , on to my question.
Is there a way to make a single larger domain, with say 50 or more appsrv processes (mostly to avoid the config maint) or does anyone have any recommendations here?
Any and all input appreciated.

Hi,
Take these comments with a large grain of salt as they are generalizations and not necessarily applicable to PeopleSoft. I'd really suggest asking this question in their forums as there may be PeopleSoft specific configuration constraints that I'm about to violate.
In any case a Tuxedo domain can range from a single machine with a single 1 core processor, to many machines each with many cores. Once you move beyond a single machine, regardless of the number of cores, you are in a clustered environment, or what Tuxedo refers to an MP domain.

Database Sizing Question for 11i

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or tool that would tell me the optimal database size, for 11i.
I understand there was one for 11 that would tell you the best size after you told it the number of suppliers you have, the number of inventory items available, number of accounts, etc...
Thanks
Sanjay

Stefan,
I guess both of us were writing at the same time and hence I missed your post edited part. Let me explain the user part. You can think about them in 3 different roles:
Named users - Number of users in the system which may or may not have "Guest" users. Not much useful for hardware sizing.
Logged On Users - Users currently logged on to the system not yet logged off and user logged on to the system but killed the browser. But they are still in the J2EE system holding memory with session info. They are useful for Memory sizing.
"Active Users" - They are doing sometime with some "think-time". They could be "high/medium/low" users based on the "think-time". They contribute to both CPU and Memory sizing.
Based on the above definitions (which may vary with different models) sizing will vary. Once you know your user profile (how many of them and how they use), you can use quicksizer to have some initial estimate. In case you have access to SAP fields and/or support, you can contact for some additional information. Those are useful for initial stage. If you have your system available, run some load tests to verify your initial estimate and refine them.
Thanks,
Swapan
