[SOLVED] Benefits of Using ABS

I really like the idea of ABS, and the ports-like functionality which is built into Arch Linux, but my question was, is there any improved functionality to using ABS? Why would one choose to use it over just installing the binary packages? Not trying to be argumentative, but just trying to understand what its intended purpose is? Can it be used to decide how programs are compiled, like the USE-flags in Gentoo? I'm just wondering what benefits one gets to using it.
EDIT: And yes, I have read the wiki page on ABS, but being new I don't really understand how one would implement some of those functions. I'm wondering if anyone uses ABS to install packages rather than installing the binaries as a general rule.

The binary packages that most of us use are what makes Archlinux a "linux distro". It's what almost everyone should use.
The availability of those build scripts and the Arch Build System are what make Archlinux a meta-distribution. Using Arch as a meta-distribution is what make it possible to use Archlinux as the basis for building your own distro. A good example would be the work that chenxiaolong and others are doing to make a Unity distro based on Arch. Just be warned that the Arch developers do not have time to hand hold people who are trying to "compile from abs" just for the hell of it. Sometimes packages don't compile from ABS! The Arch PKGBUILD is then a starting point; most of the work is done but getting it to actually compile can be frustrating. The same thing happens in Gentoo (then it's REALLY frustrating because you can't install it if you can't compile it -- there is no binary package provided by some nice overworked guy like we have in Archlinux).
If you want to build your own distro, or just a customized version of some package, then use ABS.
I too have measured significant perfomance gain by compiling everything from abs with custom cflags but that is not why I do it; I do it to have control to design my own distro, usually just to strip out unwanted dependencies and to make sure that I really can re-build my complete system from source code if archlinux.org should disappear from the net.
I think that it's nice to know that when you use Arch (binary packages) the potential is there to take even more control in the future as you learn more and are no longer a noob.

Oracle SGA benefits of using indexes

Goo day people,
We have been having performance issues and then the SGA was not sized coprrectely.
The size of the SGA was 720mb so we then pushed it to 4 gig which I blv is enough.
We then did a run of the tuning advisory on the top sql queries that were top one,
the advisor then pointed on that we need to use indexes on those queries .
We then advised the developers that they need to use indexes as it will improve
performance .. This morning the ADDM pointed out that we need to up the sga
to 5 Gig and I dont see this a solution to the problem.
I need to find a note on what benefits does using indexes have on the SGA and the overall perfomance
so that I can show the business that increasing the SGA wont solve the problem.

Action     Increase the size of the SGA by setting the parameter "sga_target" to 5120 M.One of the biggest impact of indexes (if they fit in the scenario) is in reducing the IO (by avoiding full table scans). Reduced IO means faster system. Absence of indexes would mean that you read lots of data into the memory [buffer cache] and data would flush out quickly too (to make space for the new data), resulting in more IO. So having indexes in place means you only read as much amount of data as required and frequently accessed data stays in the memory.
Kinda incomplete answer...Lets wait for other experts' comments :)

how come i was upgraded iso6 on my iPhone, but now I couldn't link up to iCloud, it keeps asking my icloud password then failed login. But my iPad upgraded it works!! how to solve my iPhone using iCloud?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Wiki or Robohelp - What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp?

What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp? I currently use RH9/RH9 Server and publish multiple SSL. The company is looking to stop using Robohelp and replace our online help authoring tool (RH) with a wiki. Are there any benefits of going to a wiki environment. What RH features/functions that I have today will i not have by having IT import our robohelp files into a wiki?
I know that a wiki is not an authoring tool, but someone must think it is and we'll still have all the functionality of publishing multiple SSLs, reports, etc once in the wiki environment. Any comments - is this the best route?

Hi,
There are many differences. The idea of a wiki is to allow anyone to view and/or edit the content. Depending on the wiki system, you can set access control for viewing and editing.
Wiki's typically have simple syntax (html in a wiki is a serious security risk), allow image embedding, links and attachments. You will need to learn the specific syntax (rather easy, but also very limited).
What will you lose? This depends on the features available in the wiki system as well as the available plugins. A few downsides:
- WYSIWYG editor limited, if at all.
- No snippets
- No variables
- Dropdowns (may be possible through plugins)
- Index
- Styling based on css classes (mostly supported through HTML which is a security concern)
- Only one version of your support system: multiple versions require multiple installations/configurations.
- No searching in attachments.
- No CBT (Though some wiki's allow comments in the wiki code)
- No Word/FrameMaker import.
- You have to create your own CSH calls.
On the upside:
- Most wiki systems are free, even for commercial use.
- The syntax is quite simple, allowing you to quickly write text.
- Wiki's typically offer good support for syntax highlighting.
- They are very easy to set up.
- Most wiki's have plugins to enable comments.
The greatest downside in my opinion is that you always have the latest version of all files. Whenever you update a page, everyone immediately has the latest version. And if you want to create help for a feature that isn't released yet, you will have to use access control to make sure not everyone sees the (unfinished) help for the unreleased feature. With RoboHelp you have a single source that creates a one way output.
We use both RoboHelp and wiki's: RoboHelp for customer help and wiki internally to share knowledge. And sharing knowledge is what wiki's are designed for.

Benefits of using vendor partner function

Hello Experts:
I understand the general use of vendor partner function. But what are the benefits of using vendor partner function? Is it for ease of reporting? Is there a functionality down the line that will not be possible if a vendor partner function is not used?
The reasoning for this question is, I am at a client that has the general association of vendor and remit to addresses. However, they also have a scenario where they have one main vendor, but there are 30+ remit to addresses. These remit to addresses are dependent on the plant that placed the order. As an example, the vendor is AT&T, but the plant that uses the service in Caifornia sends the check to a remit to address in Calif. The plant in Arizona, sends their check to another AT&T remit to address in AZ.
My current solution is, for the client to create the partner function that are more straight forward, one main vendor and one remit to address. As for the vendors that have multiple remit to addresses, i am opting out not to create the partner function. Which is why I am asking if there is an issue not using vendor partner function.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

It is certainly possible to work without partner functions in SAP.
It is almost impossible to work without partner functions in SAP if you do business with global players and need some comfort for your processes.
It is impossible to work without partner functions if oyu have to do Intrastat reporting with SAP and your goods supplier is located in a different EU country than your vendor.
In your special case with AT&T without partner functions, you would enter the invoice to your main vendor, the payment run then creates a cheque to your main vendor (and you then use Microsoft word to create a lable with the remit to address that you stick over the SAP printed address on the cheque ..... how does Finance department know that it has to create this lable?.....how will you be able to trace who got the cheque? ..........this is not a good practice)
Especially in this case the partner funtions gives the real benefit.
partner funtions are not for ease of reporting, as You cannot run analyses for any of the other partner roles supplied in the standard system.
if you use invoicing party, then the invoicing partyu2019s account will be charged instead of the vendoru2019s.

Benefits of using RMAN

I've not used RMAN before and am still kind of new to Oracle and I have a question about using RMAN.
We currently have all our databases on SAN and NAS and everynight they are put into hot backup mode and the SAN and NAS take snapshots of them.
We also do a full export everynight.
Given this setup what if any benefits would I see in replacing either or both methods with RMAN backups ?
Thanks.

I advice you to refer to a [documentation |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm] and to an excellent book " [RMAN Recipes for Oracle Database 11g : A Problem-Solution Approach|http://www.amazon.com/RMAN-Recipes-Oracle-Database-Problem-Solution/dp/1590598512] "
Here's some RMAN benefits from that book :
Here’s a brief description of the important benefits of using RMAN instead of usermanaged backup and recovery techniques:
* You can take advantage of the powerful Data Recovery Advisor feature, which enables you to easily diagnose and repair data failures and corruption (Chapter 20 discusses the Data Recovery Advisor).
* There are simpler backup and recovery commands.
* It automatically manages the backup files without DBA intervention.
* It automatically deletes unnecessary backup datafiles and archived redo log files both from disk and tape.
* It provides you with detailed reporting of backup actions.
* It provides considerable help in duplicating a database or creating a standby database.
* It lets you test whether you can recover your database, without actually restoring data.
* It lets you verify that available backups are usable for recovery.
* It lets you make incremental backups, which isn’t possible by any other means of backup.
* It lets you perform database duplication without backups by using the network-enabled database duplication feature, also known as active duplication.
* It automatically detects corrupt data blocks during backups, with the corruption relevant information recorded in the V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view.
* When only a few data blocks are corrupted, you can recover at the data block level, instead of recovering an entire datafile.
* You can take advantage of the unused block compression feature, wherein RMAN skips unused data blocks during a backup.
* Only RMAN provides the ability to perform encrypted backups.
* You can use RMAN with a variety of third-party storage systems.
* You can use a powerful yet easy-to-use scripting language, which lets you write custom
backup and recovery scripts quickly

How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database ?

Hi,
I have one more important question.
How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database in terms of performance wise for the access of data from HANA database as a secondary database.
I have 2 options and which is better for the good performance for accessing the data-
1 . In ABAP Reports in the SELECT statements by using CONNECTION (“HDB”) will this improve the
     performance.
      e.g : select * from BSEG into TABLE IT_TAB CONNECTION (“HDB”).
2. Will Create the Stored procedure in HANA studio and Call
   from ABAP as below by using NATIVE SQL–
     EXEC SQL
      SET CONNECTION (‘HDB’).
     ENDEXEC.
    EXEC SQL.
      EXECUTE PROCEDURE proc (IN    p_in1
                             OUT   p_out1   OUT   p_out2 )
   ENDEXEC.

Hi Pravin,
Option 1: In this case ADBC might even worsen the performance due to the overhead in the ADBC framework. OpenSQL is the method to go here, as OpenSQL - from the ABAP point of view - features the optimal communication with the database while ADBC has overhead like constructor-calls for the statement, parameter binding, etc.
Option 2: In this case ADBC is comparable with EXEC SQL but features more options, e.g. clean concept of multiple connection (connection objects via CL_SQL_CONNECTION), exception handling, etc. So I strongly propose to favour ADBC over EXEC SQL, but not simply for performance reasons. You might have a look at the ABAP Language Help in your system on more information on ADBC and the advantages over Exec SQL.
Cheers,
Jasmin

Benefits of using an RSL in an AIR application?

I understand the general benefits of using a RSL in a web-based application. That is, when a RSL is not merged into the code, it provides a quicker download. Also, a RSL can be edited without recompiling the main application. I am correct so far?
But my main question is what benefits does a RSL serve when it is used in an AIR application? The RSL would be downloaded when they initiate the AIR installer, so the “quick” download benefit wouldn’t be available. The only benefit I see, and please correct me if you see any other, is if a developer is using a RSL instead of directly embedding an asset into the code to provide a quicker compile time, eg:
<mx:Button label="Icon Button" icon="@Embed(source='c:/myapp/assets/logo.gif')"/>

ArchWiki wrote:Obviously, an external journal is only effective if the journal and its file system exists on separate physical devices.
That's the problem, I don't know if there's any benefit to having a separate journal partition on the same device, which all the other partitions use. Would localizing journal writes to one partition improve performance, or just create a single-point-of-failure hazard?

can someone help me with this issue?

Two suggestions: the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements. Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1. I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.

[SOLVED]Thunar not using Places

After installing xfce, followed by xdg user dirs (configuring them) and updating them, thunar won't display them in PLACES.
The custom icons for those folders are still shown, however.
hunar Version: 1.6.2 built using ABS (same thing with binary build, I built it with ABS to see if it would work, kept it that way)
XFCE version: 4.10
XDG version: 1.1.0 rc1
More information available on demand.

Problem occurs when you already have file ~/.gtk-bookmarks (with bookmark to ie sftp server). xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update won't overwrite existing file, so it won't generate bookmarks. Quick fix:
cd ~/
mv .gtk-bookmarks gtkbtmp
xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update
cat gtkbtmp >> .gtk-bookmarks
A working solution!
Thank you very much sir.
I'll probably add this to the wiki later if I get the urge.
