The difference in SID,INSTANCE_NAME,DB_NAME,GLOBAL_NAME

hi,
who can tell me the difference in SID,INSTANCE_NAME,DB_NAME,GLOBAL_NAME
many thanks,
zhiwei

who can tell me the difference in
SID,INSTANCE_NAME,DB_NAME,GLOBAL_NAMEthe SID, or Oracle System Identifier, uniquely identifies your Instance on the server, it is usually set in an environment variable called ORACLE_SID
the INSTANCE_NAME must match your ORACLE_SID. In Real Application Cluster, you can have more than one INSTANCE per DATABASE, in which case the INSTANCE_NAME's must be unique.
the DATABASE_NAME usually is the same as INSTANCE_NAME, but can be different (ex:RAC), and it is saved in the CONTROL FILE. to change it, you must recreate the controlfile (Oracle 7) or use the NID utility.
the GLOBAL_NAME can be anything you want, is sometimes used in TNSNAMES.ORA, can be changed with ALTER DATABASE RENAME, and defaults to DB_NAME.DOMAIN_NAME
the SERVICE_NAMES provide one or more SERVICE_NAME to be registered in your listener.
As always, read the ***fine*** manual

What's the difference among "global name", "db_name","instance_name"......?

Hi. Everyone.
I am really confused about the following.
What are the difference among
1. global_name
2. db_name
3. instance_name
4. domain_name
5. SID
6. service_name(tnsnames.ora)
Can anybody explain the difference among them clearly?
I read some documents, but I am really confused.
One more question!!
Can I set or change "global name" in initSID.ora file?(not global_names)
I used the following command on "open-mode", but it seems to be permenant.
After I re-started the databases, I found that global_name was changed.
-->alter database rename global_name to "global_name".
--> shutdown and restart
--> select * from global_name.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Difference between SID, DatabaseName, InstanceName, ServiceName, listener

Hi Expertise,
Please tell me the difference between SID, Database Name, Instance Name, Service Name and listener.
And the use of it.
Regards,
Mariappan Arjunan

Hi Mariappan Arjunan
I think your Speak about the Oracle RDBMS
SID, Database name and service Name can be the same name for a "Normal Database",
In RAC DB, with for example 2 nodes, you have 2 ORACLE_SID: RACDB1 and RACDB2 for example.
the Database name can be RACDB
The service name can be RACDB.us.oracle.com (DB name +domaine)
The Listener is the process which allows remote connection on the DB.

What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.

Difference between SID, Service_name, Database_Name and DB_ID.

Hi Experts
Can anyone please clarify me whats the difference between the SID, Service_name, Database_Name and DB_ID.Thanks in advance
Ram

In summary:
SID - uniquely identifies an instance. This given as the intialisation parameter INSTANCE_NAME. The SID and the Database name should be the same in a single instance database, but in RAC environment where multiple instances are associated to one database, there will be different name for each instance.
Service Name - Registers the database on the oracle network. For instance, when the database starts, it needs to be registered to the listener service for other clients to see it on the network. This is what you need in the SERVICE_NAME entry of the tnsnames.ora. This is specified as the initialisation parameter SERVICE_NAME.
Database_Name - This is the unique name that identifies all the mounted databases. This is the name you used when the database was created and is shown in the initialisation parameter DB_NAME.
DBID - This is the Database numeric Identifier. It is found on the header of all controlfiles and you can see it in v$database view. e.g select name,dbid from v$database. You can also see this when you connect to the database with RMAN. e.g rman target /
Note that you can use DBNEWID to change both the db_name and DBID. You can read more on all these to get more details

The difference between SSL & TLS

dear experts,
i need to know The difference between SSL & TLS and in which situations i should i have to use them.
thanks
Labib Makar

Labib,
At a 10,000 foot level v3.0 was superceded by . v1.0.
TLSv1.0 (RFC 4346) was an upgrade to SSL v3.0 (but they don't interoperate)
This "Cisco.com document" describes the workings of both in some detail: SSL: Foundation for Web Security
it states this as some basic differences:
TLS uses slightly different cryptographic algorithms for such things as the MAC function generation of secret keys. TLS also includes more alert codes.
Also See: Wikipedia TLS
As far as which to use, it would depend on if both sides (server/client) support each? TLS v1.0 or v1.1 is newer.
Most modern Browsers tend to support both.
i.e.
Firefox 3.5.7 supported both SSL v3.0 and TLS v1.0
Internet Explorer v6 supported both SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS v1.0
etc.
Hope that helps.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Can I get my Note 3 Replaced with a newer build or switch to a different phone and pay the difference?

First off, let me say, I really love my Galaxy Note 3 -- it is an awesome Smartphone... Unfortunately, I am one of the users of the problematic Note 3s... I got the phone and it worked great for about the first week I had it (I got it outside of the area where I live)... then I got it home... I usually have a good 4G signal at home -- inside and out.
My office is literally just on the other side of my college campus (less than a mile away)... I go from a good 4G signal to no signal in my office, with the exception of about a 1 foot square section on my desk where I can get 1x, and occasionally 4G. I worked with the support team on Twitter and was sent a new SIM card, and that seemed to help unfil a few weeks ago.
Every other Verizon 4G phoen I have seen at my office almost always has at least 2 bars of 4G... If not 4G, then it will have a perfect 3G signal. (To compare, I upgraded from the iPhone 4, which never had a problem getting a 3G signal anywhere)... I would expect the Note 3 would at least keep some kind of a signal in an area where everybody's 3G signal is nearly perfect.... At the local walmart, I can barely get a signal outside, and you can forget it inside... (Ironically, there's a verizon store at this shopping center as well... when I walk in the verizon store, my phone magically switches back to a decent 4G signal...)
Ideally, I'd take new Note 3 that doesn't have this problem, or I could upgrade to the Note 3 Developers Edition that also doesn't have this issue. I really love the Note 3 and would prefer to stay with the Note 3...
How can I work with you guys to make this happen?
Thanks!

Hey Lyndsey & Ada,
I appreciate yawl following up with me -- this is the first time I have actually been able to get signed into my community account in a while.
I did managed to get some help out of the Twitter support team and they sent me another phone. My second phone (the one I just received a couple of weeks ago now) definitely worked better for a few days and then went bad again. I am beginning to wonder if the PRL needs to be updated... Unfortunately, I do not remember what the original PRL was when I first turned the phone on. But I know that it is on 15296 now.
I am back to having to leave my phone sitting in one particular spot in my office where it has any kind of signal. I go back to my original question -- since I have had so many problem with this phone, can I upgrade to the Note 3 Developers Edition and just pay the difference?
Thanks!

What is the difference between ECC 5 and ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me in detail the difference between SAP R/3 versions ECC 5 and ECC 6 functionality wise in MM mdoule?
To be specific what are the new features in MM being added in ECC 6.0 when compared with ECC 5.
Request your help in this regard.
Rgds,
Uzair
Edited by: Mohd Uzair Hussain on Jul 23, 2008 5:35 PM

Hi,
Refer following link;
[SAP ERP Solution Browser|http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/]
Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
- Goods receipt
- Goods issue
- Transfer posting
- Remove from storage
u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
Requirement prioritizations in materials management
u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
Mass maintenance of outline agreements
The following two transactions available:
u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
Commitment plan for purchase contracts
u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
- To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
- Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
- Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
- Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
- 107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
- 109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
Prepayment of invoices
This functionality is characterized as follows:
u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
Parking service items
It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
u2022 This Report is available with u201CNon-Hierarchyu201D display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location

What is the difference of customer master data between CRM and ECC

Dear all,
We are helping customer to evaluate using CRM or ECC to manage there customer master data, focusing on the benefit of using CRM system.
Can any one help to compare the difference between these two system?
some tips in my mind are:
1. CRM has a friendly user interface for user to adjust the layout, hide/display favourite information according to actuall req.
2. In CRM, user can change the field/assignment block description easilly
3. in CRM7.0, user can add new customzing field easilly via AET
4. CRM has a good any analysis platform to provide pie chart analytic
5. CRM store more customer infor. than ECC, such as Marketing attribute, account classfication...anything else?
any other benefit to use CRM for customer master data? Pls help!!!
Thanks very much!!
BR,
Hedy

I would agree with most of the topics you mentioned. Just one remark to topic number 5. Business partner doesn't have more data than erp. It has some more marketing oriented data, but on other hand doesn't have all finincial and credit data that are relevant for erp financial transactions.
In our company we have the following scenario: all business partners are created in crm (because there the sales activities are started and because we don' clasify at the begining all partners as customers but as prospects. and of course it has nicer user interface). but when we are closing the deals (ordreds are transfered to erp), we fill some additional (financial) data of that partner on erp side and clasify partners as customers.

What is the difference between CE Portal and normal Portal

Can someone tell me the difference between CE Portal & Normal Portal. I mean, I keep hearing that SAP EP 7.2 is CE portal whereas SAP EP 7.3 is not CE portal.
Can I assume that CE (Composite environment) is a failure model so SAP switched back to Non-CE environment ? Your inputs please.

Hello,
SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 and 7.2 have been introduced as a lean "side-car" approach to complement the SAP NetWeaver standard release. Main reason was to provide composition tools and services based on a enhanced Java technology stack (back the time).
The official successor of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (or any of the enhancements packages) has been SAP NetWeaver 7.3 (where we brougth various tools together back into one SAP NetWeaver codeline.) Nowadays we recommend the latest release: SAP NetWeaver 7.4 including the Enterprise Portal 7.4.
Customers & Partners who did not want to install the full SAP NetWeaver Java stack had the chance to only go with the Composition Environment - that contained selected portal core services. These are mainly used for application integration / launching scenarios and not supportin full enterprise portal (intranet / extranet) scenarios - that's why there is no KM included.
Hope this helps to get a better understanding.
Regards,
Thomas

What's the difference between redundancy and recovery window for retention?

Hello all,
I'm still trying to get a grip on this concept for RMAN backup planning.
I recently ran into a situation as follows.
I have the backups set to a redundancy of 1.
I have instance1, which had GRID jobs to run RMAN backups as follows
Incremental database level=0 weekly at Wed at 2:30am
I have daily backups, incremental level=1 each evening
I have archive log backups through the day.
What happened, was that apparently on a Tues some time, the development team deleted data from almost every table in their schema.
The didn't discover this till midday or so on Wednesday.
I went to try to restore...and RMAN couldn't do it. I had found a SCN for early the Tues they did it...but I got the following error:
RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> SET UNTIL SCN 4590383198282;
4> RESTORE DATABASE;
5> RECOVER DATABASE;
6> }

ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
From what research I did...it appears that since I did not have a level=0 incremental from before, it could not reset the database back in time. The previous one had been deleted since, I guess I had a redundancy of 1.
So, I thought I had a week backup they way I have it set..but that assumes that errors are found pretty quickly before the next level=0 backup.
I want at least 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of backups. I do have the problem that we do not have many tapes in rotation, so I cannot go for too long...may 2x weeks tops.
I'm trying to rethink my strategy, but I'm confused as I read as to the difference between setting RMAN retention with redundancy vs recovery window.
Can someone give me an explanation how you understand it? I'm reading on the web and in oracle books, and for some reason, it just isn't clear to me what is the best way to go....especially when I see that redundancy and recovery window might both be set??
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Dear Cayenne
AFAIK RMAN doesn't claim that "you haven't enough backup". Please read the error you got carefully
ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
and check the following link:
ORA-01180: Cannot create datafile 1 when doing RMAN restore onto 2nd server
Moreover, could you please use LIST BACKUP command and see whether you have enough backups?
Read "Redundancy Based Backup Retention Policy" from the following link:

Java Web Start and DeployDirector: What's the difference?

I am the product manager for DeployDirector at Sitraka (now part of Quest Software). I'm NOT in sales; I'd simply like to provide you with some information.
From talking with DeployDirector users and evaluators, and from my own discussions with the folks at Sun, I have discovered that there is great deal of confusion about the difference between Java Web Start and DeployDirector. I'd like to clarify this by periodically posting some information about the two.
Though the products seem similar in concept, they are designed for different purposes. They both deploy, auto-update and manage the JRE for client-side Java applications, but beyond that, they are quite different.
Java Web Start is ideally designed for applications deployed over the Internet, where application-provider trust is an issue. Why? The security sandbox guarantees that application can do no harm. (There's some good information about Java Web Start and sandbox apps on ScheduleWorld at http://www.scheduleworld.com/itsYourLife.html) Web Start's architecture simply consists of a client piece that interprets a JNLP file. Because of the sandbox and its simplicity, I believe JWS is best used for independent software vendors, independent developers, etc.
Because DeployDirector is ideally designed for internal enterprise applications, it does not enforce the security sandbox. Trust is not an issue here, because internal users typically trust their internal IT group. DeployDirector's architecture consists of both a client and a server piece, which allows us to support more complex deployment and update scenarios (e.g., scheduled and optional updates) and applications management capabilities like rollback, reporting, exception monitoring, authentication/authorization out of the box. All of this is configured through the DeployDirector administration console.
In some situations, DeployDirector may be unnecessary overhead. In other situations, Java Web Start simply does not provide enough capability and building in this into Web Start can be difficult.
If you'd like more information, we have whitepapers and case studies (including one specifically about DeployDirector and JWS) available on our website at http://www.sitraka.com/software/deploydirector/
If you'd like to discuss some of these differences, or if you have questions about DeployDirector, feel free to email me directly. (Or post here, of course.)
Thanks,
Sonal Champsee

Hi Gerald,
Given what I know about your emnity towards DeployDirector (which is clearly illustrated in this thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=348061&forum=38&message=1446155 that was evidently a response to this article: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-11-2002/jw-1122-autoupdate.html) I'm going to take a (pardon the expression) "don't feed the trolls" approach here.
I'm simply re-iterate that JNLP, and its implementations such as Web Start and OpenJNLP, are designed for a very different set of users that DeployDirector. The differences in functionality between the two products reflect that.
The enterprise has different requirements in a deployment mechanism for its internal, critical applications than software vendors and independant developers. DeployDirector addresses the requirements of the enterprise. Frankly, most of our recent customers only chose to buy the product after initially rejecting it and (unsucessfully) attempting to use JNLP and Web Start. Sometimes people only learn the hard way: different users have different requirements which are suited to different tools or technologies.
