Toad vs Raptor and stability of product

I am glad that RAPTOR is here to give TOAD some competition.
TOAD used to be very stable and extremely easy to install. The over the years it became more powerfull and therefore much harder to install and of course it is also less stable.
I would like RAPTOR to be a lean machine. I would prefer several versions that are each stable to one powerful one which is not.
This is why i would suggest several RAPTORs.
1) RAPTOR for programmers
This should just have schema browsing, SQL script creation and editing and procedure (including package and function of course) editing
2) RAPTOR for debugging
I would prefer to keep it separate. The last thing I need is to loose an hour of work because RAPTOR crashed due to some complex debugging issue
3) RAPTOR for monitoring
Here I would like to see such functions as:
a - job execution monitoring (such as Toad's session browser or old kill/trace)
b - refresh group monitoring. I would like to be able to see all the MVs in a refresh group and info such as order in the refresh group, last refresh date, etc. This way if a refresh group is running I can see what MV it is on by checking the last refreshed date
c - table space monitoring. I would like to see all objects in a table space, their size, etc.
I would prefer three separate apps that I can have running at the same time and which are all very stable to one monolithic app that does everything but crashes regularly.

I could not agree more. Qwest has some work to do. I have repeatedly looked for a TOAD lite. I would rather use Raptor its current configuration than paying $800 per copy.
As far as stability is concerened, losing work is the worst, and before all features, I would rank it the highest. Never abruptly stop or hang, and if that is unavoidable, always make sure unsaved work is saved. Even if it involves saving to a known temp file, and notifing the user.

  • Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

    I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster.  But my NEW PE9 just run very slow.  Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete.  Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process.  When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance.  It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip.  Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation.  PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0.  I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
    Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

  • After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

    My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
    "Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

    Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

  • Different GL accunts during GR for PO and GR for production order

    Hi
    For posting GR for PO and GR for Production order we use movement 101 only then how we can define or e different GL accounts for both the transactions ?

    Hi,
    As per my undestanding
    If you want to hit different GL for same material type for e.g. GR for PO and GR for Production order.
    you can define split valuation, Suppose material A has two Split valuation External Procurement or Inhouse Production.
    Now For valuation type External Procurement assign valuation class 1000 and for Inhouse Production 2000.
    Now in GBB for valuation modifier BSX assign two separate GL
    Like
    GBB     BSX     1000           120000(External Procurement)
    GBB     BSX      2000           130000(Inhouse Production)
    Solution 2 :-
    Define other movement type for Production create and create a new event key and assign GL to that one.
    Hope HElp U !

  • IDoc creation on save and change of production order

    I am looking for a way to create, and send if possible (if not I'll send with a batch job), on the save (creation and change) of production orders.  This will be a modified LOIPRO iDoc.  Currently we have a customer exit on the save of the production order but because it is before the save we must predict the number of the prod order.  This has worked but now we are creating one production order per line item in a sales order (automatically) so this is causing us to predict the same production order number twice.  We need a way to automatically create and send an iDoc for all production orders for given plants.  Right now the solution we are looking at is creating an output type and running through those output types a few times a day, sending them down to the Shop Floor system (proprietary system). 
    Is there anything setup in SAP that we can utilize?

    Follow the below sample steps for changing component quantity:
    DATA:
        l_methods TYPE bapi_alm_order_method,
        it_boperations TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF  bapi_alm_order_operation_e WITH HEADER LINE,
        it_components TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapi_alm_order_component_e WITH HEADER LINE,
        it_components1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapi_alm_order_component WITH HEADER LINE.
    1. Call BAPI :BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL , it will give existing order component details.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL'
        EXPORTING
          number        = <production order number>
        TABLES
          et_operations = it_boperations
          et_components = it_components
          return        = it_bapiret2.
    2. Move it_components to components table compatibel to BAPI "BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN".
    LOOP AT it_components.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING it_components TO it_components1.
    _*"Note here while moving change the component quantity"*_
    APPEND it_components1.
    CLEAR it_components1.
    ENDLOOP.
    3. Build the methods table for change production order :
    it_methods-refnumber = v_refnumber.
                it_methods-objecttype = 'COMPONENT'.
                it_methods-method = 'CHANGE'.
                it_methods-objectkey = v_objectkey.
                APPEND it_methods.
    "Note v_refnumber has 1 to 1 relation ship with the components table, if you want to change First component in it_components1 then you have to enter value '1' here for v_refnumber.
    it_methods-method = 'SAVE'.
            APPEND it_methods.
    4 . Call
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'
              TABLES
                it_methods   = it_methods
                it_component = it_components1
                return       = it_bapiret2.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

  • Issues with flash and other adobe products.

    Ok, so i've been using flash player for quite a number of years now aswell as other products like acrobat reader when i used windows, over the years flash player has developed into a totally inneffecient and almost unusable product. on top of the security issues of past with flash player and especially acrobat reader, with remote code execution vulnerabilities, i have, as have thousands of others noticed a very large decrease in performance with flash.
    i should note that a year or two ago, i could play HD flash content no problem, both 720 and 1080 resolutions, full screen without any issue. i would expect it to take up a decent portion of cpu cycles, which it did, i use to be able to run flash content at 720 with about 30 - 50% cpu usage. now it seems with flash 10 my AMD Athlon 4000+ struggles to play even 720 videos. My cpu is by no means a top performer, it is however capable of handling somewhere in the region of a billion instructions per second. for video content to require that amount of data to be handled is rediculous.
    HD content played back on my local machine using a different codec, my cpu barely even uses 5 - 10% cpu time, not only that, these videos have roughly about the same compression rates as flash videos. i just don't understand how flash can require so much resources without taking into account innefficient and bloated code.
    today i tried to access a web page that required flash content to display images, it was not a video, but an image database, going from one page to the next took somewhere in the region of 20 - 30 seconds, while my cpu maxed out at 100% and firefox stopped responding, which is totally unnacceptable.
    it wouldn't normally be a problem if there were good alternatives, but there aren't any, im stuck with this piece of crap software if i want to view any flash content. the only real alternative is to upgrade, which i am not prepared to do if the next version of flash is just going to push those boundries even further for features i don't need.
    my proposal is to:
    1. rewrite the code with effeciency rather than new features in mind, if that means getting able programmers in, then so be it.
    2. make flash modulous, where the basic package provides capabilties to play flash content and separate plugins to provide for all the individual unnecessary features that are not required for basic flash content. surely you can build a package that provides all those plugins for regular users and a basic package + optional plugins for those who know what they want or need.
    it really makes no sense why such a large corporation with all this experience to provide a product that quite simply.. sucks, well it does actually, either your programmers are incapable of creating a stable, efficient product or you are purposly trying to push hardware upgrades onto people. lets not forget that flash content is huge business on the web, adobe flash player has a strangle hold on that market, it would be naive to think that hardware vendors have not approached adobe with specifications to further make the money wheel go round.
    sort it out, because i for one, am in the process of completely removing my dependancy on adobe flash, if the right product comes along, others will do to, in droves. it's a bubble that is going to burst and there is no way back when you have millions of lines of quite frankly, amateurish code.

    Eric,
    The GTX 650 would be priced slightly higher than the GT 640 - and then, the OP would have to "settle" for only 1GB of graphics RAM instead of 2GB. The GTX 650 is currently not available with 2GB of RAM.
    Both the GT 640 and the GTX 650 are based on the same GPU - the GK107, with 384 CUDA cores. The two major differences are that the GK107 on the GTX 650 is clocked higher than the one on the GT 640, and that the GTX 650 has almost triple the memory bandwidth of the GT 640 (80 GB/s versus 28.8 GB/s).

    To clarify further....  It is important to note that Forms/Repors 11.1.2.x software (including WLS and JDK) must be of the same archetecture as the machine.  In other words, you cannot use the 32bit Forms/Reports 11.1.2 software on 64bit Windows.  If you are using a 64bit OS, you must install the 64bit software.  Again, this would include Forms/Reports, WLS, and JDK

  • System status for IDOC creation and processing for production orders

    All
    I am creating IDOCs for production orders to send requirements to an external WM system for kitting execution.
    I need to know whether there are any system statuses to notify me when an IDOC has been created,failed and processed. If not, how do I go about creating user defined statuses for these statuses.
    Second question, which idocs should I use to confirm, teco and cancel the production orders from an external system?
    Thanks
    Evan

    HI Evan
    u can use the standard program - RBDMOIND scheduled in back ground to update the Idoc staus ,
    this helps to update the IDoc Status from
    '03     Data passed to port OK  '  to
    '12     Dispatch OK'
    status 03 indicates the IDoc is successfully transmitted to Communication Layer and the Status 12 helps to confirm the data dispatch to the receiving port.
