Understanding docs

From oracle docs 9i,
When backing up datafiles, the target database must be mounted or open. If the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode, then the target can be open or closed: you do not need to close the database cleanly. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, then you must close it cleanly before making a backup.
my database is in archive log mode,following what is written in italics,I shutdown my database and tried to backup database with RMAN.but RMAN showed:
RMAN-06403:could not obtain a fully authorised session
ora-01034:oracle not avalable
Oracle terminology really confuses me:(

Either you cite the documentation incorrectly, but what you quoted here is definitely wrong.
Database in archivelog: you don't need to do anything, you don't need to shutdown. You can backup your database using RMAN provided you also backup the archivelogs.
Database in noarchivelog:
If your database is open you need to shutdown your database using shutdown normal or shutdown immediate. Rman can do this for you.
Subsequently you need to issue STARTUP MOUNT (please note the MOUNT)
Now you can backup your database.
You don't need to backup archivelogs, provided you retain the backup.
After backing up you issue
alter database open.
This procedure is known as cold or offline backup.
It can be performed on noarchivelog and archivelog databases.
Hot backup on archivelog databases only.

IDOC with Acknowlegment

Hi Guys,
I was going through IDOC acknowlegments but after reading am into scattered understanding.
I understabnd as below
1) IDOC to IDOC --> Acknowlegment happends by default
2) Above happend for only WAS 6.4 and for others seetings has to be done.
3) File to IDOC --> Acknowlegment has to configured back to Sender system
I donot understand -- Doc says a return ALEAUIDT idoc is created in Receiver System and sent to IS and from here it is sent back to Sender , do we need to write mapping to send back ????
is it normal with IDOC not used with XI also (i mean sending back ALEAUIDT)
kindly any one elobrate and send me some links
thx in advance
srini

hi,
for File to IDoc scenario...u can send the ALEAUD to the sender system without using BPM.
here are the steps
in r/3 run report RBDSTATE ,there specify the *message type * and date idoc changed (i.e the date for which u want to create aleaud)
create a idoc com channel the name shoud start with Ack
now u can see the ack for idoc in XI.
but for sending the ack to a file u have to execute the report
IDX_ALEREQUEST in XI system
Enter Sender Port, Sender Client,
Partner Number, Partner Type, and
Partner Role
u have to define the target File cc
In Integration Directory, configure
interface maaping betwwen ALEAUD and the target file.
for referrence see page number 26 onwards..

Saving a file with data?

HI, I am wanting to save a file with data, can some one point me in the right direction to a tut or some thing. Thanks.
OR
if they could be so kind as to code a simple thing that saves a file (txt) with a word. This would make my day,
Thansk and all the best Jonathan :o).

I have sorted what I was wanting to do. there was some code missing from the coding as well as the import function.
No you don't have to be 'god' but if some one just handed you a russian/english dictionary you would still have a difficult time making a sentance or even a DVD with every thing there is to know speaking gaelic.
You have to learn more than just the syntax. sorry I'm not the best person in the world for understanding docs etc, but we all have our good points, ask me any thing else on computers and networks I'll give a plain english answer, wood chips and all.
This is all meant in a good tone, there is the problem with txt that it tend to have a dull sound, so cheer up and smile. I know I am.

How to run LCM Utility????

Hi,
I want to LCM utility to migrate WebAnalysis 9.3.1 reports from Test to Prod env. i searched for doc in oracle site but they are bit confusion(as im new to this Hyperion) can any one help me in porviding an easy to understand doc.......
Vijay....

Hi,
Personally I never had much success with LCM in 9.3.1, I am not saying you can't use it but it can take more time than its worth, it was not until V11 that it became a utility worth looking at.
If it is not many reports it might be easy just to export them from studio and then import them into your target environment.
I take it is this doc you are reading http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hss_alcm_util.pdf ?

Understanding compile errors due to copying code from a doc file and not a txt file

SITUATION:
My instructor for my micro-controller class refuses to save sample code to a text file and instead saves it to a word document file instead. When I open up the doc file and copy/paste the code into my IDE "CodeWarrior" it causes errors upon compile time.
I am having to rewrite all the code into a text editor and then copy/paste it into my IDE.
MY UNDERSTANDING:
I was told to always save code as a text file because when you save code as a word document file it will bring in unwanted characters when your copy/pasting the code into your IDE for compiling.
Their are students in my class using the schools computers running "Windows" that copied and pasted the code into CodeWarrior and it compiled fine. This is not only frustrating but confusing. However, I know their are students in class with "PC's" running windows that had the same trouble I did so I know it's not a Mac issue.
Also I am running "Parallels" because my IDE for this micro-controller "Code Warrior" is not avaiable for my OS. I realize there are several IDE's out there that require "Windows OS" in general but I know this situation is not a Mac issue or Parallels issue or even a Windows issue. It's purly an issue of formatting that is done between the file being copied and the target program or so I'm understanding.
Can someone exlain to me in better words or perhaps provide a resource, documentation or article that will enlighten me on this issue. I would like to better state my case next time. I'm tired of being told this is a MAC issue and that Windows is just plain better.

The problem is (as you suggest) almost certainly a gremlin issue - characters that for one reason or another Code Warrior cannot interpret correctly. Why it happens to you and not others is a different matter. That could mean that the pofessor uses fonts that are not on your machine, or that he is using a different version of word, or it could be in how you access the data. For instance, if the prof posts this word doc on the web you may get different results if you download the file and open it in Word as opposed to opening it directly from a web browser.
The sure-fire solution is to download TextWrangler and copy the code in there first. TW has a number of tools for finding and removing unpleasant characters. it adds a step, but... you could also try resaving the doc file as a plain text file from within word.

How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

You have to select one or the other.
Try making two documents and see if you can merge the .pdfs, but their will be problems with page flow, making the pages shift. Can't see it working really.
Pages is not the only solution out there or the best for most jobs (let alone the safest). Try Word for Mac, LibreOffice (free) or any App that has the features you need.

PyQt: C++ basic literacy to understand Qt docs

Hello,
I am trying to learn PyQt. I can manage fine with my python and basic Qt, but what's bugging me is that there doesn't seem to be so much written about pyqt. I've gone throuth all the tutorials pointed to in pyqt's site, and other places such as learningpython.com. I've read the one up to date book on pyqt4 that I know of: Rapid Gui Programming with Python and Qt by Mark Summerfield.
My problem is that PyQt's reference seems to be only a basic class reference, while the Qt docs are way more complete, and contain interesting explanations which I have not found in PyQt's docs, and there's also the qt demos and examples. I am spending a lot of time in the Qt docs lately, trying to figure out which Qt class to use, and to understand its basics. But I don't know any c++, so I'm guessing through the workings of the c++ snippets I see. Sometimes this is good enough to point me to the class which I'm looking for, but I can hardly understand anything in any detail when I cannot understand the code.
So I've been thinking I should try to learn some C++ to be able to understand the docs fully if I want to learn the toolkit in any depth. I love python, I find it amazingly productive and I have a kind of crush on it's syntax. So learning c++ would be only a kind of side project, if it may... The questions I'd like to ask you are:
* Is it possible to gain such thing as a basic knowledge of c++, good enough to understand this kind of docs, without having to go the whole way into c++?
* Do you think it might be worthwile to spend such a time learning a language which from the outside seems a very different beast from the one I use, and which I'm almost certainly bound not to use? (Well, who knows what the future might hold...)
* Could you give me any tips about where to start? Do you know about anything online broadly analogous to www.diveintopython.org, for example?
Thanks in advance for your time!

I've programmed a bit in pascal back around 1991-93, and a little bit of C a few years later. I think I am quite comfortable with OOP, at least as it's implemented in python - don't know if that involves any great simplifications... From c I remember there were lines with 'side effects' and 3 or 4 things happening at the same time, the concept of pointers, call by reference and by value, though I'm not at all familiar with what this is useful for.
It is quite easy to follow Qt's examples as far as they are calling methods and setting properties, and that has been very useful to me so far. But I wonder if by studying a little bit I could understand code such as the first two lines of this, for example, wehre I've got no idea of what's going on:
void AddressWidget::addEntry(QString name, QString address)
QList< QPair<QString, QString> >list = table->getList();
QPair<QString, QString> pair(name, address);
if (!list.contains(pair)) {
table->insertRows(0, 1, QModelIndex());
QModelIndex index = table->index(0, 0, QModelIndex());
table->setData(index, name, Qt::EditRole);
index = table->index(0, 1, QModelIndex());
table->setData(index, address, Qt::EditRole);
removeTab(indexOf(newAddressTab));
} else {
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Duplicate Name"),
tr("The name \"%1\" already exists.").arg(name));
I don't think it would hurt to read an overview of C++ then. I started with python then began using c++ because its my school's language of choice. In learning the under workings of c++ I have in the process learned things I can apply with python.
As for those first two lines...
In c++ the syntax
name<datatype>
indicates the use of a template which can be a class or function. A template enables you to write a function or class that can work any data type. In the case above you have a Qt list containing Qt pairs which contain 2 QStrings. You could for instance make a QList of a class that you made like this:
QList<myClass> listOfMyClasses;
In python passing the data type to a class or function isn't needed since it is dynamic typed.
Templates are one tool to eliminate having to write multiple copies of a class or function to work with different datatypes. If I want to write a function that will sum two numbers, instead of writing one function for integers, one for doubles, one for floats...etc I can make a template which can handle all of those data types. (this isn't a very practical use of templates but it is simple one for the sake of discussion) I would call this template function like this:
sum<double>(2.1, 3.2)
//or
sum<int>(2, 3)

Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

We don't want to email it..... we want to upload it.
Then why did you say (emphasis added):
Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer. Nobody ever has claimed otherwise. However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain. Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
Then sell your iPad and go buy one. You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

Adobe also has Acrobat.com and there is DropBox.com. Adobe has also announced Adobe Document Cloud.
Forms central provide a subscription service for users with Reader to create simple forms. Apparently this did not meet a majority of users and with the minimal price difference for Acrobat and free web storage the users were better served without it. I expect cloud services will continue to emerge until providers better and more fully understand the user requirements.

Please send useful information docs or link or examples to understand

Error while creating Billing doc using VF01 for Debit memo req. from RRB

Hi,
I am creating billing doc for my Debit memo req. which is created using RRB(DP90, DP95).
Error message - Item 000010 does not exist.
When I debugged and looked into code it seems following lines are causing problem.
Program
LV60AA28
Line u2013 734
IF vbap-vkgru EQ vkgru_dyn_posten.
    IF vbap-aufnr IS INITIAL .
set AUBEL because it was overwritten by VBAP-VBELN
      vbrp-aubel = vbap-vgbel.
      vbrp-aupos = vbap-vgpos.
      vbrp-autyp = vbap-vgtyp.
This code was not in 4.6 system.
We have just migrating from 4.6 to 6.0 and facing this issue while testing.

First of all you should try to learn how to express in a public forum like this.
On your comments
Do some ground work from your end
why should I ?? if you want you can do ground work or any work. If you post a question, you have to hear patiently all suggestions and dont scribble whatever you want.
You should have some basic
   understanding of SAP ABAP.
You should have posted this question ABAP forum !!!!   Why without any sense you have posted in sales forum ??

Getting a New MBP and Want to Understand CDs/DVDs

Hello-
this might be the wrong area bt I am sure I will hear if it is. If it is, I apologize in advance.
I have never understood all the various kinds of CDs/DVds. One very specific question I have is trying to purchase the correct CD/DVD for making a copy of the Deluxe TechTool, songs, back-up docs (which I have never done but am planing on getting a really durable external drive to mostly send the back-ups to. On to the CDs at Costco and Best Buy I have not fond a sales person who can explain to be what all the various initials mean and which ones are the best to have for saving things and using the same CD for saving additional date of it is not full and if I want to be able to go back and erase some of the date and RW/R-write over it.
the last CDs I purchased, I put a few songs on one and I could not put anything else. Maybe there is an article that focuses on this topic and explains all the various initials but I really need to learn this. Any help would be much appreciated. Also is there a difference in the sound of recorded music when burning music using a CD that I can keep using until it is full and if I want to make it so that I can't (or any of my brothers can't copy over what I have burned on to the CD?) Not sure if that makes sense. Is there a better quality CD that one would use for music only and when the CD is full I would be ale to do something so that this specific CD can't be used again when it is full, and I make it unusable if anybody tries to add or take away from it.
In advance, thank you.

Fortuny-
I sent Verbatim an -mail. it was fairly long but they were so-so with it. They helped me some understanding their media storage types. Basically, they do not get into using the initials other companies use to tell if the CD or DVD will take on burn or transfer or multiple, if you can erase and use the CD over again, etc. It sounds like (at least for their CDs) their basic CD will take more than one burn of a song or transfer of some data and still just all them "CD-R."
I have never backed up before and I would like to start doing that. When I started using computers and learned how to back-up, we were using CDs to back-up to. (Took a computer class my first year n college and it was MS-DOS. lol) I guess those days are over. Even the DVD and Zip disc are not used much for back-up anymore.
So, I am thinking of getting a heavy-duty external drive that has some rubber added on the edges and can use USB 2.0 or FW 400 or 800. this is primarily for school (grad degree in architecture and planning)
Do you get your Verbatim media from the website or at another store locally?
You satisfied with the quality? (Obviously, but still would like to hear your opinion about that.) Have you used their Music CD (I forgot the exact name)
Thanks again!

Billing doc doubts

Hi Experts,
I just need to clarify my understanding for the following about what system does when billing doc is created:
1. DR posting on customer's Receivables Account : this account means the receivable account of the company that records which customer owes how much money to the company. Why the account is referred to as "Customer's " ? is it not belonging to the company with the SAP system?
2. CR posting on the Revenue account : this account means the company's account that records gross earnings.
This pair of postings have to happen together and not either one can be posted only right?
regards
John
Edited by: johntivoli on Dec 19, 2010 8:15 AM

Hi John
Yes your understanding is correct. Both should be posted at one go while creating invoice. Regarding your queries about customer account posting I will try to explain.
While creating invoice and transferring to accounting in the accounting document the debit line item is against the customer. This is based on the principle "Debit the receiver". In this case the goods are received by the customer and hence his account is debited. But as you rightly mentioned this should be referred to as the company's receivable account and this happens by assigning the customer account to a reconcilation account in the customer master- company code view. You can check the account against which it is posted by going to FD03 and putting the customer and company code. The recon account would be dispalyed. So the customer is further linked to this recon account and when a GL entry is passed while posting an invoice this recon account gets impacted.
Hope this explains your query.
Thanks
Indranil
