Use of GL Summary Accounts

We are upgrading from 10.7 char to 11i. At present we do not use summary accounts as in the past we were warned that they were 'resource hungry'.
Does anyone have experience of operating summary accounts? Is the effort of setting them worthwhile? Also has anyone introduced them, are there any issues I need to consider?
Many thanks
Phil

Yes, we have used them in 10.7. We are planning to upgrade to Rel 11 later this year and intend to continue using them. I think they are quite useful, specially if you want to have summarised enquiry, and also to effectively use Budgetary control. I don't know the implications on performance as we are using it only for one site although our users are dispersed all over the city. I think it will be worthwhile to setup initially, and if performance is affected you can always drop them.
Hope this makes sense.

  • Can someone explain the impact Summary Accounts has on Oracle performance?

    This may be more of a technical question than a functional question but thought I would test this out on you guys.
    Basically I would like to know what Oracle does in the background with summary accounts for it to slow down the period close process. I have been told it's because Oracle applies summary balances to (temporary?) tables, which means Oracle GL is multiplying the number of processes it has to run when you close a period.
    Can anyone provide any further info on this?
    Thanks

    How do you switch off the slide-lock?  So you could remove it from a holster and just use it?  Or indeed pick it up from a sofa to use.
    You can't, and the reason for this is to prevent the screen from being active and any apps being inadvertently/accidentally selected when the iPhone is in your pocket, in a woman's purse, or just by touching the screen whenever.
    I would not need the passcode and have found how to switch that off.
    You better give this more thought. The passcode lock prevents unauthorized access to anything on your iPhone in the event the iPhone is lost or stolen or from unauthorized access by someone you know. This also prevents someone from syncing your iPhone with iTunes on their computer - creating a backup for your iPhone and extracting data. If your iPhone is lost or stolen, someone must place the iPhone into recovery mode when connected to a computer and can only restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone - no data on your iPhone can be accessed or extracted in that situation with the passcode lock enabled. 
    Also, on the homescreen, meaning the first set of icons before sliding any across to view others, is it at all possible to put an email icon for each email account on that screen?
    No.
    Or do I have go each time, click Emails, Select account, select email .... ??
    The iPhone's Mail app includes a blended Inbox mailbox for all email accounts. You can select "All Inboxes" to view received email from all email accounts if you are accessing more than one, or you can select an Inbox for an indivudual account to view received messages by the selected account only.

  • How do I use the same iTunes account on 2 separate PCs?

    Ok. I am new to Itunes in general & know there is probably an easy fix/explanation to my question.
    Is there a way to use my same iTunes account for music downloading on 2 separate computers? I have iTunes downloaded on my home desktop computer but am wanting to use the same account on my computer for school? Is there a way to be able to share the songs on both computers without having to use like an external hard drive or cd or another method to transfer them between the 2. I want to be able to just download a song on one computer & then log in &  it be there on the other one? Thanks!

  • HT204053 I have multiple people in my family that use Itunes under my account. Is it possible for them to have different user names? The reason why I am asking is when I go to FaceTime my daughter's iPhone it also rings to my husbands iPhone.

    When I used facetime on my Macbookair for the first time I facetimed my daughter's iphone and it also rang to my husbands iphone. How do I keep that from happening? We all use the same itunes account so does it have something to do with that? do we each our own apple ID? and is it possible to do that?

    Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
    If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
    Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

  • How to share safari iCloud tabs using a secondary iCloud account?

    I have 4 iOS devices in the family: an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, ipad 2 and an ipad 3, all with the latest iOS software.
    Each  pair has its own separate primary icloud account. So, one phone shares a primary icloud account with one ipad, the other iPhone  shares with the second ipad. That allows us to keep most things separated as necessary. However,. the are just 2 things I wanted to across across ALL 4 devices: Shared Safari Tabs, and Find iPhone. I wanted to be able to see what safari tabs are currently open on ALL these devices, FROM any device of these devices.  I also wanted to be able to see the location of ALL 4 devices from any of these devices.  To do this, I set us a second shared iCloud account on all 4 devices.
    The new shared safari tabs feature works great with your main iCloud account on all devices you want to share this with....HOWEVER, it WILL NOT WORK AT ALL if you are trying to share tabs with a secondary iCloud account.
    I set up a secondary shared family iCloud account on all 4 of our iOS devices by going to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account... and selected iCloud as the account type, and created a new family account. After creating it, I was offered options to share various things with that account. I turned OFF every share option except Safari and Find iphone.
    Turning ON the Safari sharing option generated a box telling me that Safari sharing will be turned OFF for main iCloud account, (which is fine), and asking if I want to save my current Safari data and roll it into the new iCloud account or delete it (I've tried it both ways). I then repeated this process on all 4 of our family iOS devices. The result is that Safari iCloud sharing actually stops working all together. The new "cloud" symbol that was at the top of the browser window on my iPads , next to the bookmarks button, has now disappeared. On my iPhones, the menu option for sharing safari tabs has disappeared. So, enabling Safari sharing in a secondary iCloud account DOES disable sharing in the primary account, but DOES NOT REALLY enable it in the secondary account, even though it SAYS it is enabled.
    Apple's phone support is worthless on this issue. multiple calls to senior advisors, 3 times being told my issue was being referred to "engineering"....never a single followup call or email back EVER, after weeks. i am really tired of so-called senior advisors even telling me "Oh, you can't have more that one icloud account in a device", which is NOT true, see above for how I have added one.
    What is really odd is that the one other thing i wanted to share across all 4 devices does work: the Find Iphone app. Again,, turning this on in the secondary iCloud account settings causes a warning that Find iPhone will be turned off for the primary iCloud account on that device, which is fine for me. I did it on all 4 devices, and now from any of them I can log into Find iPhone and see the location of all 4 devices, even though they use different primary iCloud accounts. Sharing this feature still works with the secondary account.
    So why won't the Safari data share properly with the secondary account? if this feature isn't supported with a secondary account, why is it there as on option in the first place? What purpose does Safari sharing serve with a secondary account? NONE that I can find, aside from DISABLING sharing completely for the primary iCloud account.
    If anyone has an idea of how to make this work, or what purpose the Safari sharing serves in a secondary icloud account, I'd love to know. Better yet,  explain it to Apple because they are clueless.........

    Sigh...it's gotten even worse with iOS7.
    While iOS7 may be a big leap forwards in most respects, the "Find my iPhone" feature has taken a big step in reverse. This useful feature is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for use with secondary iCloud accounts, ONLY your PRIMARY account.
    This may not be a huge concern for most users, because many (including most first-tier tech reps at Apple I've spoken to) seem to believe that you can only have one iCloud account on a device. NOT TRUE. While you can only have one PRIMARY account, you can add multiple additional iCloud EMAIL accounts (go to Settings/Mail, Contacts & Calendars/Add Account/iCloud). In the last iOS, once you created a new, secondary iCloud email address, you could activate many iCloud features for use with the new account, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Safari Data (which never actually worked), and Find My iPhone. Under iOS7, however, Find My iPhone is no longer available. Instead, a small paragraph below the new iCloud email account setup screen says "Only your main account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Backup, and Find My iPhone."
    Consider two cases where this is a huge problem.
    1) We have a large number of company iOS devices that we need to keep track of.
    2) Personally, I have an iPhone and iPad, and so does my wife. So do our kids!
    In both the above cases, we created a secondary iCloud account, we'll call it "[email protected]", and added it as a secondary iCloud email address on ALL our iOS devices. In the setup screen we disabled everything EXCEPT "Find My iPhone". This account has a unique password, making it possible to see the location of ANY OR ALL the devices using the Find My iPhone App, WITHOUT having to share email, contacts, calendars, etc. among all these devices.
    In our company, I can tract the location of any iOS device I gave to an employee, but his personal PRIMARY iCloud account is used to keep his mail, contacts, calendars, etc. secure. He shares this data between his iPhone and iPad, but NOT with everyone else. In my family, we all have our own primary iCloud accounts. I share mine between my iPhone and iPad; my wife and kids do the same. This allows us to keep our calendars, contacts, emails, etc. separated. But we all used the secondary iCloud email account ONLY with Find My iPhone. This allowed everyone in the family to see the location of everyone else, very nice in an emergency. Unlike the Find My Friends app, the device being located doesn't have to respond to a request to be found (very important when finding a lost or stolen device).
    In both the above cases, we just log into the Find My iPhone APP on ANY iOS device, using the secondary iCloud account's email address and password (the email address is actually saved in the app, so you really only need to enter the password after the initial login). Viola! You can now see the location of any device that has that secondary iCloud account installed. And a person can still be untrackable if they wish, simply by turning off the Find My iPhone feature under the shared account's iCloud account settings on their device.
    Alas, with iOS7 this is no longer possible. With the Find My iPhone feature only available for use with the device's PRIMARY iCloud account, there are only two ways to track another device:
    1) Use the same primary iCloud account (which forces you to share other data and features you may not want to);
    2) Log into the Find My iPhone APP with the PRIMARY iCloud email address and password of the person you want to track.
    Either way, the person doing the tracking MUST have access to the PRIMARY iCloud credentials of the device they are tracking. This is a large security hole! Ask yourself: if you are a parent, do you really want your kids to have access to your primary iCloud account, including your mail, contacts, calendars, etc? Some people may not want their spouse to access that. In a company setting, do you want all your employees to be FORCED to share Documents & Data, Backup and Bookmarks, just to use the Find My iPhone feature? If they want to keep their mail, contacts, calendars, etc. separated from other employees, they will be forced to move these to a secondary iCloud account, which will no longer allow them to share Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data or Backup. Why this ridiculous limitation?
    The bottom line:Find My iPhone is now only useful for the primary iCloud account holder, and can no longer be used effectively between larger numbers of iOS devices, such as families or corporate institutions. This should be addressed in the next update to the iOS.

  • Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

    We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
    Thanks,

    I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

  • How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

    Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
    Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
    I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
    1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
    2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

    Hi,
    You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
    Following idea could be your task flow
    Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
    |
    v
    Router
    1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
    2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
    hope it helps,

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)

    How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?

    By just using the same iTunes account.  If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account.  Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account.  Do not create a new one.

  • TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

    You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
