What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model of X5-2?

What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model that started with X5 version?

1. Elastic Configurations
Size/price hardware by the number of servers; Fixed configs no longer required
Start with 2 Database Servers and 3 Storage Servers. Incrementally add database or storage servers online.
2. Capacity-on-Demand (CoD)
Upon installation, activate 40-100% of the cores per server and reduce software licenses; Applies to Eighth Rack now too
Activate and license more cores when needed; Active cores may not be deactivated
3. OVM and Trusted Partitions
License software on Virtual CPUs within a VM; Ideal for special-purpose DB options
You can mix different combination of options for different DB on one Exadata.
OVM has no License cost; support is included with premier hardware support
Limitation:
At least 40% of usable cores on the machine must be licensed for Oracle software
Cannot use both OVM and CoD to license less than 40% of cores
A server must be virtualized or non-virtualized – not mixed
A RAC cluster can mix virtualized and non-virtualized servers
4. “Flash Drive” License Metric for EF Storage Server Software
$20K/drive; 8 flash drives/EF server vs 12 disk drives/HC server = 33% higher list
Can transfer licenses between Flash Drive (2 licenses/drive) and Disk Drive (1 license/drive) – part # is the same

    Hi Sridhar,

    For Functionality Differences pls refer to the below site -
    http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
    After opening the site, please select the Source Release Version which is 4.6 b Then Select the Target Release Version which is "mySAP ERP 2005" or ECC 6.0
    Select the Solution Area like Financials, Human Capital Management, Sales....
    Select module like MM, PP, SD, and QM.....
    Click on Search
    then it displays the Release Version and the Delta Functionality. Which can be downloaded to a word document if required.
    And also check the release notes of ECC 6.0 in service.sap.com.
    When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6
    Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).
    To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).
    Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.
    For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
    For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
    ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
    For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.
    4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
    Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
    secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get form master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.
    Please go through the link that is shown here and if there is any doubts then feel free to ask.

  • What are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?

    what are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?
    when we will go for a recursive cte.

    A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an
    object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query.
    A CTE can be used to:
    Create a recursive query. For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186243%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
    Substitute for a view when the general use of a view is not required; that is, you do not have to store the definition in metadata.
    Enable grouping by a column that is derived from a scalar subselect, or a function that is either not deterministic or has external access.
    Reference the resulting table multiple times in the same statement.

  • What are the key steps & order to follow: changes in my flat file structure

    HI,
    I have a Cube which sits on ODS.
    In the ODS,  the are 6 characterisics: Char1, Char2,...., char6; and 3 key figures: kf1, kf2, and kf3.
    The ODS is loaded through a flat file.
    Through an update rule and startup routine, the ODS updates the cube.
    Now, I have a new requirement to add 2 new characteristics (Cha10, char20) and one 2 key figures (KF55, KF66)).i.e. the flat file will now be coming in with these new fields.
    I have an idea but this this is the first time I really have to implement, I need to be sure.
    What are the key steps that I need to go through and in what order?
    Thanks

    What version are you running ?
    Will you need to load history data as for these new fields or is it just going forward ?
    Is it all one to one mapping for the new fields ?
    1. Make sure you know to what dimensions you need to add the new chars ? New dimension for these two ?
    2. New chars to be made keyfields ?
    3. Update Type for keyfigures Overwrite or Additive ?
    Enhance the Cube, DSO, change  TRFN/TR/UR..

  • My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    Hello Douglas,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro.  I recommend the following steps for this issue:
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    You can find the full article here:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • What are the pro's and con's of the 4s?

    I am not yet an owner of the 4s iphone. So what are the pro's and con's of owning the white 32gb iphone 4s? I have had the white 32 gb iphone 3gs for two years and until I get a job I will not be buying the 4s I so need.

    Samplers do alot of things, what do you need a sampler for?
    Korgs remind me of alot of presets and alot of verb and chorus. I guess if you're posting here you already have EXS and want more sounds or more functionality and if the korg thing is true you lean more to sampling/synthesis than instrument recreation (as in you probably aren't going for VSL if the korg caught your ear). Independence looks really cool, it's quite new. Kontakt is demanding and very flexible, both include huge libraries and I know kontakt has tons of great filters, FX, modulation. It also needs a pretty strong update-which is being dealt with after a year or so.

  • What are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA

    Hi all
    what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA.
    please explain clealry.
    Thanks & Regards,
    James

    James,
    Please go through Roberto's weblog :
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
    Anyways,
    As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
    They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
    coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
    Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".
