What is a data group and what use is it for?

CAn some one explain me the concept of data group in EBS. What is it used for ? How does it enhance the security of Oracle Apps data ?
I know that Data groups are used while defining a responsibility and are meant for data security purpose. But I want to know the conceptual details behind it.
Thanks.

Ok.. so with a data group we can have data security at Oracle schema level. I hope my understanding is correct.
I can create a data base user called Sinha and create a data group with this user/schema.
Now when I create a data group with this schema and assign it to a responsibility, which in turn is assigned to a user, he/she will have access only to those objects which are present in the schema called Sinha, right ?
Now as all the objects in Oracle Apps are created under the Apps schema, what use this new data group (and schema) is of ?

  • What is open data set and close data set

    what is open data set and close data set,
    how to use the files in sap directories ?

    hi,
    Open Dataset is used to read or write on to application server ... other than that i am not sure that there exists any way to do the same ... here is a short description for that
    FILE HANDLING IN SAP
    Introduction
    • Files on application server are sequential files.
    • Files on presentation server / workstation are local files.
    • A sequential file is also called a dataset.
    Handling of Sequential file
    Three steps are involved in sequential file handling
    • OPEN
    • PROCESS
    • CLOSE
    Here processing of file can be READING a file or WRITING on to a file.
    OPEN FILE
    Before data can be processed, a file needs to be opened.
    After processing file is closed.
    Syntax:
    OPEN DATASET <file name> FOR {OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
    IN {TEXT/BINARY} MODE
    This statement returns SY_SUBRC as 0 for successful opening of file or 8, if unsuccessful.
    OUTPUT: Opens the file for writing. If the dataset already exists, this will place the cursor at the start of the dataset, the old contents get deleted at the end of the program or when the CLOSE DATASET is encountered.
    INPUT: Opens a file for READ and places the cursor at the beginning of the file.
    FOR APPENDING: Opens the file for writing and places the cursor at the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is generated.
    BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time ‘n’’ characters are READ or transferred. The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.
    IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time. If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated. If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.
    Defaults: If nothing is mentioned, then defaults are FOR INPUT and in BINARY MODE.
    PROCESS FILE:
    Processing a file involves READing the file or Writing on to file TRANSFER.
    TRANSFER Statement
    Syntax:
    TRANSFER <field> TO <file name>.
    <Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
    Each transfer statement writes a statement to the dataset. In binary mode, it writes the length of the field to the dataset. In text mode, it writes one line to the dataset.
    If the file is not already open, TRANSFER tries to OPEN file FOR OUTPUT (IN BINARY MODE) or using the last OPEN DATASET statement for this file.
    IF FILE HANDLING, TRANSFER IS THE ONLY STATEMENT WHICH DOES NOT RETURN SY-SUBRC
    READ Statement
    Syntax:
    READ DATASET <file name> INTO <field>.
    <Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
    Each READ will get one record from the dataset. In binary mode it reads the length of the field and in text mode it reads each line.
    CLOSE FILE:
    The program will close all sequential files, which are open at the end of the program. However, it is a good programming practice to explicitly close all the datasets that were opened.
    Syntax:
    CLOSE DATASET <file name>.
    SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the CLOSE is successful or not.
    DELETE FILE:
    A dataset can be deleted.
    Syntax:
    DELETE DATASET <file name>.
    SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the DELETE is successful or not.
    Pseudo logic for processing the sequential files:
    For reading:
    Open dataset for input in a particular mode.
    Start DO loop.
    Read dataset into a field.
    If READ is not successful.
    Exit the loop.
    Endif.
    Do relevant processing for that record.
    End the do loop.
    Close the dataset.
    For writing:
    Open dataset for output / Appending in a particular mode.
    Populate the field that is to be transferred.
    TRANSFER the filed to a dataset.
    Close the dataset.

  • 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".
    Assign points if helpful

    Why view have no stored data ? And what is the reason view take more time to query ?
    what happen if a view have stored data?

    user12941450 wrote:
    I want to know the reason that why querying view is slower then querying a normal table?..Untrue.
    For example take a table with 2laks record and a view for that table.
    If i make a query like( Select name,address from table) then it works fast then select(name,address)from view..Incorrectly interpreting the results.
    A view is a SQL statement. Only difference is that the SQL statement is stored in the database's dictionary. Let's consider the following view:
    create or replace view foo_view as select * from empWhen you use the view as follows:
    select * from foo_viewOracle sees it as follows:
    select * from (select * from emp)This is no slower, or no faster, than providing the following SQL to Oracle:
    select * from empSo if you observe a difference in performance between using plain SQL versus using that same SQL via a view, there are other reasons for that difference in performance. The reason is NOT that views are slower.

  • What are dyanmic internal tables and what s the exact use of forall entries

    what are dyanmic internal tables and what s the exact use of forall entries?

    hi,
    <u><b>dynamic internal table.</b></u>
    http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid21_gci912390,00.html
    http://www.sap-img.com/ab030.htm
    <u><b>
    FOR ALL ENTRIES</b></u> is an effective way of doing away with using JOIN on two tables.
    You can check the below code -
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR AUGDT
    FROM BSEG
    INTO TABLE I_BSEG
    WHERE BUKRS = ....
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR BLART BLDAT
    FROM BKPF
    INTO TABLE I_BKPF
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_BSEG
    WHERE BUKRS = I_BSEG-BUKRS
    AND BELNR = I_BSEG-BELNR
    AND BLDAT IN SO_BLDAT.
    *******************************8
    look another example
    what is the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES
    1. INNER JOIN
    DBTAB1 <----
    > DBTAB2
    It is used to JOIN two DATABASE tables
    having some COMMON fields.
    2. Whereas
    For All Entries,
    DBTAB1 <----
    > ITAB1
    is not at all related to two DATABASE tables.
    It is related to INTERNAL table.
    3. If we want to fetch data
    from some DBTABLE1
    but we want to fetch
    for only some records
    which are contained in some internal table,
    then we use for alll entries.
    1. simple example of for all entries.
    2. NOTE THAT
    In for all entries,
    it is NOT necessary to use TWO DBTABLES.
    (as against JOIN)
    3. use this program (just copy paste)
    it will fetch data
    from T001
    FOR ONLY TWO COMPANIES (as mentioned in itab)
    4
    REPORT abc.
    DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
    bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
    END OF itab.
    DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.
    itab-bukrs = '1000'.
    APPEND itab.
    itab-bukrs = '1100'.
    APPEND itab.
    SELECT * FROM t001
    INTO TABLE t001
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
    WHERE bukrs = itab-bukrs.
    LOOP AT t001.
    WRITE :/ t001-bukrs.
    ENDLOOP.

    There could be many causes and many solutions.  All of them start with creating a backup using iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  After that, try some of the steps written about in this blog;

    If none of that helps, you may consider putting the iPhone into DFU mode (Google it) which will reset the firmware that monitors the battery.

  • What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
    For your problem:
    # [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
    # If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

  • Hi, my MacBook Pro has become very slow... what could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

    Hi, my MacBook Pro is working very slowly.. what could be causing it and what can I do to fix it??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • What is the BIS pack and what does it allow?

    Hi BBers,
    just me again!
    I read over this forum the last few days, and got my email/facebook/msn question fixed via going back to the telstra shop and getting a BIS pack for $10/m along with my 1GB data included in my cap plan.
    So all emails working well ...
    My next question is ... what is the BIS pack, and what does it allow me to do/use?  it was 530pm when the sales lady got to me, so she whipped it up on the computer, and sent me packing saying it will all be good in 20 mins .... no real detail except "unlimited email" ... but im sure the other sales person when I bought my phone said "apps, msn, facebook and stuff" were covered by the BIS plan.
    So please help me!!!
    I have WiFi at home, and can connect to it, but now I dont know when Im using it, or the data pack, or the BIS haha its driving me (and my husband) nuts!
    Ok, wait for replies, thanks for all views/posts.

    Hello,
    FYI -- "here", as in these forums (which are targeted at BB/RIM services rather than carrier services), would not be the best place to find out something specific for one carrier. With so many thousands of carriers with dozens of different plans each, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of the specifics. The generic information is this:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    But, there certainly can be variations on that given the different packages carriers put together. I do suggest you do as JSanders recommended -- contact your carrier and find out what you've signed up for.
    Good luck!
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.
