Hi,
Workflow automates the steps and activities in a business process according to predefined procedures and rules.
Workflow presents information and documents to the appropriate knowledge worker or agent (another entity such as a program) to make a decision or perform an activity.
Workflow tracks each and every step in the process flow and maintains an ongoing status.
Workflow also collects and reports all of the metrics associated with the execution and completion of the process.

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

  • Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?

    Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?
    How exactly it picks up a specific data value during Hourly aggregations and Daily aggregations?As in  How the value is chosen. Does it say averages out or simply picks  value at the start of the hour/day or end of the hour/day ??

    I'll try one more time. :)
    Views in the operations console are derived from data in the operational database. This is always raw data, and typically does not go back more than 7 days.
    Reports get data from the data warehouse. Unless you create a custom report that uses raw data, you will never see raw data in a report - Microsoft and probably all 3rd party vendors do not develop reports that fetch raw data.
    Reports use aggregated data - hourly and daily. The data is aggregated by min, max, and avg sample for that particular aggregation. If it's hourly data, then you will see the min, max, and avg for that entire hour. Same goes for daily - you will see the
    min, max, and avg data sample for that entire day.
    And to try clarifying even more, the values you see plotted on the report are avg samples. If you drill into the performance detail report, then you can see the min, max, and avg samples, as well as standard deviation (which is calculated based on these
    three values).

  • What is Exact logic to get BOM ITEM

    Hi all,
    BOm Item retrival logic is giving item ,But checked in CS03 there is no BOM ITEM present for that material and plant combination.
    Tried with FM 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_ITEM_SELECT 'and BAPI ' CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ'  to get Material BOM ITEM...Its working perfect and not giving any Item.....its correct output.
    But I dont want to use BAPI and FM.
    Please let me know anyone...what is Exact logic to get ITEM.
    My logic involves MAST -> STKO -> STAS -> STPO.
    Edited by: amit soni on Aug 26, 2011 11:15 AM

    Not pretty sure what you need.  My guess is that you want to know the link between the table related to BOM master and for some reason don't want to use the FM or BAPI.
    MAST  ->  Matnr (mat), werks (plant), stlan (bom usage), stlal (alt.bom #), you will get the stlnr (internal bom number).  Note that if you have multiple BOM, you will get the same alt bom#.
    STKO -> Use stlty (BOM Category = M Material), stlnr (BOM#), stlal (alt BOM#), you get the BOM header.
    STAS -> stlty (BOM Category = M Material), stlnr (BOM#), stlal (Alt BOM#), you get the STLKN ( item node)
    STPO -> stlty (BOM Category = M Material), stlnr (BOM#), stlkn (item node), you get the right item from the BOM header specified.
    Hope this is what you want.

  • What is the workflow for creating templates in full FrameMaker and pushing them to XML Author?

    Hi All,
    I'm working for a large organization (3000+) that is subdivided into 60+ business units.  I'm trying to figure out the workflow for using full FrameMaker to create a template that I can provide my business units to fill in via XML Author, send back to me, and then I can publish into a number of products using the Tech. Comm. Suite.  I am somewhat new to XML so I am not sure how to get my structure and format to translate.
    Can anybody clarify what the general workflow would be for this process?  All I have been able to find is the flowchart showing full FM to XML to XML Author and back to full FM.  From my test driving of the Tech Comm Suite though it has not appeared that easy.
    ---Corey---

    Hi Corey...
    Here's a rough outline of what is needed.
    1) First, you'll need to define the data model that your documents are using. This could be some existing model like DITA or a new custom model. Depending on the complexity of your document's needs, this may drive that decision.
    2) Once you've got a model, you'll need to create a structure application (in full FM). This structure application defines the model and appearance of documents. This will provide the fundamental structure of the "template" as well as placeholder text for the elements where you want people to provide information.
    3) Then you have to install the structure application on each of the XML Author installations. This involves copying the structure application definitions file (structapps.fm) onto the client systems as well as the structure application files (into the proper location as indicated in the structure application definition). The structure application definition may reference these files at a network location, which might simplify the deployment, but would require that each person is connected to that network in order to create the files (pros/cons with this approach).
    Once that's set up, your XML Author users should (in theory) be able to create a new document using the new structure application, then send you the resulting files. Lots of hand waving here .. but that's the general idea.

  • What is exactly STATISTICS in SQL Server

    hi all,
      What is exactly STATISTICS in SQL server query optimiser ?
    Thanks
    Selva

    Some good content with proper example can help you for sure.
    Link:
    http://blog.idera.com/sql-server/understanding-sql-server-statistics/
    Some part of text may give you idea
    If there’s an upcoming election and you are running for office and getting ready to go from town to town city to city with your flyers, you will want to know approximately how many flyers you’re going to bring.
    If you’re the coach of a sports team, you will want to know your players’ stats before you decide who to play when, and against who. You will often play a matchup game, even if you have 20 players, you might be allowed to play just 5 at a time, and you will
    want to know which of your players will best match up to the other team’s roster. And you don’t want to interview them one by one at game time (table scan), you want to know, based on their statistics, who your best bets are.
    Just like the election candidate or the sports coach, SQL Server tries to use statistics to “react intelligently” in its query optimization. Knowing number of records, density of pages, histogram, or available indexes help the SQL Server optimizer “guess”
    more accurately how it can best retrieve data. A common misnomer is that if you have indexes, SQL Server will use those indexes to retrieve records in your query.
    Not necessarily. If you create, let’s say, an index to a column City and <90% of the values are ‘Vancouver’, SQL Server will most likely opt for a table scan instead of using the index if it knows these stats......

  • What is exact differernce of at new and at onchange events?

    hello,
    what is exact differernce of at new and at onchange events?
    paramesh.kalluri

    Hi,
    Usually beofoer processing any internal table,
    we use the conrtrol events (AT NEW, AT FIRST, ON CHANGE OF etc) for better formatting options.
    When ever we go for these events, its better to sort the table by key fields .
    AT NEW-
    1) Only opne field can be given.
    2) It is a event that is used only with in a internal tabel (LOOP and ENDLOOP) processing.
    for ex:
    Assume internal table has these fields-
    spfli- carrid, connid, fldate.
    loop ..
    at new connid.
    endat.
    endloop.
    case 1.
    at new connid.
    On every new value, ie the comobination of both carrid,connid is checked here. For every new combination of both, the control jumps to next statement.
    case 2.
    at new carrid.
    here for every new carrid the event is triggered.
    AT NEW <field>- here the position of this field is important in table. based on this postiion it will check the proir feilds aslo
    into consideration for trigeerring the event.
    ON CHANGE OF <field1> field2>...
    1) here we can give any number if fields.
    2) the position of the field1 is not considered in the internal table.
    3) Its usually used in support projects.
    4) If we use this, then its a performance issue because,
    internally the field1 is stored in the other filed and this is used to compare for change in value. This rechacking is done internally. Hence it is not used mostly except in support projects.
    For ex: on change of connid.
    here only for every change in only connid is considered not the prior field ie carrid included. here the position of connid in internal table is not considered.
    On change of connid fldate.
    here exclusively both are cheked the combination is not considered. separately connid and fldate are cheked. for every new value the evvent is trigggered.
    Reward if useful.

    Workflow approval message is stuck in the inbox. It mail_status is mail. It's status is open.
    I can see the approval message in the inbox and it is holding up other emails as it's just sitting there.
    I can't see any reason for it to be sitting there so I bounced the WF Notification Mailer using:
    service_components -> WorkflowMailer Service -> Stop All wait for it to stop completely then -> start all
    So after starting all -> the workflow services (all 3 ) State is Activated, but there is a Big red X in the Status and the status of the workflow I'm trying to get out of the inbox is still open.
    There is nothing in the logs yet so I can't see what that big red X means.
    So I decide to stop and start the WF services one by one.
    I stop workflow document web services service first. As soon as it starts to stop, the Worfkflow agent listener and the Workflow Mailer suddenly start up, the big red X goes away and the messages in the inbox all process.
    What's up with that? What is " the workflow document web services service?" and why is it hanging my Mailer?

  • What is exactly difference btw individual collective call blank and 1?

    Hello all
    Could you please to help me get ride of that what is exactly difference btw blank and 1 in MTO scenario?
    it is better if you guy can show me a example.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In case of any requirement through sales order, it will be the special stock categoery E and material should have Individual and Collective Indicator as 1 in MRP4 view .It depends on what item category you are going to use in the sales order .
    In MTS strategy, You can't achieve based on each requirement But you can get the plan order( system will combine all the requirement ) generated.
    Example
    If you have Asembly Material A, and components X,Y & Z for A.
    For MTO
    MRP generates the Planned Order for the Assembly and components with respect to the sale order requriement.
    Fot MTS
    MRP generates the Planned Order for the assembly and components based on the stock requirement.

  • What is exactly wait (ms) though I understand its definition?

    Hi What is exactly wait(ms)? and how does it work? When I tried to test it and the value is not correct.
    See the pic below.

    software timing at it's best.  the OS is not deterministic.  So it waits what is 'about' that amount of time.  If you need more precise timing, there are other avenues...
    By the way.  You said that the values are incorrect, but did not disclose what the final time number was... so out of curiosity, what was it?

  • What is exactly meant by text and hierarchy??

    what is exactly meant by text and hierarchy??
    if i have cust_id as characteristic and cust name,address etc as its attributes what will be text and hierarchy in this case??

    Hi
    There are three different types of master data in BI:
    1.       Attributes
    Attributes are InfoObjects that are logically subordinate to a characteristic. You cannot select attributes in the query.
    You assign the attributes Person responsible for the cost center and Telephone number of the person responsible for the cost center (characteristics as attributes), as well as Size of the cost center in square meters (key figure as attribute) to a Cost Center.
    2.       Texts
    You can create text descriptions for master data or load text descriptions for master data into BI. Texts are stored in a text table.
    In the text table, the Name of the person responsible for the cost center is assigned to the master data Person responsible for the cost center.
    3.       Hierarchies
    A hierarchy serves as a context and structure for a characteristic according to individual sort criteria. For more detailed information, see Hierarchies.
    Features
    Time-dependent attributes:
    If the characteristic has at least one time-dependent attribute, a time interval is specified for this attribute. Since the time frame for master data on the database must always be between 01.01.1000 and 12.31.1000, the gaps are filled automatically (see Maintaining Time-Dependent Master Data).
    Time-dependent texts:
    If you create time-dependent texts, the system always displays the text for the key date in the query.
    Time-dependent texts and attributes:
    If texts and attributes are time dependent, the time intervals do not have to agree.
    Language-dependent texts:
    In Characteristic InfoObject Maintenance, you specify whether texts are language specific (for example, with product names: German ® Auto, English ® car) or are not language specific (for example, customer names). The system only displays texts in the selected language.
    If texts are language dependent, you have to load all texts with a language indicator.
    custid as characteristic and cust name,address etc as its attributes what will be text and hierarchy_
    Cust name will be text
    address will be text
    custid will be hirerchy_
    Only texts exist:
    You can also create texts only for a characteristic, without maintaining attributes. When you load texts, the system automatically generates the entries in the SID table.
    Hope it helps
