    What is meant by the term redundancy in respect to High availability?

    More then one, of "something". So if the "active" fails, then the "backup" can take over. Depending on exactly what we are talking about, then possibly both can be active at the same time,
    sharing the load, and if one fails then the one remaining will do the full load itself.
    Thing "something" can be a wide variety of things, since at power agg, disk, network connection, a whole server, a whole disk subsystem, etc. The details regarding architecture etc depends on exactly what
    this "something" is.

  • Hi,  This was not what I meant.     The requirement is:      Drag and drop any one of specific list

    Hi,
    This was not what I meant.
    The requirement is:
    Drag and drop any one of specific list of components say x, y,z in the parsys
    Only after the drag and drop of these components other components can be dragged to the parsys. So we can say that the parsys should allow only the specific components to be added first and only after that other components can be added.
    Thanks ,

    Hi there
    I'm guessing that you mean to ask if one is able to force a user to perform a drag-and-drop as part of a simulation?
    Unless you program it in Flash or some other application it isn't avaiable. Check the link below for more.

    Hi,
    When an Agent is installed and configured to report to a Management Server, it is automatically configured to fail over to ANY other Management Servers. Failover behavior can be configured via PowerShell scripts or AD Integration. 
    A resource pool is a collection of management servers used to distribute work amongst themselves and take over work from a failed member.” – subset from

  • MDM adapter : what is meant by the database server ?

    Hi all,
    we are testing MDM adapter on PI 7.1 (no eHp). The adapter config requires an MDM server but separately a database server entry as well.
    Does anybody have a working MDM adapter ? if so, what did you fill in in the "database server"
    parameter of the adapter ? is it a URL ? JDBC name ? JNDI name ? IP address ? and to which database ? Í'm assuming the database of the MDM server, but that one is installed on the MDM server
    (for which we configured an IP address in the "mdm server" field).
    additionally, can somebody explain the reason for that separate Database config parameter ?
    I have found no explanations in the documentation so far.

  • What is meant by the "other" segment in my ipod's summary bar?

    My iPod 's memory is full but I noticed that a lot of it is taken up by "other" (1.47GB) I wondered what that is or if I can delete it somehow. My iPod is only 8GB so i need the space for music. I don't have many apps or photos and have deleted what I can. Please help.

    The "other"includes thing not included in the other listed categories. Like music artwork and some app stuff.
    An "other" largeer than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • What is the difference between instance variable and class variable?

    i've looked it up on a few pages and i'm still struggling a bit maybe one of you guys could "dumb" it down for me or give and example of how their uses differ.
    thanks a lot

    Instance is variable, class is an object.What? "Instance" doesn't necessarily refer to variables, and although it's true that instances of Class are objects, it's not clear if that's what you meant, or how it's relevant.
    if you declare one instance in a class that instance
    should be sharing within that class only.Sharing with what? Non-static fields are not shared at all. Sharing which instance? What are you talking about?
    if you declare one class object it will share
    anywhere in the current program.Err...you can create global variables in Java, more or less, by making them static fields. If that's what you meant. It's not a very good practice though.
    Static fields, methods, and classes are not necessarily object types. One can have a static primitive field.

  • What is the Laymans Explanation of the Term BT Lin...

    If someone could explain, in the simplest terms,
    A.  What is meant by "Linear Multicast Channels" (please no links !!) and what are its advantages over what we presently have with our present BT Vision service
    B. Do any other providers use this system at the moment
    C. (i) Do any BT Vision Boxes presently in use, use this system NOW. (ii ) if not, are any boxes already pre equiped NOW to be able to use this system when its rolled out, (iii) if so, which present boxes have this capability 
    I ask this basic question as this subject is often discussed on this forum and I haven't a clue what it really means.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A) Linear multicast channels are live broadcasts over the internet. So, for example, BBC1HD will be coming to you over the wire rather than the aerial. Multicast is a one to many transmission mechanism which means that the channel only has to be sent over the network once and anyone who wants it picks it up as it comes in. This is distinct from Unicast which means that each device which wants the broadcast has its own copy flying across the network which doesn't scale well for mass communication. Multicast needs specialised hardware on the network to make it happen.
    B) There are other providers which offer live channels over the internet, but whether they're using uni- or multi-cast, I know not. I seem to be remember reading that the other providers don't allow recording of the channels (yet), however BT are going the whole hog and allowing 2 channels to be recorded. Things may have moved on, though, so willing to be corrected on the first bit.
    C) Any of the boxes running the new software can be easily upgraded to get the multicast channels. There are people on this board who are receiving them. Any black boxes running the old software need to be upgraded to the new software first. Silver boxes can't run the necessary software. YouView boxes can't yet until the software is available later in the year.
    Any further confusion, just ask.

  • Understand the term instance

    HI all,
    I want to understand the term what instance means.this is the definition what i have got
    "An Instance is an administrative unit that combines SAP system components providing one or more services.
         The services provided by an instance are started and stopped together.
         You use a common instance profile to set parameters for all components of an instance.
    So by this definition does that mean that if we have dev , qual and prod all are ecc based systems then we have 3 instances ?I want to understand what this instance means specifically with respect to SAP.

    Hi,
    As per me instance will be a Server or application server, you have to understand as per the situation.
    for eg: if any doby called dialog instance then it will be appserver of your central instance.
    here u can see 2 instances one instance belongs to appserver and another instance itself central instance.
    please have a look on the below link.. i hope u will get good idea abt your query.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/c4/3a5eb7505211d189550000e829fbbd/content.htm
    As per u r another query yes u have 3 instances in u r landscape.
    hope the above informaiton will helps.

  • What is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?

    Hi folks,
    Could you please explain me, "what is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?"
    Are they really same or not?
    --Subbu                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    Hi flounder,
    I too know that there is no such a term GLOBAL in java.
    generally people use to say a variable which is accessible throught out the class or file has global access
    and that will be called as a global variable...
    my point is very much similar to what Looce said.
    In simple that is not a technical term, but just a causual term.
    In technically my question is, "What is the difference between a instance variable and public variable?".
    Hi looce,
    Thanks for the reply. even thats what my understanding too....in order to confirm that i raised this question..
    Your reply has given a clear answer...... thanks again.
