What is requirement pointer?

Hi all
In PBIM table there is one field i.e. requirement pointer, what is that require pointer, how it will be used, is there any relation with material Number or requirement quantity
Tanku2019s in advance
Kranthi

Kranti,
1. You have mentioned about the table PBIM
*This table gives you information about the Independent Requirements for Material / Plant combination.
*But it doesnot have much detail information.
*If you take a detail analyse in this there will be one entry for unique comibation of the material,plant,reqmts type adn requirment version.
2.Even though you would have maitained entries for a material M @ Plant P for each month ..Ex: 01/2008 to 12/2008
3.In this case if you need more details of the each entries then they will be missing in the PBIM.
4. If you need to get more details then you have to enter the Reqquirement pointer in the Table PBED-(Independent Requirements Data)
5.IN this table this Requirements pointer is the main key figure..
Kindly let me know if the above information is useful for you ..
let me know if you have any clarification.

What is the point in converting type to shapes rather than just flattening at required resolution?

Ok, this may sound like a stupid question. Lets say I'm designing a trifold in Photoshop. The printer requests that designs be done at a resolution of 300dpi.
What is the point in converting all type to shapes prior to saving or embedding fonts when I can just flatten my entire design at 300dpi? Isn't that what the print shop is going to do anyway...just flatten my design? Or do they print type at a higher resolution than the raster portions of the design? This has confused me for too long. I hope someone can clear this up. Thanks

The core of the bad advice is telling you to rasterize all your type. In light of this bad advice, the fact that they're saying 300ppi does make sense, because the last thing they want are images @ 2400ppi!
That been said, Photoshop is never the right tool for most text applications anyway, even though it does support vector output (to a point, and with some issues that are sometimes problematic to get around). If you have larger text that needs to be integrated into the image, or effected with Photoshop filters, etc. that's one thing, but if you're laying out paragraph text / body copy / lyrics and liner notes for a CD, etc. then you should be using Illustrator or InDesign -- an app that is designed to handle vector text and objects.
re: online printers: sorry, I haven't used any as of yet. I do have a couple of one-off book projects I'm going to send to Lulu, and a friend here in work uses Overnight Prints and seems pretty happy with them. But aside of that, I can't really offer any specific recommendations. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.

What is the point of Precision and Scale in Number Type?

What is the point in having PRECISION and SCALE in number type? If you create the column with just NUMBER ie.without
specifying precision or scale , you can enter numbers with any precision and scale.

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).

WSUS vs SCCM SUP - What is the point of changing? Pros and Cons of both

Hi,
I have been using WSUS forever and have just made a very painful change over to SCCM 2012 SUP. In a room full of experienced WSUS users and facing a handover of SCCM SUP, I really need to have this question answered - What, if any, are the advantages of
SCCM2012 SUP over WSUS. It's certainly not ease of use, ease of implementation or understandability.
Even if i accept that yes, they are two different things now and i shouldn't think of SCCM as being like WSUS, I still have to compare and contrast, honestly, what they do and how they do it
WSUS is ridiculously easy in comparison to SUP. With WSUS, I install it, create some GPOs and assign to OUs. I create security groups and add the servers in scope to to thoise groups and those security groups to the policy. I have different groups set up
to keep separation of DCs and APP servers and SQL and SCCM and Antivirus servers and workstations
If needs be i have a text list of all my servers/workstations and can individually target using PSEXEC to run wuauclt on any number of clients. It works great and is easily understandable
Now, enter SCCM 2010 and SUP.
The first thing i HAD to know was the last thing i learned. And not from Microsoft.That is that there is really only one method now, imposed by limitations on Software Update Groups and Deployment packages. You can only create a package of 1000 or less updates
This means chopping up your historic updates and having them deployed as a separate strategy from your newer updates cycles
Secondly, every month from now on you will need to create and sort your updates into a meaningful Update Group and Deployment package - even if you set up an Automatic Deployment rule, you still need to manually create your Update Groups
You can only have one deployment package per update group and will need one software update group per "type" of install (available or Required) AND you will need one software update group and deployment package PER COLLECTION!
To make this work as simply as possible, it will mean having two collections Available and Required (for example)
Each collection will have a SUG associated with it (each with a limit of 1000 updates remember). Each group of circa 1000 updates takes about 2+ hours to compile and you will have a minimum of 5 groups per collection to get up to October 2014
After this your ADRs should now do it all for you but lack the ability to create update groups so you have to do this manually every month beforehand. Whew!!
Thirdly, in the background, WSUS still downloads metadata. In SCCM you should be pointing every update group manually to this folder. Same with Deployment packages and ADRs. Why is this not built-in - intuitive? These are then copied and downloaded as full
packages into their respectively (manually) created source folders
Now, when updates expire or are superseded, you have to manually replace them from each SUG
And also quite a big thing i havent heard anyone else comment on, is the fact that these updates are now NOT shown in the Windows Update feature - they now appear in the Software Center - so now the Servers i sent "Available" updates have to be
logged onto and manually installed - instead of being able to individually target them like i did with PSEXEC and wuauclt
And logging?? There are at least 100 different logs to look at using the Trace Log Tool. It's a full time job just figuring out what logs to look at to resolve any problems
This is, in my opinion, a really poor effort and the documentaion is wildly inconsistent across many forums.
Some kind of standard document is needed. And i say this after having followed Microsoft's own documentation and using technet forums
I, for one, just need one BIG question answered for now - how do i remove the SCCM SUP client and revert back to wuauclt on all my clients - if i remove SUP from SCCM will it remove the client from the clients?

HI Jason,
I have spent a long time trying to get this to work. My requirements are to have WSUS deploy updates automatically with as little intervention as possible and to be able to explain and show the process to others who will administer the system long after
I've gone
The reason I still have to think of things in the WSUS way is that I have a broken update infrastructure that doesn't do what my requirements are. So I now currently need to log into all my "Available " Servers to update them manually instead of
being able to remotely execute the updates. I'll look at the SDK but this is the first time I've heard of it
From the top - yes I agree that's a typo it's Update Goups that can only have 1000 updates. Do you agree that this causes a problem for this scenario? Updates since before 2013 amount to several thousand and so I have to break these up into groups of 1000
- one each for Available and Required groups. That means 8 groups straight away
Having to cater for these historic updates means painfully waiting 2 hours or so for each package to be created. I've done this already and its not pretty but its essential (unless I'm doing it wrong but I am following TechNet forums)
My ADRs will absolutely not create the Update Groups and the docs I have read also say that this is a manual monthly process - Create a Group every month and then use an ADR to use that group - is that not correct?
Update groups - you are mixing my words up and saying the same thing in a different way - "Update groups can absolutely have multiple deployments targeted to different collections" change the "can" for a "must" and you see my
problem. You cannot create a single Update Group, package it up and the deploy it to both Available and Required groups. You need two update groups for this. One for available and one for Required.
Metadata - OK then what is it that WSUS downloads to E:\WSUS\WsusContent\... ? And why is this to be set as the download location for any Update Group, Deployment Package or ADR?? I have to create or select a deployment package which is another
manually created folder under "sources" for which the download location is set to my WSUS folder. This doesn't work unless I set my download location to Microsoft. But WSUS should already have synced in the background to WsusContent so why would
I want to download from Microsoft. And I only want to actually download the "approved" packages. So as far as I'm aware the WSUS\WsusContent folder only contains metadata which is not downloaded until required. Am I wrong? What/who/how downloads
the binaries and when?
Lastly, What doesn't make sense? The goal used to be automation. If and when I needed to, I used to be able to manually intervene for single or multiple devices using PSEXEC to run wuauclt. With SCCM I can see for example, 2x non compliant devices just now.
In the old days I would just psexec onto them and run wuauclt. In SCCM I err... Hmmm.. what? What do I do? Will look at the SDK
Just one other thing - is there no way at all to continue to use the Windows UPdate control panel and have it show the same available updates as Software Centre? Why can SCCM not just work like Windows Update does? If I run Windows Update on any server it
says up do date but if go to Microsoft to check it always comes back with updates
I just want my internal SCCM SUP to work the same way Microsoft updates works for an internet connected computer. Completely Automatic. No intervention. My group of Availabel servers I would like to be able to remotely and individually install from either
a central console or a script. Again, I will look at the SDK for this
Thanks for your reply and advice. I'll give it one more week. ;-)

I'm not sure but I give it a try.Turn your security(WPA/WEP) and Firewall temporarely off. HOST is the IP address of the printer. QUEUE can be YES or a specific amount of prints, like 1,2,3......
If I look at the manual of your printer I see that you can find the IP and MAC addresses in the Network Configuration Report.I don't know what the USER is doing there because if there is a user then there must be a password.

HT1349 What is the point of iCloud online storage?

Really, I paid for iCloud online storage, 20gb's worth and found out after purchase that it dosn't do anything. The only thing it does is store backup's and a few other little things. You can't use it for anything usful like use it to download apps, or even just app updates, my iPad is only a 16gb and it keeps running out of storage doing app updates, or OS updates, I use my iPad for work, and I require certain apps to do what is required, I had to deleted 4 of these apps just to do a software update, it is rediculess I though the whole point of online storage was to limit these problem, I'm very nearly on the verge of selling my iPad and reverting back to a laptop, but there a bit bulky for what I require. When I 1st got my iPad I thought it as a godsend until storage became and issue, I know what most of you are going to say " get a bigger gb iPad" but the storage issues isn't really my documents and stuff it's the apps themselfs and the fact that some won't function if there not updated, if you turn updates of on a windows system everything still works pretty much.

iCloud is usefull for backing up data and it keeps documents, pictures, calendars synced across multiple devices. iTunes in the cloud offers a way to free up space. You can delete songs purchased from iTunes and if you want them again you can re-download them free of charge. Same goes for Apps already purchased. Photostream keeps the last 1000 photos static on the server for 30 days and keeps them synced across all of your devices like an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, computer. It is not a complete storage solution or an open hard drive in the sky. It wasn't meant to be. Dropbox might be more of what you are looking for. It doesn't automatically update stuff but you can store things on their server the way you seem to want to.

What is reporting point in REM mfg ?

Hi PP expertise,
Can someone explain what is reporting point in routing/backflush ?
how to know the routing use reporting point ?
Thanks

Dear,
Reporting Point Backflush is used when working with Longer Lead Times.
Reporting point backflush
Controls whether you can carry out reporting point backfushes when backflushing in make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
Use
Using the reporting point backflush:
You can withdraw the components close to the operation for which they are required which is very useful when working with longer lead times.
You can calculate the number of incomplete products (work in process).
You can post scrap quantities directly at the appropriate operation.
You can carry out a reporting point backflush at every operation defined as a milestone in the routing. In the repetitive manufacturing profile, you can also decide whether you want to make the reporting point backflush mandatory or optional.
Dependencies
The reporting point backflush is carried out in the same way as the milestone confirmation.
Steps to be follw:-
1)You must assign a suitable repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record to be able to backflush a material using either the mandatory or the optional reporting point backflush function.
2)You must set the optional or the mandatory reporting point backflush in the repetitive manufacturing profile.
3)This type of backflushing corresponds to the milestone confirmation in make-to-order production. Therefore, in the routing, you must select a control key which has indicator 1 (= milestone confirmation) in the confirmation field.
4)You must enter the routing in the production version of the material. The system first looks for the routing entered in the detailed planning section. If no entry exists here, the system then uses the routing from the rate-based planning section.
5)You must carry out a version-specific or a standard cost estimate.
6.You are recommended to use the version-specific cost estimate which can be carried out in shorter intervals than the standard cost estimate.
7In MFBF screen you can flag the "RP Backflush " check box which means reporting point backflush and enter the Reporting point that is the operation #.
Hope clear to you.
Regards,
R.Brahmankar

What's the point of redo logs?

Why does Oracle bother writing everything to redo logs? If it's going to write data changes to the disk, why not just write them once to the data files and be done with it? What's the point of doing it twice? And if it's a redundancy thing, why not mirror the data disks?

Hemant K Chitale wrote:
How would you backup a database while it is in use ? You can't lock all the datafiles to prevent writes to them. Yet, transactions may be updating different blocks in different datafiles even as the backup is in progress. Say your backup starts with datafile 1 (or even datafiles 1,2,3,4 in parallel) at time t0. By time t5, it has copied 20% of the datafile to tape or alternate disk backup location. Along comes a transaction that updates the 100th block (somewhere within the 10-11% range) of datafile 1 and also the 60th block of datafile 5. Meanwhile, the backup continues running, already having taken a prior image of the 100th block and not being aware that the block has been changed. At time t25 it completes datafile 1 (or datafiles 1,2,3,4) and starts backing up datafile 5. Now, when it copies the 60th block of datafile 5, it (the backup utility) doesn't know that this block is inconsistent with the backup image of the 100th block of datafile 1.
Instead of 1 transaction imagine 100 or 1000 transactions occurring while the backup is running.
Surely, Oracle must be able to regenerate a consistent image of the whole database when it is restored ?
That is what the Redo stream provides. The Redo stream is written to Archivelogs so that it can be backed up -- no Archivelog file is "in flux" (particularly if you use RMAN to backup the Archivelogs as well !).
Had Oracle been merely writing to the datafiles alone, without a Redo stream, there is no way it could recreate a consistent database -- whether after Crash Recovery OR after Media Recovery.Interesting point about how redo logs facilitate backups. So what you're saying is that the redo logs help keep the data in the actual data files in a consistent state by only writing full transactions to them at a time. Presumably Oracle will either write out the redo log data to the data files before a backup or will at least prevent the redo logs from writing to the data files during a backup. I always wondered how databases got around that problem of keeping the system available for writing during a backup. I wonder how SQL Server does it.
Hemant K Chitale wrote:
Now, approach this from another angle. A database consists of 10 or 100 or 500 datafiles. You have 10 or 100 or 1000 sessions issuing COMMITs to complete their transactions, which could be of 1 row or 100 rows or 1million rows, each transaction of a different size. Should the 1000 sessions be forced to wait while Oracle writes all those updated blocks to disk in different datafiles -- how many blocks can it write in "an instant" ?
But what if Oracle manages to write much less information -- the bare minimum (called "change vectors") to re-play every transaction to a single file serially ? That would be much faster. Imagine writing to 500 datafiles concurrently, having to open the file, progess to the required block address and update the block, for each block changed in each file VERSUS writing much lesser information serially to a single file -- if the file is full, switch to another file, but keep writing serially.As to your second point, I don't really have a good enough understanding about the format of redo logs vs. the data files to follow you totally. Are you saying that it takes more time to write to the data files because you have to find the proper place in the B-Tree before you can write to it? And that doing that is slower than just opening the redo log and always appending new information to the very end? Maybe so, but it seems like all transactions having to write to a single redo log in serial would slow things down since there would be a ton of contention for one file. Whereas with the data files, you could potentially have several transactions writing to different files simultaneously (provided you hardware would support doing that). And it seems to me like a change vector would contain a lot more information than a field value, but, like I said, I'm not really familiar with the format.

What's the point of updates - if..

Why do the upgrades tend to mess up my other applications? DVD Studio Pro - Bluetooth. I just feel what's the point of getting upgrades now. I did the Pro Application Support application which did take care of my DVD SP - however shouldn't upgrades be exactly that - UPGRADING - not have causes more problems. Taking time away from the work that needs to be done. Sorry - just had to rant a bit.

If you do a search on these forums it would probably boil down to doing these things.
Permissions Repair
Whenever a program that's installed places items into the /Library folder and Applications folder, it often has to amend permissions in order to do so which is why authenticating as an 'Admin' user is required so that it's able to carry out these amendments and place files where they should be and have their correct permissions assigned. Sometimes this change is not always corrected and may affect other programs operation. To help reduce side affects like normal User account being able to change and delete programs in the 'Applications' folder. Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities has a 'Permissions Repair' routine which ensures that the proper permissions are assigned based on their package rules.
Cron Scripts
These are scripts which the OS usually initiates itself, but performing them manually by using the Terminal can be beneficial.
Good programs worth looking into are, Onyx available at www.macupdate.com
Running it's maintenance scripts means you don't have to go into the Terminal manually and it does it's stuff very well, I've used it since 10.2 and never had a problem with it, it's updated regular, it's free and better than similar programs doing the same both free and those that charge.
Safe Boot
Starting up the computer after the chime and holding the 'Shift' key down, runs the fsck command, which verifies and fixes any problems with a startup volume, though not all, it also deletes the font cach and databases, so some issues with fonts can be helped by doing this, also if you seem to be getting conflicts in software, this can help to make sure the Apple components are working fine as it only loads the minimum 'kexts' and drivers so the computer operates, almost the equivalent in OS9 but not exactly.
There's lots more but doing these few things can help keep a system in shape, especially if no time was spent doing it beforehand. A note though, doing Permissions repair is not part of a 'Regular' maintenance routine, if you see message like 'Do not have permission' then it's worth doing it then.

What is the point of having a smartphone if nothing ever works?

Before my GS3 updated to kitkat my apps would crash all the time. My phone updated last week and now the apps work but in what used to be areas with strong steady 4g coverage I have no data. So annoyed. I can turn my data on and without touching it I'll have 4g for a minute and then none before coming back for 5 seconds only to go out again. What am I paying for? My office doesn't have wifi and I have a large data allowance but what is the point if I can never use it? I do a lot of travelling and use my phone as a GPS but as I have no no longer have reliable service anywhere even in Philadelphia where it was a constant 4g. Not to mention the GPS is unreliable as well. Waze is an amazing GPS but to have a phone that doesn't work half the time is frustrating. I should just go back to my old flip phone that lasted me 2 days on a single charge. My phone is due for an upgrade in a few months. Maybe I'll save some money and get something that isn't a smartphone and I won't have to worry about paying for the data and everything else that comes with having a smartphone.

I can understand that Verizon did not make the phone. My satellite provider did not make the dish nor the receiver I use either, but if they malfunction and make it to where I cannot receive their service (the satellite signal) then the satellite provider assists in getting equipment that works. If it is a software issue, they have more sway with the provider of said software, as the representative and mass user of the software, than individual customers do. So if Verizon is receiving multiple complaints from their customers, complaints that their customers are unable to use the service that they are being paid to provide, then they can go to manufacturer to request the fix. Who do you think Google or Samsung is going to listen to more, an individual who received a phone from a 3rd party (Verizon) or the entire company who purchases those items (phones and software) en-masse and thus can more affect their bottom line? As another example... when you purchase a car and the seatbelt malfunctions, do you go to the seatbelt manufacturer or back to the car maker? Should each person who has a seatbelt malfunction go to the seatbelt maker or should the car maker issue a recall on all affected vehicles and offer a fix, provided from the seatbelt maker? When I go back to Samsung or Google, and IF they listen to me and initiate a fix, what priority is Verizon going to make it to get it out to their customers? Or is Verizon relying upon each disgruntled user to go find their own fix without it affecting them (Verizon) at all? Other service providers have already started issuing fixes according to my research... and if Verizon delayed pushing this update out for so long (as I've seen complaints that it was), why did they push it with these known issues and not insist before they pushed it out that Google or Samsung fix it first so as not to get these complaints? Sorry, but Verizon is at least partially responsible for my inability to use their service, as the provider of the equipment and software that I need to be able to utilize their services. I didn't go out on the black market and purchase this phone, I bought it at a Verizon store. I have not rooted the phone or in any way done anything other than add about 6 apps to the phone from the way it was provided to me by the store, and their required update - pushed across their cellular and data service - is what has resulted in my phone no longer being functioning. So yes, while Verizon may not manufacture the phone or the software, they are in fact the provider of said items to me and thus are responsible, and should be pushing back to Google or Samsung to get a fix for their customers. I was hoping to hear that Verizon was doing just that, but it does not appear to be the case.... Yes, other providers may be having the same issue, but I've seen them working with their customers to get a solution, providing CUSTOMER SERVICE to their customers, and that is all that I and others like me, have been looking for from Verizon in this kitkat fiasco and which they have been failing at.

What is required to integrate Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (On premise) to SharePoint O365?

The client has his AD and Exchange 2010 on premise and would like to integrate with Office 365 SharePoint.
I know it is possible to integrate SharePoint On premise to Exchange Online but how possible and what is required to create it in the opposite way while using AD and Exchange On Premise to SharePoint Office 365?
Thanks!

This is not possible. The only integration point for SharePoint Online is Exchange Online.

What is Required for Distribution of Desktop App

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what is required to distribute JMF. I don't want to make users install an executable, I just want to include required JARS/data files/libraries for a streaming webcam (no audio). (I have read the README and searched all over online, but I'm still not sure)
I create my app, and I have customizer.jar, jmf.jar, jmf.properties, mediaplayer.jar, multiplayer.jar, sound.jar in the lib folder. Although I only need the jmf.jar, and possibly the jmf.properties? I am using NetBeans.
Anyways, I still can't get it to work on another WinXP computer. If I disconnect my camera on my computer, the app still knows what type of device camera it is looking for (vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0), but when I trying to run it on another computer with or without the camera connected , it doesn't seem to know because no devices print out when I print the list.
Thanks for your time, I am out of ideas.

Do you know where I can find a programmer's guide that explains the Dll's that I need to include for JMF distribution without the installer? I can't find documentation anywhere. The Windows delivery doesn't seem to include any, so I guess they are only installed with the executable installer?AFAIK, there isn't one...
Or better yet, do you know much about DirectShow? or can you point me to a nice replacement to JMF, possibly one that has some JNI included? I just want a lightweight simple video framecapture support on Windows 7. ( I have read that JMF might not work on Windows 7 anyways) I can't believe I haven't found anything good online yet, maybe I am looking in all the wrong places.Adobe Flex and Silverlight 4 are probably the most commonly used "new" technologies for dealing with AV data... You can use C/C++/C# to use some native AV libraries, but as far as using Java, there really isn't much support for video because you really need lower-level access than Java provides to take advantage of things like hardware acceleration and such...
So all of the Java APIs (JMF, FMJ, Quicktime for Java, etc) are essentially Java wrappers for native code... so those are the 3 things I'm aware of that do AV in Java...

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM?

What is the point of this forum when over half the questions go unanswered?
In fact, what is the point of creating and selling a product that so many people can't even install without an expert looking over their shoulder?
This really sucks! I am really sorry that I elected a major in Oracle Development.

Erin,
There are reasons for doing controlled releases, and your implementation experience with prior upgrades is one of them.
Doing an upgrade requires the management of the underlying repository, the underlying repository has changed significantly from 309 to 902 owing to the introduction of OID and other significant changes to the architecture.
Running a controlled release allows Oracle to ensure that the final upgrade scripts when made publicly available are as solid and bug-free as possible whilst allowing those customers who wish to upgrade sooner rather than later and take part in the feedback process can do so with the knowledge that Oracle can help them should they come across any issues.
We currently have over 150 customers running the upgrade scripts and providing feedback, so much so that we are hoping to release them publicly in the very near future.
On another note, I should point out that in your post you are referring to DB upgrade versions and not Application Server upgrade versions..

What is the point of having 17 apps if no one is skilled in that many disciplines anyway?

I have been told how having access to 17 apps is a really great deal. The problem is no one is skilled in that many different disciplines. Even if someone took the time to learn all that software they would still not be competent in all those fields. I don’t know any creative types that are really good at graphic design AND video AND illustration AND music AND the web coding etc. What good is access to all those tools if you don’t have all the skill to do all those different line of work?
I keep hearing people say “Isn’t it great to know that you could use all that software if you wanted to?” No! It isn’t! Having access to tools without the necessary skills to competently use them is pointless! I have worked in graphic design for about a decade and have been improving over all that time so the idea that I could just start a new field adequetly is redic! You need to have an entire team of people who work in many fields to do all those things really well. So my question is what is the point of having the software running off one machine with a license for only one user?

@W_J_T (and MikeChambers)
“yeah you gotta be good at something rather than no good at anything, that is true. ;-)
I guess that is why I don’t understand this big push by Adobe to make their users become mediocre in many areas. Can you please elaborate on this point Mike Chambers? Why should I be bad at a lot of things rather then good at a few things? I don’t get it.
“As far as apps vs fields, the first thing many people wanna know is if you know the required software for the given task(s).”
On one hand I understand the need to have software skills on the other hand software skills without artistic talent does little good.
“Why that is I don't know, its rather odd and does not allow people the same ability to only focus on their more specialized sectors like in the past with the Creative "Suites".”
I understand the problem Adobe had with suites; all the products had to be released on the same time schedule which meant some were released way before they should have been. CC gets around that problem but Adobe hasn’t done a good job at telling why anyone needs all the apps.
“Did you just wish to have some dialog, or do you have a specific question or suggestion about things? I am kind of confused at this point sorry. ;-)”
It just seemed odd to me when I kept hearing these Adobe evangelists getting excited about the ability to use so many apps. I came here since I was hoping Adobe could explain why having apps in so many fields that you are not talented in is a good deal. So far I am still waiting for Adobe to answer that question.
“your passion seems to be solely the design aspect of things.”
Yes, it is but perhaps most importantly is the issue of time dedicated to learning a new craft. I have a good amount of design work so looking into a career change at this point doesn’t make sense for me. If I changed my career I would have to turn down design work that I currently have coming in and that would be a little silly.

Instantiating a class of type 'Collection' - What's required?

The following code:
Collection var = new Data1();
evokes the controller error:
DataBase.java:38: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor Data1 ()
location: class Data1
Collection var = new Data1();
^
The class Data1 extends TreeSet which implements Collection.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here or just what is required to
instantiate a class as type Collection?

to mattbunch:
Thanks for you interest. The following is complete and runnable. In the
meantime, I resolved the problem with the two code snippets that are
at this point commented out to demo the original problem. All comments
are appreciated. [email protected]
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class DataBase{
public static void main(String[] args){
String sep = new Properties(System.getProperties()).
getProperty("file.separator");
Collection var = new Data1();
var.add(new File("C:" + sep + "Tom"));
Iterator iter = var.iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){
System.out.print(iter.next() + " ");
}//end while loop
System.out.println();
}//end main
}//end class
class Data1 extends TreeSet {
String listItem;
boolean response;
public /*Collection*/ Data1(String addon){
listItem = addon;
/*return (Collection)Data1;*/
TreeSet Data1 = new TreeSet();
public boolean add(Object listItem){
return Data1.add(listItem);
public Iterator iterator() {
return Data1.iterator();

What is requirement pointer?
