What is the difference between the 10.6.8 update vs. the combo update?

What is the darn difference between the 10.6.8 update vs. the combo update? I read both of them I don't see a difference except that 1 is much larger than
the other, I never understand the reason for this confusing action. Found on the support downloads page, can someone please explain this annoying
reason I was forced to come here to ask this question???

Antone,
The 10.6.8 update is a "delta" update that only applies the changes since 10.6.7 so it's much smaller.
The Combo update is all the cumulative updates since 10.6.0 rolled into one so it's much larger.
The Combo update will apply to any release of 10.6.

Captfred

    What is the difference between Commitment, assigned, actual and available in the shopping cart process? Also what are the different commitment stages?

    Hi Tejas,
    Is these terms related to WBS Budget ?
    If yes, then they are just general terms FI use in WBS.
    Actual : Actual budget assigned to WBS
    Assigned : Budget consumed after SC is approved and PO is created
    Committed : Budgete assigned to a SC or PR (PO not created)

  • Could someone tell me the differences between ipod 4g released in January and the new iPod 4g released other than iOS5 ?

    I just bought an iPod touch from NewEgg which said it was the latest iPod. When I opened it, I couldn't find iMessage. So when I checked the version, it was 4.3.5. Just want to know the differences between both iOS5 and earlier one, other than of course the OS. Wondering whether to return it or upgrade the OS to iOS5.

    The OS really is the only different thing.
    An iPod Touch 4th generation will still be an iPod Touch 4th generation no matter what OS you have running on it.
    If you want to know more of the feature of iOS 5 then you can check here: http://www.apple.com/ios/.
    You also don't need to return the product if you want the latest OS. You can do it yourself through iTunes.

    In the case of Fail-fast iterator, if a thread modifies a collection directly while iterating over it, the iterator will thow ConcurrentModificationException . Say,
    for (Iterator it = collection.iterator(); it.hasNext()) {
        Object object = it.next();
        if (isConditionTrue) {
            // collection.remove(object);  can throw ConcurrentModificationException
            it.remove(object);
    }As per specs,
    Note that this exception does not always indicate that an object has been concurrently modified by a different thread. If a single thread issues a sequence of method invocations that violates the contract of an object, the object may throw this exception. For example, if a thread modifies a collection directly while it is iterating over the collection with a fail-fast iterator, the iterator will thow this exception.

    Thanks.

    From the European Payments Council website:
    Remittance information: structure the unstructured
    The SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme permits the end-to-end carrying of remittance data on a structured or unstructured basis appropriate to the nature of the payment (the remittance information usually contains details of the contract underlying the transaction such as an invoice number, for example). The length of the remittance information in the SCT Scheme is fixed at a standard length of 140 characters and banks are obliged to pass on the full remittance information.
    The EPC supports a proposal developed by the European Association of Corporate Treasurers (EACT), which allows companies to agree on a structure for the remittance information. The EACT suggestion on how to structure the "unstructured" remittance fields allows companies exchanging a credit transfer to agree, among other, on information to be transmitted in a specific manner. Banks will carry remittance information structured in such an agreed way unaltered throughout the process chain.

  • What is the difference between tkprof and explainplan

    Hi,
    what is the difference between tkprof and explainplan.

    Execution Plans and the EXPLAIN PLAN Statement
    Before the database server can execute a SQL statement, Oracle must first parse the statement and develop an execution plan. The execution plan is a task list of sorts that decomposes a potentially complex SQL operation into a series of basic data access operations. For example, a query against the dept table might have an execution plan that consists of an index lookup on the deptno index, followed by a table access by ROWID.
    The EXPLAIN PLAN statement allows you to submit a SQL statement to Oracle and have the database prepare the execution plan for the statement without actually executing it. The execution plan is made available to you in the form of rows inserted into a special table called a plan table. You may query the rows in the plan table using ordinary SELECT statements in order to see the steps of the execution plan for the statement you explained. You may keep multiple execution plans in the plan table by assigning each a unique statement_id. Or you may choose to delete the rows from the plan table after you are finished looking at the execution plan. You can also roll back an EXPLAIN PLAN statement in order to remove the execution plan from the plan table.
    The EXPLAIN PLAN statement runs very quickly, even if the statement being explained is a query that might run for hours. This is because the statement is simply parsed and its execution plan saved into the plan table. The actual statement is never executed by EXPLAIN PLAN. Along these same lines, if the statement being explained includes bind variables, the variables never need to actually be bound. The values that would be bound are not relevant since the statement is not actually executed.
    You don’t need any special system privileges in order to use the EXPLAIN PLAN statement. However, you do need to have INSERT privileges on the plan table, and you must have sufficient privileges to execute the statement you are trying to explain. The one difference is that in order to explain a statement that involves views, you must have privileges on all of the tables that make up the view. If you don’t, you’ll get an “ORA-01039: insufficient privileges on underlying objects of the view” error.
    The columns that make up the plan table are as follows:
    Name Null? Type
    STATEMENT_ID VARCHAR2(30)
    TIMESTAMP DATE
    REMARKS VARCHAR2(80)
    OPERATION VARCHAR2(30)
    OPTIONS VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_NODE VARCHAR2(128)
    OBJECT_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
    OBJECT_INSTANCE NUMBER(38)
    OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(30)
    OPTIMIZER VARCHAR2(255)
    SEARCH_COLUMNS NUMBER
    ID NUMBER(38)
    PARENT_ID NUMBER(38)
    POSITION NUMBER(38)
    COST NUMBER(38)
    CARDINALITY NUMBER(38)
    BYTES NUMBER(38)
    OTHER_TAG VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_START VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_STOP VARCHAR2(255)
    PARTITION_ID NUMBER(38)
    OTHER LONG
    DISTRIBUTION VARCHAR2(30)
    There are other ways to view execution plans besides issuing the EXPLAIN PLAN statement and querying the plan table. SQL*Plus can automatically display an execution plan after each statement is executed. Also, there are many GUI tools available that allow you to click on a SQL statement in the shared pool and view its execution plan. In addition, TKPROF can optionally include execution plans in its reports as well.
    Trace Files and the TKPROF Utility
    TKPROF is a utility that you invoke at the operating system level in order to analyze SQL trace files and generate reports that present the trace information in a readable form. Although the details of how you invoke TKPROF vary from one platform to the next, Oracle Corporation provides TKPROF with all releases of the database and the basic functionality is the same on all platforms.
    The term trace file may be a bit confusing. More recent releases of the database offer a product called Oracle Trace Collection Services. Also, Net8 is capable of generating trace files. SQL trace files are entirely different. SQL trace is a facility that you enable or disable for individual database sessions or for the entire instance as a whole. When SQL trace is enabled for a database session, the Oracle server process handling that session writes detailed information about all database calls and operations to a trace file. Special database events may be set in order to cause Oracle to write even more specific information—such as the values of bind variables—into the trace file.
    SQL trace files are text files that, strictly speaking, are human readable. However, they are extremely verbose, repetitive, and cryptic. For example, if an application opens a cursor and fetches 1000 rows from the cursor one row at a time, there will be over 1000 separate entries in the trace file.
    TKPROF is a program that you invoke at the operating system command prompt in order to reformat the trace file into a format that is much easier to comprehend. Each SQL statement is displayed in the report, along with counts of how many times it was parsed, executed, and fetched. CPU time, elapsed time, logical reads, physical reads, and rows processed are also reported, along with information about recursion level and misses in the library cache. TKPROF can also optionally include the execution plan for each SQL statement in the report, along with counts of how many rows were processed at each step of the execution plan.
    The SQL statements can be listed in a TKPROF report in the order of how much resource they used, if desired. Also, recursive SQL statements issued by the SYS user to manage the data dictionary can be included or excluded, and TKPROF can write SQL statements from the traced session into a spool file.
    How EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF Aid in the Application Tuning Process
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF are valuable tools in the tuning process. Tuning at the application level typically yields the most dramatic results, and these two tools can help with the tuning in many different ways.
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF allow you to proactively tune an application while it is in development. It is relatively easy to enable SQL trace, run an application in a test environment, run TKPROF on the trace file, and review the output to determine if application or schema changes are called for. EXPLAIN PLAN is handy for evaluating individual SQL statements.
    By reviewing execution plans, you can also validate the scalability of an application. If the database operations are dependent upon full table scans of tables that could grow quite large, then there may be scalability problems ahead. On the other hand, if large tables are accessed via selective indexes, then scalability may not be a problem.
    EXPLAIN PLAN and TKPROF may also be used in an existing production environment in order to zero in on resource intensive operations and get insights into how the code may be optimized. TKPROF can further be used to quantify the resources required by specific database operations or application functions.
    EXPLAIN PLAN is also handy for estimating resource requirements in advance. Suppose you have an ad hoc reporting request against a very large database. Running queries through EXPLAIN PLAN will let you determine in advance if the queries are feasible or if they will be resource intensive and will take unacceptably long to run.

    Aside from any other benefits of the paid developer programs, the Developer forums are focused solely on developers. This forums is just one little out-of-the-way corner of a much larger, more consumer oriented discussion site. Questions asked in the Developer forums are typically more difficult and may take several days to get an answer. Questions here are more beginner-type questions and you will get an answer much more quickly. The Developer forums are mostly populated by professional developers who have a much different perspective than you get on most other public internet forums. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you probably wouldn't believe me anyway.

  • Would you please summarize what the difference between tc and alv?

    hi, experts,
      would you please summarize what the difference between table control and alv base on the function and usage practice.
    for example, as i know:
    1.edit
      tc: can edit in the same screen and save.
      alv: pop up a sub screen to let user edit, so this is unconvenient.
    2.functional button
      alv: can have many functional button as default ,eg. sort, summary and so on
      tc:  developers must implements by himself.
    3.color
      alv: can have and change color
      tc:  cann't changed color
    some client may required the data displayed in alv and edit in tc ,such as example BCALV_EDIT_02.
    above are my idea, experts, would you give me some comments on my opinion and summarize what the difference between those two components? i should make it clear in order to consult the UI with my client.hunger for your advice, thanks!

    ALV Grid is basically used for display puropse. It is more user friendly. There are arious features ( such as coloring, sorting, saving to a local file, sedning by mail etc. ) These featurs make ALV Grid a very good option to display the data .
    However , the table control is not only used to display data take from the database table, but also you can do operation such as deletion of data from database table, insertion of data into the database table and updation also. Yeah it has not got the various features whihc ALV has.
    So table control and ALV Grid , if you are just using for display purpose, then ALV Grid is a better option due to its layout and attractive features. But if you want to do the database operations other than display, table control can be used.
    As far as execution is concerned, I think ALV Grid is faster.
    ALV grid control is faster when compared to Table control. But the comaprision is Negligible .
    One of the major differences comes in taking of line items - ALV has an advantage over Table Control when it comes to update database from it.Table control only allows maximum of 999 records at a time where as this limitation is not there in ALV.
    Also,a main feature of ALV Grid is that it contains a standard set of functions. These functions extend beyond the functions of a table control.
    These two UI elements require different keyboard navigation, with ALV Grid being more user-friendly.
    An application can display table data in ALV Grid or in a table control. In some applications you can choose between displaying and editing data in either ALV Grid or a table control. If a configurable button () appears in the right upper corner of the table, it is a table control.
    Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
    ALV is Application List viewer:-
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    TABLE CONTROL:-
    ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.

  • What is the difference between audio volume and audio loudness?

    Hi to all,
    While trying to pep up sound levels to my audio clip, I found these two parameters which could enhance the sound levels...volume and loudness. Can anyone please tell me the difference between these two?

    I clicked on the triangle at the left edge of the audio clip and went into the audio enhancement window where loudness parameter can be adjusted. Clicking the 'go back' button at the top left edge of this panel gets you to the audio panel where you can adjust the volume, pan etc. [dunno what panning means]!
    Yea, I too thought that these two meant the same before I observed these two options.

  • What is the difference between ejb reference and ejb handle?

    Hi:
    I am newbie for J2EE.
    I want to know what is the difference between ejb reference and ejb handle
    from the client view and from the container view?
    Very Thanks!
    Stive

    Hi John,,
    1) Ejb Object Handle are nothing but a long lived proxy for the
    ejb object, using this handle user can disconnect from the Ejb Server/Container
    at any time
    and after some time using the same handle he can able to resume the conversational
    state
    with the server / container where he was been disconnected From.
    And there are currently two Handles , HomeHandle and Handle for EjbHomeObject
    and EjbObject
    Respectively. Both these handles have Persistent reference to the EJB Object
    2) Ejb Reference is used to lookup a bean from other Enterprise Bean
    Ejb reference is a nickname for the JNDI Location that you want to lookup a bean.
    your code will looks up a Home object via using this nickname
    and the deployer will bind the
    nickname to the JNDI location of its choice
    EJb Reference are declared in the deployment descriptor
