What is the time used in these forums?

One would tend to assume that the time shown in these forums (for example, the posting times) refer to the USA, although this could be wrong. However, there are (I think) four different time zones in that country. Maybe for the natives it is quite clear what "8:13 AM" means, but it is not at all clear for at least this one inhabitant of another country. Even acronyms such as EPT (I am not sure if I recall this correctly from the old forums) don't mean much to me.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to specify in some clear way what time being used in these forums?

Claudio, it's just like I said before, all of the information produced by Jiveware is unreliable--more often wrong than not.  I'm not even joking around now.  It goes for virtually every statistic and piece of automated information here (because it's the most buggy software known to man ).  They just don't test enough, they obviously don't care, and they sure as heck can't write correctly functioning software.  The whole forum, front and backend, appears to be behave like an overengineered software mess.
(There's a Java backend on this trash.  And Java developers wonder why everyone thinks they are incompetent... since there are so many Java devs around--being the most popular language--there's always people like the Jive script kiddies to give the ones that know what they're doing a bad name.)
As for the time it's using, it probably syncs up to the time on Planet Jive--where even the Jives can't agree on what time it is because every answer is "correct"!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

    All are Used In Material Requirement Planning(MRP)
    Consumtion base Planning :-   Consumption-based planning procedures are straight forward materials planning procedures with which you can achieve set targets with relatively little effort. Therefore, these planning procedures are used in areas without in-house production and/or in production plants for planning both B- and C-parts and operating supplies.
    The type of order proposal which is automatically generated during materials planning depends on the procurement type of the material. For materials that are produced internally, a planned order is always created. For materials procured externally, the MRP controller has the choice between creating a planned order or a purchase requisition. If he decides to create a planned order, he must then convert it into a purchase requisition and make it available for the purchasing department.
    in MRP there are three Type
    1) Reorder Point Planning
         A) VB - Manual Reorder
         B) VM - Automatic
         C) VV - Forecast
    2) Forecast Based Planning :- Material planning is based on forecasted requirements. This is preferred when the future requirements might not be the same as the past consumption, but to forecast, the past values are considered.
    Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values as future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run in forecast-based planning.
    The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. If, during the current period, material has already been withdrawn from stock, then the forecast requirement is reduced by the quantity of material that was withdrawn. This means that the quantity of the forecast requirement that has already been used is not included in the planning run again.
    3) Time Phase Planning :-  If a vendor always delivers a material on a particular day of the week, it makes sense to plan this material according to the same cycle in which it is delivered, but displaced by the delivery time. This is possible with the time-phased planning procedure.
    If a particular material is to be planned using this procedure, you must set the MRP type for time-phased planning and you must enter the planning cycle in the material master record. You enter the planning cycle in the form of a planning calendar in the Planning cycle field. You must also define a planned delivery time and the Lot-for-lot order quantity as the lot-size key.

  • What is the hold up on these Drive

    Hey Guys, I think I never would do this to Creative, but I think they should get all the bashing they deserve. What is the hold up on these Drivers for Vista. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and I don't see any progress on this sound card drivers at all. Why are they taking so long. Vista is already out and Creative is still using the beta drivers. I am really getting pissed of at Creative. I am planning to build a new system this year and I am going to think twice before I put in a another Creative Product in my system. If they can't provide drivers on time, then I don't see why I need to continue to buy their products. This is just my opinion. P.S. Fusion (Pissed?Of Guy)?

    Your complaint has been noted, but we've already discussed this. Look at the official threads for statements from Cat.
    In the meantime, no posting threads encouraging anyone to bash anyone else, thank you.

  • How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

    Hi,
    Here is an idea for your request.
    Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
    Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
    Choose following characters into your objects:
    InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV )  - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
    *Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP  = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
    *BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ,  ( this will give you the name of the queries)
    In key figures choose,  Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
    (number for query run)
    Create a condition , for top 20.
    Hope this helps.

  • SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? what are the major changes in these two?

    Hi Experts,
    I am keen in knowing about Soa Suite 11g. SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g, BPEL changes? what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? it would be helpful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or modifications came in 11g.
    Please share this valuable information.
    Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?

    what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Few major changes to enlist are that SOA suite 10g was using Oracle Application Server (OC4J) however 11g is on Weblogic and 11g is based on SCA. B2B is now part of SOA suite itself and OSB can share a domain with SOA. You may refer below link to know few more -
    http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2010/03/11gr1_patchset_2_111130_soa_fe.html
    Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? OSB has a separate installer but can share a domain with SOA and SOA-direct binding is also supported now. Refer below link to know more about new features in OSB 11g -

  • What is the exact use of statistical updates in V1,V2 and V3

    Hi,
    Can anyone answer me some questions.
    1. what is the exact use of statistial update in V1,v2 and V3. If data is same in both document update and statistical update the why u need a second table with redundant data.
    2. When BW extracts data is it recommended to extract from statistical tables or document updated tables.(i read that statistical updation is tailored for reporting)
    3. Is V3 applicable only when BW extracts data from R/3.
    4.In case of V3 the initialization of updates are done from BW side or R/3 side. i mean is there any relationship between scheduling of dataloading using an infopackage in BW and the V3 process taking place in R/3

    1. First one has to understand that R3 is OLTP system purely used for transactin processing while BW is used for OLAP ie reporting purpose only. At a table level if we do not have  a redundant second table the R3 system will be over loaded when the OLTP & the OLAP systems access the same table for their respective purposes. So we have to take data from the document table with a time lag and put into the statistical tables so that BW will get the data as and when required.
    2. This question is related to 1 and the above answers both.
    3. V3 is a generic process and is used for data extraction from the R3 transaction tables and can be used for any system as such.
    4. Both the processes are independent of each other and there is no relationship.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • What is the logical use of defining Dimension Object Relationships in DBI?

    Hi!
    I am reading the Oracle Daily Business Intelligence Implementation Guide and as I am following the guide on how to extend DBI, I saw a section which discusses how to create dimension object relationships. Until now, I could not fully realize what is the logical use of defining this relationship among dimension objects. I hope someone can enlighten me on this matter...
    Thanks.

    It LIVES ON FOREVER, and starts to take on its own personality, hungrily chasing down other objects in memory and ATTACKING THEM AT WILL. Also it grows over time, in its evil attempt to CONSUME YOUR ENTIRE MACHINE, and comes out and EATS YOU UP TOO! MWAHHHAAAHHHAAAA
    No wait, that was a sci-fi. It just lives until no more references to it exist and thus becomes eligible for garbage collection, and is only a "JAVA" feature not JDBC.

    Hi,
       A variable is used to store value depending on the definition type like,
    Single Value,
    Interval,
    Selection Option.
    When we execute a Query, the variable defined for the particular field will be displayed.
    Depending on the input conditions for the variable, the data corresponding to that field will be displayed.
    Types :
    1) User Entry
    2) SAP Exit
    3) Customer Exit
    Search for these variable types in SDN.
    You will get more than enough explanations.:-)

    Why do Orange and EE blame Apple for the delays in unlocking my iPhone. 10 months now. What is the exact process that these companies have to go through to unlock an iPhone and is Apple in any way to blame for the delays.
    Indeed how long does Apple take to carry out its part of the process. 
    It seems to me that Orange are just trying to stall me despite the fact that I am out of contract with them now.  I originally paid to have the phone unlocked back last November.  This was never done. 
    I have phoned them numerous times over the last two months but still they haven't done it.  Can anyone advise me and has anyone had similar problems with them.
    Thanks

    I certainly understand that only Orange can unlock my phone.  My annoyance is that they blame Apple so I am keen to know what exactly is Apple's involvement. 
    I presume that Orange have to tell Apple that the phone has been authorised for unlocking by Orange and that Apple then notes that in some way on iTunes so that the user can then complete the process on iTunes. 
    What I would like to know is how much time Apples part in this process takes.
    I would also like to make contact with others who have had similar problems.
    Many thanks

  • What is the actual cost of these plans?

    What is the actual cost of these plans?
    * $59.99 a month for 450 minutes
    * $79.99 a month for 900 minutes
    * $99.99 a month for 1,350 minutes
    Although they will very, Answers welcome from anyone in the USA. So I can have and idea of the cost with taxes and fees. I am located in both LA and NYC. I currently have a NYC number with Verizion using the 450 minutes plan. The plan cost $39.99 before taxes and fees and $48.42 after taxes and fees.
    Breakdown of Monthly Access Charges:
    450 minute plan: $39.99
    Verizon Wireless' Surcharges and Other Charges & Credits: $3.31
    Taxes, Governmental Surcharges & Fees: $5.12
    Total Current Charges: *$48.42*

    My plan total is $84.99/month, then with taxes and fees it comes to $93.40 each month as the total bill. The biggest fee is the state sales tax, at just over $5 on my last bill. Then the 911 fees, fed regulatory fees, and all that are a few bucks each.
    My plan -
    450 Minute (required) $39.99
    Unlimited Data (required) $30
    1500 Text msgs (optional) $15
    Total = $84.99
