What's exact meaning for interface ,and where we use this interface

hi experts,
i have been asked what is interface

Hi
Interfacing is connecting two or more different entities. In our case, it is connecting one or more systems with SAP. Now extending our previous example, you are replacing some legacy applications but there are some applications that you don't want to replace yet. You need to somehow pass data back and forth between SAP and these remaining systems. Data may be going one way or the other way or both ways. You will still need to do some data transformations/translations etc to make the data understandable to the receiving system. This will continue as long as you want to keep the systems running alongside SAP.
In short, conversions are written to load data into SAP onetime. These are typically file based.
Interfaces are written to exchange/update/send/receive data between SAP and other systems on an ongoing basis. These can be in many forms, file based, idoc based, real time(business connector, XI etc are useful in this), xml, and the list goes on.
Reward me if its helpful

What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows?

What does "played" mean for podcasts and tv shows, in terms of the settings menu where you say to synch only "unplayed" shows? Does it mean you started playing it, or that it has played all the way through?
And how does this relate to the "dots" next to podcasts in the menu? These dots seem to go away when you start listening, but do not finish, a podcast. Is this the same as "played"?
Thanks!

You are probably seeing a USB cable under the iTunes icon. This means the Apple TV is having problems and needs to be connected to iTunes to be Restored. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367

What does ESA stands for ? and where it is use

Hi,
What does ESA stands for ? and where it is use ?
Thanx

Hi
ESA is enterprise Service Oriented Architecture.
This is a new strategic direction in which SAP AG is planning to take all industries to. They have developed SAP Netweaver for this. SAP as such is a great application but JAVA is very user friendly. In past integration of web applications was not so good with SAP.
With SAP Netweaver ABAP and JAVA gets integrated great and hence we have seamless integration between SAP and webapplicaation. This also helps to give great USER interfae with real time information search on web from SAP.
e.g. tracking information of sales order, invoice etc from web from SAP.
If helpful, reward accordingly.

Satelitte Pro A200 PSAE4E - What BIOS I need for update and how to do this?

Guidance please on A) the correct update version required B) the process
A) the machine came with Vista installed but it was down graded to XP to work on the Win2003/XP network.
The current bios Vers V5.20 do I upgrade to Vers 2.60 - win 32 (vista) or 5.60 Win
B) Toshiba FAQ - FAQ Ref.: TRO0000000b07 lists how to upgrade the bios unfortunately it does not list the Satelitte Pro A200 - so what is the procedure - thanks in anticipation.

Hi!
If you want to update the BIOS you need the version 5.60. The other version are for Vista and only 5.60 is for XP and so its the right one for you.
The BIOS update procedure is pretty easy. The update is Windows based that mean you can update it on Windows. Therefore extract all files from the zip archive and start the exe file. Then your BIOS will be updated.
But before you update it, close all running programs even your AntiVirus and Firwall and connect the AC/DC adaptor.
Good luck!
Bye

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long and I need an extension cord. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. I have been told that I need an extension cord that has AV and Mic to enable the remote shutter release to work with the extension cord. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

What is Split valuation? why and where it will be useful?

Dear Frndz,
Kindly explain What is Split valuation? why and where it will be useful?
Regards,
SRini

Hi,
Split Valuation
Use
For certain materials, it is necessary to valuate the various stocks in a particular valuation area separately. Reasons for this include:
Different origins of the material
Different grades of quality for the material
Different statuses for the material
Differentiation between in-house production and external procurement
Differentiation between different deliveries
Features
If a material is subject to split valuation, the material is managed as several partial stocks, each partial stock is valuated separately.
Each transaction that is relevant for valuation, be it a goods receipt, goods issue, invoice receipt or physical inventory, is carried out at the level of the partial stock. When you process one of these transactions, you must always specify which partial stock is involved. This means that only the partial stock in question is affected by a change in value, the other partial stocks remain unaffected.
Alongside the partial stocks, the total stock is also updated. The calculation of the value of the total stock results from the total of the stock values and stock quantities of the partial stocks.
You define whether the material is subject to split valuation on the accounting view of the material master record. There are two fields for this:
The valuation category specifies which criterion should be used as the basis for differentiating between the various partial stocks.
The valuation type specifies an individual characteristic of a partial stock.
Prerequisites
The valuation category is defined in the master record of a material. It determines whether the material is subject to split valuation. The specified material type must also be maintained in the material master record.
Activities
To specify the valuation type of a material for which valuation types have been defined in the material master record, proceed as follows:
Branch to the purchase order item detail screen.
Enter a predefined valuation type in the field Val. type.
Save the purchase order.
For more details , pls go through the following link :

What does it mean by Stream and how does it is different from Class?

What does it mean by Stream and how does it is different from Class?

www.dictionary.com does
Stream: An abstraction referring to any flow of data from a source (or sender, producer) to a single sink (or
receiver, consumer).
Class:
The prototype for an object in an
object-oriented language; analogous to a derived type in a
procedural language. A class may also be considered to be a
set of objects which share a common structure and behaviour.
The structure of a class is determined by the class
variables which represent the state of an object of that
class and the behaviour is given by a set of methods
associated with the class.

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

How do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where do i look it up?

how do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where would i go to see them? i have a program that is asking for it and i am unable to find where those are listed.

If you are not too tech savvy, try using the Network Utility found in the Utilities folder. Just have the Mac scan itself.
If tech savvy, there's always Fyodor's classic NMap, found at www.insecure.org.

What is exact difference between table and template in script

hello all
what is exact difference between table and template in script

Hi there.
Tables alow you to achieve more complex flows with internal tables. You can use different types os lines, like footer, header, line items, and differente types of line items. Also, and most important, you have different processing blocks, again header block (processed before processing of first row), body block (rows) and footer block (after last row or page break).
If you don't need any of this, use a template inside a loop to achieve something like a table. I personaly use templates only to draw lines, for example, before and after a loop, or to align some header in my documents.
A table, is a loop and template mixed to become a very good tool.
Regards.
Valter Oliveira.

What is the meaning of "PSEUDO" and "NONE" in v$session table.

Hi
What is the meaning of "PSEUDO" and "NONE" in v$session table.
V$SESSION:
SERVER VARCHAR2(9) Server type (DEDICATED| SHARED| PSEUDO| NONE)
thanks
siva

PSEUDO is the server column's value of killed sessions, until they are cleaned up by PMON.
A dedicated server session will always have DEDICATED as server value, while a shared server session has SHARED when it's active, and NONE when it's inactive.
