What's the purpose of a CUSTOMIZE install of iLife 08?

So over the weekend I upgraded to iLife 08 on my machine. I wanted everything except Garageband. So I selected custom install from the options. I checked everything I wanted and made sure I did NOT check Garageband. It even said SKIP next to it. So I proceeded with the install of the other apps and low and behold a little while later I looked at the screen and it said GarageBand content being installed!
Does this thing have a mind of its own?! What is the purpose of a custom install if its going to put apps on that I don't want any way?
Sure enough when it was all done, I opened my applications folder and Garageband was in there. I have Soundtrack Pro and have no need for Garageband.

DVX100Shooter,
It is very possible that you inadvertently caused Garageband to be "checked" when closing the category under which it falls. In the "Customize" interface, items are included in sub-lists that are opened and closed using the "disclosure triangles." Individual items can be enabled or disabled with their own check boxes, or the entire sub-list can be enabled or disabled using the check box for that list.
What I am getting at here is that it is relatively easy to mistakenly enable a list heading, perhaps when closing the disclosure triangle, thereby enabling the items in the list. I've done this myself when navigating these dialogues.

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
2.what effect it does on the ume options to be choosen??
3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

What is the purpose of odbcinst.ini?

I have installed unixODBC.x86_64 (2.2.14) and mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.4-linux-el6-x85-64 on Oracle Linux Server 6.5 64 bit with Oracle 12c and MySQL Community Server 5..6.14.
I wonder what is the purpose of odbcinst.ini since the odbc driver is already configured in odbc.ini.
ODBC.ini has the following configuration:
[myodbc5]
Driver          = /tmp/shared/mysql-odbc/lib/libmyodbc5w.so
DATABASE        = peter
DESCRIPTION     = MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver
SERVER          = localhost
UID             = peter
PASSWORD        = peter
SOCKET          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

This is really a question more specific to the ODBC driver itself and really should be asked in that forum.
The purpose of an odbcinst.ini file is to list all installed drivers. The syntax is; a name followed by a property which tells us the drivers file name. For example;
[Sybase 11]
Comment = Super Duper Sybase Server
Driver = /usr/lib/libsybase.so.11
Setup = /usr/lib/libsybaseS.so.11
FileUsage = 1
Botton line is you need to have a working ODBC connection for DG4ODBC to work.

What is the purpose of the Oracle VM 3.0 sdk?

Hi
Someone knows what is the purpose of Oracle VM 3.0 sdk?
I saw in this forum that it can be used for compilation purposes,but I'm not sure how to do it.
I also didn't see any documentation
Thanks,
Rudi

To make it really simple, the SDK is literally a VM that has all the same stuff that you would get if you installed OVM via a CDROM but it also includes compilers and kernel-headers (and probably other things).
This is useful for people that need to compile things like kernel modules, or other things to put into a production (non SDK) Oracle Vm server.
We used this tool to compile AoE drivers to support a 3rd party storage solution, for example, and took those compiled packages and installed them on our OVM servers.

What's the purpose of copying the projects?

I use Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 Installation for Oracle for a guide to install the peoplesoft. When I did the step of Updating Database to Latest PeopleTools Release of Chapter 7B, I found that it told me to copy the project to the database but no to tell me to build it. Without building the project, the objects of the project can not be built. Should I need to build the project? What’s the purpose of copying the projects?

I'm afraid, you were starting to speak about Peopletools installation tasks, which come with its own particularities, now you're speaking about maintenance packs which come with other particularities.
Honestly, I didn't read the MP6ML installation guide, and if you need to build the project or not, I do not know, and if you need, I don't know the options neither.
But I'm sure, because I did it several times by the past for other MPs, everything was well explained in the doc and/or template, including the exact options you need to set before building the project.
For MP application, PSCA should be used as most as possible, if not possible, then manuals steps are described in the templates. If not, then open a case to Peoplesoft support.
...the second one just told me to copy the projects named HC9_MP6_ML_1_CP and HC9_MP6_ML_2_CP from file to my target database. So should I build the projects? And which options should I choose when I build the projects?If the template describe only a manual copy project (without build), then copy and do not build the project.

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

I simply never use it - but then again I haven't used the Dock for anything either sice slighty before the stone age. Many years ago I discovered LaunchBar ( http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html ) which does all my launching and a whole lot more too, for app switching I use Liteswitch X ( http://www.proteron.com/ ) which adds more bang to the Command-tab switcher, including Force Quit and along with Default Folder ( http://stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/ ) they are literally the first things I install on a new Mac.
But they are not for everybody. I drive by keyboard, some folks are happier using the mouse. Choice is the point.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

What is the purpose of Destination Function on Submit Button?(Doesn't work)

Hi Gurus,
There is a property "Destination Function" on Submit buttons.
What is the purpose of this field.
I tried setting some values here expecting following behavior in order:

What is the purpose of open/close connection data socket?

Hello everyone,
I am writing and reading values in OPC Server through data socket. What is the purpose of open/close connection data socket when writing /reading a value? Without the open/close connection element, it still work correctly. I am writing values in the server thru event stucture.I do not need any buffered reading or writing. What will happen if I didnt not use the open/close connection? Maybe it may cause some problems in my program which i didnt realise?
And I have attached an example of my program. Thanks

Hi YehChia,
I was talking about something like that:
1. Not good. since with every iteration the DS connection needs to be opened and closed.
2. Good. Since you open the connection only once then do the reads and close it afterwords.

IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?

What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.

For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.

OIM: What is the purpose of "Update" while editing group memberships

Hi,
This is when you lookup a user's Resource Profile and go to "Edit" link. The process form shows up along with a drop down to edit the group memberships. When we select one of the choices such as "Groups" another window pops up where we could add more entires into the child form. In this form there is an "Update" column with a radio button besides a "Remove" column. What is the purpose of this "Update" column? We can add or delete child entries but what does update do? Is there a way to remove this selection altogether?
Thanks in advance

Update I can see used for a cases where you have multiple columns on a child table entry and want to change one of them. Strictly speaking, you can update a single column child table rather than delete and insert also. Access policies always do insert and delete actions, but you will want to implement an update task as well if you expect anyone to be editing child tables on resources directly.

What is the purpose of Multiproviders???

Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to create a multiprovider.
I have read the SAP documentation but I still do not understand in what circumstances should I create a multiprovider for reporting.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide details on what is the purpose of multiproviders?
Assuming I have the following scenario, should I create a multiprovider for reporting?
Infocube A:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
- Shift Type
Key Figure
- Hours
Infocube B:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
Key Figure
- Amount
I need to report on both the key figures for each employee and what is the shift type of the employee for the specific cal month/year. The employee number, cal month/year and shift type will be used as selection parameters.
I am thinking of creating a multiprovider for this reporting need but I think there will be some problems.
For example:
1) If I input the employee number and shift type as selection parameters, the amount column will be empty when the report is displayed.
2) If I input on the employee nunmber, then I'll be able to see both the key figures when the report is displayed but the data are on different lines which does not make sense to users.
Emp ID   Shift Type    Cal Mth/Yr   Hours     Amount
200001   Shift         05.2006       10
200001   Not assigned 05.2006                 1000
Only if I don't show the shift type column, then the record will be display in a single line.
How can I rectify such a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Hi,
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Multiprovider - used when we want to report on chracteristics and keyfigures that are in different data targets.

What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?

Hi
I have a query related to the Output type .
What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?
And where shall we code for a new requirement and also what shall we code in it?
Thanks

Requirement Use
If the requirement is fulfilled (SY-SUBRC = 0), then output determination also takes into consideration output type or the access sequence, for which the requirement has been specified.
Output determination:
An object that checks whether the application data (for example, data determined in Customizing) corresponds to the condition records.
If this is the case, one or several messages are "found," which can then be processed (for example, sent electronically).
The condition records are searched for according to a predefined hierarchy in message determination.
After defining a new requirement no say 604 for billing pricing procedure and activating it, the standard sap system creates a routine with the no: 604 specifically for billing. So the name of the program automatically created by SAP will have the naming convention something like RV64A604. then you need an access key to go to the change mode for writing any logic. Then just put a break-point and then execute VF01 or VF04, then the cursor position directly goes into this routine, where the pricing structures KOMK and KOMP have the visibility. So based on the values flowing inside this structures, you can probably code that suites the business requirements.
there are some useful transactions like VOFM for maintaining the requirements and formulaes for a pricing procedure.
For viewing the requirements in the procedure you can also go to V/08 transaction.

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask?

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask in the layer panel when creating shape layers with a shape tool? I'm just curious when locking or unlocking the solid color layer and its vector mask can make a difference.

I don't understand what you said and your shape layer looks different then mine using CS5.
When the chain is deselected, I can't do anything with the move tool on the shape layer. This is the only difference I can find. Making the solid color uniform or not doesn't change anything.
Your example shows that you moved the position of the solid color, how did you do that? I can create a solid color layer and change its uniform look by applying an effect like gradient but I can't move the solid color itself around. How is this possible?

What are the components I need to install on my apps server

Hello All,
Our Oracle DB 10.1.0.3.0 is installed on Linux Server.
Oracle 10g Developer Site is installed on windows XP.
I have upgraded form & reports form earlier version 6.0..
Now I need to install Oracle Application Server on windows 2003 (x86) 32 bit.
I never done this b4.
My question is that ,
what are the components I need to install on my apps server to run Forms & Reports?
I am installing apps server on one machine.
But when I read documentation they said its better to install on two machine.
Regards,
Diana

Yes,
I'm sorry to tell you but for forms and reports (BI) you need to install almost everything, you need to install an infrastructure as first components, and then a midtier for AS with Business Intelligence option, in this second component you can chose to install Reports, forms, OCJ4, Portal, any other component you need or you thik you will need in the future.
You can install both in one Server if you don't have resources for 2 or 3 thinking on load balance. It works fine for me in one server but my operation is not too big.
