Which is the better format for message handling - flat files or SOAP?

We have the possibility to specify from our EDI partner how to send messages into XI. We can ask them to send the messages in as SOAP or flat files.
Is there a definite preference for one format over the other? Can somebody advise with reasons?
BR,
Tony.

>>We have the possibility to specify from our EDI partner how to send messages into XI. We can ask them to send the messages in as SOAP or flat files.
I would strongly suggest you go with SOAP rather than File.
Reason : In case of file, the EDI partner will send a file to a machine in your network where FTP server is running and you make your XI server poll the particular folder every 10 min or so. But in case of SOAP, the <b>communication is real time</b>. Your EDI partner can invoke either the SOAP adapter directly or send a SOAP msg directly to Integration Server.
Just my ideas.

  • Which is the better converter for mts and mpg files?

    Ok, I just have a quick question regarding conversion software. Does anyone know which is better...PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP2? Besides the cost...pavtube is cheaper. Which one is faster and offers the best quality? OR is there even a better one out there? I have mts files and mpg files I'd like to convert for use in FCP 6.

  • Which is the better lens for wildlife, sport action canon 70-200 is usm ii series L or Canon 100-400

    Which would be a better for wildlife and sport action Canon 70-200  mm is usm ii serie L f/2.8 or Canon 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6?

    On what camera? It makes a big difference depending upon whether you are using full frame or a crop camera.
    Also depends upon the particular sports and type of wildlife most commonly involved, how much reach you might need.  Outdoor, daytime sports vs indoor and nightime sports is another key factor.
    On a crop camera a 70-200 is generally a lot more usable than it is on full frame, for sports and wildlife. An f2.8 lens and 70-200 might be ideal for indoor sports even with a crop camera. It also might be plenty for large game that can be pretty closely approacted. But for small and more shy wildlife, sports on a  larger playing field, you'll more likely need the 100-400. But as an f4.5-5.6 lens that's going to be more of a daytime-only lens.
    The 100-400mm is unusual in that it's a push/pull zoom. This can be particularly fast to use and makes the lens popular among photograhers shooting fast moving subjects such as birds in flight and air shows.
    If you give serious consideration to the 70-200/2.8 IS II in combination with teleconverter EF 2X III, I'd suggest renting and trying them toghether first. The reason is that a stronger 2X teleconverter has more effect on image quality than a weaker TC. The specific combination of the 70-200 Mark II lens and the 2X Mark III TC is pretty darned good.... better than the combo earlier versions of each item.  But whether or not it's up to your expectastions is a judgment call only you can make. So it might be wise to rent before you buy, just to be sure. 
    If instead you start to take a hard look at the 100-400mm, once again you might want to rent it and give it a try. Some people really like the push/pull zoom design. Some don't. (I'm one of the latter...  but to be fair this is largely an old  prejudice from trying to use that type of zoom in the past, long before IS. I always found push-pull zooms hard to get a steady shot with.... But the 100-400's IS goes a long way toward solving that problem.)
    And those two really aren't your only choices.
    Personally I use a pair of crop cameras (7D), most of the time one fitted with a 70-200, and the other fitted with a 300/4 IS, sometimes in combination with an EF 1.4X II teleconverter. Or, when I don't need to be mobile and can set up a tripod, I'll use a 300/2.8 IS, both by itself and with EF 1.4X II or 2X II teleconverters.
    Another possibility is two lower cost lenses... such as a 70-200/4 IS in combination with a third party lens such as the Sigma 120-400 OS or 150-500 OS. Those lenses are considerably less expensive than the 70-200/2.8 II and the 100-400, respectively. You might be able to afford both and still find they meet your needs very well.
    I use the 70-200/4 IS, as well as a copy of the first version of the 70-200/2.8 IS, and they are excellent lenses too. No doubt about it, the 70-200/2.8 IS Mark II is top of the heap and exceptionally good... but rest assured those other 70-200s are no slouches.
    If using a full frame camera, for large field sports and more distant, smaller wildlife.... better start saving up. You're going to need one or two of the super telephotos, such as the new EF 200-400/4L IS 1.4X that I'm saving up for!  
    p.s. By the way, if not already doing so you might want to try Back Button Focusing. It's a very popular technique among sports/action and wildlife photographers. I've been using it for years for virtually everything I shoot, and can't imagine using any other method now.

  • Which is the better option for using windows on mac ...parallel or vm ware fusion

    i want to use c# ,.net, c++ , on my macbook pro ....which software i should purchase parallel or vmware fusion

    They both work well. I like Fusion. Others like Parallels. Still others like VirtualBox.
    They all have free trials, VirtualBox is a free product, so try them for yourself and stick with the one that works best for you.
    I opted to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

  • Which is the better app for devloping a freelance design website?

    Hey Forum
    I'm putting together a website for my freelance design business. I've rough out the site, but now I'm stuck between using Dreamweaver or Flash. The site is relatively simple with the common home, about, philosophy portfolio and contact pages. I know that Dreamweaver is a real workhorse and is very stable. But as a designer I want a little more glitz and freedom which Flash seems to have. If I do use Flash, I'm worried about bandwidth, search capabilities and device compatibilities.
    Any insight would very helpful
    KatyDad

    The stability of Dreamweavere will have no little bearing on the stability of your web site--Dreamweaver provides tools, it doesn't teach you how/when to use them.  Your decision on which way to go should be based on what it is you are trying to sell.  If you are selling web site design, then you may want to temper things towards a non-Flash design base so that you can demonstrate your coding skills alongside the graphics aspects of it.  If you are selling Flash-based designs, then Flash would be a good vehicle to demo the work itself.  If Flash is not a big part of what you are selling, then it should not be a big part of what you put on display.  But you can always mix things up, showing Flash elements and html/css elements, if the intention is to show well-rounded skills across the design options palette.
    Be prepared for a large swing in differences in the responses.

  • DVD Rip - Which is the best format for editing?

    I have to wedding ceremony DVDs that I am needing to edit. My DVD ripper can convert to mpeg-1, mpeg-2, mp4, wmv, and avi. I have just switched from Apple to Windows (FCP to Premiere). In the past I would convert to .mov. Which would you recommend that I rip to?

    A couple of choices:
    1. Get the source material, not DVD format
    2. Refuse the assignment
    3. Import the VOB files - assuming they are 100% DVD compliant - and take the quality hit.
    4. Convert to MPEG2 / PCM 48 KHz WAV and take the quality hit.

  • Which one is the better cover for protection on tje ipad mini with retina

    I  bougth an mini ipad with retina, my 5 years old will use using too. Which one is the better cover for protection?

    You'll have to think in terms of a shell rather than just a cover. Main problems are dropping and liquid getting inside. Plus a shell can add a bit of extra heft and "grippability", aiding little hands in holding on the slippery aluminum back. Can add some sort of screen protector to prevent scratches, though that will reduce sensitivity to an extent; however, a direct blow will inevitably shatter the Gorilla Glass.
    That being said, I am very happy with the Lifeproof Nüüd case that has protected mine from the get-go. Decided to forego screen protectors in lieu of better touch performance; almost 2 years down the road the screen is still scratch free.

  • Which is the better processor?

    Hi, I've been looking at different cpu benchmarks but some are saying different things. Which is the better processor adobe premiere pro and after effects cs6? Intel core i5 3210M or AMD A8 4500M?

    The best benchmark site for Premiere Pro is http://ppbm5.com/
    If you are going to edit HiDef you need an i7 or for standard def video at least an i5
    The AMD lacks some of the special firmware instructions that PPro uses, so will always be slower than Intel

    The ALV object Grid methods allow the same functionality as ALV grid report function modules but are displayed within
    a screen (dialog program). SAP has provided a suit of programs which demonstrate how to For examples see standard SAP
    programs as detailed below:
    BCALV_EDIT_01 This report illustrates the simplest case of using an editable/noneditable ALV Grid Control.
    BCALV_EDIT_02 This report illustrates how to set chosen cells of an ALV Grid Control editable.
    BCALV_EDIT_03 In this example the user may change values of fields SEATSOCC (occupied seats) and/or PLANETYPE.
    The report checks the input value(s) semantically and provides protocol messages in case of error
    BCALV_EDIT_04 This report illustrates how to add and remove lines to a table using the ALV Grid Control and how to
    implement the saving of the new data.
    BCALV_EDIT_05 This example shows how to use checkboxes within an ALV Grid Control. You learn:
         (1) how to define a column for editable checkboxes for an attribute of your list
         (2) how to evaluate the checked checkboxes
         (3) how to switch between editable and non-editable checkboxes
    BCALV_EDIT_06 This example shows how to define a dropdown listbox for all cells of one column in an editable ALV
    Grid Control.
    BCALV_EDIT_07 This example shows how to define dropdown listboxes for particular cells of your output table.
    BCALV_EDIT_08 This report implements an ALV Grid Control with an application specific F4 help. The following aspects
    are dealt with:
         (1) how to replace the standard f4 help
         (2) how to pass the selected value to the ALV Grid Control

  • Which is the default consolefont for en_US?

    Hi,
    I changed the locale in /etc/rc.conf from en_US to en_US.utf8, but now the consolefont is changed to LatArCyrHeb-16.
    I would like to use the default for en_US though, since it seems to be the only font which handles graphics in make menuconfig or mc correct.
    Can anyone tell me which is the default consolefont for the framebuffer? I want the default for en_US back
    thanks,
    baze

    I left it empty, which loads the default consolefont for locale en_US, but when I use en_US.utf8 LatArCyrHeb-16 is loaded. (with consolefont being empty)

  • Which is the better iTouch size?

    New here and I'm trying to decide which iTouch to buy my wife.  I have been going back in forth between the 32GB http://amzn.to/wgM5BX and the 64GB http://amzn.to/zzTs2U
    She listens to books and music and I image will get into a few games and apps.  She will also probably want to have some pictures of our kids on there too.  I usually thought you should buy the bigger size to future proof the purchase, but now I hear you can stream your music and other stuff, so maybe the hard disk size isn't as relevant.  Can anyone give me some feedback on what size to get a medium user of an itouch?  Am I making a mistake and should I be looking at the 8GB?

    Personally I think that 6gb is too small even for a medium user which is the available memory for the 8gb ipod touch. When it comes to memory the bigger the better, lol. I would suggest the 32gb model. 6 gigs won't be enough for music, games and apps. Think also about her music collection, 1,000 songs at 128kbps take about 3-4 gigs of memory and the majority of games use about 100mb of memory. If you are planning on streaming the content then you can get the 8gb version but then that will limit the music playing to just your home or if you go to someone's home you will only have access to their music library.
