Why SAP ERP is Better than ORACLE ERP?????

Hi expert I need some help about the comparison study between SAP and Oracle.
One of our WOOD plantation Client have some confusion between two ERP packages.Oracle have approached them . So how can we convince them to do SAP ERP. If you have some ppt or any material please send it to me . Its urgent.
Another thing that how SAP FI is better than Oracle FI for any Wood Plantation Company.
If you gyes have any win story over Wood Plantation company then please give it to me.
Thnaks Experts for your kind Considuration

Dear Pratik,
You can find the points for your presentation from the link:
http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid41_gci1173173,00.html#
Well, you need to convince your client that ERP is not all about cost of implementation. There are many other areas that you need to look at - availabilty of trained staff - complexity of business processes - does your existing data/processes map into one better than the other - are you happy going Oracle Oracle or would you prefer SAP with some other database.
You can add that the majority of transactions in vanilla Oracle are more difficult than in SAP. SAP can be configured to support most of the business processes without coding.
Let me know in case of any specific queries.

Why A is better than B/G for Voice over WLAN

Hello all,
Now this post has some questions and statements in that you guys know all about and would like your valued advise and corrections/confirmations on the points.
Why A is better than B/G for voice:
B/G is congested, ie BT, Microwaves. Lots of other WLANs etc etc etc - FACT!
More non-overlapping channels - FACT!
The scatter and reflection on A is better than B/G. The idea being, the higher the frequency, the better the scatter. Would this be correct?
Higher frequencies produce better penetration results through walls, I have read. Or is it worse. Cisco say worse in the document "2.4 GHz waveform of 802.11b and 802.11g can pass through many walls. The 5 GHz waveform of 802.11a has approximately half the tendency for a given power to transmit suitable amounts of energy through walls because of its higher frequency" Ref: enterprise mobility guide. I am a little confused on this ?
A travels thru water and other moisture better than B/G, thus damp walls, wet walls, open areas (lets say between two buildings) would handle A better than B/G?
The Fresnel Zone (clearance required of an obstacle without degrading signal) is better on the A band due to a small wavelength size. Would this be a major factor for an RF design engineer? Any more technical "dummies guide" to this subject would be good?
OFDM handles signalling shortcomings like multipath fade better that previous modulations techniques (I know that G 11Mbps and above uses this also). Anyone have an English explanation to why this is? Also, please look at the graphic attached that shows the enterprise mobility guide in chaper 3, the table. What is the difference between the modulation and transmission type as many people refer to DSSS and OFDM as "modulation" I am a little confuse by this table.
Can anyone give me any more reasons and facts, and clarify any of the points above so when someone comes to me and says, "ahh, just roll out voice on B/G" I can say well this is why not?
Many thx indeed,
Ken

You have some good questions. The main reason why people are moving voice to 802.11a is the fact that there is more congestion in the 2.4GhZ spectrum. For example in a downtown area building. There are so many wifi devices out in the 2.4Ghz along with all the other interference that you get on that spectrum. 802.11a, the 5Ghz is a shorter wavelength, so the more it is susceptible to attenuation. The lower the frequency the better the signal can travel through various materials. Look at cell phones.... they are in the 800mhz or lower spectrum and they have greater distances than higher frequencies. Another reason is that if you have guest access, you have to look at devices you need supported. There might be legacy 802.11b clients or newer clients that only support 802.11b or 802.11g. So now the 5Ghz is open which give you more bandwidth for voice.
Water is an RF killer no matter if you use 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

Why Annyconecct is better than vpn client ?

why anyconnect is better than cisco vpn client ?
what is its advangatges ?
i think that both are remoteaccess vpn .
why its better ?

The other thing is that, Cisco does not support traditional VPN on Windows 8.X. I have run in to lots of issues trying to install Cisco VPN client on Windows 8.x clients.. it sometimes work and sometimes it needs registry hacks etc.. really painful setup for the network engineer. So Anyconnect is preffered.
Also, since SSL uses port 443/SSL by default, it does not need any ALG (Application Layer Gateway) functionality in remote end user's routers to operate, and will simply work with normal PAT which is always on.. with traditional IPSec VPN, since it uses ESP, you need to have AGL turned on on the user's GW router (this is normally called IPSec VPN pass through mode) and this sometimes doesn't work the way you want specially on the older residential routers. When this happens you really don't have any other option for those users.. and your only response would be "Sorry your router does not support this kind of VPN or your router does something strange with the VPN so Please upgrade your router" which is something the normal residential user don't want to hear.. and something you want to tell them..
So SSL VPN is the way to go..
please rate helpful posts :)

Why VPC is better than VSS?

virtual port channel
why VPC is better than VSS?
any thing about VSS is better than VPC? if so, when to use VSS?

for example, if have N7K, use VPC.
Well yes because you can't use VSS with Nexus.
how to think in terms of design?
Don't really know what you are asking.
As for the arp question it seems completely unrelated to what you originally asked.
Try and focus on one question at a time and try and be clearer in what you are asking.

Why is mac better than pc?

Hi guys.
I'm doing a speech on why macs are better than pcs and have to come up with two college-level citations to support the point. Would you guys be able to help me with that? All I need is some data that can help me support the point.
Thank you !

Funny ... as my wife worked on her masters a couple years ago, Cal State Fullerton would not allow ANY citations from the Internet.
But here's some background info for you ...
http://www.apple.com/mac/
You say you're a new MacBook Pro user ... What do YOU think about your new Mac?
I was a Windows devotee for about 20 years. Until my wife brought home a co-worker's 17" MBP for me to play with. And I turned it on and played with it. And played with it. Realized it was about 3am the next morning - it was so enjoyably engrossing. I ordered my own that very day, and haven't looked back for a moment. Like excellent shoes that you can FEEL make a difference in your posture and spinal health, switching to a Mac was darned near a religious experience for me.
And I am not alone ... (grin)
Good luck with your research.

Why is illustrator better than corel?

hello forumers.
im an illustrator freak,but my annoying boss wants me to learn corel ;-( ,i need some facts why illustrator is better than corel so i can shove his face in it if possible.
VIVA illi
thank you very much.

Do not, I repeat do not, ask James or Scott or Hans.
Indeed.
Only ask Jacob, who is still using a four-version out-of-date copy of Illustrator and who tries to personify it as a female idol.
If the comparison is to be "fair" (which it clearly will not be, at least from your perspective), it should compare Corel Draw X4 to Illustrator CS3 or CS4. Release dates being what they were, X4 would more legitimately be considered Draw's answer to CS3; since it long predates CS4.
Talking about earlier versions of either program is not very meaningful, except in the sense of history of development. When I compare the release histories of Draw, FreeHand, Canvas, and Illustrator, Illustrator comes in an often-embarrassing last in terms of features long taken-for-granted in other programs.
im an illustrator freak,but my annoying boss wants me to learn corel...i need some facts [that] I can shove his face..
Shove in your boss's face? For presenting you an opportunity to escape fearful dependency upon a single software?
i need the pros and cons...to outline to him why illustrator is better...
Why don't you simply welcome this opportunity to actually know something about that which you claim a completely bogus "preference"?
Were you at all interested in gaining input that would help you help your boss reach a rational and objective decision, you would at least describe something about the kind of work your boss pays you to do. What kind of business employs you? Is the Macintosh platform even relevant to your boss's business market? How large a workgroup is affected by the software choice? What kind of artwork does that workgroup produce? How is it delivered? What are its initial content sources? Who are the end-users of the artwork? In how many different ways is it delivered, and in what formats?
Yet here you are, soliciting predisposed "why Illustrator is 'better' than Draw" advice from a handful of users who, so far, admit themselves having either no, or practically no, experience with Draw! If that's not blind-leading-the-blind, I don't know what is.
You are by admission predisposed toward Illustrator, even though you are not at all equipped to say why. Reason is pointless with so irrational a mindset. Since no one responding yet seems to actually know anything about Draw, I will instead offer some ammunition I hope your boss uses to see if you are even objective enough to consider it.
The following is a just-off-the-top list. Should you actually try to counter it, you should be prepared for more:
General:
Lower cost, both initially and in upgrades
Better support for non-current versions
Faster performance
Better support for several vertical-market industries (signage, embroidery, engineering-related)
More robust CAD and more business-centric import/export formats
Better multiple page implementation
Better-organized interface
Highly-customizable workspace
Features:
User-defined drawing scales
Reliable snaps
Dimension tools
Callout tools
Connector lines
Flowchart Tools
No-nonsense, 2D vector face extrusion
Live shape primitives
Smart Drawing tools (freehand shape recognition)
Virtual Segment tool
Ability to properly cut/crop vector and raster content
Contour tool (multiple parallels)
Export selection only
Barcodes
Print Merge
Bundle for Output Bureau
Scan directly into Draw
Trim (not merely mask) vector artwork to any path
Fit Text To Path
Text stats
Export artwork as Type 1 font.
Lens Fills (live details)
Live Perspective
Object Data (spreadsheet-formatted database of user-defined object data fields)
Fillet / Chamfer / Scallop
User-defined Arrowheads
Shared Features Better Implemented in Draw:
Mesh Grads
Dynamic Guides (with increment snaps)
Independent control over Snaps for Guides, Grid, Objects, Dynamic Grids
Property Bar (far more sensible and useable than AI's poorly-designed and buggy Control Panel)
Status Bar with context-sensitive instructions
Elastic Mode (vs. AI's Reshape tool)
Add/remove/line/curve/cusp/symmetrical curve commands properly implemented for all nodes (points) in a selected path
Logarithmic and Symmetrical spirals
Macro Recording (vs. AI Actions)
Envelopes (retract envelope handles without wrecking artwork)
Old-Saw Arguements Based on Overstatement, if not Myths:
Adobe's cross-app "integration" is more hype than substantive advantage.
Illustrator's text handing is worst among Adobe apps and worst-of-class among its direct competitors.
Draw opens and creates PDFs just fine.
Claims of AI superiority regarding importing of raster images is practically immaterial. In fact, Corel Draw's interaction with Corel PhotoPaint is at least as "smooth and seamless" as AI/PS, if not more so.
Using vector artwork created in Draw (or any other mainstream Bezier drawing program) in page-layout programs is no more difficult than using AI. This stuff has been being done for decades.
Again, this is just a beginning. You do yourself a huge disservice by declaring (let alone attempting to defend) a "preference" to the only choice with which you have experience (and evidently only beginning experience at that). That's true regardless of which program you claim to "favor." How can one, with any trace of intellectual honesty, claim to have a "favorite" of anything--when one has no exposure to any of the considered alternatives?
Since you already have Illustrator, you should absolutely welcome your Boss's willingness to provide you a current copy of Corel Draw. Here's an opportunity for you--at no personal cost--to actually learn something about another program; to potentially have some clue as to what you're talking about when you claim to "prefer" one over the other; to benefit from knowing more than one particular tool, and to overcome the fear of learning your way around more than one offering among similar programs. For all you know, you may be arguing against the program you would actually end up preferring.
I could also build a bullet list of better-than-Draw AI features. It would not be as long as its opposite. Nor would the AI-favoring listings be as broadly practical.
Fact is, anyone can build a bullet list to favor any of them. (Just look at the sides of the boxes, or each vendor's self-serving "competitive comparisons" on their respective websites.) Fact is, all of them are really rather mediocre; mostly 20+ years-old technology.
You really should have no axe to grind in this, unless you can state something specific to your work that strongly favors the relatively few functional advantages of AI.

Is SAP BI better than SAP BODS?

Is SAP BI better than SAP BODS?

Both are good modules.
BI have modelling, extraction, reporting as a process whereas BODS is a media to send data from SAP to third parties with its modelling.
We can send data from BI to other parties using BODS.
So no comparison between data association (BI) and transferring that data (BODS).
I can say BODS is easy to learn whereas BI has much scope for future.

Why does a DVI or VGA look better than HDMI for 2nd Monitor

Why does a DVI or VGA connection for a program monitor look better than HDMI. I've tested this on several systems with CS5x and CS6. The full screen output from premiere definitely looks worse with HDMI.
I can often see visual differences with the Windows GUI as well, over sharpening of text and lines, harsh rendering of gradients. It looks like a VGA signal displayed on a television.
I've looked at the NVidia stetting and it appears to be set to 1920x1080 at 60hz either way, DVI or HDMI. On one Acer 20 inch monitor the was VGA, HDMI, Composite, Component, and Digital Tuner, but no DVI. The program monitor has always looked blah from the HDMI. So I recently switched the connection to a DVI to VGA adaptor, and now the video looks so much better.
Any thoughts or explanations?

Just because the monitors accept a 1080P signal doesn't mean their native resolution is 1920x1080. At 20 inch they very likely can scale that signal down to the native resolution of the panel which may be 1600 x 900 or another resolution that is 16 x 9 resolution. That scaling can be done by the GPU or firmware on the Monitor depending on the video driver options and the firmware options. That scaling is also the most common cause to text and icon blurriness you are talking about. As an example there are Pro monitors that accept a 4K signal but scale it down to 2.5K or 2K on the actual panel. You might try going into your video card settings such as Nvidia control panel and look for the scaling options. Select GPU scaling and see if the preview is better. If that doesn't work select no scaling and see if it's better if the monitor firmware handles the scaling.

Newbie-why is Indesign better than PageMaker?

Ok, I know to be current, I have to upgrade, but I don't do long documents (really past 20 pages), I liked the window shade thing in PM7, and I'm afraid those windows for everything is going to make me confused and is more time consuming...
So even tho' I have the upgrade--list your top five reasons for liking it better than pagemaker?
Thanks for your help.

Even though I do have old version of PM and Ventura, I am really liking InDesign. I have been using it since CS3 came out. It is much more fluid like when designing. It is possible to not use tags(style sheets), but I recommend using styles anyway. I haven't really been using the program long enough to have a need for using character styles, but the paragraph styles are extremely handy, as well as the object styles. But then again my needs for the program are mild compared to most that roam this forum.
One of the things that I did notice missing is the ability to switch between reader spread and printer's spread. But it is possible to manually move each page by dragging and dropping.
I think the TOC is a little more interactive it's not as intimidating to a new user as Ventura's was. I have yet to try the index feature, but I am sure it is much more user friendly as well.
Good luck...

Why is Java better than c#. most people say c# is better

I have entered forums and end up seeing informations on c# being better than java. Pls can any body tell me what makes java better than c#. This days every one i know is now going c#. They are discoraging me to also go c#.
i am quite con fussed. The only thing that keeps me to JAVA is platform independence.

Well, I suppose you can search Google for 'C# vs java' and read an article such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C_Sharp.
However arguing which is better is best left as an exercise for developers with a lot of experience in both languages rather than those just starting out (If your just starting out, you will not use the advanced features one has over the other).
I think the market will be evenly split between both languages for quite some time. Ideally, as a professional developer you should know both well so you are more employable. For Java, I suggest getting familiar with The Eclipse IDE since its used by the bulk of Java developers. For C#, I suggest you install Visual Studio Express because its used by the bulk of C# developers (and the express version is free).
I suggest you first learn one or the other very very well and good coding practices before learning the other language to avoid mixing the two somewhat different coding styles.
I suggest learning whichever language your friends are using assuming you communicate with them about programming often (so you can help each other). If instead your on your own, I suggest you learn Java. I think you will have an easier time picking up the Object Oriented philosophy than C# because in my opinion Java is more low level coding and C# is more high level coding (ie, the advanced features it can do a lot for you). You should have a good handle on the low level concepts first. In may opinion, once you know Java well, C# is a lot easier to pick up since they are both object oriented and are very similar object oriented languages.

Why SAP force GR non valuated for invoicing plan?

Hi Xperts,
Need some clarification of why SAP will force for GR non valuated when invoicing plan is chosen. Is there any BADI or user exit to make GR valuated for invoicing plan?
Thanks.

Thanks Priyanka,
But this "special" scenario is different, where there is a GR to be performed (physically and in system) and the business still need the physical invoice from the vendor before they perform the LIV/MRIS. And the invoice is a milestone invoice (partial invoicing plan (%)).
Example:
PO : Qty = 10 ; price = $10 ;
        invoicing plan :
                              01.01.09   50%    $50
                              01.02.09   40%    $40
                              01.03.09   10%    $10
GR : Qty = 6 ($60)
        Debit    Expenses   $60
        Credit   GR/IR         $60
LIV = 50% ($50- Qty 5)
         Debit   GR/IR         $50
         Credit Vendor        $50
Conclusion is during GR, it can be any quantity but during LIV/MRIS, system will read the invoicing plan schedule.
I also believe (i've tried looking all BAdi exist in purchasing) that there is no user exit or BADI to make the GR valuated for invoicing plan.
Really need feedback from all other experts.
Thanks again.

Is rank() really better than rownum for top-n-queries?

Several sources say that for Oracle databases rank() should be used instead of 'rownum <= n' for top-n-queries. But here we have an application, where we a lot of top-n queries are executed on a big table with several million rows and rank() has a quite bad performance. I get much better results when I use a query with rownum <= n but the programmer of the application doesn't want to change it in the software because of those articles about rank() and rownum. I wonder, whether it is possible, to find a better form of the rank()-query or an additional index, that gives me the same performance.
To explain my case I created the following example (if you try it, be aware that depending on the size of your dba_objects view you might need up to half a gig free space in your tablespace for this example).
create table big_objects
as
select
ascii(m.alpha)*100000+o.object_id object_id,
o.owner owner,
o.object_type,
m.alpha||'_'||o.object_name object_name,
sysdate-400+mod(100*object_id+99*ascii(m.alpha),365)+24/(o.object_id+ascii(m.alpha)) created,
o.status
from
(select distinct
upper(substr(object_name,1,1)) alpha
from
sys.dba_objects
where
upper(substr(object_name,1,1)) between 'A' and 'Z') m,
sys.dba_objects o
order by
object_name;
create index bigindex_1 on big_objects (owner, object_type, created);
analyze table big_objects compute statistics;
So my table looks a bit like dba_objects but with much more rows and I made a synthetic "created" date which is more similar to my real case, where top-n means a date selection of the newest records from a certain type.
Here is the size of the segments on an nearly empty 11gR2 database:
select segment_name, bytes, blocks from sys.dba_segments where segment_name like 'BIG%'
SEGMENT_NAME BYTES BLOCKS
BIGINDEX_1 75497472 9216
BIG_OBJECTS 142606336 17408
On my database the example table has approx. 1,9 Mio rows:
select count(*) from big_objects;
COUNT(*)
1884246
and some 1,4% of those rows have owner = 'SYS' and object_type = 'INDEX'
select
count(*)
from big_objects
where owner = 'SYS'
and object_type = 'INDEX';
COUNT(*)
25896
But I want to find only the 10 newest indexes for the owner SYS. I think the typical rank() approach would be:
select
owner,
object_type,
object_name,
object_id,
status,
created
from
( select
owner,
object_type,
object_name,
object_id,
status,
created,
rank() over (order by created desc) rnk
from
big_objects
where
owner = 'SYS'
and object_type = 'INDEX')
where rnk <= 10
order by created asc;

In my following example with a "rownum <= 10" all three columns of the index are used and the number of block gets is much, much smaller than in the rank() example.

I made this comparison with the Oracle versions 10.2 and 11.2 and the result was more or less the same. How can I change the rank() query in a way that only the small number of really needed blocks are read from the database?

this was exactly the hint, I was looking for. Generally speaking hints are not the preferred way to go to tune queries. They can have nasty side-effects when data changes.
Now the rank()-query is similar fast and much better to read than my fast one with three nested SELECTs.
Your rownum query was needlessly complicated, and could be simplified to:
select owner, object_type, object_name, object_id, status, created
from (select owner, object_type, created
      from big_objects
      where owner = 'SYS' and
            object_type = 'INDEX'
      order by created desc)
where rownum <= 10
order by created ascand very likely get the same speed.
One more question. How did you format those sql queries and results. When I copy/paste them into the editor of forums.oracle.com the format allways gets lost.To preserve formatting use {noformat}{noformat} before and after the section you want ot keep formatted. In general, if you want to see how someone generated an effect, reply to the post and hit the quote original icon. You will see all the formatting codes used in the original.
