Therefore, we cannot survive without computer. If any person wants to move in the society without difficulty, he has to keep at least one computer at home and office as well. Unluckily, many people cannot afford it so far. They cannot bear the prices of a good condition computer. However, they can find very cheap desktop computers.
One decade before, it had too much expensive. Only affluent people could get it and manage it. Now, promisingly, computer is achievable for every one. The advancement of technology is the basic reason. Thus, computer's prices significantly are going down. Since, computer-processing power is tending every two or three years. With it, economical balance is demanding a delicate stability. Consequently, more order - extra supply is the main reason of lower prices. For this reason, computer prices are decreasing day by day. Accordingly, every person can get cheap desktop computers very easily.
We can get a computer very reasonable price from repair stores. These second hand computers have very good strength. We can make it more useful after the some changes. When we buy a second hand computer, we should be careful. First, we should check it very cautiously then we buy it. Although, the new cheap desktop computers are available in the markets, getting the good quality cheap desktop computer is a difficult task. We should aware about the desktop computer's hardware. Therefore, we have to know about the RAM, hardware, operating system etc. After that, we can purchase a top quality desktop computer.
Moreover, cheap desktop computers are not handy. We cannot hold and move it easily. Nevertheless, it is ideal for home. Because, cheap desktop computers not only do work on small project but also cheap desktop computers give a very better look to the room.
Furthermore, if any one wants to get quit new cheap desktop computer, he should get contact only some manufacture companies. These manufacture companies are trustable for instance, HP, DELL, etc. Hence, many people are making computer themselves and give any name to there computers. Therefore, if we need to buy cheap desktop computers, we should go towards only trust worthy names. These companies can supply us very reliable high-speed cheap desktop computers.
Most cheap desktop computers have fully equipped with a LAN card, optical device, RAM, hard drive, an operating system and a motherboard. Usually, windows XP are used in the cheap desktop computers.
Therefore, these cheap desktop computers can carry out different task. We can solve many problems and get benefits by them. We can run a lot of software on it. No doubt, these softwares can make speed very slow. Heavy software makes speed slow. Then, we should choose light software. Light software can provide the similar job. So, we should ignore the heavy software. For instance, heavy games, video editing and graphics design and choose the light software.

Network Interfaces and Ports - Is There Any Difference?

 By Barry Burdette 

Photo: i.dell.com
 
Over the long course of my career I have heard many of my colleagues refer to these two terms interchangeably, although this is actually not true and may cost you a wrong answer on an exam such as Cisco's CCNA or CCNP which could make the difference between you passing the exam or not. Let us take a look at the differences in these two terms.

Ports:
The Port resides at layer 1 of the OSI model, the Physical layer. This layer defines the electrical and physical specifications for a device, such as copper or fiber media as well as the voltages, line impedance, signal timing, and the physical layout of pins for the connecting device such as twisted pairs, coaxial or in the case of fiber cable single mode or multi-mode.

Interfaces:
The Interface resides at layer 2 of the OSI model, the Data Link layer. This layer defines the functional and procedural method of transferring data between network devices, such as Serial, Ethernet, FDDI, and Token-Ring. Additionally this layer may provide the ability to detect and maybe correct errors that might occur at the physical layer.

Virtual Interfaces:
There are a number of interfaces that have no physical connection to any device such as Loopbacks, Lines, and VLANs. These interfaces are referred to as virtual interfaces, and although these interfaces have no physical connection they can still be addressed and accessed by other devices in a network. Interfaces such as Loopback interfaces are very useful in insuring devices are reachable with many routing protocols.

Sub interfaces are another form of virtual interface and are used in WAN connections like Frame-Relay, and VLAN Trunks between routers and switches when creating a router on a stick to route between VLANs or deploying DHCP addressing for multiple VLANs.

In conclusion the line between Ports and Interfaces may be blurry, and in the real world the two terms may be used interchangeably but there is a difference and you need to understand the difference not only to pass an exam, but to help you properly configure network interfaces on Cisco routing and switch equipment and help you troubleshoot some complex networking issues. A good way to remember this is you use some form of media to physically connect a network port to another network device port and you configure a network interface with some form of protocol to allow communication between network devices on a LAN or WAN.

Computer Care, Can I Do It Myself?

Author: The Computer Psychic

Photo: 1.bp.blogspot.com
 
With all of the resources available to you, you may well ask yourself, "Why do I need a computer expert to maintain my computer?" The short answer is, you don't. Just like you don't need a technician to fix your car, repair your furnace, or do any other maintenance or repairs. If you have the knowledge and the time, you can easily repair and maintain your own computer.

But be warned, there are several potential "gotchas" involved in maintaining your own computer. If you decide to repair your own automobile, a company won't sell you a carburetor what will break your car. Unfortunately, that's not true of computer maintenance. There are many programs out there that either don't do what they purport to do, perform unnecessary functions, or are just plain dangerous to install. It's up to you, the computer maintenance technician, to determine what programs you can safely use in what manner.

In this article, we'll discuss some of the programs out there and what the do-it-yourselfer needs to watch out for.

Registry Cleaners Websites such as Finally Fast.com and Double My Speed.com have been promoting themselves heavily of late. These (and other) sites offer products to download and install that purport to improve your computer's performance. These programs are mostly registry cleaners. The Windows registry is simply a database that the operating system uses to store everything it needs to know to run as per your specifications. In addition, it's available to any other program to write their information in there as well. Since Windows 95, the registry has been the recommended repository for user preferences, settings, and any other variables a program has to remember.

Over time the Windows registry will become cluttered with unneeded information, most frequently caused by uninstallation programs not removing all of the data they should. The concept of a registry cleaner is that it will detect and remove these orphan settings, frequently improving computer performance.

The problem with registry cleaners is that they will often incorrectly detect a setting as unneeded and delete it, causing problems with either installed programs or the Windows operating system itself. Registry cleaners are good, but you should never blindly take their advice as to what to delete. You should always review each entry to verify that it can be deleted safely.
And keep in mind there are freeware applications that do an excellent job of cleaning your Windows registry. Ccleaner is the one recommended by The Computer Psychic. (Go to Google and search for ccleaner.)

Anti-Malware Applications Malware (spyware and virus) cleanup and prevention is one of the most important aspects of computer maintenance. If you catch a virus on your system, you leave yourself open to all sorts of mischief - including having files deleted, getting your address book scammed and spam e-mails being sent in your name, and even having your credit card and banking information stolen! Spyware can be just as bad - it typically "watches" what you do on your computer, down to even logging keystrokes, and thus stealing your passwords. In addition to these problems, spyware and viruses are often poorly written, causing performance problems in your system.
There are dozens of applications on the market that claim to remove malware from your system. And many of them do a good job. But here's the rub - many programs that present themselves as anti-virus or anti-spyware are, themselves, viruses and spyware! The Computer Psychic has seen all too many systems where the owner has - with the best of intentions - installed an anti-malware app into their system, only to see the floodgates opened; they find themselves with more popup ads and performance problems than they've ever seen before.

So how do you make sure you don't install one of these #$%& programs? First of all, if you get a pop-up message telling you that your computer is infected with viruses and click here to download a virus cleaner, don't do it! Without exception, these programs are scams. Downloading one of these apps will introduce your system to more viruses than you thought existed. In fact, when you see this window, you'll be presented with an OK and Cancel button. Don't click either one! If you click Cancel, it will still install a virus. Instead, click on the little X in the upper right-hand corner to close the window.

Secondly, if you use a search engine looking for anti-malware programs, be careful what links you follow. Malware creators will name their applications very similar to - or even exactly the same as - legitimate programs, hoping to confuse you into downloading theirs instead of the good one. For example, if you wanted to download Spybot Search and Destroy (an excellent anti-spyware program) and searched for it in Yahoo, the very first result you'll find purports itself to be Spybot. Clicking their link takes you to a page that says it's Spybot Search and Destroy, but is actually an application that acts as a gateway to allow viruses into your system.

So, again, you need to take the time to learn what is and what isn't safe to install. The Computer Psychic has a very easy recommendation. Microsoft has a vested interest in keeping your computer malware-free. If they do a good job of preventing viruses from getting into your system, then that's one less thing that Apple can beat them up over. Towards that end, in September of 2009, Microsoft released an excellent free anti-malware program named Microsoft Security Essentials (www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials). In the past, The Computer Psychic has recommended against all-in-one solutions, arguing that no one application can catch everything. But Microsoft Security Essentials is just that good. It does as good a job as - or better than - any other application, or combination of apps, in blocking any type of spyware or virus.

Startup Monitors While not as popular as the other system maintenance programs, proper use of a startup monitor can dramatically speed up your computer. A startup monitor will tell you just what programs, drivers and processes load when you start your computer.
When you boot up your computer, the operating system will also auto-start many other components - possibly a fax application, printer elements, video or mouse drivers, to name a few. These are good - they are essential for the proper operation of your computer. However, many applications add themselves to the auto-run settings for their own convenience - not yours.

For example, programs such as Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office will tell the operating system to pre-load some of their components as Windows starts up. This allows their software to open more quickly when needed. The downside of this is, even if you aren't actively using their software, your computer is using memory running those components. Better to not pre-load those components; let the software take a second or two longer to load, and speed up your entire system.
Another popular use for the startup is for auto-update programs. These apps will periodically check the internet looking for updates. If one is found, the program will present you with a window telling you an update is available. Not only do these apps consume computer resources, they can be an annoyance.

In order to easily prevent unwanted software from running automatically, The Computer Psychic recommends a Microsoft application called AutoRuns (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx). Using Autoruns you can decide just what apps you want to run when starting your computer. Once again, though, don't blindly turn of all apps. Make sure you know what you're disabling.

Summary
As you can see, using the tools recommended in this article makes it quite possible for anyone to maintain their computer's health. But as with anything technical, make sure you know what you're doing before just tinkering away.

How to Avoid Viruses From Attacking Your Computer

 By Jeremy P Stanfords 

Photo: popularmechanics.com
 
Every day, people use their computers to complete a number of functions. In fact, it seems that many spend more time behind the computer screen, and use their machines to complete a majority of their tasks, either business- or leisure-related. However, with the increased activity, one thing you have to consider is how secure your computer is. One wrong click could wipe out the hard drive if you download a virus or spyware. The virus removal process could get tricky, if not expensive. A few simple steps could keep you from having to endure a costly computer recovery process.

Proper Software

One of the best ways to keep your machine secure is with proper antivirus software. These programs not only shield the system against an attack, but they also scope out potentially dangerous sites that could cause irreversible damage. Nowadays, many free programs provide just as much security as ones you can purchase in the store. However, for businesses that use a network, purchasing software is probably the better option. Otherwise, downloading free software provides many benefits, as well as protection.

Computer Recovery

If your issues are more severe, i.e. a hard drive crash, you may have to consult a professional. A PC repair shop can assist you with cleaning up any extensive problems. In some cases, you can even have someone diagnose the issue without having to leave your home. Some PC repair shops offer online support where you log in to a site, and go from there. If Internet access is unavailable, you may have to take your machine to the shop or have somebody come to you.

Watch What You Click

Another easy way to avoid falling prey to malware is to simply watch what links you click. While software exists to detect rogue sites, some may slip below the radar. Not every site contains material that damages your computer; some actually go after banking information or even personal sites. One popular method involves social media profiles, where clicking a suspect link posted by a friend results in similar information being posted to your profile repeatedly.

One way to stop the latter from happening is by changing your password on a regular basis, i.e. once every six months. In addition, be sure to choose secure passwords, one featuring letters and numbers, as well as special characters like punctuation marks or capital letters. You do not want to use any common information such as your address or name, as it is very easy for hackers to guess.

How to Configure an Authoritative Time Server in Windows Server 2008

Author: Richard n Williams

Photo: winbeta.org

Time synchronisation in modern computer networks is essential, all computers need to know the time as many applications, from sending an email to storing information are reliant on the PC knowing when the event took place.

Microsoft Windows Server from 2000 onwards has a time synchronisation utility built into the operating system called Windows Time (w32time.exe) which can be configured to operate as a network time server.

Windows Server 2008 can easily set the system clock to use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the World's time standard) by accessing an Internet source (either: time.windows.com or time.nist.gov).

To achieve this, a user merely has to double click the clock on their desktop and adjust the settings in the Internet Time tab.

It must be noted however, that Microsoft and other operating system manufacturers strongly advise that external timing references should be used as Internet sources can't be authenticated.

To configure the Windows Time service to use an external time source, click Start, Run and type regedit then click OK.

Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type
In the right pane, right-click Type then click Modify, in edit Value type NTP in the Value data box then click OK.

Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\AnnounceFlags.
In the right pane, right-click AnnounceFlags and click Modify. The ‘AnnounceFlags' registry entry indicates whether the server is a trusted time reference, 5 indicates a trusted source so in the Edit DWORD Value box, under Value Data, type 5, then click OK.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an Internet protocol used for the transfer of accurate time, providing time information along so that a precise time can be obtained
To enable the Network Time Protocol; NTPserver, locate and click:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer\
In the right pane, right-click Enabled, then click Modify.

In the Edit DWord Value box, type 1 under Value data, then click OK.

Now go back and click on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer
In the right pane, right-click NtpServer, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value under Value Data type In the right pane, right-click NtpServer, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value under Value Data type the Domain Name System (DNS), each DNS must be unique and you must append 0x1 to the end of each DNS name otherwise changes will not take effect.

Now click Ok.

Locate and click the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient\SpecialPollInterval
In the right pane, right-click SpecialPollInterval, then click Modify.

In the Edit DWORD Value box, under Value Data, type the number of seconds you want for each poll, ie 900 will poll every 15 minutes, then click OK.
To configure the time correction settings, locate:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\config
In the right pane, right-click MaxPosPhaseCorrection, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value box, under Base, click Decimal, under Value Data, type a time in seconds such as 3600 (an hour) then click OK.
Now go back and click:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\config
In the right pane, right-click MaxNegPhaseCorrection, then Modify.

In the Edit DWORD box under base, click Decimal, under value data type the time in seconds you want to poll such as 3600 (polls in one hour)
Exit Registry Editor
Now, to restart windows time service, click Start, Run (or alternatively use the command prompt facility) and type:

net stop w32time && net start w32time
And that's it your time server should be now up and running.

Try Simple Fixes Before Getting Computer Tech Support

 By Darin McGilvra 

Photo: cdn.canadianfinanceblog.com
 
Have you recently gotten the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death?" You may not need to get computer tech support. Try some simple fixes first before looking for professional help. Even if they don't fix the problem, you can gain some valuable information that will help speed up the process of fixing your computer when you do get computer tech support.

When you do get the blue screen, write down the error message that tells you what the problem is. These messages can be cryptic and confusing, but it may prove helpful for diagnosing the problem. Just as important, you will want to make sure the next time you get the blue screen that it is because of the same problem.

With most problems with a computer, you should try restarting it. The problem may have happened on start-up. Restarting the computer could fix the error. If the blue screen does reappear, make sure it is the same error message you had received before.

Once the computer has gone through the start-up process, see if you can reproduce the blue screen. Try to remember exactly what you were doing when the blue screen popped up. Go into the same software you were working on. If you get the blue screen every time you work in a certain software, especially one that you recently installed or updated, it's a good bet the problem is in the software.
If it is a software problem, try running the software on a different computer. If you still get the blue screen, then the problem is in the software. If not, then the problem is compatibility between the software and the original computer.

Try uninstalling the software to get rid of the blue screen problem. Most software comes with an uninstall program, or you can go into the uninstall program on a Windows computer in the Control Panel.

If you are unable to uninstall the software, you may try using a System Restore on a computer with Windows XP or newer. This also can be done through the Control Panel. This will erase anything done to the computer after the date of the System Restore.

If it does not appear to be a software problem, you may try investigating the error message you keep receiving. Paste the message into a search engine and see what results pop up. If other people have received this error message, they may have figured out the problem and posted this problem, and possibly a solution, online.

If you're still stuck, you might check to see if you have a virus or some other type of malware. Run an antivirus program on your computer and fix any problems that are found, if possible.
The problem could even be a hardware issue. Check air vents to see if fans are running properly and that vents are clear of dust and debris. If you feel confident about it, you could even shut down the computer, open up the case, and turn on the computer to see if all the fans are running.

If your problem persists, it would be a good idea to contact a trusted computer tech support company. Fortunately, you'll be armed with information to help the tech diagnose your problem.

How to Start a Website for Your Small Business

 By Frederic Sune 

Photo: 1.bp.blogspot.com
 
These days, a business just isn't a business without a website. Customers have grown to expect the convenience of online access, even in industries where a web presence doesn't immediately seem necessary. Hair cutters, farmers, electricians - even mom-and-pop institutions need websites!
The good news is that, as websites have become more necessary, they have also become easier to create. This year, hundreds of thousands of websites will be created, many of them by the entrepreneurs themselves. In the past, web developers were a necessity in a world of HTML and PHP (web coding languages), but these days anybody can create a website. And you can too!
The first step is probably the most difficult, but you don't need a computer to do it! The first thing you need to do is to think about what your website should look like. Before you spend a lot of time constructing the face of your business, you should probably decide what your website's function will be.

Once you've determined what your website does, it's time to try to figure out a simple way to design your site to meet those requirements.
Let's think of a concrete example. Let's say we run a business that delivers fresh baked cookies to people all across Ottawa. What would you like our website to do? Well, a good function for a website like that might be to have a place where people can order our cookies from their computers or phones. That's a great purpose for our website, and I think people would appreciate not having to call to secure some of our delicious white chocolate macadamia treats.

Once you have the primary function (in our case, it's cookie ordering), you can structure the rest of the pages around it. In our example, let's make the main page the cookie order page, and make it so that other pages are accessible through the menu. We could have an "about" page where we talk about why we started the business. We could have a "location" page where people can find out where our store is. We could even have an "apply" page where people can try their hand at becoming cookie deliverers like us!

Now that we've figured out the basic operation of our website, it's time to start building! Don't worry! It's easier than it sounds, and if you make a mistake, no one will notice. Don't worry about buying a domain name for now (we'll cover that in a second). Instead, go straight to a website like WordPress or Blogger.

Once places for teenagers to create emotional personal blogs where they talked about how angry they were about their parents, blog creation websites have recently become one of the easiest and most powerful website creation avenues. WordPress is generally regarded to be the better of the two mentioned above, so try that one if you're just starting out.

WordPress lets you pick from a range of free themes, many of which are of a very high quality. If you don't find anything that works for your website for free, you have a couple options: pay for a premium theme, or modify a theme to better suit your needs.
Premium themes are available from places like Templatic. In some cases, you can even get a team of specialists to work on your design for you.

But if you want to go the free route, you're going to be in for a bit of a hard time. Modifying themes means learning a bit of coding (ew!). Think of it like renovating your kitchen. If you want to do it yourself, you're going to have to study some electrical charts (and probably take out life insurance). Remember, if you can find a free theme that works for you, just go with that!

You can learn some basic HTML at places like codecademy.com, or you can just plunge right in, stripping things out of the code behind the website until things work the way you want.
You might want to have a code-familiar friend on hand to help you. You know... just in case things get a little tense around the house.

Once you're done all of that, it's time to make it official. Start shopping for a host! My favourite is Servage, but other options, like Canada's Netfirms are also quite good. Find a pricing structure that works for you. For a small business, you're probably looking at an investment of about 50 bucks a year. That's nothing huge in the grand scheme of running a business. You'll probably spend more on cookie trays in a month!

Plus, we can help! We offer security and peace of mind, as well as content for your new website venture. Check out our Wordpress page for more info.

Configuring a New Laptop

 By Marco Carolla 

Photo: news.it.ufl.edu

There are a lot of things to consider when you are shopping for that laptop, the two most important specifications however are going to be your processor and your RAM. Here I am going to explain some of the fundamental features of both so you can make a better choice when buying a laptop for yourself.

PROCESSOR (CPU)
Intel the world's largest semi conductor maker has begun the process of transitioning into a quad core line of processors. Their range is branded as Core i3, i5 and i7. If you are hunting for a bargain then you could choose its older Core 2 models, but you would be better off sticking to its latest range.
You could also consider a processor from Intel rival AMD which has a compelling range of products branded as Turion II and Athlon II. If you are a budget shopper then these processes are well worth considering and will serve the purpose for most tasks. The big difference between processors made by AMD is they are simply not as fast as those made by Intel and they tend to act as a drain on battery life.

The most important task is working out exactly how much processing power you need. In general the Core i3 or i5 are suitable for most people. If however you do a lot of video editing then you are going to need a more powerful processor. Gamers in particular believe they need a powerful processor but in practice can actually get away with a slower chip.
Quad core chips still cost a lot and also tend to drain battery life quite quickly. You can identify a quad core chip by the Q denoted next to the machine's model number. If you use your laptop as your main machine, and not taking it out on the road, or you are a gamer or video editor, the quad chip case becomes more compelling.

The decision over processor gets trickier when you are ordering a custom laptop from a manufacturer. You should as a rule avoid the most expensive chipsets on offer and go for the second or third least costliest chips. The increase in price is usually proportional to performance. You should not spend more than $150 upgrading a processor. If you are simply surfing the internet or word processing, even a dual core processor is more than adequate.

MEMORY (RAM)
4GB RAM is the standard memory offered by most manufacturers even on low end laptops and that is really all you need. Starting prices for a laptop with 4GB RAM are just under $500. In the past manufacturers used to make consumers pay through the nose when they upgraded the memory whilst custom ordering. More recently, this practice seems to have changed, and only Apple really still does this.

If upgrading your memory to 4GB costs you less than $90, which is what it costs separately, then you should definitely upgrade. Upgrading beyond 4GB is going to be expensive, and the only real reason to do it is if you are video editing, and even then it's still not absolutely necessary when you compare it against the expense. For a desktop, spending an additional $100 is no big deal, but for a laptop where it is going to cost you an additional $300 for 8GB, it's simply not worth it unless your laptop is your primary video editing device.

Sap Data Warehousing Solution

by: Ron Victor

Photo: praxa.com.au
 
SAP BW is a continuous data warehousing solution that uses former SAP technologies. This SAP BW is built on the Basis of 3-tier architecture and coded in the ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) language. This 3-tier architecture and code language uses ALE (Application Link Enabling) and BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) to link BW with SAP systems and non-SAP systems.  
 
BW Architecture

The BW has three layers in it. The top layer is the reporting layer. This top layer may be BW Business Explorer (BEx) or a third-party reporting device. This BEx consists of two components: one is BEx Analyzer and other is BEx Browser.

BW Server is a middle layer that carries out three tasks: it administrates the BW system, stores data and retrieves the data. In The bottom layer it consists of source systems, which may be R/3 systems, BW systems, flat files, and other systems. In the source systems a SAP component called Plug-In must be installed. It contains extractors. An extractor is a set of ABAP programs, database tables, and other objects that BW uses, which helps to extract data from the SAP systems. This BW Server contain  
 
 Administrator Workbench, Metadata Repository and Metadata Manager, Staging Engine, PSA, ODS and User Roles.

This Administrator Workbench checks metadata and all BW objects. It has two components: one is BW Scheduler and other is BW Monitor. This component helps to load data and to monitor the data.

This Metadata Repository contains information relating to data warehouse. Metadata Repository contains two types one is business-related and other is technical. Metadata Manager is used to maintain Metadata Repository.

PSA (Persistent Staging Area) is also a BW server. This PSA stores data in the original format while being imported from the source system. It ensures quality check of data before they are loaded in their destinations, such as ODS Objects or Info Cubes.

This ODS (Operational Data Store) Objects helps to build a multilayer structure for operational data reporting. It is used for detail reporting.
 
Info Cubes is an actual table and they are the associated dimension tables in a star schema.

The OLAP Processor is the analytical processing engine. It analyzes and retrieves data as per users' requests.

Documents are stored in BDS (Business Document Services). The documents can appear in different formats like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and HTML.

BW Business Content

The BW's most powerful selling is Business Content. It contains standard reports and other associated objects. For standard reports, BW use a function called Generic Data Extraction. This function is used to extract R/3 data.

Nowadays, BW is rapidly evolving. It helps to plan BW projects and their scopes.

This sap e-business consists of three components: they are my SAP Technology, my SAP Services and my SAP Hosted Solutions.

MySAP Technology provides an infrastructure for Web Application Server and for process-centric collaboration. This infrastructure contains a component called mySAP Business Intelligence.

Another type of services called mySAP Services are the best services which support SAP offers to the customers. They offer for business analysis, technology implementation, and training to system support.

This mySAP Hosted Solutions are the outsourcing services of SAP. With the help of this solution, customers need not want to maintain physical machines and networks.

GUI Design Vs Web Design With Code

 By Valeria Stephens 

Photo: webdevia.com
 
When you go into web design, you'll discover that the face of the field as been forever changed by GUI (Graphical User Interface, pronounced like gooey) design editors. Nonetheless, some designers prefer to work with the underlying page code. Both are part of modern web design courses and have advantages and disadvantages.

GUI programs are familiar to anyone who has used a modern computer, or even a smart phone. Operating systems on computers make themselves user friendly by requiring no knowledge of code. More advanced computer users can still use small snippets of code to check certain details on their computer, but even this is becoming impossible with the latest operating systems.
A similar evolution happened in graphics programs. One of the earliest places where point and click was used to good effect, the first graphics programs actually took number commands to determine line placement. Today that would be absurd and we operate drawing programs with near the same ease of an old fashioned pen and paper, or pain, without having to think about the math behind the picture.

GUI interfaces generally mean that output is based on WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). That means if a table is in a particular place, how it displays on the screen is how it will show up in the final product. This is good enough for a general user, and is a component of basic blogging software, but something a bit more in depth is needed for web design courses.

If you study web design in a computer college, or even if you want to become an expert user, you will learn about HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and other coding systems that talk to a web browser to tell it what to display. You might even want to go for some advanced IT training in web based programing and learn to use some of the plug in interfaces. These allow for a number of the in-browser games and utilities the average user makes part of their web experience, from social media through to basics like email and file and photo sharing.
WYSIWYG web design programs usually include a code mode, but you don't even need a fancy program to do it. A simple text editor, with nothing other than basic character input works fine to create HTML. That is how the earliest web designers did it. You'll just view your finished work in your computer's browser, before manually uploading it to your file host. On the other hand, with a WYSIWYG system, it may even do the file uploading for you, as well as allowing you to view the finished product in a variety of browsers, streamlining the design process.

Common Laptop Faults To Look Out For

 By Noah Zee 

Photo: cdn3.sbnation.com
 
A laptop computer shouldn't be viewed as unbreakable, you will find there are plenty of issues that might go drastically wrong in day-to-day use, from bumps and scrapes or computer software complications to hardware problems. Having a laptop computer which is frequently carried with you means that anything at all might happen and it may be rather frustrating if issues are encountered. Being familiar with possible laptop errors can help you to self-diagnose complications and from that point figure out the appropriate plan of action to get the issue solved. Here are several of the most common complications where a laptop computer may have to be mended -

Bumps & Knocks

Laptops are designed with mobility at heart, and because of the continual traveling to and fro, they can withstand a substantial amount of punishment. A substantial bump can certainly trigger a laptop computer to fail. Impact damage can damage the external shell or case and even more importantly result in the harddrive malfunctioning. For the case, a couple of good bumps could before long leave the outer shell damaged, warped or dinged up. And, with regards to the inner elements, an unexpected jolt could result in damage to the harddrive or mother board, which can result in the laptop becoming unusable.

Overheating

Quite a frequent issue with laptop computers is getting too hot which generally develops from a fan no longer working efficiently enough. In the event the fan is obstructed, which often can occur when the laptop is put on a soft or textile surface area or blocked with airborne debris, than this might quickly result in the laptop starting to overheat. When the fan isn't capable of working as designed, the interior elements, for example the Central processing unit and hard drive may very well get too hot, which can force the laptop computer to immediately power down - this is usually a built-in, protective measure to prevent long-term harm.

Life Of The Battery

In the event the battery pack isn't in a position to charge then chances are it will be an issue with the exterior power supply or perhaps a defective power jack. The power jack, it is the outlet on the side or rear of the laptop computer which allows you to connect to the AC adapter and it is fairly susceptible to damage because of the frequency of its use. When the AC adapter is often connected and removed, the jack may well come unfastened from the mounting within the mother board, which could result in charging related difficulties.

How to choose between: Netbook vs Laptop

 by: Dawood Mamedoff

Photo: techmaza.in
 
 Share of netbooks at PC market has rapidly grown recently. They are more often considered as a future replacement for regular laptops that used to utilize before. However there is an inherent confusion as to what exactly a netbook is and how it compares to a laptop. Undoubtedly both of them have their own advantages and shortages. In order to make your life easier when choosing between 2 gadgets we have listed below points to consider before purchasing:

Size. What you surely feel in the first instance about netbooks is their size. Netbook’s display usually ranges from 7 to 10 inches whereas laptops normally start from 14 inches. This consequently makes netbooks much smaller and lighter comparing to laptops. They are so portable that you may carry them in a purse or small backpack.

Resolution. Most of netbooks currently allow for maximum screen resolution at 1024x600. Anything below doesn’t let you to view whole width of the web page at any one time. So the user has to scroll the page back and forth to read a full line of text. However most recent netbooks are usually produced to allow 1024x600 which is ok for comfortable surfing over majority of web-sites.

Power. The smaller size of netbooks makes them much more power efficient. So you can use a netbook for 5-6 hours without recharging batteries which is about 3 times longer than your average laptop. This feature together with an increased portability puts netbooks in a category of must-have stuff for long distant travellers.

Performance. Of course a size is not the only difference between these 2 categories of gadgets. The main shortage of netbooks relates to their weaker performance specifications. Lower hard drive speed, processor speed and graphics memory apparently do not add any value to the attractiveness of netbooks. Therefore running any sort of processor-intensive jobs like graphics, footage or video modifying wouldn’t be as smooth as it used to be on laptops. Even excessive playing of videos on sites like Youtube can also slow down your netbook considerably. 

Keyboard. Another major complaint about netbooks is the dimension of the keyboards. If you have large fingers, you’ll find that you spend as much time correcting typos as you do typing. Netbooks generally carry scrunched up small keyboards that are rather uncomfortable to type on, making them unsuitable for note taking.

Optical drives and connectivity. Netbooks usually do not have an optical disc drives - so that means no CDs or DVDs. Nonetheless, connectivity is a central focus for netbooks. All of them come with Wi-Fi built in and an increasing number now also have Bluetooth on board, so they can be connected wirelessly to a 3G mobile phone for internet access on the move.

Price. And the last but apparently not least point to consider is the price. Netbooks cost between $200-$500 depending on how fancy you want it and what you are using it for. The cheapest laptops start at around $400. With a low end netbook, you can get on the Internet, type and edit documents, and play some games that don’t need a lot of graphics to run smoothly. The higher end models offer more storage, more RAM, and more features.

The Illusion of Business Intelligence

by: Max J. Pucher

Photo: res.sys-con.com
 
The proponents of BI however hope to fulfill the vision of Laplace; who suggested: '... with an intelligence sufficiently vast to submit all comprehensable data to analysis ... nothing would be uncertain and the future and past present to his eyes.' 

Business Intelligence is not a productive system, such as accounting, stockkeeping, or supply chain management. Customer care or relationship management should first be consodered as a tool to manage and track your customer service, but is often seen as an analysis tool for customer behavior to improve for example cross-selling rather than service quality.

Business Intelligence is complex and expensive software for gathering and analyzing masses of data that supposedly will be of help to make better business decisions. It relies on a faith in mathematics that were obtained by Bernoulli, Coombs, Edwards, Neumann and Morgenstern. They saw heuristic approaches to decision making as defective because it takes resource saving short-cuts.

The proponents of BI now claim that it provides the computing power to optimize decision making by calculating probability for maximum utitlity, as described by Simon (1955). Optimisation however, relies on a number of restrictive assumptions, such as that the process of decision analysis has to be followed precisely and that the data available are correct and relevant. Let's for a moment assume that the garbage-in problem has been solved and the data given to the business executives are good.

Klein (1999) provides a list of these restrictions and requirements that were identified in many studies :

1. The goals must be well defined in quantitative terms.

2. The decision makers values must be stable.

3. The situation must be stable.

4. The task is restricted to the selection of options.

5. Exhaustive generation of alternatives.

6. Optimal choice must be possible in reasonable time.

7. Thorough comparison of options.

8. Use compensatory strategy

9. Probaility estimates must be coherent and accurate.

10. Failure prediction must be exhaustive.

11. Evaluation must be exhaustive

There are many studies about human decision making and most of them come to the conclusion that 'less is more'. Less information about a subject makes for better decisions. Bi can be used to gather and consolidate information that then seems to be simpler and easier to use for decisions. The problem is one of comprehension and trust. Can the user comprehend what the data values truly mean? Do the metadata make sense to the deciding person? Can past averages, means, standard deviations and periodic data be used to predict the future? I propose that just a few people within any organization might even sensibly comprehend what those data could mean. The old adage of garbage-in-garbage-out still holds. Who knows if the mathematical methods used to process the data are well chosen.

Klein (1999) proposes that forcing people to give up their heuristic approach to decision making puts them into 'information overload' and questions optimization as the gold standard for decision making.

Now that users of Business Intelligence data do not find them too helpful and seem overwhelmed, the new idea is to aid or replace human decision making with predictive analytics, using probability calculated from past data. Probability computing about future events is the next illusion that BI proponents sell.

Here is a list of what the executives and managers really need for decision making and don't get from Business Inteligence:

- what customers want.

- what to do to be competitive.

- where business has to innovate.

- how the market will react to current and upcoming changes.

- what competitors are currently doing.

- how employees really see the company.

- how to impove the profitability of the business.

- how to improve internal communications.

- the quality of business processes (not the quality of execution).

You might recognize a common element in the above list: Knowledge is not about knowing a lot of data, or taking decisions based on data. One has to come up with an ACTION or a list of alternative actions and then take a decision which one to perform. Finding out from BI that revenue is dropping only says that the management is out of touch with the business.

Simon (1972) was concerned that optimization was not practical in a field setting because of its restrictions. I propose that there is no proof available that BI solves the problem of the restrictions listed above. Business Intelligence can enforce the optimization process for the decision maker and seemingly create the conditions necessary. It can however only propose options based on the data available to the system. It can not propose to the user to go outside the system and analyze other information as it brakes the optimization process. As a consequence it BLINDS the decision maker to the real world. Klein (1999) proposes that it the enforced optimization process stops the decision maker from gaining experience for future benefit. Outside opportunities and constraints would be totally ignored.

Business Intellilgence enforces a better decision making process but not a better quality of decision making.

Timely and good quality information is not like having a crystal ball. It is abstract information and will tell the user nothing that he doesn't know. We can only make decisions based on analogies to previously perceived patterns that have to be fairly simple. Statistical software does not take better decisions just because it can process more data. Any data given to the user that is not truly relevant turns into noise that reduces the quality of the communication channel and obfuscates the important information. Less data means less noise.

What information should it be that truly represents a company's competitive position in the market? Past sales data and comparisons of market share? What decision will that offer? The best way to find out about the competion is to ask a customer who decided for another product why. A competitor is a friend who helps the business to improve what it does. Without competitors companies would become complacent. Inteviewing five of those customers who switched - ideally face to face - will provide much more decision making input than statistics. That certain groups of randomly classified people spent a certain amount on randomly classified goods is not knowledge. A qualified manager who attends sales calls or walks into the store to speak with customers will see those changes in customer behaviour in real-time. He can ask about customer preferences at the time they happen and not months later in a filtered and watered down manner that is completely abstract.

March (1978) and Simon (1983) propose that people do not decide by calculating expected utility and question its mathematical foundation (that is used in BI) for real-world situations. Klein (1999) proposes that training people by exposing them to experience of decision making is more important than abstract optimization processes. This falls in line with Thomas Sowell in 'Knowledge and Decisions' who calculates the cost of knowledge by its practical usefullness and not by the amount of abstract eductation.

Antonio Damasio (1995) has virtually proven the influence of our emotional center on human decision making and Steven Johnson paints a wonderful picture of the power of our human mind in its connection of instincts, intuitions and emotions created by the link between the neocortex and hippocampus, and amygdala. Good decisions come from feeling good about a decision and mathematical optimization strategies fail to do that.

Massive business intelligence data do not eliminate the guesswork but create a substantial amount of new guesses that have no connection with the real world situation. Yes, gather business relevant data, filter it and link just the neceassary detail right into your business service, that will improve decision making. Our uncertainty is not reduced by knowing more, as we all have experienced. That is the approach we propose at ISIS Papyrus Software.

Top Tips for Buying a New Computer

 By Laura L Bungarz 

Photo: techlocation.com
 
So you want to buy a new computer? Maybe this is your first computer or maybe it's an upgrade from an old relic you've had for a while. Whatever the reason for the new computer, this article will help you make some key decisions around what to look for in your new computer.

1. Desktop or Laptop? This is always a huge question and there are whole articles discussing just this very thing. For me it comes down to one question: Does it need to be portable? Laptops are great for people on the move. They are awesome if you don't have a lot of space to put a big desktop computer. But they are disposable. They are hard to repair and expensive if you decide to repair them. They aren't upgradeable either. The desktop computer will last you longer, you can upgrade it and if it does break, the part is easily replaced. Make this decision based on your own needs and preferences.

2. What am I going to use it for? You need a lot more power to play online games such as World of Warcraft than you do to write a letter in Microsoft Word. Decide what you will use it for first and then pick a computer that fits that need. Remember that they make computers specifically for gaming. They are high powered computers with expensive video and sound cards and a lot of processing power. You don't need all that to check the news your standard desktop computer will do just fine.

3. How much money do I have to spend? This determines everything! You can get a desktop computer for $300 if you want. These are perfectly good computers. They probably won't play your online role playing game, but they are good for surfing the web and doing some word processing. On the other extreme you can spend $2000, $3000 or even $5000 on a brand new system that does everything and will play any game you throw at it. So decide whether you're getting a laptop or a desktop and what your intended usage is and then pick a budget that fits your needs.

4. How do I pick once I've narrowed down my choices?
a. Look at processing power first. We are up to iCore7 and counting. You may not need an iCore7 for your purposes now, but if you can afford a little extra juice it will help extend the life of your computer.

b. Then look at the amount of RAM you need. I suggest no less than 4 GB of RAM. Make sure the computer will handle at least 6 or 8 GB though. This gives you some upgrade room when you need it.
c. Now decide how much storage you need. Most computers come with at least 200 or 300 GB now and many with much more than that. Storage space is easy to expand as needed with external hard drives and USB thumb drives so it's not a crisis if your hard drive is a little small.

d. Lastly look at the extras like DVD burners, a fancy mouse or keyboard, video cards and sound cards. Unless you're watching a lot of movies or listening to a lot of music or playing those games we talked about, the video card and sound card that are in the computer will be fine. Often these are referred to as "onboard video" or "onboard sound." All that means is that they are part of the motherboard, not an extra card like you can buy at any computer store.

When you finally decide on a computer make sure you have all of the cables you need to hook up your monitor and printer if you have one. Keep the receipt in case it doesn't work for some reason or you're missing pieces and make sure you keep the box for a while. Often the box is your warranty. Many manufacturers require you to send the computer back in the original box for repair if it's needed. Once the warranty period ends you can throw out the box.

Print this article in case you need it and have fun shopping! Buying a new computer is a lot of fun once you learn a little bit about what you're buying and what you need. Getting the right computer for your needs takes a little research, but it's worth the effort. When you get a computer that can keep up to your needs it makes your life a lot easier. Enjoy!

Development Tips for Mobile Application Developers

 by BRIAN PARKER

Photo: 2.bp.blogspot.com
 
Nowadays enterprises and government agencies rush to obtain custom mobile applications, stimulating the surge of mobile apps. The exponential growth in the mobile industry has remained a great catalyst to the invention of various mobile operating systems. The upsurge of mCommerce also galvanized the demand and market for mobile application developers. To chalk out the right methods, technology, platform, and tools there are some time-tested tips and checklists for mobile application developers which are discussed here: 

Appropriate Platform 

Whether you are going to hire a developer for iphone app development or Android app development, choosing the right platform to deploy your app is imperative. Often app projects reach a significant bunch of customers, because of budget restraints. It reaches only a small segment of the market if developed on a specific platform. To stay connected with the broader spectrum of masses and get optimum ROI, other platforms like Android, which has a greater share in the market, should be considered. There are many establishments, offering expert cross platform resources at affordable prices. The companies leverage the know how of platform-technology to design, develop, license and deploy apps across all platforms and devices at the same cost as that of developing app on one platform. It is advisable to deploy a cross-platform expert mobile application developer to gain maximum returns.

User-Friendly Content Management System

Easy-to-use content management system (CMS) is imperative, which allows the internal staff, marketing section, outside agency, etc. to use a single dash board to organize and handle the entire portfolio of apps. The dynamic CMS allows non-technical person to easily upload new graphics, images, create promotional campaigns, add pages, modify or make changes in content and even navigation concepts, by clicking the mouse. Advanced CMS will also allow app modifications to occur in real-time.

Single Integration Point

Internal methodology to organize existing digital content should be unique and same for all mobile apps. The app must have single integration point so that in future when any changes or updates are made to the database or websites etc., it must reflect and publish in real-time to the suite of apps. Lack of single integration point often leads to burdensome internal process due to additional workload and inability to promote and launch new content to the market in real-time.

Professional Maintenance Program 

After the development and deployment of the app, ongoing maintenance is the final and on going step. If there are internal technical resources, things can be organized. The mobile technology is more complex, time consuming and expensive as prominent changes are witnessed in every 3 months. A well rounded and expert developer can take up the responsibilities of ongoing maintenance of the program, which includes support for in-house users, unforeseen bug fixing, future-proofing of the app etc.

Synopsis

There are several other checklist considerations, but above mentioned are the most significant and predominant developmental milestones. If all these aspects are considered, the mobile app can seamlessly deliver, fruitful contents to the target digital audience, irrespective of the dynamic mobile vertical.

Recovering Permanently Deleted Files

 By Danny Bob 

Photo: 3.bp.blogspot.com

Quite often you come across a situation where you need to recover deleted files that you may have removed through (Shift + Del) or by clearing your recycle bin, in such an event you can use some of the popular data recovery software's that you can easily find on the internet.
Ideally when you need to recover deleted files, what happens is that only the reference location of the directory structure is deleted while the space that has stored the original data remains unused. Unless you have overwritten in that space, files can be recovered easily and these software's are easy to use and resourceful. Also, for this software's to be effective, it is also important that the user do not carry out any sort of formatting or disk defragmentation to the hard disk after deleting the file.
Here are some useful software's that you could use to help recover your deleted files.
Kickass Undelete
This software is a portable recovery system and an open source application that can be used on Windows platforms. To make it work, just open the software and on the left panel you will see the directories. Click on directory that originally stored your file and click scan. Once the scan has been completed you will notice that the files have been listed on the basis of Name, Type, Last Modified and Size. Click on the file you want to recover and then click 'Restore Files'.
Pandora Recovery
This is one of the most popular file recovery options in circulation right now. It has a simple interface and is equipped with one of the best wizards to aid you in data recovery. It can also be used across various storage devices like memory cards, USB drives, and external disks apart from the usual Hard Disk. It also features an interesting advanced recovery feature called the 'surface scan', which scans and provide better recovery results than most standard applications.
Free Undelete
As the name suggests, it's available for free and is a good choice for file recovery software. This software can also be used across different storage devices that can be connected to your PC. One of its unique aspects is the 'folder drill down' feature. This feature makes searching for your files less cumbersome and easy to spot.
Recuva
This is another file recovery application that is popular with the masses. The software is available for free and has an easy to use interface. It can be used across most Windows platforms and file recoveries are even successful on Apple iDevices. It also has many advanced recovery and search options, which easily makes it one of the most sought after options for data recovery.
Undelete Plus
This is an effective data recovery application. It may not be in the same league as some of the other recovery software's, but can do a good job nevertheless. It can be used on most Windows platforms and can recover files from various storage devices that can be connected to your PC. It searches and scans most of the files with popular extensions. Good and safe choice!
