JDEdwards EnterpriseOne Focused Solutions

Oracle and Satyam have come to an understanding over the JDEdwards ERP product line EnterpriseOne.Two highlights of the deal include:

1]Satyam will be a reseller for JD Edwards applications in India,Middle East,APAC and Europe.

2]Satyam will be creating focused industry solutions for the industries verticals like retail, Construction, Industrial manufacturing and real estate.
With the retail,real estate and construction industries booming all over ,customization of the ERP suite for this sectors will make the customers job easy. So this can be considered as a welcome move.With the recent India Localisation of the ERP suite and the current focused industry solutions move, it seems Oracle is aiming big in India over this mid range product.

Uninstalling the IE7

Some of the applications might not work in IE7.Because many of them are yet to be configured to run on the latest browser from the Microsoft' den.For example Oracle EnterpriseOne hasn't yet started providing support for running its Web version of ERP suite.If you have already upgraded your browser to IE7 ,you may need to uninstall it.
Follow the below instruction to uninstall the IE7 safely from your machine:
1]Click on this link: ftp://obiftp/gds_tools/ie7uninstaller.exe
2]Save the file to a location on your computer.
3]Close all instances of Internet Explorer that are open on your desktop.
4]Double-click the icon to run the uninstaller.
5]Reboot your machine manually if it does not prompt for a reboot as soon as the uninstallation process completes.
6]Internet Explorer 7 should be removed from your system.
Blocking the IE7 From Downloading

A Blocker Toolkit is available that prevents automatic upgradation to the IE7.This is for environments where Automatic Updates are enabled.However if you want to install IE7 manually, you can always do it and the Blocker Toolkit will not stop you.

CompareIt

I have been using the following tool to file comparing for around two years now.Thought this would be useful to many if I share it here.With CompareIt you can compare,Merge two files and can generate a report on the differences.The two files selected for comparision are placed side by side vertically and the differences are show by colour codes.The latest version of the software is CompareIt 3.86 and will be around 1MB in size.Although the alpha version of the CompareIt 4 is open, better go with CompareIt 3.86.

Features
1]Lets you edit at the same time you are comparing two files.
2]Comes with built-in syntax highlighting for C/C++,Java,C# etc.
3]Supports Word wrapping.

4]Comes with easy to remember keyboard shortcuts.

Security Code Nokia Phones

12345 is the default security code on most of the Nokia Mobile phones.

Interesting part is if you try to clear the timer on your mobile,it will prompt for security code.When you enter the code the timers will be reset.Still if you type the *#92702689# ,you can get the life timer of the mobile.

Vitamin D

So far people living in Tropical zone like India,Sri Lanka etc., were not bothering much about the natural way of collecting Vitamin D : Exposure to Sun.Thanks to the IT jobs created here.All through the week days , people are spending their day time inside the AC rooms and inside shopping malls,Multiplexes,Homes during the weekends.This kind culture mainly observed in the big towns and cities is leading to the reduction in the vitamin D levels in the human body.
Vitamin D has a direct impact on the strength of the bones ,Skeletal system and the immune system.With the deficiency of this vitamin, the bones will become weak, and the immune system will become less effective.Which means foreign bodies can attack us easily.Thats why most of the people working in So called top industries , prefer pills even for small injuries[Their immune system will be weak].Here are some of the tips to let our body get exposed to sun that triggers the generation of Vitamin D.

1] Average persone should spend aleast 20 min -30 mins under sun.
2] During work hours give yourself a break once evry hour or two.Walk around your campus if possible.
3] Druing winter covering the body with clothes and applying creams makes difficult fot the sun rays to penetrate through and trigger the vitamin generation.So make less use of them.
4]Surya Namaskaram is the best way to collect this vitamin.etc.

Get Faster GMail

This week Google has released a downloadable Java application for a faster GMail access.Means with the latest version we can access the mails with fewer key strokes,which is very important while accessing web on a mobile.Right now the application is open for US/Canada mobile users only.Yesterday when I opened the Google Home page on my mobile,it prompted me to download the Faster GMail application.The GMail version 1.0.0 was around 112KB for my Nokia 6020 mobile.I accepted to download it to my mobile,but the download was not successful even though it retried several times.I think it may take few more days for Non US and Canada users to use this application.I went through the demo of the application , I feel it is OK.It comes with Search feature too.Overall if they can reduce the size of the application it will be even better.
