POINTS TO PONDER

TOGETHER... WE CAN

Whoooosh... one full month of 2011 went by... just like that, before we could imagine. Hopefully, everyone must have gotton over the hangover of the new year..Here we come closer to the end of financial year 2010-2011.. and it is performance appraisal time again!!! Before the Performance Appraisal actually gets floated, a good time for all to start counting (and recording) the good things and the achievements in the last year. Stretch your memories a bit every day.. go in flashback, right from April 2010 and start jotting down your achievements. Some people prefer to do it the other way round.. they go reverse while recalling. Jotting down recent happenings and then retracing their steps backward..For people who use mail boxes, recall becomes easier with old mails, some people do maintain dairies and calendars of things to do.. There are smarter people who merely tell their wives everything that happens in the office and do they have a great memory!!! Whatever the method...Wish you luck... LAUGHTER A DAY

SAP FUNDA

REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATIONS

As a continuation from the last issue, here is the communication part of the Application Server. We will cover the process that it handles. We need a co-ordinator among different work processes, a kind of Team Lead to say who will do which work and when. •For this we have a DISPATCHER, it organizes the communication between the work processes and also between the SAP GUI. We need a process that keeps info about all processes and help the dispatcher to balance the load among them. •Message server dose exactly that. It also helps to established initial connection between SAP GUI and application server when the user logs in for first time & used for communication with other Systems in the landscape. There is a lot more to this Architecture but this is to give a very general idea of what goes on in the WAS APAB. To clear the picture of the SAP Application server in your mind. Have a look at the image below -

Rohan Mithila,Pune : In the Labour camp school Republic Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm. On 25th Jan, uniforms were distributed to 90 students.On 26th Jan, Tricolor flag was hoisted.

To sum up: •User interacts with the Application server using SAP GUI . •SAP message server establishes the initial connection between user and Dispatcher. •Dispatcher will decide which work process is to be called according to user interaction. •Different work process (Dialog , spool, background, en queue , update) do their job as defined above. Now you know about SAP GUI, Message Server, Dispatcher and 5 different work process. So the next time when any BASIS Administrator comes and throws all these terms at you, you know what they exactly mean. Contributed by : Mukund Kshirsagar BASIS Administrator.

HUMOR CORNER

Save energy save Money save environment Lighting l Turn off the lights when not in use l Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight l De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination l Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it l Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same lighting l Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes Fans l Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans l Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans Computers l Turn off your home office equipment when not in use. A computer that runs 24 hours a day, for instance, uses - more power than an energy-efficient refrigerator. l If your computer must be left on, turn off the monitor; this device alone uses more than half the system's energy. l Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to use sleep-mode when not in use helps cut energy costs by approximately 40%. l Battery chargers, such as those for laptops, cell phones and digital cameras, draw power whenever they are plugged in and are very inefficient. Pull the plug and save. l Screen savers save computer screens, not energy. Start-ups and shutdowns do not use any extra energy, nor are they hard on your computer components. In fact, shutting computers down when you are finished using them actually reduces system wear – and saves energy

3 Cats A young girl enters a pet shop to buy a cat. The pet shop worker shows her three cats that look identical. "This cat here costs Rs.1,000," he explains. "Why does that cat cost so much?" the girl asks. "This cat knows how to complete legal research," the pet shop worker explains. The girl asks about the cat in the middle, and the pet shop owner explains that the middle cat costs Rs.2,000 because it knows legal research and can win any case. The girl is curious and asks about the third cat. "That one is Rs.5,000." "Well, what can this cat do?" asks the girl. "Honeslty, I have no idea. I have never even seen it do anything at all, but it says it's a Project Manager.”

ARCHITECTURAL WONDER

The Danish Pavilion in Shanghai is an exhibition of sustainable and urbanminded living as experienced in Copenhagen. To share this experience, the Danish Pavilion is designed around the city bike, the harbor path, the playground and the picnic. This whitepainted steel structure rises out of the Shanghai Expo grounds in a spiraling pattern, where cyclists and pedestrians alike can tour its features firsthand. Both Copenhagen and Shanghai are amongst the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most bike-focused cities, and the goal of the Danish Pavilion is to concrete this relationship and show that sustainable living options can be of great benefit to a city that is quickly moving toward automotive transportation in Shanghai.
