less. Dumping and loading a database is an essential part of its proper manage- ment, and you’ve been doing it for a while. But when you dump and load, do you *know* that it’s going to help? Is it the right time? And are you doing it the best way? In this session, Scott will revisit the basics of dumping and loading databases, including clear- cut ways to determine when it’s time and reviewing all of the ways you can dump and load, along with their trade-offs. |

Companies are now moving
towards the goal of an instantaneous close, which means that one can generate an accurate financial statement from the system at the stroke of midnight on the last day of the accounting period. This presentation talks about the general activities that contribute to the speedy and orderly closing of a GL calendar period. It covers the common pitfalls (e.g. reconciliation) and alter- nate approaches that one can adopt for them. |
There are dos and don'ts for preparing and running an application in .NetUI. It's worth knowing ahead of time (before you upgrade) what to do so that your application will run. This talk will give you an overview of the screen architecture of .NetUI - how it translates character screens into the browser interface. It will describe what is supported in the interface and what is not. In addition, it will briefly touch on what works and does not work in any wrappers you might have. |
