If you have an image copy and you want to recover to that image copy, another option is to DSN1COPY the image copy to a test tablespace and then unload just the table of interest.

I recently worked with someone who was referred to as a "functional guy" because he didn't know SQR, or PeopleTools, or any other things that most folks think of as "technical." However, while he knew a fair bit about HR, he knew relatively little about benefits and virtually nothing about payroll. Financials? Whassat?? OTOH, on the same project we had a "technical guy" with several years of PS experience who knew almost nothing about "functional stuff," but knew less than nothing about networks, UNIX, or HTML. This Zappa-esque notion of "You is the opposite of what you ain't" doesn't appeal to me. I think we need more descriptive adjectives, and a willingness to apply several of them per person. How about: On-line objects developer Batch objects developer Web developer Interface developer Interface architect Interface requirements analyst Host systems manager [HR / Payroll / Financials / etc.] operations analyst [HR / etc. ] application configuration analyst Application trainer / training developer Data migration and mapping analyst Data conversion developer Requirements session facilitator More complicated, but also maybe more useful.

I won't bore you with my resume. As for the direction of this industry: I see hardware and software costs will continue to drop, while labor costs will continue to increase. It is already apparent to the folks in the executive suite that the cost and schedule of any IT project is driven by the availability and quality of the people doing the work, and cost of ownership is driven by cost of training and retention. Linux will not get a toehold in enterprise systems until it can significantly reduce labor costs.

IT DOES WORK! : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, : and came across an article similar to this that said you could make : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the : article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of : the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it : over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... : within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I : figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had : made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in : rapidly. It's certainlyworth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more : than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most : importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this : article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. : I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you : will start making more money than you thought possible by doing : something so easy! : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or : download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come : in! : It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus : postage) : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not : illegal; and it is 99%no risk - it really works! : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive : extraordinary dividends. : PLEASE NOTE: : Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be : yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of : the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its : success by carefully adhering to the instructions. : You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business : your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in : the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are : happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made : from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from : people like you and me asking to be included in that list. : Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of : paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent : thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal : them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of : paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 : bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY : LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for : it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried : about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. : Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed : legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: : : : #1)M. Wagster : 76 Star Circle : Dyersburg, TN 38024 : #2)L. Johnson : 85 Atherton Circle : Pittsburg, CA 94565 : #3)A. Young : 5560 Hillcrest Dr. : Union City, GA 30291 : #4)J. Alderson : 212 Dunmore Ave. : Danville, VA. 24540 : #5)C. Truvillion Jr. : 4004 Thames Ct. : Bakersfield, CA 93313 #6)C. Bishop 1029 Lampton St. Louisville, Ky, 40204 : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move : the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR : Name as number 6 on the list. : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as : close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at : least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All : you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you : make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :) : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 : Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, : you can use it again, and again. : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the : honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully : adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of : integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many : others have received will come your way. : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, : either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. : This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might : be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk : of mail theft.) : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, : six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List : Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list : geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will : be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for : only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send : it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own : posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and : drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' : from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the : computer's memory. : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top : of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will : paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name : to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If : youwant to do your postings in different settings, you'll always : have this file to go back to. : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for : various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, : discussions.) : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new : message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste : from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that : everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a : particular group, click the post message button. You're done with : your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is : jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of : it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE : MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT : : YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving : money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to : rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If : you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSESARE : CORRECT.** : Now, : each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 : postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each : of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each : make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I : will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn : around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 : replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the : fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with : my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me : $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original : investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the : list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send : out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 : again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you : realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the : internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are : now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think : so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no : one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that : happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest : people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are : willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new : users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual : internet.

It's too old. Upgrades can not be applied as they come in. A PeopleSoft Upgrade must be done at one time. What they are currently doing is applying patches and fixes to their system as they come in. Again, PeopleSoft would not be supplying any patches or fixes to the version they are on because it is too old. PeopleSoft Financials, and all other PS applications are modular applications. This means that you would be able to upgrade your existing AP system to PeopleSoft Financials A/P. Get that environment up and running before you decide to convert/merge the old A/R system data to the new PS A/R module. The entire Financials, to include AP and AR will be stored in one single database. Sharing of data between the two..... I am not sure if they is a correct term. The data is stored in the same database and the front-end to both would be the same. Productivity would increase for both applications.

Jennifer, I have worked at a University on contract and they did have a formal Security setup process. A form was completed either on-line or in hard copy and was sent to the Security Administrator. I would suggest having designated folks from different areas of the univerisity act as contacts to the Security Administrator. That way there is some control over who is submitting a request. I would suggest having one PeopleSoft Security Administrator (SA) with a backup person who knows the responsibility of the (SA). If an employee is no longer employed I would also create some kind of form that is filled out and returned to the SA so PSoft access is removed. Maybe you can have one form with multiple actions such as New User Access, Remove Access and Update Access. I would also suggest using a pattern in assigning ID's. Using Name (first initial and last) is a great start. I have seen other companies use Employee ID or their LAN ID. Remember to remind your psoft users to update their passwords since they never expire. Another helpful suggestion is to have the person who is submitting the security request give you a model ID to assign or Update access. You can open the Model ID and then "save as" for the new ID. As for Menu Access I would set up Operator classes for the required Menu access and then assign Operators to the different classes. Please let me know if you have any other questions since I have had my bouts with PeopleSoft security. I hope that the information that I have sent to you is helpful. Good Luck.

For example, you have a new employee. Does that employee fill out a form requesting a login id and password? Who gives the approval for that new employee to have access? Is there usually only one person who sets up users in the system? What happens when that person is no longer employed? Also, what is a typical login? First initial and then last name like jfoil? Or last name and first initial - foilj? Do you have different menus set up for different levels of access to the system? We are in the beginning phases of implementing the financial modules here at the University of Southern Mississippi. I appreciate any and all help! Hello Jennifer, In most places there is a formal process either online or hardcopy that must be abhered to. In one shop I know of they have an online form that the network group fills in for new employees using userid (first 5 letters of last name,+ first letter of first name,+ first letter of middle name). This actually gets the user up and running on the network. For peoplesoft the manager of the new user must fill in the form requesting access to peoplesoft, this gets first forwarded to the network group to create any folders required, cache files, and any home directories that need to be assigned. Next it gets forwarded to the PeopleSoft Security Administrator who would set them up in peoplesoft, assign class, and passwords. The peoplesoft administrator would have various classes set up such as GL1, GL2, GL3, AP1, AP2 AP3 all which would have varying degrees of access to the system. I hope this has been helpfull, as background I am a peoplesoft consultant currently working on the technical side in the field with 3 years experience.

Hi Jan, The client that I am working for does have a tree that is branched and I would have to rate the performace as very slow. It takes about 10-12 minutes to open the tree. Please also take into consideration that this branched tree also have many nodes on it as well. If you are going to do reporting from this tree you may also want to consider the impact that this will have. I think that the branching will impact a reporting tree more then a security tree.

If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work MAKE MONEY, FAST THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS, BELIVE ME!!!!!!!!! A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) Jeremy Cullen 35 Hopkins Point Road Australia,Warrnambool, VIC 3280, #2) James Spencer 3440 Wood Valley Rd. Sonoma, CA 95476 #3) Matt Johnson 120 Quail Lane Palatka, FL 32177 #4) Jon Thomason 11 Snowhill Meadows Foley, MO 36617 #5) Sam Kimmel 625 Elm Dr. 340 Cole Madison, WI 53706 #6) John Doe 187 Walden Dr., Kanata, Ont., Canada K2K 2K7 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS ----- HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin reciving money from around the world within days!

This issue seems to have become important enough for PS to address it with the introduction of their Web Client. They have created the PSOPRDEFN_INTFC table to automate the process of creating PeopleSoft operators. The datamover script OPRLOAD.DMS will load operators from the PSOPRDEFN_INTFC table into the PS operator tables.

In the fifties and early sixties, during my childhood and the alleged Golden Age, there were three networks, filling up about 3.5 hours each week night and another three on weekend nights. "I Love Lucy" was a real ground-breaker, filmed with three cameras before a live studio audience. Four sets in the average episode, generally all blocked the same from week to week. "Combat" was gritty realism, with the same 5 or 6 guys playing German soldiers, getting killed each week. An hour long, with 12-14 scenes on 10 (mostly exterior) locations, maybe 20 blocks, some squibs, and sounds of gunfire in place of a laugh track. Nowadays, we have "Voyager", with a new alien species (and corresponding prosthetics, wardrobe, makeup and interiors) almost every week. Maybe 30 blocks on 18 or so sets, 10-12 effects shots, 25 or so scenes, including several "split" conversations in multiple backdrops, lots of blue screen and matte shots, and complex characterizations. On one of 500 channels. In the early 70's when I started, I was writing Fortran on punch cards on a Model 29, then dumping them into a hopper to be fed into a 360/50. Next day, I'd get a listing and results printout. Mostly engineering calculations. I'd do the same stuff today in MathCAD, or maybe one of the TI graphing calculators. Don't even get me started on the complexities of an integrated HR / Benefits / Payroll / etc. system, as compared to the first "staffing report" I worked on (which I'd do today in PS Query). And I really don't want to belabor the delta between the 360 OS and Win2K, which allegedly has 25,000,000 lines of code. And yet, we complain. Well, of course it's imperfect! We're doing something we couldn't begin to describe to the guys who taught us the ropes.

READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) Sherry Beth 345 Pacific Ave. N. #DD7 Pacific, WA 98047 : #2) Joseph Erickson 16050 Hare Creek Road, Corry, PA 16407 : #3) Katherine Mohatt Lewis & Clark College 0615 S.W Palatine Hill Rd Box 1268 Portland OR 97219: #4) R. Blair 418 10th Ave N.W. Calgary, Alberta T2M-0B5 #5) Fabien Thillet 1836 Beach Drive, Box 36 Gulfport 39507, MS : #6) Rod Auerbach, 74 Regina Road, Monsey, New York 10952. STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ STEP 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. STEP 3) Save your new notepad file as a text file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. STEP 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) STEP 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Wendy Testaburger posted Message 298 in Message Board Dated : March 13, 2000 at 12:06:15 EST Subject: I'm Forwarding These Addresses To Ted Koszinski I'm going to the magazine store, shake every subscription card out of every magazine, and subscribe these jerks.

In the fifties and early sixties, during my childhood and the alleged Golden Age, there were three networks, filling up about 3.5 hours each week night and another three on weekend nights. "I Love Lucy" was a real ground-breaker, filmed with three cameras before a live studio audience. Four sets in the average episode, generally all blocked the same from week to week. "Combat" was gritty realism, with the same 5 or 6 guys playing German soldiers, getting killed each week. An hour long, with 12-14 scenes on 10 (mostly exterior) locations, maybe 20 blocks, some squibs, and sounds of gunfire in place of a laugh track. Nowadays, we have "Voyager", with a new alien species (and corresponding prosthetics, wardrobe, makeup and interiors) almost every week. Maybe 30 blocks on 18 or so sets, 10-12 effects shots, 25 or so scenes, including several "split" conversations in multiple backdrops, lots of blue screen and matte shots, and complex characterizations. On one of 500 channels. : In the early 70's when I started, I was writing Fortran on punch cards on a Model 29, then dumping them into a hopper to be fed into a 360/50. Next day, I'd get a listing and results printout. Mostly engineering calculations. I'd do the same stuff today in MathCAD, or maybe one of the TI graphing calculators. Don't even get me started on the complexities of an integrated HR / Benefits / Payroll / etc. system, as compared to the first "staffing report" I worked on (which I'd do today in PS Query).

I regret my blank message, below. I am new to this board. To the person who waxes poetic about the early days of television, I say, "CRAP." Peoplesoft is the most overrated, oversold and under-performing software ever seen. Peoplesoft is a TOOL and as tools go it could stand some SERIOUS improvements. Ever had the pleasure of holding an antique chisel, spokeshave or brace-and-bit? Touch these things and the soul and spirituality of the metal and wood are instantly transmitted through the hand. Old??? Who cares? These things are wonderful. Dbase II was wonderful, in its way. Go to Williams and Sonoma and buy a stainless steel ladle for about fifteen bucks and feel a QUALITY tool. Sometimes you DO get what you pay for!!! Quality is instantly evident and (for the most part) impossible to fake. PeopleSoft is CRAP. A bigger resource hog (money, people, hardware, network bandwidth, you name it) has never been seen on this planet. Presumably we all earn our living from this golden pig and we complain gently amongst ourselves and never let the outside world see us sweat. We get used to the absolute stupidity of this program very quickly because getting it to do any USEFUL work is a full time job. When was the last time anyone here was stupid enough to hit the EMPLID drop-down box on a simple people look-up. You would think that the boys and girls in PLEASANTVILLE would have done something about this little quirk a few years ago. I agree that this is, in fact, the real dawn of the information age and we have to cut some slack to the truly pioneering software of our age. But let us compare two data front-end pioneers: Peoplesoft and Ebay. True, Ebay has its share of major crashes and god knows it can be a bit slow at times. But as a database, it is a marvel of the modern world. Consider: millions of people accessing data AT THE SAME TIME over primitive networks; complex searches and queries being performed by retired school-bus drivers; a society of pornographers and beanie baby collectors all living harmoniously under the banner of capitalism and fun. The differences when compared to Peoplesoft are breathtaking. Think Peoplesoft is pretty slick? Try discussing the nuances of an outer-join query, using MS SQL server, with a peoplesoft "instructor", sometime. Hey, the code is SIMPLE once you get the hang of it!

At PiggiBank, where I used to work, the app was customized to such an extent that it was tough to lay blame at PS for the incredible performance problems we had. Now I work in HIGHER ED. The product lacks a certain refinement which some find "challenging" and others find "maddening". My institution is attempting to use PS out of the box: NO MODS, whatever. What a hoot. Ebay may be a bad analogy for the reasons you cite. But my sense of Ebay is that some smart people are taking a close look at its customer base and building a front end which supports a "diverse" user group as well as drives the mother of all databases. The stock price is off about 50% on news of reduced earnings expectations. A large university is suing the company for misrepresentation. Universities, unafraid of shareholder lawsuits, routinely and publicly criticize the company for beta-testing its products on its (heavily) paying customers.

Let me suggest an alternative: Ask your team to keep track of the time they spend on each task, then ask the folks who work together on each task to allocate credit among themselves for the completed work (for example, if an analyst wrote the requirements document, a programmer created and unit tested the modification, and a subject matter expert did the acceptance testing and wrote user procedures, they might decide to split it 30% / 40% / 30%). This may require some training and supervision, as just about every team has at least a few players who think the world will end without them. Now, figure the value of the modification, and split it among them. Then multiply the hours each person spent, times their loaded hourly rate (don't forget to include support costs and their portion of the rent) to get their individual costs. Compare the added value to the cost, and reward accordingly. There are two difficult parts to this approach: figuring the value of the modification, which hardly anyone does (few IT projects would survive cost justification), and getting your people to work on tasks with low economic value, as they will generally want to maximize their scores on anything management decides to measure (a psychological holdover from school days). Which explains why most managers decide to measure (and reward) effort, and many employees with low self-esteem feel guilty about working only 40 hours a week, taking sick days, vacations, etc. and never quite feel any satisfaction in their achievements.

IT DOES : : WORK! : : : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to : : try it. A little : : : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, : : just like you are now, : : : and came across an article similar to this that : : said you could make : : : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an : : initial investment of : : : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a : : scam", but : : : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept : : reading. Anyway, it said : : : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and : : address stated in the : : : article. You then place your own name and : : address in the bottom of : : : the list at #6, and post the article in at least : : 200 newsgroups. : : : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So : : after thinking it : : : over, and talking to a few people first, I : : thought about trying it. I : : : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 : : stamps and $6.00, : : : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well : : GUESS WHAT!?... : : : within 7 days, I started getting money in the : : mail! I was shocked! I : : : figured it would end soon, but the money just : : kept coming in. In my : : : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of : : the second week I had : : : made a total of over $1,000.00!

This is now : : my fourth week and I : : : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and : : it's still coming in : : : rapidly. It's certainlyworth $6.00, and 6 : : stamps, I have spent more : : : than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how : : this works and most : : : importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you : : print a copy of this : : : article NOW, so you can get the information off : : of it as you need it. : : : I promise you that if you follow the directions : : exactly, that you : : : will start making more money than you thought : : possible by doing : : : something so easy! : : : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! : : (print it out or : : : download it.)

Many : : large corporations are : : : happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. : : However, the money made : : : from the mailing lists is secondary to the : : income which is made from : : : people like you and me asking to be included in : : that list. : : : Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : : : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write : : the following on : : : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR : : MAILING LIST." Now : : : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH : : of the 6 pieces of : : : paper so the bill will not be seen through the : : envelope (to prevent : : : thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the : : 6 envelopes and seal : : : them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, : : each with a piece of : : : paper stating the above phrase, your name and : : address, and a $1.00 : : : bill. What you are doing is creating a service. : : THIS IS ABSOLUTELY : : : LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service : : and you are paying for : : : it!

Now, post your : : amended article to at : : : least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close : : to 24,000 groups) All : : : you need is 200, but remember, the more you : : post, the more money you : : : make! You won't get very much unless you post : : like crazy. :) : : : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, : : refer to Title 18 : : : Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : : : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, : : whenever you need money, : : : you can use it again, and again. : : : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains : : successful because of the : : : honesty and integrity of the participants and by : : their carefully : : : adhering to the directions.

Fill in the Subject, this : : will be the header that : : : everyone sees as they scroll through the list of : : postings in a : : : particular group, click the post message button. : : You're done with : : : your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All : : you have to do is : : : jump to different newsgroups and post away, : : after you get the hang of : : : it, it will take about 30 seconds for each : : newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE : : : MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU : : WILL MAKE! BUT : : : : YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! : : You will begin receiving : : : money from around the world within days! You may : : eventually want to : : : rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail : : you will receive. If : : : you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a : : name to use, as long as : : : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE : : ALL THE ADDRESSESARE : : : CORRECT.** : : : Now, : : : each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 : : make the MINIMUM 200 : : : postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 : : persons respond to each : : : of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for : : me, now those 25 each : : : make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and : : only 5 replies each, I : : : will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those : : 125 persons turn : : : around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at : : #3 and only receive 5 : : : replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! : : OK, now here is the : : : fun part, each of those 625 persons post a : : MINIMUM 200 letters with : : : my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 : : replies, that just made me : : : $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all : : deliver this message to 200 : : : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 : : persons per 200 : : : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With : : an original : : : investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your : : name is no longer on the : : : list, you just take the latest posting in the : : newsgroups, and send : : : out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting : : your name at number 6 : : : again. And start posting again. The thing to : : remember is: do you : : : realize that thousands of people all over the : : world are joining the : : : internet and reading these articles everyday?, : : JUST LIKE YOU are : : : now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it : : really works?? I think : : : so... People have said, "what if the plan is : : played out and no : : : one sends you the money? So what! What are the : : chances of that : : : happening when there are tons of new honest : : users and new honest : : : people who are joining the internet and : : newsgroups everyday and are : : : willing to give it a try?

A little : : : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, : : just like you are now, : : : and came across an article similar to this that : : said you could make : : : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an : : initial investment of : : : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a : : scam", but : : : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept : : reading. Anyway, it said : : : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and : : address stated in the : : : article. You then place your own name and : : address in the bottom of : : : the list at #6, and post the article in at least : : 200 newsgroups. : : : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So : : after thinking it : : : over, and talking to a few people first, I : : thought about trying it. I : : : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 : : stamps and $6.00, : : : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well : : GUESS WHAT!?... : : : within 7 days, I started getting money in the : : mail! I was shocked! I : : : figured it would end soon, but the money just : : kept coming in. In my : : : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of : : the second week I had : : : made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third : : week I had over : : : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now : : my fourth week and I : : : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and : : it's still coming in : : : rapidly. It's certainlyworth $6.00, and 6 : : stamps, I have spent more : : : than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how : : this works and most : : : importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you : : print a copy of this : : : article NOW, so you can get the information off : : of it as you need it. : : : I promise you that if you follow the directions : : exactly, that you : : : will start making more money than you thought : : possible by doing : : : something so easy! : : : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! : : (print it out or : : : download it.)

This program remains : : successful because of : : : the honesty and integrity of the participants. : : Please continue its : : : success by carefully adhering to the : : instructions. : : : You will now become part of the Mail Order : : business. In this business : : : your product is not solid and tangible, it's a : : service. You are in : : : the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many : : large corporations are : : : happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. : : However, the money made : : : from the mailing lists is secondary to the : : income which is made from : : : people like you and me asking to be included in : : that list. : : : Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : : : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write : : the following on : : : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR : : MAILING LIST." Now : : : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH : : of the 6 pieces of : : : paper so the bill will not be seen through the : : envelope (to prevent : : : thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the : : 6 envelopes and seal : : : them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, : : each with a piece of : : : paper stating the above phrase, your name and : : address, and a $1.00 : : : bill. What you are doing is creating a service. : : THIS IS ABSOLUTELY : : : LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service : : and you are paying for : : : it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and : : a little worried : : : about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked : : it out with the U.S. : : : Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed : : that it is indeed : : : legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following : : addresses: : : : : : : : : : #1)M. Wagster : : : 76 Star Circle : : : Dyersburg, TN 38024 : : : : : #2)L. Johnson : : : 85 Atherton Circle : : : Pittsburg, CA 94565 : : : : : #3)A. Young : : : 5560 Hillcrest Dr. : : : Union City, GA 30291 : : : : : #4)J.

Bishop : : 1029 Lampton St. : : Louisville, Ky, 40204 : : : : : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that : : you see above, move : : : the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, : : etc...) and add YOUR : : : Name as number 6 on the list. : : : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to : : keep this article as : : : close to original as possible. Now, post your : : amended article to at : : : least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close : : to 24,000 groups) All : : : you need is 200, but remember, the more you : : post, the more money you : : : make! You won't get very much unless you post : : like crazy. :) : : : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, : : refer to Title 18 : : : Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : : : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, : : whenever you need money, : : : you can use it again, and again. : : : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains : : successful because of the : : : honesty and integrity of the participants and by : : their carefully : : : adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. : : If you are of : : : integrity, the program will continue and the : : money that so many : : : others have received will come your way. : : : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and : : address sent to you, : : : either on a computer or hard copy and keep the : : notes people send you. : : : This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a : : service. (Also, it might : : : be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper : : to reduce the risk : : : of mail theft.) : : : So, as each post is downloaded and the : : directions carefully followed, : : : six members will be reimbursed for their : : participation as a List : : : Developer with one dollar each. Your name will : : move up the list : : : geometrically so that when your name reaches the : : #1 position you will : : : be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! : : What an opportunity for : : : only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six : : people listed above) Send : : : it now, add your own name to the list and you're : : in business! : : : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO : : NEWSGROUPS------------ : : : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire : : letter to do your own : : : posting.

BUT : : : : YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! : : You will begin receiving : : : money from around the world within days! You may : : eventually want to : : : rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail : : you will receive. If : : : you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a : : name to use, as long as : : : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE : : ALL THE ADDRESSESARE : : : CORRECT.** : : : Now, : : : each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 : : make the MINIMUM 200 : : : postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 : : persons respond to each : : : of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for : : me, now those 25 each : : : make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and : : only 5 replies each, I : : : will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those : : 125 persons turn : : : around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at : : #3 and only receive 5 : : : replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! : : OK, now here is the : : : fun part, each of those 625 persons post a : : MINIMUM 200 letters with : : : my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 : : replies, that just made me : : : $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all : : deliver this message to 200 : : : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 : : persons per 200 : : : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!

So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it : : really works?? I think : : : so... People have said, "what if the plan is : : played out and no : : : one sends you the money? So what! What are the : : chances of that : : : happening when there are tons of new honest : : users and new honest : : : people who are joining the internet and : : newsgroups everyday and are : : : willing to give it a try?

Because we have always been an AS400 shop, we are having a difficult time of selecting what platform/OS configuration we want to migrate to. However, we got some information from Peoplesoft as to what platform/OS/RDBMS the majority of their clients is on. Platforms are: HP,Suns,IBM,Compaq. The OS are: Unix and NT. The RDBMS are: Oracle, MSSQL, DB2 (Universal(new)). Off the list we are interested in the following: HP, SUNS, Compaq NT, Oracle, MSSQL 7. Can anybody who's faced with this type of problems (selection) from passed share with us the following: 1. What is your resource for help. 2. Any Success/horror stories. 3. Your overall experience (implementation, production, performance) 4. Your decision to select -- ie. an Oracle over SQL, an HP over Suns, Unix over NT.

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article.

And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) Sherry Beth 345 Pacific Ave. N. #DD7 Pacific, WA 98047 : #2) Joseph Erickson 16050 Hare Creek Road, Corry, PA 16407 : #3) Katherine Mohatt Lewis & Clark College 0615 S.W Palatine Hill Rd Box 1268 Portland OR 97219: #4) R. Blair 418 10th Ave N.W. Calgary, Alberta T2M-0B5 #5) Fabien Thillet 1836 Beach Drive, Box 36 Gulfport 39507, MS : #6) Rod Auerbach, 74 Regina Road, Monsey, New York 10952. STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ STEP 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. STEP 3) Save your new notepad file as a text file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. STEP 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) STEP 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. : ***************** End Of Article ****************** Pamela Jordan posted Message 354 in Message Board Dated : July 24, 2000 at 15:38:59 EST Subject: PeopleSoft Reports don't print to HP8100 Hello, The platforms I'm running PeopleSoft(6.12.11) on is a NT Workstation.

If the instance you need is NOT in the security table then it will still be omitted because you can not force the outer join on the security table. Other possible work arounds are: 1). Use a union instead. But this can get very big and messy. 2). Use sub-queries and then bring it all together in Crystal. P.S. If anyone knows how to perform an outer join with SQL-Server please let me know.

I could also garner 4 consultants in Baan Projects even before the launch of the site. I hope to obtain a favorable response from other modules also. New features added to this site in this release! ----------------------------------------------- * New sections for Baan Projects, Oracle Projects, Peoplesoft Projects and J.D.Edward Projects are now available. I intend creating a community network for Baan Projects, Oracle Projects, Peoplesoft Projects and J.D.Edwards Projects. * A unique discussion forum/mailing list facility wherein consultants can discuss their queries. * Articles on interfacing ERPs with other project management softwares have been included * A tie-up with Amazon.com enables consultants to purchase books online * Links to other related sites and much more... Under construction (but shall be launched shortly) --------------------------------------------------- * Section on free downloads : Presently this section contains documents by organizations pertaining to the SAP PS module. Other module details will soon follow. I am in constant touch with other organizations for the same. * Details on Web Based and industry specific Project Management softwares. I have many more ideas which I plan to put forth soon.

It could be anywhere from your worstation to the dbms server. I've just gone through a large scale performance test and you could have issues in any number fo places. Here are some key hot spots: 1. Workstations make a big difference. Anything less that a P133 with 32 mb is a disaster. 2. File location makes a difference. PeopleSoft puts a lot of stress on file servers. Running from a local hard drive can make a big difference - especially if your file server is heavily used or you're on a slow lan. Never run off a file server across a wan. A good indication of poor fileserver or workstation performance is if takes a long time for the logon panel to come up. That's all local and does not interact with the app server. 3. The wan makes a difference. Make sure you have both bandwidth and low latency. Latency is the time it takes for packets to get from source to target. Sattelite hops, for example, can have a big effect on latency. There's a lot of needless crap going between the workstation and the app server. These are serial transmissions, so one has to end before the next begins. In a random session I analyzed there were 407 one-way transmissions between app server and worstation. Of those only four were business related sql. You can have all the bandwidth in the world. If your latency is poor, so will your performance be. 4. The app and database server hosts make a differenc. Make sure there are no page outs. If there are, you need more memory. Make sure you are not maxed out on cpu. Make sure you have a high speed - preferrably dedicated - connection between them. Make sure the hosts are well tuned. 5. The number of connections threads between app server and the datbase make a difference. This is a hard one to spot directly. A network sniffer (see below) can help. 6. Make sure your database statistics are up to date and that you rebuild your indexes regularly. Check your db caching rates and disk I/O. If they are poor then partitition your data across disks and/or get more memory. 7. If you have a complex security tree you could be spending a lot of time traversing it. A good place to start is a network sniffer between your app server and the world at large - including the dbms. It'll help pinpoint where your delays are. Good luck.

I am not sure about the specifics but we base our judgement on the type of query and the time it takes to run successfully. Query security is used to give/take access to certain information depending upon the operator class. You should select a Query Security Record to secure access to a particular record using a security view. This means the users view a particular record/table via a security view which hogs a lot of processor time. The PSoft queries can be run in no time by removing these views and directly accessing the table/record. This can be achieved on the application front end. For Ex: PERS_SRCH_QRY is a query security view for table PERS_NID. When users use this table/record in their query, it takes a long time to get results. Therefore in PeopleTools you delete this security view from the PERS_NID table properties. How ? PeopleTools - File - Open - Record - PERS_NID - Properties - Use - Query Security Record: Delete PERS_SRCH_QRY and save the record definition. It is easy to acheive but 2 things have to be kept in mind. 1. DELETE CACHE after saving the changed record/table properties. 2. IF you delete this view, you should be aware that any user(operator class) who has access to query can view any data in that reocrd/table. If the query is not used quite often then the query security view can be put back in place(record/table properties) after the query is run. We have lot of Operator Classes and very few power users who have access to running queries. ********************* I hope this peice of information helps!

So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it : all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's : certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! : Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a : piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1] Johnny : P.O. Box 203 : Norwalk, Ca. 90651 #2) Grant : P.O.Box 703394 : New Smyrna Beach, FL 32170 #3) Lisa : 57 Hampton Oaks Drive : Hampton, GA 30228 #4] A. Furman : 8747 bay parkway, apt 2c : Brooklyn, NY 11214 #5) Travis P.O. Box 815 Gig Harbor, WA 98335 #6) Oussama: 7268 St. Auburn Dr.: Bloomfield, MI 48301 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS -----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your : cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line : forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin reciving money from around the world within days! You may eventually wany to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as : long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional : $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you : the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Donna-Lynn posted Message 459 in Message Board Dated : January 16, 2001 at 13:49:03 EST Subject: Time and Labour Module I am looking for some assistance with the Time and Labour module.

State any assumptions made in developing the diagram. Western Metropolitan College Western Metropolitan College (WMC) is a large multi-campus college, which currently operates in three different locations. Each campus specializes in a number of different teaching areas with no overlap of teaching areas between campuses. This means that each course offered by a department is only taught at one particular campus. The college requires a database system to keep track of: · The courses and subjects offered by the various departments at each campus; · Student enrolments; · Student final assessment and grades; and · Personal details about the lecturers employed by the college and details about the subjects they teach. Campuses are identified by an ID and are given the names related to their geographical locations. They are · CC – City Central Campus · NR – Northern Rivers Campus · DH – Darling Hills Campus Each campus has a fixed number of departments, for example, CC campus has the Departments of Computing, Business, Office and Secretarial, Law and Engineering. The start date of operation of each campus is of interest. Each department has a certain number of lecturers, is managed by a head of department, assisted by one or more senior lecturers and has a budget for each financial year. Each lecturer reports to one senior lecturer and senior lecturers report to head of department. Departments are free to offer various courses to meet the demand of the community, for example, the Computing Department offers the Certificate of Information Technology (CIT), the Advanced CIT (ACIT) and, a Diploma IT in Computer Applications (DITCA). The current course offerings need to be distinguished from those courses not currently offered. Each course has number of core units and electives, which a student has to complete to earn the relevant qualification. Some subjects are part of more than one course, for example, Introduction to Database Systems may be a core unit in ACIT and DITCA courses and an elective in the Advanced Diploma in Electronic Engineering (ADEE). Subjects are uniquely identified by a subject index number (SIN) and all have subject titles such as ‘Introduction to Database Systems’. Some subjects may have one or more prerequisites. The following data about courses are of interest: Course ID (unique), course description, course duration, campus where this course is offered and job types to which it is aimed. Students attempt a range of subjects over the years to complete the course(s) in which they are enrolled. They are not allowed to enroll in more than two courses. The system needs to store details about the student’s ID (unique), name, address, telephone number (home and work as applicable), gender, DOB, course(s) enrolled, subjects enrolled (past and present), enrolment status (part-time or full-time) and grades received. When students enroll for subjects, they are placed on a roll. Currently, WMC uses a manual roll form. Investigation of this form has revealed that rolls are uniquely identified by a roll ID (for an example, 12345A) and contain such details as start and finish dates of the session, day of the week on which the subject is taught, start time, duration in hours, room number in which the subject is taught; SIN and subject name as well as the lecturer’s ID and name. Details to be held about each lecturer include the name, address, telephone number (home and work as applicable), data started, qualifications, subjects they are currently teaching and the subjects which they are qualified to teach without additional staff development. Because of specialization, each lecturer is assigned to a particular department within a campus and teaches subjects only at that campus. The college employs three types of lecturers – full-time, fractional-time and casual. Every semester, an examiner and co-examiner are appointed for each subject by the responsible head of department to set the exam for that subject. An examiner may examine more than one subject and be co-examiner for more than one subject, but can never be examiner and co-examiner for the same-subject in one semester. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Danny Dunn posted Message 474 in Message Board Dated : February 09, 2001 at 23:49:39 EST Subject: PeopleSoft auditing Is there a PeopleSoft solution for tracking changes made to PeopleSoft HR data stored in an Oracle database? ***************** End Of Article ****************** Aasia Haroon posted Message 475 in Message Board Dated : February 12, 2001 at 09:00:55 EST Subject: Re: Entity Relationship Diagram Can anyone help me with the following scenario i need to erd for this: In a group medical practice each doctor has many patients registered but a pateitn can only register with one doctor.

Don't get skeptical yet, just read the letter and then decide if you want to invest a lousy $6!! This is mY second time. doing this and I can't beileve it but it really does work. HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND: : READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, : and came across an article similar to this that said you could make : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the : article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of : the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it : over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... : within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I : figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had : made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in : rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more : than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most : importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this : article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. : I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you : will start making more money than you thought possible by doing : something so easy! : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or : download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come : in! : It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus : postage) : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not : illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive : extraordinary dividends. : PLEASE NOTE: : Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be : yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of : the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its : success by carefully adhering to the instructions. : You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business : your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in : the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are : happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made : from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from : people like you and me asking to be included in that list. : Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of : paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent : thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal : them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of : paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 : bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY : LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for : it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried : about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. : Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed : legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: : #1) Jason Williamson 202 Park Dr. Ada, OK 74820 : #2) Dennis E. Ribble RR3 Box 32-1B Benton, PA 17814 : #3) Tim Baldwin RR3 Box 304 Inwood, WV 25428 : #4) Lynn Reese 3212 Mesa Ave. Clifton, CO 81520 : #5) Matt Kearney 22 Reardonsfield La. North Attleboro, MA 02763 : #6) Jeff Earhart 18480 Rory Ln. Cottonwood, CA 96022 : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move : the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR : Name as number 6 on the list. : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as : close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at : least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All : you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you : make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :) : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 : Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, : you can use it again, and again. : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the : honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully : adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of : integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many : others have received will come your way. : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, : either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. : This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might : be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk : of mail theft.) : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, : six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List : Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list : geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will : be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for : only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send : it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own : posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and : drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' : from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the : computer's memory. : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top : of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will : paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name : to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If : you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always : have this file to go back to. : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for : various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, : discussions.) : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new : message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste : from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that : everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a : particular group, click the post message button. You're done with : your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is : jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of : it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE : MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU : HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving : money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to : rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If : you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE : CORRECT.** : Each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 : postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each : of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each : make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I : will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn : around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 : replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the : fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with : my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me : $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original : investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the : list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send : out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 : again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you : realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the : internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are : now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think : so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no : one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that : happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest : people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are : willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new : users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual : internet.

I was really broke and down till I tried this. Now I smile everyday! Wouldn't you want to do that? MAKE MONEY FAST AND EASY HURRY!!!! Make Money Fast A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, but I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. The main difference between this system and others is that you have a mailing list of 6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be app. 15 times higher!!! So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00.............plus postage Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly....... It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 N. Sturdivant, 2674 Seneca ct. Green Bay, WI 54313 USA #2 N.Hampton ,14807-89St Edmonton,Alberta,T5E-3K8 Canada #3 Shely DeShazer, 4299 Chrysalis Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89121 USA #4 Julia Burries, 5660 Flowes Store rd, Concod NC 28025 USA #5 Sara Bowen, 37 Odonnell Ave, MT Albert, Auckland,New Zealand #6 Harin Varen, Blk 405 Yishun Ave 6, #09-1332, Singapore 760405 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. (Use your 'delete" key to remove name #1 and move all other names up. Then change numbers and add your name as #6) STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS ------------------------------------------------ Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and click and hold down your mouse button. While continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the bottom of this document and over to just after the last character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's positions), and add yourself in as #6. Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'. Step 5. Fill in the subject. Step 6. Same as #6 above Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button. ------------------------------------------- THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #6 $15.00 at #5 $225.00 at #4 $3,375.00 at #3 $50,625.00 at #2 $759,375.00 at #1 $11,390,625.00 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. TRUST ME IT DOES WORK! I am sure this will work out, try it and see. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Sarat posted Message 497 in Message Board Dated : March 09, 2001 at 12:36:09 EST Subject: How to do SQR via laptop?

I connect to AT&T via my home phone and then to the central line and then to the network. My SQRW.exe is loaded on the network.

Sarat, You do not need SQRW in your laptop to connect to AS400. You can use SQLTalk from Centura to do this. But of course you have ODBC loaded in your laptop. There are other options which I have done before: 1. Use PCAnywhere between your laptop and your PC at work. Assuming that you have your PC always ON and in Sign-on screen when you leave the office, Once you dial to your PC, you will now have captured whatever screen in your PC.

We even loaded assets from history and everything went along fairly smoothly for a bit. However, if you try to retire or transfer assets you begin to encounter some problems. There is a rounding problem. Sometimes you are left with assets that are retired, are no longer depreciating and yet have a penny +/- on the books. Transfers may have the problem on either side of the transfer, both source and/or destination. There are also various reports (all seem to be cloned from a standard template) that do not correctly calculate. Some of the problem seems to be that accumulated depreciation is not stored with the asset but recalculated every period from the DEPRECIATION table and the DEPR_ALLOC_TBL. Sometimes two reports come up with two different numbers when reporting the same data. PeopleSoft is rewriting the entire AM module under Release 8. After fighting with them and the problem for a couple of years, they have given up and declared the problems unfixable. They have admited that the problem is in the design concept. We tend to hit the DIST_LN with a hammer on a monthly basis just to get everything to agree.
