Differences between SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST( Representational State Transfer).

-

The differences between SOAP and REST are:-

 RESTful web services and SOAP both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. A REST web service, for example, is often a superior choice when time is of the essence, while SOAP triumphs in designing the services with various,non-CRUD methods. Unless otherwise specified by the Web Services provider, the type of web service implemented by a partner is determined by the company's requirements. Amazon and eBay both employ web services for REST and SOAP. And, as more firms become service focused and experiment with new features, they will be forced to accommodate both types.


SOAP

  • It stands for Simple Object Access Protocol.
  • It is an XML-based messaging protocol.
  • It needs more bandwidth and resources for better web performance.
  • SOAP enforces XML as a message format.
  • It has not great performance as compared to REST.
  • SOAP defines its security.
  • It does not support error handling. 
  • SOAP is a heavyweight XML protocol that requires more coding to send a message.
  • It cannot be cached.
  • SOAP messages are wrapped in an envelope and sent to any transport mechanism such as SMTP, FTP, HTTP, or any protocol.


REST 

  • It stands for Representational State Transfer.
  • It is not a protocol. It is an architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems. REST requires less bandwidth and resources as compared to SOAP. 
  • It is not specifically applied that the message format must be XML or JSON, etc. 
  • It has better performance as compared to SOAP, is less CPU intensive, has lesser code, etc. 
  • REST inherits security measures from the underlying transport. 
  • It has built-in error handling.
  • It is lightweight, scalable, and maintainable.
  • It can be cached.
  • It relies on the HTTP protocol for communication between two machines.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

Network topology Network topology refers to how the nodes and links in a network are arranged. A network node is a device that can send, receive, store, or forward data. A network link connects nodes and may be either cabled or wireless links. Understanding topology types provides the basis for building a successful network. There are a number of topologies but the most common are bus, ring, star, and mesh: A bus network topology is when every network node is directly connected to a main cable. In a ring topology, nodes are connected in a loop, so each device has exactly two neighbors. Adjacent pairs are connected directly; non-adjacent pairs are connected indirectly through multiple nodes. In a star network topology, all nodes are connected to a single, central hub and each node is indirectly connected through that hub.  A mesh topology is defined by overlapping connections between nodes. You can create a full mesh topology, where every node in the network is connected to every other
