Advantages of HANA over BWA

Hi,
I am currently working on my thesis on the topic SAP BW on SAP HANA.
One of the topics that i want to emphasize is on the technical and the functional advantages of HANA over BWA.
P.S: I have collected some points after going through most of your discussions but i would welcome your opinions on the same.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joe

Interesting Question.
As far a an opinion is concerned;
I posed this question to a Google search.
" what are functional advantages SAP BW vs SAP HANA   "
The Resultant listing.
[   https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=what%20are%20functional%20advantages%20SAP%20BW%20vs%20SAP%20HANA       ]
The first url answer is; Why SAP-HANA should start replacing BW!, SCN 2012.
The third; Does HANA Replace BW, (hint NO).
As you are writing an academic paper this could be the answer. My opinion there are none, no advantages.
From a current global ROI business perspective list the pros and cons for each, SAP BW and SAP HANA. My own opinion ten pros for SAP HANA;
1) Newer technology
2) Easier to deploy in the cloud
3) More head room, going forward bigger OLTP capacity.
4) Simple presentation of end result to you customer.
5) Show the customer an iPad with the solution running.
6) Show a youTube video with the SAP HANA cloud solution running
in side an e-mail.
7)   SAP HANA cloud solution is more affordable to smaller companys, $10 million to $100 million annual sales.
8)   A cloud deployment of SAP HANA localized by region based on language and culture.
9) I prefer SAP HANA cloud and mobile application deployment.
10) Current market conditions are move to mobile applications.
There are plenty of consultants that will point out the flaws in the above. And we can reduce the question to a matter of semantics.
But I hope this helps you and you can use it.

What is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding?

what is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding,that means if we are able to to create object at different instances at diff time for that sub class reff variable than what is the need of careating object of super class data type(i.e why always it is necessary to have upcasting for polymorphism?but if we can achive the same output without upcasting).....please tell me..lets have complete discuss..

Seriously though....
WebLogic (for which I have deployed many apps on) as
well as Websphere are both high end Java application
servers, meaning J2EE servers (in short). They allow
one to deploy Enterprise Archive(EAR), a Web
Archive(WAR), or an EJB Archive (in a JR file).
These two servers allow one to deploy EJBs, use
e JNDI, JMS, connectors, and other J2EE technologies
- Tomcat does not. well, EJBs - no
JNDI, yes - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
JMS - yes (with an implementation, such as ActiveMQ: http://activemq.codehaus.org/Tomcat)
Not sure what you mean by "connectors".
Tomcat provides quite a bit of functionality (but yes, no EJBs)

Advantage of DMS over "Services for object" functionality

Hi Experts,
I have got very basic doubt about advantages of DMS Over existing standard functionality of SAP.
We can attach documents or files to SAP Objects using "services for object" push button ( Next to title bar).
So please answer for my below queries
1. What is the disadvantage of using Services for Object??
2. If I use services for object, then file is stored in SAP Data base or in my local drive??
Thanks and Regards,

Hello ,
DMS Vs GOS
DMS- Document Management System
The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP R/3 offers the following distinct advantages over the current procedures and systems.
u2022     It avoids data redundancy, maintains consistency of data and minimizes the workload involved in entering and updating data.
u2022     In order to use large databases to the full, it is required to exchange data quickly and securely. Data can be accessed directly using electronic search tools, or find documents using known parameters.
u2022     Document distribution functionality (SAP-Workflow functionality is required)
The SAP R/3 Document Management System meets all these demanding requirements. In addition to managing documents, it also coordinates document processing. It is possible to automate the entire life cycle of a document: from document creation to document storage, its access and its update. Each document can be accessed immediately from any computer on the netwerk.
GOS-
All these DMS advantages are not available with GOS.

Advantages of BPC over BI-IP

Dear All,
I am new to BPC NW and would like your expert views on some of my observations on the much debated advantages of BPC over BI IP.
One of the benefits of BI IP was the integrated reporting capabilities with a common master data and combining the transaction data (actual and budget). However, as I understand BPC is intentionally not integrated with backend BW.
BW master data is different and separate from BPC master data, thus it is not possible to integrate BPC cubes with BW cubes. To view an actual vs plan comparison, data would need to be copied / loaded back and forth between the BW cubes and BPC cubes. However, it does not seem practical in scenarios where planning requires significant amount of actual data. Moreover, this would mean multiple reporting interfaces for the users.
BPC will be driven by Business users.
What is it that we are empowering the business users with? The ability to define his own dimensions / applications/ dimension members / Input schedules?
Usually planning requirement is not just a simple input enabled screen. There are many more functionalities that would be required which would need writing of logic, code etc. Loading of master / transaction data requires creation of transformation, conversion files and data packages. Obviously, these tasks would not be done by the business users.
To be honest, I am slightly concerned over giving the business user a free reign on creating objects in the system. Without proper training, things could get out of hand with duplicate objects popping up everywhere in the system. Another area of concern is possibility of modeling same data differently in BPC and BW. It might cause complexities while integrating the data between the two
BPC seem to be targeted to facilitate financial planning. However, we require planning for areas outside finance (headcount, volume allocation / distribution etc). I would have assumed that a reporting application of Type u2018Genericu2019 would have the flexibility to include only the required dimensions as opposed to having to include the standard dimensions of type A, E, T and C.
When compared to BI IP, I am not sure if BPC NW in its current form would be the best tool to deliver integrated planning in multiple areas.
Having said that, these are still early days for BPC NW. Hopefully we will see a tighter integration of BPC NW with BW and more flexible planning in non-financial areas in the future releases.

Thank you for your statement regarding the issues of using BPC in the context of BW. I very much appreciate your excellent comments.
Also thank you for providing the link to the statement about the advantages of using BPC because of the Excel user interface. It certainly does appear that SAP marketing is trying to get customers to move to Business Objects and BPC. Of course, it would be a strong advantage to be able to leverage the existing skills of Excel users.
We already own Integrated Planning and it appears to satisfy the immediate business requirements. We would have to pay for the software licences for BPC, which we don't currently own. Of course, we don't want to pay for these BPC licenses when we already own the IP licenses that will satisfy the requirements.
In addition, it indeed looks as though SAP is positioning BPC to use the Business Objects universe. Although we know that, eventually, we will probably have to convert to selected components of Business Objects for business intelligence, we don't want to have to once again make another substantial investment in SAP business intelligence when we so recently made such a large investment in the SAP Business Information Warehouse. We will have not yet earned our return on investment on the Business Informastion Warehouse.
Given the timing, we don't think it is fair that SAP expects companies to once again have to pay for the business intelligence software and to implement Business Objects, convert from the Business Information Warehouse to Business Objects, redevelop, retrain, and redeploy all the reports using the Business Objects tools. The customers will incur additional costs because of the reimplementation, conversion, redevelopment, retaining, and redeployment of the reports. Without this kind of consideration, in these economic times, it will be difficult for the installed base of companies to justify the conversion to Business Objects, and, consequently, for SAP to realize a reasonable return on its, not insignificant, investment in Business Objects.
SAP should provide an existing customer of the components of the Business Information Warehouse a migration path to the corresponding Business Objects components of comparable capabilities at no additional license fee as long as the customer is current on its maintenance. Of course, adjustments in the license fees and annual maintenance fees should be made if there are differences in functional and/or quality capabilities between the corresponding components of the Business Information Warehouse and Business Objects.
In our situation, we already and recently made a significant investment in the Business Information Warehouse and the Business Explorer (BEx) tools, implementation, and reports development. We don't want to have to pay to replace them with Business Objects. We thought we already paid big-time for the business intelligence tools and reports. We even paid for the BI Accelerator and have been very happy with its dramatic improvement on performance. We fear that a commitment to BPC may soon commit us to Business Objects, the latter of which, so far, carries a very large price.

Advantages of java over c++

Hello to all.
Can you please point me out some advantages on using java instead of C++?
For example having the garbage collector (java) instead of cancelling by hand the objects created (c++) slows down a little the execution of the program but prevents of cancelling object still in use.
What about the impossibility of multi-inheritance and overloading of the operators?
The fact that there are no header files has an advantage?
Is it true that thread priorities and scheduling are not portable?
Is it true that there are not templates in Java?
Packages offered by java do substitude for example the STL c++ templates?
Are there any other evident advantages of java over C++
I apreciate any hint and opinion
Thanks in advance
Mandy

Hi,
What about the impossibility of multi-inheritance and
overloading of the operators?Doesn't matter that much. And bad programmer can write bad code in any language.
The fact that there are no header files has an
advantage?It might be a bit easier, but it doesn't matter that much.
Is it true that thread priorities and scheduling are
not portable?Yes
Is it true that there are not templates in Java?Yes, and no. There are generics in JDK 1.5.
Packages offered by java do substitude for example the
STL c++ templates?I'd say that this is the big difference.
In java It's very easy to develop a full blown application with networking, and ui in a short time. I don't have any links to provide (but I guess you could use google to find facts), but I think the development time in java is much shorted than in c++.
Are there any other evident advantages of java over
C++It's easier to run the java application on multiple platforms. The advantage to c++ is that it can be used to write drivers, applications with small footprints, and to access native functions/APIs to the platform.

Advantages of VISA over GPIB

i want to know advantages of VISA over GPIB in labview when we connect our pc with a device which has GPIB interface
what could be reason behind using VISA programming
i want atleast 5 advantages of visa over GPIB .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
1.VISA Write is equivalent to a GPIB write except the VISA Write returns a VISA Reference Out that is much easier to use. You pass that to the next VISA function instead of wiring a GPIB address to all.This will make your blockdiagram cleaner.
2.portability:-VISA supports GPIB, Serial, Ethernet, USB, PXI, VXI, and PCI. So, with a single piece of code, you can support all of the interfaces and even GPIB controllers from different vendors.
3.VISA supports aliases. You can assign logical names to the resources. Instead of trying to remember the GPIB address in a rack full of instruments, you can reference 'DMM', 'Scope', etc.
4. If you are programming multiple devices that communicate over more than one bus type, it might be easier to use VISA for your entire system.
5. In VISA, you must always call viEnableEvent() prior to being allowed to receive events, this is required in VISA to avoid the race condition of trying to wait on events for which the hardware may not be enabled.
6.The VISA Resource Control allows you to pick from a list of available resources.
Enough
Thanks as kudos only

Advantages of LSMW over BDC

<b>What are the advantages of LSMW over BDC ? In which context we would be using LSMW ?</b>
( as per my idea ,LSMW doesnt require any coding and would be used by functional consultants.<b>Apart from this any other advantages of using LSMW ?</b> )

Hi,
Apart from the advantages that you mentined in your question,
we can directly process LSMW with the help of IDOC BAPI through LSMW.
And if we create 1 project in LSMW we can create multiple sub projects and in 1 sub project we create multiple objects.
So by this facility we can use the Object and sub project with in the whole project.
And in LSMW we have a very good facility like conversions fixed rules and constant maintaining facility.
So LSMW is far better than using BDC programs.
We have lot of facilities like Auto field mapping and many others .
When we come to use it we know it better.

Advantages of EP over SAP BI Web Reporting

Dear Experts
Can you please share your inputs on Advantages of EP over SAP BI Web Reporting?
Appreciate if you could share any presentations or documents on this.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
PKC

Hi,
They are absolutely different environments. With EP, you can develop WebDynpro Applications, using ABAP or Java, integrate Internet Service, develop applications with Visual Composer, ... It's much more than a reporting environment. You can integrate BI reports on EP, using iviews portal components.
Look these threads:

Advantages of servlets over jsp

in an interview i was asked advantages of servlets over jsp?
i could't answer.what r the advantages?pls reply

hi Taylor,
first thnks for reply.one thing i don't understand clearly is every jsp page is internally converted into a servlet(done by servlet compiler or what ever it might be)ok u said servlets r used more than sending html to browsers,such as web services ,file downloads,etc...
i have a small question here,we can put that particular piece of code even in jsp scriplets.what's different.
pls confirm my dought below...
can i say "in servlets u have control over init method as a programmer",
where as you don't have control _jspinit method as it is generated by the engine(jsp).
if wrong how can i write some thing into _jspinit() method?

Advantages of BSP over Webdynpro ABAP

Hi,,
Can anyone please explain what are the advantages of BSP over WebDynpro ABAP, In what cases do we need to stick with BSP?
Thanks,

Hi,
There is a SAP web GUI map and it contains different technologies as follows:
If you have the SAP screen already available , then the best solution would be to go for the ITS solution(Web Gui).
But if you were to compare the man days required to code a dynpro and a web dynpro screen from scratch then they would approximately be the same.
Yes if you want to leverage on Web Dynpro you will have to currently code all screen from scratch , and encapsulate your backend logic as function modules.
Apart from BSP you have the option to use Portal Development Kit (if you have SAP EP in your landscape) . JSPHTMLB(tag libraries)JCO running on WAS 6.2 or 6.4 or other Java server.
If you have just one screen and currently dont have the WAS 6.4 in your landscape and it would involve delays interms of procurement , setup and training, then its better you go with either of the above solutions depending on the skillsets in your team.
If you can make an FM of your trx, the BSP solution might be the easiest step. No additionial knowledge (except from some HTML(B)) is needed.
Advantages of web dynpro:
Additionally,
I would say if you would want a quantum leap in advantages by preferring a UI solution , then it has to be webdynpro be it ABAP or Java.
Some of the features that I have heard about and noticed as well is
-> Metadata based which means tomorrow SAP could easily support a new client without you not requiring even to change a line of code.
-> Support for Java gui and Win gui for web dynpro coming up(over http)
-> More professional UI and flicker free
-> Faster development time when compared to BSP or JSP
-> Future proof
Disadvantages:
On the down side
-> You loose control on so many things that you took for granted in web programming such as javascript support, DHTML
Hope this will help you.
Cheers,
Darshna.

Advantages of Collection over Cursor

Hello All,
Cursor acts like a pointer to the query result.
Collections stores the query result.
But,
What are the advantages of collection over cursor?
I Googled it but didn't find the exact info.
Thx

Prabodh wrote:
Hi,
Each has its own use. They do not compete but supplement each other.
One has to use them , mix and match, together.
If collections were all that useless then they would not have existed , and neither would have BULK COLLECT.
Within COLLECTIONs, you have NESTED TABLES, ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY and VARRAY. The VARRAY is probably still around for backward compatibility, but other 2 are extremely useful.
Points to consider:
a) Bulk Collect is much faster than CURSOR loop
b)Collection once loaded can be manipulated in memory. Faster but heavy on PGA.Faster than what exactly? Certainly not faster than just doing it in SQL. Faster than row by row cursor loop processing? Depends what "manipulation" is required.
c) NESTED tables allow you to organize data, can be used with Cursor!
d) String to table and table yo string (like java String.split method) possible only with Collection. Not possible without Collect / arrayAlso possible with pure SQL.
I cannot imagine a world without COLLECTIONs. I use them extensively, just like I use CURSORS.I've had a few uses for them... but only a few. Most of the hard work is done on the database using SQL.
Still not convinced? Look up the Specs of OWA_UTIL, DBMS_SQL, APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL, etc. They have Associative Arrays all over the place.
In fact Application Apex would not have come into existence with Associate Arrays; they are used left, right and center in it
All the negative opinions expressed on Collections only reflects ignorance.

Advantages of InDesign over 3B2

Dear All,
Does any one having any documents or any kind of list about advantages of InDesign over 3b2. I am also willing to know about automation feasibility in both the application. As of I know InDesign CS4 is good than earlier version where IDML generation we can automate outside of InDesign.
