Difference between one step approval and N-step approval?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell what is major difference between one step approval and N step approval?
I guess its only one person will approve incase one step approval and where as in the N-step approval a shopping cart can be approved by many users under some prerequistes right??
can some one provide me some hints on this.....
how does it make a difference in workflows and how to mantain the settings for this in the SPRO. for this one to setup a one-step and N-step approvals. what are points to be taken care while setting up this?
Please can some one clarify me on this
Regards
Sairam.

Hi,
1 step approval - Number of approvals will be 1
n step - number of approvals greater then 2(since std approval workflow present till 2 level)
The general customising steps for Workflows apply to both of them (like SWU3 customising.event linkage etc) but other then that for,
1 step approval -
-->Need to activate the starting conditions
-->Agent assignment to be done seperately for the Approval task
(Also the N step workflow can be used as 1 step workflow with number of approvals being set to 1 through the Logic in the badi.)
N step approval -
-->to be implemented through BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI .This BADi actually determines the Agents/approvers for the workflow.
-->As per my exp,this workflow is very unstable and for few updates,you may have to apply number of notes(e.g. Approval status not updated properly,graphical preview not visible properly etc)

Difference Between One-way SSL and Two Way SSL

Hi ,
Can any tell difference between one way and two ssl. apache to weblogic server which type of ssl we can configure. Please provide information on this.
thanks

In short below is the difference:
One Way SSL - Only the client authenticates the server
- This means that the public cert of the server needs to configured in the trust store of the client for this to happen.
Two Way SSL - The client authenticates the server & the server also authenticates the client.
- This means that the public cert of the server needs to configured in the trust store of the client for this to happen.
- Also the public cert of the client needs to be configured on the server's trust store
Please refer to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv6/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.csqzas.doc%2Fsy10660_.htm. In case of Two way SSL the step numbers 5 & 6 also occur.
You can implement either of them between apache and weblogic.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Time difference between one Ext Trig and multiple secondary triggers ?

An external device generates a 100 Hz square wave (primary). During
each 10 msec period, another device (secondary) generates multiple
pulses at random times. I want to determine the time, with respect to
each primary waveform's leading edge, when each and every of the
secondary pulses occurs. Not just the first secondary pulse.
Count Buffered Edges.vi example records times when multiple secondary
pulses occur, but there does not seems to be a way to set the counter
value to zero by the primary pulse (especially on STC cards).
The TIO example Two Edge Separation.vi only measures time between the
primary pulse and the first secondary pulse, not all secondary pulses.
The TIO Measure Position.vi fo
r encoder use mentions using the Z-index
on the gate pin to initialize the count value. Is there a way to
combine this with ability to record multiple buffreed time differences
I envision each 100 Hz leading edge resetting a counter (which is
counting a high frequency time base) to zero. Then each secondary
pulse latches that counter's value into memory.
For each count latched by the secondary pulses, it is not necessary to
know within which specific primary period it belonged to.
An alternative is to use two of the Count Buffered Edges.vi and record
the times of both primary and secondary pulses and take their time
difference in software.

What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?*

What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?

When you save to the folder with the little house icon, the file is placed at
/Users/your_user_name/
You would really have to go out of my way to save at:
(the shortcut for the Boot Drive, regardless of its name).
I am not sure how you decided that Time Machine is not saving your files. The default is for Time Machine to do incremental Backups of everything on all attached drives, except for certain temporary information in Cache files. If you have four Users, Time Machine will back them all up.
Looking at the raw Time Machine backups will tell you very little, because it does lots of its work with Hard Links, and because it does incremental backups, so only files that changed since the last Backup are saved at thet cycle. The way to determine whether Time Machine is saving things is to display the window you care about in the Finder, then invoke the "Star wars"/ "Back, back, back in time" Interface.

It the same phone but you don't have to have data on it if you don't want since they are older phones. We had these phones without data as I didn't think they would be good for surfing the net compared to a smart phone. Mary

Re: DIfference between Schemas, PCRS' FUnctions and Operations

Dear SAPExperts,
Can anybody pls tell me what is difference between Schemas, PCRS' Functions and Operations.
Thanx in advance
Regards
Aniruddha

Hi Aniruddha
When the payroll driver is executed (for ex: PC00_M40_CALC for INDIA is executed) the schema IN00 (standard schema) is executed and it calls certain functions (functions may use Rules. Rules contain Operation) and also subschemas.
Functions could be of four types
1. Performing some payroll computations (E.g. INEPF function calculates the PF amount of an employee during payroll run)
2. Calling rules (E.g. P0045 function calls a rule INLN to compute the loan details of a personnel number).
3. Getting data from Infotypes (E.g. P0581 will get the data from Infotype-581 for payroll processing).
4. For some decisions. (E.g. IF & ENDIF function is used to execute as per the true and false decisions) etc.
When the PY is executed SAP uses lot of Internal Tables to store data and also provides data to other internal tables.
The read and change access to Internal Tables is enabled using functions that are executed in a personnel calculation schema and using operations that are executed in personnel calculation rules.
The following is just an attempt to provide some info on how Functions are processed during the PY Run. For ex: (functionality of subschema XIN0 and INBD)
1. INITIALIZATION OF PAYROLL: When the Payroll is executed first the subschema XIN0 is called,   This subschema comprises the following main steps:
I.     Specify program type (payroll or evaluation)
II.     Set switch for database updates (YES/NO) all database updates are controlled via this switch (otherwise simulation)
III.     Only infotypes from the HR master record which apply to the selected personnel number are read.
IV.     All Time Management infotypes are imported.
V.     Specify check against control record PA03 (test or live).
2. READ BASIC DATA: Once the Initialization of Payroll is successful, the subschema INBD is called. This subschema reads the Basic data of an employee who is there in the Payroll execution. Basic Data includes, determining Employee Name, Reading Work Center/Basic Pay Data, Setting Financial Year Dates and Allowance Grouping Tables, Reading Previous Employment Tax Details, Reading Housing (HRA/CLA/COA), Reading Exemptions, Reading Income from Other Sources, Reading Section 80 Deductions, Reading Investment Details (Sec 88), Reading Provident Fund Contributions, Reading Other Statutory Deductions, Reading Car and Conveyance, Reading Long Term Reimbursements, Read ID Details. Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported, no further processing of schema will occur unless certain data is present.
The Subschema INBD calls the following functions in order to read the Basic Data:
ENAME :
Function ENAME reads the last valid name of the employee in the payroll period. The formatting used for the country in question is used when displaying this name.
WPBP
If an employee receives a pay increase within a payroll period, the Basic Pay infotype (0008) is changed and delimited as of a specific date. Two data records exist for one payroll period.
During payroll, the system writes the Basic Pay wage type to the results table with two different indicators. These split indicators are a link to the WPBP table that contains the relevant values. The system takes into consideration both data records for the corresponding partial periods when calculating remuneration.
ININI
P0580
P0581
P0582
P0584
P0585
P0586
P0587
P0588
P0583
P0590
P185I
GON :
                Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported. No further processing of the schema will occur unless certain data is present. Checking procedures vary from country to country. There must always, however, be a work center (P007).
[Def. of Functions, Rules and Operations (copied from Raju's answer)
Schema is a collection of functions
A Rule is a collection of operations.
An operation is a very basic piece of logic that is used, mostly, to manipulate wage types

Time difference between the Identity system and Access System: OAM

I was installing OAM. Performed the below steps.
-installed identity server
-installed webpass
-setup of identity system console
-installed policy manager
-setup of access system console
The above steps were successfull. Then when i was logging into Access system console, i am getting the below error:
Error:there was a problem obtaining the userid. One possible reason for this is a time difference between the Identity system and Access systems (Policy Manager and Access system console).+
The Identity Server, WebPass and Policy Manager are installed on the same machine.
Userdata repository: OVD 10.1.4.3
Policy and Config Data Repository: OID 11.1.1.3
OAM: 10.1.4.3
Windows2008 - 64bit
Found document in metalink similar to this issue. suggested to change ldapmaxofreties. but didn't help.
Any idea on this error. Please Advise.
Thanks in advance.

Try this::
Check Time Difference Between Identity and Access Manager Systems
Check the logfile in the Access Manager install directory. The default location is <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/logs/oblogfile.
If the file exists and it contains following line "skew = slack = " that means the Identity and Access Manager Web Servers are on different machines and have not synchronized time within a minute.
Either synchronize times between the two machines within a minute's accuracy or you can increase the slack by modifying these two files: <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.lst: loginslack: <$IMinstall_dir>/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.xml: loginslack: where numofseconds is more than skew found in the oblogfile.
For example, if you have following line in oblogfile "skew = 121 slack = 60", set numofseconds in the two parameter files to 130. After doing this, Stop the Identity Manager Web Server. Then stop the Identity Server. Start the Identity Server.
Then start the Identity Manager Web Server. Start a new browser session and see if you get the same error.

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost

Hi Experts!
I have an issue of cost difference between Plant Maintenance total actual cost of orders and Cost analysis report.
Short Text
Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost
Long Text
Applied SAP notes 180047 and 112841 for the following error:
Cost is not displaying in MCI8 for every 3 months intervals.
Now this problem has been resolved but got an another error like cost
difference between MCI8 report and IW38 order costs.
Note applied method:-
1). Configured FYV as Z1 with Period update for info structures S61 to
S65, S70, S114 to S116.
2). Regenerate order cost in Tcode OLI5.
3). PMIS: Statistical setup of info structures T.Code u2013 OLPM
For Info Structures which is changed in the configuration SO61-SO65,
SO70, S114-S116.
4). Copy info structures Version &( to Active version 000 T.Code u2013 OLIX,
Select Copy version
For all info Structure SO61-SO65, SO70, S114-S116.
*Steps for Reconstruction*
New another error like cost difference between MCI8 report and IW38
order costs.
Step 1. Transaction- MCI8, Order type - CORR, Period -01.2009 to
12.2009 and execute
Step 2. Drilldown the corrective maintenance order costs into period
wise.
Step 3. Transaction- IW38, Order type Corr, Period -01.2009 to 12.2009,
Currency - EUR and execute
Cost differences: E.g. Example A)
                               MCI8                                 IW38
Total costs             8.041,69                           5.544,99
of WOs               18                                     18
So far my view is that, regardless of the selection criteria or the
output layout, predominantly the costs are different.
I would expect that they are equal. And what the right result are,..u2026Iu2019m
not sure.
Regards,
Santhamoorthy

Hello,
Sometimes this difference comes because of the selection period which we are choosing.
Try to run IW38 once with the help of Basic start and basic finish dates of the order.
And after that with the help of the period with the same dates range.
You will get the difference also.
the reason is that whenever any Posting is done in the previous month PM order the system changes the basic start date and when you select the current period and execute IW38 it shows the whole cost incurred on the order including all previous cost.
But in MCI8 it does not happen because MCI8 is run through LIS structures. And in this report only the current month cost will be shown by the system.
I hope you got the idea about differences.

Actual difference between a standard , sorted and hashed atble

hi ,
1. what is the actual difference between a
standard,sorted and hashed table ? and
2. where and when these are actually used and applied ?
provide explanation with an example ....

hi
good
Standard Internal Tables
Standard tables have a linear index. You can access them using either the index or the key. If you use the key, the response time is in linear relationship to the number of table entries. The key of a standard table is always non-unique, and you may not include any specification for the uniqueness in the table definition.
This table type is particularly appropriate if you want to address individual table entries using the index. This is the quickest way to access table entries. To fill a standard table, append lines using the (APPEND) statement. You should read, modify and delete lines by referring to the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The response time for accessing a standard table is in linear relation to the number of table entries. If you need to use key access, standard tables are appropriate if you can fill and process the table in separate steps. For example, you can fill a standard table by appending records and then sort it. If you then use key access with the binary search option (BINARY), the response time is in logarithmic relation to
the number of table entries.
Sorted Internal Tables
Sorted tables are always saved correctly sorted by key. They also have a linear key, and, like standard tables, you can access them using either the table index or the key. When you use the key, the response time is in logarithmic relationship to the number of table entries, since the system uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique, or non-unique, and you must specify either UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE in the table definition. Standard tables and sorted tables both belong to the generic group index tables.
This table type is particularly suitable if you want the table to be sorted while you are still adding entries to it. You fill the table using the (INSERT) statement, according to the sort sequence defined in the table key. Table entries that do not fit are recognised before they are inserted. The response time for access using the key is in logarithmic relation to the number of
table entries, since the system automatically uses a binary search. Sorted tables are appropriate for partially sequential processing in a LOOP, as long as the WHERE condition contains the beginning of the table key.
Hashed Internal Tables
Hashes tables have no internal linear index. You can only access hashed tables by specifying the key. The response time is constant, regardless of the number of table entries, since the search uses a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique, and you must specify UNIQUE in the table definition.
This table type is particularly suitable if you want mainly to use key access for table entries. You cannot access hashed tables using the index. When you use key access, the response time remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. As with database tables, the key of a hashed table is always unique. Hashed tables are therefore a useful way of constructing and
using internal tables that are similar to database tables.

Difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?

hi,
plz tell me the difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?
thanks & regards
Ruban

Hi Ruban,
The main difference between the two is in lsmw we can view the code status at any time just by coming to prvious steps, but whereas in batch input method unless the recording is finished we cant view the code.
second diff is tht we need to do lot of coding in batch inptu whereas here in lsmw we need not do much coding and mapping to data.
third diff is that batch input is both inbound and outbound where as lsmw is only inbound.
hope u got the differences.....
