Difference between Seeburger FTP and OFTP adapters

hi,
Can anybody tell me the difference between Seeburger FTP and OFTP adapters?
On what basis should one make a business decision as to which adapter to go for?
Kindly help urgently.

Hi ! Loveena
Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
Seeburger Adapters are used to Connect the applications which are using Message protocol/Transport protocol as CrossIndustry(payment), VAN, OFTP, AS2(EDIINT), Generic and EDI based applications.

OFTP ist a communication protocol. This has nothing to do with the format you have to transfer.
regards the format you have to clear at which standard you have to transfer the messages. This can be any EDI format. At OFTP area the standard are often VDA or ODETTE.
You can create this messages using different EDI adapters (of course also the mendelson adapter ).
Regards OFTP you need additional software which handle the transfer based on the OFTP standard. Mostly you also need an ISDN card for using this protocol.
We can support you with this software for OFTP transport too.
More info also available at http://www.mendelson-e-c.com/.
have a look at the ACTIS OFTP Adapter

  • Difference between File adapter and FTP adapter

    hi,
    I would like to know what is the difference between File adapter and FTP adapter
    thanks
    Yatan

    Both file and ftp adapters are non-concurrent jca adaps, however we go for file adapters mostly when you have files on your local environment and do not need to wait for someone to FTP the files on a timely basis. In case of FTP Adapter, we would need an FTP Server, a remote location with access where in files pitch in for polling.
    Also, File adapter is dependent on the local folder and OS, however FTP adapter is dependent on the local as well as the remote file system/OS/folder permissions/user access.

  • Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

    Hi All,
             My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by  File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
    Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
    I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
    Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
    Xier

    Hi
    You are aware with working of File Adapter.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
    1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
    5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

  • What is difference bettwen Seeburger BIC and Seeburger BIS

    Hi All,
    What is difference bettwen Seeburger BIC and Seeburger BIS.
    I know BIC is Business Integration Converter(BIC).What is Seeburger BIS?
    Regards,
    Srini

    Hi,
          Srinivas...BIS (Business Integration Server)  is also a kind of integration platform which mainy focuses on B2B kind of integration.Its an EDI subsystem generally deal with EDI formats like ANSI,EDIFACT ,ODETTE and many.Jus like an inbuilt graphical mapping designer  we have in XI/PI.SEEBURGER BIS do comes with inbuilt mapping designer (In EDI envionment we all it EDI translator) for mapping purpouse and its called (BIC) Business integration Converter.
       XI like any other requires Format conversion utilities called 'Adapters'.SAP instead of developing their own adapters .Relies on third party developed adapters(SEEBURGER,iWAY..etc.).
      Especially for Mapping between EDI to XML or XML to EDI .SAP leverages BIC Adapters(ex.,AS2 Adapter) developed by SEEBUGER for B2B integration part of it.
       If you want to kow more on EDI mapping in XI lots many blogs are there in SDN it self.All the very best and go ahead.

  • What are all difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus.

    hi all ,
    Apart from SCA concept , storing location
    is thr any other difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus ?
    thx in advance..

    11g introduces the SCA architecture for building the service infrastructure.
    SOA 11g uses:-
    1. Uses the weblogic Server and BEA Aqualogic Service Bus (ALSB) for the Oracle Service Bus.
    2. BPEL uses scalable DOM with reduced memory usage.
    3. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA)
    4. BAM finally ported from .Net to J2EE and is part of the service infrastructure
    5. Oracle Web Services Management built into SOA 11g service infrastructure
    6. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA). Tighter integration with E-Business Suite & large payload support.
    7. Business Rules in SOA 10g business rules are managed using the Rules Author & in SOA 11g business rules are managed using JDeveloper and SOA composer

  • Difference between Spilt Mac and Local Mac architecture

    Hi,
    Can someone explain to me the difference between Split mac and Local Mac architecture.
    And of course if you have some documentation on it, I'll take with pleasure.
    Thank you.
    Jonathan.

    http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_9-3/wireless_lan_switches.html
    Two types of MAC implementations are possible with Fit APs, known as the Local MAC and the Split MAC architectures. Local MAC is where all the wireless MAC functions are performed at the AP. The  complete 802.11 MAC functions, including management and control frame  processing, are resident on the APs. These functions include time-sensitive functions (also  known as Real Time MAC functions).
    The Split MAC architecture divides the implementation of the  MAC functions between the AP and the controller. The real-time MAC  functions include functions such as beacon generation, probe transmission and  response, control frame processing (for example Request to Send and Clear to        Send—RTS and CTS), retransmission, and so on. The non-real  time functions include authentication and deauthentication; association  and reassociation; bridging between Ethernet and Wireless LAN; fragmentation; and so  on.
    Vendors differ in the type of functions that are split between  the AP and the controller, and in some cases, even about what  constitutes real time. One common implementation of a Fit AP involves local MAC at the AP and  control and management functions at the AP.

  • Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0

    Hi everyone,
    Can anybody tell me whats is the Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0.
    I am doing upgrade from ECC5.0 to ECC6.0 in Retail.
    Regards,
    Divya

    Dear Divya,
    When it is a technical upgrade from a lower version to ECC6.0, many objects like includes, Function modules, reports, OSS notes, DDIC objects, BDC/Print programs, SAP scripts, screens will get affected due to the upgradation. So we need to check with all these objects.
    u2022 We will encounter short dumps while executing certain programs. This may be due to the usage of obsolete function modules or Unicode errors.
    u2022 The BDCs in the upgraded version will become defective as many of its screen field names will be changed during version change.
    u2022 Program texts of many programs will be lost. They have to be restored.
    u2022 In case of tables, enhancement category has to be provided.
    u2022 There is a possibility of losing the variants during upgradation. So care should be taken to retain them before upgradation.
    u2022 ECC6.0 is case sensitive, so many of the interface programs will fail to transfer (FTP) files between systems. These objects have to be changed so that the commands passed to the external system be UPPERCASE.
    So a developer should be aware of the following:
    u2022Unicode programming is followed in ECC6.0. So we need to be aware of it to rectify certain Unicode errors which are likely to occur.
    u2022You have to run the transactions SPAU & SPDD to check for list of standard & custom objects that needs modification in the upgraded version.
    Check the below link to find more details on usage of SPAU & SPDD transactions
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
    u2022Should be aware of the objects that have become obsolete in ECC6.0. They have to be replaced by appropriate ones.For eg.:
    --> The WS_* function modules have been replaced by GUI_* FMs in ECC6.0 as WS_* FMs have become obsolete from 4.7
    -->Tables like TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively in ECC6.0.
    u2022In case of tables, we need to specify the Enhancement category.
    u2022Due to upgradation, we will lose out some variants. So we should take a back-up before proceeding with the upgradation.
    u2022In case of BDC programs, some field names will be changed. So they have to be named appropriately.

  • What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

    SAP Seniors,
    Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
    I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
    Thank you
    Anitha.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Pavan.

  • What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    hi nagaraju
    sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
    sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
    SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
    SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
    Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
    Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
    id Name
    198 XYZ
    475 ABC
    545 PQR.
    loop at itab where id > 300.
    write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
    endloop.
    My output will be :
    475 ABC 2 1
    545 PQR 3 2
    Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
    sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
    So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
    From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

    The iPhone includes the same as an iPod Touch but also includes a phone, a camera, and a GPS radio.
    In addition to having internet access via wi-fi, the iPhone also has internet access via the cellular network, so as long as you have cellular reception with the iPhone, you have access to the internet in addition to having access via an available wi-fi network.
