What is diff in Open SQl and Unicode

Hi.
What is difference in Open SQl and Unicode.
What are advantages of Unicode ?

hi osk,
<b>u cant compare open sql with unicode as both are different..</b>
just a small explanation..
<b>Open SQL</b> consists of a set of ABAP statements that perform operations on the central database in the R/3 System. The results of the operations and any error messages are independent of the database system in use. Open SQL thus provides a uniform syntax and semantics for all of the database systems supported by SAP. ABAP programs that only use Open SQL statements will work in any R/3 System, regardless of the database system in use. Open SQL statements can only work with database tables that have been created in the ABAP Dictionary
<b>unicode</b>
Data types such as CHAR ASCII and CHAR EBCDIC are mainly suited to English and central European languages. With other character sets, a code attribute is usually used for these data types. This code attribute uses a different presentation code to ASCII and EBCDIC, even for internal storage in the database system. This causes problems if you want to access these database systems using a different character set, or if you want to exchange data between database systems with different character sets.
You can avoid these problems by using internal character coding in accordance with UNICODE. Internally, the UNICODE data is stored in UTF-16/UCS-2 format. In UTF-16/UCS-2 format, all characters are two bytes long.
SAP DB is able to display various presentation codes in UNICODE format

  • What is diff b/w abstarct and interface

    what is diff b/w abstarct and interface in real time where we come across, give a best real time example

    I think there have been lots of threads in this forum discussing interfaces and abstract classes.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=256&threadID=389830
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=54&threadID=5120074

    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=546668
    Interfaces define a contract for what an implementing class should provide. Abstract classes do the same but they can also provide some common part of the implementation.

  • In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

    hello all
    In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

    Hi Swamy,
    The differences between IDoc and BAPI are as follows: 
    IDOC
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system.
    Idocs are processed asynchronously and no information whatsoever is returned to the client.
    The target system need not be always online. The IDOC would be created and would send the IDOC once the target system is available (tRFC concept). Hence supports guaranteed delivery.
    With asynchronous links the sub-process on the client can be finished even if the communication line or the server is not available. In this case the message is stored in the database and the communication can be done later.
    The disadvantage of asynchronous links is that the sub-process on the server cannot return information to the calling sub-process on the client. A special way for sending information back to the client is required. In addition, a special error handling mechanism is required to handle errors on the receiving side.
    IDOCs may be more changeable from release to release.
    IDOCs  are poorly documented.
    BAPI
    BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
    BAPIs are called synchronously and (usually) return information.
    For BAPIs the client code needs to do the appropriate error handling.
    Problems with synchronous links occur if the communication line or the server is temporarily not available. If this happens, the sub-process on the client cannot be finished (otherwise there would be data inconsistencies).
    Synchronous links have the advantage that the sub-process on the server can return values to the sub-process on the client that has started the link.
    BAPIs are not totally immune to upgrades.
    BAPIs are reasonably well documented.
    Reward points if useful.
    Best Regards,
    Sekhar

  • How do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where do i look it up?

    how do i find out what tcp ports are open? and where would i go to see them? i have a program that is asking for it and i am unable to find where those are listed.

    If you are not too tech savvy, try using the Network Utility found in the Utilities folder. Just have the Mac scan itself.
    If tech savvy, there's always Fyodor's classic NMap, found at www.insecure.org.

  • What is diff b/w active and inactive DCs

    hi
    please let me know what is diff between Active and Inactive DC's.
    If possible send some FAQs on JDI
    Thanks
    -mmukesh

    Hi Mukesh,
    When you are developing somthing through JDI (NWDI), you will have inactive dc and active dc.
    If you want to do some changes in code then you can do these changes through inactive dcs. Whatever changes you do in inactive DCs and until you check-in that activity. other developers cannot have those changes.
    but, when you check-in your activity those changes will be visible to other developers who are working on the same DC but this updated code will not be reflected in active DC.
    But when you activate that activity, those changes will be reflected in active dc and this active dc will be deployed on Development server.
    In summary, inactive DCs contain intermidiate code which is not ready to deploy on Development server yet. This updated code is available in Active DC.
    Hope now you are clear with Inactive and Active DCs.
    Regards,
    Bhavik

  • What is diff b/w valuated and non valuated

    hi
       can anybody tell me what is difference between valuated salesorder and nonvaluated saled order stock
    thanks
    prasad

    Hi,
    While creating the Sales order, system explore the BOM for that FERT. Say, I add one more extra component in sales order which is not been maintained in BOM or which has not been valuated for Std cost estimate for that FERT material. This extra component is call it as Non-valuated sales order stock. All other, valuvaed materials are valuated sales order stock.
    Hope, it helps!

  • What is Difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL

    Hi,
    I am going to take the assesment test for ANSI SQL Programming before that i want to know any difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL?
    I am studying for SQL but the test will be ANSI SQL please let me give an idea about the both.
    Thanks
    Merina Roslin

    Basically there is syntax difference between both of them.
    Lets say i want to join two table EMP and DEPT based on DEPTNO.
    With Oracle SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the joining condition goes in the WHERE clause.
    With ANSI SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e
      join dept d
        on e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the join condition is mentioned separately and not in WHERE clause.
    Oracle supports ANSI SQL starting from 9i version.
    You can read more about the syntax difference Here

  • What is tuxedo9.1/bin/sql and how to restrict amount of memory it uses?

    Hi,
    We have AIX 5.3 server running Oracle 10.2 database and Tuxedo, a few days ago the database crashed as
    there was no free memory (this was configmed by AIX log).
    According to our monitoring (Open View) memory was consumed by two 'sql' processes
    (where 'sql' is process name): within one hour each process went from 24,000 to 800,000 memory pages.
    I searched the box and found executable named 'sq' in tuxedo9.1/bin:
    ls -l tuxedo9.1/bin/sql-r-xr-xr-x 1 abcPadm abcP 73128 Oct 24 2008 tuxedo9.1/bin/sql
    Would you be able to tell me what is this 'sql' executable and how to restrict amount
    of memory it consumes (other than through ulimit)?
    Thanks
    Sev

    Hi Sev,
    As Ian says, the SQL support in Tuxedo where Tuxedo actually provided a relational database resource manager has long been deprecated and certainly hasn't been supported in over 10 years. The Tuxedo sql program in the Tuxedo bin directory is an interactive SQL utility. I seriously doubt that it is the same executable that caused your memory problem. If it is the same executable, there isn't really much Oracle is going to be able to do for you as that component hasn't been supported for years. You would really need to change the application to use a standard supported SQL utility and relational database.

  • When I touch an application, no matter what it is, it opens quickly and then closes and goes back to the main screen. What should I do?

    Basically what I said before. I will touch the Words with Friends app, just for an example, and it will open and quickly close. Same goes for everything else. Birds, Facebook, Music, Books, etc. Any thoughts?

    - A reset usuallu cures the problem:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If still problem, restore from backup via iTunes.
    - If still problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • What is Diff b/w 0PROD_HIER_LPRH_HIER and 0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER

    HEllo
    my user requested to load the heirarchy data from R/3 to BW  for the infobject 0Prod_Hier.
    which one i need to use.
    0PROD_HIER_LPRH_HIER....
    But also found 0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER ??? what is the difference ?

    Hi
    Pls  find the prod hierarchy datasource in RSA5 (R/3). It is look like 0MATERIAL_LPRHl_HIER. Just activate that. Then In SBIW -> logistics -> execute Modify product hierarchy in BW. Next u can replicate the datasource into BW. Activate InfoObjects like PRODH1, PRODH2....9. Each PRODH objects u can activate from Business Content. These represents each level in the hirarchy. Use them in Product hierarchy or material infoobject as external infoobjects. Then proceed.0PROD_HIER_LPRH_HIER is also correct one. See the description as material number. So u can use 0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER(u can find it in unde LO or SD) also. Activate one of them. Replicate and then map it to 0material Infosource.
    pls use RSA3-->Datasources:
    0PRODPROCNR_TEXT Production Process
    0PRODUCT_ATTR Product: General Attributes
    0PRODUCT_HIER Product Hierarchy
    0PRODUCT_TEXT Product: Texts
    0PROD_CATEG_ATTR Product Category
    0PROD_CATEG_HIER Product Category Hierarchy
    0PROD_CATEG_R3_MAP_ATTR Product Category: R/3 Attribute Material Group
    0PROD_CATEG_TEXT Product Categories
    0PROD_HIER_LPRH_HIER Material number
    0PROD_HIER_TEXT Product Hierarchy
    0PR_PROD_VAR_ATTR Product: Assignment Product Variant - Configurable Product
    Hope this helps

  • What is diff b/w NW2004 and NW2004s

    Hi
    could any body tell me what that is the basic/major difference between SAP NW2004  and SAP NW2004s Servers
    Thanks
    mmukehs

    <b>NW04</b>
    NW04 is a 'Java version' which means we can develop applications using Java and export them to portal.
    WEB Applications server (AS) supports Java API’s and can be integrated with NW Developer Studio developed by SAP. Studio supports application development in java, testing/debugging.
    Third party JVM is added to NW04 to run support java functionality.
    <b>NW04S</b>
    SAP NW2004s is the mySAP Business Suite edition of SAP NW 2004.it is a minor release that delivers on specific needs of the mySAP and xApps solutions delivered by SAP in 2005. The "s" stands for "mySAP Business Suite Edition".
    As in NW04, third part JVM is used to support Java stack.
    Few of the New capabilities in NW2004s
    Developing a web based user interface with WebDynPro fro ABAP
    Enhancements to enabling B2B processes
    Enhancements to business task management
    Enhancements to business planning
    Enhancements to enterprise data warehousing
    Mass setup of mobile devices
    Implementing a global portal
    NW04s is a ‘ABAP version’. Here you can develop ABAP reports and transactions and export them to portal. There you can create iViews using them.
    Netweaver 04S, includes both the ABAP and Java stacks.
    The Sneak preview for NW04s is only for the ABAP stack, and the Sneak Preview NW04 SP15 is only the java stack.
    If you are using the sneak preview for ABAP, you can develop WDA applications and BSP applications; they run directly in the engine, not in a portal. But they can be embedded in an iView in some portal.
    You don't have to have a portal to run your application. If you are using the java side, you can develop WDJ applications and JSP applications. Same applies here, they run on the java engine, not in a portal, but can be embedded into an iView which runs on the portal. But you don't need a portal for your application to run.
    The portal is just a front end UI; the apps themselves run on the underlying engine, whether it’s ABAP or JAVA.
    Hope that helps

  • What is diff b/w pick and switch activity in bpel?

    what is the difference between pick activity and switch activity in BPEL? example Please

    1)The switch activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on a conditional expression, derived out of existing message(s) in your process.
    Eg. i) Whether the salary is greater than 10,000 or not.
    ii) Whether the age is greater than 60 or not.
    iii) whether the department is finance or not.
    2)The pick activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on two different messages/signals, that you can expect to receive(when you are waiting for a message) from outside of your process.
    Eg. i) whether you received a reply message or a timeout signal.
    ii) whether you received a AddNewEmployee message or UpdateEmployee message.
    The (decision for which route to be taken for) pick activity is based on the MessageType, while the switch is based on the contents in a message. The pick activity implies that you are waiting for a message, this can occur, at the start of your process or in the mid of your process. However, switch activity doesnot wait for any message, hence can only occur in the mid of the process and can not be the start of a process.
    Mark the posting appropriately as "helpful" or "correct answer", if your issue is solved.
