Hi

Step-by-step guide for creating ABAP query
http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ab4query.pdf
ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly
use either SQ02 ans SQ01
or SQVI tr code

Hi Nitin,
A view can be thought of as either a virtual table or a stored query. The data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. What is stored in the database is a SELECT statement. The result set of the SELECT statement forms
the virtual table returned by the view. A user can use this virtual table by referencing the view name in Transact-SQL statements the same way a table is referenced.
For more information about the advantages and disadvantages of views in SQL Server, please refer to the following two articles:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content?

what are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content?

Hi Surya,

Are you referring to compressed files in your statement?
If yes, then let me give you a general idea about it -
Compressed file occupy less memory space as compared to its uncompressed counterpart, and hence can be uploaded/downloaded faster than the uncompressed one.
Moreover Compressed files are less vulnerable to Malwares and Trojans, provided it is Locked and encrypted as well, Uncompressed files are more vulnerable to Malwares and viruses in general.
I would love to help you with your query however i need to know that in which context you are asking this question so that i can point you in the right direction. Moreover please let me know if you are facing any type of Technical issue in any Adobe Product or Online service.

What are the advantage and disadvantage of LavView (comprared with C++)?

Comparing with C++, what's the advantage and disadvantage of LavView? Because now I decide to write a new tool, we can't make sure which language we will use. The old tool was written in LabView environment.

Visual Basic works pretty well if you would like to have a nice user
interface and quick development.

Advantages and disadvantages of using views ???

Hi
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using views in ABAP porgramming ?
Thank You

hi,
Data about an application object is often distributed on several tables. By defining a view, you can define an application-dependent view that combines this data. The structure of such a view is defined by specifying the tables and fields used in the view. Fields that are not required can be hidden, thereby minimizing interfaces. A view can be used in ABAP programs for data selection.
More complicated views can comprise several base tables, the individual tables being linked with a relational join operation. If we dont specify the key fields, it takes time to fetch teh results.

Advantages and disadvantages of Analytical function

Plz list out the advantages and disadvantages of normal queries and queries using analytical function (Performance wise)

I'm not sure how you wish to compare?
Analytical functions give you functionality that cannot otherwise be achieved easily in a lot of cases. They can introduce some performance degredation to a query but you have to compare on a query by query basis to determine if analytical functions or otherwise are the best solution for the issue. If it were as simple as saying that analytical functions are always slower than doing it without analytical functions, then Oracle wouldn't bother introducing them into the language.

Advantages and disadvantages NIS in Sparc & i386 (Intel based machine)

Hi Sun Experts
I have a query can any one tell me the advantages and disadvantages of Nis setting up in Sparc box and i386 .
My query's are ........
1. If i set up NIS in i386 box what is the advantage and disadvantage.
2. if i set up NIS in sparc what is the advantage
Thanks in advance

The SPARC/x86 question doesn't really seem relevant here, NIS should work the same whether you run it on a SPARC or X86 box.
The disadvantages of NIS are, as always that its insecure, insecure and about to be EOL.
The advantages are that its easy, easy to maintain, fairly reliable if maintained correctly, stable and works across most platforms and operating systems

Advantages and disadvantages of APEX?

Hey Guys,
what would you say are the advantages and disadvantages of APEX?
I am interested in the opinion of you as developer!
(I know that there are a lot of information given by Oracle......)
I would be very glad if you can post some short advantages and disadvantages, which I can use in a presentation in front of a group of costumers!
Thanks a lot,
Tim

One disadvantage, IMO, is that it's a extremely weak
in native support for printing. I have never really understood the discussion concerning print reporting using Apex. I don't even think one should build that into a tool like this. It's a different playground.
Does Oracle Forms have printing capabilities ? No, there is another "Reporting" tool called Oracle Reports to do that.
Does the Struts (J2EE) framework have the capabilities to print? No, you would revert to programming (iText) or use a report designer (iReportDesigner with iReports).
Does Visual Basic have printing capabilities? Not really, you used Crystal Reports for that.
The point is that Reporting as such can be a really complex matter, especially in corporations. This should be dealt with a true reporting solution.

Advantage and disadvantages of XI

Dear All,
I was asked to list down the Advantages and Disadvantages of XI over other middleware tools in an interview
Please advice.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Advantages of XI:
XI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
Any fully mature middleware should provide these three layers.
1. An independent Message Queue
2. A data consolidator and mapping engine
3. Workflow processor.
XI is lacking full-fledged Message Queue compared to other established Middleware products.
Currently, SAP XI does not have the features like IBM Websphere, Seeburger or TIBCO.
SAP's next XI release might provide this missing piece and many more features which is due 2007 i guess.
Here are the advantages of SAP XI from my point of view.There are lots of advantages but to list a few :
Easy Integration with SAP products & components (RFC, IDOC, Proxy).
Data security as expected from any SAP product.
Standards based - XML, XSD, Xpath etc
Ability to communicate with other messaging systems/products.
Business Process Management
Synchronous & Asynchronous communication possible.
Complex processes for communication possible instead of only sending and receiving (business process management) (connect e.g. asynchronous and synchronous steps, define complex communication scenarios)
Mapping etc possible to accomplish in Java. Platform independent Java components.
Java & .Net support.
Big range of adapters for different technologies / tools (SOAP, Mail, JDBC, CDIX...)available in standard or offered by other companies (EDI e.g. by Seeburger).
Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules fpr business purposes.
Central monitoring for data communication for all your communication between different systems.
And the marketing issue: SAP and its partners provide high volume of development capabilities to make XI always up-to-date for new requirements

Doubts about the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Hi people!
Do you know in specific. What are the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer?
and Do you know the limitations and scope of the bex analyzer?
Talking about the security issue. What kind of resticciones be applied to end-users to control information. Protecting system
resources and the information that the user uses, not be manipulated.
I hope you could answer my doubts
Ramon
Thanks

Hi!
The standard BEx BI 3.x tools, is no longer available with the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI tools; however, it is part of the SAP BI add-on installation that, by default, will install the BW 3.x tools along with the newer BI 7.0 tools.
We want to prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users who have installed bex analyzer but are not authorized to do that. Certain users only have to access querys from web and shouldn't have to use reports from bex analyzer.
The only accepted way to access reports for all users is by using web querys published in our intranet. But many users have bex analyzer installed and we don't want that an unauthorized user download data to a excel sheet via bex analyzer.
I'm testing with one user with this roles, but bex web template and bex analyzer have similiar object authorizations, and i don't know if is possible prevent unauthorized download of data from excel sheets.
Final users don't access to bex analyzer by rrmx transaction
Until know i'm testing with this user roles:
1. ZBW:BEX_WEB:RFC (for web templates)
S_RFC:
ACTVT: 16
RFC_NAME:
RFC1
RSBOLAP_BICS
RSBOLAP_BICS_CONSUMER
RSBOLAP_BICS_PROVIDER
RSBOLAP_BICS_PROVIDER_VAR
RSOBJS_RFC_INTERFACE
RSRCI_LOCAL_VIEW
RSWRTEMPLATE
SDIFRUNTIME
SYST
RFC_TYPE: FUGR
2. ZBW:BEX:RFC (for Bex Analyzer):
ACTVT: 16
RFC_NAME:
RSOBJS_RFC_INTERFACE
RSR_XLS_RFC
RZX0
SDIFRUNTIME
SM02
SUNI
SYST
RFC_TYPE: FUGR
please take in count this points:
1. Prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users that should have accees only querys from web not bex analyzer (very important this point)=
2. what are the disadvantages of BEx Analyzer, if only if limited by excel...from other point like performance, workprocess with long runtimes, memory issues, for said something.
I don't know if i'm going by good way.
Somebody could help me?
