Advantages of BW SD reports over the SIS

Hello BI experts,
Would like to present the advantages of BW SD reports over the SD SIS reports.
1) Please provide me three main advantages and benefits to clients implementing BW SD reports over the SIS reports.
2) Are there any reports in the SIS system which are limited and BW has an advantage over them ?
3) What are the general information for hte SIS reports.
4) Any idea where I can find the SIS reports.
Your feedback appreciated.
Regards,
BWer

Hi.......
SIS is a part of Logistics information system (LIS). SIS reports use the following characteristics:
Customer
Material
Sales org.
Shipping point
Sales Employee
Sales office
There are number of SIS std reports. But as you can see they concerned mainly sales and distribution area. They are build on LIS structures. However, you can create custom structures and build non-std reports.
BW SD reports may be build on data provided by these old LIS structures (practically the same reports as in SIS). But LO cockpit provide new data sources with more information. So, std BW SD-related reports give more information and more flexible.
Additionally, to this SD reports we can add CRM reports.
And finally, BW flexibility allows us not only to get data from sales info, but also to join it with data from the other application areas, for example with materials management or controlling.
Hope this helps........
Regards,
Debjani.......

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the
report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.

Prasad.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

Reports 3.0 - Drill Down Reports over the Web

Can anyone tell me how to code a button to run a drilldown
report over the Web ?
I have read about bookmarks, hyperlinks and hypertext and found
the on-line documentation to be rather unclear.
Thanks

Magoo is talking about a patch 23, and you are on 11. Maybe that's the difference?
You can also try to upgrade just the Oracle 8 client (I assume Developer 2000 uses the 8 client). We did that to resolve some issues for Developer 6i on a 9i database.
You need to get Oracle8 8.0.6.3.8 patch.

Deploying existing application (forms and reports) over the web

Hi I do have the following environment:
1) Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on HP-UX.
2) Application written using oracle forms6i and reports6i on NT (Client-Server environment)
I am looking to deploy this existing application over the web using 9iAS, sure I don't want to rewrite my application. I did that in the past using OAS 4.0.8 and forms server and reports server.
1)Does 9iAS support that, which one should I install the standard or the enterprise.
2)Do I still need forms server and reports server.
I stopped using the OAS because it had problems and the performance was not that good, I found CITRIX and Tarantella do better, performance wise.
3)Does 9iAS has improved that.
Any feedback regading these many questions is highly appreciated
Thanks
Khaled

Sounds like the ideal 9i As environment (although you might want to consider either upgrading or patching the database - 8.1.6.0.0 does have patches)
You'd be pleasantly surprised with the performance and stability improvements of 9iAS over OAS.
Deploying reports & forms over the web (pure web access, not terminal services like citrix) require some form of web server, reports server and forms server. I believe that 9i AS is totally compatible with the reports and forms developed in 6i tools, so there should be no rewrite at all.
If you have the time, strongly recommend you check it out.

How the show parameter form for the report over the web by using an url ?

hello,
my url to call my report is :
http://server/reports/rwservlet?report=rtm0350.rep&desformat=html&userid=un/pw@hostring&server=rep_server&paramform=yes
but it doesn't show me the parameter form to introduce the parameters and I get :
'FINISH SUCCESSFULLY'
has anybnody any idea ?
thank's

If this is a 'paper' report then =yes has always worked for me as long you have parameters declared in the report.
Description Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter
Form when you execute a report through CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to
supply parameters to paper layout reports, not JSP-based Web reports.
Syntax PARAMFORM=YES|NO|HTML
Values
■ YES Display the Parameter Form.
■ NO Do not display the Parameter Form.
■ HTML Display the Parameter Form in HTML format.

Report Generation over the net?

is there ANYTHING out ther for this? (ie crystal reports designer)
i want to add something to create ad hoc reports over the internetweb, but from what i can see there is nothing out there that is a "viable" solution.
am i going to have to develop something by myself? if so what do you think the best approach would be, javascript? perhaps flash?
i must stay away from anything that is IE centric, for obvious reasons
thanks.

We use jfreechart. It is not as fully featured but it does the job for us and is free.

Advantage of using SAP product over third party products

Hi All,
I want to know whether there is any advantage of creating SAP product over the third party products in SLD.And if we want to remove Product at later stage can we do that ?
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Are you talking about creating an SAP product under SLD? For client developements it is suggested to create only 3rd party products in SLD for developing the interfaces.

Reports over internet

Hello,
I have a very general question about Reports on internet.
I am a long time user of Crystal Report included in Delphi apps, but I have no experience with web design.
I'd like to have some general information about what reporting over the web means. Basically, I want to be able to generate a report on the server and viewing it in a browser or in a normal CR Viewer. I plan to use .NET C# as development environment and latest CR2008.
What this means as 'server'? How the parameters can be send to the .rpt files? Can I have a 'normal' app on the client side?
Thanks for any points,
Ioan

Sharon, thanks for the hint.
This points me to the next question:
Is there a sample of such design?

Cannot execute report over portal (WWC-51000)

Hello forum,
i created a report in the report builder and then i tried to deploy it into our 10g AS Portal (new installation with one infrastructure machine and one portal machine). I registered the reports server and created report definition file access to this file. machine. I try to run the report over the "run as portlet" -link and i get following error message:
The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1109700064110 (WWC-51000)
if i try to execute the report over the "run"-link in the RDF-Access section i see following error message:
The requested URL /pls/portal/testprovider.RPT_testreport.show was not found on this server.
I placed the rdf-file in the reports/samples/demo directory of our portal instance machine. So what is wrong here , is the reports server wrongly configured? but where?
thanks for your help!!

Hi Jaya,
Have you got yot web template in an iview? Do you get an error when trting to access it form the portal?
Cheers,

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

Advantages of forms 6i, reports 6i, oracle 8i, 9i over previos version

PLease tell me new working features, screen layout changes of forms 6i over forms 4.5, reports 6i over reports 2.5, oracle 8i, 9i over oracel 7.x
Puneet

Hello,
I you follow the Note:338513.1 on Metalink, you can see the following:
Forms / Reports 6i patchset 16 or patchset 17 was certified to work against Oracle Server (RDBMS)+
+10g Rel 1 (10.1.x)+
Forms / Reports 6i has never been certified, nor will it ever be certified against Oracle Server (RDBMS) 10g Rel 2 (10.2.x) or Oracle Server (RDBMS) 11g (11.x).
+(This is because Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported - see important note below)+
Important Note: Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported e.g.
- If running in client-server mode, Forms / Reports 6i was desupported at end of January 2005
- If deploying over the web, Forms / Reports 6i (Oracle 9iAS Rel 1 Forms / Reports Services) was desupported at the end of June 2004
This means that Forms / Reports development will no longer provide an error correction service for Forms / Reports 6i (unless an organisation has purchased extended maintenance support) Therefore, Oracle strongly recommends that customers using desupported versions upgrade to a supported version e.g upgrade to Oracle Developer Suite 10g Rel 1 or 2 / Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 1 or 2

What the advantages of having an BAPI over Other data migrations

What the advantages of having an BAPI over Other data migrations

Th advantages of BAPI
1. Simple to use (its just an FM)
2. Not cumbersome like bdc
where we have to record each and every screen
sequence.
3. SAP guarantees the consistency
of bapi in future releases.
One of the big plusses for BAPIs is that the interface and function are not supposed to change. This is a big plus when you do upgrades or hot packs because the transaction can change (format, required inputs etc) which means you then need to update the call transaction.
Some of the BAPIs are better documented and easier to use than others.
You usually need to perform the BAPI that actually does the COMMIT after you call your BAPI.
The Program coding for calling a BAPI is usually cleaner than setting up the screen flow etc for the Call Transaction.
You don't need to worry about special data circumstances interrupting the normal data flow of the screens and causing errors because of that.
BAPIs probably have better performance since they don't do the screen flow processing.
In general if the BAPI exists for the transaction you want to perform and you can figure out how to use it the BAPI is probably the best way to go.
This is just from my experience working with both BAPI and Call Transaction. I have had some very good successes with BAPIs, but very occasionally found that I could not get the BAPI to perform the update I needed.
Refer the transaction BAPI for detail information.
You can also refer to below links:
http://www.sapgenie.com/abap/bapi/example.htm
Basic learning guide:
http://searchsap.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid21_gci948835,00.html
BAPI intro:
http://www.sappoint.com/abap/bapiintro.pdf
Overview:
http://www.planetsap.com/Bapi_main_page.htm
Also have a look at the following link :
http://www.planetsap.com/LIST_ALL_BAPIs.htm
Go through the following Document
Bapi to create customer master
BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA
BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1
Or you can use FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL
what is BAPI?
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module
ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access.
Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects.
You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository)
which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA.
In this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system
in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call.
Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types.
These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types.
Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs.
Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values,
for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved
and returned to the calling program.
The instance is identified via its key.
The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method.
BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed
so that they can be called several times within one transaction.
For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction,
the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2.
After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type,
for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type,
for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database
or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type.
The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created
and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst!
ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance.
These BAPIs are instance methods.

Java Connector(JCO) can call not only BAPI's but also the function modules which are remotely enabled..
BAPI's as i said earlier are remotely enabled function modules..
Hence, JCO can call also BAPI's(n not only BAPI's as u mentioned).
Check the following BDC over BAPI
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit
so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.

Months of impecable service form BT as an option 3 customer. (I've even recommended BT to people)
but
For the past 2 weeks peak traffic has murdered my connection.
I can get 14mbit off peak, and it used to drop to about 7-9 at peak times.
Now its down to 1-2mbit at peak times. (no i haven't breached FUP as I check my btinternet inbox for the 80GB warning)
I think its resonable to experience drop off but 90%!!!
BT advertising says fast speeds at peak times. less than 2mbit is not fast. (that the governments minimum standard!!!)
I don't know how to procede because when I'm experiencing these issues if I ring up I will end up waiting so long to speak to someone (because its peak time) the concection wiill be better again.
I can think of no recourse other than to approach trading standards...
Guarnetee me 5mbit at peak times (enough to stream HD iplayer) and I'd be happy
That is what BT vision customers are in essence are getting + what ever their PC is using.
Fair usage? what about Fair Supply.
