Are there any technical Differences between stanard R3 and ISU

Hello everyone,
I have recently been speaking to a client who is running ISU.  They are asking for assistance with thier landscape from a technical perspective (BASIS and DB).  i.e. monitoring db growth, reorgs, etc.
Now, I have been working in BASIS for over 10 years now, and am very comfortable with the above rols.  My question however is -  are there any "technical" differences between the standard SAP system, and ISU?  or are the differences mainly seen on the functional side?
Thank you very much for any insight any of you can provide.
Kind regards
Richard Rog

Hi Richard,
I have been a Basis administrator for IS-U/CCS systems for 7 years.  The points Juris made are correct. 
There are no new transactions or procedures for maintaining and monitoring an ISU system.  ISU "sits" on top of R/3.  The main ISU transaction for customer contact CIC0 has an HTML component that needs an ITS server.  In a 4.6C system you will need to maintain an external ITS.  In ECC 6.0 you will have an integrated ITS.  The main difference from a Basis perspective is support pack application. 
In 4.6C ISU is an add-in installed in SAINT.  There are conflict resolution support packages (CRT's) that are installed at the same time the SAP_APPL support packages are applied.  In fact SPAM recognizes the ISU add-in and won't let you upgrade APPL (and sometimes Basis) support packs without the CRT's.
In ECC 6.0 IS-U isn't an add-in any more and has it's own support packs in module IS-UT.  IS-U must be turned on though during an installation or upgrade.  This is done in SPRO with "Activate Business Funcitons".

  • Is there any actual difference between Release, Debug and Debug Local configurations in SSRS project?

    Is there any actual difference between Release, Debug and Debug Local configurations in SSRS project?
    For example in VC++ Debug build would have all optimization turned off (by default) and included additional Debug information in executable.
    Since there is no executable produced for SSRS - is there any actual difference between configurations? Or are they only for the purpose of deploying to different destination servers?

    Hi JoeSchmoe115,
    The Project Configuration and Configuration Manager is a feature supported by Visual Studio, on which Business Intelligence Development Studio or SQL Server Data Tools is based. We can use Configuration Manager to create and manage sets of project properties
    in project configurations. You are right that the project configurations is only for deployment purpose in a Report Server project.

    Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

    Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time.  If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

  • Is there any architectural difference between CSC-SSM and AIP-SSM modules

    Hello security gurus!
    I'm wondering if there's any chance to make Content security module (CSC-SSM) work as IPS (AIP-SSM). It seems to me they are absolutely identical in terms of hardware. Is there any chance to make CSC-SSM boot with the flash from AIP-SSM and have the ASA recognize it as an IPS module ?
    Eugene

    Zheka,
    This is not recommended and you will loose support, these are different devices designed for different purposes, you will also have issues with the license, I have seen it one once, and the customer did it by mistake, the module eventually crashed and we had to add the proper image.

  • Is there any cosmetic difference between iphone 4 and 4s ?

    can anyone tell me how if i am only looking at them cosmetically if there is an obvious difference ??

    The volume buttons are slightly offset and the breaks in the aluminum band around the phone are slightly different. That's pretty much it. I'd have to look at them side by side, but there may be a slight visible difference in the camera lense as well.

  • Any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon, & other questions

    I am thinking of buying an iPad mini with retina display (32gb). This would most likely be the only iPad I would ever own. I would use it mostly at the house with wifi, but would like to have one with cellular for when we travel in the US and Canada, and for when the electricity goes out. We currently live in a location where both AT&T and Verizon are viable options, but sometime in the next year we hope to move. The state is rural and mountainous, so as we drive around, my spouse's iPhone (with an AT&T plan) often loses service, but so does my Jitterbug phone, which is not tied to any one carrier (as far as I know). A phone can get a signal in one locaton, but then lose it a few feet down the road. So, there is no way I can choose between AT&T or Verizon based on coverage because both are options right now and there is no way to predict which one(s), if any, might provide service to wherever we end up moving to. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon (or any other of the possible carriers) in what they offer or how they work or what they charge and so on that can help me decide which one to choose since it is my understanding that once I pick one of them for an iPad, that decision can never be changed without purchasing a new device. (e.g., I had read somewhere that Verizon does not allow for voice and data at the same time, but since an iPad is not a phone, is that even an issue?) Also, will the iPad work if there is only regular 4G or 3G service? And will a cellular iPad work without signing up for a data plan since I expect to start with only wifi and then add a data plan later? Thank you.

    Alfred DeRose, Thank you for answering the second and third questions. Judging by what you wrote, I am assuming there are no differences between what AT&T and Verizon offer that affects iPads, other than looking at coverage area and the cost of "pay as you go" plans. And, as noted, coverage is not something I can base a decision on at this time. So, I either flip a coin to choose between AT&T and Verizon and hope the result is the right one after we move to wherever we end up finding a place to live, or I continue to wait for another year or more until we actually find a new house before I buy an iPad (or maybe a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"to save money, but I think I've probably settled on an iPad mini retina 7.9" despite its smaller screen). That does not move me along the decision-making process at all, but it is what it is.
    Greatcall has not answered my question about what carrier(s) the Jitterbug Plus phone uses. If, in fact, it uses just the Verizon network, I will try to pay better attention to any possible differences in service areas between that phone and my spouse's iPhone as we travel around the state to see if that helps at all. But coverage is so location specific here that I don't think it will.

  • 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.

  • Is there any performance difference between unique and no unique index

    Hi,
    We are working with both databases Oracle and MS-SQL and we have an open channel to MS-SQL server core team.
    We got the word from them that there is a difference between unique and no unique index from the optimizer perspective, i.e. the optimizer knowing that the index is unique may choose a more suitable plan for running a specific query, we're still trying to find a specific example.
    Anyway, since we do not have an open channel to Oracle core, I thought maybe one of you guys knows something about Oracle optimizer behavior on this issue.
    I am interested verified answers from certified sources and not suggestions or thoughts.
    Thanks in advanced,
