Diference between structure and infostructure

Hi All!
What is the difference between structure and infostructure in SAP.What are the pros and cons.
Please provide me any analysis on this?
Regards
Praneeth

hi Praneeth,
<b>Structure:</b>In structure there will be no data present.
Only the tables contains data.
Structures are meant for temporary passage of data and we can include tht structure in any tables..

  • Differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?

    What is the differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
    are they same?

    Tables :
    1. The place where the data is stored so that you can retrieve at any time.
    2. There can be more than one record stored
    Structures :
    1. The data / info stays only during the runtime of the application and will not get stored at all during the run time ....
    2. Only one record can be stored at the runtime .....
    A structure forms the skeleton of the table.
    A structure comprises components i.e., fields. Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth
    Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
    When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.

  • Assignment Between Structure and Single Field - CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES

    Hi, Need some help on this as I'm not familiar with Java programming.
    Basically in ABAP, we can assign a structure (with complex data type) into a field (please refer to link below).
    Now we need to do similar thing in PI, since PI only support Java then we need to perform similar logic as in CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES =>FILL_CONTAINER_C, but in Java. Understand that there's no concept of structure in Java, in this case PI will receive multiple fields (with different data type) and need to combine them into one field.
    I tried few Java command/method but it doesnt give me the same result as in the ABAP class. Appreciate your help if you know anything about this or some sample program that i can test. thanks!

    Hello Rika,
    In java we have collection framework instead...
    As per your requirement I understood :
    1. You will get a list of different type of objects as input.
    2. You want to club it in one unit....right...
    3. Once done.....I dont know what you will do with that.....I guess pass it somewhere.....
    Now, You can use ArrayList in java to club all your objects in one unit....and send it to any function you want....
    Arraylist list= new ArrayList();
        list.add(new MachineGun());
        list.add(new Gun());
    But there be carefull when you extract data from List....as you need to type cast them accordingly....
    Start trying it...and revert back if you face any problems.....
    While extracting you will have to use something like :
    if(list.get(0).getClass().getSimpleName().equals("MachineGun")){
       //here you can safely cast in the right class
           MachineGun mgun= (MachineGun )list.get(0);

    Thanks.

    The panel is the UI part of the VI. It can be divided into several panes which are simply different parts of the same panel, which can have seperate scrollbars, etc.

  • Diference between STO and Shipment order?

    Hi All ,
    There are two plants , one is manufacturing and other is sales .  In sales plant sales order is created and after MRP run Purchase requisition is created(for getting materisl from production plant) . In me59 we convert this Preq to shipment order.
    1)Can oyu please tell me whant is diference between STO and shipment order?
    2) Can you tell me what is the configuration to avoid creation of shipment order and system will only create the STO from Preq after executing Me59?
    Thanks
    Rohit Chavan

    Hi Chavan,
    Starting with "Shipmnt Order" definition => (from SAP Help):
       An order to a transportation service provider to ship goods from a shipper to a single consignee with agreed terms and conditions. The corresponding confirmation from the transportation service provider is also part of the business object.
       You can use this business object to subcontract the transportation of goods from a shipper to a single consignee if you cannot fulfill a shipment request yourself or if you regularly subcontract transportation services.
       You can also use this business object in the process of transportation service provider selection and tendering. The aim of both processes is to assign a suitable transportation service provider (TSP) to a shipment order.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_tm60/helpdata/en/66/dda98bb6b64c30b925f031bb0a2023/content.htm
    STO is just Stock Transport Order => functionality to move stock from one plant to another plant in two steps( inclidung GI in the sending plant and GR in the receiving plant).
    Usuall documnt flow in the STO process => PO(UB or NB order type), delivery, GI -> GR (done via migo for example).
    I believe that you can avoid cration of the Shipmnt order via correct selection on ME59 screen. Just something what is characteristic for STO and not for Shipmnt Orders.

  • Diference between DATA: and TYPES: on internal tables

    Hi people,
    Can somebody help me. I wanna know whats the diference between DATA: and TYPES: on internal tables
    and whitch has the best performance, here is a eg:
    DATA: BEGIN OF ti_sbook occurs 0,
              carrid   LIKE sbook-carrid,
              fldate   LIKE sbook-fldate,
              customid LIKE sbook-customid,
              loccuram LIKE sbook-loccuram,
           END OF ti_sbook.
    AND
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ti_sbook ,
              carrid   LIKE sbook-carrid,
              fldate   LIKE sbook-fldate,
              customid LIKE sbook-customid,
              loccuram LIKE sbook-loccuram,
           END OF ti_sbook.
    DATA: gw_sbook       TYPE  TABLE OF ti_sbook,
    gs_sbook       TYPE ti_sbook.
    witch of both types is better?
    thanks.

    Hi Marcelo,
    For compatibility matters is better to create internal tables with a work area separately. So yes it's better to use types. When you work with Object Oriented coding you will need to use internal tables defined with types. Also when defining tables with types is the new way of coding, the another coding is getting obsolete defined by SAP. That's why when working in ABAP with OO (Object Oriented) code you'll have to define tables with types and not the other way.
    Hope it helps.

  • Doubt about diference between SAPconsole and SAPmobile

    Hello,
         I have been many doubts about diference between sapconsole and sapmobile, if anyone could help me I appreciate.
    1) I have ECC6 instaled, the SAP Mobile is compatible with ECC6 or I need of Netweaver Instaled ?
    2) If Possible to Install Sap Mobile in ECC6 , I have to Buy a license of sap mobile ?
    3) in any product instaled Windows CE have possible to install sap mobile ?
    4) In sap console what is the requirement for to do this configuration?
    I Anybody to know about this informations please explain for me ?
    Thanks

    My apology, 
        The Basic Diference beteween SAPConsole and SAPMobile is :
    SAPConsole ==>  
    1 ) Don' t need a new Hardaware for to configurate
    2 ) Only need a Machine with the IIS service installed
    3 ) The SAPGui CD content the SAPCOnsole.exe for configuration
    4 ) The equipment like Pocket and datacolletor has been to configurated in a Network( but if to have a entrance in the SAPGUi indicate a SAProuter in another factory is possible to have acesses.. ) is a mandatory. Cause the SAPCOnsle folow the SAPGUI entrances and need a LAN or a WAN configurated.
    Advantage
    simple to congurated and chip.
    Easy to create to new window cause the SAPConsole only plubish this window in Browser.
    Disadvantage
    Need a lincense for each Poket or Datacolletor, wherever the equipment you will use.
    Doesn't have a Database  using through Browser (IE6 or IE7) this way , during the processes lost network you go to lost the information not saved.
    SAPMobile
    1 ) Need the a good Machine  with a instance of SAP configurate
    2 ) Have to found the EXE in the MarketPlace
    3 ) is not publish, and yes a client with the database configurate in equipment
    4 ) The equipment like Pocket and datacolletor has been to configurated in a Network
    Advantage
    Need only one SAP License, doesn't metter how many equipment  in use you have.
    As the SAPMobile has a Database in the client , if you lost the network it goes to save in the local database and when the network come back , it will to synchronize. This way you don't need to work online every moment, you get to synchronize after.
    Disadvantage
    You profit in license is your lost in the Machine cause the price of Machine is expensive.
    is configurate only in windows Mobile.
    The window only can be create for a Developement and not in the SAP, have been created in windows Mobile.
    A tip, the both is good but you can do a simple mathematics.
    In the SAPConsole how much money you go to spend is the least of the Machine s Price.
    If yes confurate the SAPConsole , if not configurate the SAPMobile

  • Diference between choice and message choice

    Hi
    I'm testing UIX. What is the diference between choice and message choice? When I can use this components?
    Thanks
    Liceth

    The messageChoice control is a combination of the choice and messageLayout controls. You can read about all the components in JDeveloper's help.
    The messageLayout control lays out a prompt, indexed children, end child, tip, and inline message (error message that displays below the choice, for example). Typically, the only indexed child of this bean will be a form element of some sort, but as many children as necessary can be added.
    The prompt can have an icon associated with the type of message. The bean's destination is attached to the icon to link to further information. It is also possible to indicate that user input is required.
    Clients can also add an "end" named child which will be rendered after the indexed children.
    To lay out multiple messageLayout beans the messageComponentLayout bean should be used. When messageLayout beans are placed inside a tableLayout or labeledFieldLayout the prompts will line up.

  • What is the difference between Structure and Work area

    Hi Guys,
    What is the difference between Structure and work area?
    Are they same with different names?
    Thanks,
    mini.

    hey buddies,*
    i had this same doubt for a long time and i have my finds with me ie wa and structure are the same but wa can hold a single record but structure cannot hold data in it but according to the previous posts  folks  say structure too holds data as wa does but i guess when debugging wa holds data and structure doesnt hold bcoz i tried.
    types : begin of str_mara,
                 matnr type mara-matnr,
                ernam type mara-ernam,
                end of str_mara.
    data it_mara type table of str_mara.
    select matnr ernam from mara into it_mara where matnr = '100-101'.
    *********************if folks say wa = structure,this should work,isn't it?*********************************
    loop at it_mara into str_mara.
    write:/ str_mara-matnr , str_mara-ernam.
    endloop.
    *******************but it throws an error saying that str_mara is not a wa*******************************
    i may not be correct too plz let me know if i'm wrong

  • Diference between RAC and Grid

    I have 9i r2 RAC.
    What is the diference between 10G RAC and 10g Grid?
    What are my options to migrate?
    What are the advantages and disadvantages between migrating to 10g RAC or migrating to 10g Grid?

    A lot of the differences are cosmetic. Parallel server in 8i became RAC in 9i became Grid in 10g. There is no such thing as 9i Parallel Server, nor is there such a thing as 10g RAC, at least from a marketing standpoint. Once you understand that, the major differences are incremental-- 10g is probably more maintainable and easier to set up than 9i, 10g is probably more scalable as well.
    Migration is just a database upgrade. The upgrade guide will enumerate your options.

  • Diference between close() and dispose()

    in Java Swings we had two methods to close a JFrame, i.e frame.dispose() and frame.hide() / or frame.setVisible(false).
    But in FX, we have a single methos to close the stage which is : Stage.close() and it is equivalent to hide().
    So does that mean, on calling stage.close(), the memory and the resources allocated to the stage remain intact and the stage is only vanished from the screen?
    Does that further imply, FX doesnt have any method to comple 'dispose' of the stage as in swings?
    please reply
    Edited by: 949779 on Jul 30, 2012 6:17 AM

    The docs donot say anything about the resource management done by Stages. Comparing it with Swing is useless since they're completely different.
    The reason for dispose() in Swing was that even when your code does not refer to a JFrame anymore, there are still native resources which refer to the JFrame which will keep it from being garbage collected. Dispose() releases those resources.
    In JavaFX the distinction between close and dispose is probably no longer needed because using weak refs they can track when the Stage is no longer referenced anymore and then release all resources associated with it (if it works that way at all).
    So, close() would 'hide' the Stage, and when it gets garbage collected an automatic 'dispose' occurs. If Stages needed any further special treatment I would expect a mention in the docs.

  • Diference between Consolidate and consolidate all with data

    I would like to get clarified on the differences between "Consolidate" and "Consolidate All" option in HFM while performing a consolidation.

    Consolidate finds only the part of the data that is impacted by changes and performs all calculation, translation and consolidation rules for only that part of data.
    Consolidate All on the other hand calculates everything even if there are no underlying changes
    Consolidate All With Data performs as the Consolidate All it skips entities that have no data inputted though

  • Oo diference between delpi and Java.

    I want to know what the oo differences are between java and delphi. I always thought delphi was a old not very advanced language, but I found out it supports encapsulation, inheritance, polymorfism and even interfaces.

    What OO differences are you concerned about, specifically?
    I've been away from Pascal since the '80s, so I don't know much about Delphi.
    Regardless, I would look into the following OO feature comparison (off the top of my head):
    - Multiple inheritance
    - Inner classes
    - Interfaces
    - Name Spaces
    - Type Safety
    - Garbage Collection / Memory Management
    - Reflection
