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.

  • ABAP Reports and SAP Query

    Hi Experts,
    I have question regarding ABAP Reports, SAP Query, and Transaction with variant.  How are we securing one the above reports that we assign them through pfcg.  We can secure custom program by custom transaction or define the auth group in S_PROGRAM auth object but in this case we have to assign SA38 in production. is that correct?
    Please help me understand difference between the ABAP reports and SAP query. Is the ABAP reports same as Program or they are different.
    Thanks in advance
    Faisal

    Hi,
    1) End user security (role matrix coordinate with process team)
    This role Matrix design is most important where we can put restrictions and use SoD.
    2) Secure Table (by auth group)
    Table TDDAT and use of transaction se54 for security tables to right auth Groups. Secure s_tabu_dis, s_tabu_cli.
    3) Secure program (as you said ABAP reports are referred to Program)
    Use of table TPGP and program RSCSAUTH for assignment of groups to Program. SA38 Running of SA38 requires a minimum SUBMIT in user Action. A user having SA38 is dangerous as he/she is now enabled to run any report. Hence protection in Auth Group is needed. Verify each and every program is having authority check statement and Auth Group or not before assigning sa38. As you mentioned its best to avoid SA38 and create CUSTOM TXN for each report.
    (We should also SECURE S_DEVELOP in Production properly along with ur points. Please Note).
    4) Secure some batch jobs roles for batch job
    Secure by s_btch* objects and less access to se36.
    5) Create support roles for cutover activity during Go-live
    That is always needed. Go ahead.
    6) Emergency roles & IT roles for support
    This is very much needed as a role of Mitigation and Fire Fighting for Temporary access. Ensure to enable ur audit parameters in RZ10 (rsau* sm20,RSLG* for sm21). Give emergency access but enable audit via sm19 and get audit reports from sm20 and sm21 immediately after the use of emergency access.
    There are also other auth objects we need to be care ful which is a long list and hope every body ensures that (s_cts,a_admi,s_trans, tables ssm_cust, prgn,t000) etc and a host of others. Besh wishes. Let us know if any issue.

  • What is diff bet EDI and XI?

    Hi Friends
    What is diff bet EDI and XI?
    Regards
    Vinny Novice

    "EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."
    The business data is saved in IDoc format in the IDoc Interface and is forwarded as IDocs. If an error occurs, exception handling is triggered using SAP tasks. The agents who are responsible for these tasks and have the relevant authorizations are defined in the IDoc Interface.
    Features
    The IDoc Interface supports three types of data flow with the external system:
    ·        Outbound processing
    IDocs are transferred to a receiving system from your SAP System.
    ·        Inbound processing
    IDocs are transferred to your SAP System from an upstream system.
    ·        Status processing
    XI
    SAP XI is based on general standards so as to enable external systems to be integrated. At the center of the infrastructure is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). The application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML (eXtensible Markup Language) schema from the sender to the receiver using the Integration Server.

    ●     Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow
    ●     Runtime for message and process management
    ●     Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components
    ●     Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes

    Hi Surya
    Bidding engine is the component in SAP SRM that we use to conduct RFx adn Live Auctions.
    You can do RFx and Auctions both in SAP SRM and SAP E-Sourcing.
    Inside SRM RFx is also called Bid Invitation.
    In SAP E-Sourcing its called RFx (x could be I=Information, P=Proposal, Q=Quotation)

    EX: in the standrad report for Absences
    the client may ask for
    PERNR   NAME    position   Department  Absence type start date Endate
    in the standrad report u can get the PERNR and Absence type and start date and end date

  • Diff bet transfer and update routine

    Hi experts,
    can u plz.. clearly explain me.. the diff bet transfer and updatwe routine.. with scenario... i just want to know.. abt... it.. i went thru.. help.. but... not got clearly...
    *points fully assured*
    Regards
    Rekha

    Both the do the same.
    Trnsfer routine will perform the required transformation in the transfer rules while the update routine will do the same in the update rules.
    The purpose of these routines is when you wish to transform the incoming records by performing some checks and validations before the data get into the data targets.
    A realtime example will be:
    You bring in profit cemtre transaction data and for each profit centre record you wish to check if it has value type indicator. The business rule is if there is no such indicator, either reject the record or tag a value of 10.
    Since this is to be checked for each record, we do it in the transfer routine or in update routine.
    Also, you would have heard of start routine; if  a logic is to be applied on the whole data package, then you do it in start routine.
    In 7.0, all these things got replaced bu start routine, expert routine and end routine.

  • What is diff bet. facade and adapter pattern?

    What is diff bet. facade and adapter pattern?

    An adapter is an interpretor between two classes, it converts the interface of one class so it can be used by another expecting that interface. Adapters are also known to be a concrete class that implements the all interface methods so that objects don't have to produce all interface methods.
    The delegate pattern is the one stop shop that handles requests, and performs those requests on a high number of subsystems. For example, the session bean facade has verb methods that once involked will gather multiple entity beans to perform that one duty.
