Diff. between PPF and OUTPUT TYPES

hi,
  can anybody tell the exact diff. bet.PPF and OUTPUT TYPES.
ppf is the advance method of output types.
could anybody pls explain breifly

Hi
     Post Processing Framework allows you to process actions for different output types such as printing, sending emails, or faxing using Smart Forms. Since SAP applications work on the document concept (i.e., they generate documents for key business events or processes), they can also trigger a workflow or user exit to perform functions based on the conditions you configure. This technology replaces the output control in R/3 with a wider functional scope that is simple to maintain, use, and connect to another SAP system, a non-SAP system, or any other subsystem.
Post Processing Framework (PPF) technology is a uniform interface available since SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.7. Part of the SAP Web Application Server (Web AS), PPF can trigger workflow for email, fax, and print, or can call another method, such as sending data to another subsystem. The actions are based on the conditions that you configure.
PPF has tools for scheduling, starting, and monitoring actions. Determining, generating, and processing actions can either take place automatically or with user interaction. A condition trigger could be a preset condition the system can look for, such as a price higher than a certain amount, or it could be based on a user action, such as an approval in the case of workflow.
I’m going to show you how to set up actions that trigger application documents. The system supplies some samples, so you can use Copy with Reference and make your own changes to predefined configurations, or you can take the approach of creating your configuration from scratch using the wizard. I’ll explain the two methods:
Create and modify PPF directly in the Web AS configuration in the application area. I’ll start with the customizing steps, as they explain the configuration from the application point of view.
Create a PPF definition using the wizard, a quick setup tool that focuses on the technical setup of the PPF. Using a wizard, you get the same results in terms of the technical settings for the PPF configuration as if you had used the configuration steps directly. The wizard provides application area detail and pre-populated information and it is the best practice. It can help when you create a new action that differs widely from those you already have.
The wizard, however, helps you perform the definition only — you must do other associated configurations directly in the application area.

  • Types of  DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP

    Hi experts,
    What is DTP ,  are the Types of  DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP , how it works in BI 7.0.
    I will assign points for your valuable answers.

    Hello ,
    Data transfer process (DTP) to transfer data within BI from one persistent object to another object, in accordance with certain transformations and filters. In this respect, it replaces the data mart interface and the InfoPackage. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the InfoPackage only loads data to the entry layer of BI (PSA).
    The data transfer process makes the transfer processes in the data warehousing layer more transparent. Optimized parallel processing improves the performance of the transfer process (the data transfer process determines the processing mode). You can use the data transfer process to separate delta processes for different targets and you can use filter options between the persistent objects on various levels. For example, you can use filters between a DataStore object and an InfoCube.
    Data transfer processes are used for standard data transfer, for real-time data acquisition, and for accessing data directly.
    1.Benefit: Data ‘Distribution’within BI Capabilities (from PSA or InfoProviders to InfoProviders)
    2.Improved transparency of staging processes across data warehouselayers (PSA, DWH layer, ODS layer, Architected Data Marts)
    3.Improved performance and high scalability
    4.Separation of delta mechanism for different data targets: delta capability is controlledby the DTP
    5.Enhanced filtering in dataflow
    6.Repair modus based on temporary buffers (buffers keep complete set of data)
    See these docs for more info

  • Diff bet IDOC and Message Types.

    What are the difference between IDOC and Message types.
    Diff between MATMAS01 ,MATMAS02 and MATMAS03

    IDOCs:
    - IDOC is an Intermediate Document. It is simply a data container used to exchange information between any two processes  that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data.
    An IDOC is created as a result of executing an Outbound ALE or EDI process.
    In an inbound ALE or EDI process, an IDOC serves as input to create an application document. When an IDOC is created in the system , an unique number(16 Digits) is assigned to it.IDOC will wait until the Remote System is Active.
    Basic Idoc Type: Basic Idoc type defines the structure and format of the business document
    that is to be exchanged between  two systems. Basic Idoc type can refer to an SAP provided
    basic IDOC type or a customer developed basic IDOC type.
    - A basic IDOC type has the following characteristics:
    Name : A basic Idoc type can be assigned upto a thirty character name.
    List of permitted segments: The segments make up the IDOC structure.
    Hierarchy of segments : The hierarchy of segments specifies the physical sequence and any parent - child relationship in the segments.
    Mandatory Vs Optional Segments : When used in the IDOC type, each segment has an attribute that defines whether the segment  is option or mandatory. Minimum/Maximum range for each segment: It defines the maximum and minimum number of timesa data record corresponding to a segment cn exist in an IDOC.
    -Segments : A segment defines the format and structure of a data record. Segments are reusable componets. A segment consists of various fields that represent data in data record.
    IDOC Record Types:
    1. Control Record : The control record contains all of the control information about an IDOC, this information basically includes the IDOC number, sender and receiver information, and information such as the message type it represents and the IDOC type. 
    - there is only one control record per IDOC.
    - The stucture of the control record is the same for all the IDOCs and is defined by SAP.
    - The structure of the control record is defined by the data dictionary structure EDI_DC40. The control record is stored in the EDIDC table.
    2. Data Record : Data records contain the application data. A data record has two sections
    Administrative Section and a Data section.
    - The Administrative section cotain the segment name, client, IDOC number, segment number, hierarchy level information.
    - The Data section of a data record is a stram of 1000 bytes where the actual data resides.
    - The data record is defined by the data dictionary structure EDI_DD40.
    - Data records for IDOCs stored in the EDID4 table.
    3. Status Record : Status records are attaced to an IDOC throughout the process as the IDOC achieves different milestones or encounters an error. At every milestone a statu code, date and time are assigned.
    - Status codes 01 to 49 are reserved for OUtbound process, 50 and above are reserved for inbound processes.
    <u><b>IDOC TYPE IS AN INSTANCE OF IDOC</b></u>
    Message Type: Identifies what type of information transformed between logical systems or partners.Message type is not   a   local object type , it is transportable.
    For different applicatons we have different MESSAGETYPE.
    example:
    <u>APPLICATION</u>                <u>  MESSAGETYPE</u>
    MATERIAL MASTER                       MATMAS
    VENDOR MASTER                          CREMAS
    CUSTOMER MASTER                      DEBMAS
    MATMAS01, MATMAS02, MATMAS03, MATMAS04, MATMAS05 are all MESSAGETYPES  ... FOR NEW VERSIONS LIKE SAP 4.7EE, SAP ECC5.0....we have to use MATMAS05 message type. for older versions like SAP R/3 we have to use MATMAS01.

  • Diff Between Interfaces and API

    Hi to all.
    Can anybody tell me , What is the basic diff between API and Interfaces ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Lalit,
    Both place validation will happen. In Interface table as well as in API.
    The difference you can say..for interface you have to load the data in and invoke the import program by which it will populate data in oracle apps base table. So you have to write some DML.
    While in API you can simply use PLSQL record type and using that invoke API by which it will populate record in oracle apps base table.
    Keep in mind both ways the validation happens. It is just the approach and some part is just for legacy data conversion.

  • Diff. between table and template in smartforms

    hi there,
    please tell me what the diff. between table and template options available in smartforms

    HI
    GOOD
    TABLES=>
    In forms of business procedures you usually want to list details such as open items of an invoice. You can use a Smart Form to display this data in a table. You can design the layout of the table independent of the number of lines it will contain. The size of the table depends on how much data the application program passes to the form at runtime (unlike with templates, where you specify the number of columns and lines explicitly). The table can cover one or more pages, depending on the number of lines. This is why you display tables in the main window.
    TEMPLATES=>
    Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the application program. For this reason, a template is also called a static table.
    To create a template, define a table layout to determine the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to display the contents of the inferior nodes of the template node. This allows you to position text and a graphic side by side (see Displaying Graphics in Templates).
    The template node is also suited for label printing.

  • What is the different between component and component type in extract struc

    Hi All,
    What is the different between component and component type in the Extract Structure?
    I used them, but I never really know the different between them yet.
    Thanks,
    Grace

    The difference between Component and Component Type are:
    Component This is essentially the field name in the extraction structure. These can either be SAP delivered field names or custom field names (e.g. Y* or Z*).
    Component Type This defines the data definition for the field, along with associated attrributes and descriptions for anything using that Component Type, to define the corresponding Component. If you double-click on any Component Type in an extraction structure, it will show you the definitions that have been setup for that Component Type (will display as Data Element but it's essentially synonymous - Component Type refers to structures and Data Elements refer to tables).

    GerdW,
    I realise now I have taken us in the wrong direction. apologies for that.
    History, this is not my code and I do not own the process and NOT my preferred method of using it. I was looking for a simple way to make subtle changes.
    What we do - We use these programs to collect data from typically 6 pressures and 6 temperature probes and capture RS232 / USB VISA strings from sensors.
    So every few weeks / months or up to a year we rearrange each sensor location to suit the new process. I did not write the code. I cannot change the procedure too much without resistance.
    So headers in the CSV file have the DaqMX string passed through the code. Great.
    Other data to the CSV file comes from calculations or extracted from the VISA string. Hence why we have headers with "Untitled 1 ()". These values also go to a History Chart.
    So I was looking for a simple way to read the the local variable label as it is always linked to the front page indicator. People can cope with editing the indicator label, save the VI and hit run.
    TL;DR - GerdW is now a psychologist.

  • Whats the diff between express and pro??

    Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

    Matt Mac 63, "Whats the diff between express and pro??" #5, 10:33pm Oct 18, 2005 CDT
    All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
    Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
    Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
    Input Objects:
    In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
    Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
    If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
    They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
    All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
    yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
    The SOS author's claim that:
    you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
    is not true in totality.
    It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
    But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

    =========================
    what is diff between billing and invoice?
    From the help for cash order, it says that the invoice will print immediately after order created, the billing will be done seperately by transaction after delivery. Can anyone explain more detail.
    =================
    based on ur query.. Billing and Invoice are one and the same.. the difference is that in general business terminology Billing means the process of crediting the customer to the certain sum of money either by cash or credit, for the goods or services purchased by him... this process consists of many other documents like credit note, debit note, invoice, etc. 
    Invoice is the Printed format of the Bill ie, the sum of amount the customer is credited is made available in the printiable format....
    dont get confused by the Billing and Invoice words.. in simple way invoice is one of the documents generated during the billing process.. Billing is a process which consists of various different documents which are generated depending on the business requirements...
    Reward if USeful
    Thanx & regards.

    Use
    declare the field b_vbeln of length u want adding length for 2 '0' also.
    ex:- Vbeln length = 10
           b_vbeln  type i length 12.
    b_vbeln = vbeln.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
    input = b_vbeln
    IMPORTING
    OUTPUT = b_vbeln.
    U will get b_vbeln with 2 '0' or always the value be of 12 length.
