Diff between Upgrade and migration

hi All,
Can you please explain as to what is the difference between upgradation and migration. Also can you please explain as to when would a company go for a upgrade and when it would go for migration.
My another question is, What does it mean when a company says that they are going to perform a new installation of BI 7.0. Does that mean that they do not have any previous versions of BW
Thanks

hi,
Upgrade - the user might be already using any of the BW version and he wants the new version thats upgradation

Hi,
I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
Hope this helps.

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

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 Distributionwithin 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

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.

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 cusztmizing and workbench request

could u please let me know what is diff between workbench and custmizing req ?
Regards

Hello,
customizing req vs workbench request
Check this info.
Workbench Requests
When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.
Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.
Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.
Customizing requests
Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards,
Jorge Diogo

Diff. between currency and unit fields

Hi All,
What is the diff. between 0DOC_CURRCY and 0CURRENCY, OUNIT and 0BASE_UOM? In which scenarios do we use each of them?
I have a flat file which contains some values for sales and quantity but does not have any units. So I have to upload them using constant currency and unit. now, I have to create my own keyfigures for the sales and quantity. What currency and unit fields should I use i.e 0CURRENCY or 0DOC_CURRCY and OUNIT or 0BASE_UOM?
Thanks a lot,
James.

hi James,
0doc_currency, 0currency share the same master data->0currency, 0unit, 0base_uom share the same master data->0unit, the 'basic' infoobject is 0currency and 0unit, all currency and unit will have reference to these infoobjects.
currency is used for keyfigures amount, with currency e.g usd, gbp, etc.
unit for keyfigures quantity, with unit like KG, CM etc.
currency tables are TCUR* and unit table T006*
you can use any of these infoobject currency or unit in your keyfigure (RSD2) or fix value like USD etc, normaly 0doc_currcy used for document currency; 0loc_currcy for local currency, you can create your own infoobject currency/unit with RSD3.
hope this helps.
