Hi all,
Please let me try to clarify this discussion. "SAP BW" is the former standalone component name. We now refer to "Business Intelligence" or "BI" instead of "BW", EXCEPT when making reference to the release numbers for older versions, e.g., SAP BW 3.1 Content. Now, of course, BI is just a part of the SAP NetWeaver platform. SAP BW 3.5 is the BI component of SAP NetWeaver 2004 - we had already name the component before the merge into the platform, hence the continuing use of "BW". With the latest release, BI is simply part of SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
So, from a terminology perspective, SAP NetWeaver BI is simply an evolution from SAP BW.
If you want to know the differences between the current SAP BW 3.x releases and SAP NetWeaver 2004s, please search the SAP NetWeaver 2004s forum that was set up for BI at /community [original link is broken], which contains several threads with both a discussion of the new features and links to more information. This question has also been posted more than once to this forum! Please search the forums first before starting a new thread.

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Difference between Business Analyst SAP SD and SAP SD consultant

Hi friends
I need openion about what is difference between Business Analyst SAP SD and SAP SD consultant.
Raj

Both the roles are more likely the same, In consulting companies like IBM, Deloitte , TCS and others SAP functional anlayst is a more popular term but if you work directly with a SAP client - SAP Business Analyst is what they refer to a functional anlayst. Most of the responsibilities are same but they are some roles which require more of ANALYST person who can gather requirements, GAP Analysis, IS - TO BE and etc and less of configuration or customization in SAP therefore they sometimes call it SAP Business Analyst but in both cases the configuration knowledge and experience about specific modules is required.
Thanks

SAP hostagent and SAP netweaver nodes not visible in WIEM

Hi,
We are implementing SAP BusinessObjects performance monitoring through
RSC. RSC SP3
We have installed SMD Agent on BOE server which forms "Managed Agent".
We have utilising existing WIEM installed in SOlution Manager.
We have installed SMD Agent on client desktop whicn forms "Managing
Agent" since Solution Manager does not have connectivity to internet
even through proxy server.
We have run configuration UI for Managing Agent which completed
successfully.
The configuration setup of Managed Agent also completed successfully.
But, as informed in the installation guide the "SAP HostAgent" and "SAP
NetWeaver" processes & nodes are not created in WIEM.\ check configuration 6.3.3 in RSC SP3 guide/
We checked connectivity & port settings and we have no issues.
Kindly suggest
Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
I see where the problem is coming from by analyzing the debugging logs.
When you ran the RSCSetup.bat and you were prompted for the Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager connection details and you put in:
HOSTNAME: CPHSMAD1
PORT: 8081
This is incorrect. That port number is the HTTP port of Wily Introscope, not the WIEM port. You must use the WIEM port which by default is port 6001 (this port will be the same as when you log on to WIEM via the Wily Introscope Investigator client)
Please do the following to correct the problem:
1) On the managed host (CPWBOAD1) run the RSCSETUP.BAT again. Choose deactivate and allow the process to finish.
2) On the managed host, uninstall the SMDAgent (with SID PRD) by running sapinst again and choose "uninstall"
3) On the managed host reinstall the SMDAgent (RSC Diagnostic Agent) again.
4) Confirm the new SMDAgent (PRD) service is running. If it isnt, start it.
5) On the managed host, run the RSCSETUP.bat again and make sure to choose the correct "Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager" port and host name (for example, CPHSMAD1 and 6001)
6) Now on the managing host, run the RSC UI Configuration Wizard again. The SMDAgent should appear now.

Toby

Difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query

Hello Experts-
Is there any difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query. If yes, I will appreciate if you can provide some input.
Thanks,

Hi,
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. 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 reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
The SAP Query comprises five components: Queries, InfoSet Query, InfoSets, User Groups and Translation/Query.
Classic reporting- the creation of lists, statistics and ranked lists- are covered by the InfoSet Query and Queries components. Other components range of functions cover the maintenance of InfoSets, the administration of user groups and also the translation of texts created in the SAP Query.
All data required by a user for a report can be read from various tables.
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. In the WYSIWYG mode, you can edit the lists using Drag & Drop and various toolbars.
AD Hoc Query
Definition
A Web item that enables you to create and change queries in a Web application on an ad-hoc basis.
Use
You can use the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item in the Web Application Designer to structure Web applications in which you create or change queries. The Web item is as a tool for designing ad-hoc queries in a Web environment.
In particular it enables you to:
·        Create queries by assigning characteristics from an InfoProvider to rows, columns, filters, and free characteristics, and including key figures from the InfoProvider in the key figure structure of the query.
·        Restrict or filter key figures and characteristics
·        Use predefined key figure structures and restricted or calculated key figures in the query
·        Set or change query properties and key figure/characteristic properties in the query
·        Create or change conditions and exceptions
When compared with the BEx Query Designer, the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item has the following restrictions when creating or changing queries:
·        You cannot integrate variables into the query directly.
However, you can use variables in reusable structures, or restricted or calculate key figures, which are used in the Ad-hoc Query Designer
·        The query can contain only one structure. This structure has to be the key figure structure and be in the rows or columns of the query.
-        You cannot use key figures or key figure structures in the filter.
-        You cannot define exception cells, since this requires two structures.
You cannot create the following objects using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item:
-         Reusable structures
-         Reusable restricted key figures
-         Reusable calculated key figures
-        Local calculated key figures
You can create local, restricted key figures using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item.
You can edit existing queries in the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item, if the queries adhere to the restrictions laid out above The Ad-hoc Query Designer checks these requirements when loading a query. If the query is too complex, the query can be loaded into the Ad-hoc Query Designer but you cannot change it there. You then receive the appropriate message. You can still check and execute the query.
"Ad Hoc" is a Latin phrase which means "for this purpose" and in today's parlance generally means "on the fly," or "spontaneously."
An ad hoc query is a query that is run at the spur of the moment, and generally is never saved to run again. These queries are run using a SQL statement created by a tool or an administrator. So therefore, such a query is one that might suit a situation which is only there for the moment and later on will become irrelevant.
As queries become more complex, it can be difficult to write them correctly ad-hoc. To help with this, one can instead write the knowledge needed for queries as business rules in English, and then use a system called "Internet Business Logic" to automatically generate and run the SQL queries. One can then get explanations of the results, in English, at the business level.

IDOC type for interface between SAP ECC and SAP F&R

Hi Experts,
I need SAP standatd IDOC type for interfacing between SAP ECC and SAP F&R [SAP Forecasting and Replenishment] using message type u201CFRE_LOC_SITEu201D.
Please help me in finding the idoc type?

Hi Denish,
You have 2 ways of loading data from R/3 to APO.
1. R/3 to BW cube to APO-BW cube to APO planning area
or
2. R/3 to APO-BW cube to APO planning area
BW can be a enterprise BW system ( independent) or you can use the BW inbuilt in APO also referred to as APO-BW.
The only difference between the 2 BW systems is APO-BW can not take the load of reporting where as the enterprise BW can.
Unless your company policy requires the enterprie BW system, I suggest using 2nd way.
You can load the data from R/3 to APO-BW cube using extractors either generic or standard depending on your data. You need to have a RFC connection setup between APO-BW and R/3. ( This is not CIF).
When you load the data into the APO-BW cube, you just have to load the data from the cube to APO planning area using the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
Refer to [DP Data Mart|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/13/5ada58309111d398250000e8a49608/frameset.htm] for more information about the data transfer between APO-BW and APO.

SAP XML and SAP IDOC XML

Hi Friends,
Can any one tell me what is the difference between SAP XML and SAP IDOC XML?
Regards,
Kumar

Hi,
Various XML standards are supported by SAP. It presents data according to an SAP specification either in IDoc-XML or BAPI-XML, the SAP XML extensions for IDocs and BAPIs. It uses preprepared representations of the SAP interfaces to XML Commerce Business Language (xCBL) messages to facilitate communication with the MarketSet marketplaces.
Messages are stored in a generic envelope. This envelope contains metadata that controls, among other things, the routing of the messages. SAP supports two different standards for these envelopes - Microsoft BizTalk and a format similar to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Packaging SAP BAPIs in a standard envelope offers several advantages, including direct processing of messages by external applications and a uniform system of error handling.

Andrea Maraviglia

Ciao Andrea,
just a couple of hints:
- Did you already tried to skip logon to BOE and instead directly select BW system? this should avoid to involve snc and then BEx query should be accessible. This would be a further confirmation that issue is the SNC, even if the log you posted is pretty clear about that.
- Do you have snc installed even in local PC running MS Advanced Analysis? I Think it is necessary for the described workflow (page 24 of Admin Guide):
"With SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as the BI platform, single sign-on works if the following conditions
are true:
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is configured correctly for single sign-on. For more information,
see u201CConfiguring SAP authenticationu201D in the Integration for SAP Solutions Install and Admin Guide
at http://service.sap.com/bosap-instguides SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) >
Integration for SAP Solutions > XI 3.1.
u2022 Secure Network Communications (SNC) is installed on each client PC. For more information, see
SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP NetWeaver > SAP NetWeaver Library > SAP
NetWeaver by Key Capability > Security > Network and Transport Layer Security > Secure
Network Communications.
u2022 Each end user has a user account in the connected BW system."
Furthermore, if I rember correctly, there could be restriction in license using SAP Cryptographic Library (client connection is not supported: SAP notes 597059 and 397195), so you should check your SNC software.
Hope it could hep.
Regards.
Roberto.
