Difference between a Solution Manager project, and IMG project.

Hello,
We are in process of installing and thereby configuring scenarios for Solman 4.
While reading about it on help.sap.com, I came across following:
<b>
"<i>The Change Tracking function of Change Request Management allows you to track everything that relates to changes within the context of a Solution Manager project, or an IMG project."</i></b>
Please help me here by clarifying difference between two.
regards, Shantanu

Hi Shantanu,
Let us assume you have captured everything w.r.to an SAP Implementation project in Solution Manager and this project has gone live. Here all details relating to an SAP Project are captured in a Solution Manager Project. Solution Manager project acts as a container to hold all the details relating to the SAP Project.
Now when this SAP Project comes in the support/maintenance phase, whenever a small change needs to be done to this SAP Solution, it will be raised as a Change Request. This change request will be captured in Solution Manager (starting from the point when the request was raised from an end user as a support message, which eventually might have evolved as a Change Request). All details about this change request, its approval workflow, task control being transferred to different roles(people), movement of the request along the transport path, everything is captured and controlled in the Solution Manager Project.
So, we are clear about Solution Manager Project now.
What is an IMG Project?
For each and every component involved in this SAP project, an IMG project will be created with the same name as the Solution Manager Project in the component systems. These IMG projects in the Satellite systems are the same as the normal Project IMGs which we use in any SAP Project to hold all details relating to an SAP Project w.r.to that component.
In the context specified by you, it has been told that any changes w.r.to a Solution Manager project or an IMG project can be tracked in CHARM. It is because any change that is requested w.r.to any component(say SRM or ECC) will result in a change in the details captured in Solution Manager project about that SAP Project, and also will result in a change in the details captured in the appropriate Project IMG (say SRM or ECC).
Hope it is clear.
Dont forget to reward points for useful answers.
best regds,

Differences Between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server Events

Dear All,
Does anyone know the differences between Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution in Project Server?
In http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg204879(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg200978(v=office.15).aspx, they stated same definitions for both Optimizer Solution and Planner Solution.
Thank you.

Not entirely sure, but I'd guess they are the same. This is probably a relic of the old Portfolio Server which had Planner and Optimizer as separate modules. My guess is that some of that got grandfathered in to Project Server, but due
to functionality creep, ended up meaning pretty much the same thing.

Hi Nilesh,
Looking at the image below, you will find out that ECC6 is under SAP ERP, and SAP ERP is under SAP Solution:
SAP solution is of a bigger element and ECC 6 is a component of it.

Difference between nio-file-manager and nio-memory-manager

Hi,
what's the difference between nio-file-manager and nio-memory-manager? The documentation doesn't really discuss the differences as far as I know. They both use nio to store memory-mapped files don't they? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?
When to choose the first one and when the second when storing a large amount of data? Can both be used to query data with the Filter API? Are there size limits on both?
Best regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
The difference is that one uses a memory mapped file and one uses direct nio memory (as part of the memory allocated by the JVM process) to store the data. Both allow storing cache data off heap making it possible to store more data with a single cache node (JVM) without long GC pauses.
If you are using a 32 bit JVM, the JVM process will be limited to a total of ~3GB on Windows and 4GB on Linux/Solaris. This includes heap and off heap memory allocation.
Regarding the size limitations for the nio-file manager Please see the following doc for more information.
With the release of 3.5 there is now the idea of a Partitioned backing map which helps create larger (up to 8GB of capacity) for nio storage. Please refer to the following doc.
Both can be used to query data but it should be noted that the indexes will be stored in heap.

Relationship between Solution Manager Diagnostic and CCMS

We are just now looking at Solution Manager Diagnostics and central monitoring in Solution Manager. One thing we are not clear on, and haven't seen anything definitive on, is the relationship between these and CCMS.
Any insight or link to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff Henke

Solution Manager Diagnostics is a diagnostic tool, not a real-time monitoring and alerting tool. CCMS is for real-time monitoring and alerting, and SMD does in fact get data from your CCMS agents, as well as from saposcol and Wily Introscope.
Hope that helps,
David.

Difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.

hi,
anyone knows the differences difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.
anykind of links or files are helpful.
regards.
raman.

Hi,
actually quite a late response and I think all the rather technically focuses comments have already been given, incl. the link to a really good slide deck, that explains all the technical architecture details on what exactly we did.
From an end user perspective some other statements on what we did:
(1) From an information architecture and visualization perspective we acted based on feedback from our customers in the last years, which led to some restructuring of the screen, e.g. moving the navigation bar from the top area of the screen (horizontal) to the left hand side --> sounds simple but users tend to have problem seeing thing at the top of the screen. We also decided to arrange the information for e.g. an account or an opportunity not in a tab oriented format. Again usability tests in CRM had shown that users often find it hard to see and understand that tabs contain additional information. We now show the details in assignment blocks below the header information in a scrollable format. Vertical scrolling is a behavior of a screen that most users know from their internet experience. Those are just two exampels of what we did in this area
(2) We also have put a large focus on well known web behaviors, like drag & drop and personalization in general, knowing that on the one hand side, no matter what standard UI we deliver, users tend to adapt it exactly based on their needs and wishes. So you will find really easy to understand personalization options everywhere in the new CRM Web Client UI. To achieve this we used lots of web 2.0 techologies that enable especially these easy interactive capabilitites.
(3) Finally, and this relates directly to the arguments mentioned in (2) we focused as well on really easy UI configuration. Again, in every customer project user interface changes are made, to adapt the SAP default to the customers needs. here we invested a lot to make the 60-80% most common UI changes done in projects as easy as possible, that even non-technical people can generally do it (like Power users).
Hope this clarifies some arguments what from the users point of view has been done and what the advantages are.
When you follow the same link as mentioned by Nadine above, you can also find a presentation UI Concept, which explains all the details rather from a users perspective.
Best regards and enjoy the new UI ..and every feedback is very much welcome, only with your feedback we can improve the solution even more.

Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode installed or vise versa.
Thank you in advance

Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
mode, but does not by itself do anything.

Difference between ALC Forms ES module and ALC Output ES module

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has implemented just the Adobe Output ES module in any of the projects.
I am into a project where we are integrating ALC with one of the insurance application for document generation and correspondence generation.
Confused whether to go with Forms ES module, Output ES module or both?
Can someone please throw light on these modules? I know there is info on the website but would like to know the advantages and disadvnantages of using either one of the module or both?
If just Output module is used how will the insurance application interact with ALC?

Jianghuai,
The link you have gotten from Ivan provides great information sources.
Note that those are not four different distributions, meaning linux-based operating systems, all are RHEL -- check out the FAQ, items 1 and 2. I would say main differences between family members are licensing and support offerings or subscriptions. AS, ES for "server" and WS, Desktop for the "desktop".
"ES is licensed for servers with up to 2 CPUs and 16GB of main memory while AS is licensed for servers of any size and any architecture."
Oracle products are generally not supported on the desktop variants.
