  • Difference between Learning Solution and Training in ESS

    Hi,
    I would like to know the functionality difference between Learning Solution and Training when will be using through ESS.
    I have found that Training is part of SAP's old version and java based application not available on ESS for Training. In Learning solution, we are getting java based application for all the activity. Functions like, Training Activities, Qualification Profile, Profile Match-up, Settings are available on Learning Solution but the same are not available on Training. Even Pre-booking is not available on ESS through Training.
    I would like get feedback from forum. Please who have experience on the same, do guide me. I would like to suggest the client for the same.
    Prompt response will be highly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • What is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function

    hi,
    what is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function module.

    Hi
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.

  • Difference between procedure and function

    hi
    please give solution to below discussion:
    Interviewer: What is the difference between Procedure and Function ?
    Myself: Procedure may or may not return a value and can return multiple values and Function must return a value.
    Interviewer : Can function return multiple values ?
    myself: Yes, It can return multiple values.
    Interviewer: Then, there is no need to use procedures any more, according to your previous answer (function can return multiple values) "we can do all the things by using procedures by using functions". Then why there is differentiation between procedure and function ?
    myself : no reply (simply frustated at this question)
    The above is conversation between me and interviewer.
    Please suggest me what would be my reply to above topic.
    In one book i find that using functions we can return multiple values but it is poor programming practice.
    why this is a programming practice ?
    please suggest me solution
    thanks in advance

    Another difference is function must return something. There is no such restriction on procedure.In fact, a procedure CANNOT contain an expression in its RETURN statement.
    SQL> create or replace procedure test_return is
      2  begin
      3    return(10) ;
      4  end ;
      5  /
    Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
    SQL> show errors
    Errors for PROCEDURE TEST_RETURN:

    3/3      PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an
             expression

    SQL>And, a procedure cannot be called as part of a expression (it must be a function).
    SQL> create or replace procedure test_return is

      4  end ;
      5  /
    Procedure created.

  • RE:difference between application server and web application server

    hi,
         i am a fresher to SAP.please tell me the difference between application server and web application server so that my doubt will be clarified.

    Hi,
    the SAP Web Application Server is the reliable, open standard-based application server from SAP. It supports both J2EE and ABAP, and serves as the underlying infrastructure for all new and upcoming SAP solutions, like SAP R/3 Enterprise, SAP Portal, SAP Exchange Infrastructure, and all other SAP components.
    The SAP Web Application Server is not a new product, it is the natural evolution of proven SAP application server technology formerly known as SAP Basis. It provides the platform to develop, execute, and operate Web applications and Web services as well as traditional SAP GUI based applications

  • Differences between procedures and functions.

    a little confusing ..in differences between procedures and functions..
    1. Can a function return only single value?? cant we return multiple values?
    2. Can we use 'out' parameter and 'return' clause at a time in the same function
    thank you

    Hi,
    newbie wrote:
    a little confusing ..in differences between procedures and functions..
    1. Can a function return only single value?? cant we return multiple values?Yes, a function can only return a single value.
    If the return type is some kind of collection or data structure, then that 1 collection or data structure can, of course, actually contain many sep[arate values.
    If you want to return multiple values, use a PROCEDURE with multiple OUT arguments.  (Functions can have OUT arguments, too, but avoid defining functions with OUT arguments.  It can cause a lot of confusion.)
    2. Can we use 'out' parameter and 'return' clause at a time in the same functionSure, but don't take my word for it.  Try it and see.

  • What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

    What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

    Hi,
    they can both return values.
    FMs are mainly used when a routine is to be performed by many programs.
    Subroutines (forms) are generally only executed within one program.
    You can perform routines from other programs, but it's not often done.
    both forms and FMs are reusable modularization units.
    To distinguish we generally say that forms are used for internal modularization and
    FMs are used for external modularization.
    To decide on which to implement, consider whether you need the content to be used just for a limited program
    or wheteher it can be called from many independent programs.
    For the first purpose it is better to implement a form whereas for the second we implement an FM.
    However, ABAP does not isolate the usage context.
    That is; you can call a form from another program within whose code the form is not actually implemented.
    However, this requires attention since the form may utilize global variables.
    The same issue holds for FMs.
    FMs are encapsulated in function groups and function groups may have global variables that can be globally
    used by all FMs inside it.
    Thanks,
    Reward If Helpful.

  • Re: DIfference between Schemas, PCRS' FUnctions and Operations

    Dear SAPExperts,
    Can anybody pls tell me what is difference between Schemas, PCRS' Functions and Operations.
    Thanx in advance
    Regards
    Aniruddha

    Hi Aniruddha
    When the payroll driver is executed (for ex: PC00_M40_CALC for INDIA is executed) the schema IN00 (standard schema) is executed and it calls certain functions (functions may use Rules. Rules contain Operation) and also subschemas.
    Functions could be of four types
    1. Performing some payroll computations (E.g. INEPF function calculates the PF amount of an employee during payroll run)
    2. Calling rules (E.g. P0045 function calls a rule INLN to compute the loan details of a personnel number).
    3. Getting data from Infotypes (E.g. P0581 will get the data from Infotype-581 for payroll processing).
    4. For some decisions. (E.g. IF & ENDIF function is used to execute as per the true and false decisions) etc.
    When the PY is executed SAP uses lot of Internal Tables to store data and also provides data to other internal tables.
    The read and change access to Internal Tables is enabled using functions that are executed in a personnel calculation schema and using operations that are executed in personnel calculation rules.
    The following is just an attempt to provide some info on how Functions are processed during the PY Run. For ex: (functionality of subschema XIN0 and INBD)
    1. INITIALIZATION OF PAYROLL: When the Payroll is executed first the subschema XIN0 is called,   This subschema comprises the following main steps:
    I.     Specify program type (payroll or evaluation)
    II.     Set switch for database updates (YES/NO) all database updates are controlled via this switch (otherwise simulation)
    III.     Only infotypes from the HR master record which apply to the selected personnel number are read.
    IV.     All Time Management infotypes are imported.
    V.     Specify check against control record PA03 (test or live).
    2. READ BASIC DATA: Once the Initialization of Payroll is successful, the subschema INBD is called. This subschema reads the Basic data of an employee who is there in the Payroll execution. Basic Data includes, determining Employee Name, Reading Work Center/Basic Pay Data, Setting Financial Year Dates and Allowance Grouping Tables, Reading Previous Employment Tax Details, Reading Housing (HRA/CLA/COA), Reading Exemptions, Reading Income from Other Sources, Reading Section 80 Deductions, Reading Investment Details (Sec 88), Reading Provident Fund Contributions, Reading Other Statutory Deductions, Reading Car and Conveyance, Reading Long Term Reimbursements, Read ID Details. Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported, no further processing of schema will occur unless certain data is present.
    The Subschema INBD calls the following functions in order to read the Basic Data:
    ENAME :
    Function ENAME reads the last valid name of the employee in the payroll period. The formatting used for the country in question is used when displaying this name.
    WPBP
    If an employee receives a pay increase within a payroll period, the Basic Pay infotype (0008) is changed and delimited as of a specific date. Two data records exist for one payroll period.
    During payroll, the system writes the Basic Pay wage type to the results table with two different indicators. These split indicators are a link to the WPBP table that contains the relevant values. The system takes into consideration both data records for the corresponding partial periods when calculating remuneration.
    ININI
    P0580
    P0581
    P0582
    P0584
    P0585
    P0586
    P0587
    P0588
    P0583
    P0590
    P185I
    GON :
                    Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported. No further processing of the schema will occur unless certain data is present. Checking procedures vary from country to country. There must always, however, be a work center (P007).
    [Def. of Functions, Rules and Operations (copied from Raju's answer)
    Schema is a collection of functions
    A Rule is a collection of operations.
    An operation is a very basic piece of logic that is used, mostly, to manipulate wage types

  • Difference between application.cfm and application.cfc

    Hi,
    Can anybody explain the difference between Application.cfm
    and application.cfc?
    For example:
    I have Application.cfm and Application.cfc in the same
    folder.
    /folder/application.cfm
    /folder/application.cfc
    /folder /test.cfm
    …. And I run the test.cfm.
    Which one is executed first?
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    Your last question - Which one is executed first?
    The application.cfc will be executed first if you call the
    test.cfm. The application.cfm will not get executed.
    and, about ur first question... cfm and cfc are entirely
    different. You have onRequestStart, onRequestEnd and other events
    on cfc. cfc is powerful than cfm.

  • Difference between Application .cfc and .cfm?

    Title says it all. I'm a bit confused about the difference
    between Application.cfc and .cfm.
    I understand a bit more about the .cfc, where you define
    methods onRequestStart, etc.
    Yet in an example I'm following, they use .cfm and the
    <cfapplication> tag. Both seem to get called, but should I
    only be using one file? Or?
    Also since both can be used what is the calling order by
    ColdFusion or is one ignored if the other is present?

    if you have both files in the same location, only .cfc is
    processed.
    .cfm is ignored if .cfc is found.
