Difference between bex user exit and macros in functionality?

Hi all,
I need to create a report on material master data. I created an infoset on 0material and 0mat_plant. In the requirem
ent, I have a report containing different material numbers followed by attributes in each row. the final column in each
row should be calculated using logic. the logic involves comparing different row values and arrive at final conclusion.
the logic comprises of large number of if conditions. so should i use bex user exit or excel macros?
what is the difference between user exit and macros in funcitonalilty?
is there an issue transporting the macro to Prod for end users to use?
any performance criteria?
Any how to documents ..will be of a lot of help
plz send them to [email protected]

Hi,
Macros offer a powerful and flexible way to extend the features of MS Excel. You can either create a macro using VB code or Record a macro. Use Alt+F11 for creating macro using VB code.
You can refer to Microsoft help site or this link for more details:

User-exits are empty subroutines that SAP Developers have provided for you.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is a modification.Customer exits are nothing but a include in customer name space will be provided in the function module which starts with CALL CUSTOMER.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is an enhancement.
look into following links for procedure to find and use user-exits transaction for finding user-exits is 'SMOD'

Difference between PDF user's password and PDF owner's password?

What is the difference between PDF user's and owner's passwords? When creating a document, which one to use?

The user password, if set, is what you need to provide in order to open a PDF. Acrobat/Reader will prompt a user to enter the user password. If it's not correct, the document will not open.
The owner password, if set, controls permissions, such as printing, editing, extracting, commenting, etc. Acrobat/Reader will disallow these things based on the permission settings. Acrobat will require this password if you want to set/change permissions.

What is difference between User Exits and BAPI

hello sap gurus
what is difference between User Exits and BAPIs

http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
www.****************
Where as this customer exits are again divided into:
1. Menu Exits.
2. Field Exits.
3. Screen Exits.
4. Function module exits.
These all the things comes under Enhancements.
User exits
1.A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP.
XX represents the 2-digit exit number.UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
2.USER EXITS are FORMS and are called by SAP standard programs
using PERFORM.
3.Inside the form (user exit) you can read and change almost
any global data from host program.
4. User exits are more flexible because you have more information to use in your code but on the other hand , it is very easy to manipulate erroneously global data and lead the standard program to a dump or even to make database inconsistent.
5.While changing User-exit,Access Key is required,
BAPI is nothing function module but which is remote enabled, means you can access this fm through other SAP or non-SAP system by assingning to business object,which we can crea in SWO1 transaction.

Re: Difference between user-exits and enhancements

Hi ,
Can any one explain the difference between user-exits and enhancements with an exmpale.

Hi,
User exit - A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
Customer exit - The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks. *-- Mani
The following document is about exits in SAP :-
The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications.
SAP creates user exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.
Types of Exits
There are several different types of user exits. Each of these exits acts as hooks where you can attach or "hang" your own add-ons.
Menu Exits
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu items text when activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screens flow logic.
Function Module Exits
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
When you add a new menu item to a standard pull down menu, you use a function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated.
Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields. SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into the source code of standard R/3 programs.
These calls have the following syntax:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION 001.
Field Exits
Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field. Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a companys international location number. You might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100.
The field exit concept lets you create a special function module that contains this logic.
You assign the special function module to the data element BBBNR. You then assign the module to any programs and screens in which users can add new international location numbers. When you activate your field exit, the system automatically triggers your special routine whenever a user enters a company location number.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

Difference between Real User Experience Insight and Webalizer?

Dear All,
Can u tell me that is there any difference between Real User Experience Insight and Webalizer?
If both are functioning almost same then why RUEI is expensive
Please must reply

Webalizer uses Web Server logs however RUEI does not use web server logs it monitors Network Traffic without interfering in application which does not affect application performance...
For using Webalizer Application code is modified but not in the case of RUEI
The most important one is that Webalizer does not provide Sufficient and Efficient information as does the RUEI because it can replay the whole session called FULL SESSION REPLAY, Which helps finding errrors on specific pages. Also helps finding delays in transactions.
RUEI is deployed either by copy port or Tapping which create duplicate copy of each request to web server and pass it to RUEI for Analysis

What is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

what is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

Hi,
the repository owner has full rights to do every thing in the repository. There is only one repository owner.
There may be multiple repository user for one of the following two purposes:
1. When working in a team, each team member can be added as a different repository user and can have different grants assigned. That way you can also see who has deployed what objects or who has run a mapping.
2. To be able to deploy into a database schema, that db user user has to be added as repository user as well. Make sure the "user is target schema" checkbox is checked.

Difference b/w Customer exits and User Exits

Hi,
Can anybody explain diff b/w user exits and customer exits .
How to find out and Impement the coding ..
Thanks Advance
Rohan.A

Hi Rohan,
Check this matter , this may be helpful to you.
<b>CUSTOMER EXITS</b>
The enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.
If you want to enhance the functionality of your SAP System, you should take advantage of the exits available in standard applications. There are two main reasons why you should use exits rather than modifying SAP software yourself. Add-ons attached to exits have the advantage that:
        They do not affect standard SAP source code
When you add new functionality to your SAP System using SAPs exits, you do not alter the source code of standard SAP programs in any way. The code and screens you create are encapsulated as separate objects. These customer objects are linked to standard applications, but exist separately from SAPs standard software package.
        They do not affect software updates
When you add new functionality to your SAP System using SAPs exits, your objects (called customer objects) must adhere to strict naming conventions. When it comes time to upgrade a to a new software release, customer objects names ensure that they will not be affected by any changes or new additions to the standard software package.
Customer exits are not available for all programs and screens found in the SAP System. You can only use customer exits if they already exist in the SAP System.
<b>User exits :</b>
1. Introduction
2. How to find user exits
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule. The code for the function module is writeen by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
Example:
The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION i program
SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits):
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
exporting
    xvbak   = vbak
    xvbuk   = vbuk
    xkomk   = tkomk
importing
    lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
tables
    xvbfa = xvbfa
    xvbap = xvbap
    xvbup = xvbup.
The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003
Hope this is helpful.

Doubts in abap user exit and coustomer exit

Hi every bady,
Any one knows the different between user exit and coustomer exit please answer my question
with regards,
Sentha

Hi,
Difference between user exits & customer exits:
User exit - A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
Customer exit - The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.

Help with BDC, user exits and BAPI

Hello all:
1) I posted a question before about BDC documentation and people sent me lot of helpful material. Thanks to all of them. I am very new to ABAP coming from VB background and wondering if someone can tell me how to practice one simple BDC program starting from scratch. What do I first need to do to get started? I have Mini WAS 6.20 test version and like to practice BDC programming.
2) What are user exits and BADI and can anyone provide some documentation and sample code if possible.
Thanks everyone in advance.
--Mithun.

Hai Mithun Dha
Go through the following Documentation & Example Code
Just check these links.
Diff. between LSMW & BDC?
BDC SESSION
CALL TRANSACTION
CALL DIALOG
What is BDC or batch input
The Batch Input is a SAP technic that allows automating the input in transactions. It lies on a BDC (Batch Data Commands) scenario.
BDC functions:
E BDC_OPEN_GROUP : Opens a session group
E BDC_CLOSE_GROUP : Closes a session
E BDC_INSERT : Insert a BDC scenario in the session
E The ABAP statement "CALL TRANSACTION" is also called to run directly a transaction from its BDC table.
It runs the program RSBDCSUB in order to launch automatically the session. The session management is done through the transaction code SM35.
The object itself is maintanable through the transaction SE24.
BDC methods:
Method
Description
Parameters
OPEN_SESSION
Opens a session
SUBRC (Return Code ? 0 OK)
SESSIONNAME (Session to be created)
CLOSE_SESSION
Closes a session
None
RESET_BDCDATA
Resets the BDC Internal Table...
None. Normally, for internal purposec
BDC_DYNPRO
Handles a new screen
PROGNAME (Name of the program)
DYNPRONR (Screen Number)
BDC_FIELD
Puts a value on the screen
FIELDNAME (Name of the field)
FIELDVALUE (Value to be passed)
CONSTRUCTOR
Constructor - Initializes NO_DATA
NODATA (No data character). The constructor is called automatically when the object is created.
RUN_SESSION
Launches a session with RSBDCBTC
None
CALL_TRANSACTION
Calls a transaction with the current BDC Data
MODE (Display Mode)
UPDATE (Update Mode)
TCODE (Transaction to be called)
BDC_INSERT
Inserts the BDC scenario in the session
TCODE (Transaction to be called)
BDC techniques used in programs:
1) Building a BDC table and calling a transaction,
2) Building a session and a set of BDC scenarios and keeping the session available in SM35,
3) Building a session and lauching the transaction right after closing the session.
BDC using Call Transaction
BDC using Call transaction involves calling an SAP transaction in back ground from within the ABAP
program. The process involves building an Internal BDC table containing the screen information needed to
execute the required transaction and then passing this to the Call transaction command (See code example).
The full procedure for creating a BDC program is as follows:
What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
BATINPUT/DIRECT INPUT
A: Batch-inputs can not be used to fill the "delivery due list" screen because it is not a dynpro. This is a standard SAP report. A SAP report (check with "System -> Status") may be called using SUBMIT sentence with the appropriate options . It is preferred to call a report than create a Batch-input program.

BDC TO BAPI
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
For User Exits
User Exits
Screen exits are exits that allow you to use a reserved part of the screen (A subscreen) to display or input data.
It is determined be SAP where the sub screen will be displayed.
The syntax is: CALL CUSTOMER-SUBSCREEN
The screen exit is not processed untill the corresponding subscreen has been created in an enhancement project,
and the project has been activated.
Note:
Function codes are only processed in the main screens flow logic
You are not allowed to enter a name for the subscreens command field
You are not allowed to define GUI stauses
You are not allowed to enter a value for Next screen
The global data of the program is not available for the subscreen. Data for the subscreen is provided by function modules.
These function modules belongs to the same function group as the subscreen Subscreens are edited with transaction CMOD.
When you activate a project containg subscreens, the calling screen is regenerated and the subscreen is displayed next
time you display the calling screen
The developer must create the subscreen and the corresponding PBO and PAI modules
How to identify screen exits
Look after CALL CUSTOMER-SUBSCREEN in the screenprogram of the screen you want to modify.
Use transaction CMOD menu Utillities -> SAP enhancements to search for screen exits
MENU EXITS
Menu exits allow you to add your own functionallity to menus. Menu exits are implemented by SAP, and are reserved menu
entries in the GUI interface. The developer can add his/her own text and logic for the menu.
Function codes for menu exits all start with "+"
Example
We want to create a new menu item in the Office menu. The text for the menu should be "Run ZTEST", and the menu will
run report ZTEST.
Goto transaction SE43 Area Menu Maintenance
In Area Menu Paramenter type 'S000' (S triple Zero)
Select Change and ignore all the warning screens
Expand the office menu. In the buttom of the office tree you will find a menu named "Customer function"
Double click on the text. In the pop-up screen change the text to "Run ZTEST". Note that the trsnaction code is +C01
Goto transaction SE93 and create transaction +C01 that calls report ZTEST.
Now you will se the menu displayed in the office tree. If you delete transaction +C01 again, the new menu will dissapear.
USER EXITS
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
The code for the function module is writeen by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is: EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as: CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
Example:
The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION i program SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits):
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
exporting
xvbak = vbak
xvbuk = vbuk
xkomk = tkomk
importing
lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
tables
xvbfa = xvbfa
xvbap = xvbap
xvbup = xvbup.
The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003
2. How to find user exits
Display the program where you are searching for and exit and search for CALL CUSTOMER-EXIT
If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD. Choose menu Utillities->SAP Enhancements.
Enter the exit name and press enter.
You will now come to a screen that shows the function module exits for the exit.
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements
We want to create a project to enahance trasnaction VA01
Go to transaction CMOD
Create a project called ZVA01
Choose the Enhancement assign radio button and press the Change button
In the first column enter V45A0002 Predefine sold-to party in sales document . Note that an enhancement can only
be used i 1 project. If the enhancement is allready in use, and error message will be displayed
Press Save
Press Components. You can now see that enhancement uses user exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002. Double click on the exit.
Now the function module is displayed. Double click on include ZXVVAU04 in the function module
Insert the following code into the include: E_KUNNR = '2155'.
Activate the include program. Go back to CMOD and activate the project.
Goto transaction VA01 and craete a salesorder. Note that Sold-to-party now automatically is "2155"

Creation of Field Exits
Step by step procedure for creating Field Exits
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
- Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
- An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press eF1f for field-level help.
Click on the eTechnical infof pushbutton (or press eF9f) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
- The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
- You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
- From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
- From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
- After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
- Enter the data element name and click the eContinuef pushbutton.
- Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elementfs field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
- You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the eContinuef pushbutton.
- In the eFunction modulef field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
- You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
- The first function module for a data elementfs field exit must be created without an identifier.
- To create the function module, click on the eCreatef pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press eF5f.
- After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing eEnterf, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
- Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
- From the function modulefs attributes screen, click on the eSource codef pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
- Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
- Remember that field exitfs function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
- You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
- After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
- Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
- At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
- You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
- When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
- At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
- Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
- This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
- To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the eAssign prog./screenf pushbutton.
- In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
- In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the eFld. Exitf field.
- If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
- If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
- The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
- Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
- After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to eActivef and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers

Difference between global temporary table and with clause

what is the difference between global temporary table and with claue .(with clause is used as table in select query)

what is the difference between global temporary table and with claue .(with clause is used as table in select query)Its big difference between the two.
Global temporary table exists for a session or a transaction while, with clause lives only for a query.
GTT is a named permanent storage table whose data flushes away on session exit or at end of a transaction while WITH clause just provides names to a reference data within a query (which is as good as having union subquery in FROM clause)
eg
SQL> with c as
2 (
3 select 1 id1, 2 id2 from dual union all
4 select 2,4 from dual union all
5 select 3,5 from dual)

         1          2
         2          4
         3          5
SQL> ed

         2          4
         3          5But GTT serves its purpose very well in case of session specific transaction and the scnearion with multiple users working on same data.
