Difference between BI 7.0 and Prior versions

hi all,
can any one please tell me the diff between BI and BW .please send any docs or PDF'S on that if possible.and what are the new features available in BI 7.0 .please send the docs or pdf's to [email protected] help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
ashok

Hi Ashok,
I am listing some of the imp differences between BW 3.5 and BW 7.0 below:
1. Data Modeling Flow:
a.     Create Data source
b.     Create Info source
c.     Create Transformations b/w data source and info source (earlier it was transfer rules)
d.     Create Info Package
e.     Create Info Provider (info cube or Data Store Object instead of ODS)
f.     Create Transfer rules b/w info source and data targets (instead of Update rules)
g.     Create DTP (data transfer process). To pull the data from Info package (i.e. from PSA) to Info Provider.
2. For Delta option in customized cube there is one new feature called – “Filter no new records” which is present in DTP’s of Data Store Object.
3. In Info sets now you can include Info cubes as well.
4. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
5. The BI accelerator (for now only for info cubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
6. The monitoring has been improved with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in your project for implementing the portal!
7. Search functionality has improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
8. Transformations are in and routines are passed ! Yes, you can always revert to the old transactions too.
9. Data Transfer Process are in.  It is used to pull the data from Info package (i.e. from PSA) to Info Provider.

  • Difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions

    Hi,
    one of the difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions is that instead 'WS_UPLOAD'  and 'WS_DOWNLOAD' in ECC we should use 'GUI_UPLOAD' and 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'  respectively.
    (of course SPDD and SPRO tcodes is known by everone i suppose)
    Similarly can u all put down some differences here, atleast one entry by each, I think we can make a good docu. I have searched the net for the differences but could not get much, so by each of us contributing one each, it would become good docu..for all of us.
    Thanx in advance

         Error:
         IF USR02-UFLAG O YULOCK.
         Solution:  Since the data type of USR02-UFLAG is type INT and is compared with data type
                    X u2013 Hence the error. So we  define a new variable ZULOCK and assign the
                    value of USR02-UFLAG to ZULOCK.
                  New variable             
                  DATA: ZULOCK(1) TYPE X.   "APBRP00

    Solution : Since the data type of ht is a type u2018Xu2019 and the data is been transfer to
             t_data which has a data type u2018Cu2019. value of one data type cannot be copy to
             another data type where one of them is type string .Hence the error occur,
             so the data type of ht is been change to Type u2018Cu2019

  • Difference between FCE 3.5 and previous version

    I was considering upgrading to FCE 3.5 from FCE 3.1. I don't have an Intel-mac and was wondering if there was much of a change in features between the new and previous version that warrants the purchase.
    As best I can tell, the difference seems to be more LiveType fonts/templates. But are there new features in FCE 3.5, beyond that? Marketing docs and chats with Genius Bar folks isn't clearing it up. For instance, the box says RT rendering but didn't the past version FCE HD 3 have that?
    I'm defiitely biased to buy, but don't want to buy a version because it's just univeral, when i'm not running a non-Intel mac. Is there a grid somewhere that charts the differences between the two version.

    Tom, could you clarify something about the new RT playback?
    With 3.0 you have to stop and change the picture quality from one of three presets - High, Medium and Low. (On the Low setting more effects can be played back instantly).
    Does the Dynamic RT just automatically jump around these three settings (choosing the best one) or is there an infinitely variable transition between the High and Low settings?
    Furthermore, can it choose a setting lower than the Low one (in 3.0) in order to show more effects instantaneously?
    In short, if I updated, would I be able to get more effects playing back than I can on my present equipment when it is in the Low setting? Or does Dynamic RT just switch automatically through the same 3 settings but give no extra playback performance?
    Ian.
    PS. Sorry for being so long-winded!

  • Difference between mastered for iTunes and previous versions?

    Is there a noticeable difference between Mastered for iTunes albums and any previous versions? I purchased Bon Jovi's "Have A Nice Day (Special Edition)", and now it has been replaced with a Mastered for iTunes version. Is there any value or noticeable difference if I were to purchase the new version?

    One of the inexpensive compilation downloads I purchased on iTunes was terrible, I'd much rather listen to the original mix of " I had too much to dream last night" than the remaster, which destroyed the song completely.
    Well, there is really no way to improve on the sound of The Electric Prunes coming over an AM transistor radio!
    I guess I'm suspicious of iTunes files in general. I am a dying breed, using separate amps and pre-amps and real speakers as well as Ultimate Ear earbuds and a great car system. The cuts that are engineered for iTunes are mixed for lo-fidelity appliances and just don't sound that good.
    There are online download stores that cater to a more audiophile crowd.  Check out HD Tracks.

  • Any difference between pre-installed apps and previous versions?

    I just bought a MacBook Air. I immediately transfered everything from my Time Capsule backup of my 2008 MacBook. The software on the MacBook was completely up to date via the App Store or Software Update. It didn't occur to me to consider that the new Air came with software pre-installed until just now.
    Now I'm wondering if I overwrote anything important or if the Time Capsule/Time Machine restore takes into account anything that was pre-installed or if all the software was the same already and it doesn't matter. Normally, I could just use the included restore disks that come with the computer to answer this question myself but with the new Airs, there are no disks.
    So I don't really understand how something like a new MacBook Air works. If I wiped the disk and used Lion Recovery would I get everything back that was on the original installation? This seems logical but I don't know if it is true. Anyone know the details about how this works?
    Thanks.

    Just to double check.  Go into the Purchased tab of the App store.  You should see the apps are "installed".  If they have a button that says "install", I'd do that.

  • Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

    In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

    Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
    The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.

  • Difference between ASA 8.3 and 8.4 IOS VERSION?

  • Is there a difference between the Apple store (box   disc) version of iWork and the App store version?

    Is there a difference between the iWork that can be purchased through the Apple Store and the AppStore version? There is a price difference between the two sets, and I was curious is there is a substantial difference.

    The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
    And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

  • Difference between CRM  5.0 and 4.0  version.

    Hello Experts,
    Please let me know the exacat difference between CRM 5.0 version and 4.0 version.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi Koti,
    There are some significant differences between CRM 4.0 and CRM 5.0.
    1. IC Web : Locking and Handling of entities should be handled explicitly in CRM  
                      4.0 where as the same is handled implicitly in CRM 5.0.
    2. In 4.0 most of the Std Classes can be inherited but in 5.0 most of the Std
       Classes cannot be inherited as they are made as Final  Classes.

  • Difference between BSI 8.0 and 8.0G

    Hello All
    Can someone tell me the Difference between BSI 8.0 and 8.0G?
    Thanks

    Charlene :
    Below is the cut and paste message from BSI on the reason of BSI 80g to be used on first payroll on 2008. In short, this version contains certain critical tax change/calculation not in lower version of BSI 80 (e.g. e and f). If you already upgraded to BSI 80, then this is just a cyclic update (not as bad as from 70 to 80) plus tubs up to 68 (to include PA tax changes).
    Rgds.
    Please note this is a Mandatory cyclic upgrade, due to BSI modifications to benefit plan and earning type data layout information, and to accommodate additional Pennsylvania Local Services Tax (LST) changes effective January 1, 2008.  Pennsylvania Local Services Tax (LST) rates are scheduled to be published by the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) on December 15, 2007.  BSI will issue the pertinent data updates shortly thereafter.  Due to the anticipated volume of changes, we expect to issue the data updates over several TUBs.
    This cyclic upgrade must be installed as soon as possible, prior to running your first 2008 payroll, in order to keep your TaxFactory system current.  Please check with your vendor for certification information.

  • What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

    Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
    So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
    All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
    I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff" 
    O.o
    A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
    Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
    Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
    'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
    Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
    So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

    ## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
    For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
    If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
    http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
    The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
    For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
    First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
    Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
    Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
    When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
    After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
    cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
    The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
    wine th11e.exe
    Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
    It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
    If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.

  • What is the difference between NetWeaver 7.3 and NetWeaver 7.03?

    Hi Experts,
    Can anydoby explain me the difference between NetWeaver 7.3 and NetWeaver 7.03? or say difference between NetWeaver 7.2 and NetWeaver 7.02?
    I have been confused by these 2 terms. As far as I know, the features of AS ABAP in NetWeaver 7.3 and NetWeaver 7.03 are almost same. The same applies to NetWeaver 7.2 and NetWeaver 7.02.
    BTW, as I know the BS2011 are based on NetWeaver 7.03, PI 7.3 are based on NetWeaver 7.3.
    Thanks and Best Regards
    Fei
    Moderator message: not directly related to ABAP development, please search for available information, e.g. in the Netweaver forums.

    Yes, all 4.x dot releases (updates) are free of charge to all version 4 owners.
    You only pay again for the next major version upgrade = version 5  unless you're a Cloud member where all upgrades and updates are included in the membership fee.
