Difference between config toll and visual admin

HI all,
  Please let me know all Difference between config toll and visual admin.
and Purpose and how to start.
Thanks & Regards,
satish k

Hi Satish,
SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 provides three basic tools for administration u2013
Visual Administrator,
Console Administrator, and
Config Tool (both Visual and Console).
There are some other tools namely DBTool, Library Tool, RMIC Tool, Shutdown Tool, and User Tool also used.
First part
Difference between config toll and visual admin:-Visual Administrator is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.On the other hand with the help of Config Tool you are able to add and configure SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 cluster elements.Again Config Tool can be used without a running SAP J2EE Engine 6.20. The only requirement is to have the server installed on the local machine.
Visual Administrator is written in the Java programming language and can be run in any environment where a Java Virtual Machine is available.On the other hand Config Tool is XML-based, which enables third-party visualizations to be developed or integrated as part of a more complicated configuration system.
Visual Administrator enables remote monitoring and management of the cluster, and for each cluster element, and enables the system administrator to monitor all managers and services working on each node in a single GUI & its online.cofig tool on the otherhand offline.
Second part Purpose
"Visual Administrator":-with the help of this tool you can able to login & logout from the server.It gives you all the details regarding different services running in your SAP server.As already mentioned that with the help of VA we enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.
"Config Tool":-Config Tool enables you to run the server in remote debug mode.
Again Config Tool enables you to add dispatcher and server nodes to the SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 Cluster.With the help of config tool we are enable to modification of service or manager module properties.
Third part Start procedure
"Visual Administrator" check the below link

  • Difference between roles Administrator and Super admin

    Dear Portal Gurus,
    Pls let me know the difference between
    roles Administrator and Super admin
    Thanks.
    Jack

    Hi Jack,
    The Administrator is the role that has all the rights that includes J2ee engine rights too but an superadmin is the one that has the role to the three admin roles that are
    Content Admin
    User Admin
    System Admin
    THIS IS THE BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUPERADMIN AND ADMINISTRATOR.

  • Difference between config tool and offlinecfgeditor?

    I am having a strong confusion between these two. Please help.
    Both require the DB to be up.
    Both requires a restart after a change, that means none of them makes the change in DB directly.
    What is the difference then?
    What I think that configtool directly doesn't make a any change at DB level at all, it only changes the instance.properties file at OS level only, whereas offlinecfgeditor changes the values of the parameters at DB level.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    One more doubt:
    What is the difference between instance.properties and instance.properties.vmprop?
    I know second gets created every time with the restart of the DB. Does that mean it's a copy of DB stored parameters?
    Is there a way in JAVA stack by which we can bring the parameters at OS level and DB level in sync, like we do in ABAP in RZ10 by importing the profiles?
    Please reply.

    Hi,
    Basically the configtool and offlinecfgeditor are the same thing, the configtool is more user friendly, but the offlinecfgeditor can be used to access certain files and configurations that the configtool doesn't have access to.
    Any changes done in the configtool are made at a database level, the instances.properties only gets changed after the bootstrap process which involves pulling data from the DB, This is the reason the j2ee needs a restart after ant changes are done to DB by configtools as these core DB files (note just the ones that change the instance.properties) are only accessed during the bootstrap phase, (a start up phase). This is to avoid any inconsistencies.
    The  instance.properties.vmprop just contains information about the jdk in use and other simialar information (used for logs), it will only get created if it does not exist already, hence why it is recommended to delete this file after upgrading the jdk.
    The instance.properties contains important paramters used during the start up of the j2ee system.
    The java stack only syncs OS and DB parameters during start up time (bootstrap).
    Kind regards,
    Cathal

  • Differences between Property Classes and Visual Attributes

    Hi folks
    Can anybody know the exact difference between a property class and a visual attribute?
    I'm substantially good at Forms but doesn't know the exact difference.
    Any reply will be deeply appreciated.
    Cheers,
    PCZ

    Visual Attributes are only for the visual representation of your items, buttons, blocks, canvas, ...
    Property Classes are for inheriting all objects including visual attributes.
    If you create a style guide for your company, then first define the visual attributes for the look and feel. After that create property classes for all of the other objects in your application. On top of that create object groups, where you centralize your property classes and visual attributes.
    If you have created such a form, then call this form reference-template. Now you inherit the object-groups to a second form and call this form "template".
    If you create new forms, copy the template and rename it. Then you have in all your forms inherited visual attributes, property classes, etc. and all this stuff is in one "reference-template"

  • Differences between standard C++ and Visual C++

    I'm a C++ programmer who just started using Visual C++.  Unfortunately, Visual C++ is different from regular C++ - for example, in C++ we use cout<<"hi"<<endl to print a string, but there's
    no such option in Visual C++.
    What I'd like to know is what Visual C++ code I should use to substitute regular C++ code.

    Visual C++ is different from regular C++ - for example, in C++ we use cout<<"hi"<<endl to print a string, but there's no such option in Visual C++.
    What I'd like to know is what Visual C++ code I should use to substitute regular C++ code.
    Your post lacks some crucial details:
    (1) What brought you to this conclusion?
    (2) What errors if any are you getting when you try to build such code?
    (3) Which version of Visual C++ are you using?
    (4) How did you try to compile your code - using which type of project?
    These are important details as:
    (A) Different versions of VC++ support different versions of the C++ Standard.
    (B) Different project types set different build options. (Note that you must
    create a project, you can't just put code in the editor and build it to an exe
    without it being part of a project.)
    (C) Seeing the actual error messages allows us to focus quickly on the most
    likely cause of your problems.
    Note that you should always use Windows copy & paste to post code and errors.
    Never try to type it all in, and don't just paraphrase errors.

  • Difference between webservices model and adaptive  webservices model

    hi
        Can any one explain me regarding Difference between webservices model and adaptive  webservices model.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In old WS Model, ithere was no concept of logical destinations.
    There if you are using a WSDL located on a server and if the location of the WSDL
    changes, your application won't run. The deployed application using the WS Model will have trouble finding
    the WSDL. As a result you'll have to again import the
    model. Moreover old WS Model does not have re-import functionality.
    But incase of AWS Model, you can desine logical destinations and even if the location of the WSDL changes, all you have to do is change the new url in the Visual Admin and not import the model again.
    You can visit the following link for more details:

  • 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

  • What is difference between Managed Bean and Backing Bean?

    What is difference between Managed Bean and Backing Bean? Please guide me how to create them and when to use them?
    Please post sample for both beans.

    Hi,
    managed beans and backing beans are quite the same in that the Java object is managed by the JavaServer Faces framework. Manage in this respect means instantiation. The difference is that backing beans contain component "binding" references, which managed beans usually don't. Do backing beans are page specific versions of managed beans.
    Managed beans are configured either in the faces-config.xml file, or using ADF Faces and ADFc, in the adfc-config.xml file

  • Difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro

    what is the difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro?

    Hi Rohit,
    With the component configuration, you can control the behavior of each individual component within a Web Dynpro application or the user interface of individual views. For each component, several records of configuration data can be created.
    Using the application configuration, it is now possible to assign the configuration required in the current application to all the components used.
    In short : Component Config belongs to WDP Component and Appl'n Config. belongs to WDP Appl'n.

  • Differences between B2B IPCUI and CU50 IPCUI?

    Dear all.
    We have SAP ERP 6.0 installed with integrated IPC in VMC running. On another box we have NW 7 with E-Commerce 5.0 and TREX 7.0 and MS ISS 7.5 running.
    We have two scenarios:
    Scenario 1: http://host:port/b2b/b2b/init.do
    After a logon a shop list appears. After going into a shop, navigating through the catalog and choosing a configurable product, the IPC UI gets displayed.
    Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50
    After choosing the same configurable material as in scenario 1 and running it through the IPC, the IPC UI gets displayed.
    The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T.
    But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
    My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
    Or is there maybe a difference?
    What I also do not understand is:
    Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
    One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
    Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
    Thanks and regards
    Stefan

    Your Scenario 1: uses IPC-SCE (Configuration Engine) for runtime configuration of a configurable product. This uses the IPC as the runtime engine for configuring the product. The IPC UI (along with appropriate Java application) helps you render the design and get your input.
    Your Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50  uses the classical Variant Configuration LO-VC module of the SAP R/3 (ECC 6.0) system. The SAPGUI Variant configuration screens don't use IPC at any instance.
    The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T. But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
    It is very likely that you are seeing the default behavior of CU50 set elsewhere. Try changing the XCM setting and see if CU50 display property changes.
    My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
    Not correct.
    See more detailed functional differences between IPC-SCE and LO-VC at this link Comparison of SCE and R/3 Variant Configuration.
    Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
    One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
    Technically they are  two different applications for use in different contexts. ../ipc/ for both design time and runtime of product configuration. This is what actually controls the IPC UI appearance in the web. The ipc component in the ../b2b/ application is for picking up the right configuration type that is defined in XCM of the _ipc application _.
    Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
    Probably, this was "intuitive" by SAP standards, so they don't have any documentation for developers who don't work in SAP.....
    (1) Define a custom configurations for application configuration  isab2b and isacatalog in ipc/XCM.
    (2) After making changes to ipc application (XCM) for UI settings, you have to restart the ipc application.
    (3) Define custom component for application component ipcdefaul in b2b/XCM
    (4) In the place of isab2b and isacatalog, input the names of the custom configurations you defined in ipc/XCM
    (5) Restart the b2b application.
    Hope this helps...

  • Difference between ms excel and oo calc

    is there a big difference between ms excel and oo calc?
    have to learn excel, but have only linux.
    are the macros and and the handling similar?
    what are the differences?
    thanks in advance.

    From OpenOffice Help:
    With a few exceptions, Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org cannot run the same macro code. Microsoft Office uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, and OpenOffice.org uses Basic code based on the OpenOffice.org API (Application Program Interface) environment. Although the programming language is the same, the objects and methods are different.
    The most recent versions of OpenOffice.org can run some Excel Visual Basic scripts if you enable this feature at Tools - Options - Load/Save - VBA Properties.
    If you use macros in one of the applications and want to use the same functionality in the other application, you must edit the macros. OpenOffice.org can load the macros that are contained within Microsoft Office files and you can then view and edit the macro code in the OpenOffice.org Basic IDE editor.
    The workflow is pretty much the same; a spreadsheet is a spreadsheet. Some keyboard shortcuts are different and annoy me.

  • I need to know the difference between planned SKF and Actual SKF from business view and when I can use one of them ?

    I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
    thanks

    Hi Salaam,
    Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
    Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
    Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
    Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
    Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

    What is the difference between XI basis and regular basis if there is any?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No difference... Basis is Basis (Technical consultant)... According to me its just terminology changed. i.e. SAP Administrator instead of SAP basis.
    For XI you may need to additionally control the Java stack administartion along with ABAP stack.

  • Matrix to find differences between OIM11g R1 and R2

    Friends,
    We are 50% completed developing OIM 11gR1. But now, R2 came out.
    I would like to know the main differences between OIM 11gR1 and OIM 11gR2 so that I can convince my client to go for R2 rather than R1.
    If there is any matrix which will show these differences, please let me let me know.
    I would like to know the differences for the below.
    1) Business wise
    2) Technical development
    3) End user stand point

    1) Business wise
    R2 is much more business friendly. It's structure is now simple and more secure than that of 11Gr1. Each and everything is request based. Shopping cart functionalities has beedn added. So manual provisioning is possible for multiple user for multiple resources at a single time.
    2) Technical development
    Most of things are simpleified for development as well. Few differences could be, we don't have seperate process and object form, same form is references everywhere. Template level approvals are not there. All requests are routed through SOA. You need to have skills on SOA as well.
    3) End user stand point
    We have two consoles now. End user can work on identity console where as admins can work on sysadmin console. Structure is seperated for both kind of users. Also UI is less heavy than that of 11Gr1.
    You can ask Oracle for proper document on it.
