Difference between content area page and page

Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
the page created in create page tool ?
I'm really confused.
Thanks.
Regards,
Maggie

Essentially they're the same.
The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
because architecturally when we display content for you to work
with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
content portlet.
In the next release this will change, there will be only one
type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
portlets to it.

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,

What are the OS differences between mini, mini server and XServe?

Hi,
Apart from cpu speed disk size and memory,
what are the differences between the mac mini and the mini server?
What, if any, are the differences in the OS, software tools etc?
Also, what are the differences between the OS in the mini, mini server
and the XServe (apart from of course cpu cores etc)?
Thanks

Thanks.
Is it safe to say that these two pages list
all the differences?

What is difference between bus.Area and plant

dear experts,
what is difference between bus.Area and plant?
thanks
Rajakarthik.

Hi
Plant and Business Area are not the same.
Business Areas are configured in FI module as per the Product lines or geographical operations basis.
Where as The plants created in the logistics (General) module are assigned to the company code. That means all transactions taking place in the plants are posted to the attached company code in SAP FI.
You can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code reporting.
The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area. When you use the R/3 System to automatically draw up accounts for business areas, you can assign only one business area to a combination of plant and division. Plants and divisions can be assigned and combined in several different ways.

Difference between work area and internal tables.

Hi I wanna know the difference between work area and internal tables.
what happend if i give with out header line in internal table.
also how to assosiate work area to internal table in that scenario.

Hi Balaji..
The internal table is an ABAP runtime object which has two parts the Body and the header.
Whereas a work area cannot have a body.. It is mere a field or group of fields which can hold values at runtime..
In the SAP higher versions mySAP ERP, the use of tables with header line is made obsolete.. But there is absolutely no problem with the same..
Just think that when you define an internal table with occurs or with header line statement, the system automatically creates a workarea with this table, using which you can access the contents in the bosy of tyhe table.. You can read a record from the table body to this header or add a record in the header to the internal table body..
When you work with a table ITAB without a header line, you can not use statements like READ TABLE, APPEND, INSERT etc without giving an explicit work area..
Suppose i have an internal table like:
DATA : itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t001.
This table will not have a header with it.
If you will use APPEND itab. The compilor will give error.
Here i will create a work area with same structure of the table.
DATA : e_wa TYPE t001.
Now i will write:
APPEND e_wa TO itab.
READ TABLE itab INTO e_wa WITH KEY xxxxxx
LOOP AT itab INTO e_wa... etc..
In a better approach we use Field symbols with such tables, instead of structures
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_itab> TYPE t001.
So,
LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab>
READ TABLE itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab> etc.. However we can not use field symbols in few cases..
I hope this will help you..
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vikas Bittera.

Diference between "Page" and "Page Forward"

Friends,
what is the differene between "Page" and "Page Forward" in the Struts component palette?
Thanks!

"Page" represents a page (like JSP, UIX, or HTML page)
The user would browse this page by typing something like:
http://somesite/someapp/somepage.jsp
"PageForward" is a Struts action whose only job in life is to forward control to an underlying page.
The user would browse this page by typing something like:
http://somesite/someapp/somepage.do
Since in an MVC architecture, typically you want all browser requests to go through your controller layer, that means that you typically don't want a user to short-circuit the controller layer by jumping straight to a *.jsp page (for example, by bookmarking that page in their browser's "favorites" list)
So, does that mean you should always use page forwards?
I personally don't think so, although some Struts developers may have a differing opinion than me.
Even if you create a page forward as a "front" for the underlying *.jsp page, if the user knows the URL to the *.jsp page directly, they can still short-circuit your controller layer.
So, what's really the best practice?
Put your JSP pages in a subdirectory of your ./WEB-INF directory as the BC4J Toy Store demo illustrates. The WEB-INF directory and any subdirector thereof, is by the J2EE specifications NOT BROWSEABLE from the outside of the J2EE web container. So, doing this prevents users from ever being able to browse your JSP pages.
If you adopt this practice, then you will typically have a Struts diagram that consists of Actions which forward to Pages (that are under ./WEB-INF). Even though the JSP pages under ./WEB-INF are not externally browseable, it is legal for code in the web tier (like your Struts controller layer code) to forward to such pages.
Net net, with this best practice, you are always in control.

Short of trying to then reverse-engineer the objects that are in the dump file (I believe Data Pump export files contain some XML representations of DDL in addition to various binary bits, making it potentially possible to try to scan the dump file for the object definitions), I would tend to assume that the export didn't include those type definitions.
Since it looks like you're trying to set up the sample schemas, is there a reason that you wouldn't just run the sample schema setup scripts on the destination database? Why are you using Data Pump in the first place?

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

Difference between business area and profit center

hi all
could you please tell me about difference between business area and
profitcenter.
thanks,
regards,
chennuri.

HI
Read below
Profit Center - The profit center view shows the various
internal areas of responsibilities. Objects such as cost
centers, materials, etc can be used for profit center
analysis. Profit center can be used to determine the
revenues, costs, and profitability for specfic areas of
responsibility.
Business Area - Business area forms an important part of
external reporting. Analysis of various segments, product
divisions, regions etc is possible using business areas.
Business Area: This is optional
This can be used cross compane codes
This is for Internal Purpose
It is not Legal Entity like Co Code
The transation entered in Business are, Debit total will
not tally with credit total
Since it is used for segment wise or area wise or line wise
this is used for internal report purpose only .
Balance Shhet and P & L stataments can be drawn on segment
wise
Profit Centre: Generally in terms of SAP or Finance the
meaning of Profit centre is to know the profitabilty.
In same manner , The managers wants to know the ROI from
their investments, obviously we nned to use the tool.
This ROI may be geographically or area wise or division
wise. P.C provided us profitablity of the particular area
for internal purpose ( Only for Internal )
Business Area is an optional entry.Whenever company wants
financial statements businessarea wise we can maintain
BAs.And also we can maintain BA as Segment Wise,Product
Wise,Geographical Location wise.
Profit center is used to know the profits of companies.PC
is also used for to know the profits as aProduct
wise,Segment wise,geographical location wise.If anything
wrong inthis answer plz correct me..
Hope this helps
Good Luck
Hari

Difference between business area and costcenter

Hi All,
Could u pls let me know the differences between Business Area and Cost Center.
Awaiting ur valuable responses.
Thanks & Regards
Chennuri

Hi,
i am giving a realtime information on business areas and cost centers.
For our company we have 25 branches. in sap we treat all of our branches as a seperate business area. the reason why we maintain business area. at the month end or year end financial statemensts are generated on company code basis and business area base. so we consider branches as a business area.
Cost center is like a cost object.
Hope this is clear,

Difference between business area and sales area

Hi
I am swetha i have one doubt
1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
2) what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.
Regards
Swetha

Hii..
Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
There are 2 options here now -
1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
or
2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
The advantages of using the second option is:
1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business
Areas...
Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
Hope this clears.

We created assets with difference useful life between Groups and Stats of which the asset depreciation difference between two dep areas is posted in to seperate GL account starts with "S" used for local stats purpose. Any idea how to avoid this difference getting posted to other stats GL account.
We also tried to have same useful life between dep areas. But still i can see depreciation difference is getting posted in dep area 30.
Kindly help.
REgards,
Hari

Hi Hari
Welcome to SDN.. This is standard behaviour....
If you have 2 dep areas posting to FI, then you need to create a 3rd depre area as Delta Dep Area which manages the differential posting between Dep Area 01 and Parallel Dep area
Only solution to avoid this is to have the Parallel Dep Area as STatistical Dep Area i.e. It should not post to FI (Indicator 0 in OADB)
