Difference between Data Integrator, Data Services, Federator & Data Manage

Hi,
What is the difference between each of the following components of SAP Business Object?
Data Integrator
Date Services
Data Federator
Data Management
Do these not do the data integration (ETL)? Is so, why a Data Integrator is a must for Rapid Mart not any of the other listed above?

Thanks for the to-the-point response. It was really helpful. Isn't SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator is also a kind of integrator? The following link mentions "SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator can help you rapidly integrate data in real-time"
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/information-management/data-integration/datafederator/index.epx
Or if I put it differently: Data Federator is used when physical integration is not required, and provides the functionality to integrate data virtually in memory.
Please correct me, if I am not.

Difference between relational integrity and data intigrity

hi
could anybody tell me
what is the difference between
relational integrity and data intigrity
tahnx
kals.

hi,
Data Integrity
Data integrity means, in part, that you can correctly and consistently navigate and manipulate the tables in the database. There are two basic rules to ensure data integrity; entity integrity and referential integrity.
The entity integrity rule states that the value of the primary key can never be a null value (a null value is one that has no value and is not the same as a blank). Because a primary key is used to identify a unique row in a relational table, its value must always be specified and should never be unknown. The integrity rule requires that insert, update, and delete operations maintain the uniqueness and existence of all primary keys.
The referential integrity rule states that if a relational table has a foreign key, then every value of the foreign key must either be null or match the values in the relational table in which that foreign key is a primary key.
What is a Relational Integrity?
A relational database contains tables of data which are related to each other. For example, articles are related to the author who wrote them, and conversely, authors are related to the articles they wrote. (Sounds obvious, and it is.) That's the relational part.
When we work with a relational database, we naturally expect that data in related tables stay related. For example, articles written by MartinB should always be related to MartinB and never be confused with articles written by any other author. That's the integrity part.
Relational Integrity is also called Referential Integrity, perhaps because the mechanism for ensuring integrity is implemented by the way the tables reference each other. Both terms are okay with me. I usually just say RI anyway.

Considering buying refurbished. Is there a big difference between a refurb with an original date this year vs. one from over a year ago??

MacBook Air, 13", Mid 2013:
On June 10, 2013, Apple released an updated MacBook Air in the same form factor as the 2012 model during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). The 11-inch and 13-inch models have a minimum standard 4GB RAM, with a maximum configuration of 8GB. Both models are powered by the Haswell ULT 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz and 1.7GHz Dual-Core i7 with Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz option available. Each model has a 128GB configuration and a 256GB configuration available, with the 256GB model being upgradeable to 512GB SSD.
1.3 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Air, 13", Early 2014:
On April 29, 2014 Apple released an updated MacBook Air featuring faster processors and better battery life. The standard configurations also saw a price drop in most regions.
1.4 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Late 2013:
At the Apple Special Event on October 22, 2013, Apple announced that it had updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Both versions feature the new Intel Haswell chipset.
2.4 or 2.6 GHz (Core i5) or 2.8 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Mid 2014:
On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.

Difference between master, documents, document lines, master data row

Hi,
Can some please explain the difference between master, documents, document lines, master data row?
What is the best optimize development technique in terms of architecture and programming?
When to use it effectively?
Thanks

Hi Juan,
Are you referring to the settings for a user-defined table? If so, these settings are for use with UDOs (User-defined objects). UDOs cannot currently be manipulated by the DI API so setting a user-defined table to anything other than 'No Object' will restrict how you can access this data.
UDOs are really only for user data entry at this time (ie you must use the UI to enter data).

Difference between migration & integration

Hi all,
I have a little bit confusion, What is the difference between DATA MIGRATION AND DATA INTEGRATION. Please send a reply as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish.

Hi,
In simpler terms,
Data Integration is to integrate data from homogeneous or heterogenious environments depend on the requirement/integration tool etc.
Data Migration means Migrating data from one system to another system in the same environment or in the different environment. To data migration we can use Integration Tools like XI or any other methods .
For e.g when you are using XI to integrate 2 systems or implementing new SAP system etc. SO initially you need to upload master data etc. Then usually data is migrated from old , system into the new system
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Moorthy

Difference between Change request and Service request

HI All,
Can any body tell me the actual difference between Change request and Service Request. Does it have any difference ? Or they are same.

Are you referring to the project Specific Terms ??? If yes, then following are the differences.
Change Request - Suppose user is using a Sales Report which displays Revenue by Customer. Now the user wants to see the same by Product as well which is not available in the current report. So the user raises a Change request and the development team works on it to include the same and make it avaialable for the user.
Service Request - These kind of requests are more likely raised when the user needs access to some system (raise service request to Security team), wants to move a transport to the Production box (raise Service request to Basis Team)..etc.

Difference between std procurement and service procurement & advantages?

Dear Gurus,
what are the differences between standard procurement and service procurement &
advantages of External services management?
Thanks...

hi,
In std procurement we procure materials while in the service procurement we procure services...sap has given these two differently may be bacause while procuring the services you never know in advance that how much exact amount is req. just because you don't know for eg wether there is any req. of changing the parts, or general maintenence or anything else...
so due to this you use the value limits....
Advantage: As the services procured are not FIXED as in the std procurement, we do have flexibility for adding up the new services as per the req...
and as we provide the value limits, in the real time scenerio it doesnot cause any FI problem later...

Difference between Process integration scenario and configuration scenario.

Hi,
Please tell me what is difference between Process integration scenarion and configuration scenarion in SAP PI.
Is Process integration scenario is BPM concept? also what is the advantages over configuration scenario.
Regards,
Manigandan

Hi Manigandan,
Speaking widely:
Process integration scenario: there is a ccBPM, like the workflow in ABAP, even when you one inside the PI it's generated a workflow in the ABAP stuck
Configuration scenario: it is object to link the integration directory and the esr/IR when you define the logic of your implementation. It isnt mandatory, but you can organize better you develoments if you make an scenario for a "real scenario" like a file to soap integration, you can define it like a configuration scenario.

Differences between OA 11i and R12 on User Management

Hi All,
Please give some details about differences between OA 11i and R12 on User Management (Role Responsibilities and Role Based Access Control,etc).
Please advise me on this regard.
Moreover,I don't have any Metalink username and Password.
Thanks

New features introduced for User Management (UMX) in R12
The following are the new features introduced in R12 for User Management (UMX):
1)Proxy User:
This new functionality:
· Provides the delegator the ability to grant/revoke the proxy privilege to individuals
· Provide a mechanism throughout the application’s framework where the user can access the proxy switcher feature
· Provide a mechanism throughout the application’s framework which indicates to the user that they are acting as a proxy
· Provide the ability to track the delegate’s actions within the system, while the delegate is acting on behalf of the delegator (Audit)
Benefits of Proxy User:
Ability to delegate proxy authority provides great security controls and Granular control of proxy authority is provided i.e delegate authority can be specified for date ranges
2) ICM (Separation of Duties – SoD) Integration
Oracle User Management is integrated with Oracle Internal Controls Manager (ICM) for the prevention, detection, enforcement, and resolution of separation-of-duties constraints during the assignment of roles by administrators to users.
For example, a constraint (created using a set of ICM UIs) can be defined such that no user is allowed to have "Role A" and "Role B" at the same time. In such a case, anadministrator attempting to assign Role B to a user who already has Role A will be presented with a dialog page displaying the constraint violation information.
At this point, the administrator can take one of two actions:
• Go back to the role assignment page and remove the assignment that is causing the
violation.
• Override the constraint violation, if he has the "AMW: Allow SOD Violation
Override" permission granted to him.
With this permission, the administrator will see Apply and Cancel buttons on the constraint violation dialog page. Clicking Apply will override the constraint, and assign Role B to the user despite the warning. Clicking Cancel will cancel the save operation without granting Role B to the user.
UMX integration with ICM is enabled according to the setting of site-level profile option "UMX: Enable ICM Validation". The default value is "Yes".
3) Enhanced Forget Username/Password Functionality
Forgot Username Functionality is Introduced in R12 along with Forgot Password. So now Users can query on either lost “username” or lost “password” Users should enter email address if lost username and enter username if lost password
Users can now aslo reset username as part of email address verification instead of a two step process.
4)New Registration Process Type for Administrator Role Assignment
New Registration Process Type is introduced for type “Administrator Assisted Additional Access”
Different policies (registration processes) can be used as administrative actions vs. self service requests for
· Approval Routing
· UI
· Notifications
· Business Logic
Simpler registration processes can be created for self-service and administrator flavors
Support for alternative approvals for administrator role assignment is also introduced.
5) Security Wizard Infrastructure
a)Security Wizard Infrastructure
· Infrastructure for product teams to create their own security wizards in context of a role.
· Product teams can create their wizards and seed relevant information
· These wizards appear in list of security wizards available to the administrator when creating/updating role information
b)New User Interface for Delegated Administration
· Existing functionality(11.5.10) of delegated administration setup implemented using wizard infrastructure
· Wizard guides the user through what options they can set for a delegated administration
6) Search Enhancement for List of Value’s (LOV)
Search Enhancements has been made in LOV’s in User management.
a) All LOVs in User Management (UMX) are now searchable by
· Role
· Responsibility
· Both
· Internal Code
b)A type included in the results – to differentiate roles and responsibilities

Difference between SAP Learning Solution & Training and Event Manag

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the Difference between SAP Learning Solution & Training and Event Manag.
Which approach would be recommended for the Training and Event Management implementation..
Pls let me know the pro's and con's of both the approaches.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Training and Event Management (now called <b>Training Management (TEM)</b>, sometimes referred to as PE in SAP documentation). Employees/Learners were able to book courses and view their training history via Employee Self-Service, and supported the full suite of classroom training administration functions.
SAPs current learning software is SAPs Learning Solution (LSO). Companies still can use TEM to administer classroom-only training or they can choose to leverage LSO functionality to deliver classroom training as well as Web-based training, virtual classrooms, blended learning, and collaboration to their employees.
Training Management (TEM) serves as the foundation of SAPs Learning Solution (LSO). However, LSO includes much new functionality such as administering and delivering Web-based training, virtual classrooms, curricula, and online tests. The entire LSO consists of SAP Authoring Environment, Content Management System (CMS), Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Portal, Content Player, Offline Player, Business Intelligence (BI), and the Collaboration functionality.

Dev
