Difference between different types of patches

Hi all
I want to know difference between the database upgrade patchset, cpu,
psu, one off patches and what are the methods of deploying these patches?

Hi,
I want to know difference between the database upgrade patchset, cpu,psu, one off patches and what are the methods of deploying these patches?Refer thread for PUS and CPU:
Difference b/w CPU  and PSU
usually *One-off  patches are single  small size patch used for fixing an existing bug.
PSU and CPU are consolidated of one-off patches, for more information refer thread mentioned above.
These are installed using Opatch utility
Patchests are certainly big in size and most of the bugfixes and new features are included within this, and will upgrade your patchset version.
suppose you Installed patchset 10.2.0.5 on 10.2.0.1 then your database will be upgraded to version *10.2.0.5*.
These patchsets are Installed using OUI
hope help :)
thanks,

  • Difference between Material type and Item category

    What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
    We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
    Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
    Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

    Dear Christino
    We can list out so many differences.
    When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
    - Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
    - Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
    - The number range from which the material number is taken
    - Which screens appear and in what sequence
    - Which departmental data you may enter
    - What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
    Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    - Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
    - Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    -Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
    - Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
    - Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

  • Difference between line type and table type

    hi,
    can any one explain the difference between line type and table type . and how to declare a internal table and work area in BSP's

    hi,
    Go through this blog, this might help you.
    /people/tomas.altman/blog/2004/12/13/sdn-blog-how-to-do-internal-tables-in-bsp
    People who have worked with ABAP for a while sometimes forget that the internal table concept is rather different than what exists in most programming languages. It is very powerful, but at the same time can be confusing.
    In SAP it is possible to have a table which is the rows and a headerline which is the working area or structure which can then be commited to the table.
    With a BSP, if we try to create an internal table within the BSP event or layout we will get the following error: mso-bidi-
                            "InternalTableX" is not an internal table - the "OCCURS n" specification is mso-bidi- missing.
    class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]>The problem we are seeing as an inconsistency has to do with the difference between classic ABAP and ABAP Objects. When SAP introduced ABAP Objects they decided to clean up some of the legacy syntax and create stricter rules. However they didn't want to break the millions of line of code that already existed, so they only implemented these stricter checks when OO is being used. Therefore you can declare a table with a header line in a regular ABAP program or Function Module but you can't have one with a header line in OO.
    Because everything in BSP generates ABAP OO classes behind the scenes, you get these same stricter syntax checks. My suggestion is that you have a look in the on-line help at the section on ABAP Objects and always follow the newer syntax rules even when writing classic ABAP programs.
    In a BSP when we need to work with a table we must always do the following:
    1, in the Types definitions create a structure:
                            types : begin of ts_reclist,
    mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            receiver type somlreci1-receiver,
    mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                 style='mso-tab-count: 1'>             rec_type type somlreci1-rec_type,
    mso-bidi-         style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            end of ts_reclist.
    mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
    but we must remember this is only a structure definition and we cannot store anything in it, although we can use it elsewhere as a definition for Structures(WorkAreas)
    2, in our Types definitions (this is the best place for this one as we can then access it from many areas without having to create it locally) so in the Types definitions we must create a TableType:
    class="MsoNormal">                         types : tt_reclist type table of ts_reclist.
    class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]> this TableType is our table definition and again we cannot store anything in it, but we can use it elsewhere as a definition for InternalTables
    3, now that you have laid the foundations you can build and in the event handler, it is now simply a case of creating the InternalTable based upon the Table definition:
                           data: t_reclist type tt_reclist.
    and creating the structure based upon the structure definiton:
    <![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>                         data: s_reclist type ts_reclist.
    as described above, the structure becomes the work area and this is where you assign new values for elements of the table eg:<![endif]>
                            s_reclist-receiver = '[email protected]'.   "<-- change address
    mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
    mso-bidi-                         s_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.
    and then once the data is in the elements of the structure, the structure can be appended to the internal table as follows: class="MsoNormal">
                            append s_reclist to t_reclist.
    <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
    the internal table will then be readable for the ABAP function and can be applied for example as follows: class="style1">           style='mso-tab-count:1; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;'>          
    class="style1">CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
                            EXPORTING
    style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    document_data = docdata
    style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'RAW'
    style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    PUT_IN_OUTBOX = 'X'
    style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    COMMIT_WORK = 'X' "used from rel.6.10
                            TABLES
    mso-bidi-font-size: style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    receivers = t_reclist
    class="style1"> <![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>
    <![if !supportEmptyParas]>F inally, a comment from Thomas Jung,
    <![if !supportEmptyParas]> “when defining my work area for an internal table I like to use the like line of statement. That way if I change the structure of my table type, I know that my work area will still be OK. Second, your types and table types don't have to just be declared in your code. You can create a table type in the data dictionary and use it across multiple programs(also great for method and function parameters). I really push hard for the other developers at my company to use the Data Dictionary Types more and more.”

  • What is the difference between Condition Type PB00 and PBXX

    Hallow all,
    Can anybody please explain, What is the Difference between Condition type PB00 and PBXX in Materials Management Pricing?
    And also please explain control or Application of both on Price determination ??
    Thanks in Advance !!!!!

    Hi,
    PB00 condition type is used for automatic pricing in PO
    PBXX condition type is used for manual pricing in PO
    In Pricing  access sequence  play a vital role . If you need pricing automatic in the PO, you have use of Access Sequences and Schema Group of Vendor.You can see the difference in both standard condition type PB00 and PBXX, where as PB00 is assigned to Access sequence(0002)but in case of PBXX no access sequense assigned.

  • Difference between line type and internal table?

    Hi..
    I wanted to know, what is the difference between Line type and Internal Table?

    Hi,
        Before the 4.7 release in SAP if we want to define an internal table we have to write the defination using the occurs statement and we need to define all the fields using INCLUDE STRUCTURE or indidually all the fields ine by one.
    From 4.7 release of R/3 SAP introduced the Line type concept and it's part of the ABAP OOPS concept. for internal table defination we don't need to use the occur statements. Instead INCLUDE structure  we need to create a Line type for that structure in Se11 and then we can define the internal table like :
    DATA : ITAB TYPE TABLE OF <LINE_TYPE>.
    Only thing is this table will be  a table without header. So for internal table processing we need to define a work area structure of type line of line type  . EX:
    DATA: WA_ITAB TYPE LINE OF <LINE_TYPE>.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Difference between message type and idoc type

    Hi
    difference between message type and idoc type
    Regards
    Rama

    Hi,
    Message Type:
    A message type represents the application message exchanged between R/3 systems and R/3 and an external system. A message type characterises the data sent across systems and relates to the structure of the data called an IDOC type.
    Diff. with IDOC type
    An IDoc type specifies the structure of the data.
    A message type specifies the meaning of the data
    Diff. b/w IDOC type and IDOC
    An IDoc type is the definition of a specific data structure.
    An IDoc is an actual instance of data based on an IDoc type. Therefore, there can be many IDocs created from a single IDoc type.
    Example:
    MATMAS is the message type and MATMAS05 is IDoc type for Material Master.

    Interactive Reporting Roles
    Two new roles, IR HTML Viewer and IR WebClient Viewer, have been added for Interactive Reporting. For additional information, see the EPM User and Role Security Guide.
    Removal of CMC
    CMC is no longer a separate web application. All functionality has been merged into the Administer module. For more information, see the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework Administrator’s Guide.
    There are also several Workspace changes which would could impact IR users as well, depening on your particular set up , it might be worthwhile reviewing those as well.

    Re: - visio adn Type 1 fonts
    There was no Visio with Office 97.
    But for Visio 2000, that's exactly what I was trying to say. The
    versions that worked with T1 were those that hadn't yet been
    significantly altered by MS from their Visio Corp roots.
    MS acquired The Visio Corporation in 2000, and for all practical
    purposes just re-branded Visio 2000, which can be found in both Visio
    Corporation and Microsoft editions.
    MS did some rework to a version that was already in Visio's pipeline
    and released it in April 2001 as Visio 2002. T1 fonts worked in this
    release. This version did have some other transition problems
    resulting from the beginnings of integration into the MS product line.
    Visio 2003 was the first version fully integrated into the MS Office
    family, and I believe it was the first where T1 support was broken.
    And no, I don't think that the Office integration was directly
    related! Visio 2003 somehow also lost support for .eps import and export.

  • Counter KF with 1 & 0 and difference between data type NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4)

    Hi,
    I need to create a counter kf which should populate 1 and 0 to this counter field. Please let me know is there any difference between data type
    NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4).
    Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pavan kumar

    Hi Pavan,
    The basic difference between Number(DEC) and INT4 is its internal storage in system.
    For Number (DEC) - Value internally stored as packed number with 3 decimal places whereas INT 4 as 4 byte integer without decimal places.
    For counter KF, you can go for INT 4.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • What are the difference between Activity types & SKFs

    Dear Friends
    Can any body help me regarding, what are the main differences between Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures(SKFs).
    Thanks, in Advance

    Hi Prabhakar,
    Both are used as tracing figures. The major difference is that Activity type has price on its own and its gets summed up at the time of allocation. The sum figures debited to the receiving cost object and credited to sending cost object. Activity type cannot stand alone.
    But it is not the case with SKF. SKF are only used as tracing factors and do not have price unlike activity type.
    Example
    In the case of activity allocation of Labour hours, the activity type of Labour with price shall be used.
    In the case of statistical figure, take the example of Canteen expenses and its allocation between the Cost objects on the basis of head count of each cost object. :
    Hope this answers to your query!

  • Difference between Activity Types & SKFs

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Could someone tell me the difference between Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures (with examples).
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sangeeta

    Dear all,
    Please let me rephrase/extend a bit what was stated so far:
    Statistical key figures can be also understood as properties/attributes of a cost center being an "object": area, number of cars, headcount,... They can be used for descriptive/statistical purposes but mostly they act as indexes in cost center allocations. For example, an invoice for energy consumption is booked on one "collective" cost center and then alocated to other CCs e.g. by number of employees.
    Activity types are used to valuate typical cost center activities. Amongst other purposes, they are used for direct activity allocations to PP orders where indirect overheads are not suitable. Another purpose is to reallocate internal activities between cost centers to avoid intracompany invoicing. As example, Engineering supports sales dept. with some special drawings. This activity is valuated per hour and used to debit the receiving CC via TC KB21N.
    Result of both SKF and AT postings is in crediting the sender -> cost center over/underabsorption.
    Kindly check also http://scn.sap.com/thread/1067453 and http://www.erpgreat.com/financial/what-is-activity-type-and-statistical-key-figure.htm

  • What is the difference between message type and element

    hi,
    When we create a new variable in BPEL we get the option to create 'simple', 'message type', 'element'
    I would like to know what is the difference between message type and element.
    thanks
    Yatan

    A message is part of the service and is usually assigned to one of the operations in the wsdl. For example getPhoneNumer() operation may have an input message of personInput and output of phoneNum. These messages would have a type...maybe of string or decimal or a complex type with multiple values.
    An element is typically a complex type that could be defined in an xsd file.
    When you create a variable in the bpel, you can declare it as a message or a simple type or an element. As I understand it, the simple types are pre-defined in the schema namespace such as string, decimal, date, etc.
    The elements are defined in the xsd files or wsdls and can be a combination of strings, dates, etc or other stuff as well.
    The messages are defined in the wsdl as part of the input/output but they are typically assigned a type just like other variables you create.
