Difference between "Distribute Content" and "Update Distribution Points"

Hi,
Can someone clarify this for me, I need to redistribute a package to all my distributions points. Should select distribute content and then select the DP's or should I just use the option "Update Distribution Points" to redistribute? TIA

Yes. Once content has been distributed you can not "Distribute Content" again to the same DP. However, you do have another option, go to the properties of the DP, "Content" tab, find the package in question and conduct a re-distribute.
This approach does not increase the versioning of the content whereas "Update Distribution Points" does.
P.S. If you have not read it yet, here is a great
article about content monitoring and validation.

Difference between system debugging and update debugging

hai guru's can any one tell the difference between system debugging and update debugging
thanx in advance
afzal

hi,
System Debugging
If you set this option, the Debugger is also activated for system programs
(programs with status S in their program attributes). When you save breakpoints, the System Debugging setting is also saved.
Update Debugging
Update function modules do not run in the same user session as the program that is currently running in the ABAP Debugger.
These function modules are therefore not included in debugging.
Only if you select the Update Debugging option can you display and debug them after the COMMIT WORK.
For debugging tutorial:

Difference between Target Content and Homepage Pagelet

Hello All,
I am new to PS Portal Structure. Currently I am using PS HRMS 9.0 and PT - 8.49. what is the difference between Target Content and Homepage Pagelet?
Thanks!

PeopleSoft Portal use the 2-3 column layout to display pagelet on the homepage, for homepage pagelet, it just used to presents informaiton on the homepage.
For target content, PS spide the window by 2 columns, the left is the PeopleSoft Menu Navigation, the right panel is used to display the menu item related target content.
Target content is the PeopleSoft standard page/component, but pagelet can created from many sources, HTML, Query, Rowset, ..., and it also can create from page/component.

Difference between BI content and HANA optimized BI content ?

Hi to all,
Is BW is already have HANA database, what is difference between BI content and HANA optimized BI content.
Can any one explain in general term, I have already gone with SAP HELP but, cant grab more of it.
Does we have HANA optimized BI Content only for DS and FI only.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavanet,
you can find more info on the SAP HANA-optimized BI Content and the supported areas following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw74/helpdata/en/28/a1065182d3c557e10000000a44176d/frameset.htm
The SAP HANA-optimized content does contain physical InfoProviders and adheres to the LSA++ architecture paradigm as to reduce persistencies where possible and if it makes sense. One purpose is to provide a guidance of data modelling in the SAP BW on HANA case making use of recent SAP BW features.
For the near future a switch to the recent BW Infoproviders (advanced) DSO and CompositeProvider is planned.
best regards,
Simon

Difference between modify , append and update

Hi,
      Give me diffference between modify , append and update?
       If possible give me with example.
Thanks & regards

Hi,
Syntax Diagram
MODIFY itab
Syntax
MODIFY { itab_line | itab_lines }.
Effect
This statement changes the content of one or several itab_line or itab_lines lines that can be specified using the table key or the table index.
System fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 At least one line was changed.
4 No lines were changed, since no suitable line was found for the insertion using the table key, or the specified index was greater than the current number of lines for the insertion using the table index.
Note
Apart from using the MODIFY statement, the content of an individual table line can be changed using assignments to field symbols and dereferenced data references that point to the table line.
Exceptions
Non-Catchable Exceptions
Cause: Illegal dynamic specification of a line component
Runtime Error: ITAB_ILLEGAL_COMPONENT
Cause: Illegal key component in the TRANSPORTING list.
Runtime Error: ITAB_ILLEGAL_TRANSP_COMP
Syntax Diagram
APPEND
Syntax
APPEND line_spec TO itab [SORTED BY comp] [result].
Addition:
... SORTED BY comp
Effect
This statement appends one or more rows line_spec to an internal index table itab. If itab is a standard table, you can use SORTED BY to sort the table in a specified way. Use result when appending a single row as of release 6.10 to set a reference to the appended row in the form of a field symbol or a data reference.
For the individual table types, appending is done as follows:
To standard tables, rows are appended directly and without checking the content of the internal table.
To sorted tables, rows are appended only if they correspond to the sort sequence and do not create duplicate entries with unique table key. Otherwise, an untreatable exception is triggered.
To hashed tables, no rows can be appended.
The APPEND statement sets sy-tabix to the table index of the last appended row.
Addition
... SORTED BY comp
Effect
This addition is allowed only if you specify a workarea wa and if you use a standard table, where wa must be compatible to the row type of the table. You can specify component comp as shown in section Specifying Components, however, you can access only one single component and no attributes of classes using the object component selector.
The statement is executed in two steps:
Starting at the last row, the table is searched for a row, in which the value of component comp is greater than or equal to the value of component comp of wa. If such a row exists, the workarea wa is included after this row. If no such row exists, the workarea wa is included before the first row. The table index of all rows following the included rows increases by one.
If the number of rows before the statement is executed is greater than or equal to the number specified in the definition of the internal table in the INITIAL SIZE addition, the newly-created last row is deleted.
Note
When using only the statement APPEND with addition SORTED BY to fill an internal table, this rule results in an internal table that contains no more than the number of rows specified in its definition after INITIAL SIZE and that is sorted in descending order by component comp (ranking).
The SORT statement should usually be used instead of APPEND SORTED BY.
Example
Creating a ranking of the three flights of a connection showing the most free seats.
PARAMETERS: p_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid,
            p_connid TYPE sflight-connid.
DATA: BEGIN OF seats,
        fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
        seatsocc TYPE sflight-seatsocc,
        seatsmax TYPE sflight-seatsmax,
        seatsfree TYPE sflight-seatsocc,
      END OF seats.
DATA seats_tab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF seats
               INITIAL SIZE 3.
SELECT fldate seatsocc seatsmax
       FROM sflight
       INTO seats
       WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
             connid = p_connid.
seats-seatsfree = seats-seatsmax - seats-seatsocc.
APPEND seats TO seats_tab SORTED BY seatsfree.
ENDSELECT.
Exceptions
Non-Catchable Exceptions
Cause: Including a row with identical key (target table defined with UNIQUE)
Runtime Error: ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY_IDX_OP
Cause: Violation of the sorting sequence due to an APPEND to a sorted table
Runtime Error: ITAB_ILLEGAL_SORT_ORDER:
Cause: Unallowed index value (<= 0) for a FROM, TO, or INDEX specification
Runtime Error: TABLE_INVALID_INDEX
Syntax Diagram
UPDATE dbtab
Syntax
UPDATE target source.
Effect:
The statement UPDATE changes the content of one or more lines of the database table specified in target. The entries in source determine which columns of which lines are changed, and how they are changed.
System fields
The statement UPDATE sets the values of the system fields sy-subrc and sy-dbcnt.
sy-subrc Meaning
0 At least one line has been changed.
4 At least one line was not able to be changed, either because no appropriate line was found, or because the change would generate a line that leads to double entries in the primary key or a unique secondary index in the database table.
The statement UPDATE sets sy-dbcnt to the number of changed lines.
Note
The changes are definitively copied to the database with the next database commit. Until that point, they can still be undone using a database rollback
The statement UPDATE sets a database lock up to the next database commit or rollback, which may lead to a deadlock if used incorrectly.
For the specific database, the number of rows that can be changed within a database LUW in the database table is restricted by the fact that a database system can only manage a certain amount of data in the rollback area and from locks.

What is the difference between define Assessment and define distribution

What is the difference between define Assessment(S_ALR_87005742) and define distribution(S_ALR_87005757)

Hi,
Assessment and distribution of relevant overhead costs is performed at period closing (actual data) or plan closing (plan data). This is usually done directly in CO. It is then reflected in the data in Profit Center Accounting.If you have a service profit center or allocation profit center in your profit center hierarchy, you may need to assess or Distribute costs again in Profit center Accounting.
In Profit Center Accounting, the allocation function allows you to allocate the following plan and actual data.
-- Costs (assessment and/or distribution)
-- Revenues and sales deductions (assessment and/or distribution)
-- Balance sheet items (distribution)
Assessment is made using a special cost/revenue element. In distribution, the original cost/revenue element/account number is retained.
Assesment,you set rules in the form of cycles for allocating primary and secondary costs in plan.
Activities in assesment are
Create an plan assessment cycle by proceeding as follows:
1. Enter a name for the cycle
2. Enter a validity timeframe for the cycle
3. Maintain the header data for the cycle by entering the following:
a) In which currencies the costs should be charged
b) Whether consumption quantities should be charged
c) Whether negative tracing factors should be scaled
d) Whether the cycle should be processed iteratively
e) In which version the cycle is valid
4. Create segments for the cycle that contain the following information:
a) The sender cost element to be distributed
b) Criteria to distribute the costs among the receivers
c) Sender objects
d) Receiver objects
Distribution ,you create rules in the form of cycle for the settlement of primary costs on a cost center.
Activities in distribution are
Create a plan distribution cycle by proceeding as follows:
1. Determine a name for the cycle.
2. Determine a validity period for the cycle.
3. Maintain the header data for the cycle by entering the following.
a) Which currencies are to be used in the allocations
b) Whether consumption is to be allocated or not
c) Whether negative tracing factors are scaled or not
d) Whether cycle processing is to be iterative
e) In which version the allocation is to take place
4. Define cycle segments in which you store the following information.
a) Sender cost element to be distributed
b) Criteria for cost distribution to the receiver
c) Sender objects
d) Receiver objects

Difference between Costing Sheet and Assessment & Distribution Cycle.

Hello Co Experts
I need to understand the exact difference bewteen Costing sheet and Assessment dictribution cycles and their use for applying overhead cost to cost object especially Project WBS. Kind request to illustrate the preference of these two functionalityover each other with respect to business scenarios.
Best Regards
Adwait A Deshpande
help.sap.com

Hi Deshpande,
The purpose of both are completely different.
Assessment or Distribution cycles are used to transfer cost from the service/utility cost centers to the Production cost centers.
Where as Costing sheet is a tool where you configure how system should calculate Production, Material ,Administration & Selling&Distribution in Product costing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Differences between bapi's and bdc

Hi Frendz,
What are the most imp differences between BAPI's and BDC ?
Points for sure...
Thanks in advance
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
A few inputs from net
BAPI is used only when it is available for the particular transaction like Delivery Sales order. but BDC can be used for any
transaction which have screen and fields.
BAPI is directly updated the database instead BDC run through the screen flow.
So BAPI can't handle all the flow logic checking and enhancement put by programmer to faciliate the user requirement.
BAPI is a higher end usage for tranfering the data from SAP to non-SAP and vice-versa. for ex: if we are using VB application,where in that we want to connect to SAP and retireve the data,and then change and update the data in SAP for that purpose we can use that.
Apart from that, we can also use it for Uploading/Downloading the data from SAP to Non-SAP like BDC, provided we have an existing BAPI for that.
BAPI function modules will also do all the checks required for data integrity like Transactions for BDC.
There is one more advantage using BAPI instead of BDC.
When we go for upgradation, there might be pozzibility to change the screen elements for transactions depending on the requirement. In that case,our BDC pgm may or may not work (depending on the screen changes they have made). Unless and until we prepare new BDC we cant use the old BDC pgm. But in BAPI, SAP promises that they are going to keep the old BAPI and for new functionality they will provide an upgraded BAPI. Until we write a new BAPI pgm, we can use the exisitng BAPI pgm.

this somehow summarzes what i wanted to convey and hence have put this extract.. hope it helps to your question.

Failed to Update Distribution Point

I have an interesting issue with distribution point updating a deployment package. I have ADRs that run for AV definition updates. The rules run, add to an existing deployment package and update distribution points. This works great for
about a month at a time. After that, I have to delete the package and recreate it. I can try to update DPs, use Powershell to update, remove all DPs and add them again as if it were a new distribution, but none of those work. Does anyone
else experience this or have seen it in the past? The error I'm getting is the 80070003 in Package Transfer Manager. Note, this happens every 4-5 weeks and I've experienced it now for the 3rd time. Thanks in advance.
Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

0x80070003 = "The system cannot find the path specified."
Make sure your deployment package where you download definitions is configured properly and accessible.
Is the source folder of the package on shared storage or saved locally on SCCM server?
What release of CM12 are you on?
I would also recommend looking at A/V exclusions for SCCM server:

The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods. One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc. However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.
The Photoshop Elements forum is at:

Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
I do not know where there is such a comparison table as you seek, but someone else might, or you can google.

AppID during application update and Difference between app id and product id

Hi
I understand once a app is in store it has a associated Appid. How does this differs from the product id?
During each app update does the product id's should be same?
or during the store certification process will the appid and the product ids be mapped?
How does the product id and App id differ if this is not the case?
Can you provide some article which actually explains what is the difference between XAP uploaded and xap after certification?
Regards
Varun
Varun Ravindranath Please 'Mark as Answer' if my post answers your question and 'Vote as Helpful' if it helps you.

Hi
In that case the dev account from which the update is done will have the unique id or appid and the appid or the product id mapping will be always done by the store certification process.
I'm not clear on this part whether the developer who does the update of the app should update the id or the process which does the certification of the app as an update will update automatically do it?.

Difference between 4.6 and 4.7 vesion in MM point of view

Hai,
can any body tell me the difference between 4.6 and 4.7 version. Please treat it as Urgent

SAP BW 7.0 is called SAP BI and is one of the components of SAP NetWeaver 2004s. There are many differences between them in areas like extraction, EDW, reporting, analysis administration and so forth. For a detailed description, please refer to the documentation given on help.sap.com.
1. No Update rules or Transfer rules (Not mandatory in data flow)
2.Instead of update rules and Transfer rules new concept introduced called transformations.
3. New ODS introduced in additional to the Standard and transactional.
4. ODS is renamed as DataStore to meet with the global data warehousing standards.
And lot more changes in the functionalities of BEX query designer and WAD etc.
5. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
6. The Re-Modeling transaction helps you adding new key figures and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This facility is available only for info cube.
7. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) 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.
8. 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 !
9. Search functionality has improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
10. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yes, you can always revert to the old transactions too.

Difference between delta queue and unserialized v3 update - lo cockpit

Hi guys,
What is the difference between delta queue and unserialized v3 update.
How does sm13 come into picture. During system outages, how is setup table affected.
Edited by: zsl05 on Apr 22, 2009 11:29 PM

Hi,
In BW there are basically 3 types of delta queue mechanisms
1) Direct Delta: In this, as soon as the data is posted in the application tables, it is transfered to the RSA7 delta queue.
2) Queued delta: In this, as soon as the data is posted, it is first transferred to the Extractor Queue(LBWQ) and then via V3 Collective job to the delta queue periodically. The transfer sequence is the same as the sequence in which the data was created
3) Unserialized V3 : In this,when data is posted to the application table, it is posted into the Update queue first(SM13). It is then transferred to the Extractor queue (LBWQ) and then via V3 jobs to the Delta queue (RSA7). The difference lies in the fact that the sequence in which data was posted in the application table does not matter.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
