  • Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0

    Hi everyone,
    Can anybody tell me whats is the Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0.
    I am doing upgrade from ECC5.0 to ECC6.0 in Retail.
    Regards,
    Divya

    Dear Divya,
    When it is a technical upgrade from a lower version to ECC6.0, many objects like includes, Function modules, reports, OSS notes, DDIC objects, BDC/Print programs, SAP scripts, screens will get affected due to the upgradation. So we need to check with all these objects.
    u2022 We will encounter short dumps while executing certain programs. This may be due to the usage of obsolete function modules or Unicode errors.
    u2022 The BDCs in the upgraded version will become defective as many of its screen field names will be changed during version change.
    u2022 Program texts of many programs will be lost. They have to be restored.
    u2022 In case of tables, enhancement category has to be provided.
    u2022 There is a possibility of losing the variants during upgradation. So care should be taken to retain them before upgradation.
    u2022 ECC6.0 is case sensitive, so many of the interface programs will fail to transfer (FTP) files between systems. These objects have to be changed so that the commands passed to the external system be UPPERCASE.
    So a developer should be aware of the following:
    u2022Unicode programming is followed in ECC6.0. So we need to be aware of it to rectify certain Unicode errors which are likely to occur.
    u2022You have to run the transactions SPAU & SPDD to check for list of standard & custom objects that needs modification in the upgraded version.
    Check the below link to find more details on usage of SPAU & SPDD transactions
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
    u2022Should be aware of the objects that have become obsolete in ECC6.0. They have to be replaced by appropriate ones.For eg.:
    --> The WS_* function modules have been replaced by GUI_* FMs in ECC6.0 as WS_* FMs have become obsolete from 4.7
    -->Tables like TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively in ECC6.0.
    u2022In case of tables, we need to specify the Enhancement category.
    u2022Due to upgradation, we will lose out some variants. So we should take a back-up before proceeding with the upgradation.
    u2022In case of BDC programs, some field names will be changed. So they have to be named appropriately.

  • What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality

    Hi Experts,
    What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality.
    If we want to implement IFRS, I think New GL functionality is very helpful, but why sap is recommending only for ECC6.0 new GL functionality, Eventhough this functionality is available in ECC5.0.

  • Diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6

    Dear All,
               Can someone please enlighten me about the diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6?
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    May be there are lot of differences but broadly:
    the Inclusion of Netweaver Components happened from 4.t to ECC5.0 and ECC 6.0
    In ECC 5.0 the component versions of netweaver are of different versions but in ECC6.0 all componet versions of netweaver are same and latest.
    Unicode is another important thing for ECC6.0 and 5.0
    AP ECC 5.0 is part of SAP ERP 2004---- which runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004
    SAP ECC 6.0 is part of SAP ERP 2005 (mySAP 2005)--- runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004S
    Main difference is application components and availability of new features.
    for new features/changes in core modules like FI, MM etc.. e.g GL function is new in ECC 6.0..

    Hi,
    In ERP 6.0 we can simulate the result of an online split, which can be previewed and analyzed before a document is posted. I think this is not available in mySAP ERP 2004. In ERP 6.0 there are enhanced interfaces and integration with public sector, contract accounting, human capital management, travel management, and material ledger transfer prices. Most of the new functionality in ERP 6.0 is supported in 2004 version of SAP ERP with support package 10.

  • Any defference  display icon between ecc and ecc6

    Hi,

    my problem is i was run the one program in ecc  then output shows with icons.
    same program run in ecc6  output is same but ther is no icons like ecc
    Regards
    naresh

    Hi
    Good
    Yes you could find some new icons in between ECC and ECC 6.0 but I dont think there is lots of difference between these two, though you have not mentioned the program name it is hard to give you the correct reply on that, but yes in some standard program cases you may find this kind of problems.

  • Difference between Null and null?

    What is the difference between null and NULL?
    When is each used?
    Thanks,

    veryConfused wrote:
    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
                  filetype                = 'ASC'
             changing
                  data_tab                = iflatf
             exceptions
                  file_open_error         = 1
                  file_read_error         = 2
                  no_batch                = 3
                  gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
                  no_authority            = 6
                  unknown_error           = 7
                  bad_data_format         = 8
                  unknown_dp_error        = 12

                  others                  = 17.

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2

  • The difference between SFP+ and X2

    Dear Expert,
    I need to know what is the difference between SFP+ and X2! and can I use SFP+ card and module instead of X2?
    Thanks,
    Mohammad Saeed

    Hi,
    They are both used for 10Gig interfaces.  The difference is the connector type.
    SFP+ is LC and X2 is SC.
    You can not put an SFP+ into an X2 slot or X2 optic into a SFP+.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.
