Difference between essbase technical and functional consultant

Hi Essbase/Planning gurus, i am new to hyperion essbase/planning, please help me on below questions.
1) Difference between essbase technical consultant and functional consultant (Roles)
2) Difference between Hyperion planning technical consultant and functional consultant (Roles)
Thanks in advance,
Raraju.

Hello Raraju,
I will give it a try.
Essbase and Planning have technically a different concept of roles. I think, this was not your question about.
When looking at the job responsibilities of a technical consultant in Essbase then he/she will be responsible for the server. Take care that it is running performant, has sufficient resources etc.. The person will monitor log files for possible or upcoming problems. Further, the person will set-up connections to other data sources if needed. The person will know about the OS, Networks, Webservers and the technical side of Essbase/Planning.
The functional consultant will know the details of the application(s) and will maintain them for the users. He/she will create changes to the application and helps the users to use the product. The person will know about finance/controlling and the application side of Essbase/Planning.
Regards,
Philip Hulsebosch

Difference between business blueprint and functional spec

hello
can somebody please tell me the difference between business blueprint and functional spec and how they are interrelated
Thanks

Hi Comandante,
Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client (The objects we need to develop are modified depending upon clients requirements).It represents the business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within SAP system.
Functional specifications (functional specs), in the end, are the blueprint for how you want a particular report and transaction to look and work. It details what the report will do, how a user will interact with it, and what it will look like. By creating a blueprint of the report or transaction first, time and productivity are saved during the development stage because the programmers can program instead of also working out the logic of the user-experience. It will also enable you to manage the expectations of your clients or management, as they will know exactly what to expect. Functional Spec streamlines the development process.
A functional specification is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. It guidelines and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code.
Other processes include Requirements, Objectives,Logic Specification,User documentation,The Final Product.
Hope this Helps, Revert for any further info.
Cheers,
Tanish

Difference between abap object and function

hi all,
i read the book on abap object of the difference between abap object and classical abap.
i know that there is only 1 instance of a specific function group but somehow i still not so clear why subsequent vehicle cannot use the same function. i also can use the do and loop to call the function? if cannot then why?
hope can get the advice.
thanks

Try to repeat this using a function group and I think you'll undestand because it'll be very hard to do it.
By only one function group how can u read the data of a certain vehicle?
Yes you can create in the function group an internal table where u store the data of every car: in this way u use the internal table like it was an instance, but you should consider here the example is very simple. Here we have only the speed as characteristic, but really we can have many complex characteristics.

HT5467 iPhone iOS 6. What is the difference between, respective purposes, and functions of having both location services for photos vs camera

What is the difference and respective functions of turning on or off location services for "photos" and "camera" ? I guess I don't see what purpose of having the option for photos location services in addition to the camera option?

Thanks,
one hypo:
If I always had location services off for the camera, while taking all my photos, then there should be no metadata embedded at all in the first place, so then the photos selection becomes redundant?

Diif between Stored procedure and function

HI
I want all the differences between Stored procedure and function.
Even the basic diff is Procedure does not return any value and Function must be...
Thansk In advance...

1) Functions are used for computations where as procedures can be used for performing business logic That's an opinion on usage not an actual difference.
3) You can have DML(insert,update, delete) statements in a function. But, you can not call such a function in a SQL query.Not true. As User defind functons limitations we can use a function that issues DML in a SELECT statement, if it uses the PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION.
4) Function parameters are always IN, no OUT is possibleEasily refutable...
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_f (p OUT NUMBER) RETURN DATE
2 AS
3 BEGIN
4     p := to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'DD'));
5     RETURN sysdate;
6 END;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> var x number
SQL> var d varchar2(18)
SQL> exec :d := my_f(:x)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print d
D
18-NOV-05
SQL> print x
         X
        18
SQL>
Stored Procedure :supports deffered name resoultion Example while writing a stored procedure that uses table named tabl1 and tabl2
etc..but actually not exists in database is allowed only in during creationNot sure what this one is about...
SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE my_p AS
2      n NUMBER;
3 BEGIN
4     SELECT count(*) INTO n
5     FROM tab1;
6 END;
7 /
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
SQL> sho err
Errors for PROCEDURE MY_P:
LINE/COL ERROR
4/4      PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
5/9      PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>
7) A procedure may modifiy an object where a function can only return a value.An ounce of test is worth sixteen tons of assertion...
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_f2 RETURN VARCHAR2
2 AS
3 BEGIN
4       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE what_ever (col1 number)';
5      RETURN 'OK!';
6 END;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> exec :d := my_f2
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> desc what_ever
Name                                      Null?    Type
COL1                                               NUMBER
SQL> I think there are only two differences between a procedure and a function.
(1) A function must return a value
(2) because of (1) we can use functions in SQL statements.
There are some minor difference in allowable syntax but they are to do withj RETURN values.

Key Differences between Essbase System 9 and 11

Hi,
I understand that there are several architectural underpinnings that are different between system 9 and system 11. The other day a business user asked me to point out key differences between system 9 and 11.
the first thing that jumped at me was the thin client architecture, where you dont have to install EAS or Studio on to user system..
Can anyone help me tabulate the key differences interms of end user functionality and in terms of developer interfaces.
any inputs would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Here are some things I particularly like about System11 Essbase
<li>Ability to store text and dates as measure values (intersection data)
<li>Lifecycle Management & Lifecycle Management API
<li>Single click backup and restore
<li>Attributes that can be changed over time to preserve historical data
<li>ASO Maxl data slice clearing & inversion
<li>Ability to use Environment Variables
<li>Implied Share override
<li>@DateDiff and @DatePart
Here is a comprehensive list of the System 11 new features:

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.

Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

A Payer is the individual or company who settles the invoices foa a service or for delivered goods.
Whereas the account group determines:
Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data
Whether you can or must make an entry in these fields
How master record numbers are assigned (externally by you or internally by the system) and the number range from which they are assigned
Which partner functions are valid
Whether the business partner is a one-time customer or one-time vendor.

What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it.
The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S. If you would like to get more details, you can always view
each models specs on Apple's online store.
See here for a better explanation.
