Difference between extraction as a batch job and BADI

Hello
Please can somoene explain me what does this mean:
The extractor is based on the running of a BADI when tickets are saved rather than extraction as a batch job
thanks

Hi Tom,
Batch Job and BAdi's are two different things but their purpose is somewhat similar i.e. background processing.
BAdi's are SAP enhancmenents where in you can attach your own code to SAP code which is getting executed so that along with std code to ger our job is done.
Background jobs are scheduled to run in system periodically. Here we can code like it will check for certain things and then if required it will execute some code.
Thanks and Regards,

Difference between batch job and Background Job

Hi Forum,
Can anyone distinguish between batch job and background job for me please ?
SK

Hi,
Batch Job:
A batch job is a process that runs in the background, often deferred and unattended, to process data in groups (batch) rather than by individual transactions (e.g. a monthly phone bill rather than a bill for each individual phone call). A batch job executes a sequence of programs and technical instructions that are stored in a command file. Progress and error messages are output to a log file allowing users to determine, at any time, if the batch job completed successfully or identify the cause of the problem. Because batch jobs run in the background they are less visible to the end user.
In a business-computing context, batch job scheduling implies the automatic execution of background tasks (batch jobs) at pre-determined points in time (e.g. every day at 8pm, midday on Wednesday).
3 types of batch job scheduling can be distinguished: native, basic and advanced batch job scheduling.
Most operating systems and some business solutions software come equipped with native batch job scheduling tools that provide a limited service (e.g. Windows Scheduled Tasks, UNIX crontab, SAP CCMS) locally to each installation. However, business processes may span multiple platforms, applications, countries and companies. Their complexity may require much more functional power as provided by basic batch job scheduling including national and regional variations in the working calendar, sequence variations according to the day of the month, triggering of jobs by the successful completion of preceding jobs, elimination of gaps and reduced batch windows. Major benefits of basic batch job scheduling are enhanced productivity, operations reliability and cost-reduction. For e-business applications that require real-time processing, the distance between interactive individual processing and batch processing tends to decrease. Advanced batch job scheduling can handle these advanced requirements: event-driven scheduling for a real-time synchronization with interactive processing, just-in-time scheduling to run operations as soon as possible, cross-platform and cross application services for the entire IT landscape, real-time overall monitoring to track background operations for all applications on all servers.
The standard benefits of batch job scheduling are drastically amplified when job schedulers can handle the end-to-end automation and monitoring requirements for all background operations.
To schedule a back ground job follow the below steps:
1. Use Transaction SM36.
2. Assign a job name.
3. Set the jobs priority, or Job Class:
High --- Class A
Medium --- Class B
Low ---Class C
4. Here you can specify,when the job is to start by choosing Start Condition. If you want the job to repeat, or be periodic, check the box at the bottom.
Else click on the immediate and save this.
5. Now,define the jobs steps by choosing Step.
Here you need to give the ABAP program that has been used and the name of the variant thats being used.
6. Save the fully defined job to submit it to the background processing system.(You need to click save button on the main screen i.e SM36)
7. When you need to modify, reschedule, or otherwise manipulate a job after you've scheduled it the first time, you'll manage jobs from the Job Overview.
8. Release the job so that it can run.
The job, even those scheduled for immediate processing, can not run without first being released.So,do remember to release.
Hope this helps you.

Rakesh

CIF Batch jobs and LUW

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me about CIF Batch jobs and LUW please. Explain these two in detail whether they are the same or any difference and any relationship between both.
Thanks in advance
Suvecha

Hi
LUW stands for Logical Unit of work.
Its a way of binding data together(multiple CIF queues under a single entity)
It is useful to maintain the atomicity of data.
For ex :- Say u have 5 materials under a single TLB order and u have sent that order to R3 for recieving number.If any of those materials is having master data which doesn't satisfy the filter criteria for Integration Model then the whole LUW will be blocked.
Signifies the entire data set will be passed on as a single LUW.
For CIF batch Jobs could you please explain what exactly you want to know.
Thanks

Batch job and background job

Hi
what is the difference between a batch job and backgroun job ??
thanks
kumar

hi kumar,
As far as I know
Batch job are the jobs created with sessions. You can process those sessions in SM35. These are not direct update methods.
Where as the background jobs are the jobs running in the background with out user interaction. Once you schedule the job for the background job it will run with out user interaction according to the given schedule.
You can run the batch jobs also in background.

Difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver

Hi all,
How to get connection pooling with out application server and tomcat also?
What is the difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver supported connection pooling?
Regards,

maybe the performance of App server pool is better than the JDBC pool,
for you don't know wether the implementation of the JDBC interface is good or bad.

What the difference between u0093Valuate GL Account Open Itemsu0094 and u0093Valuate G/

hi gurus
What the difference between Valuate GL Account Open Items and Valuate G/L Account Balances?
We found out that when we perform valuate GL account Open items there will be reversal done at the same time whereas when we perform Valuate G/L Account Balances there is NO reversal posting even though we hv entered the reversal posting date and Period.
Pls advise which one we should perform?

Valuate GL Account Open Items are for open item managed accounts including vendor/customer accounts. The valuation is performed for each (open) line items on key date specified.
"Valuate GL Balance" is for account NOT managed on Open Item basis but managed in foreign currency. The period balance of key date in foreign currency is valuated. Reversal document can be created by selecting 'Reverse postings' in "Postings" tab.

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]
2/
PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

Hi!
I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
Thanks and best regards!
Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

Hi,
Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor' or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account'
Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

Dear Adobe Support Team,
I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
Kind Regards,
Vikraman.G

Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

Hello,
Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Anil

HI
try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..

Difference between Testing Message in Integarion Engine and Adapter Engine

Hi Experts,
in project, we always test message in runtime workbench>component monitoring>integration engine-->Test Messge
however, i also find that in runtime workbench>component monitoring>adapter engine also exists a Test Message tab.
we don't have access to test messages in this tab, so can anyone tell that what is the difference between testing message in integration engine and adapter engine?
thanks in advance.

The usual flow of messages in scenarios which use adapters at both sender and receiver end is as follows
Sender system -> Adapter Engine -> Integration Engine -> Adapter Engine -> Receiver system
When you use the testing option in IE, then you are basically posting the message directly to the Integration Engine.
When you use the testing option in AE, then you are trying to post the message to the adapter engine, which will then forward the message to the Integration Engine. IN this testing, you are also testing the sender adapter also.
