Difference between Form Interface and Global definitions in Smartforms.

Hi guys!
I'm learning about Smartforms.
I would like to know which is the difference between Form Interface from the Global Settings and Global Definitions from Global settings as well, because in both of them I have to declare tables, structures, variables, etc. Could you please explain to me when should I use them?
Thanks!
Gaby

Two ways to use Smart Form:
1.     by using Application Program
2.     By coding in Smart form itself.
Now, if the 1st method is used then same interface can be used  for multiple requirements. For eg two different programs Z1 and Z2, may use same interface. Hence a lot of efforts are reduced.
On the other side in 2nd method, multiple forms have to be created to fulfill different requirements.
Now, Global Definiton is something that is irrespective of which Program is being used, the form nodes can use the Global definition in all cases.
Also all tables etc must be declared in the Global setting.

Sana

    What is the Difference between abstract interface and
    normal interface?....The difference is that you didn't follow convention in the first case. All interfaces are implicitly abstract so you don't have to declare them as such.

  • Could I configure local switching between sub-interface and global interface on ASR9k?

    Could I configure local switching between sub-interface and global interface on ASR9k?

    For 2 interfaces it is probably best to use an xconnect. It is faster and saves system resources (eg mac learning doesnt apply to xconnect).
    Config example:
    l2vpn
     xconnect group link
      p2p link
       interface Bundle-Ether100.4321
       interface Bundle-Ether500.4321
    EFP config:
    interface Bundle-Ether100.4321 l2transport
     encapsulation dot1q 4000
     rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
    interface Bundle-Ether500.4321 l2transport
     encapsulation dot1q 2000
     rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
    This example shows that you can link 2 EFP's with different vlan's together if you'd pop the tags.
    If the EFP's are of the same vlan, then popping the tag can be done but not a must. In general it is recommended to always pop vlan tags so there is a standard EFP design, but not for any technical reasons.
    When you use a bridge domain and using a BVI, you MUST pop the tags as the BVI has no notion of a vlan tag and wants to see "plain ethernet".

  • What is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?

    Hi folks,
    Could you please explain me, "what is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?"
    Are they really same or not?
    --Subbu                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    Hi flounder,
    I too know that there is no such a term GLOBAL in java.
    generally people use to say a variable which is accessible throught out the class or file has global access
    and that will be called as a global variable...
    my point is very much similar to what Looce said.
    In simple that is not a technical term, but just a causual term.
    In technically my question is, "What is the difference between a instance variable and public variable?".
    Hi looce,
    Thanks for the reply. even thats what my understanding too....in order to confirm that i raised this question..
    Your reply has given a clear answer...... thanks again.

  • Deff. b/w form interface and globel definition

    what is the defference bt form interface and globel definition

    Hi,
    Form Interface is where you get your internal tables, variables and all necessary information from the driver program. You specify the required data here.
    Pls note that if you need to pass internal tables from the driver program to the SF then you need to create a structure with the similar fields in your internal table and give a reference to the same here in Form interface.
    The import and export are nothing but same like a Function module, for variable to be passed from the driver program add them in the import tab. Export you can just let it remain as it is.
    In the tables tab add the tables what you require from the driver program.
    Global definitions are nothing but where you declare variables, work areas required to be used further in you program.
    To do coding in SF, you need to add program lines. This you can do by creating any window and then on the left hand tree of the main window, right click and then you can find the options to create various things like table, window, program lines, command et.al.
    Hope this helps you to build a brief idea about Smartforms.
    There will be various links in sap help, blogs and also in this forum where you can find loadsa information!!

  • Difference Between Local Project and Global Project

    H Gurus,
    What is the main difference between Local Implimentation Project and Global implimentation Project. If the Global project started with some interwels at various locations. Please tell me in respect of configuration of GL AR AP.

    Hi Kumar,
    If the project started at various locations, the first thing you should take care, is setting of posting period variants and fiscal year variants.  next will be time schdules, as there will be climatic and timing constraints which may cause some work disorders.  Last but not least is, co-ordination among all project locations. I think this will help to some extent.
