Difference between Forms and forms in OC4J_BI_FORMS

Hi
When I logged in OAS in console. I see a row for Forms and one for reports Server.
In oc4j_BI_Forms also I see forms and reports.
What is the difference between these two forms or reports processes.Whihc one is used when we deploy forms and reports in OAS.
Thanks in Advance.

OC4J_BI_Forms holds a part of the Forms and Reports Application, but the engines run in the Forms and Reports as a different product or application, if you make any modification in OC4J_BI_Forms container it wont affect the forms and reports engines, it's necesary, but the hole work is made by the individual products, and all are necesary.
Hope this helps.
Greetings.

  • What is the difference between OAF and Forms

    Hi all
    I am new to OAF.
    I want know
    i)What is the difference between OAF & Forms
    ii) How can OAF replaces the Forms.
    iii) What r the main features in OAF & Why is advantages when compare to forms
    THanks & regards
    Goutham

    Goutham,
    Please go through the Dev guide initial chapters and most of your queries should be answered. In short, OAF scores over forms majorly becauase the pages created in OAF are considerably lighter if they had been created using Forms developer. All you need is to share a URL to your clients and they can access the pages without installing anything else on their machines. OAF has its own implementation of most of the functionalities provided by forms. In this way it is able to provide an alternative. The details can be sought from the guide.

  • What is the difference between DME and forms (smartform,sapscript)?

    rfumsv00 program doesnot give me the option to output data onto standard SAP forms for India butit gives me an option to generate DME files. Does that mean I can generate the form required as per legal reqiurements using DME?Will the output of the DME be just like the form output? How to view a DME output?

  • Difference between Macros and subroutine

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between the macros subroutine and function module functinalitywise.;

    Hi,
    Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition.
    Macros can take max 9 parameters.
    Macros are expanded at compilation / generation.
    Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs ('perform
    ' of 'perform in program ').
    Subroutines can take any amount of parameters.
    Subroutines are 'expanded' at runtime.
    Functions are just like FORMs, but are intended to be called external.
    Some differences between FUNCTIONs and FORMs:
    The name of a FORM must be unique within the program (two programs can have different FORMs with the same name). A FORM is intended to be called internal (from within the program, however by a 'trick' you can call them external).
    The name of a FUNCTION has to be unique throughout the system. A FUNCTION is intended to be called external (and is thus shared by 'many' programs).
    The latter is more important for programmers and maintenance. Since a FUNCTION is called external, it is important to keep the interface (parameters) the same. The interface of a FORM (which is intended to be called internal) is check when debugging a program (but it is only checked within the program that is debugged). So if the interface of a FORM is changed, but the call to the FORM (perform ) is not, the debugger will notice this and issue an error message.
    In general:
    A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice.
    A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external).
    A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external.
    Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I've never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

  • What is the difference between form6i and form10g

    Respected Guru's,
    I actually want to know the difference between form6i and form 10g.
    Is it bad or good to work on form 6i as compare to form 10g.
    plez help me.

    The biggest difference is between 6i and 10g is that 6i is client-server and 10g is Webforms(although you can run 6i forms as web).
    It's always best to use the latest version: new features, solved bugs and of course support wise.

  • Difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i

    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi Balu.,
    As per my findings the After Parameter is fired after the Parameters are given to the report and Before Report fires when the queries are parsed and data is fetched.

  • Difference between After parameter Form Trigger and before Report Trigger

    hi,
    Can some one tell me difference between After parameter form Trigger and Before parameter trigger.
    Why do we need both these trigger , why can't we use any one of them because after parameter trigger will obviously fire before report trigger and similarly before report trigger will fire after parameter form.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    i will make it clear..!
    Actually, we have four type of triggers in reports..!
    Before Parameter -- fires before params are suppied to the calling report..
    After Parameter -- fires after params are suppied to the calling report..
    Before Report -- fires before report is generated..
    After Report. -- fires after report is generated..
    Before Report and After Report triggers are used for formatting the report design..
    like u can specify a report to be displayed based on a condition in the Before
    Report trigger and u can specify some backend updations in the after report trigger
    which fires after report is generated..

  • Difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package

    Hi experts!
    Could you tell me what is the difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package?
    Tkanks
    Gabriel

    Hi,
    Basic difference between Export and Export from Fact Table is
    In standard package "Export" : We can perform this function when we are online and we have adequate amount of data to be exported. We can run this package eg: weekly or monthly. Here we use u201CExport Packageu201D to pull the data
    And in the administrative package "Export from Fact Table"   Mostly it is used to do the backend data loading  basically bulk data , also any formula logic has to be implemented on the data in that case we use the administrative package.
    Hope this helps.

  • In smart forms-- difference between table and template

    can you please tell me what is the difference between table and template in smart forms,
    and als give me some object developed in smart forms.

    it is not recommended because, when ever we activate the smartform it generates one function module.
    if we transport that driver program and smartform to testing or production, in that server the generated function module name will be differ.
    hope u got it.
    for this we need to use these function modules.

  • What is the difference between avi and mov

    Hi FCP users,
    I am actually an audio guy, but I would like an answer on something.
    I work with Logic, and usually use quicktime movies when I am working to movies. But I am working with a client who is an Avid user and swears by avi files. Can someone explain to me the difference. My client explained to me that avi's are better than mov files. He claims their file sizes are bigger, so therefore there quality is better. He said there is some form of compression on quicktime movies which lessen the quality to avi, even if the mov is uncompressed apparently the quality is still less than an uncompressed avi. If this is not true, could someone give me the real big difference between the two.
    I thought is was more of a preference, like windows users prefer wav, and apple users like quicktime movies. Like with audio, there isnt a huge difference between aif and wav. Windows users prefer wav and apple users aif.
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    The vid guy has sent me some files to work with. So I am working in Final Cut to edit some of the video, and then sending it back to him. He is working on PC with Avid. What is the best. Should I convert the avi files he has sent to me to mov files. Then pull these into FCP, and then export it out as avi for him. Or should I export out as mov, and then he converts them to avi when he pulls it into Avid on his PC? Very confusing which is the best procedure between Mac and PC.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    This is a disaster in the making. You can avoid being part of the train wreck by either renting an Avid, going to live at his house, or telling him to get a Macintosh.
    You must find the lowest common denominator video format that will work on both of your systems. That could be conventional DV, dunno, never used Avid and never tried to edit anything on a PC. But I can tell you this with absolute certainty, it will be easier and, in the end, much less expensive for one of you to adopt the other's platform for the duration of this project. The time you waste transcoding, arguing, formatting your drives, buying secondary products, fitting round pegs into square holes, and trying to find a workable solution (that will keep changing as the project gets more complicated) will cost you much more in terms of money out of pocket and creative frustration than simply buying/renting another station.

  • What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

    Hello everybody,
    I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
    So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
    Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
    I would be very thankful for some helping information!
    Greetings,
    Mareike the beginner

    Welcome to our community
    I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
    It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
    For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
    With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
    Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Difference between iteratior and List Iterator

    Difference between iteratior and List Iterator

    Ravikumar:
    You have already posted something quite similar to this posting here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=735377
    While I cannot speak for everyone else here, I personally find your approach rather rude and inconsiderate. The manner in which you are posting these questions implies that you not only do not recognize that there is work involved in answering them but that you do not sufficiently understand them in such a manner as to be able to phrase them coherently.
    I expect that you are attempting to do your homework by exploiting the helpful people on this forum rather than by learning the material in question. If I am mistaken as to your intentions, please inform me and I will apologize to you. However, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would have such poor forum etiquette as not to realize that posting a "question" in the form of a topic statement is impolite.
    There are many fine people here who will assist you in learning and applying Java; I have relied upon their assistance on multiple occasions and found it indispensible. But you are far more likely to receive a helpful response (at least from me) if you take the time to express your questions more fully and (especially) to learn the material.
    Cheers and happy learning.

  • Difference between billing and invoice?

    Hi all
    can anybody say Difference between billing and invoice?
    thanks

    Hi Ipsit,
    Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment
    Tables are VBRK & VBRP. For flow, go to transaction VF03, enter document number and hit 'Display Document Flow' button on toolbar
    VBRK and VBRP holds billing/invoice details..
    Billing Document:
    Generic term for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, pro forma invoices and cancellation documents.
    The tables are VBRK and VBRP.
    2) -- once u do PGI the delivery document will be created. There is no way to stop it.. The thing u can to do go to the list of created deliveries in VL09. Select the delivery doc which u created. There u have the option of reversing the goods or canceling it.
    Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.
    After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.
    Please Reward If Really Helpful,

  • Hi All difference between abap and hr-abap urgent pls

    Hi All difference between abap and hr-abap urgent pls

    Hello,
    To add to the above points regarding infotypes
    Infotypes stand apart in  HR and manage a volume of data in HR domain..they are unique to HR module ranging from basic employee information to time management and finally the custom infotypes.....
    Payroll and other monetory activities related to an employee also form a vital part of the HR module....
    while considering Reports..in HR data is mainly with respect to infotypes and the concept of PAKEY...7 key fields which uniquely defines any record in an infotype is used..with Pernr(employee number),Begda(begindate) and Endda(enddate) form an integral part of the key..Based on the time constraints(1,2,3) of an infotype the keys are judged (to retrieve data from an infotype)
    In ABAP HR we also have lots of predefined function modules that can be used..eg:go to se37..put 'HR*' and press F4...
    finally to update an HR infotype record we use the function module hr operation rather than direct updates...also there are standard audit trail reports that monitors various activities such as insert/modify/delete operations on an hr infotype record...
    Pls revert back for clarity and reward if helpful
    Regards
