Difference between R/3 and Non R/3 Source Systems...!!!

Hi BW Experts,
Could anyone please tell me what are the differences when extracting data from R/3 and Non R/3 Source Systems. I might have to use Oracle as a Source System.
Thanks in Advance.

Difference between Snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario

Hi,
Can any one please tell me the difference between snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario in
inventory management.
Also please give example. I read the pdf " how to handle inventroy management scenarios", but can any one please give some easy to understand examples.
full points guaranteed-

hi,
In Non-cummulative method your stock movements are stored in the cube (inflow and outflow of NC KF) and the Total stock is calculated during query execution. Hence if there are lot of movements in the stock for the period you want to report on, query will take long time to execute.
In case of Snap shot scenario Stock movements are not loaded to cube. you use ODS to load the status of the stock and then from ODS you can load to Cube once in a month. So only summarized data will be availabe in Cube. Reporting will be fast.

Difference between Coupon Codes And non-Coupon Codes

Hi everybody.,
i want to know the difference between Coupon Codes And Non-Coupon Codes in ATG..

I dont think we have anything called non-coupon codes.
We have promotions codes or coupon codes associated to a single promotion. If you apply couponcode, then the promotion associated to the user gets applied to it if dates and other properties related to coupon are valid.

What is the difference between buffered acquisition and non buffered acquisition?

What is the difference between buffered acquisition and non buffered acquisition? How will I decide whether I want buffered acquisition or non buffered acquisition?

I will also add that with non buffered acquisition you have to use software timing. Windows is not a real time OS, so the the timing is not accurate. But if you use buffered acquisition the timing will be controlled with an accurate internal clock on the Daq unit. I think non buffered acquisition should be avoided in most cases.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?

Hi guru,
wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?
Regards
Subash

About brief idea about unicode
In the past, SAP developers used various codes to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encodes each character using 1 byte = 8 bit. This makes it possible to represent a maximum of 28 = 256 characters to which the combinations 00000000, 11111111 are assigned. Common code pages are, for example, ISO88591 for West European or ISO88595 for Cyrillic fonts.
EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters. EBCDIC 0697/0500 is an old IBM format that is used on AS/400 machines for West European fonts, for example.
Double-byte code pages require 1 or 2 bytes for each character. This allows you to form 216 = 65536 combinations where usually only 10,000 - 15,000 characters are used. Double-byte code pages are, for example, SJIS for Japanese and BIG5 for traditional Chinese.
Using these character sets, you can account for each language relevant to the SAP System. However, problems occur if you want to merge texts from different incompatible character sets in a central system. Equally, exchanging data between systems with incompatible character sets can result in unprecedented situations.
One solution to this problem is to use a code comprising all characters used on earth. This code is called Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) and consists of at least 16 bit = 2 bytes, alternatively of 32 bit = 4 bytes per character. Although the conversion effort for the R/3 kernel and applications is considerable, the migration to Unicode provides great benefits in the long run:
The Internet and consequently also mySAP.com are entirely based on Unicode, which thus is a basic requirement for international competitiveness.
Unicode allows all R/3 users to install a central R/3 System that covers all business processes worldwide.
Companies using different distributed systems frequently want to aggregate their worldwide corporate data. Without Unicode, they would be able to do this only to a limited degree.
With Unicode, you can use multiple languages simultaneously at a single frontend computer.
Unicode is required for cross-application data exchange without loss of data due to incompatible character sets. One way to present documents in the World Wide Web (www) is XML, for example.
ABAP programs must be modified wherever an explicit or implicit assumption is made with regard to the internal length of a character. As a result, a new level of abstraction is reached which makes it possible to run one and the same program both in conventional and in Unicode systems. In addition, if new characters are added to the Unicode character set, SAP can decide whether to represent these characters internally using 2 or 4 bytes.
A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or an NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.

Difference between Leading ledger and Non-Leading ledger

Dear friends,
what is the main difference between Leading ledger and Non-leading ledger in New G/L.
Thanks in advance,
Babu.

This concept is introduced in SAP Ecc6.0
Many companies have to maintain books for more than two fiscal years (For example 31st December as per companies act & 31st March as per income tax Act).
So leading ledger & non leading concept helps in maintianing same.
Leading Ledger is the ledger in which all the entries are posted originally. From Leading ledger all entries flow into non keading ledger. You need not pass entries seprately in leading or non leading ledger.
In case your leading ledger is Jan to December, January will be the 1st period & so on.
In case your non leading ledger is April to March, April will be 1st period.
Also, The leading ledger is based on the same accounting principle as that of the consolidated financial statement.
The non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger. They can be based for example on local accounting principles
Leading ledger is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is automatically assigned to all company codes.
In each company code, the leading ledger receives exactly the same settings that apply to that company code currencies, FYV and posting periods. You can define a second and third parallel currency for your leading ledger for each company code.
Non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger. They can be based on a local accounting principle of a country, ex: You have to activate a non-leading ledger for the individual company codes.

Difference between Persistent Messaging and Non Persitent Messaging

Hi ,
I have a confusion related to Persistent messaging.
According to my knowledge the message becomes persistent if the flag JMSDeliveryMode is set
SO what is it by defalut ??
Where do messges get stored for time being for non -persistent messages.
Thanks in Advance:)

Message persistence is set by Delivery mode attribute of the message producer in the JMS client or it can bet set on a message basis during the send operation. The default value for the delivery mode on the message producer is PERSISTENT.
Weblogic JMS has a feature to override the delivery mode set by the message producer. This is at the Destination configuration where there is an attribute called the Delivery Mode Override which can take the values:
No-Delivery: Delivery mode of the message producer will not be overridden
Persistent: All messages are marked as persistent irrespective of the message producer setting
Non Persistent: All Messages are marked as non persistent irrespective of the message producer setting.
All non persistent messages are stored in memory in normal case. If there is a pile up of messages, weblogic moves the body Messages to disk within what is called as a paging store for the JMS server, only retaining message headers in memory. The characteristic of non persistent messages is that it can't survive server restart. So these messages even when they are on the disk within the paging store wont survive the server restarts.

Link between SAP BW and SAP R/3 (Source System)

Dear all,
I want to create a source system connecting BW to Sap R/3.
I have, I think, correctly fill the different fields.
But I have an issue regarding activation of this source system.
I can not activate the source system, I have the following error message : Result of the destination check: Client 602 is not available. Please choose an existing client RSAR 375.
Is there someone who could help me to resolve this issue.
Best Regards,
Gregory

Seems that client 602 does not exist.
Are you sure that client 602 exist in R/3 system?
If it does then check if you are pointing to the right R/3 system, otherwise provide a valid client number.
Hope it helps,
Andreu

What is difference between User Exits and BAPI

hello sap gurus
what is difference between User Exits and BAPIs

http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
www.****************
Where as this customer exits are again divided into:
1. Menu Exits.
2. Field Exits.
3. Screen Exits.
4. Function module exits.
These all the things comes under Enhancements.
User exits
1.A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP.
XX represents the 2-digit exit number.UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
2.USER EXITS are FORMS and are called by SAP standard programs
using PERFORM.
3.Inside the form (user exit) you can read and change almost
any global data from host program.
4. User exits are more flexible because you have more information to use in your code but on the other hand , it is very easy to manipulate erroneously global data and lead the standard program to a dump or even to make database inconsistent.
5.While changing User-exit,Access Key is required,
BAPI is nothing function module but which is remote enabled, means you can access this fm through other SAP or non-SAP system by assingning to business object,which we can crea in SWO1 transaction.

Difference between primary eindex and secondary index?

hi experts
pls answer me
difference between primary eindex and secondary index?
rewads apply.
thanks.
naresh.

hi,
check this link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21eb2d446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
A difference is made between Primary & Secondary indexes to a table. the primary index consists of the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-keys-fields of the table. The Primary index is generated automatically when a table is created and is created in the datebase as the same times as the table. It is also possible to define further indexes to a table in the ABAP/4 dictionary, which are then referred to as Secondary indexes.
Always it is not mandatory that an index should have all the key fields of a table. To see the index of a table
goto SE11->specify table name->click on the indexes... button on the application toolbar.
Based on your requirement you can you any of those index fields in the where clause of your query. Always its a better practice to use the index fields in the order specified. While selecting the records from a table it is always better to select the fields in the same order as specified in the table.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

Differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC

Hello All,
Can you please let me know the differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC. What I know is SEM BCS is an SAP product for Financial Consolidation (Legal and Management). SAP BPC is the new product taken over from Outlooksoft. It also features the consolidationa and planning functionalities. Can you please suggest which is a better product.
Regards
Vikram

There is nothing like better or worse product.
BCS has some strong features like consolidation monitor, investment consolidation and for most consolidation functions, configuration is very easy. In BPC, you may have to write scripts.
BCS has BW as the backbone where for BPC 5.1 there is none. Howveer, in BPC 7.0, the BPC will rest on BI and things will be much better.
