Difference between SAP SLD and SAP Management console

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks
Shailik

Hi,
SAP SLD  is the central information provider in a system landscape.this contains both Component information and Landscape description.COMPONENT Info in sense all the sap products and components along with their versions, And also third party products also.LANDSCAPE desc in sense the description of all the systems in particular landscape.
Example:This can shows exact idea for you.Components like CAF,Webdynpo(WD-java),BPM etc info.And the host names,Message server ports etc.Here we dont have start/stop functionality.
SAP MC provides a common framework for centralized system management. It allows you to monitor and perform basic administration tasks on the SAP system centrally, thus simplifying system administration. Using the SAP MC you can
1.Monitor and control (start, stop, or restart) the SAP system and its instances with a single tool
2.Monitor system alerts
3.Display the list of all access points to an SAP system etc.
We can see difference by looking into http://<host name>:<port>/index.html
Look and feel are also differ.
For more info you can go through these links of sap help.

  • 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.

  • What is the difference between Serial numbers and Batch management.

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone explain the difference between Serial Number and Batch Management in breif.
    Regards
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Serial number management and batch management are different functions that can be
    used in conjunction with each other.
    A batch represents a non-reproducible subset
    of the total quantity of a material held in stock, which is managed separately from
    other subsets of the same material.
    For Example  Different production lots
    (for example, paints, wallpapers, pharmaceutical products), delivery lots or quality
    grades of a material.
    whereas a serial number is a number that you give to an individual item of material in addition
    to the material number, in order to differentiate between this individual piece and all
    other items of the material. The combination of material number and serial number
    is unique. It is not necessary to use the batch management function to use serial
    number management.

    Inventory Accounting & Management
    If you deal in goods, of any type, you'll appreciate the Inventory capabilities in Tally.ERP 9.
    You can comprehensively record all types of inventory transactions, using goods receipt notes, delivery notes, stock journals, manufacturing journals and physical stock journals. All stock movements are fully recorded and maintained in stock registers.
    Developed for all manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or traders a small list of features are briefly described below:
    Manufacturers:
    . Bill of materials and Manufacturing Journals, to record material conversions
    . Compound bill of materials support, for units that contain assemblies
    . Multiple locations (godowns)
    . Excise for manufacturers, including all documentation and invoice
    . Costing for jobs
    Distributors & Wholesalers:
    . Multiple price lists, with effective dates of applicability
    . Use multiple units of measure (say KG's & grams)
    . Dual units of measure (say KG's and bags, to support variations as happens in commodities)
    Traders:
    . High speed billing, with support for POS printers
    . Bar code support
    . Automatic application of taxes
    . Service billing & service tax
    . Integrated sales return in bills

    . You can choose to de-link the computed inventory value to automatically appear in
       your financial statements - and enter this figure manually.
    . Stock ageing reports, to identify slow and non-moving stocks
    . Invoice profitability reports to keep a pulse on sales
    . Multi-currency transactions - buy and sell across the world - with integrated forex  gain/loss calculations
    . Physical stock take records to adjust physical vs. actual stocks
    . Maintain batch & expiry details
    Purchases & Payables: from Order to Payment
    Tally.ERP 9 delivers the entire purchase cycle whether the need is the complete purchase order - goods receipt - rejections & returns - advances, debits & payments or a single payment entry, fulfilling all needs.
    To ensure that you have the right stocks and minimize carrying costs, Tally.ERP 9 delivers the following to improve purchase orders:
    . Define Re-order levels as a definite number or based on consumption
    . Define minimum quantity to order as a definite number or based on consumption
    . Pull up a report that shows the stock position, including complete details of open purchaseorders, sales orders that need to be fulfilled - check on past purchase history, and then place orders
    . Optionally stagger delivery dates in the PO
    When receiving goods:
    . Make entries in accordance with supporting documentation, including errors your suppliers could have made (say of multiplication & round off)
    . Incorporate additional costs
    . Automatically manage input taxes
    . Flexibility allows receipt of goods, quantities and rates different from that ordered - since this is common in real life
    . Record samples & free items (using different 'actual' & 'billed' quantities)
    . Multiple receipts for one order or one receipt for multiple orders, or against verbal ordersIn case there is a need to add other costs (say coolie and cartage) these additional charges can be apportioned to the cost of goods purchased.
    Supplied goods may not match your needs and these are managed by the 'Rejections Out' inventory voucher. Supplier dues, input taxes and inventory positions are updated.
    Suppliers often indicate likely profits, which may not be met. In case such assurances are made, you can look at Item profitability reports, and get the facts right. You could then negotiate a rebate and record this as a debit note.
    Keep tabs of how much is due to whom, when. Manage advances, payables & post dated checks. Ensure there are no errors in payments - print checks from Tally.ERP 9.
    Sales & Receivables: from Order to Receipt
    The lifeline of a business, efficiencies in sales operations, both of goods & services, directly impact growth and profitability. The need to optimise and keep a close watch here requires exceptional capabilities from your business IT system - and Tally.ERP 9 meets these demands.
    The sales process is supported with the following documents:
    . Quotations - records of quotes
    . Sales orders - accepted customer orders
    . Deliver Notes - documents that accompany goods
    . Sales Invoices/Cash Bill - to record the sale
    . Credit Notes - for financial adjustments
    . Rejections in - for goods returns
    . Receipts - for advances and receipts
    Do you have cash sales (sales across the counter)? With support for Point of Sale printers, bar codes and receipts in multiple tenders, you POS enable your business at no additional cost. Product sales may come with added services - and the integrated product & service billing will close this.
    Enforce credit limits, where needed. Along with the Payment Performance of Debtors report you can identify persistent problems and take necessary business decisions. Interest for delays & reminder letters aid in collection.
    For businesses engaged in Excisable goods, you get full support for Excise for Traders & Manufacturing Excise - matter of fact a business could be both!
    Make multiple deliveries from one order, or one from multiple orders - this common need is available across all documents of the sales process.
    Do you have multiple classes of customers? You can easily setup multiple prices (even in advance and specify the date from which they are effective).
    Discounts against the line, or for the document, additional charges as a percentage or lump sum, automatic round off of bill totals, automatic computation of VAT & Service tax, returns & exchanges are all available.Need to verify that you are making the desired sales margins? Item wise and bill wise profitability reports will help you keep tabs.
    Multi-company
    Security: With multiple companies, possibly including personal accounts, you may need to control who gets access to which companies, and to do what. You can set up users, grant or deny access - and these are defined for each company.
    Remote Access: You choose to specify which company is accessible remotely. You choose which remote users have access; you decide what access a remote user gets.
    Central User Management: Users come and go. You might also have a password policy requiring users to change passwords every few weeks. You can take advantage of the ease of central user and password management that Tally.NET identities carry - and even remotely manage these while not in office.

    What is Series B
    This Series will deliver major enhancements both in entirely new areas of functionality as well as in technology capabilities.
    Technology & Capability Enhancements
    Multi-session
    Support for multiple application windows, which can even be launched by clicking on a mail link or a 'shortcut., Each of these are simultaneous 'windows' into different areas of your business processes & reports. Dynamic data refresh and the display of different views when resizing - for e.g. smaller windows displaying a more consolidated view of data, will improve organizational management and productivity.
    Multi-threaded
    A 'thread' is a specific task that is being performed by the microprocessor. Enhanced capabilities will be enabled such that each application window can perform more tasks simultaneously instead of linearly, including processing messages from the server. Multi-core processors, even on the desktop, are now common. We will take full advantage of these as well.
    Multi Stack Architecture for Scale-up & Scale-down Deployments
    To deliver the capabilities described above, and the ones that follow, Tally.ERP 9 will become 'componentised' - consisting of several layers of programs - often referred to as 'n-tier architecture'.
    These software components are horizontally scalable, meaning that you can add one more computer to increase the computing power needed for a layer. In the same way, you can remove systems as needed, or collapse them into a single system - all of them even on a notebook, if required.
    High Transaction Capacity with Low Latency & Management
    Let us say that you start generating a report that needs to be extracted from a few thousand vouchers. This process is run in a 'session', which is isolated from all other users. Even if other users delete or modify any of the vouchers needed for the report while the report is being compiled, there is no impact on this session and you will get to see the report as if these other users did not exist.
    In the same way, the user performing the edit will also be isolated. After the edit, he can open the voucher and see it with the changes he made, perhaps even delete it.
    The architecture described above will in itself deliver substantial performance and transaction handling capacity. To push performance further in those cases when the storage media (typically the hard disk) is busy with other operations, additional capabilities will store these transactions 'temporarily' in a 'Q' for later write, while the user is free to continue his work (these transactions are protected against power failures and so on).
    Payment Engine for Debit & Credit Cards
    The facility for online payments using a variety of payment mechanisms (NEFT, online banking, credit cards), as well as receive payments (Debit / Credit Cards, NEFT etc) will be available.
    Functional Enhancements
    Online Banking and Reconciliation
    Collaborating with Banks who wish to facilitate their customers with this capability, we will provide Online Banking - including Payment Instructions, Standing Instructions, DD, NEFT,RTGS Transfers, Balance Queries, Instruction Status, Automated or Semi-Automated Bank Reconciliation.
    Point-of-Sale for most Retail Environments
    Series B will support dedicated POS terminals, with Credit/Debit Card, Discount Coupons and various other payment mixes, Loyalty support, schemes, multi-layered supervisory control, simultaneous keyboard and scanner controls, integrated or isolated printing of bill and credit card authorisation slips, item substitution, rate markup/markdowns, integration with measuring devices - such as weighing scales, bill suspension and retrieval, bill reversals and cancellations, etc. It can also be used for other store operations (receipting, inventory management etc), and general business operations (finance and accounts) - both on the same machine or separate machines.
    Income Tax
    Comprehensive IT coverage encompassing corporate & individual income tax, including typical payroll requirements and e-Returns will be available.
    EXIM Documentation
    Import & export documentation has become a growing need with the world economy becoming more open. This requirement will be supported, additionally covering the processes that need to be managed along with the documentation.
    Job Costing
    The enhanced Job Costing functionality will support most job costing needs to a level of granularity that is increasingly needed. We expect that you will be able to handle most, if not all, project accounting needs as well.
    Fixed Assets
    To take advantage of tax breaks as well as to manage organizational assets, this feature will support all requirements - from opening assets, adding, removing, amalgamating, grouping, vendor tagging, AMC's, servicing, service calendars, repairs and upkeep, refurbishing, breaking-down, depreciating and disposal for complete fixed asset management.

  • Difference between controlling budgetting and funds management

    Hi All,
    Can any one please explain me about the differece between controlling budgeting and funds management.
    What are the additioanl features available in funds management when compared to budgetting in controllin
    Thanks in Advance
    Raka

    Hi Raka,
    FUNDS MANAGEMENT
    The mySAP Public Sector solution plans and controls the flow
    of revenues and expenditures, guides you through planning and
    creating budgets, and uses active availability control to monitor
    management appropriation. Funds management capabilities
    simplify the design of budget plans using special planning techniques
    and make it possible to differentiate provisional budget
    plans. The solution supports centralized and decentralized
    planning and budget execution of funds.
    Controlling budgets is a headache for businesses of all sizes. Many smaller businesses start off
    on the right foot by putting in place a good book-keeping system, but then fail to exercise
    proper financial control and end up in trouble. The only way to make sure that you make a
    profit is to control the budget efficiently. To do this, you need to estimate your sales income
    reasonably accurately, estimate your costs precisely, and keep both under control. You also
    need to charge the right price for your end product in your chosen market(s). It is important
    systematically to collect all financial documents in a methodical way, and keep all your figures
    up to date on a daily basis. This actionlist will look at some of the most common problems in
    controlling a budget, and suggest ways to tackle them

  • Difference between OpenSAP free and SAP paid Certifications?

    Hi OpenSAP team,
    I have taken part in few HANA courses, namely,
    "An Introduction to SAP HANA, Dr.Vishal Sikka"
    "SAP Business Suite Powered by SAP HANA"
    "Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform"
    and also registered for "SAP BW Powered by SAP HANA"
    My question is, how different are these participation certificates from the other paid fee obtained certificates? In my case, what more SAP HANA cources should I take to get equal to SAP HANA Certification?
    If these OpenSAP courses is equivalent to SAP Certifications, then that would be great.
    Many thanks,
    Gopal Seri

    Hi Gopal,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. The Record of Achievement from openSAP is not comparable to an SAP certification.
    To receive an SAP certification, you should go to the SAP Training and Certification Shop (http://training.sap.com) to find other great offerings from SAP. You can easily find courses that relate to those that you've completed on openSAP.
    For example, if you search for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA on http://training.sap.com and go to the openSAP course, you can find related courses and certifications.
    If you've completed Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform, then you can find follow up trainings on openSAP such as Next Steps in SAP HANA Cloud Platform and Extending SAP Products with SAP HANA Cloud Platform. These trainings provide you with practical skills and allow you to learn from your location. You can also find related courses and certifications from the SAP Training and Certification Shop.
    I hope that helps you to find further trainings from SAP. Happy learning!
    Kind regards,
    Claire

  • What's the difference between Screen Sharing and Remote Management?

    As the title asks. What is the difference between the two?
    Because heres the thing. I set Screen Sharing on in Sharing. Then a few days later I will go back to the Sharing preferences and instead of Screen Sharing being checked. Remote Management is now checked, not Screen Sharing. What's the deal? Is that normal?
    I was wondering if it was because I log into my iMac sometimes using my iPhone with that Mocha VNC program. Its the only program I use to remotely control my computer. Is that it?
    Any help I can get is appreciated! Thanks!

    Remote Management provides support for the additional functionality of Apple Remote Desktop as compared to a standard VNC setup. The options are otherwise identical.

  • What is the difference between Personnel Administrator and Line Manager?

    I understand that Personnel Administrator is responsible for all the master data in Personnel Administration. Who is Line Manager in Recruitment? While administering the vacancies, what is the difference between both of them in Recruitment.
    Points assured.

    Hi Nivedita,
    A line manager may be a chief position in OM Structure.
    A person who holds a managerial position in a company or department and who makes decisions in an area of responsibility.
    Line managers can act as the first person responsible for applicant correspondence.
    In the Recruitment workflow, tasks requiring a decision are sent to line managers.

    Hi Shoukath,
    The ERP system communicates with SAP CRM using CRM Middleware.
    Please find the below link for more details on CRM Middle ware
    [CRM Middleware|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/76/5ea438c42a5b2ce10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Where as
    PI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
    Process integration provides the infrastructure for business applications, that run in distributed systems. Process integration acts as the messaging middleware for service communication(both SAP and Non-SAP), connectivity, transformation and portability.
    Applications can also be connected directly with Web services (including the Web Service Reliable Messaging standard).

  • Differences Between Grid Control and Application Server Console

    Hi,
    I have come across a situation where a customer has an OC4J container and has deplyed several applications in this container. When they access Application Server Control Console thay can stop and start these applications individually.
    However, the customer cannot monitor the status/state of these applications from withing Grid Control. We can see that the OC4J container is either up or down and will be alerted for the change of status. However, if a single application within the container is down they will not be alerted.
    We are using GC 10.2.0.5, iAS 10.1.2.2. Is there a way around this, or dies the Application Server Console have a little extra functionalitly in it compared to Grid Control?
    Tim.

    Hi,
    On your grid control, create a new Notification rule and select "Web Application" from the target drop down and then select your application then in availability tab, select up and down for which you want to receive notification.

  • Folks would somebody be able to define difference between BI mobile and Afaria?

    I am looking for differences between BI Mobile and SAP Afaria, in a sense of Do's and Don'ts what they both can do and what they can't if compared with each other.
    If anyone has any knowledge on it and would like to share it would be great help, Thanks.

    FYI:  SAP has now realized the value of combining Mobile Analytics and Mobile Device/App Management, and has created an offering called "Mobile Secure BI Edition".
    This is a bundle of Lumira Desktop/Cloud, Afaria, and Mocana Mobile App Protection.  This will be announced at Sapphire, and launched in Q3 '14.

  • Solution manager, SLD and SAP MC

    Hello,
    It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
    Thanks
    Shaiikil

    We can stop, start SAP services from NWA. Now we cannot say Netweaver, NWA and MMC are similar...
    MMC is a tool/enviroment provided by microsoft for starting stopping services, managing user rights, security settings, policies and so on...
    this can never be compared with SAP Environment for similarities.
    Feel free to revert back.
