Difference between source file and source structure

Hello,
I have a source file with around 60 fields. But I need to upload only 5 fields. I defined a source structure in LSMW with 5 fields and specified the file with 60 fields as the source file. But when the data is read, only 2 out of 5 fields are read. What should I do?
Thank you

Hi !!
    In case you are selecting only limited fields form a file with more fields in LSMW . Please apply following consideration :
1. Add a dummy field in your source structure to make the whole structure size equal to the  total width of all fields in the source file. This is because in LSMW the file is read for the length of the SOURCE STRUCTURE width only . So if i want to read only field3 in following example i still need toa dda dummy field to ensure LSMW reads a total width of source file as the FIELD3 is at absolute end of the source file from length 40 to 60 only .
For example :
if my source file ahs following firve fields : FIELD1 (10) , FIELD2(30),FIELD3 (20) .
Declare your source structure as : FIELD3 (20),FIELD_DUMMY (40) .
2. When you deifne the source file in LSMW step 7  take care to notify whether you have field names at start of file or the field order is same as
source structure .
This should close your issue or get in touch for more here buddy

  • Difference between .war file and .ear file

    Hi,
    what is the difference between .war file and .ear file ?
    Please let me know with appropriate explanation.

    War file means web application archive. It is archived file having a collection of JSP, servlets and static pages that together costitute a web application. It contains one WEB-INF directory which will have a file named web.xml which defines the structure of the web application.
    On the other side EAR file is Enterprise application archive. It is file having packaged content of one or more modules into a single archive so that the deployment of all the modules can be done simultaneously on the application server. It also contains XML files called deployment descriptors which gives the details of the deployment method. This deployment descriptor will be present in the folder META-INF folder.
    So the main difference betwwen the two is that Ear file is having collection of various modules to be deployed on the application server while the WAR file is used to deploy the web applications.

  • Difference between jar file and package?

    What is difference between a package and jar?
    Is a jar a package? or is package jar?
    If I say
    package pink;
    does it mean pink is folder or jar?
    what if I say import pink.rose;
    does it import jar file with the rose class inside it?

    These two concepts are unrelated. A jar file is nothing more than a zip file of class files and other related resources, which you can use to 'bundle' your application for ease of deployment. Th use of zip files is not mandatory.
    Packages on the other hand, are a means of 'packaging' parts of an application or library in their own namespace, generally for reasons program structure, and to avoid naming collisions. A bunch of classes in a package will be compiled into a bunch of class files, on a one-to-onwe basis (one file per class).
    You may chose to 'bundle' those and other classes into a jar file.

  • Difference between importing files and adding files/folders to liabrary?

    When I want to bring in new music into my liabrary from my my music folder, I don't know the difference between importing them and adding a file. They both seem to bring up the my music folder and seem to give me the same options?

    To quote from the following link:
    "When you add something to the library, essentially you are taking existing audio or movie files and adding an entry for each to your iTunes Library index. iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."
    "The Import menu item allows you to import playlists and other data files into iTunes."

  • Difference between page file and swap space

    Hello friends
    What is difference between swap space and page file???
    I set the page file to 0 MB(No page file) but when I use Everest Software it show 1023 MB swap Space.Is there difference between them?

    Swapping meaning data in and out from memory ie. primary to secondary. Paging is also the same thing, but its mostly used nowadays as virtual memory is based on pages. So, its like pages in and out. Swap space the memory used for swapping entire processes
    from system memory into the swapfile. Where as paging transfers the pages to page file when the memory is almost full.
    Regarding Everest, I think you should check with the supplier.

  • Difference between .mov files and .dv files?

    I am normally a FCP 4.5 user but I just got the new Macbook Pro and need to capture some footage this weekend using iMovie. Is there any difference between the .mov files we capture with FCP and the .dv files captured with iMovie as far as compression or quality?
    I've looked and looked but can't find the answer. Thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi there. can you explain this a bit more ?
    "you can scrub audio over a .dv clip in a sequence"
    and explain why the .dv video is so doggy in fcp hd?
    so,you CAN NOT convert .dv to fcp - right? or .mov to fcp?- right
    Here is my experience with iMovie, .dv files and
    FCP.
    iMovie can be useful, because it breaks DV clips up,
    and handles time code breaks - by ignoring them!
    I had canon camera, which if I captured with FCP, the
    audio would drift over the hour capture - it was over
    a second out by the end of the tape, so I used iMovie
    instead.
    Dropping .dv files into DV FCP sequences does not
    require a video render or transcode - the original
    image quality is maintained, but will require an
    audio render to stop the audio 'beeping' during play
    back - it seems an arbitrary limitation to me, you
    can scrub audio over a .dv clip in a sequence, and
    you can play audio when the .dv file is in the
    viewer, but not from a sequence.
    Then - it gets more annoying - every edit you do,
    typically requires a re-render of the audio, if you
    don't want the beeping, but there are two tricks
    that can help: 1) make a sequence for each .dv clip,
    unedited, render the audio in that sequence, then
    edit that into the master sequence, or 2) use
    'extract audio' in iMovie, then find the .aiff in the
    Media folder, and replace the .dv sourced audio with
    that in the FCP timeline.
    There is no re-capture, as Shane says, you have to
    stay on disc forever, or risk having to tweak and
    re-trim your project, if you hope iMovie will create
    the same files on a future capture - I have never
    tested that, my guess would be no.
    Most of the folks on the board will dismiss such a
    workflow - and with good cause - but its not totally
    useless, in certain circumstances.
    I have not tried this with the iMovie in iLife '06 -
    so your mileage may vary. Ideally, the beeping audio
    from .dv would be fixed in FCP - I understand it is
    harder to extract and play from a .dv file, but we
    have fairly powerful machines, these days, and,
    iMovie seems to manage just fine
    Good luck!
    iMovie was what got me into Macs in the first place,
    and after my first 'home movie editing appliance'
    (also known as an iMac G3) I started to do less and
    less on PC's, and have not tried to edit video on one
    since.

  • Difference between bad file and discard  file

    Hello everyone, My oracle database is 10g.
    Can any one tell me the difference between badfile and discardfile.(SQL Loader Concepts)

    The Bad File
    The bad file contains records that were rejected, either by SQL*Loader or by the Oracle database. If you do not specify a bad file and there are rejected records, then SQL*Loader automatically creates one. It will have the same name as the data file, with a.bad extension. Some of the possible reasons for rejection are discussed in the next sections.
    The Discard File
    As SQL*Loader executes, it may create a file called the discard file. This file is created only when it is needed, and only if you have specified that a discard file should be enabled. The discard file contains records that were filtered out of the load because they did not match any record-selection criteria specified in the control file.
    The discard file therefore contains records that were not inserted into any table in the database. You can specify the maximum number of such records that the discard file can accept. Data written to any database table is not written to the discard file.

  • Difference between image file and .bin file

    I want to know whats the difference between img and bin file and which is better

    Functionally and generically, they are the same thing for devices like routers and switches and firewalls ...
    Some "images" consist of more than one binary file ... like code for specific blades or modules (like a radio module on an AP).
    In most cases, it's just a naming convention and they are the same.
    For some systems, like computers, a binary file is an executable ... it gets loaded into some flavor of memory, usually RAM, and the instructions are executed. During the initial load, some code is typically executed to initialize the various sub-systems. All of this initialization takes time (think about booting a desktop or laptop computer from power-on to "ready-to-go").
    One way to speed things up a little is to save the initialized environment as an "image" or snapshot of the "ready-to-go" state of the device.
    Once the snapshot is saved, it can be loaded directly into a block of memory without the need of all of the initialization code or interpretation of the binary code. This tends to make things "boot" faster. As long as the system's hardware configuration hasn't changed since the snapshot / image was taken, it should be exactly as if the device was never turned off. Some desktop and laptops have a "hibernate" mode .. everything is powered down, but it boots up as fast as the snapshot image can be pushed into the memory from the hard drive.
    If you have a specific example, post it up.
    Good Luck

  • Behaviour differences between  war file and exploded directory

    Hi,
    I'm baffled by differences in how my web app behaves when deploy in a war file and when deployed in exploded directory.
    Firstly when I deploy in exploded directory format (using wldeploy in ant) - the jsps do not precompile. However, when I deploy the war file - again using ant and wldeploy - precompile works just fine - and general performance seems better.
    Secondly - the webapp has a pdf file - which is used as a template to dynamically produce a document. When deployed
    in exploded format - the webapp works fine and is able to read the pdf. However, when I deploy in war file, the pdf cannot be read.
    Surely the behaviour should be the same whether we deploy as a war or exploded.
    Someone please help
    Tariq

    Some behaviors will be different between a WAR file deployment and an exploded WAR deployment.
    With respect to JSP precompile, you just say "they do not precompile", so I can't tell anything about that.
    When you read files from an exploded WAR, you can reference them in two ways: as a resource, or as an absolute file path. When you read files from a WAR file, you can only read files as a resource, and not as an absolute file path. You're not giving any information about how you're reading the file, so I can't tell about that either.
    You'd have to provide more detail to get better answers.

  • What is difference between UNIX file and DOS file for SAX parser?

    i have the following XML file:

    <strTask><![CDATA[some
    data on
    multiple lines]]></strTask>

    If i save it as Unix file, than SAX parser works correctly and characters() function works only once per strTask tag.
    But if i save the file in DOS mode, then SAX calls characters() function every time new line is encountered during the same strTask tag.
    what can be a clue?

  • What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

    what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
    as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
    when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
    This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
    is my understanding till here correct?
    Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
    can redo-log files not store this information?
    in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
    kindly clarify my doubt.
    thank you.

    This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
    Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
    BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
    Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
    The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
    Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
    Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
    I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

  • File format differences between Illustrator CS2 and CS3

    Does anyone know the difference between the file format of Adobe Illustrator CS2 and CS3? Is there a document that documents this? Can someone send a link? The reason I am asking is that I have written a plug-in which saves the current CS3 document back down to CS2 so that users who are still using Adobe Illustrator CS2 can open it. However, if the same document is opened by a CS3 user, what objects, constructs or data structures are likely to be lost because the file has be converted down to CS2? Most things seem to be retained and I have yet to find a problem but if yo save manually from CS3 to CS2, Illustrator puts up a warning stating "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in". Does anyone have any more detail on this?
    Thank you

    There are new features in CS 3 as opposed t CS 2 and the text engine has been improved some what in CS 3. If you have text on a path that is say curved you are going to see a loss in the spacing and way it is oriented. fixed in CS 4.
    I forget some of the new features in CS 3 what was not a feature in CS 2 will be flattened when saved back.
    Or the feature will simply not be available.

  • What is the difference between save as: Page Source & Web Archive.

    Hello,
    what is the difference between save as: Page Source & Web Archive.
    I want to save web pages permanently regardless if the website itself remains permanent.
    What does a Page Source save and what does a Web Archive save.
    Which would be best for my intentions?
    Thanks.

    What does a Page Source save
    Only the HTML code of the page you're looking at.
    what does a Web Archive save.
    The HTML source plus all objects such as images the source references. You may want to use the print to PDF feature.
