Difference between SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and Open data set mechanism

Can you please help me to know the difference between moving a file using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" and moving file using "open data set - transfer file- close data set" mechanism?

Through 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' u can execute a External command (ie.. UNIX /Windows/OS/400) In ABAP programming..
for Conversion Of Aplication server File/Move the file from one directory to Other...
The Command must be present in SM69.
Using this function module'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' , you can check the authorization of a user to execute a particular external command and run the command:
With the arguments specified in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS
On the target host system defined by OPERATINGSYSTEM and TARGETSYSTEM
If an SAP profile parameter is inserted in the portion of the command stored in the database, then the value of this parameter is substituted into the command. If an SAP application server is active on the target system (TARGETSYSTEM), then the profile parameter values are read from the profile that is active on that system. No parameter substitution is made in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS.
After substitution, the command is checked for the presence of "dangerous" characters such as the semicolon ( ; ) on UNIX systems.
If an additional "security function module" is specified in the command definition, this function module is also called in the course of processingebenfalls. This function module can prevent execution of the command.
If the authorization checks complete successfully, the command is run on the target host system.
Through Open Data Set u can read and write the file in the same directory...
Thnaks,
SD

Difference between 0FI_AP_30 and 0FI_AP_4 Data source

HI,
What is the difference between 0FI_AP_30 and 0FI_AP_4 Data source.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In addition to above differences. Below is the functional difference between 0FI_AP_30 & 0FI_AP_4:
0FI_AP_4 gives you accounts payable line items in your report. Here GL account shows the balances of particular types of vendors/payables to which that particular GL account is been assigned.
And If subledger is activated in ECC, then by using 0FI_AP_30 you can get the break up of that particular GL balance according to vendors.
To make use of datasource 0FI_AP_30, subledger accounting must be activated in ECC.

Difference between passive and active data connection mode for FTP

Hi,
Does any body have the idea of passive and active data connection mode for the transport protocol FTP.
I have one server with FTP, I have to pick the data from this FTP to XI.
What is the difference between active and passive data connection? Does XI supports both the connections?
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan Reddy

Hi
According to SAP Note - 821267
Q: Does the File Adapter support active data connections when connecting to an FTP server?
A: Up to and including SP14, the File Adapter exclusively uses passive data connections. Starting with SP15, active connections will be available.
Difference between active and passive,
You can definitely refer to the site mentioned by Suraj

Answer the following question regarding GUI_UPLOAD and Open Data Set

1. whats the connection or relationship of S_GUI to GUI_UPLOAD?
2. GUI_UPLOAD saves files to local directory of a use while OPEN DATA SET saves/archives files in the server directory. Where is the risk directed towards consuming disk space? Server disk or workstation disk space?
3. how will this work for multiple files?
4. Regarding Open Data Set - How the files will be put in AL11?

The GUI_DOWNLOAD only download the file to local PC...so any abap code running in other pc will not able to use the file.
BUt if you use open dataset to load the file APPLICATION server any ABAP pogram can access the file.
Following code explains how you load file using open data setto appl server,
you can check in t-code AL11 for files/dir in applicatin server.
you to change the value of myfile variable in my code..
you have to give the full path of the dirctory.

Difference between Model and Open MBeans?

Hey all,
does somebody know what the difference is between an Open ManagedBean and an Model ManagedBean?
Thanks a lot!
theKeymaker

Hey,
I've already read the specification of JMX, so also
the chapter about Model and Open MBeans, but I don't
get the point when I'd have to use a Open and a Model
MBean.
What's the real difference between them?
Thanx!
Hi,
The "real" difference is that Open MBeans are restricted to using data types that are portable to any Java /JMX client. This allows management applications to immediately make use of MBeans without
recompilation, re-assembly, or dynamic linking.
hope this answers your question,

Difference between master and transaction data

whts the difference and relaionship between master data and transaction data?why do we need to upload or extract both type of data's?cant we have only transaction data?please clarify

Hi ,
Master Data :
The data which do not change frequently and that is needed generally for many reporting .
Eg : Customer Name , Customer Address Etcc..
Transaction Data :
This the data that is derived based on some master data
Eg : Creating a sales order for a Customer . So the transaction data will be
 Customer Number , Order Quantity .
Why we keep master data as seperate in BW ?
Because master data is general , So we have to use that master data in many cubes for reporting purpose . Because for any report on Customer we need to give cutomer name , So we keep that master data outside of cube so that any cubes that need to use customer master can take that , So we can concentrate on other dimensions for cube ,Other wise we need to include customer name in all cubes which is reppetitive .
So the best method is to ....
First Load master Data
Then load Transactio data .
In the Bex part we combine the master data with transaction data so that we get combined data .
Eg :
Master Data : Customer No , Cust Name , Cust Address
Tran Data : Customer No , SD No , Order Qty .
We first load the master data into master data tables /BI0/M*
Then we load tarnsaction data into Cubes .
Then in BEX Reporting we create query for Transaction Cube , But fetch some master data using Bex feature , So the report output will be
Cust No CustName CustomerAddress SD no Order Quantity
Hope this Solves your Problem

Difference between Gmail and Exchange when setting up email

Hi all,
When adding my Gmail email details in Settings in iOS7 (Via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account) I’m presented with the options to use Exchange or Google.
I know back in the early days of the iOS it was always preferable to use Exchange as it synced everything on your phone perfectly (mail, contacts, calendar) but it seems that now the Google option is just as good…?
Other than the capability to push emails to my device (a function that I don't use anyway), is there any other difference between the Exchange and Google options when setting up email?
Thanks,
David

I've tested it out on my iOS7 5s; the calendar and contact syncing seems to work absolutely fine though?
This was in reference to the Google option. It syncs mail, calendar, contacts and notes all absolutely fine as far as I can see - I wanted to check I wasn't missing anything.
Any need to get narky there?

What's the difference between Infospokes and Open Hub Destination in BI 7?

I understand the API that a 3rd party tool uses to get data our of BW using infospokes. Is it the same API that a 3rd party tools such as MS-SSIS uses? Supposedly that software only communicates with an OH Destination and not Infospokes. So apparently is does use a different API. If that's the case, where can I find documentation on that API for OH Destintations?

Open Hub Destination (OHD) replaced InfoSpokes as of BI 7 SPS 6, for Open Hub Service. Existing InfoSpokes can be used still, but it's recommended that any new retractions be created as an Open Hub Desitnation, because it exposes more functionality (e.g. Transformations and functionalities with DTPs).
Here's a document on [Open Hub Service - 3rd Party Integration|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/icc/bw-ohs%20open%20hub%20service%2c%20third-party%20integration.pdf] (see Page 7). Hope this helps.

Differences between Linux and Solaris command set

Hi,
It is complicated to learn Solaris? Is the set of commands the same of Linux?
It is because is more simple for me to find a Linux Admin book than a Solaris book.
Thanks.
Lorenzo

BTW: You might want to start with this peace if information:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/whitepapers/linux/linux_overview.pdf
One remark: this Blue/white paper is written for audience known to Solaris and new to Linux, but usefull the other way around.
Specially table 1 is very usefull !
Good luck, and Welcome as new Solaris Administrator.

Difference between cleared items,open items and all postings (FI).

Hi experts,
Can anybody tell me the difference between cleared items,open items and all postings for an account.
While running corresponding bapis and transaction FAGLL03 (for GL) or FBL1N (for accounts payable) i found that in some cases all postings is less than cleared items or open items for a time period. How could it happen.According to my knowledge all postings should contain cleared items and open items.
Please correct me..
Thanks and Regards
Arjun

Hi Arjun,
For every Billing Documnet created(VBRK/VBRP-VBELN) there will be an accounting document created in BSID/BSAD tables.
OPEN ITEMS means the Billed/Invoice Amounts that are pending from Customers, i.e which we have to receive from Customers.
CLOSED ITEMS means the AMOUNTS received from that customer.
OPEN ITEMS : fetch data from BSID table Only
CLOSED ITEMS : fetch data from BSAD only.
ALL POSTINGS : fetch data from both BSID and BSAD.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Nitin.
