Difference betwwen sandbox and IDES

HI all,
Can Anybody please tell me whait s the difference betwwen sandbox and IDES.
Please use the subject effectively
Edited by: Lakshmipathi on Sep 1, 2009 6:46 PM

Hi Radheshyam,
Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the servers or some may even call it the architecture of the servers viz. SAP is divided into three different lanscape DEV, QAS and PROD.
- DEV would have multiple clients for ex: 190- Sandbox, 100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.
- QAS may again have mutiple clients for ex: 300- Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.
- PROD may have something like a 200 Production.
These names and numbers are the implementer's discreet on how they want it or they have been using in their previous implementations or how is the client's business scenario.
Now whatever you do in the Sandbox doesn't affect the other servers or clients. Whenever you think you are satisfied with your configuration and you think you can use it moving forward, you RE-DO it in the golden client (remember, this is a very neat and clean client and you cannot use it for rough usage). As you re-do everything that you had thought was important and usable, you get a transport request pop up upon saving everytime. You save it under a transport request and give your description to it. Thus the configuration is transported to the Unit Test client (180 in this example).
You don't run any transaction or even use the SAP Easy Access screen on the 100 (golden) client. This is a configuration only client. Now upon a successful tranport by the Basis guy, you have all the configuration in the Testing client, just as it is in the Golden client. The configuration remains in sync between these two clients.
But in the Testing client you can not even access SPRO (Display IMG) screen. It's a transaction only client where you perform the unit test. Upon a satisfactory unit test, you move the good configuration to the next SERVER (DEV). The incorrect or unsatisfactory configuration is corrected in Golden (may again as well be practised in the sandbox prior to Golden) and accordingly transported back to 180 (Unit Test) until the unit test affected by that particular config is satisfactory.
The Golden client remains the 'database' (if you wanna call it that) or you may rather call it the 'ultimate' reference client for all the good, complete and final configuration that is being used in the implementation.
In summary:
Landscape : is the arrangement for the servers
IDES : is purely for education purpose and is NOT INCLUDED in the landscape.
DEVELOPMENT ---> QUALITY -
> PRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT : is where the the consultants do the customization as per the company's requirement.
QUALITY : is where the core team members and other members test the customization.
PRODUCTION : is where the live data of the company is recorded.
A request will flow from Dev->Qual->Prod and not backwards.
1. Sandbox server: In the initial stages of any implementation project, You are given a sandbox server where you do all the configuration/customization as per the companies business process.
2. Development Server: - Once the BBP gets signed off, the configuration is done is development server and saved in workbench requests, to be transported to Production server.
3. Production Server: This is the last/ most refined client where the user will work after project GO LIVE. Any changes/ new develpoment is done is development client and the request is transported to production.
These three are landscape of any Company. They organised their office in these three way. Developer develop their program in Development server and then transport it to test server. In testing server tester check/test the program and then transport it to Production Server. Later it will deploy to client from production server.
Presentaion Server- Where SAP GUI have.
Application Server - Where SAP Installed.
Database Server - Where Database installed.
What is the meaning of "R" in R/3 systems?
R/3 stands for realtime three tier architecture. This is the kind of architrecture SAP R/3 system has.
R/3 means three layers are installed in Different system/server and they are connected with each other.
1) Presentation
2) Application
3) Database
Why do we call client 000 as golden client?
Golden client contains all the configuration data and master data so some extent. All the configuration settings are done in golden clients and then moved to other clients. Hence this client acts as a master record for all transaction settings, hence the name "Golden Client".
Thanks,

What is difference betwwen aggregates and compression in bi 7.0.

hi All,
will you please tell me difference between compression and aggregates in bi.

Dear Ganesh,
Aggregates allow you to improve the performance of BI queries when data is read from an InfoCube. The data of a BI InfoCube is saved in relational aggregates in an aggregated form. Relational aggregates are useful if you want to improve the performance of one or more specific BI queries, or specifically improve the performance of reporting on characteristic hierarchies
Compression is phenomenon where all the contents of ur info cube moves from F to E table,,This is called compression and data will be aggregated when this compression happens..
Why do we do compression..??
When you load data into the InfoCube, entire requests can be added at the same time. Each of these requests has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the package dimension. This makes it possible to pay particular attention to individual requests. One advantage of the request ID concept is that you can subsequently delete complete requests from the InfoCube.
However, the request ID concept can also cause the same data record (where all characteristics are the same except the request ID) to appear more than once in the fact table. This unnecessarily increases the volume of data and affects system performance when you analyze data, since each time you execute a query, the system has to perform aggregation using the request ID.
You can eliminate these disadvantages by compressing data and bringing data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).

Difference betwwen script and smartforms

plzzzzzzzzzz difference between script and smartforms

SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s, while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap, there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. Client dependence is a fundamental one. Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time, its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively ...
1. script is client dependent one while smartform is client independent.
2. In scripts we have to write print program while in smart forms it is not necessary.
3. In scripts we can print background logo while in smartforms we cant print background logo
4. In scripts we have 99 main windows while in smartforms we have only 1 main window.
5. In scripts we should write paragraph format otherwise we cant execute program while in smartforms no need to create paragraph formats .
6. In scripts we can print the text in only two character formats.
while in smartforms we can do with more.
7. In scripts we dont have line types while in smartforms we have linetypes.

difference between smartforms and scripts
Diff betwen Scripts & smartforms
advantages of smartforms over scripts
the main diffarences between smart form and script form are:
1) smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.
2) smart form require half the time to create and maintain forms compare with
script.
3) smart forms provide multiple page formats where as in script not possible
4) smart forms exisist without main window also where as in script not possible.
5) smart form is entairely graphical user interface comapre with script.
6) labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.
7) smart form genarate function module whenver it activate where as script
doesn't genarate.
8) smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare
with script.
9) using smart forms we can design web forms but bot possible with script.
10) we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not
possible.
11) in smart form we use transaction codes SMARTFORM for designing FORM
and SMARTSTYLES to create differnt styles of text, where as in script we
use SE71 for form painter and SE72 for different styles of text and font.
12) we can migrate script to smart form vice-versa is not possible.

Whats the difference betwwen Pop and Imap?

What is the difference between a POP and an IMAP email account, are there benefits of using one rather than the other?

Hi
POP means mail is downloaded from the Mail Server to your mac and is stored locally. Downside to this is if your hard drive was to fail and you have not kept up-to-date backups or have not bothered to back up at all you lose all your mail. If this does not bother you then there is no down side.
IMAP means mail is not downloaded from the Mail Server and everything is stored on the Mail Server itself. Generally speaking most mail servers have redundancy built in are administered by a dedicated IT team and if you were to lose any mail odds are it would be recoverable. Other benefits are you should be able to access your mail (send & receive) from pretty much anywhere you like. All you need is 3 bits of information and access to a computer (any platform) that has access to the internet and a web browser.
I've kept this as simple as possible but that's about it in a nutshell.

Difference betwwen jaas and realm

hi
i would like to add jaas to my web application
i have a confusion between jaas and realm
can anyone tell me what difference between this two technologies

This is less or more Servlet related. In the future, please use the [Servlet forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=33] for this kind of question to get better response.
To the point: JAAS (Java Authentication & Authorization Service) is authentication framework at Java SE level. Realm is an abstract layer between the webapplication and several ways of authentication so that you can easily switch between the authentication types/frameworks for the case that. JAAS is one of them.

Difference betwwen system and system alais

Hi All,
What is the System Object and System alias ?
Why can'y we access the system object with out system alias what is the reason for creating system alias for system object ?
In ESS configuration he is asking to create 3 to 4 system objects with different system aliases. Why can't we create single system object and assign all three system aliases to that object?
Thanks and Regards,
Phanikumar.

> Hi All,
>
> What is the System Object and System alias ?
A system object is a Portal Object that represents the backed system by means of sprecifying the system ID, client number, WebAs URL etc. The runtime uses this to call the call backend transactions/RFC's using JCo.
>
> Why can'y we access the system object with out system

> for system object ?
The system is known to the outside world viz. iViews etc through its alias. Its like a Name for your system. You can have more than one alias for your system just like many people may call u by different names.
>
> In ESS configuration he is asking to create 3 to 4

> can't we create single system object and assign all

The reason behind this is that the ESS objects e.g. ITS iviews, Transactions WD iviews etc have in their System refernce different aliases. SO to allow these applications to execute we need to have that many aliases iplying creating that many systems.

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

Difference between SAP ECC IDES 6.0 and SAP NetWeaver?

Hello everyone!
I am a bit confused since I am also new to SAP world, so I would to ask you, we have a SAP IDES ECC 6.0 in our server here to our company, I was trying to see a little of SAPUI5 and in a tutorial a guy was using SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer.
1- But, what's the difference between the SAP IDES ECC 6.0 and SAP NetWeaver?
2- What are the other parts I am missing? Are there any other IDES or such a thing around those terms?
3- How can I get installed SAP NetWeaver?
4- I have also got some info about SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP MM, SAP BW.. And those?
5- What are they in term of software/patch/ide/plugin/addon... ?
Please, I really need an overview in order to make all the things clear in my mind,
Thank you!
Denis

Hi Denis,
SAP is a big umbrella where lot of products are developed and made to use in various industry solution like Engineering, Chemical, Retail, Oil & Gas. I used the term Solution to relate SAP application to these solutions.
SAP NW is comprised of following components SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA, PI_BASIS and SAP_BW. In totality we refer this as NW stack.
SAP application will have underlying database like Oracle, DB2, MSSQL or MaxDB where actual business data is stored.

What is their difference betwwen Sun ONE Application Server and J2EE serv

Sun ONE Application Server is Sun implementation of J2EE server.
But it seems even no Sun ONE Application Server, use J2EE SDK command
j2ee -verbose
we still can launch an Application Server that support EJB, JSP....
what is their difference betwwen Sun ONE Application Server and J2EE server provided by J2EE SDK ?
Thanks,

Sun ONE generally refers to the Sun ONE Application Server version 7.x. This is a J2EE 1.3 compliant application server from Sun. Sun also released a Reference Implementation version (RI) as a requirement of the J2ee 1.3 spec. This is the J2EE server you are refering too. The Sun ONE Application Server 7 is a more robust production ready App Server.
Going forward, Sun combined the 2 seperate groups to include just 1 release. The J2EE 1.4 Reference Implementation is the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition version 8. SJS AS 8 PE is both free and production ready. Other version will include High Availability, Managing and Monitoring features.

What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

Hi!
What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!
Edited by: user13278245 on Sep 15, 2010 4:34 AM

Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
+ I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

Difference between logical and virtual terms

Hello,
This is not purely oracle question; but in documentation so many times we find 2 terms:
A. Logical
B.Virtual.
So what is the principle difference between logical and virtual? As I know physical is that which I can see and touch; while logical/virtual is that is imaginary. We say tablespace is logical not virtual; while Java Virtual Machine; not Java Logical Machine. So I want to know; what is the principle difference; why two words for an imaginary thing. Before posting question; I searched in google as “Difference between virtual and logical” but I couldn’t found the answer.
Please quote your comments.
Thanks & Kind Regards
Girish Sharma

Girish,
I wont say that I am correcting you as this is like that half glass full/empty thing.May be what I see is half empty , you would see the same as half full.
Well now coming to the explanation.I am saying honestly , I got more confused after reading your definitions.What do you mean by saing that tablespace is not virtual.I see it as purely virtual.We don't say it as virtual tablespace or logical tablespace but it is actualy logical/virtual, having no existance but just the definition right?
How can you say that the size of virtual is larger than logcial?The size of tablespace is actualy the sum total of size of datafiles.So it actualy becomes very larger right?Much larger than JVM which is of few megs only.
The point 3 totally knocked me out.I have no idea what you said.
Ok I tell you this.Just remember the definition that Hans gave already.If you ask me than its the best definition that we can have. Just remember this and if some one asks you more further than give them your point 3 definition and tell them understand this ;-).Please don'tmind I am just kidding. Its just semantics.Don't get lost into it.You will find many people using both the terms interchangibly. So its ok.I shall stick with Hans's defintion,simple and concise.There are lot more other topics to dig upon in oracle.I can mail you lots of them.Spend time on those.Don't think that I am demotivating you.I understand you asked only because you have a doubt.But we got a good resolution of it and beyond that, its not of much use to dig it atleast not in the technial terms.

Difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD

hi
let me know the difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD and giv me clear idea of wat and wat not should be done with respect to conversion from download to gui_Download??????
give me clear process of putting my download data into my own defined file name .. during manual and backgrnd job. process..
thanks inadvance

Hi Shaik,
DOWNLOAD function module is obsolete now and DOWNLOAD as well as WS_DOWNLOAD should be replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
The only matter you need to be careful off is mapping the parameters correctly.
Also, you have asked "during manual and backgrnd job. process.. " , well GUI_DOWNLOAD or any download module for downloading to Presentation server CANNOT be used in the background.
Because background work processes are run on application server level and do not have access to the desktop of any PS.
For downloading to the presentation server essentially, pass the contents of internal table to DATA_TAB tables parameter and pass the presentation server file name to FILENAME importing parameter.
Cheers,
Aditya

Difference Between BAPI And RFC in ABAP

Hi,
i want to know difference between BAPI and RFC in SAP,
can we call SAP GUI screen from NON SAP System Using BAPI.
Reg,
Hariharan

Hi Ravishankar,
The difference is not importat while you understand the concept.
I think, RFC is the protocol for calling functions from external systems in R/3.
I understand like BAPI a series of complet functions that SAP offers you for use and model a business use.
But if I need program a function that can be called for external system i would call it RFC_NAME, because is a unique function that makes a single task.
In other words, the difference i think is about work idea more than another thing.
RFC
A remote function call is a call to a function module running in a system different from the caller's. The remote function can also be called from within the same system (as a remote call).
RFC consists of two interfaces : A calling interface for ABAP Programs and a calling interface for Non-SAP programs.
The RFC Interface takes care of :-
- Converting all parameter data to the representation needed in the remote system
Calling the communication routines needed to talk to the remote system.
Handling communications errors, and notifying the caller, if desired ( using EXCEPTIONS paramater of the CALL FUNCTION).
BAPI
BAPIs are standardized programming interfaces (methods) enabling external applications to access business processes and data in the R/3 System.
BAPIs provide stable and standardized methods to achieve seamless integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.
BAPIs are defined in the BOR(Business object repository) as methods of SAP business object types that carry out specific business functions.
BAPIs are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
The most critical difference btwn BAPI and FM is that BAPI can be wrapped in Business objects whereas RFC cant.
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

What's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh battery?

Hi,
I was looking for a new battery for my MacBook Aluminum Unibody (Late 2008) and found that there are 45Wh and 54Wh battery. So what's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh one at the same capacity? Will the 54Wh one offer a longer usage-time?
Thanks,
