Differences between BW-EP6.0 and BW-EP7.0 Integration

Are there any differences?
Regards,
Fth

Hi,
You are speaking about BW versions or portal versions? if you are talking about the latter one then there are lot of differences and the major is the use of usage types.Usage types determine the role which a system plays in a given  scenario. it represent the capabilities offered by a collection of installed and configured software components. You ca nalso say, SAP NetWeaver 2004s is the SAP Business Suite edition of SAP NetWeaver 2004.
If you are looking for EP differences then kindly update the thread accordingly.

  • Difference between unit testing and integration testing

    What is the difference between unit testing and integration testing in SAP? Is unit testing takes place in Dev client and integration testing takes place in QA system?
    Please clarify
    thanks

    Hello Krishen,
    unit testing means veryfiingsmall / the smallet pieces of software, while integration testing checks the overall functionality of applications. Within the AS ABAP the tool ECATT + manual tests is used for integration tests and the ABAP Unit language integration for unit testing.
    When, Who, Where tests are carried out is ultimately a personal decision. As unit tests are operate even under heavy development they are often the first choice for developers, but the unit tests can also serve for regression tests over a long period. Integration tests tend too be created and executed in later stages as they require often a certain majurity of the software under test.
    Beside the mentioned links you may check out ABAP Unit infos also in the Wiki.

  • Architectural differences between Ep5.0 and Ep6.0

    Hi Expert,
    Is there any document that specifies the differences in the EP5.0 and EP6.0 architecture.
    It seems that the only difference is just the switch framework containing the extension set and Industry Solution extension...it looks very strange!
    Have you any idea about other differencies?
    Many thanks in advance
    Fabio

    Hi Fabio,
    The difference between EP5 & EP6 is that there is no PDK beneath  EP. The "PDK" for EP6 is a business package (a role with some content) to import into EP6. From there, you can upload components (PAR files), delete them etc., and you have the doc's that you know from PDK 5.0.
    There is also a different Eclipse plugin.
    Portal components for EP5 and EP6 differ in many points, for example there is a xml deployment descriptor in EP6 where in EP5 you had the profile property files.
    Also some APIs have changed.
    But you can import EP5 par files into Eclipse with the EP6 plugin.

  • Difference between NetWeaver 2004 and NetWeaver 7.0 or 7.1

    I am little confused and curious to know the recent changes happening in SAP.
    Can you please tell me the differences between NetWeaver 2004 and NetWeaver 7.0 or 7.1
    NetWeaver 2004 is named because SAP has released it in 2004
    and then we have XI 3.0, XI.7.0(that is PI right) , EP6.0 etc as individual components have different versions released in NewtWeaver suite.
    But what is this NetWeaver 7.0.
    We have EE5 or ECC6 and WebAs 6.4 or GUI 6.4 or recently GUI 7.o or WebAs 7.0.
    How does all these differe, is individual component of NetWeaver upgraded with higher versions or total NetWever is upgraded with a higher version.
    Can any one please tell me the exact difference between versions.
    If some one has ECC6 installed in their environment does it mean that they have Netwaver components like XI, EP, MDM.. etc are installed or its only R/3, BI etc...
    How it works exactly?
    Thanks,
    Kiran.

  • What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

    HI Friends
    What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
    What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
    Regards

    Hi,
    SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
    Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
    The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
    These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
    To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle – from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

  • Difference between inbound delivery and Goods Receipt

    Can any one explain difference between inbound delivery and goods Receipt??

    Hi dear,
    Inbound delivery is one confirmation used to indicate the expected goods receipts in advance, so that the related process partners like warehouse personnel , planning personnel can utilise this data for initiation of actions and planning. Also , we can make this confirmation relevant to Planning in the customisation, to enhance the performance.
    In general , we need confirmations only as a kind of assurance/information , in absence of the goods.
    But if the goods are received physically , obviously we do not need any confirmations , we would perform the goods receipt .
    When working with Inbound delivery , the goods receipt is done with respect to specific inbound delivery( though not compulsary to do so) , so that the integration done in the system works to the advantage of the users.

  • Difference between Drilldown report and Interactive report

    There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
    With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
    You can produce both simple, data-directed lists (basic reports) and complex, formatted lists in drilldown reporting (form reports).
    Drilldown report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data. For example, you can jump to the next level of detail or the next report object on the same level, hide individual levels and switch between the detail and drilldown lists. It also provides a number of additional functions which let you process lists interactively (sorting, conditions, ranking lists, and so on). SAP Graphics, SAPmail and the Excel List Viewer are also integrated into drilldown reporting.
    The drilldown functions are divided into three groups which differ in the number of functions available. That way each user can choose the functional level most suited for his requirements.
    In addition to the online functions for displaying reports, drilldown reporting also provides functions which let you print reports. A number of formatting functions are available to let you determine the look of your printed reports (page breaks, headers and footers, underscores, and so on).
    The menus and the functions available directly on the drilldown report make it easy to use the information system.
    What is an Interactive Report?
    An interactive report generally works in the following fashion:
    1. Basic list is displayed.
    2. User double clicks on any valid line
        or
        User selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar.
    3. The corresponding event is triggered
    4. Then in the code, the line on which action was done, is read.
    5. Depending on the values in that selected line, a secondary list is displayed.
    6. Steps from 2-5 are repeated till the end.
    From the above explanation, I believe, its clear that, the 20th list, will essentially depend on the "selected line" of 19th list. According to your question, you want to move to 20th list directly, without "a prior list". May I know the exact requirement so that, an appropriate solution can be suggested? 
    Again, your question was, how to move to 20th list directly on pressing of execute button. Its not possible to move to 20th list. You must cross over a basic list, before you can go to a different list level, using the code given by Pavan. 
    What are Drilldown reports?
    The lines of basic list of a drilldown report when clicked, will take the user to the corresponding (standard) object's display.
    For eg: Suppose your report's primary component is purchase requisition, (assume you are printing PR details), and the basic list displays details of many PRs.
    Eg: when clicked on a particular line of the PR basic list, it takes you to std t-code me53 (display of purchase requisition). This is the 'Drill-down' functionality.
    For this, in the at-line selection of your program, as per the above ex: you'll set the parameter ID of PR number BAN (that you can get from Data element) in memory (using set parameter id) and then calling the corresponding transaction (usually skipping initial screen of the std t-code).   
    Likewise, if it's Material Number (Matnr), you'll be displaying MM03 transaction w.r.t. the line's matnr.

  • Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

    Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

    From
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
    NUMBER Datatype
    The NUMBER datatype stores zero as well as positive and negative fixed numbers with absolute values from 1.0 x 10-130 to (but not including) 1.0 x 10126. If you specify an arithmetic expression whose value has an absolute value greater than or equal to 1.0 x 10126, then Oracle returns an error. Each NUMBER value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
    Specify a fixed-point number using the following form:
    NUMBER(p,s)
    where:
    p is the precision, or the total number of significant decimal digits, where the most significant digit is the left-most nonzero digit, and the least significant digit is the right-most known digit. Oracle guarantees the portability of numbers with precision of up to 20 base-100 digits, which is equivalent to 39 or 40 decimal digits depending on the position of the decimal point.
    s is the scale, or the number of digits from the decimal point to the least significant digit. The scale can range from -84 to 127.
    Positive scale is the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point to and including the least significant digit.
    Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the decimal point, to but not including the least significant digit. For negative scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point, because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the left of the decimal point. For example, a specification of (10,-2) means to round to hundreds.
    Scale can be greater than precision, most commonly when e notation is used. When scale is greater than precision, the precision specifies the maximum number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, a column defined as NUMBER(4,5) requires a zero for the first digit after the decimal point and rounds all values past the fifth digit after the decimal point.
    It is good practice to specify the scale and precision of a fixed-point number column for extra integrity checking on input. Specifying scale and precision does not force all values to a fixed length. If a value exceeds the precision, then Oracle returns an error. If a value exceeds the scale, then Oracle rounds it.
    Specify an integer using the following form:
    NUMBER(p)
    This represents a fixed-point number with precision p and scale 0 and is equivalent to NUMBER(p,0).
    Specify a floating-point number using the following form:
    NUMBER
    The absence of precision and scale designators specifies the maximum range and precision for an Oracle number.
    And
    2
    NUMBER[(precision [, scale]])
    Number having precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38. The scale s can range from -84 to 127

  • Differences between bapi's and bdc

    Hi Frendz,
    What are the most imp differences between BAPI's and BDC ?
    Points for sure...
    Thanks in advance
    Vijaya

    Hi Vijaya,
    A few inputs from net
    BAPI is used only when it is available for the particular  transaction like Delivery Sales order. but BDC can be used for any 
    transaction which have screen and fields.
    BAPI is directly updated the database instead BDC run through the screen flow.
    So BAPI can't handle all the flow logic checking and enhancement put by programmer to faciliate the user requirement.
    BAPI is a higher end usage for tranfering the data from SAP to non-SAP and vice-versa. for ex: if we are using VB application,where in that we want to connect to SAP and retireve the data,and then change and update the data in SAP for that purpose we can use that.
    Apart from that, we can also use it for Uploading/Downloading the data from SAP to Non-SAP like BDC, provided we have an existing  BAPI for that. 
    BAPI function modules will also do all the checks required for data integrity like Transactions for BDC.
    There is one more advantage using BAPI instead of BDC.
    When we go for upgradation, there might be pozzibility to change the screen elements for transactions depending on the requirement. In that case,our BDC pgm may or may not work (depending on the screen changes they have made). Unless and until we prepare new BDC we cant use the old BDC pgm. But in BAPI, SAP promises that they are going to keep the old BAPI and for new functionality they will provide an upgraded BAPI. Until we write a new BAPI pgm, we can use the exisitng BAPI pgm.

  • Differences between B2B IPCUI and CU50 IPCUI?

    Dear all.
    We have SAP ERP 6.0 installed with integrated IPC in VMC running. On another box we have NW 7 with E-Commerce 5.0 and TREX 7.0 and MS ISS 7.5 running.
    We have two scenarios:
    Scenario 1: http://host:port/b2b/b2b/init.do
    After a logon a shop list appears. After going into a shop, navigating through the catalog and choosing a configurable product, the IPC UI gets displayed.
    Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50
    After choosing the same configurable material as in scenario 1 and running it through the IPC, the IPC UI gets displayed.
    The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T.
    But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
    My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
    Or is there maybe a difference?
    What I also do not understand is:
    Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
    One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
    Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
    Thanks and regards
    Stefan

    Your Scenario 1: uses IPC-SCE (Configuration Engine) for runtime configuration of a configurable product. This uses the IPC as the runtime engine for configuring the product. The IPC UI (along with appropriate Java application) helps you render the design and get your input.
    Your Scenario 2: SAP Gui transaction CU50  uses the classical Variant Configuration LO-VC module of the SAP R/3 (ECC 6.0) system. The SAPGUI Variant configuration screens don't use IPC at any instance.
    The IPC UI via CU50 shows correctly status ligths as configured through XCM parameter appearance.showstatuslights=T. But the IPC UI in the B2B does not show the status lights, but the texts.
    It is very likely that you are seeing the default behavior of CU50 set elsewhere. Try changing the XCM setting and see if CU50 display property changes.
    My assumption is that both scenarios are using the same IPC UI.
    Not correct.
    See more detailed functional differences between IPC-SCE and LO-VC at this link Comparison of SCE and R/3 Variant Configuration.
    Why do I have XCM configuration for IPC two times?
    One "Internet pricing and configurator" in ../ipc/admin/xcm and another "IPC" in ../b2b/admin/xcm
    Technically they are  two different applications for use in different contexts. ../ipc/ for both design time and runtime of product configuration. This is what actually controls the IPC UI appearance in the web. The ipc component in the ../b2b/ application is for picking up the right configuration type that is defined in XCM of the _ipc application _.
    Maybe this is a silly question, but I haven´t found any solution nor answers to these issues and questions after long investigations.
    Probably, this was "intuitive" by SAP standards, so they don't have any documentation for developers who don't work in SAP.....
    (1) Define a custom configurations for application configuration  isab2b and isacatalog in ipc/XCM.
    (2) After making changes to ipc application (XCM) for UI settings, you have to restart the ipc application.
    (3) Define custom component for application component ipcdefaul in b2b/XCM
    (4) In the place of isab2b and isacatalog, input the names of the custom configurations you defined in ipc/XCM
    (5) Restart the b2b application.
    Hope this helps...

  • What are all difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus.

    hi all ,
    Apart from SCA concept , storing location
    is thr any other difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus ?
    thx in advance..

    11g introduces the SCA architecture for building the service infrastructure.
    SOA 11g uses:-
    1. Uses the weblogic Server and BEA Aqualogic Service Bus (ALSB) for the Oracle Service Bus.
    2. BPEL uses scalable DOM with reduced memory usage.
    3. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA)
    4. BAM finally ported from .Net to J2EE and is part of the service infrastructure
    5. Oracle Web Services Management built into SOA 11g service infrastructure
    6. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA). Tighter integration with E-Business Suite & large payload support.
    7. Business Rules in SOA 10g business rules are managed using the Rules Author & in SOA 11g business rules are managed using JDeveloper and SOA composer

  • Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

    Hi all,
    What are disadvantages of Smart form in SAP ,
    What is difference between Smart Forms and Adobe interactive Form.
    I heard from someone that in future Adobe interactive Form will repalce smart forms. Is it true or not
    Best Regards
    Srikanth

    Hi,
    Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
    SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
    There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
    SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
    <b>Online Interactive Forms</b>
    A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
    As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
    <b>Offline Interactive Forms</b>
    The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
    The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
    <b>With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:</b>
    Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
    Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
    Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
    Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
    Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
    The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the <b>integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.</b> This integration means that adobe is the future technology.

  • Whats the actual difference between Business system and Business service

    whats the actual difference between Business system and Business service

    Business System
    1) Business system is a logical system, and there is an importance on physical existence of the system.
    2) Also SLD entry is required.
    3)It is generally used for SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.
    4)This is defined as part of the SLD and is a physical system whose parameters are well defined.
    5(Business systems refers to the physical systems, for instance the R/3 system. You define the business systems in the SLD
    Business Service
    1) You use a Business Service, when you do not have the System details of the the partner system to which you want to communicate. i.e. you have not configured the partner system in SLD.
    2) Business Service is an Absract Unit with Sender and Receiver Interfaces,In this case you need to explicitly add the message interfaces while doing configuration in ID.
    3) It is generally used for NON-SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.
    4) This is not defined as part of SLD and whose technical parameters are not completely known.
    5)Business service is used when the message is not addressed to a business system. It is used mostly in B2B scenarios.

  • Difference between business area and sales area

    Hi
    I am swetha i have one doubt
    1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
    2)  what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
    3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.
    Regards
    Swetha

    Hii..
    Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
    A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
    There are 2 options here now -
    1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
    or
    2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
    The advantages of using the second option is:
    1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
    2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
    3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
    The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business
    Areas...
    Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
    Hope this clears.
