Differences between BW3.5 and BW7.0 Realtime Data Acquisition

Hi,
Could any one explain me clearly the differences between BW3.5 and BW7.0 for Realtime Data Acquisition and also steps for creating it in BW7.0.
Eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance
Anan

You have to create tranformation in between your DSO and datasource.
If u have not done init of delta earlier, create Standard DTP and schedule init load.
If you did already, create or convert(if standard DTP already exists) Real time DTP. Now create infopckage with realtime field enable, and follow the steps of my blog on demanon from here onwards.

Difference Between 0CREATED_ON and Today's date

Hi Experts,
I am new to BW and I have to accomplish the following requirement.
We have a characteristic 0CREATED_ON and when the report is run we need to calculate the difference between today's date and 0CREATED_ON. Can you please advice on the best possible way to achieve the same. If it could be broken into the logical steps, it would be a great help!!
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards
PG

Hi Piyush,
When you create the query make sure that characteristic Created on is in rows . Select all other characteristics and keyfigures in your query as per your requirement. Now
Step 1. Create a formula variable by replacement path on Created_on lets say FVCRON .
Step2. Activate the business content variable "Formula Variable for Current Calendar Day - 0F_ADAY " . If it is already active you should be able to see in your formula variable list.
Step3. create a Calculated Keyfigure 0F_ADAY - FVCRON .
If you need individual steps on how to create formula variable or to activate business content variable or how to create a variable using customer exit let me know.

FTPS settings Difference between control and control with data

Hi guys,
Just a very quick question please. When doing FTPS there are two options
1) control
2) control with data
Can anyone explain what's the difference between the two?
regards

Hi,
FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection
The FTP control connection is protected using TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer). File transfer is unencrypted.
FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control and Data Connection
All communication with the FTP server is encrypted and uses TLS/SSL.

Difference between Replication and Activation of Data Sources

Hi,
I would like to know what exactly happens when data sources are replicated and when data souces are activated
Regards,
Visali.G.

Once you make the replicate of DS at BW, what ever the struc. for that DS would be regenarated, and accordingly your extraction and setup table struc. would get updated by the latest changes made in the DS.
At the BW side all corresponding communication and transfer structure and PSA structure would also get generated according to the DS struct. per R/3
Need of Replication in other terms we can say
Replication needs to be done is each time you save you datasource in R/3. This causes the timestamp of the datasource to be changed and hence the timestamp of the datasource in R/3 and BW are not in sync. Replication would make the timestamp in sync in both R/3 and BW.
Hence you would notice the error "Timestamp error" when you do not replicate the datasource after changing it.
Activating the data source, activating the structure and make available the dat source to use.

Difference between sapscripts and BDCs

what is the difference between sapscripts and BDCs

BDC for data communication between sap to non sap(vice-versa)
where scripts is a business layout(we create)
<b>bdc help</b>
They are the only 3 methods mostly we use in BDC.
Call _Dialog is outdated. it is there in the intial stages of SAP.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
For BDC:

Difference between BW3.5 and BI 7.0 version

difference between BW3.5 and BI 7.0 version

Hi ,
Differences between BW 3.5 and BI 7.0
Major Differences between Sap Bw 3.5 & sapBI 7.0 version:
1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.
7. The Data Warehousing Workbench replaces the Administrator Workbench.
8. Functional enhancements have been made for the DataStore object:
New type of DataStore object
Enhanced settings for performance optimization of DataStore objects.
9. The transformation replaces the transfer and update rules.
10. New authorization objects have been added
11. Remodeling of InfoProviders supports you in Information
Lifecycle Management.
12 The Data Source:
There is a new object concept for the Data Source.
Options for direct access to data have been enhanced.
From BI, remote activation of Data Sources is possible in SAP source systems.
13.There are functional changes to the Persistent Staging Area (PSA).
14.BI supports real-time data acquisition.
15 SAP BW is now known formally as BI (part of NetWeaver 2004s). It implements the Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW). The new features/ Major differences include:
a) Renamed ODS as DataStore.
b) Inclusion of Write-optmized DataStore which does not have any change log and the requests do need any activation
c) Unification of Transfer and Update rules
d) Introduction of "end routine" and "Expert Routine"
e) Push of XML data into BI system (into PSA) without Service API or Delta Queue
f) Intoduction of BI accelerator that significantly improves the performance.
g) Load through PSA has become a must. I am not too sure about this. It looks like we would not have the option to bypass the PSA Yes,
16. Load through PSA has become a mandatory. You can't skip this, and also there is no IDoc transfer method in BI 7.0. DTP (Data Transfer Process) replaced the Transfer and Update rules. Also in the Transformation now we can do "Start Routine, Expert Routine and End Routine". during data load.
New features in BI 7 compared to earlier versions:
i. New data flow capabilities such as Data Transfer Process (DTP), Real time data Acquisition (RDA).
ii. Enhanced and Graphical transformation capabilities such as Drag and Relate options.
iii. One level of Transformation. This replaces the Transfer Rules and Update Rules
iv. Performance optimization includes new BI Accelerator feature.
v. User management (includes new concept for analysis authorizations) for more flexible BI end user authorizations.

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.

Differences between archiving and inactivating a qualitative lookup within the Data Admin toolkit.

Hi,
Can you please let me know what could be the difference between archiving and Inactivating the Qualitative Lookup in Data Admin Tool Kit.
Thanks,
Rohini M

When you inactive or archive something it is no longer available for selection.   The difference between inactive and archive is that inactive items will still appear available for searching purposes while archive items will not.
So lets say you have the following:
List A
   - Item 1
   - Item 2
List Items
If you were to inactivate Item 1, end users would no longer see it available for selection when using the qualitative extended attribute. However when they search for specs based on the extended attribute they would still be able to select Item 1 so they could find objects that used that value. If you were to archive Item 1, end users should no longer see it available for selection anywhere - including searching.
Lists
If you were to inactive or archive the entire List A, you would no longer see it available for selection when setting up qualitative lookup extended attributes.   I don't think there is anywhere you can search for extended attributes by lookup list currently out of the box so these would act similar. If there was a place to search for extended attributes by lookup list then it would follow the same rules as above.

What is the difference between olap and data warehouse..?

Hi All,
Is their any difference between olap and data warehouse..? Please let me know your knowledge about these. Thank you..
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please mark it as complete, if you get the solution with this reply. TQ.

A data warehouse is a database containing data that usually represents the business history of an organization. This historical data is used for analysis. Data in a data warehouse is organized to support analysis rather than to process real-time transactions
as in online transaction processing systems (OLTP).
OLAP technology enables data warehouses to be used effectively for online analysis, providing rapid responses to iterative complex analytical queries. OLAP's multidimensional data model and data aggregation techniques organize and summarize large amounts
of data so it can be evaluated quickly using online analysis and graphical tools.

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

Reg: Authorisation difference between BW3.5 & BI 7

Hi All,
Please update the security differences between BW3.5 & BI 7.
Regards,
Venu

Dear Venugopal
Iu2019m going to try help you regarding your question,
The authorization perspective of 3.X is focused in the authorization object, thatu2019s means that each user needs a group of authorization object to use the BW system, they are grouped in roles. Each authorization object have a specific function, it is to control object access and data access. The control access is defined for each component of BW as InfoObject, InfoProvider, InfoCube, DSO, OHD, Query, BEx Analyzer, BEx application designer, Enterprise Portal, ect. The other is data control access is defined for a set of characteristics relevant of authorization, created in the tcode RSSM where you set up an authorization object.
The main difference of version 3.X between 7.X is the set up data access. The tcode RSSM was obsoleted and they have released the new tcode RSECADMIN where you can handling whole authorization system, in these tcode you can access to analysis authorization maintence (new concept), instead of reporting authorization object.
In summary, the strong chancing in the BI 7.0 has been in the data access authorization, with the new concept analysis authorization.
Other hand, regarding object access there are a some new functionality as portal, open hub destination that are incorporated new authorization object.
I hope these comments help you about your question,
Luis

What is the difference between lap and oltp

HI experts, I want to know the difference between OLAP and OLTP and why OLTP cannot be used in bw instead of OLAP? Need realtime anwsers please!!!!!!!!!!

hi navin...
Online transactional processing (OLTP) is designed to efficiently process high volumes of transactions, instantly recording business events (such as a sales invoice payment) and reflecting changes as they occur.
Online analytical processing (OLAP) is designed for analysis and decision support, allowing exploration of often hidden relationships in large amounts of data by providing unlimited views of multiple relationships at any cross-section of defined business dimensions.
OLTP databases are typically input sources for data warehouses or data marts. The data warehouse in turn is the typical source of data for an OLAP database. The value in an OLAP database is that many complex calculations and predefined queries are preprocessed and results are stored and are available via an OLAP exploitation application allowing quick access to cross-sections of business data. Rapid access to the aggregate information across defined business dimensions allows quick navigation and understanding of relationships.
The challenge is to find a solution that will both supply the necessary functionality while addressing the technical considerations of your organization. Some other important considerations include choosing technologies that can leverage existing investments in both hardware and software, and are open and integrated so that your applications are adaptable. This ensures flexibility and agility to meet future business demands.
There are several different modeling techniques. Snowflake and star schemas are just two of many choices. Deciding the best approach for your situation will depend on several factors, most importantly understanding the business issue, the users and their information needs. There is a wealth of information available, including courses, texts and guidelines on this subject alone
OLAP systems organize data in a multidimensional model that is suitable for decision support. OLAP is the analytical counterpart of OLTP, or Online Transactional Processing. SAP's BW is an OLAP system

The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).

What is the difference between APL and UAFL?

Hi There,
Can someone please tell me the difference between APL and UAFL?
As per my understanding APL stands for Automated Predictive Analysis and these are the set of algorithms which SAP inherited with the acquisition of KXEN and APL is enabled from SP9 onwards.
So what is the difference between APL and UAFL?
Can someone answer this?
Regards,
Arjun

Dear Arjun,
the main differences beetween AFL and APL are coming from the A of APL: Automated.
Both AFL and APL can be used the same way (integrated into application), but the APL are Automated algorithms that are coming from InfiniteInsight technology. They give you the opportunity to perform advanced classification, clustering, regression, etc... without deep knowledge in predictive algorithm or data enconding as well. On the contrary, using AFL requires that you choose the right algorithm for answering your question, then set the specific parameters for that particular algorithm (ie: you now the algorithm and how to play with), you have to encode by yourself all the existing variable into the numerical space and handle by yourself binning, banding, missing values and outliers. All those mandatory steps are done Automatically using the APL algorithms.
Kind regards,
Gaëtan.
