Differences Between Infopackage Groups and Process chains

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me what are the differences between Infopackage Groups and Process Chains ? And how process chains are more comfortable

hi nagarjuna,
An InfoPackage group is a collection of InfoPackages. In order to summarize data requests which logically belong together from a business point of view, and to therefore simplify the request, you can collect data requests (meaning the InfoPackages) into an InfoPackage Group. You can schedule each of these groups in the scheduler . With the data request the scheduler can access InfoPackage groups directly and thereby request more than one InfoPackage at a time, corresponding to the setting in the InfoPackage group. Thus, you can support InfoPackage groups with the serialization of your data requests.
While a process chain is a sequence of processes that wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can start other processes in turn. hit this link to know abt PCs:

Process chains are more comfortable becoz itz not like infopackages where we have to schedule each pack individually. And in PCs, monitoring is very convenient since u see evrything in a single page.

    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if you could assis me on how to convert an Infopackage group to a process chain? I am in RSA1OLD [in BI7], and i am trying to convert all Infopackage groups to process chains. If you could explain how to do it step-by-step it will be helpful. Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    1. Goto prcess chain maintenance screen (RSPC)
    2. Create new Process Chain
    3. Create variant for Start process (Give description and Tech. name).
    4. From process types select "Infopackage" and drag it to the process chain window.
    5. Select Infopackages used in Infopackage Group (one bu one)
    6. Link thes processes as per the execution sequence in Infopackage group.(Click on process and drag to the other process)
    7. Activate the process chain.

  • Difference between connection, session and process

    Hi all,
    Can anyone please update me on the difference between connection,session and process.
    Thanks in advance,
    - Sri

    I got this useful note by googled in net. It describes session,connection,process gracefully.
    A connection is a physical circuit between you and the database.A connection
    might be one of many types -- most popular begin DEDICATED server and SHARED
    server. Zero, one or more sessions may be established over a given connection
    to the database as show above with sqlplus. A process will be used by a session
    to execute statements. Sometimes there is a one to one relationship between
    CONNECTION->SESSION->PROCESS (eg: a normal dedicated server connection).
    Sometimes there is a one to many from connection to sessions (eg: like
    autotrace, one connection, two sessions, one process). A process does not have
    to be dedicated to a specific connection or session however, for example when
    using shared server (MTS), your SESSION will grab a process from a pool of
    processes in order to execute a statement. When the call is over, that process
    is released back to the pool of processes.

  • Infopackage groups to process chain conversion

    HI Gurus,
    I am doing Infopackage Groups to Process chain conversion by using procss chain maintanence icon in scheduler place of Info package group.If I am doing conversion I am getting all infopackages  as parallel manner. I need to make it as serial manner.Eagerly expecting your reply.

    HI shiva,
    Can you please clear about ur question:
    r u doing infopackage group for ur PC. How many groups u have created.
    Generaly if you prepare a batch for infopackages all will run in series( u have to give in proper manner while grouping).
    Let me know ur question clearly.

  • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHRASE GROUP AND PHRASE SET?

    WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHRASE GROUP AND PHRASE SET?

    Hi Ramya,
    Definition of a Phrase group is a number of phrases contained in a phrase library grouped according to logical criteria. A phrase can be assigned to only one phrase group.
    Phrase set is grouping of phrases for a purpose which includes allowed phrases for a value assignment type and Default phrases for a value assignment type. A phrase can be assigned to a number of phrase sets.

  • Difference between AP groups and HREAP or flexconnect

    Hi Experts ,
    Can anyone please tell me the difference between AP groups and HREAP functionality?
    Is the AP group for within one office location ? and Hreap is over WAN?
    Regards,
    Vijay.

    AP groups and H-REAP/FlexConnect are used differently.  AP Groups define what SSID's and WLAN to VLAN mapping (local mode) that ap's in the group will have.  H-REAP/FlexConnect group is only used when the ap's are in this mode and you define ap's that are close together in that group for fast roaming if using 802.1x.  If your only using pre-shared key or non-802.1x, then you really don't need to use H-REAP/FlexConnect groups.  You can have ap's in both ap groups or h-reap/flexconnect groups, that is why you need to understand what each does.
    FlexConnect Grups:

  • Difference between bridge-group and VLAN

    Hi all,
    I don't understand very well the difference between bridge-group and VLAN...
    Could someone explain me or give me a site which could help me?
    Thx U by advance!

    Khay
    bridge-group is used on a router to enable bridging on an interface. In terms of functionality a bridge-group is very similar to a VLAN. For example if you create bridge-group 1 and assign it to interfaces FastEthernet 1/0 and 2/0 and you create bridge-group 2 and assign it to interfaces FastEthernt 1/1 and 2/1 it is like creating 2 VLANs. Devices in bridge-group 1 (interfaces 1/0 and 2/0) can communicate with each other but not with devices in bridge-group 2 (intefaces 1/1 and 2/1).

  • Infopackage Group to Process Chain Conversion

    Dear Gurus,
    We are going to do BI upgradation,prrequisite for that we have to convert all Infopackage groups in to Process Chain.In our system totally we 600 Infopackage groups.Let me know the optimized and oraganized way to make a process chain conversion.Before the conversion process, what are the basic measurement (Like sequence,Grouping under process chain,Scheduling .Etc...) I have to do.Anticipate your respone eagerly.
    With regards
    Siva

    Hello Sivakumar,
    Try this Function Module RSPC_MIGRATE_INFOPACKAGE_GROUP , this should help you.
    You can also goto Process Chain Maintanance in the InfoPackage Group and create the Process Chain.
    If that doesn't then as a manual process, you have to note down all the InfoPackage sequence and include them in the Process Chain in the same order.
    Thanks

  • Converting infopackage groups to process chain!

    Hi,
    We are planning to go for upgradation in near future!
    i was asked to convert all infopacakges group schedules to a process chain schedules as infopackage groups are no longer supported in BI 7( ???? i do not why BI 7 would not support Infopacakge groups)
    Requirement now is to make process chains out of infopacakge groups
    i am little puzzeled of how to model process chain as there are too many infopacakges in groups and there are quite a lot of groups as well
    Any tips?
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    You can still do Info package groups through RSA1OLD. Info package groups are outdated
    1)  infopackage group you can only schedule infopackages. You would still need to do the other steps manually. Whereas in process chains you can schedule all the steps. In process chains, you can also specify complex rules like, start 6th infopackage only when 1st and 5th have completed.
    2) The disadvantage of Infopackage groups is that it is outdated and there won't any new features in them. So let us say that you wanted to implement a data loading logic which can be done by process chains, it might be too late as you would have created a lot of IP Groups by that time. infopackage group..scope is limited to just infopackage..that too they run one-by-one..not in parallel..
    infopakge groups if any info package fails we need to trigger all the loads
    manualy .where as in Process chains just correct that particular ipak and repeat from that particular process .it will take care abt remaing subsequent chains .
    And also we can trigger parallel loads as well in this. Its much user friendly in
    monitoring.
    Dont worry about modelling . All the related Info Packages will be in one group. You need to see the flow and Design such that have info package and then DTP. and see if many data targets have same data source.then you can have only one infopackage and filtering through many DTP's.

  • Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

    Hello,
    I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
    From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
    However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
    The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
    Please refer the below link for more clarity.

    The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.

  • Difference between material group and external material group

    Hi,
    Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
    Thanks

    Hi Raghunandan,
    Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
    Material groups are Extensively useful during :
    Limit the Scope of Analysis
    Reporting Purpose
    External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
    In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material  which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
    In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

  • Difference between MRP group and plant parameters

    hai friends,
    please let me know, what is the main difference between the MRP group and plant parameters?,
    what are the extra activities or features with one, when compare to the other?.
    Edited by: Mourya.v on Sep 22, 2010 6:36 AM

    Dear Mourya,
    Why to assign MRP group? - If planning for each plant is not specific enough for your purposes and you would like to assign
    control parameters that differ from the control parameters defined for the plant to certain material groups.
    1.For all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters that is the settings present in OPPQ, or the
    entries in the initial screen of the planning run.
    2.For all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group that is the settings in OPPR.
    3.The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of
    materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want
    to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are
    defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
    4.The MRP group, groups material from the material requirements planning point of view to allocate them control parameters for
    planning.The control parameters include the strategy group, the planning horizon and the creation indicator for the planning run.
