Differences between MIC and Process control

Hi
Could someone please let me know what are the major differences between MIC and process control 2.5.
I have heard that Process control 2.0 is not being used now.
So could you please let me know what the differences for MIC and Process control 2.5.
Regards
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
the major differences are:
- automated controls (SAP and non-SAP systems)
- UI interface based on NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)
- flexibility on scheduling assessments and tests based on control attributes
- configurable reports and extraction to either .pdf or .xls
- possibility to se configure workflow to send reminders and escalations
- integration with Access Control 5.3, RAR component
- concept of service providers allowing controls to be referenced between different organizations (former MIC orgunit)
- assessments based on surveys (questions to be answered)
- effectiveness tests based on test plan (both tests and steps)

Difference between ALV and Table control

Hi folks,
i want to know the major differences between AlV and table controls.
i know that table control is designed in screen painter, but i want to know the major diff between Table control and ALV.
helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
<b>ALV is Application List viewer:-</b>
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
<b>TABLE CONTROL:-</b>
ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.
Rewards if useful.

Difference between STATIC and FLOW CONTROL in IKM

Hello,
Can someone explain the difference between STATIC and FLOW control in IKM ? What is the best situation to use them with some example ?
Can we have more than one ODI Constraint at the target table.
Thanks
Edited by: cdmnagaraj on 19-Oct-2008 21:59

Hi Nagaraj,
Suppose your Lookup table -> column "VALUE" is 101.
How many rows in your source table (column) have "Balance" = 101 ??
I hope only One.
From your Source table all the recors will be moved to your I$ . then from your I$ it will check for the condition
and all the violated records will be moved to your E$
please check your "Insert CK Errors" from your operator
it will be like this....
insert into E$_TargetTable
     ERR_TYPE,
     ERR_MESS,
     CHECK_DATE,
     ORIGIN,
     CONS_NAME,
     CONS_TYPE,
     col1,
     col2,
     balance
select
     'F',
     sysdate,
     '(3367100)TESTPROJECTS.TestTable',
     'conditionTest',
     'CK',
     col1,
     col2,
     balance
from     I$_TargetTable CHI
where     not      (
          Balance = (Select value from LOOKUP)
So in your case it will check for balance not equal to 101 . and it will push those records into your E$ table

Difference between Thread and Process

Hi!
I was googling about this subject, and I found this old thread on google: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580508&messageID=2939031
My specific doubt is: can one thread inside in a process affect other thread inside in other process?
But, actually, the terms thread and process are not clear for me yet. I don't know what is the exact difference yet.

> If I start a JVM, and Microsoft Word, and a web
browser, that's three processes. A process is an
OS-level construct.
Threads refer to concurrent execution paths withina
given process. Just like multiple processes canrun
in parallel within the OS, so can multiple threads
run in parallel within a process.
That's exactly what I understood. So, I suppose that
a thread in a process cannot affect other thread in
other process, can it?Not at the Java language level.
I mean, the wait( ), notify(
), etc, methods do not make sense if you consider
threads of different process, right?Right. Those are just methods that you call on objects. The same rules apply to them as to other methods. Now, with RMI, it might be possible to call wait(), etc. on a remote object. I've never use RMI, but I don't think that actually works. If it does, I expect it would be in an RMI tutorial.
Indeed, very confusing. They could facilitate,
defining a clear distinction between thread and
process.Well, there is a distinction in their "interface," if you will. It's just that their implementations can overlap.
Kind of like how a List and a Set are different, but you could implement a Set by composing it with a List.

Difference between Computation and Process

Any Computation can also be implemented as a Process. Their "firing points" are also the same.
So, why do Computations exist at all?
Thanks

Vikas - I don't know but computations always fire before processes at any given firing point allowing processes to reference session state that may have been set by a computation at the same or earlier firing point. It's true though that a process can set session state as well, so a computation is just a special-purpose process with declarative attributes that allow for application or page items to be named as the object of the computation. But then a validation is merely a special-purpose process that does what it does. And a branch is a special-purpose process that does a URL redirect or something similar, and before there were report regions there were just processes...

Difference between Scheduled and released with respect to process chains

HI All,
I am Creating a cube in whcih I want to upload the current status of the process chain.
And the requirement is not to take those process chains whcih are scheduled and not released( only take those process chains whcih have status released)
for the same I dont know what is the difference between Scheduled and Released in respect of process Chains and also from whcih Database table I can get this information.
Please help.
Regards,
Ujjwal

Hi,
Job Status Scheduled means a job has been created and is ready to run but has not yet been triggered.
A release status means the created job has been triggered and is waiting for the opportunity to run. A job can be in released status when it is a periodic Job ( Where once the job is completed it goes to release status), when it is slated for future execution, or when there is a delay due to database overload.

What is the Difference Between Adapter and Proxy

Hi Master,
I want to know the Difference Between Adapters and Proxies.
And when we are using proxies and Adapters....
Regards,
SReddy

Adapters are part of the Adapter Framework. Adapters provide the technical connectivity to enable the integration of SAP and non-SAP applications through XIs Integration Engine.Again, Adapters are used for connectivity from and to external systems with XI that cannot communicate via proxies.Adapters are only required in SAP systems older than 6.20 and external systems.
Systems based on 6.20or higher can communicate directly with proxies.
The literal definition of a proxy is an object / process authorized to act for another; an agent or a substitute. In simpler terms, proxies in the XI context are objects used to encapsulate the creation (from a sender system) or parsing of XML (at a receiver system) as well as the communication with the relevant runtime components required to send or receive those messages.
Proxies are generated from Message Interface in IR.
The Proxy Runtime controls these objects / processes, and can itself be controlled by the applications it communicates with. The Proxy Runtime currently has the following components available: 1. ABAP Proxy Runtime Communication using XI or Web Services a. Web Service Runtime 2. Java Proxy Runtime Communication using XI (J2EE) The objects that the Proxy Runtime then controls are created via Proxy Generation, for both ABAP and Java. In the following sections a client proxy is used by an application to send messages outside of the system it resides in (normally to the IS in this context). Conversely, a server proxy is used by an application to receive messages from sources outside itself (again, normally the IS in this context).

Differences between rfc and ale/idoc.

hi ..
       will u please send the differences between rfc and ale/idoc's.

Hi,
Please reward with points if helpful................
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. There are three layers in ALE system: application services, distribution services, and communication services.
For communication services, ALE performs a Remote Function Call (RFC) using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. RFC is used to communicate between applications of different systems in the SAP environment includes connections between SAP systems as well as between SAP systems and non-SAP systems. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Means of creating and operating distributed applications.
The purpose of Application Line Enabling is to guarantee a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange with consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Application integration is achieved not via a central database, but via synchronous and asynchronous communication.
Application Link Enabling comprises the following three layers:
application services
distribution services
communication services
Two Development Models
     Distribution using BAPIs
     Distribution using Message type
The programming model "Distribution using message types" contains the definitions of message types and IDoc types and the ABAP code for processing inbound and outbound IDocs.
Defining message types and IDoc types:
If you want to create message type enhancements for master data distribution, you also have to create a new message type for each enhancement.
The ALE interface does not allow you to create different segment data for different IDoc types for the same message type.
Writing ABAP code:
         Outbound Processing
           Inbound Processing
You can find information on other ALE functions under:
                               Master Data Distribution
                              Communicating with Non-R/3 Systems
1. The Remote Function Call facility allows you to call an R/3 Function module on a remote machine.
2. To communicate between two R/3 Systems and also with an External System. External Application program also can call these function module for integration.
3. RFC or sRFC - Synchronous RFC
                 aRFC - Asynchronous RFC
                  tRFC - Transactional RFC
                  qRFC - Queued RFC (I.e. Serialization of tRFC)
Types of RFC Call
Synchronous
CALL FUNCTION Func Destination Dest
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION 'NONE' ...
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION BACK' ...
Asynchronous
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname
PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func

Differences between C350D and C350

Hello,
what is the differences between C350D and C350?
Thanks

Hi There,
C3x0D was designed as an outbound only box, the idea being that your internal servers would send mast amounts of mail to the C3x0D and we process and deliver.
The main differences are:
1: Multiple IP Interfaces
Deliver from 256 source addresses to minimise rate limiting issues
2: Configurable Source IP per destination
Nominate specific source IP for certain destinations
3: Virtual Gateways
10,000 Concurrent connections, delivery queue per destination
4: Domain Key signatures
Validate you are the trusted source of the mail
5: Destination Controls
Control delivery rates to suit ISP acceptance policies
6: Configurable Bounce profiles per destination
Customize retries and delay periods for differing destinations
7: Message and Content Filters
Apply disclaimers, unsubscribe information and tracking headers
8: Optional Sophos engine
Ensure clean mail only is sent
More information on the support portal regarding C350D, or messenger me and I will send you the pdf.

What is the difference between ALE and EDI

Hi,
Can any one please explain what is the difference between ALE and EDI ?
Thanks in advance.
Ramana

Hi Ramana
ALE: used to trnasfer IDOC with in the R3distributed system.
EDI: used to transfer IDOC from R3system to nonsap system
IDOCS:
IDOCS are intermediary documents which are like CARRIERS of the data
IDOCs are safe to transfer data, but less volume of data. User is not allowed to access (modify) the data like PSA. IDOCs have 3 parts.
1. Control Record - SOURCE & TARGET details,
EDI
EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE
are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to
deliver data to the receiving system.

Difference between ME58 and ME59

HI,
What is the difference between ME58 and ME59 transactions?

HI,
ME58 allows the user to pick assigned requisitions and manually convert them into POs. First you enter the criteria to select the purchase requisitions. These are then grouped by vendor (and contract). User manually selects a vendor to process. Select the order type, purchasing group etc., copy the requisition lines into the PO and save.
ME59 selects requisitions and lists the ones it was able to convert into POs.
There is a big difference on the level of control between the two transactions and businesses using ME59 should put a manual review step in if they are converting requisitions generated from MRP.
Reward Points if found helpfull..

Chandra Sekhar.

Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle

Hi,
Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
Thanks in advance
Rajani

HI,
Assessment:
Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
key.
n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
(secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
Distribution:
Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
on the totals record level.
n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

Activity System status: differences between u0093Openu0094 and u0093In processu0094 status

Dear Experts,
Whats the difference between Open and In process system status? In help.sap.com it: There are four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
In process: administrator is clearing up questions
But, how does the system assumes the In Process status ?? Ive tested business activities creation with different employees assigned and, when editing and saving the business activities with these BPs the system status does not change.
However, in other unknown situations the status system is changed to in Process.
Any ideas about the meaning of the In Process status? And when the business activity switches to that?
Thanks in advance,
Joao

Hi,
These four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
·        Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
·        In process: administrator is clearing up questions
·        Released: contract is complete and legal. Follow-up processes can be started (printing, billing, distribution, releases and so on)
·        Completed: All actions directly linked to contract are completed
·        Closed: all actions indirectly linked to the contract are closed (for example, from R/3: batch run to actual costs)
Each status having its own control at the configuration level. If you observe the following process you may understand the importance of various statuses.
For example in any transaction by default status would be Open. Once the transaction opened by the respective responsible person he will change the status as In Process, Once the assigned task is completed he will change the status as Completed.
Please notice the configuration settings in the following navigation path:
SPRO->IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Functions->Status Management-> Change Status Profile for User Status->Select Quotation->Double click on the different status. You can observe the difference.
Hope I convinced.
Best Regards,
Johnny.
