Differnce between DEV & CONS

Hi all,
I'm new to JDI. I have some basic doubts.
When a Track is created, the runtime systems that can be defined are DEV, CONS, QA and PROD.
My question is DEV & CONS same? In the CMS do I have to provide the same SDM port # and host name?
Can I just define DEV and then transport to QA? (do i really have to define CONS)
Can you please help me understand this,
Thanks in advance
Regards
Priya

Hello Priya,
1. Here are some good documents to start with Development Infrastructure:

2. DEV & CONS represent development and consolidation process. In CMS while configuring the runtime systems all the runtime systems may be different. So the deployment should happen on diferent systems. So the port number will be deployment port 5<instance number>18 of different J2EE.
3. I am not sure about your last question: "Can i just define DEV and transport it to QA". But i somehow feel this should be possible. One way of doing this is defining same runtime system for development and consolidation.

Performance problems between dev and prod

I run the same query with identical data and indexes, but one system takes a 0.01 seconds to run while the production system takes 1.0 seconds to run. TKprof for dev is:
Rows Row Source Operation
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID VAP_BANDVALUE
3 NESTED LOOPS
1 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS
41 NESTED LOOPS

26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (UNIQUE SCAN) OF 'SYS_C0018674' (INDEX (UNIQUE))
26000 INDEX MODE: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_BV1' (INDEX).The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.
Any ideas?

From DEV you show the Row Source Operations for the query. The column named "Rows" signifies the actual number of rows processed with each step.
From PROD you show the Execution Plan for the query; that is, tkprof was executed with the EXPLAIN option which generates the execution plan as of the time when tkprof was run. The "Rows" column in the Explain Plan output comes from the PLAN_TABLE.CARDINALITY, which represents an estimate by the CBO for the number of rows [expected to be] processed with each step.
So, if by <quote>The row count varies greatly</quote> you meant these "Rows" columns outputs then you're are comparing actuals from a database with estimates from another. Get the Row Source Operations from both.
"Identical data and indexes":
1. data may be the same, but it is not necessarily stored physically the same way.
2. Indexes being the same means their definitions are the same; again, physically they are not necessarily identical
In other words, data in PROD (the way it is stored on disk) may have evolved as a result of discrete deletes/updates/inserts ... in DEV it could be, for example, stored more compact if you took a copy of PROD and moved into DEV. So, the number of blocks for your segments will likely be different between PROD and DEV, the clustering factor for your indexes are likely different, etc ... things which could [and do] influence the CBO. The statistics may be different.
I guess what I'm saying is ... it is quite hard, if not outright impossible, to get two identical databases/instances/load ... hence, don't expect the executions to be 100% identical, even if you have "identical data and indexes". By all means compare between DEV and PROD (make sure you compare the same thing though) and use the observed differences as an indicator for further investigation ... don't chase the goal of 100% identical behavior.
Now, by all means look at that query taking 1 second in PROD ... I have only addressed <quote>The row count varies greatly. But it shouldn't as the data is the same.</quote>

What is CTS ? what is the role of CTS in between DEV and QAS?

hello, friend.
actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive. you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions. and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
"Hi,
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
Import sequence
It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
Incompleteness
It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
Transport workflow as a transport strategy
If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
Special transport workflow (mass transports)
You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
thanks. you have been most generous.
regards.

FB60 screen change layout different between DEV and PRD

Hi,
I'm having problem with transaction FB60. When i try to change the layout in PRD, in screen Edit System Setting, some of the field showing 0 length. For example in WBS element field, in DEV show length 24 but PRD show length 0. I try to compare the version but it is same (program & table structure - ACGL_ITEM). When I debug the program, found out that it will get the structure from sap internal c program call 'AB_GET_CX_DATA'. So, maybe this program version are different between DEV and PRD.
Anybody knows what is the cause of this problem? Or maybe somebody can tell me how to check sap internal c program.
Thank you very much.

Yes. FB60 is Enter Vendor Invoice. In this screen you can see a table with column such as GL Acct, Debit/Credit, Amount in DC, Cost Center and others. You can add or remove some of the field using Table Setting and create Screen Variant. My problem is, the length of WBS Element and Profit Center field is 0. How to change the length.
I already searched in forum but I only found how to create screen variant.
Thanks.

Consistency between dev and prod systems!!!!

Hi All,
I wuld like to check the consistency between Dev and Prod systems for all the Data model and other objects existing. I would like to do this sanity check to see whether the two systems are in sync. Are there any tools or transaction codes within SAP framework which can guide me in this direction.
Kind Regards,
Surya Tamada.

Hi Surya ,
First build whole data flow :
1 .Create Infoarea ,Infoobjects & Masterdata ,Infoproviders ,Infoobject Catelog under Infoarea,MetaData - Characteristics MeteData - Key Figures
2 DSOs ,Infocubes ,Infosets, Multiproviders ,Views in the development system ,Datasources for BW system,Flat File Datasources,Transformations
then get data from the se11 tables as per your requirement :
like RSDVCHA ,RSDBCHATR,RSDCUBEIOBJ,RSDICMULTIIOBJ etc and built view on it as per your requirement .
then built flat file data sources and transformation .
get all data downloaded to flat file in ur PC .In the same way from other system.
make flow from PC File Datasource -> DSO -> Infocube and build queries for different objects .load the downloaded files to them and then run query .
ex : query to compare cube will take cube name and systems name as input and compare objects .

Compare SPRO between DEV and QAs

Hi there,
I'm in GoLive eve and all consultants are desperate with the future problems.
Is there a way that I can compare the customizing (SPRO) between DEV and QAS or another system?
Thanks,
Dany Anderson
Edited by: Dany Anderson Alves on Mar 4, 2008 9:03 PM

Hi,
Use comparison tool in SCU0.
Select SAP Reference IMG and ssay compare.
This will show the differences if any.
You can also compare at component level.
cross system visibility should be maintained in SCC4 settings for the client

ChaRM configurtn-No network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD

hi Experts,
We are planning to implement solution manager for CHaRM configuration.
Our Landscape is something like this...
ECD(DEV)->EC1(QA1) and
EA2(QA2)->EAP(PRD)
we are not having any network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD. DEV and QA1 are in one network and QA2 and PRD are on other network.
DEV and QA1 are connected and QA2 and PRD are connected.
Now we need to implement ChaRM from Dev to PRD, so please suggest me how to implemet this. Whether this is possible or not? what different settings we have to do from standards.
It would be very great if you suggest us on this.
thanks
narpal

Hi Raghu,
we are moving the files (Co files and Data File) manually from QA1 to QA2.
We are runnning one batch proggram that moves the co file data file from QA1/DEV to one spefifyed folder/server/device.
And then from this device/folder to QA2 we are moveing manually.
Now same way whether we can move the files in case of ChaRM configuration? Please suggest?
thanks

Basic differnce between 000 and 001 clients.

what is the basic differnce between 000 and 001 clients?
why do we use client 000 as source client while client copy?

Hi Kumar
The basic difference between Client 000 and Client 001 is that Client 000 is client independent instace while Client 001 is Client dependent.
Client 000 is SAP source client while Client 001 doesn't exits for every installation.

Hi vijay,
u can get lot of information regarding PI and XI in sdn.There already exists a no. of thread.just search with keyword "XI 3.0 and PI 7.0" u can get a lot.
XI 3.0
1. J2Se adapter engine was replaced with J2EE Adapter Engine.
2. BPM was available from XI 3.0
3. Part of Netweaver 2004
PI 7.0
1XI renames as Process Integration
2.. Part of Netweaver 2004s.
3. Has all features of XI 3.0 and every SP of Pi 7.0 has a corresponding release for XI 3.0.
4. Runs on WAS 7.0 and has same features as XI 3,0
From functional point, there is no difference between XI3.0 and PI7.0. There are changes only wrt SP. For every SP release on PI7.0 a corresponding SP for XI3.0 is also released.
A comparision of the service packs in 2004 and 2004s;
in 2004 - in 2004s

Differnce between AT NEW AND ON CHANGE OF

Hi,
Differnce between AT NEW AND ON CHANGE OF
Iam waiting foryour reply
Thanks & Regards
Raja Sekhar.T

Hai Raja
check the following Documents
1. AT NEW f.
2. AT END OF f.
3. AT FIRST.
4. AT LAST.
5. AT fg.
Effect
In a LOOP which processes a dataset created with EXTRACT , you can use special control structures for control break processing. All these structures begin with AT and end with ENDAT . The sequence of statements which lies between them is then executed if a control break occurs.
You can use these key words for control break processing with extract datasets only if the active LOOP statement is proceesing an extract dataset.
The control level structure with extract datasets is dynamic. It corresponds exactly to the sort key of the extract dataset, i.e. to the order of fields in the field group HEADER by which the extract dataset was sorted .
At the end of a control group ( AT END OF , AT LAST ), there are two types of control level information between AT and ENDAT :
If the sort key of the extract dataset contains a non-numeric field h (particularly in the field group HEADER ), the field CNT(h) contains the number of control breaks in the (subordinate) control level h .
For extracted number fields g (see also ABAP/4 number types ), the fields SUM(g) contain the relevant control totals.
Notes
The fields CNT(h) and SUM(g) can only be addressed after they have been sorted. Otherwise, a runtime error may occur.
The fields CNT(h) and SUM(g) are filled with the relevant values for a control level at the end of each control group ( AT END OF , AT LAST ), not at the beginning ( AT FIRST , AT NEW ).
When calculating totals with SUM(g) , the system automatically chooses the maximum field sizes so that an overflow occurs only if the absolute value area limits are exceeded.
You can also use special control break control structures with LOOP s on internal tables.
Variant 1
AT NEW f.
Variant 2
AT END OF f.
Effect
f is a field from the field group HEADER . The enclosed sequence of statements is executed if
the field f occurs in the sort key of the extract dataset (and thus also in the field group HEADER ) and
the field f or a superior sort criterion has a different value in the current LOOP line than in the prceding ( AT NEW ) or subsequent ( AT END OF ) record of the extract dataset.
Example
DATA: NAME(30),
      SALES TYPE I.
FIELD-GROUPS: HEADER, INFOS.
INSERT: NAME INTO HEADER,
        SALES INTO INFOS.
LOOP.
AT NEW NAME.
    NEW-PAGE.
ENDAT.
AT END OF NAME.
    WRITE: / NAME, SUM(SALES).
ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
Notes
If the extract dataset is not sorted before processing with LOOP , no control level structure is defined and the statements following AT NEW or AT END OF are not executed.
Fields which stand at hex zero are ignored by the control break check with AT NEW or AT END OF . This corresponds to the behavior of the SORT statement, which always places unoccupied fields (i.e. fields which stand at hex zero) before all occupied fields when sorting extract datasets, regardless of whether the sort sequence is in ascending or descending order.
Variant 3
AT FIRST.
Variant 4
AT LAST.
Effect
Executes the relevant series of statements just once - either on the first loop pass (with AT FIRST ) or on the last loop pass (with AT LAST ).
Variant 5
AT fg.
Addition
... WITH fg1
Effect
This statement makes single record processing dependent on the type of extracted record.
The sequence of statements following AT fg are executed whenever the current LOOP record is created with EXTRACT fg (in other words: when the current record is a fg record).
Addition
... WITH fg1
Effect
Executes the sequence of statements belonging to AT fg WITH fg1 only if the record of the field group fg in the dataset is immediately followed by a record of the field group fg1 .
Basic form
ON CHANGE OF f.
Addition
... OR f1
Effect
Executes the processing block enclosed by the " ON CHANGE OF f " and " ENDON " statements whenever the contents of the field f change (control break processing).
Normally, you use the statement to manipulate database fields during GET events or SELECT / ENDSELECT processing.
Note
There are special control structures for processing control breaks in LOOP s on internal tables or extract datasets AT ).
ON CHANGE OF is unsuitable for recognizing control levels in loops of this type because it always creates a global auxiliary field which is used to check for changes. This global auxiliary field can only be changed in the relevant ON CHANGE OF statement. It is not reset when the processing goes into loops or subroutines, so unwanted effects can occur if the loop or subroutine is executed again. Also, since it is set to its initial value when created (like any other field), any ON CHANGE OF processing will be executed after the first test, unless the contents of the field concerned happen to be identical to the initial value.
Example
TABLES T100.
SELECT * FROM T100 WHERE SPRSL = SY-LANGU AND
                         MSGNR < '010'
                   ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY.
ON CHANGE OF T100-ARBGB.
    ULINE.
    WRITE: / '**', T100-ARBGB, '**'.
ENDON.
WRITE: / T100-MSGNR, T100-TEXT.
ENDSELECT.
Displays all messages with their numbers in the logon language, provided the number is less than '010'.
Each time the message class changes, it is output.
Addition
... OR f1
Effect
Also executes the code whenever the contents of the field f1 changes.
You can use this addition several times.
Example
Logical database F1S
TABLES: SPFLI, SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
GET SBOOK.
ON CHANGE OF SPFLI-CARRID   OR
               SPFLI-CONNID   OR
               SFLIGHT-FLDATE.
    ULINE.
    WRITE: /5 SPFLI-CARRID, SPFLI-CONNID,
            5 SFLIGHT-FLDATE, SPFLI-FLTIME,
            5 SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX, SFLIGHT-SEATSOCC.
ENDON.
WRITE: / SBOOK-CUSTOMID.
The code between ON CHANGE OF and ENDON is executed only if at least one of the fields SPFLI-CARRID , SPFLI-CONNID or SFLIGHT-FLDATE has changed, i.e. there is a different flight connection (which also has bookings).

Differnce between unicode and non unicode

Hi every body i want to differnce between unicode and non unicode and for what purposes this ulities are used explain me little brief what is t code for that , how to checj version, how to convert uni to non uni ?
Advance Thanks
Vishnuprasad.G

Hello Vishnu,
before Release 6.10, SAP software only used codes where every character is displayed by one byte, therefore character sets like these are also called single-byte codepages. However, every one of these character sets is only suitable for a limited number of languages.
Problems arise if you try to work with texts written in different incompatible character sets in one central system. If, for example, a system only has a West European character set, other characters cannot be correctly processed.
As of 6.10, to resolve these issues, SAP has introduced Unicode. Each character is generally mapped using 2 bytes and this offers a maximum of 65 536 bit combinations.
Thus, a Unicode-compatible ABAP program is one where all Unicode checks are in effect. Such programs return the same results in UC systems as in non-UC systems. To perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the "UC checks" flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
With TC: /nUCCHECH you can check a program set for a syntax errors in UC environment.
Bye,
Peter
