Differnece between Infotypes n Tables !!

Hi All,
1. Why SAP introduced Infotypes.
2. why SAP HR module using infotypes mostly.
3. Any drawbacks using transparent tables
4. Ht diff. bw Infotypes n transparent tables
Thanks,
Senthil

Hi,
Infotype is like a structure.It has no contents.For each infotype,there should be a table.It should have the contents for that infotype.
For ex...for p0001 infotype structure,pa0001 is the database table.
An infotype represents a group of related data fields, provide information structure, facilitates data entry, and allows time dependent storage. In other words we can say infotypes are information units used to enter the time dependent data of the employee.
Master data in HR is stored in infotypes. Each infotype pertains to a specific type of data.
Each infotype has a database table associated with it.
For example, these are the frequently used infotypes.
      -Actions: Infotype 0000 stores all actions for an employee.
      -Org Assignment: 0001 stores all information on employees Organization
       Specific status
      -Personnel Data: 0002 stores all information on name, birth date, *** etc.
      -Basic Pay: 0008 stores all information on pay for employee.
For each employee, there can be many records stored in each infotype,
each with a start and end date.
All infotypes to be processed in the report are listed in the ABAP
INFOTYPES keyword.
The database usually contains several records with different validity
   periods and not just one record for each infotype and personnel
   number. Infotypes are time-dependent since their data changes over
   time. For this reason, one structure or work are would not suffice for
   the provision of infotype data in the main memory.
Therefore the INFOTYPES statement is used to create an internal table
for each of the listed infotypes. The structure of this table corresponds
to that of the relevant infotype.
Check this link for some info. on infotypes.

Differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?

What is the differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
are they same?

Tables :
1. The place where the data is stored so that you can retrieve at any time.
2. There can be more than one record stored
Structures :
1. The data / info stays only during the runtime of the application and will not get stored at all during the run time ....
2. Only one record can be stored at the runtime .....
A structure forms the skeleton of the table.
A structure comprises components i.e., fields. Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth
Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.

Bridge Table between two fact tables

Hello everybody,
From what I have read on the BI Administration tool help and on this forum, bridge tables are used to define many-to-many relations between dimension sand fact tables. Is it possible to have a bridge table defining a many-to-many relation between two fact tables?
Here is my senario:
1. We have a fact table called fact_Orders describing orders for some products.
2. We have a fact table called fact_Sales describing sales og these products.
3. We have a table describing the transformation from order lines to sales lines which is a many-to-many relation, because it is possible to transform an order in more than two steps.
I was thinking of connecting the two fact tables with a bridge table.
If bridge tables are inappropriate for this case, what could be a better model for my senario?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Well a conformed dimension is a bridge table between two facts, so not sure why you need anything else. If there is a one to many from D1 to F1 and a one to many from D1 to F2 then effectively there is a many to many join from F1 to F2 through the D1 dimension.
Sounds to me like all you need is an order dimension table, rows in the orders fact table will join to this dimension and so will rows in the sales fact table. You can then do calculations like number of sales per order, total sales revenue per order, # of order items per order etc etc.

Matt

Multiple 'logical joins' between a fact table and one dimension table

It appears that one cannot create multiple ‘logical joins’ between a fact table and one dimension table in OBIEE using the Oracle BI Administration Tool. For example, considering a Business Model with a dimension table TIMES and a fact table FACT containing START_TIME and END_TIME, we would like to create separate logical joins from FACT to TIMES for the START_TIMEs and END_TIMEs? Obviously, the underlying foreign keys can be created, but as far as I can tell the Oracle BI Administration Tool doesn’t support this. The workaround would be to replicate the TIMES table, but that’s ugly.
I seek an alternative approach.

Try this. Create an two aliases for the TIMES dimension (Start & End) in the Physical Layer and then remove foreign key to the "Parent" Times dimension. Create the Foreign Key in the Physical Layer to the new aliases and then create the complex joins in the BMM Layer to the new aliases as well. This will allow you to present both dates within the same table in the Presentation Layer. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

ABAP HR How to create infotype with table control in it like Infotype 0008

Hi Experts.
I need help from u guys. My client requirement is to create custom infotype just like 0008 infotype which contain table control to save amount and wage types. I try to create infotype with table control using PM01, but that table control is in display mode only, i almost search every where to create custom infotype with table control but what ever threads in forum all are they unanswered and most of the threads for creating infotype. But i already done with infotype , but my main problem is table control.
If any one have some suggestion for this please share with me.
<removed by moderator> i am looking for positive reply.

Hi
I've created several infotypes with a Table Control and it is always the same story. You have to create a custom Z table to store the Table Control data (if you can have unlimited records), so in the PSXXXX structure you need to add a TABNR field to link the PAXXXX table and the Z one, just like the type table OM infotypes.
Then in your code you have to control every possible operation, INS, MOD, DEL... and update the Z table accordingly (the standard code won't do that)
If your TC fields appear in display mode, take a look at the Groups 1 and 3 in your fields, the must be set with the usual values for a PA infotype.
If you have more questions, just ask,

Link between ZX tax tables and gl_code_combinations table in R12

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle apps. We are upgrading from EBS 11i to R12.1.3. In it, ar_vat_tax is obolete. I know its replacement is ZX_rates_b table. But in 11i, they are connected using
ar_vat_tax.tax_account_id = gl_code_combinations.code_combination_id
Now I am not able to find the join between zx tax tables and gl_code_combinations. Can anyone please help how to link these ZX tax table to gl_code_combinations???
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Resolved the issue.
There is a table called ZX_ACCOUNTS. Use the column tax_account_ccid in it. Link ZX_ACCOUNTS.tax_account_entity_id to ZX_RATES_B.tax_rate_id.

Find the difference between two internal table

how can i see the difference between two interal tables?
The requirement is as follows
1. We have a transparent table, which stores the employee data with EMP ID as key.
2. We load the transp table data into a interal table (B).
3. We get data from legecy system as file and it gets loaded into another internal table (A) (this also has the same EMP ID key and this will have latest addition/update to those emplyees).
Now we need to seperate out these data into three interal table Inserted (I), Deleted (D) and Updated (U).
We want to do followign things
I = A - B
D = B - A
Both A and B will have around 40k records. Hence we are trying to avoid the looping.
Please suggest the best option for us.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Raghavendra,
Currently as of my knowledge, these operations are only possible through LOOPs. But LOOPign can be really fast here if you properly utilize the SORTING, READ with BINARY SEARCH and FIELD-SYMBOLS usage. I would say:-
Steps for Insert:-
SORT: A, B.
LOOP AT A ASSIGNING <WA_A>.
READ TABLE B WITH TABLE KEY key = <WA_A>-key BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
APPEND <WA_A> TO I.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Steps for Delete:-
SORT: A, B.
LOOP AT B ASSIGNING <WA_B>.
READ TABLE A WITH TABLE KEY key = <WA_B>-key BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
APPEND <WA_B> TO D.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Need to eliminate Space between two Pivot table view in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement to eliminate space between two pivot table views. In a single report I have two Pivot table with two different column, I placed both of them one after another, but I need to eliminate the space between two pivot table views as if it should show as a single pivot table in OBIEE 11g.
Could anyone please let me know how I can do this in OBIEE 11g?
Thanks in Advance
Anirban Mitra

If I create narrative view it will be another view. And if I put that in between that two pivot view, it will show the space. I need to remove space between two pivot table within a single report so that it can appear as a single pivot view.
Thanks

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.

Shilpi

Performance between two partitionned tables with different structure

Hi,
I would like if there is a difference between two partitionned tables with different structure in term of performance (access, query, insertions, updates ).
I explain myself in detail :
I have a table that stores one value every 10 minutes in a day (so we have 144 values (24*6) in the whole day), with the corresponding id.
Here is the structure :
| Table T1 |
+ id PK |
+ date PK |
+ sample1 |
+ sample2 |
+ ... |
+ sample144 |
The table is partionned on the column date, with a partionned every months. The primary key is based on the columns (id, date).
There is an additionnal index on the column (id) (is it useful ?).
I would like to know if it is better to have a table with just (id, date, value) , so for one row in the first table we'll have 144 rows in the future? table. The partition will already be on the columns (id, date) with the index associated.
What are the gains or loss in performance with this new structure ( access, DMLs , storage ) ?
I discuss with the Java developers and they say it is simpler to manage in their code.

I mean storage in tablespaces and datafiles on disk.
Can you justify please and give me concrete arguments why the two structures are equivalent ( except inserting data in T(id, date,value))
because i have to make a report.i didnt say any thing like
two structures are equivalent ( except inserting data in T(id, date,value)i said
About structure : TABLE1(id, date, value) is better than TABLE1(id, date, sample1, .... sample144)because
1) oracle has restriction for numbers of column. Ok you can have 144 columns now but for future if you must have more than 1000 columns , what will you do?
2) Restrictions on Table Compression (Table compression is not supported for tables with more than 255 columns.)
3) store same type values on diffrent columns is bad practise
