  • Difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack

    Hello,
    Can anyone throw some light on difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack(if there is any) and what is Tax Update Bulletins, do we need to configure for TUBs or what is the SAP HR consultants role is Tubs.
    Thanks
    Charlene

    Hi,
    I believe both (hot pack and support pack) are one and the same.
    For TUBS, you can find more information in:
    Service Marketplace -> SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Country Info -> North America -> United States -> Tax Update Bulletins -> Tax Factory 8 -> Tub Downloads
    Hope this helps,
    Reward points if helpful,
    Thank You,

  • Difference between service pack and Patch in XI

    What is the difference between Service Pack(SP) AND Patch ??
    e.g SP12, Patch8.
    Is it like that when there is a major change they will issue SP and
    for a small change they will issue patch ?? or after number of patches
    they will issue SP combining all the patches ??
    Service Pack level can be seen from SAP gui system..>status.
    But Patch level where can we see ?? what is the Tcode for that ?? or just we got
    to go through below links ??
    http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo
    also
    http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo for core system info (J2EE or JVM patch level, etc.)
    thanks

    Hello,
    A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features
    A patch (sometimes called a "fix") is a quick-repair job for a piece of programming. During a software product's beta test distribution or try-out period and later after the product is formally released, problems (called bug) will almost invariably be found. A patch is the immediate solution that is provided to users; it can sometimes be downloaded from the software maker's Web site. The patch is not necessarily the best solution for the problem and the product developers often find a better solution to provide when they package the product for its next release.

  • Difference between Service Pack 5 for CR-XI (R2) and BOE-XI (R2)

    Difference between "Service Pack 5" for CR-XI (R2) and BOE-XI (R2)
    ========
    There are two different "Service Pack 5" files available for download...
    CRYSTAL REPORTS XI (R2) = crxir2win_sp5.exe
    BUSINESS OBJECTS ENTERPRISE XI (R2) = boxir2win_sp5.exe
    If we have workstations that have both CRYSTAL REPORTS XI and the BUSINESS OBJECTS ENTERPRISE "Client Tools" installed locally on them do I need to run both versions of the "Service Pack 5" - or will running just one (1) of them update all the installed desktop tools...?
    Thanks in advance!

    I think the CR patch has client issues only.
    The enterrpsie one is sufficient in most cases. Is that CR XIR1 or CR XIR2 client you have installed? Make sure it's CR XIR2 or you could run into issues

  • Difference between Service pack 13 and Service pack 22 in PI 7.0

    Hi,
    Kindly spcify the difference between Service pack 13 and Service pack 22 in PI 7.0
    Thanks

    Dear Nair,
    It is always recommended to apply the latest Support Packages on the PI system. The reason being that a lot of fixes are included in the latest SPs. Also, the perfomance of hte system will be improved with the latest SPs.

    For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
    You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
    A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

  • What is difference between  Service map iview and Workset Map iview

    Thanks in Advance
    Janardhan

    Hi,
    Service Map Iview:The Service Map iView is an ERP-specific variant of the portal Workset Map iView. It serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the services of SAP service modules such as the Manager Self Service (MSS) module, or the Employee Self Service (ESS) module.
    Workset Map iview:A Workset Map is the equivalent of a site map, providing users with explicit information on the functionality that is available in a given workset. It is based on an iView, and serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the contents of a workset.
    if you want to more info pls go thr the below thread

    Any call made from the API will automatically be set to the “Session Timeout” period, no matter
    what. Calls made from EWA (Excel Web Access) will get the “Short Session Timeout” period assigned to it initially.

  • Difference between a Search and a Retrieve web service?

    Anyone has any idea what's the difference between a Search and Retrieve web-services generated by the 7.1 WS Generator? It seems like you can use both to retrieve any kind of result definition and search by any field.
    I don't mind really, just curious if I'm missing something.
    Alon

    Googling led me to this:
    Authentication:
    Portal: You log-in to the site. Provides you with information based on who you are.
    e.g. mail.yahoo.com
    Website: No log-in.
    e.g. www.yahoo.com
    Personalization:     
    Portal: Limited, focused content. Eliminates the need to visit many different sites.
    e.g. you type in your user name and password and see your yahoo mail only.
    Website: Extensive, unfocused content written to accommodate anonymous users needs.
    Customization :
    Portal: You will select and organize the materials you want to access. Organized with the materials you want to access.
    Website: Searchable, but not customizable. All content is there for every visitor.
    e.g. you can navigate to yahoo mail, yahoo shopping, geo cities, yahoo group. If you wish to use any of these services you will either have to authenticate yourself and see things personalized to you or you can simply visit sections that are for everyone like yahoo news were if you are not signed in then the default sign in is guest.

  • What is the difference between Business System and Business Service?

    Hi
    Please tell me what is the difference between Business System and Business Service...? In real time at what situation we will use Business System and in what situations we will use Business Service..? Please help me
    Best Regards
    Ravi Shankar B

    HI,
    Business system:
    If you want to address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
    A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape. A business system (service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software component versions of the business system.
    You usually use business system services when configuring internal company processes.
    Business Service:
    If you want to address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
    Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
    You usually use business services when configuring cross-company processes. In this case, you only make your interfaces known to the business partners involved and either do not make any details about your own system landscape available, or only specific details. 
    For example, you can define RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) as business services.
    Regards,
    Sudheer.

  • Difference between Business system and Business service.

    Hi All,
    Can any one explain in detail difference between Business system and Business service.
    As we commonly say, Business service is for those system which are not in our landscape.
    Can any one explain in which particular scenarios we will go for Business Service.
    Reg
    Bapuraj

    Hi Bapuraj,
    Business System
    Business system is a logical system, and there is an importance on physical existence of the system.Also SLD entry is required.
    It is generally used for SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.
    Business Component(formerly Service)
    You use a Business Component, when you do not have the System details of the the partner system to which you want to communicate. i.e. you have not configured the partner system in SLD.
    Business Service is an Absract Unit with Sender and Receiver Interfaces,In this case you need to explicitly add the message interfaces while doing configuration in ID.
    It is generally used for NON-SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.

  • What is the difference between Service and Component

    What is the difference between Service and Component?

    Generally, the implementation of a service will be comprised of many components, each of which will be comprised of many objects.
    Services should correspond to cohesive collections of use cases (eg an online bank), components are at a finer granularity (eg a table of numbers).

  • What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it. 
    The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S.  If you would like to get more details, you can always view
    each models specs on Apple's online store.
    See here for a better explanation.
