Features in ECC 6.0

Hi,
I am new to the ECC 6.0 version and have several doubts about the usage of different features. Please find below my questions and help me in understanding them and use.
1) Enhancement: There are two types of enhancements Implicit and Explicit. And Implicit enhancements can be defined in the programs at the end of the form, reoprt etc.
I would like to know when exactly we prefer Implicit and Explicit. Where do we find Explicit areas? Any business scenario for differentiating both these types usage?
2) What is the difference between Enhancement section and Enhancement point? Which scenario each can be used?
3) Why do we call BAdIs as Kernel BAdIs in ECC 6.0?
4) In Classes, there is new statement IS SUPPLIED used for exceptions. The usage of this I read as this is used to check if an input parameter had a value in it or not. And if no value is passed, the exception can be raised.
Sample code is mentioned below.
CLASS test DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
METHODS meth
IMPORTING  op TYPE i OPTIONAL
EXCEPTIONS excp.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS test IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD meth.
DATA: feld TYPE i.
IF op IS SUPPLIED.
CASE op.
WHEN 1.
      feld = 100.
WHEN 2.
     feld = 200.
WHEN OTHERS.
   RAISE excp.
ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
As per my opinion, the same can be done even by the simple statement IF NOT IS INITIAL. What is the difference?
5) How to use TRY and ENDTRY for handling exceptions in Classes?
6) How to use Adobe forms?
7) What are the uses of MIME repository and Tag browser? How do we use them in SAP?
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi,
Answer to ur 6th question :
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
As answer to ur last Question plz refer following links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/bb182fab4811d4968100a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a2/8c6eeb2d8911d596a000a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
Both MIME Repository & Tag Browser are part of BSP Development tools.

My queries are listed below. Kindly respond.

Waiting for all you experts to respond.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gokul

Dear Gokul,
I can answer to one part
iPPE and PS can be integrated so that there will be logical link between objects in PVS (Product Varient Strucutre) and Project in PS.
there n:n relationship between WBS element and iPPE node , also betn Network and iPPE nodes/varients.
Use can use data from iPPE for project procurements.
Using reference points you can tranfer material from iPPE structure to PS Network.

WM additional features in ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
What are the major differences between ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 in terms of functionality specific to WM?
Thanks for your promt replies.
Regards,
Shahsidhar

Hi
Jurgen is probably correct in that I dont believe that anything was specifically enhanced for release 6.
In fact I dont think that SAP plan to create any more functionality around WM as they have the new module which is EWM and I believe that this is their favoured offering at the moment
I hope that this helps

BI features available in ECC

Hi,
If anyone is aware of the usage of BI feature within ECC itself, without going for a BI server, please let me know.
Thanks
Madhu

Hi,
If your BI system is Live then I would recommend that you clear down the Delta loads before upgrading your R/3 System as you could lose some delta's if you don't.
Concerning GL, just use the new datasources as they are linked to the flexible GL in ECC 6.0.
Thanks,

New G/L features

Hi All
I'm in a greenfield implementation for FICO module. We are going to implement SAP in ECC 6.0. My doubt is that whether i can activate the new features in Ecc 6.0 (since i read that we need to activate the new G/L features only at the time of the start of new fiscal year & we are going to go live in the mid of fiscal year) or just go for SAP 4.7 features alone? Plz advise on the approach.
Regards
Rajaram

If your implementation is a new implementation then the New GL accounting should be activated from the start. It doesn't really matter, if you Go-Live in mid of the fiscal year or at the end.
If the project is an upgrade from a previous version of SAP then it's better to activate New GL at the start of new fiscal year.

E-Recruiting 6.0 with ECC 5.0

We're planning on implementing SAP E-Recruiting 6.0, and we're currenlty running ECC 5.0 that we want to use with it.
Is this possible? If so, can we take advantage of the new features of E-Recruiting 6.0 with our ECC 5.0, or do the new features require ECC 6.0 as a back-end?
Upgrading from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 is not possible at the moment, and implementing E-Recruiting 3.x is not an option.
Finally, where can I find white papers and installation guides for E-Recruiting 6.0?

Hi Juha / Rajesh,
I looking at various options to implement E-Recruiting in a stand alone scenario.
One option i know is where my HR Data is in ECC6.0 and E-Rec component is in other ECC6.0 system and i can interface the data through ALE and RFC's.
When we talk about E-Rec in standalone (without ECC), how would be technical architecture look like.
Please help me with some inputs.
Juha - The link you had provided does not take me to the document. Can you please provide some information?
Best Regards

SRM 7.0 EHP1 integartion with ECC

HI,
We are currently using EHP4 of ECC and upgraded our SRM system from 5.0 to EHP1.
What is the min version reqt for integration SRM 7.0 EHP1 with ECC??
I read somehere that SRM 7.0 EHP1 cannot be integarted with ECC lower than EHP5?can someone confirm?

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for the response!
It is recommended to have SRM 7.01 with ECC EHP4 (at least) to get the maximum advantage of integration part of SRM and ECC system. With these combination, you can create central contract via ESOA services and distribute the contract to R/3 backend system.
-->By SRM 7.0 .1 do you mean SRM 7.0 EHP1?
Can you also confirm if all features of ECC EHP4 are part of EHP5?(EHP4 is subset of EHP5)
We are currently on SRM 7.0 and are planning to upgrade to EHP1.However on the ECC side,we have all business functions needed in both EHP4 and EHP5.Considering this,would it be advisable to anyways upgrade SRM to EHP1?
Also by upgrading to EHP1,my undesratanding is that we only activate the scenario specific switches in the system..is that true?
Please advise.

SAP Upgrade - Features

Hi,
We are working in a sap upgrade project ECC 5.0 to ECC6.0. We have found a issue in the features ( PE03) after the upgrade of the dev system. The modifications done to the features has now been overwritten by sap.
eg: The dates maintained in the Feature GBCHG - decision tree nodes are not the same before and after upgrade.
1. Are changes to features captured in SPAU/SPDD or what is the way to find out which/what features need to be adjusted again ?
2. Are there any other sap hr objects configurations which needs to be taken care similar to features?
Thanks
Jagruthi

@ Jagruthi:
Hmmm, have you checked the overall structure of the Feature in QA using PE03. A lot of implementations change the way a structure is used to assist their configuration.
When you are in PE03 click on Attributes to look at the author of the changes for the Feature. This is seen on the Administrative Data box (bottom of the page). Notice if Last Changed is a User Name of a company user instead of SAP.
Also when you're in this view, review the actual structure to determine if the same Structure and fields match what you have in DEV.
I really doubt SAP has changed the Feature from ECC 5 to ECC 6. It is much more likely someone has reconfigured the Feautre a long time back.
Cheers, Al

Period enclosing in ECC.

What the functions executed during period end closing in ECC and as well as year end closing?
I understand revaluation is the standard feature in ECC, but has any one executed the currency translation ( LC> GC) functions in ECC?
If yes, is it standard funcitonality or is it customized one?
Appreciate your inputs...

Since this is no more active thread.. closing the issue.
