Answer 1

Hi Reddy,
1.The main differences between LIS and LO-COCKPIT are
1)     Level of information – in LO the data is stored in level by level. i.e. let us take SALES ORDER, it is divided into Header, Item, Schedule line information etc. In LO, go to the T-Code LBWE and check SALES ORDER (Application component – 11), Header – 2LIS_11_VAHDR, Item – 2LIS_11_VAITM, Schedule line – 2LIS_11_VASCL etc. But in LIS the whole data is in one datasource. So in LO-COCKPIT it is the flexibility.
2)     In LO-COCKPIT, we can use the data is stored in setup tables. But in LIS the data is stored in cluster tables.
3)     In LO-COCKPIT there is background job using V3 updated mode. But in LIS there is no background job.
4)     We can delete the setup data using LBWG in LO-COCKPIT, But LIS there is not option for deleting setup table data.
The advantages of LO-COCKPIT are as follows:
1)     Level of information
2)     Background job scheduling
3)     No redundancy
4)     High performance
2.How many dimensions can we create to a fact table.and wht is the procedure for that.Is there any standard industry practise only 13 have to be created?
A) Yes we have 16 dimensions, out of which 13 are user defined dimensions and other 3 are system defined. The procedure for creating these dimensions are first of all create one cube, at that time is asks characteristics, time characteristics and key figure. Select the tab for CHAR and click on dimensions. OK. The 3 system defined dimensions are TIME, UNIT, DATAPACKET. OK
Thanks & Regards
