Mapping: Difference between createIf and ifWithoutElse

Suppose i have some condition based on which i am creating a node. Is there any difference between createIf and ifWithoutElse for creating the node (with or without context change)?

Hi Mala,
1. IfWithoutElse is usually used to set the filters in mapping. When If condition is satisfied the value of then is returned in output.
Else value is depends upon the mapping, i.e. where u want this value ( target or in function)
2. Createif is used to insert any structuring element in the target structure if it is not present in source.
To create a condition based node you have to go to CreateIf function as ifWithoutElse is boolean function deals with the true n false status of values and not with node creation.

Shri
Reward points if u understood the concept.

Difference between exists and createIf

Hi all,
In Node functions we are having createIf and exists. what is the difference between createIf and exists? Where we have to use createIf and where we have to use exists?
Thanks
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar
Source Node --- Exists ---target Node ..... this says that the target node will be created if and only if the source node (may be source occurences is 0...1)through which you are mapping exists or not.. If it than target node will be created if not than it wont be created ...
Source node -
creatIf---target Node ...... this says that there will be some condition in source side ...if that condition is true than create the target node otherwise do not create

A CONFUSION:The difference between cluster and multi-IP--DNS mapping??

 I have a test about simplest cluster,admin and managed server all told me "start
 cluster service"!the two IP address use ONE DomainName,If one down,when I send
 request with dn,It first look up admin server,no found and then go dns to search
 another server,about one minute then the server send response to me!
 But when I do not config a cluster,only start two admin server and give them the
 same dns,the same appearance as cluster!
 I don't understand the difference between cluster and multi-IP--DNS mapping??

 It is totally different. regarding the last failover example you've given,
 of course the 2 servers can have identical files maintained under
 public_html. DNS will failover requests to "foo.html" to the other one if
 the first server is down, but if you have something saved in a session, say
 shopping cart example, it's totally lost, but with WLS clustering, the
 session is replicated to the other server in the cluster, you may just
 check-out, don't have to order again.
 This is just a simple example of WLS cluster session-replication. WLS
 supports EJB, RMI Objects, JMS (6.0) clustering.. check the doc at
 http://www.weblogic.com/docs50/cluster/index.html

Difference Between Normal and External Context Mapping

Hi,
I wonder the Difference Between Normal and External Context Mapping.
I1ve already read the docs and articles but I didnt understand.
Thanks,
Jorge Luiz
Edited by: Jorge Castro on Oct 9, 2008 4:23 PM

Jorge,
With this type of Mapping (also called Reverse Mapping) you can map the context of an using component, to that of the used component.
You can find an example of this concept in WDA ALV: If you look at component SALV_WD_TABLE (which you declare as used when you intend to use ALV), you'll see that it has a node DATA declared as external. In your using component, you map your actual data node to this node.
This allows the ALV to leave the DATA node type open and so to be reused, adjusting it's structure depending on the using component's data.

Made a mistake! Have not used this in a while...Ext. mapping is the OTHER way...Using -map-> Used Fixed.

What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

Hi!
What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!
Edited by: user13278245 on Sep 15, 2010 4:34 AM

Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
+ I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

Difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD

hi
let me know the difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD and giv me clear idea of wat and wat not should be done with respect to conversion from download to gui_Download??????
give me clear process of putting my download data into my own defined file name .. during manual and backgrnd job. process..
thanks inadvance

Hi Shaik,
DOWNLOAD function module is obsolete now and DOWNLOAD as well as WS_DOWNLOAD should be replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
The only matter you need to be careful off is mapping the parameters correctly.
Also, you have asked "during manual and backgrnd job. process.. " , well GUI_DOWNLOAD or any download module for downloading to Presentation server CANNOT be used in the background.
Because background work processes are run on application server level and do not have access to the desktop of any PS.
For downloading to the presentation server essentially, pass the contents of internal table to DATA_TAB tables parameter and pass the presentation server file name to FILENAME importing parameter.
Cheers,
Aditya

What are the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database

Hi all,
I would like to know what the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database are.
When and why should we use Oracle?
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Can we lose data if master node fails?
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?
Thanks.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/nosqldb/overview/index.html
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?Yes, Oracle NoSQL Database will be a component of the Big Data Appliance.
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?Yes, I believe you can run M/R on a single computer. Consult the various pieces of documentation available on the web. You may run Oracle NoSQL Database on the same computer that you are running M/R on, but it is likely that they will compete for CPU and IO resources and therefore performance may suffer.
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Yes.
Can we lose data if master node fails?If you run Oracle NoSQL Database with the default (recommended) durability settings, then if the master fails, a new one will be elected and data is not lost.
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?Yes, each operation is executed in an ACID transaction. The API has the concept of "multi" operations which allow the caller to perform multiple operations on sets of records with the same major key, but different minor keys. Those operations are also performed within a transaction.

Key Configuration differences between SAP and ORACLE Financials

Hello,
After spending good 7 years in SAP related projects recently I started working in ORACLE Applications. I used to be an ORACLE programmer years back. To my surprise the same ORACLE Forms are still very much the heart of the ORACLE UI.
Then I thought what will be the key differences between ORACLE and SAP in terms of configuration elements. While I know a bunch of configuraion items in SAP , I am not sure about the same in ORACLE world. I am not even sure some of the configuration items that are available in SAP exists in ORACLE.
Does anyone know both sides of the coin ? The terminology and design ?
SAP has
Client,Company code, Business area, Functional Area, GL, Posting Key, Document Type.
I am trying to get the details of the equivalents of these in ORACLE.
Does anyone know it ?
For e.g , when you post to AP or AR in SAP , GL is updated automatically. In ORACLE you post to a AP Book or AR Book then Run a batch to move them to GL Book.
ORACLE uses SQLLoader to load data . You can write a PL SQL and update the tables directly, which is not the case in SAP. For dataloads and conversions, SAP uses BDC's ( though XI can be used but its slow).For ORACLE its the good old SQL and PlSQL combo.
What are the equivalents of the configuration elements in ORACLE world ?
Also what are the major differences between these two in terms of designing a financial system.
Does any one know ?

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
SAP ====> ORACLE
GL ==> Book In ORACLE
Document Number ===> Invoice Number
Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

Difference between Cofiguration and Customzing

Hi,
What's the difference between Cofiguration and Customzing.
BR
Govind

Hi,
The difference between customizing and configuration is;
CONFIGURATION: - We will configure the system to meet the needs of your business by using the existing data.
CUSTOMIZING: - We will customize or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process.
Configuration Vs Customization: -
When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between configuration and customization. The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names, modify drop-down lists, or add buttons. Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization involves code changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to the new version. Wherever possible, governments should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their goals. Governments also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like "modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.

Differences between APO and R3 sysytem.

Hi everybody,
Can anyone list out the differences between the APO system and the R3 system.A detailed explanation will be helpful.

Hi,
APO
APO is the supply chain tool from SAP.
BW is the data layer for APO.
SAP APO is for Demand Planning and is a component of mySAP SCM. It enables dynamic supply chain management and which in turn includes applications for detailed planning, optimization and scheduling, allowing the supply chain to be accurately and globally monitored even beyond enterprise boundaries.
SAP BI is a reporting tool in SAP. It provides a complete view of the company. The solution is part of SAP NetWeaver and provides the tools needed to make the right decisions, optimize processes, and measure strategic success: data from all enterprise sources are merged effectively and can be comprehensively analyzed, business-critical factors can be monitored using external and internal benchmarks, the most important KPIs can be passed on to all the relevant forces in a company in real time, strategies can be rapidly adapted to changed market conditions, and the results of analyses can be graphically represented in a wide variety of formats, such as grids, graphs, and maps
Check this:
What is APO and how it is related to BW
SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer is a component of the mySAP Supply Chain Management solution that you use for planning and optimizing supply chain processes at a strategic, tactical, and operational planning level.
With APO - Simultaneous Material & Capacity Planning is possible, as against R/3 PP
APO Planning is capable of taking all the constraints into consideration with Planning for Capacities/Scheduling
APO Resource (workcenter in R/3) does a Capacity availability check before scheduling an activity, if capacity is not available, it finds the immediate next available slot & schedules the activity there. This is not possible with R/3

Difference between Roadmap and PhaseIndicator

Hello All,
My Question is:
What is the main difference between Roadmap and PhaseIndicator.
As they look very similar to each other in terms of functionality and behavioral.
Please suggest the best situation where PhaseIndicator is suitable over Roadmap ?
Regards,
Amol

Hi Amol,
similar to the RoadMap UI element, the PhaseIndicator UI element displays the steps in a wizard. Each step is represented by a separate phase object. As opposed to using the RoadMap UI element, the application development can display larger steps using the PhaseIndicator UI element which may require more time by the user.
I suggest to you to look at this link: (Phase Indicator)

Difference between SPL and Embargo check

Hi,
What is the difference between Embargo and SPL screening.
Regards
Gaurav Jain

Hi Gaurav,
Embargo
An embargo is a government prohibition against the shipment of particular products to a particular country for economic or political reasons.
SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) provides an embargo service that helps you manage import and export processes in global trade. The embargo service automatically checks whether there are any "critical" business partners contained in your customs document, that is, whether the business partners are in an embargo situation. If there is an embargo situation, the document is blocked for further processing. Essentially, the embargo service enables you to map all possible combinations of legal regulations using three functions in combination with one another
Sanctioned Party List Screening
A sanctioned party list contains a list of persons and companies with whom trade is prohibited by law. These boycott lists are issued by government agencies and can be obtained from data providers. All traders must comply with these lists.
Sanctioned party list screening lets you compare the addresses of your business partners (such as the consignee) with the sanctioned party lists automatically prior to goods export. It is a system-independent solution that performs and logs the SPL check and is fully integrated into the complete business process.
Hope this information helps

Difference between CAF and GP?

Dear All,
Can any one explain me what is the difference between CAF and GP? what is the difference between the CAF application and webdynpro application? In which senario we will go for CAF development and in which senarion we will go for GP application. Can we deploy the CAF/GP application in Enterprise Portal?
Thanks in advance
With Regards,
Balachander

Composite Application Framework consist of two parts
1. CAF Core
2. CAF GP (Guided Procedure).
CAF core is used to model the the services. Composite Application Framework (CAF Core) service-oriented architecture and the standardized object access allow for uniform treatment of business processes as servicesand business objects independent of the underlying system. CAF Core integrates the elements of all the SAP NetWeaver integration layers to facilitate the creation of new business solutions across people, information, processes and application object repositories. Composite Application Framework Core (CAF Core) is an environment for building andrunning packaged composite applications (PCAs) such as SAP Collaborative Cross Applications (xApps).CAF Core supports the development of new business solutions across people, information, and processes by unifying elements from all layers of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform.
CAF Core is a comprehensive environment, which includes programming abstractions, a
programming model, metadata, and tools to support the development and deployment of
composite applications based on Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA). This environment
allows developers to build applications, which leverage the whole SAP NetWeaver stack
without the need to feed low-level APIs. This way, they can focus on implementing the
business logic of a composite application. SAP CAF comes with predefined generic patterns
for reuse in different development projects.
CAF Core consists of the following main elements:
Composite Application Services perspective, which includes a tool for modeling entity,
application, and external services
Configurable user interface components
CAF Core administrative tool
CAF Core and SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) integration.
CAF GP (Guided Procedure) : CAF GP is used for process or orcastration. Anything you want to integrate with GP you will firat go through Callable Object. For Each Callable Object has one Action. So callable Object and Action are mapped with 1:1. On the top of Actions you need to create Block and on the top of Block you will Create Process.
Difference between the CAF application and webdynpro application: CAF application CAF Core) is used for modeling services. The services may be local in respect of CAF or remote (like RFC, BAPI, Web Service). But Web Dynpro application is used to develop the UI (User Interface). You can Line your CAF application with Web Dynpro Applicationa and ultimatelly you can expose the web dynpro application as a Callable Object which will be integrategrated with Guiged Procedure. Another ways for developing your UI using VC(Visual Composer), CAF UI Pattern.
If you need more details let me know.
Thanks and Regards

Can anybody give me the difference between Catt and Ecatt

Hi gurus,
Can any body give me the difference between catt and ecatt.

Hi,
I think this is new technology in sap.
I know little bit of this can u go through this.
eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
What is eCATT?
eCATT is an SAP Testing Tool used to automate & test business scenarios in R/3. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results. If the testing is smooth without any errors, this means that the business scenarios mapped in R/3 are correct. If the test results in error then the problem can be analyzed using the error log that is generated.
eCATT enables automatic testing in SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java.
Features of eCATT:
Following functions can be performed using eCATT:
Test transactions, reports and scenarios.
Call BAPIs and function modules.
Test remote systems.
Check authorizations (user profiles).
Test updates (database, applications, GUI).
Set up customizing tables.
Test the effect of changes to customizing settings.
Perform load testing.
Check system messages.
Integrated with Test Workbench, so allows proper management of scripts using SCAT transaction.
Supports CATT migration to eCATT.
All eCATT Objects are Repository Objects. Therefore one can take advantage of Standard SAP Transport Tools.
eCATT Objects can easily download & upload in XML with XSD format.
There can be several versions of Test Scripts, which allows different implementations with different releases.
The separation of Test Scripts, Test Data & System Data allows for a considerable degree of reuse.
Why eCATT?
CATT is no longer supported by SAP for the creation of new developments. Hence all the test scripts developed in CATT are now need to migrate/Update to eCATT. Comparative to manual testing, the following are advantages of using eCATT:
Due to automation, testing time is reduced to a large extent.
Due to automation, less manpower is required for testing. This helps financially.
Due to automation, manual errors are reduced to large extent. Hence results in error free testing. This helps, as no further problems will occur while the usage of R/3 system by end users and hence increases the efficiency.
Proved to be extremely useful in implementation projects.
In regression testing, automated test scripts are an ideal method of quickly detecting errors. Automatic test logs make it easy to reproduce test results, enabling fast analysis and planning of further activities, leading to cost savings for the customer.
Differences between CATT and eCATT?
Till date, CATT could only be used with the R/3 system. eCATT (which is available with SAP Web Application Server 6.20) covers the automatic testing in SAPGUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java. For other GUIs and Applications, eCATT provides an interface for external tools. This allows companies to perform automated tests from an SAP system in a complete IT solution landscape across system boundaries. These new options enable complete automation of solution landscapes under standard Windows and Web-based user interfaces- resulting in low-cost operation of an IT Solution.
eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
eCATT requisites
Web Application Server (WAS) 6.20 or more.
SAPGUI 6.20 or more.
R/3 4.6C or more. (Target system must have sufficient support package level (Details available in SAP Note 519858) or SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.7).
Before creating Test Scripts using eCATT, some system settings need to be done:
Maintain table T000.
1.      Go to transaction SM31
2.      Enter T000 and chose MAINTAIN.
3.      In the Change View Clients: Overview screen, select the relevant client and choose Details
4.      In the CATT and eCATT Restrictions field, select CATT and eCATT allowed.
5.      Click on SAVE.
Enabling scripting at the Front-end
1.      On any SAP GUI screen, choose Customizing of Local Layout.
2.      Choose Options
3.      Choose Scripting Tab
4.      Select Enable Scripting
5.      Click Apply and then OK.
Enabling Scripting on the Application Server
1.      Go to transaction RZ11.
2.      On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, enter sapgui/user_scripting.
3.       Choose Display.
4.      If the Current Value is not set to TRUE, then click on Change Value:
5.      Enter TRUE in the New Value.
6.      Click on SAVE.
