Hi,
I don't think it matters which OS, sqlloader works the same for all OS. If you want more information, read first the manual: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/ldr_concepts.htm#i1005437

Please any one can tell about

4) In real time scenarios where we will USE LSMW and Where we use BDC
(Session or Call transaction). What is the deciding factor for it.

hi,
generally LSMW is used to upload master data. it can transfer small amount of data as well as large amount of data. its used by functional consultants since it avoids coding, while upgrading to new version lsmw is used to upload master data,
it wont support call transaction.
bdcs, session method can work in fore ground as well as back groung,its also
used to upoad large amount of data. call transaction method works only in fore ground. error handling in session method we had to provide explicitly.

Any one can tell me something about HR (HRSSA)

Hi there,
I'm new to HRMS.
There is a workflow in HRMS i.e HR (HRSSA).
There are lots of process in that item i.e HRSSA,
Can any one tell me,
Which is the main Process Name and from where we can start the process (Functionally)?
And another process Called "@Termination".
from where it is starting.
Please it's very urgent.
Help me out
Thanks
Bachan

HRSSA workflow is not a single process.
HRSSA is a workflow containing a list of various HR processes in it.
So it is wrong to say what is the main process name because there is not mail process name.
what you can do is, find out what is the workflow process called by the particular function based on the process specified in the Form Function definition.
then once you open the workflow builder find the process.

And for this i've i got some solution from metalink,
i.e as follows
"Note:392635.1" Just See that.
in this i want to perform activity like
1- change the UTL_FILE_DIR to have in front the same value like $APPLPTMP,
ex: /usr/tmp
you need to change it in initSID.ora and reboot the database after
2- grant all user read/write permissions over that directory:
chmod 777 /usr/tmp
As I've win-XP there is no need to set permission.
and now i'm Confused.
What to do?
Please help.

Hi Roger,
I'm only guessing here, but I think you are using incompatible versions.
You don't mention what JDK version you are using, and your OC4J version
is only guaranteed to support JDK 1.2.2
Also, (again, only guessing :-) your Oracle client version may also
be incompatible with yur OC4J version.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Hi gurus, can any one explain me about Badi & Bapi with eg.?

Hi gurus,
Can any one explain me about Badi & Bapi with examples.
Regards
Raghu

Hi Raghu
1) Badis means:
The BAdIs of the enhancement concept are not treated as standalone objects, but are integrated in the overall concept. Thus, the tools for defining BAdIs are part of the Enhancement Builder included in the ABAP Workbench.
Transaction SE18, up to now the only entry point for defining classic BAdIs, now manages classic and new BAdIs. When an existing BAdI is displayed or changed, it analyzes whether the BAdI is a classic or a new one, and then switches to the respective tool. In the case of a new BAdI, this tool is the enhancement spot editor
2) Bapis means:
BAPIs can be called within the R/3 System from external application systems and other programs. BAPIs are the communication standard for business applications. BAPI interface technology forms the basis for the following developments:
Connecting:
New R/3 components, for example, Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) and Business Information Warehouse (BW).
Non-SAP software
Legacy systems
Isolating components within the R/3 System in the context of Business Framework
Distributed R/3 scenarios with asynchronous connections using Application Link Enabling (ALE)
Connecting R/3 Systems to the Internet using Internet Application Components (IACs)
PC programs as frontends to the R/3 System, for example, Visual Basic (Microsoft) or Visual Age for Java (IBM).
Workflow applications that extend beyond system boundaries
Customers' and partners' own developments

Can I have two Data Files in One control file of sql*loader tool

hi,
Can someone help me out. is it possible to have two Data Files in one control file of Sql*loader.
And isit possible to run 10,000 records before lunch and 10,000 records before tea and 10,000 records before evening session by giving breaks after every 10,000 records.
Thanks
Ram

Yes. You can specify two datafiles in one control file and can load using sql loader.
I give you the sample control file.
Load DATA
INFILE 'TEST1.CSV'
INFILE 'TEST2.CSV'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TEST_P
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'

Can any one explain me about Field symbols in Genral Reports?

Can any one explain me about Field symbols in Genral Reports?
If possible, plz explain me with the code to explain me about the field symbols.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya

Syntax
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
Extras:
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The naming conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
Addition 1
... typing
Effect
You can use the addition typing to type the field symbol. The syntax of typing is described under Syntax of Typing. The typing specifies which memory areas can be assigned to the field symbol (see Checking the Typing) and in which operand positions it can be used.
Note
You can omit the addition typing outside of methods. In this case, the field symbol has the complete generic type any and is implicitly assigned the predefined constant space during the declaration.
Addition 2
... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
If you specify the addition STRUCTURE instead of typing for a field symbol, and struc is a local program structure (a data object, not a data type) or a flat structure from the ABAP Dictionary, this structure is cast for the field symbol <fs>. You have to specify a data object dobj that is initially assigned to the field symbol.
The field symbol copies the technical attributes of structure struc as if it were completely typed. When you assign a data object using the addition DEFAULT, or later using ASSIGN, its complete data type is not checked in non- Unicode programs. Instead, the system merely checks whether it has at least the length of the structure and its alignment.
In Unicode programs, we differentiate between structured and elementary data objects. For a structured data object dobj, its Unicode fragment view has to match the one of struc. In the case of an elementary data object, the object must be character-type and flat, and struc must be purely character-type. The same applies to assignments of data objects to field symbols typed using STRUCTURE when using the ASSIGN statement.
Note
Field symbols declared using the addition STRUCTURE are a mixture of typed field symbols and a utility for casting structured data types. You should use the additions TYPE or LIKE for the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement to type field symbols, while the addition CASTING of the ASSIGN statement is used for casting.
Example
The first example shows the obsolete usage of the addition STRUCTURE.
DATA wa1 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr1> STRUCTURE scarr DEFAULT wa1.
<scarr1>-carrid = '...'.
The second example shows the replacement of STRUCTURE with the additions TYPE and CASTING.
DATA wa2 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr2> TYPE scarr.
ASSIGN wa2 TO <scarr2> CASTING.
<scarr2>-carrid = '...'.
Also,
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

Syntax Diagram
FIELD-SYMBOLS
Basic form
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
Extras:
1. ... TYPE type
2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
4. ... TYPE LINE OF type
5. ... LIKE s
6. ... LIKE LINE OF s
7. ... TYPE tabkind
8. ... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.
