Advantages and disadvantages of SOAP over Http

Hi!
Can any one explain about advantages and disadvantages of SOAP over HTTP.
Thanks
Sreenath

Hi,
Yes you can use RMI to communicate to your soa suite server allthough i could not get it to work from weblogic 10.3, there is a conflict with certain other libraries. From any other 10.1.3 oracle application server there should not be any problem. The biggest advantage of RMI over SOAP is performance. The soap client also generates lots of logging which can not be disabled, ... i already logged a bug on that. The advantage of SOAP over RMI is its underlying HTTP protocol which is, in some cases, the only protocol allowed by network engineers to pass through firewalls.

Advantage and disadvantage of view over physical table

Hi,
Can you explain me Advantage and disadvantage of view over physical table

Hi Nitin,
A view can be thought of as either a virtual table or a stored query. The data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. What is stored in the database is a SELECT statement. The result set of the SELECT statement forms
the virtual table returned by the view. A user can use this virtual table by referencing the view name in Transact-SQL statements the same way a table is referenced.
For more information about the advantages and disadvantages of views in SQL Server, please refer to the following two articles:

Advantages and Disadvantages of Applet over JSP/servlet

Can some one please let me know what are the major advantages and disadvantages of using Applets over JSP/Servlet technology?

Well, a servlet / jsp is generated on the server, an applet on the client side. That's the most important difference.
Appelt's usually are for little applications like games and stuff, you can run in a browser.
Servlets are for dynamic pages, for example database-viewing and stuf...

Advantages and Disadvantages of XML over CSV

Hi friends,
We have a requirement in our implimentation project. We are implimenting HR module. The company is using SABA for Education and Certification.
We are implimenting Education and certification in BW and the data for BW will be comming from SABA.
We had a discussion on thursday about the integration of SABA to BW. We can do it through DBconnect or by using XI and for this there is time and cost involved.
The techical team has come with some idea where there will give the data in the form of XML or in CSV format.
I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of each and also please consider the performance point in view.
I would also like to know about the things that need to be considered if we process the data in multiple files.
Please give me inputs and the answers will be appreciated with valuable points.
Regards
Raghav Reddy

Hi,
my advice is to go for CSV anytime compared to XML.
XML is first made available to the BW system via SOAP ( Simple Object Acess protocol) interface. Next it is updated into the required data targets as before , Via a data source for the myself source system.
SOAP = XML+HTTP.
XML cannot be used for mass data. It is only to load small data into SAP BW on a single document level.
BW provides flat file interface so, there is no all these hassles in case of CSV. go for CSV

Advantage and disadvantages of XI

Dear All,
I was asked to list down the Advantages and Disadvantages of XI over other middleware tools in an interview
Please advice.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Advantages of XI:
XI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
Any fully mature middleware should provide these three layers.
1. An independent Message Queue
2. A data consolidator and mapping engine
3. Workflow processor.
XI is lacking full-fledged Message Queue compared to other established Middleware products.
Currently, SAP XI does not have the features like IBM Websphere, Seeburger or TIBCO.
SAP's next XI release might provide this missing piece and many more features which is due 2007 i guess.
Here are the advantages of SAP XI from my point of view.There are lots of advantages but to list a few :
Easy Integration with SAP products & components (RFC, IDOC, Proxy).
Data security as expected from any SAP product.
Standards based - XML, XSD, Xpath etc
Ability to communicate with other messaging systems/products.
Business Process Management
Synchronous & Asynchronous communication possible.
Complex processes for communication possible instead of only sending and receiving (business process management) (connect e.g. asynchronous and synchronous steps, define complex communication scenarios)
Mapping etc possible to accomplish in Java. Platform independent Java components.
Java & .Net support.
Big range of adapters for different technologies / tools (SOAP, Mail, JDBC, CDIX...)available in standard or offered by other companies (EDI e.g. by Seeburger).
Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules fpr business purposes.
Central monitoring for data communication for all your communication between different systems.
And the marketing issue: SAP and its partners provide high volume of development capabilities to make XI always up-to-date for new requirements

Advantages and Disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Dear All,
Please specify the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of using BEx Analyzer for reporting over a browser.Does the analyzer provide better performance?generate exhaustive reports?and found better by users since it is excel based?
Yours truly,
Ratish
[email protected]
+919820827647

Hello Ratish,
The advantages and disadvantages are primarily based on the light weight client and heavy client.
Excel -
1. It is heavy weight and needs a client installation
2. Analysis is easier , as excel functionalities can be used over BI data
3. People who know excel will like this
Web-
1. It is light weight and no installation needed at the client as browser will be available
2. Can not analyze the data from the report ( you need copy to excel)
In simple analysts and expert users like excel.
Users who just view the report and no more analysis will be happy with web.

Advantages and Disadvantages of webdynpro JAVA over J2ee?

Hi,
Can anybody provide me the advantages and disadvantages of webdynpro java over the J2EE?
Regards,
Harish.

Hi,
Webdynpro is the SAP standard technology for developing business user intrefaces.
Webdynpro is like the frame work which follows the MVC Design pattern.
Webdynpro uses most of the UI developement as declarative approach , i.e. most of the code will generated by the framework. so it will reduce the developement efforts.
Adaptive RFC model to connect with SAP systems.
All these are advantages over than the J2ee.

Advantages and Disadvantages of JMS Queue over Fabric

HI,
I want to know both the advantages and disadvantages of using JMS queue over the default Fabric queue in B2B adapter.
Is it ok if I configure all my inbound and outbound transactions across all the trading partners to communicate with their respective SOA composite via the default JMS Queues(B2B_IN_QUEUE and B2B_OUT_QUEUE)?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Monica

Hi Monica,
But the size of the payload which I am using is unpredictable, it can differ from 1 MB to 40MB in future.This is not a problem. B2B can handle MB's of file if server has enough resources.
all other payloads greater than 3MB, it is getting faulted with the message:
"SAX Exception in translator. SAX Exception raised while trying to SAX Parse InputStream . Please make sure that the xml data is valid."Please remember that when B2B will find a large payload then it will write the large payload into the "Large Payload Directory" (defined in Administration--> Configuration) and pass it's reference to the middleware. So at middleware, you will not receive the actual payload but you will receive it's reference. Using File adapter sync read option, you may read the large file from "Large Payload Directory" at SOA layer.
If you are using PS5 (11.1.1.6) then you will see that for large payload, B2B passes the JMS header LARGE_PAYLOAD to the back-end so in your composite, you may build logic around this. If this header (LARGE_PAYLOAD) is not coming at SOA layer then payload will be available in the body and if it is populated then payload will be available in the "Large Payload Directory" and it's reference will be available in the message body.

Anuj

Doubts about the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Hi people!
Do you know in specific. What are the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer?
and Do you know the limitations and scope of the bex analyzer?
Talking about the security issue. What kind of resticciones be applied to end-users to control information. Protecting system
resources and the information that the user uses, not be manipulated.
I hope you could answer my doubts
Ramon
Thanks

Hi!
The standard BEx BI 3.x tools, is no longer available with the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI tools; however, it is part of the SAP BI add-on installation that, by default, will install the BW 3.x tools along with the newer BI 7.0 tools.
We want to prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users who have installed bex analyzer but are not authorized to do that. Certain users only have to access querys from web and shouldn't have to use reports from bex analyzer.
The only accepted way to access reports for all users is by using web querys published in our intranet. But many users have bex analyzer installed and we don't want that an unauthorized user download data to a excel sheet via bex analyzer.
I'm testing with one user with this roles, but bex web template and bex analyzer have similiar object authorizations, and i don't know if is possible prevent unauthorized download of data from excel sheets.
Final users don't access to bex analyzer by rrmx transaction
Until know i'm testing with this user roles:
1. ZBW:BEX_WEB:RFC (for web templates)
S_RFC:
ACTVT: 16
RFC_NAME:
RFC1
RSBOLAP_BICS
RSBOLAP_BICS_CONSUMER
RSBOLAP_BICS_PROVIDER
RSBOLAP_BICS_PROVIDER_VAR
RSOBJS_RFC_INTERFACE
RSRCI_LOCAL_VIEW
RSWRTEMPLATE
SDIFRUNTIME
SYST
RFC_TYPE: FUGR
2. ZBW:BEX:RFC (for Bex Analyzer):
ACTVT: 16
RFC_NAME:
RSOBJS_RFC_INTERFACE
RSR_XLS_RFC
RZX0
SDIFRUNTIME
SM02
SUNI
SYST
RFC_TYPE: FUGR
please take in count this points:
1. Prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users that should have accees only querys from web not bex analyzer (very important this point)=
2. what are the disadvantages of BEx Analyzer, if only if limited by excel...from other point like performance, workprocess with long runtimes, memory issues, for said something.
I don't know if i'm going by good way.
Somebody could help me?
