SAP HANA: Differences in functionality concering side by side and ERP on HANA scenario

Dear all,
There are two ways to use HANA - on the one hand, I could use it as a main database (ERP on HANA) or, on the other hand, I use it as a secondary database next to a non-HANA database (side by side or "sidecar" solution) for selected matters.
Where are the limitations if I use the side by side solution only? Are there functionalities which I can not use in comparison to the ERP on HANA solution? Or offer both solutions the same functionality but only the way to use HANA is different?
Do you have any clue or any links concerning documentation - till now I wasn't able to find some..
Sincerely Yours
Zapp

Hi Zapp,
You can check the below thread for limitations in SideCar Scenario:
What are the limitations/challenges in HANA sidecar
In addition to these, you will not be able to use ABAP Proxies, ABAP managed database procedures and many other new functionalities that are being added to ECC on HANA.
If you use HANA as a sidecar, you would use it to accelerate only few transactions while with ECC on HANA, many standard transactions have been optimized to use the power of hana
Additionally, you can register for free Suite on HANA course at openSAP and learn more about it:

Pass through scenario in SAP PI with no mapping for File to IDoc and Idoc to file scenarios

Hi Experts,
Can i have step by step process in SAP PI for pass through scenario with no mapping in case of file to Idoc and Idoc to file both cases please.
What objects i can skip.
My PI system is 7.3 dual stack.
I have seen below blogs, still its confusing to me.
When and how to create an scenario in SAP PI without mapping objects.
Pass Through Scenario with no Mapping in PI 7.1
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Mohan.

Hi Mohan
In pass thru interface you don't need to create any ESR objects, only ID objects are required.
Just Create a Receiver Determination and Receiver Agreement for your scenario (no need for Interface Det. and Sender Agreement).
Specify the IDOC in the Sender Interface and namespace as urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages
Or instead of creating objects manually, Run the wizard with Idoc name/namespace in sender/receiver interface

Difference between calling a function module in background task and update

Hi experts,
Can someone explain me the basic difference between calling a FM in background and update tasks?
Also what is the advantage of using backgroud RFCs over the above 2.
Thanks in advance,
reddy

This is essentially a difference of synchronization with the main program calling this FM.
For Update task, we specify explicitely that we want to update some rows in a database table. But Update task is essentially for waiting that all tasks to do before are done and updating database at the end. The main point is that MF called in Update task wait for a COMMIT WORK to be executed.
On the other hand FM in background task are executed immediatly and are not specific to updating database table : it can be a function that would return some values or something else like that.
If you want to see more about difference between background jobs / update jobs, you can also have a look at transaction SM51. Here you will see all the servers composing your SAP instance and what kind of task they can execute :
- background jobs corresponds to BATCH
- update tasks corresponds to UPDATE
Those 2 kinds of tasks stands not necessarily on the same server...

Samuel

Difference between function module and a method?

Hi Experts
Can anybody pls tell me the technical and functional difference between function moduel and a method?
Thanks
Sudhansu

Hi,
Function modules are procedures that are defined in function groups (special ABAP programs with type F) and can be called from any ABAP program. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the R/3 System. They are stored in a central library. The R/3 System contains a wide range of predefined function modules that you can call from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role in database updates and in remote communications between R/3 Systems or between an R/3 System and a non-SAP system.
You can declare methods in the declaration part of a class or in an interface. To declare instance methods, use the following statement:
METHODS <meth> IMPORTING.. [VALUE(]<ii>[)] TYPE type [OPTIONAL]..
               EXPORTING.. [VALUE(]<ei>[)] TYPE type [OPTIONAL]..
               CHANGING.. [VALUE(]<ci>[)] TYPE type [OPTIONAL]..
               RETURNING VALUE(<r>)
               EXCEPTIONS.. <ei>..
When you declare a method, you also define its parameter interface using the additions IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, and RETURNING. The additions define the input, output, and input/output parameters, and the return code. They also define the attributes of the interface parameters, namely whether a parameter is to be passed by reference or value (VALUE), its type (TYPE), and whether it is optional (OPTIONAL, DEFAULT).
Unlike in function modules, the default way of passing a parameter in a method is by reference.
As in function modules, you can use exception parameters (EXCEPTIONS) to allow the user to react to error situations when the method is executed.
As in function modules, you can use the RAISE <exception> and MESSAGE RAISING statements to handle error situations.

Sruthi

Difference between function module and userexit and badi

Hello Gurus,
                As a functional consultant i want to know what is function module and user exit and badi.
what is the difference between function module , user exit and badi?
regds
Ramachandra

Rama,
Function modules are ABAP routines that are administered in a central function library. They apply across applications and are available throughout the system. You must assign function modules to a function pool that is called a function group. A function group is nothing but a container for the function modules.
Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
User exit - A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP.   XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number .
Difference between BADI and USER-EXIT.
    i) BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.
       Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.
    ii) BADI's are oops based.
Hope this helps you.

Using Standard SAP Tables in SAP Tables, clusters or functions connections

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to use Standard SAP table like MARA, MAKT.. etc. in my crystal designer. When i make a new connection using SAP tables, Cluster or Functions, these tables are not listed.
Any configuration i have to maintain to list those standard table.?
With Regards,
Balachander.S

Due to performance reasons there is a limitation regarding the number of the dispplayed table names. Once you are in the connection/table browser select a table and invoke the context menu by pressing the right mouse button. Select Options and in the options panel you can use wildcards in order to limit the results to the desired range (eg. use MA% to get a list of tables starting with MA). After you close the options panel press F5 and expand the connection entry again.

Difference between Function module in Update task

Hi folks,
What is the difference between
1. A function module calling in 'update task'( if attributes not set for update mode).
2.A function module's attributes set to update mode, but while calling not specified 'Update task'.
Please clarify this doubt.
Thanks in advance.

CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK.
Additions:
1. ... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
2. ... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
Flags the function module func for execution in the update task. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and a subsequent COMMIT WORK then causes the function module to be executed by the update task. Update function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder
The return value is not set.
Addition 1
... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
Effect
Values of fields and field strings specified under EXPORTING are passed from the calling program to the function module. In the function module, the formal parameters are defined as import parameters. In the interface definition, default values must be assigned to all import parameters of the update function module.
Addition 2
... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
TABLES passes references to internal tables. All table parameters of the function module must have values.
Note
With update function modules, both import parameters and exceptions are ignored when the call is made.

Exact difference between function and procedure

A function may be called in a query providing it meets certain limitations (no DDL, or transactional statements such as commit/rollback etc.).

Regular functions must return a value, though pipelined functions do not...

MARK... whilst the definition of the function shows a return type, the return statement inside the function simply returns, without a value. That's because the data is passed back through a special "pipeline", and you can write code to show that the data is available to a query as soon as it's piped, and before the function has completed (reached the return statement) if you like.
A procedure does not return a value (And no an OUT parameter is not a "returned" value, it's a writeable parameter, there's a difference)
2. There are some limitations in functions which is possbl through procedures.
Like - Oracle doesn't support DML in functions called in Select queries (using PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION will help).Not strictly true. and SQL query is considered to be DML, so a function could perform a query and then be used inside another query...

Difference between function and procedure

Hi all,
Please send me the difference b/w functions and procedures.
Regards
dskumar

A procedure may(1 or many) or may not return a
value,I have yet to see a procedure returning a value. Whilst it can pass out values using OUT and IN OUT parameters, it doesn't RETURN values.
A function always returns one value.A function may also include OUT and IN OUT parameters to pass back values but it's not recommended.

Hi jim ji,
thanks for your support but it still not work. I have set the system variable

And I also installed crystal 2008 and the integration kit in sequence....
I have installed the SAPGUI version 7.10 - could be this the reaseon?
Info: I have no problem with the sap integration kit. the problem is
in the wizard where i can choose the available connection for sap for
example the connection "SAP Tables, Cluster or Functions"

Difference in functional modules

Dear all,
What is the difference between functional modules FI_period_Determine and Period_day_Determine? Under which scenarios they are used?
Thanks and Regards,
vijay

hi
To check whether Posting date belongs to closed period we can use 2 FM's in sequence. Firstly call Function Module FI_PERIOD_DETERMINE .and Then call Function module FI_PERIOD_CHECK to check whether Period belongs to closed period or not
If you know year, month and fiscal year variant and you want to know the first date and end date of that period, you can apply function module "PERIOD_DAY_DETERMINE" in ABAP/4 to get them.
hope it helps
