Whant is the difference between role and group?

in fact. a group means the a special role that have no any assigned functions

Hi Kang
The difference betwen Roles and Groups:
Roles
Roles are the largest semantic unit within the content objects. A role is a folder hierarchy comprising other content objects (worksets, pages, iViews). The contents of a role are based on the company structure and information requirements of the users of a company. Roles are assigned to users. This means that users can only access the content that is relevant for them if they have the appropriate role.
Groups
Groups contain users falling under the same catagory. For example let's say that you have a set of roles, role x and role y. You have to assign role x to users of type a (let these be users who can only view your portal and cannot make changes) and role y to users of type b (let these users be administrators). Then you can add the users of type a to a group and assign the role x to them. Similarly you can add the users of type b to another group and assign the role y to them. This rids you of the task of having to assign the two roles to each user type individually.
Hope you got the difference now.
Warm Regards
Priya

Difference between role and profile

Hi All,
I need to know the difference between role and profile. Kindly let me also know
relevant T codes. Can Profiles exist without roles? If yes please let me know how to create them.
Thanks in Advance,
Kalyan

Kalyan,
A role is basically a container of authorizations and other related items.
A profile contains the actual authorizations once a role is generated. In addition a profile can be created from scratch using the classical method--transaction SU02. Roles are created via transaction PFCG.
Also take a look at the following threads:

Difference between Roles and Profiles

Hi,
What is difference between Roles and Profiles?
Thanx in advance..
jitender

Hi,
It is a simple hierarchy level difference for grouping levels of authorization and the need avoid maintenance on a large number of individual authorizations on a user level.
In SAP, authorizations are grouped together into profiles. These profiles usually represent some sort of functional access (i.e. Create customer master records). The profiles can then be allocated roles which group the individual functional access into a more abstract level of a role (i.e. accounts clerk). Roles are then assigned to users based on their specific responsibilities.

What is the difference between upgradation and migration.

Hi Guru's
what is the difference between upgradation and migration.
actuallly i involved in upgradation project, here my role is

2. go to BI .7 find the query;s ,give the query name and save the query ,
3. once save the query, again will come to 3.5 open the query , it will not open. this is my job here,
come to 7.0 check the query in analyzer also.
i am having littile bit confusion, how it will comes query in 7.0, why are u saving the query's in 3.5 and 7.0
query's already available in 7.0 why are u doing this work?
can i know the upgrades those objects, is it neccessary, if necessary how can i upgrade.

Hi,
I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
Hope this helps.

What's the difference between Mozilla and Firefox

what's the difference between MOZILLA and FIREFOX?

Firefox doesn't include the SeaMonkey suite. 
SeaMonkey is a separate program (not just a browser, but a suite) maintained outside the Mozilla Corporation.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey
<blockquote>SeaMonkey is a free and open source[3] cross-platform Internet suite. 
It is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite, based on the same source code. 
 
The development of SeaMonkey is community-driven, in contrast to the Mozilla Application Suite, which until its last released version (1.7.13) was governed by the Mozilla Foundation. The new project-leading group is the SeaMonkey Council.

What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

Logos XT is a networking middle-layer maintained by the LabVIEW Network Technologies and Security group. Logos XT provides a thin layer on top of TCP/IP to simplify some common network tasks.
The underlying foundation for NI networking is called Logos.
I believe that the basic idea is Logos is what is going on behind the scenes at the base level and Logos XT lets you build your own networking protocols on top of Logos. Logos XT would be used if you want to make your own networking protocol instead of using TCP/IP or UDP.

What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

Hi,
they can both return values.
FMs are mainly used when a routine is to be performed by many programs.
Subroutines (forms) are generally only executed within one program.
You can perform routines from other programs, but it's not often done.
both forms and FMs are reusable modularization units.
To distinguish we generally say that forms are used for internal modularization and
FMs are used for external modularization.
To decide on which to implement, consider whether you need the content to be used just for a limited program
or wheteher it can be called from many independent programs.
For the first purpose it is better to implement a form whereas for the second we implement an FM.
However, ABAP does not isolate the usage context.
That is; you can call a form from another program within whose code the form is not actually implemented.
However, this requires attention since the form may utilize global variables.
The same issue holds for FMs.
FMs are encapsulated in function groups and function groups may have global variables that can be globally
used by all FMs inside it.

HR deals with the INFOTYPES which are similar to Tables in General ABAP.
There are different ways of fetching data from these infotypes.
There are different areas in HR LIKE Personal Admn, Orgn Management, Benefits, Time amangement, Event Management, Payroll etc
Infotypes for these areas are different from one another area.
storing of records data in each type of area is different
LDBS like PNP are used in HR programing.
Instead of Select.. we use some ROUTINES and PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE.. etc
and in the case of Pay roll we use Clusters and we Import and Export them for data fetching.
On the whole Normal ABAP is different from HR abap.

Orgn related Infotypes start with HRP1000 to HRP1999.
All custom developed infotypes stsrat with PA9000 onwards.
In payroll processing we use Clusters like PCL1,2,3 and 4.
Instead of Select query we use PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE..
You have to assign a Logical Database in the attributes PNP.

And finally,
Few notes are below:
InfoSets in the HR Application
You can use SAP Query in HR to report on HR data. Queries are maintained as described in Creating Queries. The special features of queries created for HR are described in Maintaining Queries in the Human Resources Application. The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the described procedure inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes.
InfoSet management in SAP Query is also used for InfoSet Query. For further information, see Functions for Managing InfoSets.
If you want to create InfoSets for HR, you can use logical databases PNP, PNPCE, PAP, and PCH (see HR Logical Databases). The database you must use to create your InfoSet depends on the component in which the data you want to report on is stored.
The reports you can execute using InfoSets based on logical databases PNP (or PNPCE) or PCH are similar, but differ in that they can select different objects. The following table describes the connection between the logical database, and the infotypes you can include in an InfoSet. It also provides you with one or two examples of reports that you can execute using the appropriate InfoSets.
Logical database PNP/PNPCE* PCH PAP
Selection of Persons Objects from Personnel Planning Applicants
Infotypes that can be included in the InfoSet Infotypes for· Personnel Administration (0000-0999) · Time Management (2000-2999) · Payroll infotypes · Infotypes for Personnel Planning objects that can be related to persons If the object type is specified:· Infotypes for the object type · Infotypes for objects that can be related to the specified object typeIf the object type is not specified:· All infotypes · Infotypes for Recruitment (4000-4999)· Some infotypes for Personnel Administration (such as 0001 and 0002)
· Customer infotypes
Reporting examples · Selection of all persons who participated in a specific business event, output of prices for reserved business events · Selection of all persons assigned to a specific personnel area, output of qualifications held by these persons · Selection of all business events held in London in March, output of all persons who participated in these business events · Selection of all positions assigned to a specific organizational unit, output of all persons assigned to the positions · Selection of all applicants hired last year to work on special projects, output of addresses for the applicants selected
Logical database PNPCE (PNP Concurrent Employment) functions just like logical database PNP. The procedure for creating InfoSets is also the same. It only becomes significant if you work with Concurrent Employment.
Creating InfoSets
The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the procedure described so far in this section inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes. To set up an InfoSet for the HR application, proceed as follows:
1. On the initial screen for maintaining InfoSets, enter a name for the InfoSet and choose Create.
2. On the next screen, enter a name for the InfoSet and select one of the HR logical databases in accordance with your reporting requirements.
Customer infotypes can be created on all HR logical databases. In each individual case, therefore, you must decide which database to select so that you can report on customer infotypes.
This screen enables you to enter an authorization group. All of the queries that are subsequently created using this InfoSet can only be executed by persons who have this authorization group.
3. Choose .
This takes you to the Infotype Selection for InfoSet screen. You now have the option of creating field groups and assigning fields as required for non-HR InfoSets. Field groups that correspond to infotypes and already contain fields, however, are always created for HR InfoSets. The field groups are displayed in an overview tree in the top right section of the screen.
The infotypes that you included in the InfoSet are displayed in an overview tree on the left of the screen. The infotype fields that are already included in field groups are displayed in a different color, and the corresponding field group ID is displayed.
In the standard system, a field group is created automatically for each infotype that you included in the InfoSet (a field group corresponds to an infotype).
In the standard system, each field group contains the infotype-specific fields. To ensure that working with the InfoSet is as easy as possible, you are advised to restrict your use of fields in each field group to those you really require. This means you should remove fields that are not required.
An infotype's fields must only be assigned to the pertinent field group. Make sure this assignment is correct. If the assignment is incorrect, the InfoSet could be rendered unusable.
When an InfoSet is created, the following fields are transferred automatically to the first field group:
§ Logical database PNPCE or PNP Personnel number
§ Logical database PAP Applicant number
§ Logical database PCH Object ID, plan version, and object type
6. Determine the fields that must be included in the field groups of your InfoSet. If you require further information, see Assigning Fields to a Field Group.
If you want, you can change the default sequence of field groups and fields as required using Drag&Drop.
7. To save the InfoSet, choose .
8. To generate the InfoSet, choose .
On the Change InfoSet (InfoSet name) screen, you can choose Edit ® Change infotype selection to add more infotypes to the InfoSet, or to remove infotypes from the InfoSet. Remember to regenerate the InfoSet afterwards.
This screen also enables you to update InfoSets if, for example, the system contains new additional fields for specific key values. To do so, choose InfoSet ® Additional functions ® Update additional HR fields.
9. Go back to the initial screen for InfoSet maintenance.
10. Choose User group assignment.
11. Select a user group, and save your entry.

What is the difference between Campaign and Trade Promotion?

hi experts,
What is the difference between Campaign and Trade Promotion?
regards,
babu

Hi,
Campaign serve operative marketing planning. They describe actions that are carried out, for example mailing actions, product promotions, and telemarketing. Crieria such as target groups, products, documents, people responsible, and the budget are defined in the campaign for these activities.
Campaign are basically used for operative marketing planning and execution.
Trade Promotions are Marketing activity used by industries that sell into the retail channel or through brokers or wholesalers. A trade promotion takes place within a specific time period and aims to increase brand capital, brand awareness, and market share. It is also used to increase sales volume or to launch new products or product lines.
Trade promotions are structurally similar to other marketing objects, except that trade promotions are targeted at a key account.
A trade promotion has a header that provides overview information about the trade promotion, such as the intended key account, the product planning basis, the trade promotion objective, funds plan details, and trade promotion status.
Assignment blocks contain specific information pertaining to, for example, trade promotion dates, products, and causals.
For more information on Trade Promotion please go through the following link:

What's the difference between WorkflowTask and WorkflowJob in SAP MDM API?

Hi Support,
Could you tell me the differences between WorkflowTask and WorkflowJob in SAP MDM API? And which can represent a workflow in Workflows tab in MDM Date Manager.
Thanks & Regards,
Song

Hi Songxu,
Workflow Task: It is the task(workflow steps like Process, Approver etc) assigned to different user during Workflow. User's use the workflow tabs in Data Manager to view and process workflow tasks. see page 91/654 of Data Manager Guide.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8aaa42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMDataManager71.pdf
Workflow Job: Each workflow is invoked as a job that can consist of multiple records that move through the steps of a workflow (how many records are involved into your Workflow) as a group while simultaneously maintaining record-level granularity. Once the job has been launched, it moves automatically from step-to-step and from user-to-user, showing up in the inbound task queue in each useru2019s Workflows tab for disposition and processing.

What is the difference between imatch and icloud?

I purchased Imatch a few months ago-but I do not understand the difference between imatch and icloud. I have an Ipad, Iphone and appletv and am because I am not Tech Savvy at all, when I googled imatch vs icloud, I was completely overwhelmed with info and just want the basics!!!
Thanks guys!

First, iCloud and iTunes Match (not "iMatch") are not the same thing. Apple uses the term "iCloud" interchangably, but that is just confusing for most people, unfortunately.
Enabling iTunes Match is as simple pulling down the Store menu in iTunes and selecting "turn on iTunes Match." That's all the guidance there is. The process will then scan the iTunes library and "match" or "upload" all the tracks it can. The original tracks on the computer's internal HDD stay right where they are and are not changed in any way. Nor is the location of the iTunes library magically changed to the cloud.
I strongly suggest you stop being concerned with what the files in the iTunes Media folder look like and let iTunes manage the files. If you're going to use iTunes then you should only interact with the music through iTunes. Trying to manage the files in the Finder/Windows Explorer is only going to frustrate you. You can group albums together by editing the ID3 tags by highlighting the tracks of an Album and doing a Get Info...
So if you post back with some specific questions we will do our best to help you.

Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

Aren't they both used for designing applications?
And do one really need Essbase Studio?

Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio ^^^It is a bit confusing, isn't it? As far as I understand EPMA's role, it's a way to share common dimensions and data across multiple Oracle EPM products including Essbase, Planning, and HFM. I actually don't know if other products live in EPMA. What EPMA does not have is a nice way of sourcing or manipulating dimension and fact tables (or even files). Oh, there are interface tables, but you will write code/use the EPMA dimension utility to load dimensions. I have to say I've never tried to load data through EPMA so someone else is going to have to comment on that. Once dimensions are built, you can deploy Essbase (and other products) from common and database-specific dimensions.
Studio is the tool you would use to go against a data warehouse, or something awfully close to a data warehouse to build Essbase databases. It's for Essbase only -- Planning, HFM, etc. are not the targets of Studio's output.
What gets confusing/intriguing is that when EPMA deploys Essbase apps, it uses Studio under the covers to do so. Thus the interesting implementations where people use Studio (which is way more flexible than EPMA because it is a development tool as opposed to a dimension/data management app) to read the EPMA interface tables (and for all I know, the base EPMA tables) and build Essbase apps that way.
If you think there is overlap, I would agree with you, but you can see they really aren't the same.
And do one really need Essbase Studio?^^^You don't have to use Studio to build Essbase databases. You can go hog-wild in EAS with SQL load rules if you want, although at some point it probably will be easier/more straightforward to build it in Studio. Although Studio has been mentioned as the replacement for EAS for some time, I suspect the effort required to build a database in Studio will keep EAS around for quite a while or Studio Lite will have to come out. There's a lot to be said (sometimes) for the amazing flexibility EAS/Essbase have -- Studio requires a more methodical approach and EPMA has a very formal set of standards and methods.
Whew, I'm sorry, I wrote a book about this and I'll bet you get a bunch of differing opinions on this.
If you're interested in Studio, you might do well to pick up a copy of Glenn Schwartzberg's "Look Smarter Than You Are with Oracle Essbase Studio 11". I receive not a penny from its sale although I was one of the copy editors (hey, I got a mention in the acknowledgements). It's a good book and an excellent introduction to the tool.

Cameron Lackpour
