How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

HI All,
I just wanted to know how do we find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job codes .
Thanks In Advance
Sunny

Hi,
Here is an idea for your request.
Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
Choose following characters into your objects:
InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV ) - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
*Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
*BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ, ( this will give you the name of the queries)
In key figures choose, Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
(number for query run)
Create a condition , for top 20.
Hope this helps.

What are the interfaces done in Shipping

hello SD gurus,
i am new to SAP n i am attending interview in my first interview itself i was posed a question . what are the interfaces u have done in Shipping?
so i request any one to help me in this regard wich not helps here but to prepare my self to make ready with all other topics also plz help me in answering this question even not exactly but also related
bye
venu

Dear Venu,
dont worry about it. Well interfaces are nothing but the sap system talks with a non sap system which the client has been using. Like we have an interface to manage the shipping functionality in our system called nistevo. The data from the delivery flows to that particular interface through BAPI's or some program so that the other system understands the information sent and it starts working. Also the confirmations from that other system are updated in SAP using these Zee programs. In a nutshell, interfaces are non sap systems which talk with sap.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
2.what effect it does on the ume options to be choosen??
3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

What are the major situations to go to the short dump in abap programming?

What are the major situations to go to the short dump in abap programming?

Hi,
The major situations that an ABAP Program can result a dumb are as follows...
1) Poor coding i.e., if the data in the data base is less, then even a poor code can give you the result. But when you transport the program into Production, then there the same program will give you a dump, resulting 'TIMED OUT' error. So performance tunning is required for each and every program.
2) while calling a function module.
3) extracting of data into fields which are not type casted.
4) in case of x/y value, one should check the value of 'y' should not be zero, else a dump will result.
these are few which i can give for time being........

What are the various system variabels in ABAP

What are the various system variabels in ABAP?

u can view all the system variables in SYST TABLE Also   ...............
ABAP System Fields
ABAP system fields are always available in ABAP programs. The runtime system fills them according to context. They can then be used in programs to query the system status. System fields are variables but you should always treat them as though they were constants, and only read them. If you change their values, important information for the flow of the program may be lost. In exceptional circumstances, system fields may be overwritten in an ABAP program to control the system for example, SY-LSIND (for navigating to a detail list).
With one exception the names and data types of the system fields are stored in the ABAP Dictionary in the SYST structure and realized as components of the predefined structure SY in ABAP programs.
The system field SY-REPID is not part of SYST or SY. Instead, every program contains the predefined constants SY-REPID and SYST-REPID, which both contain the name of the corresponding program. Furthermore, there are two predefined types of the same name, SY-REPID and SYST-REPID.
All system fields are addressed using SY field name and their types using SYST field name.
                                                                                Alphabetical Overview
The following table lists the definitions of the structure SYST in the ABAP Dictionary alphabetically. The character in the first column indicates how you can use the corresponding system field in ABAP programs. Name is the name of the component, Type is the Dictionary data type, and Length is the field length defined in the Dictionary. The Use column shows in which environment the system fields are set. The Description indicates the content.

SY-UNAME
Logon name of user, for example KELLERH, BC400-01.
Date and Time Information
The following system fields are always set automatically. If necessary, the GET TIME statement synchronizes the application server time with that of the database server and writes it to the system field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system fields for the local time zone, that is SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and SY-ZONLO are also reset.
SY-DATLO
Local date of user, for example 19981129, 19990628.
SY-DATUM
Current (application server) date, for example 19981130, 19990627.

SY-ZONLO
Time zone of user, for example CET, UTC.
Information on the Current ABAP Program
SY-CALLD
SY-CALLD contains SPACE if the program is the first and only program in a call chain. SY_CALLD contains 'X' if the program is a called program in a call chain (see ABAP Calls Overview).
·        SY-CALLD is set to X in a program called using CALL TRANSACTION, CALL DIALOG, or SUBMIT AND RETURN.
·        SY-CALLD is set to SPACE in a program called using LEAVE TO TRANSACTION, entering a transaction code on a screen, and processing batch input folders.
·        With SUBMIT (without RETURN) SY-CALLD retains the previous value.
SY-CPROG
In externally called procedures, the name of the calling program, otherwise the name of the current program. If an externally called procedure calls another external procedure, SY-CPROG keeps the name of the first main program and is not given the name of the main program of the further caller.
SY-DBNAM
With executable programs this is the linked logical database.
SY-DYNGR
Screen group of current screen. You can assign several screens to a common screen group. You can use this, for example, to modify all of the screens in the group in a uniform way.
SY-DYNNR
Number of current screen During the selection screen processing, SY-DYNNR contains the screen number of the current selection screen. During list processing, SY-DYNNR contains the number of the container screen. While a subscreen is being processed, SY-DYNNR contains its screen number. This also applies to tabstrips.
SY-LDBPG
With executable programs, the database program of the linked logical database.
SY-REPID
Name of current ABAP program. With externally called procedures this is the name of the procedures main program.
If SY-REPID was transferred to an external procedure as an actual parameter before Release 6.10, the formal parameter was not given the name of the caller, but the name of the procedures main program. SY-REID had to be transferred to an auxiliary variable before the call or you had to use SY-PROG.
As of Release 6.10, SY-REPID is a separate constant that is no longer part of the structure SYST or SY. It can be transferred to external procedures directly.
SY-TCODE
Name of current transaction code.
Background Processing
SY-BATCH
SY-BATCH is set to X in an ABAP program running in the background. Otherwise it is empty.
Batch Input
SY-BINPT
SY-BINPT is set to X during processing of batch input folders and in ABAP programs called with CALL TRANSACTION USING. Otherwise it is empty.
·         OPTIONS FROM in the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement can set SY-BINPT to empty for the whole program execution, as well as at the end of the BDC data.
·         In CATT procedures, SY-BINPT is always empty.
                                                                                ABAP Programming
Constants
SY-ABCDE
Contains the Alphabet. Can be used to access individual letters independently of the codepage by specifying offset.
SY-ULINE
Contains a horizontal line with length 255. Can be used when creating the list.
SY-VLINE
Contains a vertical line (|). Can be used when creating the list
Loops
SY-INDEX
SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes in DO and WHILE loops, including the current loop pass.
Character Strings
SY-FDPOS
Found location for operations with character-type fields.
·        If the operators CO, CN, CA, NA, CS, NS, CP, NP are used in comparisons, SY-FDPOS is assigned offset values depending on the comparison result.
·        SEARCH FOR sets SY-FDPOS to the offset of the found search string.
Internal Tables
SY-TABIX
Current line in an internal table. With the following statements SY-TABIX is set for index tables. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is not filled or it is set to 0.
·        APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last table row, that is the total number of entries in the target table.
·        COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or appended table row. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current table row at the beginning of every loop pass. After leaving a loop, SY-TABIX is set to the value it had before entering the loop. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table row read. If no row is found with binary search while reading, SY-TABIX contains the index of the next-highest row or the total number of rows +1. If no row is found with linear search while reading, SY-TABIX is undefined.
·        SEARCH 0). Each time an interactive list event occurs, the system automatically increases SY-LSIND by 1. SY-LSIND can be changed in the ABAP program to navigate between detail lists. Changes to SY-LSIND are not taken into account until the end of the list event. Therefore, any manipulation of SY-LISND should be done using the last command of the processing block.
SY-LSTAT
ID for list levels within the program. SY-LSTAT can be filled with values during list creation in the ABAP program. The value valid when the list is completed is saved with the list. In the case of an interactive list event, SY-LSTAT is set to the value it was assigned during the creation of the list from which the event takes place. SY-LSTAT is no longer maintained and should therefore no longer be used.
SY-STACO
Number of the first displayed column of the list from which the event was triggered. Counting starts at 1.
SY-STARO
Number of the upper-most displayed row of the upper-most page of the list, from which the event was triggered. Counting begins at 1. This does not include the page header.
Printing Lists
When printing lists, the spool and runtime systems require certain internal information, which is available in the following system fields and is set during print activation.
SY-CALLR
Contains a value that displays where printing was started, for example NEW-PAGE for program-controlled printing or RSDBRUNT for printing from the selection screen.
SY-PRDSN
Contains the name of the spool file during printing.
SY-SPONO
Contains the name of the spool number during printing.
SY-MAROW, SY-MACOL
The SET MARGIN statement fills the system fields SY-MAROW and SY-MACOL, which determine the number of lines on the upper margin and the number of columns on the left margin when printing.

The print parameters are transferred to the spool system by the runtime system in a structure of dictionary type PRI_PARAMS. Before this structure was used, its purpose was served by system fields. Today a subset of the PRI_PARAMS structure is still written to system fields with the same names when printing is activated. This information is redundant and should not be used.
Messages
If you execute the MESSAGE statement, the following system fields are set. If you execute the MESSAGE RAISING statement in function modules and methods, these fields are also set in the calling program, if it handles the exception.
SY-MSGID
SY-MSGID contains the message ID.
SY-MSGNO
SY-MSGNO contains the message number.
SY-MSGTY
SY-MSGTY contains the message type.
SY-MSGV1,,SY-MSGV4
SY-MSGV1 to SY-MSGV4 contain the field contents that are used for the messages placeholders.
Special Actions that Fill Message Fields
·        If you request database locks using the ENQUEUE function module, the field SY-MSGV1 contains the name of the user who holds the lock, in the case of the FOREIGN_LOCK exception.
·        IN the case of CALL TRANSACTION or CALL DIALOG with the USING addition, a message displayed during the called screen sequence is returned in the fields SY-MSGID, SY-MSGTY, SY-MSGNO, SY-MSGV1, ... , SY-MSGV4.
·        During Remote Function Call (RFC), error messages are transferred from the remote system to the calling system and SY-MSGID, SY-MSGTY, SY-MSGNO,SY-MSGV1, SY-MSGV2, SY-MSGV3, SY-MSGV4 are set. If short dumps or type X messages occur, the system also sets the fields.
                                                                                Internal System Fields
Internal system fields are only for internal use in the ABAP runtime environment and are defined in the kernel. Under no circumstances must they be overwritten in ABAP programs and they should also not be read (processed).

What are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?

Can anybody tell me what are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?
In my opinion, an active object is compiled and system wide available, that means the system do not have to compile the program again before run or use the object. While An inactive object is not system wide available and every time you run an inactive object, firstly the abap runtime will have to generate a tempory runtime object and this inactive object can not seen by others.
Am I right? Can anybody kindly tell me other differences?

Hi,
"When it is inactive, it is like it would not exist at all:" no - it's like it only exists to you
"If we just saved that one means it is stored in application server not in database": no - the inactive version is also stored in the database. You can log off and log on and it will still be there, in its inactive status.
"Only active objects can be executed.": no - inactive objects can be executed by you
When you create or modify a program, it is inactive until you activate it.
With a change, there are two versions of the program stored in the database - the active version (as it was before you made your change), and the inactive version. If you attempt to run the program, you'll run the inactive version - the one with your changes. Everyone else on the system will run the active version.
In this way, you can make changes without affecting anyone else.
Once you activate your program, then the inactive version becomes the active version.
With a create, there is no active version, until you hit the activate button. This means ONLY you can run the program.
An additional benefit of this model, is that if you make a change, save it, and then change your mind without activating, you can recover the active version into the editor, using version management.
A downside is that sometimes you have to activate your change before you can test it, if it interacts with other, active, programs.

Kumar

What are the steps to optimise ABAP code

What are the steps to optimise ABAP code, that is how to increase the performance of a code?

Hi
Welcome to SDN forum
1) Dont use nested select statements
2) If possible use for all entries in addition
3) In the where addition make sure you give all the primary key
4) Use Index for the selection criteria.
5) You can also use inner joins
6) You can try to put the data from the first select statement into an Itab and then in order to select the data from the second table use for all entries in.
7) Use the runtime analysis SE30 and SQL Trace (ST05) to identify the performance and also to identify where the load is heavy, so that you can change the code accordingly
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d0db4c9-0e01-0010-b68f-9b1408d5f234
ABAP performance depends upon various factors and in devicded in three parts:
1. Database
2. ABAP
3. System
Run Any program using SE30 (performance analys) to improve performance refer to tips and trics section of SE30, Always remember that ABAP perfirmance is improved when there is least load on Database.
u can get an interactive grap in SE30 regarding this with a file.
also if u find runtime of parts of codes then use :
Switch on RTA Dynamically within ABAP Code
*To turn runtim analysis on within ABAP code insert the following code
SET RUN TIME ANALYZER ON.
*To turn runtim analysis off within ABAP code insert the following code
SET RUN TIME ANALYZER OFF.
Always check the driver internal tables is not empty, while using FOR ALL ENTRIES
Avoid for all entries in JOINS
Try to avoid joins and use FOR ALL ENTRIES.
Try to restrict the joins to 1 level only ie only for tables
Avoid using Select *.
Avoid having multiple Selects from the same table in the same object.
Try to minimize the number of variables to save memory.
The sequence of fields in 'where clause' must be as per primary/secondary index ( if any)
Avoid creation of index as far as possible
Avoid operators like <>, > , < & like % in where clause conditions
Avoid select/select single statements in loops.
Try to use 'binary search' in READ internal table. Ensure table is sorted before using BINARY SEARCH.
Avoid using aggregate functions (SUM, MAX etc) in selects ( GROUP BY , HAVING,)
Avoid using ORDER BY in selects
Avoid Nested Selects
Avoid Nested Loops of Internal Tables
Try to use FIELD SYMBOLS.
Try to avoid into Corresponding Fields of
Avoid using Select Distinct, Use DELETE ADJACENT

What are the return values in component interface

Hi,
i need to know what are the different return values while testing(saving the component interface in create or get key) the component interface.

Return value for create is a Boolean value: True if component was successfully created, False otherwise. The return value for get is a boolean value: True if component was successfully retrieved, False otherwise.
