What is BW Front-end and Whats BW Back-end? Technica ? Functional?

Hi Gurus,
Can some one throw light on the diff between a BW Front-end and BW BAck-end? How will u diff the responsibilities of a Functional BW Consultant and Technical BW Consultant?
thanks
kishore karnati

Hi,
BW Front end is the one that deals with reporting. Eg: BEx
BW back end is the one that deals with the components that stores data which is used for the reporting purpose.
Eg: R3
Functional consultant comes into picture when there is a need to understand the functional aspects of a requirement, say for example, you have a requirement to use Sales Order in your BW application, as a pure BW person, you wont know what a Sales Order is about. A functional consultant has the ability here to map the sales order requirement in the BW application. This means that, he knows what field and what table this sales order relates to. This way, a functional consultant maps the user requirements to the technical detail in the system.
A pure BW consultant is one who knows how to setup data extraction from source system , how to build various components in a BW system, how to schedule a load, how to troubleshoot in case of any issues in the BW application.
Hope this helps..
Assign points if this helps...
Thanks,
Raj

  • Portal front end and R/3 back end

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to debug R/3 backend  from the front end Portal. I want to stop at the R/3 program when I click a link in the front end portal....
    Thanks

    HI Ricky,
    This document is for Web Dynpro application accessing backend but maybe it will work with any portal application...

    Put the scene that you want to stay in one place on the timeline on a video track above the one you are editing, in the location you want it to be on the timeline, and then lock the track.

  • Hi, my MacBook Pro has become very slow... what could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

    Hi, my MacBook Pro is working very slowly.. what could be causing it and what can I do to fix it??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • What are dyanmic internal tables and what s the exact use of forall entries

    what are dyanmic internal tables and what s the exact use of forall entries?

    hi,
    <u><b>dynamic internal table.</b></u>
    http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid21_gci912390,00.html
    http://www.sap-img.com/ab030.htm
    <u><b>
    FOR ALL ENTRIES</b></u> is an effective way of doing away with using JOIN on two tables.
    You can check the below code -
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR AUGDT
    FROM BSEG
    INTO TABLE I_BSEG
    WHERE BUKRS = ....
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR BLART BLDAT
    FROM BKPF
    INTO TABLE I_BKPF
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_BSEG
    WHERE BUKRS = I_BSEG-BUKRS
    AND BELNR = I_BSEG-BELNR
    AND BLDAT IN SO_BLDAT.
    *******************************8
    look another example
    what is the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES
    1. INNER JOIN
    DBTAB1 <----
    > DBTAB2
    It is used to JOIN two DATABASE tables
    having some COMMON fields.
    2. Whereas
    For All Entries,
    DBTAB1 <----
    > ITAB1
    is not at all related to two DATABASE tables.
    It is related to INTERNAL table.
    3. If we want to fetch data
    from some DBTABLE1
    but we want to fetch
    for only some records
    which are contained in some internal table,
    then we use for alll entries.
    1. simple example of for all entries.
    2. NOTE THAT
    In for all entries,
    it is NOT necessary to use TWO DBTABLES.
    (as against JOIN)
    3. use this program (just copy paste)
    it will fetch data
    from T001
    FOR ONLY TWO COMPANIES (as mentioned in itab)
    4
    REPORT abc.
    DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
    bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
    END OF itab.
    DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.
    itab-bukrs = '1000'.
    APPEND itab.
    itab-bukrs = '1100'.
    APPEND itab.
    SELECT * FROM t001
    INTO TABLE t001
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
    WHERE bukrs = itab-bukrs.
    LOOP AT t001.
    WRITE :/ t001-bukrs.
    ENDLOOP.
    Hope this helps!

  • TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

    My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter.  I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
    I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.  I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone.  Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Only you can decide what's critical to back up.  One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
    You might try going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll), then look at the size of your next backup.  If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.

    Dear Apple team,
    I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
    When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
    My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
    Please help me to be a good fan of apple.

  • What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
    For your problem:
    # [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
    # If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

  • What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?

    What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do? I think it works in the Security Mechanism of Java as a Byte Code Verifier (or atleast as a part of the Byte Code Verifier)..
    Your thoughts please..?

    What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?It's a concept. It means that the executed code (of applets, Webstart apps) has restricted access rights to System resources. So if it tries anything evil, it won't be able to.

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.
