What is diff b/w Include Structure and Append Structure at Database Level

Hi Experts,
Could you please let me know what is the main difference between .Include Structure and .Append Structure at SE11?
Thanks in advance and for good answer will give good points.
Sekhar

Hi,
1. Append Structures
Append structures can only be assigned to a single table.
Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)
In case of new versions of the standard table during upgrade, the append structures are automatically appended to the new version of the standard table
Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables
Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.
When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name,
a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.
Remember to activate.
2. Customizing Includes
Some of the SAP standard tables contains special include statements called Customizing includes. In contrast to Append structures,
Note that customizing includes are created by SAP, but the customer supply the fields for the include.
Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace
One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.
You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.
Try to take a look at table RKPF which uses the Customizing include CI_COBL (In an IDES system). Next try to add a field to CI_COBL, and activate it. If you go back to table RKPF you will se that your new field has been added.

Difference between include structure and Append structure

Could you please tell me
I have bsis table and it contains append structure in 4.7 SAP System.
my program in 4.7 system contains internal table which used same structure of bsis table ( which contains additonal field in its append structure ).
I need to have same table structure in 4.6 C because I am copying the same program into 4.6 system.
As I could not append structure to bsis table in 4.6C SAP system,
instead of that shall I add the field or Shall include the structure to run .
What is the difference between Include structure and Append structure ( I forgot )
How to achieve this please help me ?

Hi ,
As you know append structure can be used only once in table ,that to at last of all entries,
Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
Insert new fields in TAB,
Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.
Since the order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database, adding append structures or inserting fields in such append structures does not result in a table conversion.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
The new versions of the standard tables are imported after an upgrade, and the fields, foreign key definitions and search help attachments contained in the append structures are added to the new standard tables at activation.
A standard table contains the fields Field 1, Field 2 and Field 3. An append structure containing the fields ZZA and ZZB is defined for this table. After activating the table, the corresponding database table contains fields Field 1, Field 2, Field 3, ZZA and ZZB.
Further Remarks:
An append structure can only be assigned to exactly one table or structure. If you want to append the same fields to several tables or structures, you can store these fields in an include structure. In this case you must create an append structure for each of these tables or structures and include the include structure there.
Adding an append structure to an SAP standard table is supported by the Modification Assistant.
If you want to insert a field that is to be delivered with the R/3 standard in the next Release in the customer system in advance, you must include it in the table itself as a repair. If you include such a field in an append structure for the table, it will occur twice when the new standard table is imported. This will result in an activation error.
No append structures may be added to tables with long fields (data types VARC, LCHR or LRAW). This is because a long field must always be the last field in the table. However, structures with long fields can be enhanced with append structures.
If a table or structure with an append structure is copied, the fields of the append structure become fields of the target table. Foreign key definitions and search help attachments appended with the append structure are copied to the target table.
Foreign keys for the appended fields must be defined within the append structure. Fields of the table or structure assigned to the append structure may be defined when assigning the key field and foreign key field.
Indexes on the appended fields must be defined in the original table.
A table or structure TAB can only be enhanced with new foreign keys or search help attachments using an append structure. You therefore cannot change an existing foreign key definition or search help attachment for a field of TAB with the append structure.

What does mean You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form?

Hi guys,
If you check the official documentation for Smart forms in the Internet you will read that the initial pharagraphs of the text tell you "Tables - You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed". The link is the following: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
I was wondering if this means that I can use field symbols with dynamical number of columns to print a smart form. Because it would be great since the customer wanted a dynamical report depending on the week day it was (If Monday, there was only 12 columns, but if Friday, it will be 52 columns (1 column more for every day elapsed in the current week)). I had to create 5 different forms, but I think using field symbols I had spent less effort. Do you know if it is really possible? If not, then what does mean "You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form"?
Thank you in advance

Hi ,
The concept of static and dynamic tables in smartforms, means you can use template- ( static table as no of rows and columns is fixed). Also you can use table- dynamic as the no of rows will depend on your line items.
Hope this will help you to close this thread.
Also, try to find this answer in posted forums. Creating a new forum everytime just increases the network traffic. So please try to avoid it.

Difference between transfer structure and extraction structure?

Hi Gurus,
Structurally what is the difference between transfer structure and extraction structure?
I have observed that both these structures have the same fields.
Then why do we need two structures in source system?

Basics of Enterprise Structure and Personal Structure

Enterprise Structure and Personal structures are key structures for any organizations while implementing SAP. The enterprise structure is created by SAP FICO consultant and Personal Structure is created by a SAP HR Consultant for a Company.
Enterprise Structure consists of :
1. Company code
2. Personal Area
3. Personal Sub Area
Personal Structure Consists of:
1. Employee Group
2. Employee Subgroup
5 Basic Steps in Creating Enterprise Structure to Personal Structure:
Step 1:
Creation of Company Code, Personal Area and Personal Subarea
Step 2:
Creation of Employee Group and Employee Subgroup
Step 3
Assigning Personal Area to company code
Step 4
Assigning of Employee Group to respective employee Subgroup
Step 5
Creating a Number Range Interveal and Assigning the enterprise structure to personal structure in "NUMKR" Feature.
All Other Modules in SAP are dependent on these two structures so, we should be very sure and clear of creating this structures for a hassel free configuration.
Appreciate yoru Mail for any further details.

Personnel Calculation Rule:(PCR)
A personnel calculation rule is a frame of work instruction that is checked with the existing conditions and a resulting action is performed. The Personnel Calculation rule allows one wage type to be processed in different ways in payroll accounting. The value of the standard pay wage type should be used as a basis of valuation for hourly wage earners. The value of the standard pay wage type should be divided by the planned working hours before being used as a basis of valuation for salaried employees.
1 u2013 Hourly wage earner
2 u2013 Monthly wage earner
3 u2013 Salaried employee
Collective Agreement Provisions: (CAP) :
A standard agreement designates the same pay scale groups and level for both hourly wage earners and salaried employees, however the user must still be able to enter hourly or monthly values in the pay scale table.
1 u2013 Industrial workers / hourly wage
2 u2013 Industrial workers / monthly wage
3 u2013 Salaried employee
4 u2013 Non Pay scale employees
5 u2013 Public servant

What is diff b/w sy-index and sy-tabix

Hi all,
Can u plz give me the diff b/w sy-index and sy-tabix exactly and how it works.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
1.SY-INDEX
->Current loop pass
->In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
2.SY-TABIX
->Current line index
Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables.
The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.

COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.

SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
I think that it clears ur doubt.
Thanks,
Venkat.O

What are difficulty between oc4j included Jdeveloper and oc4j extended?

Hi all!
I don't know why i deploy application on oc4j included Jdeveloper when it's run ok but i deploy on Oc4j extented when it's run not ok.
I want to know the difficulty between oc4j included Jdeveloper and oc4j extended? How to config oc4j extented?
i've tried deploy appliction on oc4j extended. i get this error:

thank a lot!

The main difference is the version of OC4J. They do not often match. If the extended OC4J is a later version than the one packaged in JDeveloper, then applications developed in JDeveloper are not guaranteed to work in extended OC4J. It is always recommended
to develop and test against the OC4J in JDeveloper.
If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.2 make sure to use the right admin.jar (always point the path to the one in OC4J install ) in your OC4J connection.
In future release Oracle is trying to address such problems by allowing user to configure JDeveloper against a particular version of OC4J.

Flat structure,deep structure, and info structure

hi,
What is meant by flat ,deep ,info structures what is difference among them?

Flat structure:
If you have a structure with list of fields on it and You can have a structure with in the structure included
Deep structure:
If you have tabletype(internal table) included in the
structure
Flat structures contain only elementary data types with a fixed length (no internal tables, reference types, or strings).
The term deep structure can apply regardless of whether the structure is nested or not
The technical difference between deep structures and all others is as follows.
When you create a deep structure, the system creates a pointer in memory that points to the real field contents or other administrative information.
When you create a flat data type, the actual field contents are stored with the type in memory. Since the field contents are not stored with the field descriptions in the case of deep structures, assignments, offset and length specifications and other operations are handled differently from flat structures

What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database?

Hello,
anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
Regards,
Balaram

SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
The SQL Server advantages:
SQL Server holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
SQL Server is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
The Oracle Database advantages:
Oracle Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.
