  • What's the difference between "overloading" and "overriding" in Java

    What's the difference between "overloading" and "overriding" in Java

    hashdata wrote:
    What is the real-time usage of these concepts...?Overriding is used when two classes react differently to the same method call. A good example is toString(). For Object it just returns the class name and the identityHashCode, for String it returns the String itself and for a List it (usually) returns a String representation of the content of the list.
    Overloading is used when similar functionality is provided for different arguments. A good example is [Arrays.sort()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#sort(byte%5B%5D)]: all the sort() methods do the same thing (they sort arrays), but one sorts byte-arrays, another one sorts int-arrays, yet another one sorts Object-arrays.
    By the way, you almost certainly mean "real-world" usage. "real-time" (and thus "real-time usage) means something entirely unrelated to your question.

  • 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.

    Look at the below link
    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.
    sample code
    START-OF-SELECTION.
    GET pernr.
    rp_provide_from_frst p0000 space pn-begda pn-endda.
    if pnp-sw-found EQ '1'.
    READ TABLE p0001 WITH KEY pernr = p0000-pernr.

    See the following threads
    non-cumulatives KF in reporting
    Re: use of non cumulative keyfigure
    Re: When do we use Non-Cumulative values?
    Key figures:
    1. Cumulative Vaules
    2. Non – Cumulative Values
    Cumulative Values:
    Cumulative Values are Keyfigures for which Keyfigure Values are must posted in every time unit that reported on (= time period – specific Values).
    Example:
    Revenue
    Non – Cumulative Values:
    Non – Cumulative Values are Keyfigures for which KeyFigures are only evaluated for selected time Periods.
    Cumulative Keyfigures With Exception Aggregation:
    It's a 'normal' KF (with summation, min or max as aggregation behaviour), but you set some exception in this behaviour...for example, you can say that a KF, normally aggregated by 'summation', have to show the max value (or the average, or '0' or something else), that is the 'exception aggregation' when you use it in combination with 0DOC_DATE (or other char), that is the 'exception aggregation char reference'...in this case OLAP processor give to you the possibility to see your KF with different behaviour depending from you use 0DOC_DATE (in our example, MAX) or something else (SUMMATION).
    Non – Cumulative keyfigure with Associated Single Delta:
    If you have a stock KF that is fed from only one (other) movement KF that can assume positive and negative sign.
    KF1 (initial) STOCK (non-***.) = 100
    KF2 flow = -30
    KF2 flow = 70
    KF1 (final) STOCK (non-***.) = 140
    Non-cumulative key figure with associated in and outflow:
    This is the case of 2LIS_03_BF KF stocks fields.
    Here, we have the same situation in point 2, but you will have not only ONE flow KF, but TWO, one dedicated to in and another one dedicated to out !
    You have to use this scenario if you have no KF that have positive and negative sign, but two KFs each one representing positive (in) and negative (out) logical sign!
    KF1 (initial) STOCK (non-***.) = 100
    KF2 (out))flow = 30
    KF3 (in)flow = 70
    KF1 (final) STOCK (non-***.) = 140

  • What is the difference between task and change request?

    Hi all
    What is the difference between task and change request?
    thanks all

    Dear Ispit,
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/19/3f5bf8a4b011d285090000e8a57770/content.htm">Request Types and Task Types</a>

    For more information about the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS), visit the following link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38ddff4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    Transport Request is generated in following scenarios:
    1. Customizing Request - When doing or changing some customization.
    2. WorkBench Request - When configuration is cross-client. Eg Generating new Table, making changes in access sequence, Abap development, etc.
    Transport request is not generated for Master Data. For eg: Customer Master, Material Master, price master, etc.
    Benefit of Transport Request:
    SAP Landscape normally has 3- Tier system:
    Development Server - Where customization takes place. Transport request is generated at this level & then first transported to Quality server for testing whether it meets the requirement or not. Once the requirement is met in Quality server then Request is transported from Development Server to Production Server (Actual / Live System)
    Quality Server - Mainly useful for testing.
    Production Server Actual / Live server, where the real transactions are created & posted.
    Procedure to Release & Transport Request:
    1. In development server, go to T.Code: SE10 & select the check box Modifiable & enter
    2. In the next screen, you will see list of transport request created.
    Note: Transport request consist of main request along with sub request. These sub request hold the object to be transported.
    3. Expand the main request & you will be able to view the sub requests attached to main request.
    4. First release the sub requests.
    Note: To release the request, select the request ni & click on release request individually (Do not select release all request)
    5. Next release main request.
    6. Once the request is released sucessfully, imform the basis person to import the request to QA server.
    or
    If the authority is with you, through T.Code: STMS, select development server --> select request no & release to QA server. Here when it pops up client no, user id & password, maintain it of QA server & release the request to QA server.

  • What is the difference between 'workbookk' and ' view'?

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between 'workbook' and 'view'. I check some document but I don't see there is big difference.
    Thanks.
    J.

    hi John,
    We use workbooks for excel formating,like font changes, lay out changes etc...
    Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks.
    They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
    Views are primarily used for BW Web Reports, it is similar to the concept of workbooks is for BEx.A local view can be accessed only within a workbook in which it was saved, where as a global view can be accessed globally in the system, it is not attached to a workbook. Only Global view can be used in BW Web Templates.
    u can seee the help doc for more details:

  • What is the difference between MOVE and WRITE TO ststement?

    Hi
    What is the difference between MOVE and WRITE TO ststement?
    When do we use both of them?
    Thank You

    Hi,
    <b>MOVE</b>
    Syntax
    MOVE source {TO|?TO} destination.
    destination {=|?=} source.
    Effect
    Both these statements assign the content of the operand source to the data object destination. The variants with the language element TO or the assignment operator = are valid for all assignments between operands that are not reference variables, and for assignments between reference variables for which the static type of source is more specific than or the same as the static type of destination(narrowing cast).
    Variants with the language element ?TO or the assignment operator ?= (casting operator ) must be used if the source and destination are reference variables and the static type of source is more general than the static type of destination (widening cast). For assignments between operands that are not reference variables, use of the question mark ? is not permitted.
    The data object destination can be any data object that can be listed at a write position, and the data object source can be a data object, a predefined function or a functional method (as of release 6.10). The data type of the data object destination must either be compatible with the data type of source, or it must be possible to convert the content of source into the data type of destination according to one of the conversion rules.
    Notes
    If source and/or destination are field symbols, then, as in all ABAP commands, the system works with the content of the data objects to which the field symbols point. The actual pointer content of a field symbol can only be changed using the statement ASSIGN or the addition ASSIGNING when processing internal tables (value semantics). If source and destination are reference variables, the reference contained in source is assigned to destination (reference semantics).
    Strings and internal tables are addressed internally using references. When assignments are made between strings and between internal tables (as of release 6.10), only the reference is transferred, for performance reasons. After the assignment, the actual string or the actual table body of the source as well as the target object are addressed (sharing). When the object is accessed to change it, the sharing is canceled and a copy of the content is made. The sharing is displayed in the memory consumption display of the ABAP debugger and in the Memory Inspector tool (as of release 6.20).

    WRITE {source|(source_name)} TO destination
                                 [int_format_options].
    Effect:
    This statement assigns the formatted content of the data object source, or the formatted content of the data object whose name is contained in source_name, to the data object destination. The data objects source_name and destination must be character type and flat. source_name can contain the name of the data object to be assigned in upper or lower case. If the data object specified in source_name does not exist, the assignment is not executed, and sy-subrc is set to 4.
    The statement WRITE TO has the same effect as the statement WRITE for lists. This statement formats the content of source or the source field specified in source_name as described in the field. It does not, however, store the result in an output area of a list in the list buffer, but instead stores it in a variable. The output length is determined by the length of the variable.
    The same additions int_format_options can be specified for formatting the content as in the statement WRITE for lists, except for NO-GAP and UNDER.
    System fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 The data object specified in source_name was found and the assignment was executed.
    4 The data object specified in source_name was not found and the assignment was not executed.
    For the static specification of source, sy-subrc is not set.
    Note:
    If destination is specified as an untyped field symbol or an untyped formal parameter, and is not flat and character-type when the statement is executed, this leads to an untreatable exception in a Unicode program. In non-Unicode programs, this only leads to an exception for deep types. Flat types are handled as character-type data types.
    Example:
    After the assignment, the variables date_short and date_long receive the current date in the order specified in the user master record. The variable date_long also contains the defined separators, as the output length is sufficiently long. The content of the variable date_mask is formatted according to the formatting addition DD/MM/YY.
    DATA: date_short(8) TYPE c,
          date_long(10) TYPE c,
          date_mask(8)  TYPE c.
    WRITE sy-datum TO: date_short,
                       date_long,
                       date_mask DD/MM/YY.
    Exceptions
    Non-Catchable Exceptions
    Cause: Negative length specified for offset/length
    Runtime Error: WRITE_TO_LENGTH_NEGATIVE
    Cause: Negative offset specified in offset/length
    Runtime Error: WRITE_TO_OFFSET_NEGATIVE
    Cause: Offset specified in offset/length specification is longer than the field length.
    Runtime Error: WRITE_TO_OFFSET_TOOLARGE

  • What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

    Hi!
    What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
    I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
    Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
    I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
    When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
    Any ideas how to solve that?
    Thank you in advance!

    Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
    + I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

  • What is the difference between start() and run()

    Hi:
    what is the difference between start() and the run()???
    in my app, i have
    Console.debug( "starting thread to listen for clients" );
    _server = new Server( this );
    _server.start();
    _server extends Thread..
    why everytime i use server.start(); my app will terminate on it is own, even though in my servr.run() method, i have a while loop
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code, that while loop will be in execution
    can someone let me know??
    thnx

    what is the difference between start() and the
    run()???start() is a method on Thread that tells it to start.
    run() is a method in the object that the thread executes.
    why everytime i use _server.start(); my app will
    terminate on it is own, Err.... I'm not convinced this is true. It'll throw an IllegalThreadStateException, if you try to restart an existing thread.
    If that's what you're saying.
    even though in my _servr.run()
    method, i have a while loopI don't see the connection. Are you saying that the while loop never terminates, and you don't see why the thread is terminating?
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code,
    that while loop will be in executionIf you call server.run() explicitly, then run() will be executed in the same thread that you called it in.

  • What is the difference between exists and in

    hi all
    if i have these queries
    1- select ename from emp where ename in ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    and
    2- select ename from emp where exists ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    what is the difference between exists and in is that only when i use in i have to bring the field name or what.... i mean in a complex SQL queries is it will give the same answer
    Thanks

    You get two entirely different result sets that may be the same. Haah! What do I mean by that.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    FOO
    1 row selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where exists(select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.So, why is this? the WHERE EXISTS means 'if the next is true', much like where 1=1 being always true and 1=2 being always false. In this case, where exists could be TRUE or FALSE, depending on the subquery.
    WHERE EXISTS can be useful for something like testing if we have data, without actually having to return columns.
    So, if you want to see if an employee exists you might say
    SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE EXISTS( select * from emp where empid = 10);
    If there is a row in emp for empid=10, then you get back 1 from dual;
    This is what I call an 'optimistic' lookup because the WHERE EXISTS ends as soon as there is a hit. It does not care how many - only that at least one exists. It is optimistic because it will continue processing the table lookup until either it hits or reaches the end of the table - for a non-indexed query.

  • What's the difference between thunderbolt and mini displayport?

    I'm trying to connect my Macbook with a monitor and I'm thinking of what cable to get. I will have to connect using a (Thunderbolt to HDMI cable) or a (mini displayport to HDMI cable).
    I was wondering what's the difference between Thunderbolt and mini displayport
    Thanks

    @bontistic: it is not true that only the Macbook Air supports Thunderbolt. All models(!) support thunderbolt: also the Macbook Pro's and Mini's. Eg.: http://www.apple.com/nl/macbookpro/features.html#thunderbolt
    My Macbook Pro from 2011 already supported Thunderbolt...
