What is the difference between Data Warehousing and Big Data?

What is the difference between Big Data and
Data Warehousing? are they the same? similar? if no, then when to use each of them?
Any link to a paper that describes the difference?!

Big Data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used tools to capture, manage and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. But Data-warehouse is a collection of data marts representing historical data from different
operations in the company.
It means Big Data is collection of large data in a particular manner but Data-warehouse collect data from different department of a organization. However Data-warehouse require efficient managing technique. Conceptually these are same only at one factor that
they collect large amount of information
For Big Data - You can start researching on HDInsight and for Datawarehouse check MSBI

What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

Hi raja,
data base objects means u can have the presence of these objects in the database.So the tables,searchhelps,structures,lockobjects comes under these ones.
Runtime objects are created and destroyed after the program ends, any changes we make to them are temporary only.

What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.

What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality

Hi Experts,
What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality.
If we want to implement IFRS, I think New GL functionality is very helpful, but why sap is recommending only for ECC6.0 new GL functionality, Eventhough this functionality is available in ECC5.0.

What's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification?

A friend has been bugging me about this, does anyone know what's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification" in an iPhone app?

In a nutshell, local notifications are popup notifications from applications on your phone, based on data that's already on the local phone. Push notifications are popup notifications you get when new info (like an email, tweet, or update from something like Facebook) gets pushed to your device from a server.

What's the difference between FM 'UPLOAD' and FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_T'

What's the difference between FM 'UPLOAD' and FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
thanks!

hi,
Generally FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' is used for reading Excel sheet i.e, either row wise or column wise . where as WS_UPLOAD will read the entire data in to an internal table in a file format.
for illustration as how it is used check this out

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

2.What is Format Payments (SEPA Unstructured)?

The customer is checking Note.791226.1.
However, he says that he cannot understand these two differences.
Please teach me.
Thanks.

From the European Payments Council website:
Remittance information: structure the unstructured
The SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme permits the end-to-end carrying of remittance data on a structured or unstructured basis appropriate to the nature of the payment (the remittance information usually contains details of the contract underlying the transaction such as an invoice number, for example). The length of the remittance information in the SCT Scheme is fixed at a standard length of 140 characters and banks are obliged to pass on the full remittance information.
The EPC supports a proposal developed by the European Association of Corporate Treasurers (EACT), which allows companies to agree on a structure for the remittance information. The EACT suggestion on how to structure the "unstructured" remittance fields allows companies exchanging a credit transfer to agree, among other, on information to be transmitted in a specific manner. Banks will carry remittance information structured in such an agreed way unaltered throughout the process chain.

What is the difference between smart forms and scripts.?

what is the difference between smart forms and scripts.?

Differences between Smartforms and SAPscript
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
d) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
e) Smartforms can create web enable forms like XML
f) smartforms itself contine subroutine pools need not to main separetly like in case of scripts
Request you to refer the following links
www.sap-img.com/smartforms/smartform-sapscripts.htm
www.erpgenie.com/abap/smartforms_sapscript.htm
Sapscript vs Smartforms
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated
Scripts are client dependent whereas smartforms aren't.
Upto 99 main windows are possible in scripts and only one in smarforms.
To create multiple main windows in scripts, you just have to give the window type as MAIN whnever you create a window.
Scripts still exists but smartforms are in use from 4.6c version, now the lastest version of these two is adobe forms
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaptation of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
is my understanding till here correct?
Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
can redo-log files not store this information?
in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
kindly clarify my doubt.
thank you.

This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.

What is the difference between message type and element

hi,
When we create a new variable in BPEL we get the option to create 'simple', 'message type', 'element'
I would like to know what is the difference between message type and element.
thanks
Yatan

A message is part of the service and is usually assigned to one of the operations in the wsdl. For example getPhoneNumer() operation may have an input message of personInput and output of phoneNum. These messages would have a type...maybe of string or decimal or a complex type with multiple values.
An element is typically a complex type that could be defined in an xsd file.
When you create a variable in the bpel, you can declare it as a message or a simple type or an element. As I understand it, the simple types are pre-defined in the schema namespace such as string, decimal, date, etc.
The elements are defined in the xsd files or wsdls and can be a combination of strings, dates, etc or other stuff as well.
The messages are defined in the wsdl as part of the input/output but they are typically assigned a type just like other variables you create.
