What is the difference between the DataSource types in BI?

Hello,
Can someone please explain what is the difference between the four types of DataSources: DataSource for transaction data and DataSource for master data which contains DataSource for attributes, DataSource for texts and DataSource for hierarchies and explain and demonstrate at which scenario I will use each one?

When you load data into Cube/ODS, i.e. Transactional data, and you load data into it from Transaction Datasources.
For every Infobject there is Master data associated with it, and Attributes, Texts and hierarchy are types of Master Data.
Say Vendor is InfoObject, and its master data:
Vendor Vendor Desc
1 One
2 Two
Now in Transactional data Vendor 1 can be having multiple entries, and master data contacin master data of that person. Like if u go to some store, your address and personal info is going to save ones, and master data, and next time when you order something your personal details comes from master data, and whatever you buy comes under transaction data. Now with respect to you there may be many attributes, like address, contact number, and so on....and text is what which is going to describe in short who is this person. HIerarchy could be some chain, will tell how you r related to some other person, may be like if someone referred you.

What's the difference between the 2 activex server interface types

Hi,
i have a problem with a LabView ActiveX-Server i wrote. This is a little test application with 2 ActiveX-Servers and a VC++ Application. The first server opens the serial resource and sends it as variant to VC. VC sends the variant then back to the second server where i want to communicate with a serial device. When i access the second server through the LabView.Application interface everything is fine. But when i'm trying to access the exe directly with [VI-Name].vi (i think this is called run interface) i get an error that my resource for the serial interface is not correct.
Want is the difference between the two interface types and how can i solve the problem?
Thanks

The path of a main VI changes after it is compiled into executable. For example, the original VI is at
c:\temp\test\main.vi,
after building it into executable (say the executable directory is exe), the path to main.vi then changes to
c:\temp\test\exe\main.exe\main.vi
Sometimes in order to correctly reference some relative information, the "main.exe" need to be removed from the path. If you are accessing main.vi at development time, then the correct path should be the longer one during runtime.

What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and the 11 i

What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and 11i?

Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
    If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
step1: I creat a sales order.
step2: run MRP for A.
step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
    Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
    If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?

What is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function

hi,
what is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function module.

Hi
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.

What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

Hi, I have a question about account assignment category.I hope someone give me the answer , and I would appreciate it.
    as you know, there are so many account assignment categories (e.g. A:asset,K:cost center)in sap customizing,when we want to purchase asset, we will input A to the field of account assignment category in purchase order.
     When will we input E or M in purchase order? What will it imply when we input E or M in purchase order? What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password? I am locked out of my phone.

What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password? I am locked out of my phone.

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but a passcode to unlock an iOS device is normally 4 digits long (so is a 4 digit code), though you can make it alphanumeric and longer (so effectively becomes a password).
If you don't know the passcode to unlock your phone or it's showing the disabled screen then there are instructions on this page for how to reset a device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you should then be able to restore/resync your content to it.

What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and

What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and
Invoices/Excise Invoices? Also I understand that we can combine 2~3
invoices and can create one commercial invoice? If it is possible, how
to create the same?
cheers
shalsa007....

Hello,
A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. Commercial invoices are utilized by customs officials to determine the value of the goods in order to assess customs duties and taxes.
In general there is no standard form for a commercial invoice although they tend to contain many of the following features:
     seller's contact information
     buyer's contact information
     consignee's contact information (if it is different from the buyers)
     invoice date
     a unique invoice number
     sales terms (usually in incoterm format)
     payment terms
     currency of sale
     full quantities and description of merchandise (Generally this includes unit price and total price. Product descriptions should be consistent with the buyer's purchase order. Including the Harmonized System commodity codes can be helpful, especially in countries that are WTO members.)
Excise invoice Original for Buyer copy, whether prices are inclusive or exclusive of excise duty.
The invoice in which the Excise duties are included.
As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of manufactured goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report on fortnightly / monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose, which record all the transactions including movement of goods, cenvat credit available and cash balance available.
In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating, extracting and printing excise invoice.

As to the data type of the data type of the difference between two date type of datas

Hi,
I have a question about the data type of the difference between two date type of datas.
There are two date type of datas as:
SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME
SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME
I try to use the following SQL Script in Oracle SQL*Plus as:
SELECT CASE
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:00:00.000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'
ELSE '3+ Hours'
END
FROM SSHIPMENTS;
The error message of "Invalid Number" for the '000 01:30:00.000' happens.
I don't know if the data type of the interval is wrong.
Many Thanks,
Cathy

SELECT CASE
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss')) < '010000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss'))< '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'
ELSE '3+ Hours'
END
FROM SSHIPMENTS;
just try it out..
