What is the significance of ACTIVATE in SAP?

what is the concept of Activate in SAP? there are objects like report that must be activated. but then there are objects like an SAP-Script that is just saved in TC SE71. Why? what's the difference? similarly, when tables are created and maintained, they're activated but when their Authorization group etc is changed or maintained,  the settings only need to be saved... I'm a beginner level ABAPer and need your guidance. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Activation is probably the most imp thing to do in SAP.
Tables need to be activated so that the changes which you have done in the tables are reflected, but in case of settings,, just saving them is enough... In settings you are only manipulating the things and not adding anything new.
Once you activate, then only the memory for the constants and variables and stuff is allocated.
Incase , you modify an activated code, it turns into an inactivated state, and you may not get all the functionality that you desire from your code.
So its very important to activate.

  • What is the significance of this setting..?

    Dear All,
    Can you please tell me what is the significance of the following settings in the Availability check configuration.
    IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Availability check & TOR - Availability check - Availability check with ATP Logic or Against planning - Define default settings.

  • What is the significance of having Ver 1 and Ver 2 in a Bal Sheet?

    Hi,
    1. What is the significance of having Version 1 and Version 2 in a Balance Sheet(Income Statement)?
    Any real life significance of these versions?
    2. I had a previous question which was not answered, can verify if having version 1 and version 2 in a query addresses that problem:
    u201C Is there a way to compare two different income statements (or two Bal Sheets) for say, Year 2005, if Income statement 1 is from R3 but Income statement 2 is from a non-sap system. i.e. to create a variance for them as a means of reconciliation? u201C
    If Version 1 and Version 2 in a balance sheet does not deal with this, can you help with it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for the response.
    Does this versioning process also takes place in Balance Sheet or it is something done only for Income Statements?
    Is this the reason why some queries have varaibles to enter Version 1 and Version 2?
    If Version 1 and Version 2 are from the same datasource, and you bring all into a DSO, what will be the advantage to separate the Version 1 and Version 2 data different cubes?
    To help me get your response well, is the Versioning concept used in addressing the other part of my question:
    i.e.  if having version 1 and version 2 in a query addresses that problem:
    u201C Is there a way to compare two different income statements (or two Bal Sheets) for say, Year 2005, if Income statement 1 is from R3 but Income statement 2 is from a non-sap system. i.e. to create a variance for them as a means of reconciliation? u201C
    If Version 1 and Version 2 in a balance sheet does not deal with this, how do you address this?
    Thanks

    Hello Dhruvin,
    I think you shall have a look on the current help about this issue as it is a Complex ssue meaning "extense" and also one of the basic Points on the customizing and deployment of a CRM System:
    Organizational Management in SAP CRM - SAP Library
    Basically the Sales Area Data identifies your BP in your Sales Organization.
    You define your sales organization so its fits your business requirements and real structure. f
    Having this information properly defined helps to link data between SD and CRM so you can have for example: - The proper price for a customer when creating and Oportunity/ Sales Order.
                  - To restrict the access of the information of an employee.
    Hope these hints help..

  • Distribution function - What is the significance of "USER" field in Distribution template?

    Hi,
    I am working with the distribution functionality in BPC 10.
    Here i am saving the reports in a folder on my desktop. For this we need to create a template which includes multiple report names, fixed members and variable members.
    In the variable member section, we have a field for User.
    For this field
    1. when i do not specify anything it does not let me distribute,
    2. when i specify a user name it creates 2 folderrs on my dektop one with the template name and one for the user
    3. when i specify a space (" ") this creates only 1 folder during the distribution that is of the Template name (Which is what is required)
    However what i do not understand is how this works without a username? What is the significance of this field in the distribution template?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shweta

  • What is the significance of the Assembly Deployment Target and Feature Scope?

    Hello,
    We have created a project as Farm Solution (not sandbox).
    Under project properties we can see an option for Assembly Deployment Target : GAC or WebApplication.
    I know that GAC will deploy the dll to windows\assemblies and WebApplication will deploy to website/bin folder.
    Now, we add a feature to the project; in here we can see a dropdown for scope with options as: Farm; Web; Site; WebApplication. I know that depending upon what option is chosen; the feature can then be activated by going to the respective manage features
    option via SharePoint front end UI.
    Can you tell me what is the significance of the Assembly Deployment Target and Feature Scope?

    >>Can you tell me what is the significance of the Assembly Deployment Target and Feature Scope?
    Feature scope can be decided based on the type of artifacts you will be building
    Check the below link for what type of artifacts can be build at different levels of scopes
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms454835(v=office.14).aspx
     wrt to Assembly Deployment Target depends on what type of components you are deploying through your solution which will be specified in manifest.xml. There are advantages
    if you deploy the components to web application rather GAC like all Apppools will not get recycled, avoiding IIS reset etc. But if you have 3rd party dlls and feature receivers which need to deployed along with the solution then its advisable to deploy to
    GAC

  • What is the significance of super() in constructor?

    excuse me, my english is poor.
    public class App2 extends App1{
    App2(String str){
    //there is a crytic super() *****why?****
    System.out.println(str);
    public static void main(String args[]){
    App2 tt=new App2("hello");
    class App1{
    App1(){
    System.out.println("App1 constructor");
    //end progarm
    why there is a crytic super()?
    What is the significance of super() in constructor?

    "public class App2 extends App1"
    implies that App2 inherits something from App1.
    e.g.
    App1 has member data a1, b1, c1 and App2 add its own member data a2, b2, c2. Since App2 extends App1, now App2 has member data a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2.
    If you call App2's constructor, you can initialize a2, b2, c2. How about a1, b1, c1? If you don't use super in App2's constructor, a1 b1 c1 won't be initialized. So, call super to let App1 initialize a1, b1 and c1.

  • What is the significance of plan version?

    Hi all,
    Pls tell what is the significance of plan version? What will happen if I create some orgunit oin current plan and some org unit in another plan?

    Hi..,
    Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
    ==>In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
    ==>You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
    But Only one plan version will be active at any time !!!
    As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
    For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management ® Global Settings in Personnel Management ® Plan Version Maintenance.

    Hello,
    BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK was used to pass additional data from SC to ECC PO.
    This BADI is replaced by BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW with SRM 5.0. Using this BADI you can change all the data that is transferred to the backend system for generation of a purchase order. This includes, for example, the item data, the account assignment data, and texts. All the shopping cart data is available as input parameters.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though

    What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though it has no method?

    Well, what's the significance of an interface? They can define a set of methods a class may implement but the class could equally well implement these methods without the interface so why having interfaces at all?
    The answer is that the most important aspect of an interface is that it constitutes a type (you can declare variables of it). And it's a type regardless of how many methods it defines, including none. So the reason for having a marker interface is that you're interested solely in the type aspect of interfaces.
