Why people in SAP are called consultants

Hi SDN,
We have been saying others that we are SAP consultants.
whereas abapers are just like any other developers..
why people in SAP are called consultants ?
thanks.
maahi

SAP Consultants
ABAP consultans
Google the word consultant and find out.
Saying ABAP consultant appears to be more professional that saying ABAP developer. A developer will just write code. A consultant will liase with the customer and find out the needs, look for the best solution etc.

Why the AWT components are called heavy-weight and SWING as light-weight?

Why the AWT components are called heavy-weight and SWING as light-weight?.
Building our own components means overhead on JVM. hence in what sence the SWING components are called light weight.?
I know that the Swing componets are the components which are not going to depend upon peer classes and render, OS independent LOOK n FEEL.
Thanks,
Sanath Kumar

All extensions of Component are considered lightweight since, as you point out, they don't have their own dedicated native peer.
Essentially a lightweight component only has a canvas on which to draw itself and some means of receiving events from the system. In fact, there is no need to have one of these "canvas" and "event" objects for each component - the parent component can manage these abilities on behalf of its children. Eventually you end up with only top-level components needing to be heavyweight in order to communicate with the windowing system.
A lightweight component therefore has the minimal dependency on the underlying windowing system giving you maximum cross-platform flexibility.
It is usually true that lightweight => slower and heavyweight => faster since it is reasonable to assume that native peers will be optimal for the windowing system. However, that's not the point of the lightweight/heavyweight distinction.
Hope this helps.

HT201436 how do you set up voicemail on the i5? People are calling me, it rings 4 times then a busy signal. I recorded a VM, but what am I missing?

How do you set up voicemail for an I5? People are calling me, it rings 4 times, then they get a busy signal.

This sounds like something on the carrier's end. Call them and see if they have your account provisioned for voicemail.

Why do you have to dial the area code if you are calling from the same area code

I am considering switching over to Verizon Digital Voice, I already have Verizon phone service as part of my quad package. I understand that there are some more features, as well as a reduction of a certain tax resulting in apporx $8 savings per month. The only drawback, as far as my wife is concerned, is that we would be required to dial the area code even if we are calling next door. I am curious as to why that is. I live on Long Island, New York. Any insight would be helpful. I have used the speed dial argument, but I am getting resitance. Thanks in advance. Marv

Just switched from Vonage and they had a home area code feature that allowed same area code calls, so that whenever you dialed a 7 digit phone # it went through as a local area call. Don't understand why my new Verizon service can't do that; just makes me think I haven't figured it out yet.

My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls (quite a few times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking Is your phone switched off ? In fact network also good at that time.Any fix ?

My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls ( quite a few times - Till now it happened around 15-16 times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking me that Is your phone switched off ? Infact network also good at that time.Not sure about the problem.
I contacted AT n T also and explained about the problem, They suggested to monitor few more days...whether it is real network issue or not. But I am very sure it is NOT network issue because one day I was waiting for my brother at my office open parking space, And i called my brother whether he is ready at his place so that i can go and pick him, but he told it takes sometime...and he told, he will call in 15 mins, So i was at the same location (NOT even moved 1 inch also ), just sitting and listening music and after 30 mins, I called him back and asked Still not ready, then he replied he was trying me from last 15 mins and it is going to voice mail , I got similar complaint from others as well. Today also my cousin called my landline and asked Is your phone switched off ? because i was trying to reach you but it is going to voice message, I saw the signals at that time, Signal strength is very good. I think there is some problem in Iphone5 may be LTE or something.
Taking phone to next levels is good, But it should NOT hamper it's basic phone functionality ( Make calls, receiving calls, Voice mail etc ). Please let me know if any fix for this.

You say it started on yours after upgrading to iOS 8. I've been on iOS 8.0 for quite some time and only recently did this issue spring up.
The one thing I haven't tried is downgrading it back to iOS 7 (which would be a shame, but if it's the only answer...)
I'll get back to you once I've tried that.

Why most of SAP Standard transactions are written in function pools

Hi Forum Experts,
Why most of SAP Standard transactions are written in function pools instead of a normal module pool program? ( In the case of Standard tcode function pools, it is a collection of a large number of funciton modules, includes for forms used by function modules, and screens. Why is it so? ).
Quick response will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harikrishna Indugu.

because these functino pools contains so many function mudules and these function modules are used in other transactions also...
thats why....

What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?

Dear experts,
Please explain What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?
Regards
Adhi,

Hello Adhi
There is no limit to explore in MDG. As a functional consultant you are responsible for -
1. Defining scope of MDG
2. Set up governance process - Workflow
3. Configuration - MDG (Activate services - functions / role set up / Data modelling / process modelling / replication set up ) - You have to involve in each of these activities with technical. You can also do it on your own.
4. Testing - end to end testing and training
5. Cut over activities - data load etc
In these areas, you have to contribute 100% and work with entire team (tech) for set up.
As mention, you can explore a lot in MDG.

Why are calls to certain countries more expensive ...

Hello!
I just wonder why calls to ordinary phones are more expensive to certain countries than to others. For example a call to Afghanistan is 30 cents a minute, a call to Somalia or Guinea is 57 cents a minute, but a call to France is only 2 cents a minute. Why is that? Are you working on a solution to that? We have many immigrants in my country who would like to be able to make cheap calls to their home countries and not only to rich western countries.
Thank you!
Greetings from Andreas from Sweden

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. Forall items in the store the prices are set by the content providers, and with US prices you need to add on the state's sales tax to the listed price, which I think can be up to something like 7 percent.

Why people are being referred to iTunes Terms of Sales when unable to make purchases and how it can be resolved?

I see nothing there that is referring you to the Terms of Sale. You're being told to contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

Does anyone know what job(s) is/are called when processing applications ??

I need to find out what job(s) is/are called in BPC 5.1, when I tick the box marked "Process Application" (in Admin Manager) and then hit "Modifiy Application".
Basically, I need to schedule this task, but the AdminTask_Process in SSIS does not do all of the required steps (such as rebuilding dependency tables).
I have asked SAP this question a week ago, but had nothing back, so I'm hoping that someone on here can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Craig

As you probably know, a full optimize of any application(s) deletes the dependencies from the FACT tables of thos app's.
Without the dependencies, a lot of our larger jobs fail, as there are no indexes to refere to, so the entire tables are searched/updated.
To avoid the failures, after running a full optimize, we have to manually process each application that was affected (currently 7 apps) in Admin Manager.
Part of the full process is to rebuild the dependencies (amongst other things)
As you can imagine, this is a time-consuming process, and one of my colleagues is having to dial in to our systems to perform this task each Sunday. (We have reduced the full optimizes to once a week because of this problem).
We need to get back to daily optimizes, but this is impossible right now, because of this problem.
This is why I need to be able to schedule it - I would schedule the full optimization for, say, 3am, followed by a scheduled task to run the process job at 5am to rebuild the dependencies and re-index before anyone starts work each day.
I know that the problem is fixed in SP11 of 5.1 (and in SP6 of v7), but whilst this is released 18/09/09, it will be months before we are ready to implement it due to testing and deployment windows.
So I need to know what procedure(s) are called when I tick the "Process Application" box in Admin Manager and hit "Modify Application".
As it is a simple tick-box, there has to be a check in the software that says "If this box is ticked then do this, this and this"
I just need to know what "this, this and this" are.
In the meantime, I have come up with a "dirty" way to do it, which is by dropping and recreating the Stored Procedures that depend on the FACT tables.
By doing that, they automatically update the FACT table dependency list and re-index.
However, as I am just imitating the jobs that I can see running through SQL Profiler, I could easily be missing steps.
Therefore, I would like to be able to just call the BPC process that controls the Processing job.
Hope that helps.
Any suggestions ???
Thanks
Craig

Why does useful features are limited to few adapters?

Why does useful features are limited to few adapters?
For eg : File receiver CC has a option to stop Empty messages from being processed.
This is not available in SOAP receiver.
Is it possible to have a standard adapter module in SOAP receiver CC that will achieve this?
Regards,
Venkat.

Thats for SAP to answer i guess
Well initially there was no option in the File adapter to handle empty messages but as requirement grew and more and more customers/consultants were in need to handle such a functionality, SAP brought it in through a SP release
Maybe if this particular requirement of your finds popularity, then SAP might come up with a inbuilt solution

in you case why do you need to send the SOAP receiver a empty message??
If you need to handle it then the best is to do some workaround in the mapping and have a field in your target structure indicate that it is a empty message (something like a flag) and then do the routing logic based on this flag.

SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role

Hi All SAP Experts!!!
Seeking help from all of you for enlighten me with inputs for enabling me to take next step as a SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role.
Quick information about myself, I am 43 year young guy, have done my Masters in Chem, Post Graduate Diploma in Safety Health and Environment, Certification in NEBOSH-International General Occupational Health & Safety, Lead Auditor of ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 with 20+ years of industrial experience of implementation of Safety Health and Environmental Management in various industries (Engineering, Oil & Gas, Automobile, Automotive, Chemical, Facility Management & Infrastructure at India, Middle East, South Africa & US) by working and auditing them for respective EHS Standards.
As I have personally used and witnessed usage of many of the EHS related software which were ERP/ SAP based and found them very useful for making an fool-proof arrangement for effective EHS implementation. I did found some of the functional improvements areas during usage of the same i.e. by deploying EHS best practices I have witnessed at other industries directly or through software which will finally benefit the end-user and hence for the society too.
Following are my queries -
1. What can be the career path for person like me, who is having EHS functional knowledge & experience but does not have direct SAP implementation related experience and certification?
2. What are the minimal certification and qualification I will be requiring before switching to SAP Functional Consultant Role?
3. Who can be some of the best employer for me start this role?
Any other information, suggestions and inputs in this regards are more than welcome.
Thanking you all for the help and guidance you are going to provide.

Dear Sameer
your questions are discussed very often in this FORUM. Hi, is such an example, but you will a lot of more similar examples.
E.g.:

SAP niche domains with better future prospects
To All The SAP Mentors
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions please !!
Future Scope of SD for an abaper.
Therefore these are my hints:
Check first: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
Try to understand what SAP is doing (what means which solution exists and which solution is the right one to start with etc.).
To act a functional guy in SAP area you need basic understanding about SAP solutions.
1.) Shortly: there is no SAP certification in place for the SAP EHS solutions.
2.) Career: normally you ned first some basic SAP and SAP EHS training. The SAP training is available nearly worldwide. SAP EHS training is limited. E.g. there seems to be no good training option available in India (has been discussed as well in this FORUM).
Based on you "starter package" (know how) the "SAP EHS end user" option may be is the best. If you know about legal aspects/regulations etc. then by working on that in a company using SAP EHS solutions you will get closer to "technique" For work in EHS environment you need to have knowledge at least in the area (as called by SAP): product safety, dangerous goods management; as these are the "core" topics to cover in a company handling chemistry. On the top: if you have knowledge in the area of "Label Management" or "Waste" topics then you are in good starting position.
PLease check this FORUM. A lot of more threads can be found easily may be helping you to decide to go on.
C.B.
PS: please check first any SCN forum; it took me only "10" seconds (Ok less then one minute; but it was very easy) to generate the list of threads as part of this thread.

How to download list of transaction from SAP area menu in SAP1 transaction

Hello All,
My requirement is I want to download the list of transaction under the SAP area menu in SAP1 transaction.
I tried with SE43, entered area menu as S000, but it doesn't give me of the same hierarchy and some transaction were missing, for example IH08 is available in SAP1 transaction and not available in SE43.
Could you please let me know is there any way to download the list.
Regards,
Thanga

If you open SE43N, type SAP1 and Display (F7), Tree is shown with collapsed nodes. Print option in Menu shows the same tree as a list. The nodes do not get expanded by default.
So in order to get expanded tree in list ( so that transaction codes can be seen), you need to expand the tree before choosing Area Menu > Print.
This works for average area menu which is less number of transactions.
Since you are looking for SAP1, it has lot of transactions, and on expanding it, information message is shown as:
The tree could only be partially expanded for performance reasons
Diagnosis: The hierarchy could not be completely expanded for performance reasons; it has too many subnodes.
Procedure:
Restrict the number of nodes to be expanded by expanding a lower-level node
or
Expand this node repeatedly until this message no longer appears. The hierarchy is then completely expanded.
As a result, IH08 transaction which is under Quality Management node can't be seen in list view as overflow occurred before this node was reached.
On debugging, it can be seen that the tree is expanded recursively by standard until an overflow flag is set.
In order to get around this overflow protection, you can write a custom code.
Below snippet is for demonstration purpose.
1. Run FM BMENU_DISPLAY_RSTREE in SE37 with tree_id as QM01
2. Run my snippet that calls same FM in the end
Compare 2 outputs and see the difference.
I am going 1 level deep and IH08 transaction can be seen in output.
Similarly, you can write a code that recursively expands every sub-tree found so that entire list can be seen.

Linux using boot camp is it possible why people choose VMware or parallels?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone installed Linux using boot camp ? I'm asking this because i want to install the latest version of oracle database 11g and i need to install Linux or Windows to run the server.
There is no version of Oracle 11g for macosx atm.
Why people choose VMware and Parallels instead of using boot camp?
Please give some feedback.
Greatfully,
Nuno

Quite a lot of people are running Linux on their Intel-Macs (I am not one of them...).
Here's a how-to for Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
There is no version of Oracle 11g for macosx atm.
Time to complain(send a feedback to Oracle
Why people choose VMware and Parallels instead of using boot camp?
VMWare and Parallels have the advantage over BootCamp, that you can use them while still being in OSX, so that you can run Windows/Linux alongside OSX.
With BootCamp you have to restart your Mac each time you want to switch to/from Windows/Linux.
Please give some feedback.
Hope it helps
