Generating Function

*******************

All functions that do not have input values are refered to as Generating Functions

Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions

Generic Function

********************

All Other Functions except Generating functions as above are Generic

they have input values and output values

Conversion function

**********************

that converts a value from one data type to another

eg- fix values and value mapping are existing functions in conversion functions.

Change management system (CMS)

******************************************

Change Management Service (CMS) is part of SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI). This service enables you to configure your transport landscape and manage the transport of objects between different systems.

Change Transport system (CTS)

*************************************

The CTS is the central tool for managing changes to Customizing and Repository data that you make in the IMG or ABAP Workbench. The CTS records all changes in change requests.

Hi

conversion is used to convert the data from one format to the other.

for ex: we use the FCC parameters to get the desired solutions .

SAP conversion agent it a tool that helps to convert unstructured data

(like EDI messages, work files, pdf files etc) into XI (or from XI)

you just use an IDE to develop the program that you can later on

put inside the adapter module (for fiel adapter for example)

so no programming (as it's drag and drop)

for many documents

generic function?

All functions (regardless of whether they are standard or user-defined functions) that do not have input values are refered to as Generating Functions (Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions).

All other functions are generic function

File system:

1. Involves the maually copying the fiel from the

D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\export\sample.tpz

to the target system

D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import\sample.tpz

this involves person to manually go this each time for IR and ID...time invloved is more then risk is you are loggin into the server....

2. Not feasible approach if the number of intefacess are more.

CMS:

Automated procedure for tranporting....

1. Configure the CMs according to the envinorment and then no reason to login to server to copy the files.

2. Easier

3. Takes less time comapred to fielsystem

4. Feasible for lansacpae having more interfacess

5. COnfiguration has to be done setting various servers according to the server time spent in cofg may be more

Ramesh.
