what is the difference between conversion and interface in bdc?..

Answer / vijith

IFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVERSION AND INTERFACE:

A Conversion means data that is converted from one format to
another format and from one system to another.

So when you first implement SAP, you are actually replacing
some of your legacy systems, but you are not completely
trashing the data. You still need some of that data from the
systems that are being replaced. So you pull the data out of
your legacy systems and put them on some files. You then
want to load that data into your new SAP system.

That is when you write some programs which will read that
data and load it into SAP. Imagine you had a home grown
purchasing system. You are now replacing all that with SAP.
But until SAP goes live, you want to keep using your home
grown purchasing system.
So during go live, you want to transfer the POs from your
legacy system to SAP. Now a PO in your legacy system may not
have the same fields as a PO in SAP. So you convert the data.

Ex: BDC,LSMW

Interfacing is connecting two or more different entities. In
our case, it is connecting one or more systems with SAP. Now
extending our previous example, you are replacing some
legacy applications but there are some applications that you
don't want to replace yet.
You need to somehow pass data back and forth between SAP and
these remaining systems. Data may be going one way or the
other way or both ways. You will still need to do some data
transformations/translations etc to make the data
understandable to the receiving system.
This will continue as long as you want to keep the systems
running alongside SAP.

Ex: idoc,bapi

In short, conversions are written to load data into SAP
onetime. These are typically file based.

Interfaces are written to exchange/update/send/receive data
between SAP and other systems on an ongoing basis. These can
be in many forms, file based, idoc based, real time(business
connector, XI etc are useful in this), xml, and the list
goes on.

1.) - Design the class model and produce a class diagram for a set of vehicle types for a vehicle manufacturer. At a minimum, the class model should include the following information: - Type of vehicle (e.g. sedan, truck, etc), - Number of seats - Number of doors - Color of the vehicle - Transmission type (auto vs manual) - Engine’s rated horsepower - Number of engine cylinders - Engine size (in liters) - Number of stereo speakers - Does it include satellite radio? - Does it have a CD player? (and if so, how many CDs can it hold?) - Is it front, rear, all, or 4 wheel drive? - Truck bed type (e.g. short, standard, long) - Trunk size (for those vehicle types that have a trunk) 2.) I want to create an in-memory definition for a set of airline routes for a small airline company. I want to maintain a list of all of my planes and their current locations (or their destination location if they are currently in the air). One of the possible locations needs to be “hangar” for maintenance or repairs. I want to have the full airline schedule available so that I can look for available flights. I also want to store information on which planes are operating each schedule. Assuming that a customer comes to the ticketing counter at one of my airports when it opens at 6:00am, I want to be able to give a customer the fastest option to get from one airport to another. Keep in mind that it may take more than one flight to get from one airport to another. Describe how you would fulfill this request with your design. 3.) I want to create a course registration database for a university. I want to store information for each department, information for each course (including which department they’re offered under as well as which professors are teaching them), information for each professor, and the list of the registered students and which courses each student has registered for. Keep in mind that an instance of a course could be taught by multiple instructors (i.e. one instructor for the first half of the course and then a different instructor for the second half). Also keep in mind that there could be multiple instances of a given course offered by different sets of instructors (e.g. offered by Bob Smith on Mondays & Wednesdays at 10am and Bill Jones on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 1pm). Design a set of database tables to store this information. 4.) Given the following: You have an application that consists of three parts: a front end GUI, a middle-ware layer where all the processing of data takes place and a database where data is read from. What are the areas that would be most likely to break? What would your testing strategy for this be? Why? 5.) Imagine I am handing you a wine glass and I ask you to test it. What would your testing strategy for this be?
