Difference between SAP ECC(ABAP) Vs SAP GTS (ABAP)

[Former Member]

Hi

Can you any please tell me the difference between ABAP programming in SAP ECC vs SAP GTS.

I know both ECC & GTS are ABAP engine but just want to understand the difference.

Thanks..>Ravi

Dear Ravi,

the main difference is that GTS often uses GUID´s (Global Unique Identifier) in the background. So if you create own reports or queries you often need to go through additional tables to translate gte GUID into the business partner number, document number, license number ...

For example if you are looking for item details of a customs document in table /SAPSLL/CUIT you can´t enter the document number directly, you first need to go  into the header table /SAPSLL/CUHD first and use the GUID to get to the item details in the item table. This is one example but GUID´s are used very often in GTS.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ravi,

From my knowledge, There is no difference Ravi, it is pretty much same.

The main difference you will find is the naming convention i.e. in GTS everything starts with /sapsll/*

Thanks.
