BWA - Time Characterisitcs

Hi All,
In order to use BWA with an infoCube are there any design requirements for the infoCube?
e.g. Does the cube require to use a time period such as 0calmonth, 0fiscyear etc.
Thanks.
Nick.

There is no such requirement
Cheers

From date and to date in report

Hello,
I am working in Objective Setting and Assessments , I am using Infoset 0PAH_IS01, I have added 0PAH_DS01 in that.
In Reports I have created Variable for VALID FROM DATE and VALID TO DATE (BEGDA &ENDDA) form appraisal Document ID
In that selection screen first start date is coming after that end date is coming, I want to show it in paralled like
Appraisal stat date to appraisal End date.
I tried with replacement path, but not able to get, if i have to write customer exit, wt i have to do and what will be that coading.
Pl. suggest.
Thanks
Edited by: shalini on Nov 25, 2009 7:00 AM

This can be psooblie but you need to write user exit for the same while calculation .
1) Create variable of type interval on time characterisitcs (e.g.0calmonth).
2) Now if your from and to values are coming from diffenrent time charactersitcs then you need to pass the i/p values to those time characterisitcs .

Closing characteristic after a time period

Dear All,
I am looking for a way to close an inspection charcateristic automatically after a certain time period.
I have 3 characteristics for my inspection lot. The first should be closed 20 hours after generation of the inspection lot. The second 15 hours after that and the third 5 hours after that.
Is there a way to do it?

You can only make automatic UD for inspectoin lots if you meet the other requirements, which I doubt you do. I.e. all required characterisitics have a status of 5 and all of those use a fixed scope. You could make all your characterisitcs optional but that could lead to a whole bunch of non-processed lots. I.e. if the wait period is met, the lots will be closed out. This might be problems if some day the lab falls behind or is gone over a long planned outage. It also runins the ability to indicate to techs the optional vs required characteristics!

Material Determination at the time of Order Entry

Hi All,
I am a novice to SD Module. I am basically an ABAPER. We have a requirement to restrict certain Materials. My question is as follows :
While in the time of Sales Order Creation if you give the Material Characteristic SAP gets the Material Number for it. Can anyone tell me how do I do the reverse of it? i.e. I have the Material Number and I want to get its characterisitc, for e.g.
I enter "k#/Compound" in the Material Number(VBAP-MATNR) field in VA01 and VA02 and SAP fills in the Material Number. Here "k#/compound" is not the Material Description else we could have easliy got that from table MARC.
I have done some analysis and it shows that SAP gets the Material Number from KONDD(Material Substitution - Data Division) Table based on the Condition Record Number(KNUMH) and Reason for Material(SGURD) Substitution. But I am unable to make out how to get the Condition Record Number(KNUMH) and in which table to look out for the Material text once I get the Condition record number.
Any advice will be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance

Here are somoe other tables for materials, that may help!...

Number of times main memory has been unloaded in last 24 hours "0"

Hello Experts,
I am getting error "BIA server is overloaded" in RSDDBIAMON2 tcode.
Description is below:
BIA server is overloaded
Message no. RSD_TREX154
Diagnosis
The SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator server is overloaded. Either there has recently been a forced unload of the BIA main memory, ort he total volume of loaded data exceeds the limit of 50% of the available main memory.
Both these situations negatively impact the stability of the BIA server.
Procedure
You have two options:
Decrease the volume of data in the BIA: Delete BIA indexes that you do not currently need or that you do not urgently require.
Contact your BIA hardware partner and carry out a new sizing for the BIA hardware.
Procedure for System Administration
By default, this message only appears as a warning in processes that index large volumes of data in the BIA. You can use administration parameters to specify this warning as an error message as well. This causes all index processes to terminate if the error occurs.
To do this, execute program RSDDTREX_ADMIN_MAINTAIN with parameters Object= DONT_IGNORE_BIA_OVERLOAD, Value = X, and INSERT/UPDATE = X.
Diagnois says
1) The total volume of loaded data exceeds the limit of 50% of the available main memory,I have already checked the disk used for storing the indexes and it is not more than 50% of the BW Accelerator main memory.
2)There has recently been a forced unload of the BIA main memory: As per error details Number of times main memory has been unloaded in last 24 hours: '0' ie no unloaded had happened in last 24 hours.
Please help me how i can solve this erro as there is not unload happened and also disk usage under control.

Akshay

hi,
1) You can check the traces via the trex standalone tool trexadmin or transaction TREXADMIN. You must provide more details to get an analyze. Was there running a lot of process chains at this time? Have you checked the memory monitoring of the BWA blades?
2) transaction TREXADMIN -> tab version..
You can try going through SAP notes which help with high memory issues.
Sometimes, the rfc server sometimes takes a lot of memory and doesn't free it afterwards.
Thanks,
Sheen

Non-Cumulative and BWA

Dear Expert
I have one non-cumulative cube with Inflow and out flow. I compressed that cube and rolled up BWA index. Performance it good but the query still takes much time ( 10- 12 minutes) earlier 30 minutes.
I saw during query running its still accessing Master data infoobject in BW and i have navigation attribute in row of query definition.
Please tell what steps i need to perform to make the query fater, let say within 2 minutes.

Hi Tansu
I have the same kind of problem. In my case, i have the below in rows
Plant_country
Profit Center
Material->display attr ( one display attribute)
Mat_plant-->display attr( one display attribute)
Material_prod_hier
Material_matl_type
Material_division
Mat_plant_mrp_contrl
Mat_plant_0pur_grp
Stor_loc
Stocktype
and whenever I am running the report I see in SM50 /BI0/PMAT_PLANT is being read with report CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA======CP. for long time ( direct read)
Then another report SAPLRRK0 is taking huge time in reading. But one thing is sure its is reading BWA not the Cube except master data table for MAT_PLANT.
by 30 char object you meant long text /short text?
Dont know what needs to be done to make this particular query faster. Please advise.
Regards
Anindya

How to find BW Indexes not used in a long time

Hello all,
I am attempting to find out which indexes have not been used in the last 2 years in a effort to eliminate indexes from our BWA environment. Is there a way I can query our BW environment to figure this out? Is there a table, or group of tables in combination, that might be able to help me out here?
Thanks to you all.

Thanks for such a quick response.
I am assuming the following about the table :
-     Column u201CCALDAYu201D contains a date value for each day the Index is active.
-     Column u201CBIA_USEDu201D contains a value that is iterated for the given day each time the Index is used.
-     Column u201CBIA_NOTPOSSIBLEu201D contains a value representing how many times a query could not access this Index.
-     Column u201CNO_BIAu201D tells if a BWA Index exists at all on any of my BWA Blades
-     Column u201CBIA_TECHINAu201D ????????
-     Column u201CBIA_INAu201D ???????
-     Column u201CDB_FALLBACKu201D ???????
I am not sure if my understanding of the column is correct. Can you tell me they are? The columns with u201C???????u201D mean I have no solid understanding of how to use these columns at all.
Thanks

Migration Working with Errors and Taking Very Long Time: Transient error MapiExceptionNetworkError, StalledDueToMailboxLock

So, I am migrating mailboxes to a 2013 EXC from a 2010 EXC. Both in same subnet on same domain. Firewall on WIndows disabled:
Setup batch move on 2013 box. But users logs are getting
StalledDueToMailboxLock in the status as well as
Transient error MapiExceptionNetworkError has occurred. The system will retry (1/60).
also, The mailboxes eventually migrate over 2-3 days. some quicker some with out error. Error comes up with mailboxes that users do not use. I have a lot of users to migrate and cannot migrate as such a slow pace.
Any Ideas of the error??

Run-Time Error '6' Overflow within BEx Analyzer after copy/paste query

Hi all,
User is getting a "Run-time error '6' overflow" message which is caused after copying any query in a 'query pack' to any free row/column within the same sheet (BEx Analyzer). This "query pack" has multiple queries within one sheet and covers 1800 rows so there is enough free space left for copying one of the queries to another position in the same sheet.
Microsoft Office Excel SP2 is used which is part of MS Office professional edition 2003. The BW version is 3.0.
Please let me know if more details are required or above mentioned error message is recognized and can be explained.
Thanks and kind regards,
Raymond Flaton

Hi VRV,
This error is caused whenever there is memory issue. If your query is built on a cube which has a BWA index then this problem can be related to the issue with the BWA server. Check your BASIS team to check if there is memory issue presently in the BWA server.
Sometimes the issue is temporary, where the several users accesing the reports to fetch data from BWA lead to this type of error as the BWA gets overloaded. Try exiting the report and run it after some time again.
Alternatively you can also try restricitng the selection for fetching the data in the report as suggested.
Thanks

BO Explorer Accelerated Version for BWA with BO Enterprise 4.0.2 ????

Dear all,
we are currently running a complete BO Enterprise 4.0.2 landscape, including BO Explorer 4 (non accelerated version).
What we would like to add in addition(!), is an installation of BO Explorer (accelerated version of a dedicated blade) which directly accesses the data in our BWA, but which makes use of the already existing BOE landscape (including CMS, SAP authentication, etc.)
I checked all documentation on the service.sap.com, etc. and I have to say that I'm a little bit lost about the versions and the naming.
- There was once a version which was called SAP BO Explorer (blade) 2.0 and in the installation/master guide there was a dedicated part how to connect the new BO Explorer to the BO Enterprise and how to establish a connection between the BO Explorer and the BWA (so exactly what we from my general understanding need to do).
Unfortunately this guide was always based on the BOE XI3.2 version and NOT on the current 4.0.2 version
- The successor of SAP BO Explorer (blade) 2.0 is now called SBOP EXPLORER PACKAGE 4.0 (as I can read in service.sap.com), but when I check /instguides for "explorer", I can again read the following:
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, accelerated version comprises the following software packages and components:
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer (blade) 2.0
SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator 7.2
SAP BusinessObjects Accelerator (blade) 1.0
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
SAP BusinessObjects Accelerator Index Designer
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (optional)
And now I'm lost. Does it mean that the latest installable blade edition is still SAP BusinessObjects Explorer (blade) 2.0, even when we are running BO Enterprise 4.0.2 ???? If so, is there any major difference between the XI3.2 version from the (blade) 2.0 installation/master guide and version 4.0.2 (except that I do not need the SAP integration stuff anymore)?! Is there an installation guide for BO Enterprise 4.0.2?
And last but not least, which version is the version which I can find under /swdc
SBOP EXPLORER ACCELERATED VERSION -> SBOP EXPLORER PACKAGE -> SBOP EXPLORER PACKAGE 4.0
It seems to me that this is the NON ACCELERATED version - so not the blade edition which is going directly to the BWA...
OR
Having the new BO Explorer Version 4 available does not at all require a special blade installation anymore?!? I simply need
- BWA720 and need to perform the following steps:
To connect SAP BusinessObjects Explorer with a designated SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator via the CMC administration page:
1. Stop the Explorer servers.
2. Logon to the BusinessObjects Enterprise CMC.
3. Navigate to Manage > Applications.
4. Right-click Explorer and click Properties.
5. Within Advanced Configuration: type the host and port values of the designated BWA.
For example:
com.businessobjects.datadiscovery.dataprovider.trex.host=<mybwaserver>
com.businessobjects.datadiscovery.dataprovider.trex.port=3<TREX_instance_number>16
Who can help me with this?
Thanks,
Andreas

Dear Anbu,
long time ago since I did the initial configuration.
When I remember right, there was an additional parameter in one of the *ini files on the Trex Server, but when I searched I was not able to find any additional parameter - so I guess there is none.
One thing that I remember is, that we had to use the IP-adress on the BO server configuration instead the server name, as otherwiese the BO server was not able to reach the BWA (but his might be due to our internal configuration).
Regards,
Andreas

13 line item dimension cube into BWA?

I have heard earlier that BWA does not support line item dimensions due to swap of data between blades. not sure this is still an issue.
My cube has 13 line item dimensions. For performane reasons, we created 13 line item dimensions as cube storing 240 million records and user want to analuse all this data.
I want to push this line item cube to BWA for better performance and like to know the impact.
thanks for advance replies.
Thanks

My assumption for BWA has no limitations. That's why we spent so much for BWA right?
Rewording Mark Victor Hansen: "Only in imagination, there's no limitation".
Best cases for BWA performance are documented; unfortunately the only link I have on hand is to BIExpert article [Tips and Techniques for Optimal Query Performance with SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator|http://www.bw-biexpertonline.com/article.cfm?id=3665].

So far there is nothing worrisome in your description. 300M recs is not mind-blowing. The areas of watch-out:
1/ There used to be performance implications with line-item dimensions in the past, when number of records in dimension was higher than number of records in fact table. But it was 2-3 years ago...
2/ Once you put something on top of BW, like BO in your case - you need to check where time is spent, because in the past communication between BI tool and BW used to have impact as well. Make sure you have latest patches there.

Time conversion at Query Level

Can anyone suggest any methods to convert the time from UTC time zone to PST time zone at Query level without changing at backend level???

If it is a key figure you can create a formula and add the offset.
If it is a characterisitc and you want to limit the selection you can use customer exit variables. If you want to display the characteristic value, then you may be able to do a replacement path variable to convert characterisitc to KF and then use a formula to adjust the offset.

Time Series Objects for a Planning Area

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know why do we create Time Series Objects for a Planning Area.
What is its Role & significance..
Regards,.
Vishal.S.Pandya

time series is usually a Demand planning concept(and used in SNP as well but in SNP its predominantly the order series that plays a main role)
time series is a general concept in statistics(and forecasting) wherein the value of a key figure is represented in a time bucket
Time series gives you an idea of the gradual change in the values by time and the relation of the future based on the past
planning area in APO (and other tools) tries to represent this as a 2 dimensional model with time on the columns and key figures in the rows. the value that you load into the cells that are formed by the above are based on the characterisitic values you choose from your MPOS which is linked to the way the values are stored in the planning area
The planning area stores data for each key figure in the smallest unit of time(technical storage buckets) and the lowest level of characterisitc value combination

Browser response time slow but Analyzer fast with same query

Hi all,
We have a very complex query (structures and cell formulas). When I drill and filter on a specific characteristic the action takes anything between 7 and 15 minutes when using the browser. The same query in Analyzer performing the same drilling action takes less than 35 seconds.
Our architecture is as follows:
- Relevant cubes are indexed on BWA
- WebDynPro for Java
We can see that the BWA is hit for a short time then the CPU utilization is back to 0%. When doing '&profiling=x' on the browser I can see that the most of the time is spent on 'Get result set' / 'Get provider result set' for the Java events and on the OLAP side most time is spent on the 'Get result set' event.
Interestingly enough - when disabling myself as a user for BIA use (NO_BIA_USE) in my user profile I get the same response time on the browser.
So, does anyone have an idea of what may be the cause of the slow response time when using the browser?
Thanks

Hi,
The reason is most likely because of the event ID 3200 where data transfer takes place from OLAP to frontend browser.
Record a RSTT trace for this and if you are able to see frequent calls to "Apply State XML" and "Get Result Set" then apply the SAP Note 1428850. Otherwise see which function module is causing an error.
If trace runtime is less but in browser still it takes long time then this might be because of the compression of HTPP responses, which can be confirmed by observing the sent and received data volumns from the HTTP server requests/responses. For more information refer SAP Note 746666.

Disable BWA for Updates

Hello BWA Experts:
We are planning to do updates to our BWA appliance in a couple of weeks. Last time we did this, I remember that we had issues with our users getting error messages about BWA being unavailable when they ran queries against things that were typically indexed in BWA (because the appliance was down for maintenance).
I know that you can exclude using BWA for a given query, or for an entire InfoCube ... but is there a "Best Practice" way to take BWA globally out-of-service to do maintenance on it? (FYI -- We have several InfoCubes indexed in BWA, as well as several "Query as InfoProvider" query snapshots indexed in the Explorer part of our BWA appliance).
Also, I recall last time we did an update that the vendor said that the BWA appliance would be left in a "usable state" at the end of each business day, so that each morning we could do our regular loads to BWA. This sounded great, because it would save us having to dump and reload everything in BWA after the updates were completed. In order to take advantage of this approach, will I need to put BWA back "In Service" at the end of each day, and take BWA back "Out of Service" before the vendor begins doing updates each morning?
Thank you!
Laurie Reid

Hi Laurie,
Well I have created a SAP note that mentions several ways that you can turn off BWA:
2016832 - How to disable BWA for queries
As of any other way to disable BWA as you wish I don't see. Maybe first disable for all queries and infocubes and also check to disable the connection from the BW to BWA could help. However, that's up to your business requirements.
Thanks,
Diego.
