Can someone please send some key questions asked on SAP HR in interviews. I've an interview in a day's time so please help with the some important questions on following modules:
PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION, ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION OF PAY SCALE DATA

Hello,
You need to execute the Year end report W2 for the Tax company level in PU19 which the employee's are mapped, this you can identify from the IMG setting in Payroll USA> Tax>Tax companies > Assign Tax companies to Personnel area. So the value for the employee will be under the tax company when payroll is executed. Reporting date is the field is the end date for the quarter or year for W2 it will be 31-Dec-2011 for the year 2011, Consider payroll date is "as of Date" ie till which date you want consider the payroll result for the current year, this is usefull when you have retro payresult difference or you do adjustment in the payroll.  Detail document is available in Service market place "Service.sap.com/hrusa"> Year end -->User Guide for the Tax reporter.

    1. What is EDI invoices, how it reflects in SAP R3 system
    Ans: Quite generally, you create an invoice by a normal way, but after this you generate an output (print document) in the form of an IDOC. This IDOC can be sent to the customer. The process is similar to the standard print output of the invoice. The Idoc should be of a message type INVOIC. The function module is IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC.
    There is also a self-billing process with the invoice creation. In this case the customer sends the IDOC for himself. This IDOC must be processed via EDI on Sd side, then the SD invoice will be created. To learn this process, please call the function module IDOC_INPUT_SBINV in the transaction SE37 and the press the button "Function Module Documentation". The SBINV process can be realized via EDI only.

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bev461/helpdata/en/f1/0e955bd1a011d49540006097d8f90e/content.htm
    3. What is the usage of configuration nprofile in variant configuration
    Ans: configuaration profile is a place where we will configure configurable material (mmk1) with class type 300 and class which u have defined. Here the values of variant characteristics will be stored
    or
    a). We use the configuration profile to assign the configurable material to one or more variant classes. This links the material to the characteristics of the class for configuration.
    b).You can define settings that affect the display options and scope of characteristics on the
    value assignment screen. (i.e. CU50)
    c). You can use the configuration profile to assign dependencies to a configurable object.
    d). For maintaining configuration parameters for BOM explosion.
    You maintain the configuration parameters for a configurable general maintenance task list in the configuration profile.
    The settings that you make here also concern the BOM explosion for the piece of material. In addition, at least one class, whose class type allows variant configuration, must be assigned to each configuration profile. The class contains the characteristics that the system proposes for characteristic evaluation when you create a maintenance or service order.
    4. What do you mean by tickets? Could you please give me some examples of tickets?
    Ans: Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after the implementation of the project.
    There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
    End user is not able to
    1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant, since shipping point determination is not happened. (Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
    He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below
    1.Low 2. Medium 3. High.
    Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
    You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
    Finally u request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION.
    Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed.
    What I have given is a small ex. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support
    1. kofo error?
    2. Defecit in sales order stock?
    3. Pgi is not possible?
    4. Ship conformation is not possible?
    5. Picking or packing pgi is not possible?

    5. What is the difference between sales process and business process?
    Ans. Sales Process: is also a business process where in only sales related activities are involved. I.e. for e.g.: sales order, purchase order, etc.,
    Business Process: any activity or business event where in business is involved we can those processes as Business Process
    BUSINESS PROCESS: Sequentially and logically related series of processes and functions for an internal or external target group to deliver a defined good or service. The R/3 Reference Model provides sample business processes in scenarios as EPCs.
    6. What is the difference between transit time and transportation time
    Ans:
    Transit time: time taken by the material to reach customers place. for eg: this is the time period right after the goods have left the shipping point of the business to the customer till the goods are received by the customer at his place..
    Transportation time: time taken to schedule the materials by shipping company. For eg: this is the time period right from the material manufacturing to the delivery of the material to the customer.
    Transit time: is the time taken by the material to reach customers place.

    7. What is the difference between free goods and bonus buy?
    Ans. Free goods are either inclusive or exclusive if a customer orders for 10 products he will get 1 free for that no price is charged this is exclusive scenario
    If a customer orders 10 products he will get 9+1 for 1 product he will not charged this inclusive scenario
    For bonus buy if a customer orders regularly 10 products in one occasion if he orders 1000 products he will be given less price than the price he will get for 10 products this bonus buy scenario
    Or
    Free goods are considered to be merchandise, moveable belongings or personal property. Free goods are those which economists are not interested in because in free goods doe not offer the opportunity for creating a cost for usage. The best example of free goods is air because there is no scarcity of air. Economists are interested only in goods, which can be manipulated to create cost for usage. Free goods are plentiful; you have as much as you want without a chance for future cost to society.
    A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.
    Examples of Bonus buys are: buy one and get one free, 20% original price, 15% Reduced Mortgage today.
    Free Goods: Free goods :
    A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.

    Bonus Buy: [VBK1] T.Code
    example TV---10000
    DVD 5000
    total 15000
    if u go for bonus buy u will get both for 12000
    8. What is the difference between static and dynamic in credit management
    Ans: Static Credit Limit Check
    The customer's credit exposure may not exceed the established credit limit. The credit exposure is the total combined value of the following documents:
    - Open orders
    - Open deliveries
    - Open billing documents
    - Open items (accounts receivable)
    The open order value is the value of the order items which have not yet been delivered. The open delivery value is the value of the delivery items which have not yet been invoiced. The open invoice value is the value of the billing document items which have not yet been forwarded to accounting. The open items represent documents that have been forwarded to accounting but not yet settled by the customer.
    Dynamic Credit Limit Check with Credit Horizon
    The customer's credit exposure is split into a static part; open items, open billing, and delivery values (see above), and a dynamic part, the open order value. The open order value includes all undelivered or only partially delivered orders. The value is calculated on the shipping date and stored in an information structure according to a time period that you specify (days, weeks, or months). When you define the credit check, you can then specify a particular horizon date in the future (for example: 10 days or 2 months, depending on the periods you specify). For the purposes of evaluating credit, you want the system to ignore all open orders that are due for delivery after the horizon date. The sum of the static and dynamic parts of the check may not exceed the credit limit.
    Main difference is horizon period is related for dynamic check not for static check
    SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK: Tr.Code - FD32
    It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
    Doc.Value: Sales Order has been saved but not delivered
    Open Item: Sales Order has been saved, Delivered, Billed & Transferred to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
    Eg: Customer Credit Limit is Rs.1,00,000/-
    Suppose Doc.Value + Open Item Value is Rs.1,10,000/-
    Here credit limit exceeds then system reacts.
    Options: A) Warning Message
    B) Error Message (Sales Order won't be saved)
    C) Error Message with Delivery Block
    AUTOMATIC CREDIT CHECK: Give extra credit facilities to the particular customer.
    STATIC CREDIT LIMIT DETERMINATION: Checking Group + Risk Catageory + Credit Control Area.
    A) Credit Checking Groups: Types of Checking Groups.
    01) Sales
    02) Deliveries
    03) Goods Issue
    At all the above 3 levels orders can be blocked.
    B) Risk Catageory: Based on the risk Categories Company decide how much credit has to give to the customer.
    HIGH RISK (0001) : LOW CREDIT
    LOW RISK (0002) : MORE CREDIT
    MEDIUM RISK(0003) : Average Credit
    Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
    1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delivered
    2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
    3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
    4) Open Item : Which is transferred to FI but not received from the customer.
    DYNAMIC CREDIT CHECK : 1) Open Doc
    2) Open Delivery
    3) Open Billing
    4) Open Items
    5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
    Here the System will not consider the above 1,2,3& 4 values for the lost 3 months
    Then assign the Sales Doc & Del Documents.
    Sales Doc.Type(OR) + credit Check (0) + Credit Group (01)
    Credit Limit Check for Delivery Type : Del.Type (LF) + Del Credit
    Group (02) + Goods Issue Credit Group (03)
    9. Difference between 4.6 version and 4.6c ,4.7ee
    Ans. There are so many differences between the versions in different objects
    1. In the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code and also there is no CIN tab in that version but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
    This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
    2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
    But we can do the same in the 6.0 versions
    These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

    10. Where is rebate define for quantity REBATE
    Ans: Following explains how to create a rebate agreement, test it using a sales order and billing it. Then settling it partially or fully using a rebate credit memo. Please use the basic procedure and tweak your IMG settings according to your unique requirements.
    Rebate processing:
    1. First requirement is that the rebate processing must be active for
    a. the customer ( check in customer master) ,
    b. for the billing type ( check in IMG > Billing > rebate processing > active rebate processing > select billing documents for rebate processing. )
    c. For the sales organization:
    ( check in IMG > Billing> rebate processing > active rebate processing > Active rebate processing for sales org. )
    2. Next create a rebate agreement for this us T-code VB01. For the rebate agreement type you can choose either 0001
    (group rebate) or 0002 material rebate or 0003 (customer rebate) etc
    b. Enter your rebate conditions. Don’t forget to enter the accrual rate here.
    3. Now test your rebate functionality: create a sales order for the particular customer, sales org (ensure that the billing type used in your sales order is relevant for rebate). Create outbound delivery, transfer order to do picking and post goods issue.
    4. Now go to T.Code VB03 and check your rebate by choosing conditions, selecting the condition line and choosing payment data. You will see that the accruals and business volume are updated when accounting doc is created for billing.
    5. Settling your rebates:
    Once your rebates have been accrued you need to settle the rebate.
    For this first release the rebate for settlement by using T.Code VB02. As a trial basis choose B (you can choose other settings based on your requirement) and choose Create manual accrual. Now enter the amount to be paid and save the rebate agreement.

    Rebate Agreements
    A rebate is a special discount which is paid retroactively to a customer. This discount is based on the customer's sales volume over a specified time period.
    You can process rebate agreements when the following prerequisite conditions are met:
    sales org is relevant for rebate processing
    payer (customer master record) is relevant for rebate processing
    billing type (invoice, credit memo) is relevant for rebate processing
    Condition types for rebate agreements:
    BO01 – Customer/Material or Customer/Rebate group = % rebate
    BO02 – Customer/Material = quantity dependent
    BO03 – Customer = % rebate
    BO04 - Customer hierarchy = % rebate
    BO05 – Customer hierarchy/Material = % rebate
    BO06 – Sales vol independent
    Creating Rebate Agreements
    Logistics Sales and distribution Master data
    Agreements Rebate agreement Create
    To create a condition record for a rebate agreement:
    When youcreating or changing rebate agreements, Conditions to get to the can create condition records by choosing Goto Agreement Overview screen.
    Enter the data necessary to create a condition record (for example: customer and condition rate).
    Choose ENTER.
    If you do not enter a value for the accrual rate, the system automatically proposes the value you entered as the condition rate.
    To create a pricing scale for a condition record, select the condition record and choose Scales.
    To display or change details in a condition record, select the condition record and choose Details.
    It is possible to see an overview of condition records that already exist in other rebate agreements and that have the same key combination (customer/material, customer/rebate group, and so on).
    To view the list, select Validity periods.
    You is to becan set for each rebate agreement whether it Rebate calendar renewed automatically or not. Select Extras Reactivate or Remove in the Change Rebate mode.
    Rebate Process with Ref. to SO
    Rebate agreemnts is based on agreement types.Conditon records which are created like B001 and B002 are linked to the rebate agreeements specifying the rebate rate + the accrual rates.condition records specify the rebate rate and the accrual rates.
    Consider an example..
    You decided to give a rebate of 3% to a customer whose sales vol is $1000 for a particular SO
    Then the rebate value is $30..
    Now when you make the rebate settlement by doiing the Credit memo and you decide to pay $27, then the accounting will be generated saying 27$ paid towards rebate and 3$ is the accrual which you owe to the customer
    Procedure:
    Rebate agreement: Transaction code: VB01
    When you go to VB01, choose agreement type 0002 and then in conditions give
    Material rebate
    1 20
    20 30
    Now create a sales order with a material say M-11 for SOrg 1000 12 00 with QTY 6
    Now check VB03 and see rebate agreemtent it will say Accruals 120 and payments 0
    since your rebate is not settled still.
    Rebate setllement
    Go to VB02 enter ur sales deal no, and change the agreemetn status to B then enter Shift+F12 and enter the amount to be paid for example u say $80
    Then check in rebate payments rebate doc and partial setllemetn since you have not paid in full.
    View the credit memo request
    Remove the Billing bloock Go to VA01 and put order type G2 ,,,go to create with ref and enter ur Sales order no,,,save the doc now...
    Then go to VF01 and enter the credit memo reqst no generated...save the doc no and go to VF02 and say release to accounting
    Now the final settlement will be this way
    Accruals:120
    Accrual reversed:80
    Rebate pay:80
    Amount payable:40
    So the balance 40 is still the accrual
    This is an example how a rebate will be processed with ref to a SO with an example.
    11. what is solution manager?what is purpose of it?2.in support what type of tool we can use?3.what is change

    12. How can we define sales order (VA01) & scheduling agreement (VA31)
    Ans: Sales Order: it’s a reference document for the order placed by the customer with the business. refer the link for more info: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/1d/3117ee84ab1544b0422c84178e52d6/content.htm

    13. What is gap analysis and when it will be use in the time of project.
    Ans: Business blue print stage is called as is process. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis. In this stage, we should analysis the gap between as is and is as process
    GAP Analysis
    A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
    In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications (ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
    Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
    Cut Over Plans
    Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
    Train Users
    Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.

    The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.
    Examples:
    1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.
    2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
    2 gaps are, In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy customer number which can be solved with User exit.,
    In sales order we need customer Phone number, We can use user exit
    These 2 are gaps, which we cant, find in Standard SAP
    1. If client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station..
    2. Order will be uploaded directly with out va01. Through BDC... bcoz lot of orders if they get daily, they can opt these...
    Movement type 1 uses when a material have two movement types. Like example 101 and 261. One is incoming raw material and going for production...

    This is a part of Second Phase in project implementation
    14. How to get cash sale invoice with rd03 and tell me the process cashsale delivery and invoice please?
    15. What is the difference between rebate and discount?
    Ans: Rebate is nothing but this is also a type of discount given by the business but unlike Discount this is not given immediately to the customer, say rebates are given after a certain amount of purchase is reached by the customer, or during a particular period of time, whereas in Discount the customer is benefited by a reduce of bill amount immediately when a purchase is done by the customer.
    Rebate is a partial repayment, whereas a refund is a repayment of the total purchase price and Discount is reduction in Price
    Or
    Rebate: an incentive to be given to a customer. Clubbed with qty purchased by a customer within the period specified (say one month)-conditional.
    Discount: unconditional, to be given to a customer on account of heavy purchase by one single billing. From the price List (Base price).

    Is there
    any particular field on that we can create Aggregates or we can maintain
    Aggregate on any field?
    What is
    the different DSO available? And what is the difference between those DSO?
    What is
    replacement path?
    What are
    the extractor types?
    • Application Specific
    o BW Content FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, LO Cockpit
    o Customer-Generated Extractors
    LIS, FI-SL, CO-PA
    • Cross Application (Generic Extractors)
    o DB View, InfoSet, Function Module
    2. What are the steps involved in LO Extraction?
    • The steps are:
    o RSA5 Select the DataSources
    o LBWE Maintain DataSources and Activate Extract Structures
    o LBWG Delete Setup Tables
    o 0LI*BW Setup tables
    o RSA3 Check extraction and the data in Setup tables
    o LBWQ Check the extraction queue
    o LBWF Log for LO Extract Structures
    o RSA7 BW Delta
    Queue Monitor
    3. How to create a connection with LIS InfoStructures?
    • LBW0 Connecting LIS InfoStructures to BW
    4. What is the difference between ODS and InfoCube and MultiProvider?
    • ODS: Provides granular data, allows overwrite and data is in transparent
    tables, ideal for drilldown and RRI.
    • CUBE: Follows the star schema, we can only append data, ideal for primary
    reporting.
    • MultiProvider: Does not have physical data. It allows to access data from
    different InfoProviders (Cube, ODS, InfoObject). It is also preferred for
    reporting.
    5. What are Start routines, Transfer routines and Update routines?
    • Start Routines: The start routine is run for each DataPackage after the data
    has been written to the PSA and before the transfer rules have been executed.
    It allows complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. It has no
    return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store
    them in global DataStructures. This structure or table can be accessed in the
    other routines. The entire DataPackage in the transfer structure format is used
    as a parameter for the routine.
    • Transfer / Update Routines: They are defined at the InfoObject level. It is
    like the Start Routine. It is independent of the DataSource. We can use this to
    define Global Data and Global Checks.
    6. What is the difference between start routine and update routine, when, how
    and why are they called?
    • Start routine can be used to access InfoPackage while update routines are
    used while updating the Data Targets.
    7. What is the table that is used in start routines?
    • Always the table structure will be the structure of an ODS or InfoCube. For
    example if it is an ODS then active table structure will be the table.
    8. Explain how you used Start routines in your project?
    • Start routines are used for mass processing of records. In start routine all
    the records of DataPackage is available for processing. So we can process all
    these records together in start routine. In one of scenario, we wanted to apply
    size % to the forecast data. For example if material M1 is forecasted to say
    100 in May. Then after applying size %(Small 20%, Medium 40%, Large 20%, Extra
    Large 20%), we wanted to have 4 records against one single record that is
    coming in the info package. This is achieved in start routine.
    9. What are Return Tables?
    • When we want to return multiple records, instead of single value, we use the
    return table in the Update Routine. Example: If we have total telephone expense
    for a Cost Center, using a return table we can get
    expense per employee.
    10. How do start routine and return table synchronize with each other?
    • Return table is used to return the Value following the execution of start
    routine
    11. What is the difference
    between V1, V2 and V3 updates?
    • V1 Update: It is a Synchronous update. Here the Statistics update is carried
    out at the same time as the document update (in the application
    tables).
    • V2 Update: It is an Asynchronous update. Statistics update and the Document
    update take place as different tasks.
    o V1 & V2 don't need scheduling.
    • Serialized V3 Update: The V3 collective update must be scheduled as a job
    (via LBWE). Here, document data is collected in the order it was created and
    transferred into the BW as a batch job. The transfer sequence may not be the
    same as the order in which the data was created in all scenarios. V3 update
    only processes the update data that is successfully processed with the V2
    update.
    12. What is compression?
    • It is a process used to delete the Request IDs and this saves space.
    13. What is Rollup?
    • This is used to load new DataPackages (requests) into the InfoCube
    aggregates. If we have not performed a rollup then the new InfoCube data will
    not be available while reporting on the aggregate.
    14. What is table partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an
    InfoCube?
    • It is the method of dividing a table which would enable a quick reference.
    SAP uses fact file partitioning to improve performance. We can partition only
    at 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER. Table partitioning helps to run the report faster as
    data is stored in the relevant partitions. Also table maintenance becomes
    easier. Oracle,
    Informix, IBM DB2/390 supports table partitioning while SAP DB, Microsoft SQL
    Server, IBM DB2/400 do not support table portioning.
    15. How many extra partitions are created and why?
    • Two partitions are created for date before the begin date and after the end
    date.
    16. What are the options available in transfer rule?
    • InfoObject
    • Constant
    • Routine
    • Formula
    17. How would you optimize the dimensions?
    • We should define as many dimensions as possible and we have to take care that
    no single dimension crosses more than 20% of the fact table size.
    18. What are Conversion Routines for units and currencies in the update rule?
    • Using this option we can write ABAP
    code for Units / Currencies conversion. If we enable this flag then unit of Key
    Figure appears in the ABAP code as an additional parameter. For example, we can
    convert units in Pounds to Kilos.
    19. Can an InfoObject be an InfoProvider, how and why?
    • Yes, when we want to report on Characteristics or Master Data. We have to
    right click on the InfoArea and select "Insert characteristic as data
    target". For example, we can make 0CUSTOMER as an InfoProvider and report
    on it.
    20. What is Open Hub Service?
    • The Open Hub Service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into
    external Data Marts, analytical applications, and other applications. We can
    ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for
    exporting data is the InfoSpoke. We can define the source and the target object
    for the data. BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse.
    The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the
    distribution status in the BW system.
    21. How do you transform Open
    Hub Data?
    • Using BADI we can transform Open Hub Data according to the destination
    requirement.
    22. What is ODS?
    • Operational DataSource is used for detailed storage of data. We can overwrite
    data in the ODS. The data is stored in transparent tables.
    23. What are BW Statistics and what is its use?
    • They are group of Business Content InfoCubes which are used to measure
    performance for Query and Load Monitoring. It also shows the usage of
    aggregates, OLAP and Warehouse management
    http://www.ittestpapers.com/articles/713/3/SAP-BW-Interview-Questions---Part-A/Page3.html
    Communication Structure and Transfer
    rules
    • Create and InfoPackage
    • Load Data
    25. What are the delta options available when you load from flat file?
    • The 3 options for Delta Management with Flat Files:
    o Full Upload
    o New Status for Changed records (ODS Object only)
    o Additive Delta (ODS Object & InfoCube)
    Q) Under which menu path is the Test Workbench to be found, including in
    earlier Releases?
    The menu path is: Tools - ABAP Workbench - Test - Test Workbench.
    Q) I want to delete a BEx query that is in Production system through request. Is
    anyone aware about it?
    A) Have you tried the RSZDELETE transaction?
    Q) Errors while monitoring process chains.
    A) During data loading. Apart from them, in process chains you add so many
    process types, for example after loading data into Info Cube, you rollup data
    into aggregates, now this rolling up of data into aggregates is a process type
    which you keep after the process type for loading data into Cube. This rolling
    up into aggregates might fail.
    Another one is after you load data into ODS, you activate ODS data (another
    process type) this might also fail.
    Q) In Monitor----- Details (Header/Status/Details) à Under Processing (data
    packet): Everything OK à Context menu of Data Package 1 (1 Records): Everything
    OK ---- Simulate update. (Here we can debug update rules or transfer rules.)
    SM50 à Program/Mode à Program à Debugging & debug this work process.
    Q) PSA Cleansing.
    A) You know how to edit PSA. I don't think you can delete single records. You
    have to delete entire PSA data for a request.
    Q) Can we make a datasource to support delta.
    A) If this is a custom (user-defined) datasource you can make the datasource
    delta enabled. While creating datasource from RSO2, after entering datasource
    name and pressing create, in the next screen there is one button at the top,
    which says generic delta. If you want more details about this there is a
    chapter in Extraction book, it's in last pages u find out.
    Generic delta services: -
    Supports delta extraction for generic extractors according to:
    Time stamp
    Calendar day
    Numeric pointer, such as document number & counter
    Only one of these attributes can be set as a delta attribute.
    Delta extraction is supported for all generic extractors, such as tables/views,
    SAP Query and function modules
    The delta queue (RSA7) allows you to monitor the current status of the delta
    attribute
    Q) Workbooks, as a general rule, should be transported with the
    role.
    Here are a couple of scenarios:
    1. If both the workbook and its role have been previously transported, then the
    role does not need to be part of the transport.
    2. If the role exists in both dev and the target system but the workbook has
    never been transported, and then you have a choice of transporting the role
    (recommended) or just the workbook. If only the workbook is transported, then
    an additional step will have to be taken after import: Locate the WorkbookID
    via Table RSRWBINDEXT (in Dev and verify the same exists in the target system)
    and proceed to manually add it to the role in the target system via Transaction
    Code PFCG -- ALWAYS use control c/control v copy/paste for manually adding!
    3. If the role does not exist in the target system you should transport both
    the role and workbook. Keep in mind that a workbook is an object unto itself
    and has no dependencies on other objects. Thus, you do not receive an error
    message from the transport of 'just a workbook' -- even though it may not be
    visible, it will exist (verified via Table RSRWBINDEXT).
    Overall, as a general rule, you should transport roles with workbooks.
    Q) How much time does it take to extract 1 million (10 lackhs) of records into
    an infocube?
    A. This depends, if you have complex coding in update rules it will take longer
    time, or else it will take less than 30 minutes.
    Q) What are the five ASAP Methodologies?
    A: Project plan, Business Blue print, Realization, Final preparation & Go-Live - support.
    1. Project Preparation: In this phase, decision makers define clear project
    objectives and an efficient decision making process ( i.e. Discussions with the
    client, like what are his needs and requirements etc.). Project managers
    will be involved in this phase (I guess).
    A Project Charter is issued and an implementation strategy is outlined in this
    phase.
    2. Business Blueprint: It is a detailed documentation of your company's
    requirements. (i.e. what are the objects we need to develop are modified
    depending on the client's requirements).
    3. Realization: In this only, the implementation of the project takes place (development
    of objects etc) and we are involved in the project from here only.
    4. Final Preparation: Final preparation before going live i.e. testing,
    conducting pre-go-live, end user training etc.
    End user training is given that is in the client site you train them how to
    work with the new environment, as they are new to the technology.
    5. Go-Live & support: The project has gone live and it is into production.
    The Project team will be supporting the end users.
    Q) What is landscape of R/3 & what is landscape of BW. Landscape of R/3 not
    sure.
    Then Landscape of b/w: u have the development system, testing system, production system
    Development system: All the implementation part is done in this sys. (I.e.,
    Analysis of objects developing, modification etc) and from here the objects are
    transported to the testing system, but before transporting an initial test
    known as Unit testing
    (testing of objects) is done in the development sys.
    Testing/Quality system: quality check is done in this system and integration
    testing is done.
    Production system: All the extraction part takes place in this sys.
    Q) How do you measure the size of infocube?
    A: In no of records.
    Q). Difference between infocube and ODS?
    A: Infocube is structured as star schema (extended) where a fact table is
    surrounded by different dim table that are linked with DIM'ids. And the data
    wise, you will have aggregated data in the cubes. No overwrite functionality
    ODS is a flat structure (flat table) with no star schema concept and which will
    have granular data (detailed level). Overwrite functionality.
    Flat file
    datasources does not support 0recordmode in extraction.
    x before, -after, n new, a add, d delete, r reverse
    Q) Difference between display attributes and navigational attributes?
    A: Display attribute is one, which is used only for display purpose in the
    report. Where as navigational attribute is used for drilling down in the
    report. We don't need to maintain Navigational attribute in the cube as a
    characteristic (that is the advantage) to drill down.
    Q. SOME DATA IS UPLOADED TWICE INTO INFOCUBE. HOW TO CORRECT IT?
    A: But how is it possible? If you load it manually twice, then you can delete
    it by requestID.
    Q. CAN U ADD A NEW FIELD AT THE ODS LEVEL?
    Sure you can. ODS is nothing but a table.
    Q. CAN NUMBER OF DATASOURCES HAVE ONE INFOSOURCE?
    A) Yes of course. For example, for loading text and hierarchies we use
    different data sources but the same InfoSource.
    Q. BRIEF THE DATAFLOW IN BW.
    A) Data flows from transactional system to analytical system (BW). DataSources
    on the transactional system needs to be replicated on BW side and attached to
    infosource and update rules respectively.
    Q. CURRENCY CONVERSIONS CAN BE WRITTEN IN UPDATE RULES. WHY NOT IN TRANSFER
    RULES?
    Q) WHAT IS PROCEDURE TO UPDATE DATA INTO DATA TARGETS?
    FULL and DELTA.
    Q) AS WE USE Sbwnn, sbiw1, sbiw2 for delta update in LIS THEN
    WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IN LO-COCKPIT?
    No LIS in LO cockpit. We will have datasources and can be maintained (append
    fields). Refer white paper
    on LO-Cockpit extractions.
    Q) Why we delete the setup tables (LBWG) & fill them (OLI*BW)?
    A) Initially we don't delete the setup tables but when we do change in extract
    structure we go for it. We r changing the extract structure right, that means
    there are some newly added fields in that which r not before. So to get the
    required data ( i.e.; the data which is required is taken and to avoid
    redundancy) we delete n then fill the setup tables.
    To refresh the statistical data.
    The extraction set up reads the dataset that you want to process such as,
    customers orders with the tables like VBAK, VBAP) & fills the relevant communication
    structure with the data. The data is stored in cluster
    tables from where it is read when the initialization is run. It is important
    that during initialization phase, no one generates or modifies application
    data, at least until the tables can be set up.
    Q) SIGNIFICANCE of ODS?
    It holds granular data (detailed level).
    Q) WHERE THE PSA DATA IS STORED?
    In PSA table.
    Q) WHAT IS DATA SIZE?
    The volume of data one data target holds (in no. of records)
    Q) Different types of INFOCUBES.
    Basic, Virtual (remote, sap remote and multi)
    Virtual Cube is used for example, if you consider railways reservation all the
    information has to be updated online. For designing the Virtual cube you have
    to write the function module that is linking to table, Virtual cube it is like
    a the structure, when ever the table is updated the virtual cube will fetch the
    data from table and display report Online... FYI.. you will get the information
    : https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn
    /index.sdn and search for Designing Virtual Cube and you will get
    a good material designing the Function Module
    Q) INFOSET QUERY.
    Can be made of ODS's and Characteristic InfoObjects with masterdata.
    Q) IF THERE ARE 2 DATASOURCES HOW MANY TRANSFER STRUCTURES ARE THERE.
    In R/3 or in BW? 2 in R/3 and 2 in BW
    Q) ROUTINES?
    Exist in the InfoObject, transfer routines, update routines and start routine
    Q) BRIEF SOME STRUCTURES USED IN BEX.
    Rows and Columns, you can create structures.
    Q) WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES USED IN BEX?
    Different Variable's are Texts, Formulas, Hierarchies, Hierarchy nodes &
    Characteristic values.
    Variable Types are
    Manual entry /default value
    Replacement path
    SAP exit
    Customer exit
    Authorization
    Q) HOW MANY LEVELS YOU CAN GO IN REPORTING?
    You can drill down to any level by using Navigational attributes and jump
    targets.
    Q) WHAT ARE INDEXES?
    Indexes are data base indexes, which help in retrieving data fastly.
    Q) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2.1 AND 3.X VERSIONS.
    Help! Refer documentation
    Q) IS IT NESSESARY TO INITIALIZE EACH TIME THE DELTA UPDATE IS USED?
    No.
    Q) WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KPI'S?
    KPI's indicate the performance of a company. These are key figures
    Q) AFTER THE DATA EXTRACTION
    WHAT IS THE IMAGE POSITION.
    After image (correct me if I am wrong)
    Q) REPORTING AND RESTRICTIONS.
    Help! Refer documentation.
    Q) TOOLS USED FOR PERFORMANCE TUNING.
    ST22, Number ranges, delete indexes before load. Etc
    Q) PROCESS CHAINS: IF U has USED IT THEN HOW WILL U SCHEDULING DATA DAILY.
    There should be some tool to run the job daily (SM37 jobs)
    Q) AUTHORIZATIONS.
    Profile generator
    Q) WEB REPORTING.
    What are you expecting??
    Q) CAN CHARECTERSTIC INFOOBJECT CAN BE INFOPROVIDER.
    Of course
    Q) PROCEDURES OF REPORTING ON MULTICUBES
    Refer help. What are you expecting? MultiCube works on Union condition
    Q) EXPLAIN TRANPSORTATION OF OBJECTS?
    Dev---àQ and Dev-------àP
    Q) What types of partitioning are there for BW?
    There are two Partitioning Performance aspects for BW (Cube & PSA)
    Query Data Retrieval
    Performance Improvement:
    Partitioning by (say) Date Range improves data retrieval by making best use of
    database [data range] execution plans and indexes (of say Oracle database engine).
    B) Transactional Load Partitioning Improvement:
    Partitioning based on expected load volumes and data element sizes. Improves
    data loading into PSA and Cubes by infopackages (Eg. without timeouts).
    Q) How can I compare data in R/3 with data in a BW Cube after the daily delta
    loads? Are there any standard procedures for checking them or matching the
    number of records?
    A) You can go to R/3 TCode RSA3 and run the extractor. It will give you the
    number of records extracted. Then go to BW Monitor to check the number of
    records in the PSA and check to see if it is the same & also in the monitor
    header tab.
    A) RSA3 is a simple extractor checker program that allows you to rule out
    extracts problems in R/3. It is simple to use, but only really tells you if the
    extractor works. Since records that get updated into Cubes/ODS structures are
    controlled by Update Rules, you will not be able to determine what is in the
    Cube compared to what is in the R/3 environment. You will need to compare
    records on a 1:1 basis against records in R/3 transactions for the functional
    area in question. I would recommend enlisting the help of the end user community
    to assist since they presumably know the data.
    To use RSA3, go to it and enter the extractor ex: 2LIS_02_HDR. Click execute
    and you will see the record count, you can also go to display that data. You
    are not modifying anything so what you do in RSA3 has no effect on data quality
    afterwards. However, it will not tell you how many records should be expected
    in BW for a given load. You have that information in the monitor RSMO during
    and after data loads. From RSMO for a given load you can determine how many
    records were passed through the transfer rules from R/3, how many targets were
    updated, and how many records passed through the Update Rules. It also gives
    you error messages from the PSA.
    Q) Types of Transfer Rules?
    A) Field to Field mapping, Constant, Variable & routine.
    Q) Types of Update Rules?
    A) (Check box), Return table
    Q) Transfer Routine?
    A) Routines, which we write in, transfer rules.
    Q) Update Routine?
    A) Routines, which we write in Update rules
    Q) What is the difference between writing a routine in transfer rules and
    writing a routine in update rules?
    A) If you are using the same InfoSource to update data in more than one data
    target its better u write in transfer rules because u can assign one InfoSource
    to more than one data target & and what ever logic u write in update rules
    it is specific to particular one data target.
    Q) Routine with Return Table.
    A) Update rules generally only have one return value. However, you can create a
    routine in the tab strip key figure calculation, by choosing checkbox Return
    table. The corresponding key figure routine then no longer has a return value,
    but a return table. You can then generate as many key figure values, as you
    like from one data record.
    Q) Start routines?
    A) Start routines u can write in both updates rules and transfer rules, suppose
    you want to restrict (delete) some records based on conditions before getting
    loaded into data targets, then you can specify this in update rules-start
    routine.
    Ex: - Delete Data_Package ani ante it will delete a record based on the
    condition
    Q) X & Y Tables?
    X-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDs for time-independent
    navigation attributes.
    Y-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDS for time-dependent navigation
    attributes.
    There are four types of sid tables
    X time independent navigational attributes sid tables
    Y time dependent navigational attributes sid tables
    H hierarchy sid tables
    I hierarchy structure sid tables
    Q) Filters & Restricted Key figures (real time example)
    Restricted KF's u can have for an SD cube: billed quantity, billing value, no:
    of billing documents as RKF's.
    Q) Line-Item Dimension (give me an real time example)
    Line-Item Dimension: Invoice no: or Doc no: is a real time example
    Q) What does the number in the 'Total' column in Transaction RSA7 mean?
    A) The 'Total' column displays the number of LUWs that were written in the
    delta queue and that have not yet been confirmed. The number includes the LUWs
    of the last delta request (for repetition of a delta request) and the LUWs for
    the next delta request. A LUW only disappears from the RSA7 display when it has
    been transferred to the BW System and a new delta request has been received
    from the BW System.
    Q) How to know in which table (SAP BW) contains Technical Name / Description
    and creation data of a particular Reports. Reports that are created using BEx
    Analyzer.
    A) There is no such table in BW if you want to know such details while you are
    opening a particular query press properties button you will come to know all
    the details that you wanted.
    You will find your information about technical names and description about
    queries in the following tables. Directory of all reports (Table RSRREPDIR) and
    Directory of the reporting component elements (Table RSZELTDIR) for workbooks
    and the connections to queries check Where- used list for reports in workbooks
    (Table RSRWORKBOOK) Titles of Excel Workbooks in InfoCatalog (Table
    RSRWBINDEXT)
    Q) What is a LUW in the delta queue?
    A) A LUW from the point of view of the delta queue can be an individual
    document, a group of documents from a collective run or a whole data packet of
    an application
    extractor.
    Q) Why does the number in the 'Total' column in the overview screen of
    Transaction RSA7 differ from the number of data records that is displayed when
    you call the detail view?
    A) The number on the overview screen corresponds to the total of LUWs (see also
    first question) that were written to the qRFC queue and that have not yet been
    confirmed. The detail screen displays the records contained in the LUWs. Both,
    the records belonging to the previous delta request and the records that do not
    meet the selection conditions of the preceding delta init requests are filtered
    out. Thus, only the records that are ready for the next delta request are
    displayed on the detail screen. In the detail screen of Transaction RSA7, a
    possibly existing customer exit is not taken into account.
    Q) Why does Transaction RSA7 still display LUWs on the overview screen after
    successful delta loading?
    A) Only when a new delta has been requested does the source system learn that
    the previous delta was successfully loaded to the BW System. Then, the LUWs of
    the previous delta may be confirmed (and also deleted). In the meantime, the
    LUWs must be kept for a possible delta request repetition. In particular, the
    number on the overview screen does not change when the first delta was loaded
    to the BW System.
    Q) Why are selections not taken into account when the delta queue is filled?
    A) Filtering according to selections takes place when the system reads from the
    delta queue. This is necessary for reasons of performance.
    Q) Why is there a DataSource with '0' records in RSA7 if delta exists and has
    also been loaded successfully?
    It is most likely that this is a DataSource that does not send delta data to
    the BW System via the delta queue but directly via the extractor (delta for
    master data using ALE change pointers). Such a DataSource should not be
    displayed in RSA7. This error is corrected with BW 2.0B Support Package 11.
    Q) Do the entries in table ROIDOCPRMS have an impact on the performance of the
    loading procedure from the delta queue?
    A) The impact is limited. If performance problems are related to the loading
    process from the delta queue, then refer to the application-specific notes (for
    example in the CO-PA area, in the logistics cockpit area and so on).
    Caution: As of Plug In 2000.2 patch 3 the entries in table ROIDOCPRMS are as
    effective for the delta queue as for a full update. Please note, however, that
    LUWs are not split during data loading for consistency reasons. This means that
    when very large LUWs are written to the DeltaQueue, the actual package size may
    differ considerably from the MAXSIZE and MAXLINES parameters.
    Q) Why does it take so long to display the data in the delta queue (for example
    approximately 2 hours)?
    A) With Plug In 2001.1 the display was changed: the user has the option of
    defining the amount of data to be displayed, to restrict it, to selectively
    choose the number of a data record, to make a distinction between the 'actual'
    delta data and the data intended for repetition and so on.
    Q) What is the purpose of function 'Delete data and meta data in a queue' in
    RSA7? What exactly is deleted?
    A) You should act with extreme caution when you use the deletion function in
    the delta queue. It is comparable to deleting an InitDelta in the BW System and
    should preferably be executed there. You do not only delete all data of this
    DataSource for the affected BW System, but also lose the entire information
    concerning the delta initialization. Then you can only request new deltas after
    another delta initialization.
    When you delete the data, the LUWs kept in the qRFC queue for the corresponding
    target system are confirmed. Physical deletion only takes place in the qRFC
    outbound queue if there are no more references to the LUWs.
    The deletion function is for example intended for a case where the BW System,
    from which the delta initialization was originally executed, no longer exists
    or can no longer be accessed.
    Q) Why does it take so long to delete from the delta queue (for example half a
    day)?
    A) Import PlugIn 2000.2 patch 3. With this patch the performance during
    deletion is considerably improved.
    Q) Why is the delta queue not updated when you start the V3 update in the
    logistics cockpit area?
    A) It is most likely that a delta initialization had not yet run or that the
    delta initialization was not successful. A successful delta initialization (the
    corresponding request must have QM status 'green' in the BW System) is a
    prerequisite for the application data being written in the delta queue.
    Q) What is the relationship between RSA7 and the qRFC monitor (Transaction
    SMQ1)?
    A) The qRFC monitor basically displays the same data as RSA7. The internal
    queue name must be used for selection on the initial screen of the qRFC
    monitor. This is made up of the prefix 'BW, the client and the short name of
    the DataSource. For DataSources whose name are 19 characters long or shorter,
    the short name corresponds to the name of the DataSource. For DataSources whose
    name is longer than 19 characters (for delta-capable DataSources only possible
    as of PlugIn 2001.1) the short name is assigned in table ROOSSHORTN.
    In the qRFC monitor you cannot distinguish between repeatable and new LUWs.
    Moreover, the data of a LUW is displayed in an unstructured manner there.
    Q) Why are the data in the delta queue although the V3 update was not started?
    A) Data was posted in background. Then, the records are updated directly in the
    delta queue (RSA7). This happens in particular during automatic goods receipt
    posting (MRRS). There is no duplicate transfer of records to the BW system. See
    Note 417189.
    Q) Why does button 'Repeatable' on the RSA7 data details screen not only show
    data loaded into BW during the last delta but also data that were newly added,
    i.e. 'pure' delta records?
    A) Was programmed in a way that the request in repeat mode fetches both
    actually repeatable (old) data and new data from the source system.
    Q) I loaded several delta inits with various selections. For which one is the
    delta loaded?
    A) For delta, all selections made via delta inits are summed up. This means, a
    delta for the 'total' of all delta initializations is loaded.
    Q) How many selections for delta inits are possible in the system?
    A) With simple selections (intervals without complicated join conditions or
    single values), you can make up to about 100 delta inits. It should not be
    more.
    With complicated selection conditions, it should be only up to 10-20 delta
    inits.
    Reason: With many selection conditions that are joined in a complicated way,
    too many 'where' lines are generated in the generated ABAP
    source code that may exceed the memory limit.
    Q) I intend to copy the source system, i.e. make a client copy. What will
    happen with may delta? Should I initialize again after that?
    A) Before you copy a source client or source system, make sure that your deltas
    have been fetched from the DeltaQueue into BW and that no delta is pending.
    After the client copy, an inconsistency might occur between BW delta tables and
    the OLTP delta tables as described in Note 405943. After the client copy, Table
    ROOSPRMSC will probably be empty in the OLTP since this table is
    client-independent. After the system copy, the table will contain the entries
    with the old logical system name that are no longer useful for further delta
    loading from the new logical system. The delta must be initialized in any case
    since delta depends on both the BW system and the source system. Even if no
    dump 'MESSAGE_TYPE_X' occurs in BW when editing or creating an InfoPackage, you
    should expect that the delta have to be initialized after the copy.
    Q) Is it allowed in Transaction SMQ1 to use the functions for manual control of
    processes?
    A) Use SMQ1 as an instrument for diagnosis and control only. Make changes to BW
    queues only after informing the BW Support or only if this is explicitly
    requested in a note for component 'BC-BW' or 'BW-WHM-SAPI'.
    Q) Despite of the delta request being started after completion of the
    collective run (V3 update), it does not contain all documents. Only another
    delta request loads the missing documents into BW. What is the cause for this
    "splitting"?
    A) The collective run submits the open V2 documents for processing to the task
    handler, which processes them in one or several parallel update processes in an
    asynchronous way. For this reason, plan a sufficiently large "safety time
    window" between the end of the collective run in the source system and the
    start of the delta request in BW. An alternative solution where this problem
    does not occur is described in Note 505700.
    Q) Despite my deleting the delta init, LUWs are still written into the
    DeltaQueue?
    A) In general, delta initializations and deletions of delta inits should always
    be carried out at a time when no posting takes place. Otherwise, buffer
    problems may occur: If a user started the internal mode at a time when the
    delta initialization was still active, he/she posts data into the queue even
    though the initialization had been deleted in the meantime. This is the case in
    your system.
    Q) In SMQ1 (qRFC Monitor) I have status 'NOSEND'. In the table TRFCQOUT, some
    entries have the status 'READY', others 'RECORDED'. ARFCSSTATE is 'READ'. What
    do these statuses mean? Which values in the field 'Status' mean what and which
    values are correct and which are alarming? Are the statuses BW-specific or
    generally valid in qRFC?
    A) Table TRFCQOUT and ARFCSSTATE: Status READ means that the record was read
    once either in a delta request or in a repetition of the delta request.
    However, this does not mean that the record has successfully reached the BW
    yet. The status READY in the TRFCQOUT and RECORDED in the ARFCSSTATE means that
    the record has been written into the DeltaQueue and will be loaded into the BW
    with the next delta request or a repetition of a delta. In any case only the
    statuses READ, READY and RECORDED in both tables are considered to be valid.
    The status EXECUTED in TRFCQOUT can occur temporarily. It is set before
    starting a DeltaExtraction for all records with status READ present at that
    time. The records with status EXECUTED are usually deleted from the queue in
    packages within a delta request directly after setting the status before
    extracting a new delta. If you see such records, it means that either a process
    which is confirming and deleting records which have been loaded into the BW is
    successfully running at the moment, or, if the records remain in the table for
    a longer period of time with status EXECUTED, it is likely that there are
    problems with deleting the records which have already been successfully been
    loaded into the BW. In this state, no more deltas are loaded into the BW. Every
    other status is an indicator for an error or an inconsistency. NOSEND in SMQ1
    means nothing (see note 378903).
    The value 'U' in field 'NOSEND' of table TRFCQOUT is discomforting.
    Q) The extract structure was changed when the DeltaQueue was empty. Afterwards
    new delta records were written to the DeltaQueue. When loading the delta into
    the PSA, it shows that some fields were moved. The same result occurs when the
    contents of the DeltaQueue are listed via the detail display. Why are the data
    displayed differently? What can be done?
    Make sure that the change of the extract structure is also reflected in the
    database and that all servers are synchronized. We recommend to reset the
    buffers using Transaction $SYNC. If the extract structure change is not
    communicated synchronously to the server where delta records are being created,
    the records are written with the old structure until the new structure has been
    generated. This may have disastrous consequences for the delta.
    When the problem occurs, the delta needs to be re-initialized.
    Q) How and where can I control whether a repeat delta is requested?
    A) Via the status of the last delta in the BW Request Monitor. If the request
    is RED, the next load will be of type 'Repeat'. If you need to repeat the last
    load for certain reasons, set the request in the monitor to red manually. For
    the contents of the repeat see Question 14. Delta requests set to red despite
    of data being already updated lead to duplicate records in a subsequent repeat,
    if they have not been deleted from the data targets concerned before.
    Q) As of PI 2003.1, the Logistic Cockpit offers various types of update
    methods. Which update method is recommended in logistics? According to which
    criteria should the decision be made? How can I choose an update method in
    logistics?
    See the recommendation in Note 505700.
    Q) Are there particular recommendations regarding the data volume the
    DeltaQueue may grow to without facing the danger of a read failure due to
    memory problems?
    A) There is no strict limit (except for the restricted number range of the
    24-digit QCOUNT counter in the LUW management table - which is of no practical
    importance, however - or the restrictions regarding the volume and number of
    records in a database table).
    When estimating "smooth" limits, both the number of LUWs is important
    and the average data volume per LUW. As a rule, we recommend to bundle data
    (usually documents) already when writing to the DeltaQueue to keep number of
    LUWs small (partly this can be set in the applications, e.g. in the Logistics
    Cockpit). The data volume of a single LUW should not be considerably larger
    than 10% of the memory available to the work process for data extraction
    (in a 32-bit architecture with a memory volume of about 1GByte per work
    process, 100 Mbytes per LUW should not be exceeded). That limit is of rather
    small practical importance as well since a comparable limit already applies
    when writing to the DeltaQueue. If the limit is observed, correct reading is
    guaranteed in most cases.
    If the number of LUWs cannot be reduced by bundling application transactions,
    you should at least make sure that the data are fetched from all connected BWs
    as quickly as possible. But for other, BW-specific, reasons, the frequency
    should not be higher than one DeltaRequest per hour.
    To avoid memory problems, a program-internal limit ensures that never more than
    1 million LUWs are read and fetched from the database per DeltaRequest. If this
    limit is reached within a request, the DeltaQueue must be emptied by several
    successive DeltaRequests. We recommend, however, to try not to reach that limit
    but trigger the fetching of data from the connected BWs already when the number
    of LUWs reaches a 5-digit value.
    Q) I would like to display the date the data was uploaded on the
    report. Usually, we load the transactional data nightly. Is there any easy way
    to include this information on the report for users? So that they know the
    validity of the report.
    A) If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to display the date on
    which data was loaded into the data target from which the report is being
    executed. If it is so, configure your workbook to display the text elements in
    the report. This displays the relevance of data field, which is the date on which
    the data load has taken place.
    Q) Can we filter the fields at Transfer Structure?
    Q) Can we load data directly into infoobject with out extraction is it
    possible.
    Yes. We can copy from other infoobject if it is same. We load data from PSA if
    it is already in PSA.
    Q) HOW MANY DAYS CAN WE KEEP THE DATA IN PSA, IF WE R SHEDULED DAILY, WEEKLY
    AND MONTHLY.
    a) We can set the time.
    Q) HOW CAN U GET THE DATA FROM CLIENT IF U R WORKING ON OFFSHORE PROJECTS.
    THROUGH WHICH NETWORK.
    a) VPN…………….Virtual
    Private Network, VPN is nothing but one sort of network
    where we can connect to the client systems sitting in offshore through RAS
    (Remote access server).
    Q) HOW CAN U ANALIZE THE PROJECT AT FIRST?
    Prepare Project Plan and Environment
    Define Project Management
    Standards and
    Procedures
    Define Implementation Standards and Procedures
    Testing & Go-live + supporting.
    Q) THERE is one ODS AND 4 INFOCUBES. WE SEND DATA AT TIME TO ALL CUBES IF ONE
    CUBE GOT LOCK ERROR. HOW CAN U RECTIFY THE ERROR?
    Go to TCode sm66 then see which one is locked select that pid from there and
    goto sm12
    TCode then unlock it this is happened when lock errors are occurred when u
    scheduled.
    Q) Can anybody tell me how to add a navigational attribute in the BEx report in
    the rows?
    A) Expand dimension under left side panel (that is infocube panel) select than
    navigational attributes drag and drop under rows panel.
    Q) IF ANY TRASACTION CODE LIKE SMPT OR STMT.
    In current systems (BW 3.0B and R/3 4.6B) these Tcodes don't exist!
    Q) WHAT IS TRANSACTIONAL CUBE?
    A) Transactional InfoCubes differ from standard InfoCubes in that the former
    have an improved write access performance level. Standard InfoCubes are
    technically optimized for read-only access and for a comparatively small number
    of simultaneous accesses. Instead, the transactional InfoCube was developed to
    meet the demands of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM), meaning that,
    data is written to the InfoCube (possibly by several users at the same time)
    and re-read as soon as possible. Standard Basic cubes are not suitable for
    this.
    Q) Is there any way to delete cube contents within update rules from an ODS
    data source? The reason for this would be to delete (or zero out) a cube record
    in an "Open Order" cube if the open order quantity was 0.
    I've tried using the 0recordmode but that doesn't work. Also, would it
    be easier to write a program that would be run after the load and delete
    the records with a zero open qty?
    A) START routine for update rules u can write ABAP code.
    A) Yap, you can do it. Create a start routine in Update rule.
    It is not "Deleting cube contents with update rules" It is only
    possible to avoid that some content is updated into the InfoCube using the
    start routine. Loop at all the records and delete the record that has the
    condition. "If the open order quantity was 0" You have to think also
    in before and after images in case of a delta upload. In that case you may
    delete the change record and keep the old and after the change the wrong
    information.
    Q) I am not able to access a node in hierarchy directly using variables for
    reports. When I am using Tcode RSZV it is giving a message that it doesn't
    exist in BW 3.0 and it is embedded in BEx. Can any one tell me the other
    options to get the same functionality in BEx?
    A) Tcode RSZV is used in the earlier version of 3.0B only. From 3.0B onwards,
    it's possible in the Query Designer (BEx) itself. Just right click on the
    InfoObject for which you want to use as variables and precede further selecting
    variable type and proce

  • BW Interview Questions 2

    Hi,
    Here are some BW interview questions. Make sure you have prepared for all the q's before going for an interview.
    1) Please describe your experience with BEx (Business Explorer)
    A) Rate your level of experience with BEx and the rationale for you’re self-rating
    B) How many queries have you developed? :
    C) How many reports have you written?
    D) How many workbooks have you developed?
    E) Experience with jump targets (OLTP, use jump target)
    F) Describe experience with BW-compatible ETL tools (e.g. Ascential)
    2) Describe your experience with 3rd party report tools (Crystal Decisions, Business Objects a plus)
    3) Describe your experience with the design and implementation of standard & custom InfoCubes.
    1. How many InfoCubes have you implemented from start to end by yourself (not with a team)?
    2. Of these Cubes, how many characteristics (including attributes) did the largest one have.
    3. How much customization was done on the InfoCubes have you implemented?
    4) Describe your experience with requirements definition/gathering.
    5) What experience have you had creating Functional and Technical specifications?
    6) Describe any testing experience you have:
    7) Describe your experience with BW extractors
    1. How many standard BW extractors have you implemented?
    2. How many custom BW extractors have you implemented?
    8) Describe how you have used Excel as a compliment to BEx
    A) Describe your level of expertise and the rationale for your self-rating (experience with macros, pivot tables and formatting)
    B)
    9) Describe experience with ABAP
    10) Describe any hands on experience with ASAP Methodology.
    11) Identify SAP functional areas (SEM, CRM, etc.) you have experience in. Describe that experience.
    12) What is partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube?
    A) Partitioning is the method of dividing a table (either column wise or row wise) based on the fields available which would enable a quick reference for the intended values of the fields in the table. By partitioning an infocube, the reporting performance is enhanced because it is easier to search in smaller tables. Also table maintenance becomes easier.
    13) What does Rollup do?
    A) Rollup creates aggregates in an infocube whenever new data is loaded.
    14) What are the inputs for an infoset?
    A) The inputs for an infoset are ODS objects and InfoObjects (with master data or text).
    15) What internally happens when BW objects like Info Object, Info Cube or ODS are created and activated?
    A) When an InfoObject, InfoCube or ODS object is created, BW maintains a saved version of that object but does not make it available for use. Once the object is activated, BW creates an active version that is available for use.
    16) What is the maximum number of key fields that you can have in an ODS object?
    A) 16.
    17) What is the specific advantage of LO extraction over LIS extraction?
    A) The load performance of LO extraction is better than that of LIS. In LIS two tables are used for delta management that is cumbersome. In LO only one delta queue is used for delta management.
    18) What is the importance of 0REQUID?
    A) It is the InfoObject for Request id. OREQUID enables BW to distinguish between different data records.
    19) Can you add programs in the scheduler?
    A) Yes. Through event handling.
    20) What is the importance of the table ROIDOCPRMS?
    A) It is an IDOC parameter source system. This table contains the details of the data transfer like the source system of the data, data packet size, maximum number of lines in a data packet, etc. The data packet size can be changed through the control parameters option on SBIW i.e., the contents of this table can be changed.
    21) What is the importance of 'start routine' in update rules?
    A) A Start routine is a user exit that can be executed before the update rule starts to allow more complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. The start routine has no return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store them in a global data structure. You can access this structure or table in the other routines.
    22) When is IDOC data transfer used?
    A) IDOCs are used for communication between logical systems like SAP R/3, R/2 and non-SAP systems using ALE and for communication between an SAP R/3 system and a non-SAP system. In BW, an IDOC is a data container for data exchange between SAP systems or between SAP systems and external systems based on an EDI interface. IDOCs support limited file size of 1000 bytes. So IDOCs are not used when loading data into PSA since data there is more detailed. It is used when the file size is lesser than 1000 bytes.
    23) What is partitioning characteristic in CO-PA used for?
    A) For easier parallel search and load of data.
    24) What is the advantage of BW reporting on CO-PA data compared with directly running the queries on CO-PA?
    A) BW has a better performance advantage over reporting in R/3. For a huge amount of data, the R/3 reporting tool is at a serious disadvantage because R/3 is modeled as an OLTP system and is good for transaction processing rather than analytical processing.
    25) What is the function of BW statistics cube?
    A) BW statistics cube contains the data related to the reporting performance and the data loads of all the InfoCubes in the BW system.
    26) When an ODS is in 'overwrite' mode, does uploading the same data again and again create new entries in the change log each time data is uploaded?
    A) No.
    27) What is the function of 'selective deletion' tab in the manage->contents of an infocube?
    A) It allows us to select a particular value of a particular field and delete its contents.
    28) When we collapse an infocube, is the consolidated data stored in the same infocubeinfocube? or is it stored in the new
    A) Data is stored in the same cube.
    29) What is the effect of aggregation on the performance? Are there any negative effects on the performance?
    A) Aggregation improves the performance in reporting.
    30) What happens when you load transaction data without loading master data?
    A) The transaction data gets loaded and the master data fields remain blank.
    31) When given a choice between a single infocube and multiple InfoCubes with a multiprovider, what factors does one need to consider before making a decision?
    A) One would have to see if the InfoCubes are used individually. If these cubes are often used individually, then it is better to go for a multiprovider with many cubes since the reporting would be faster for an individual cube query rather than for a big cube with lot of data.
    32) How many hierarchy levels can be created for a characteristic info object?
    A) Maximum of 98 levels.
    33) What is open hub service?
    A) The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the Infospoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred. Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
    34) What is the function of 'reconstruction' tab in an infocube?
    A) It reconstructs the deleted requests from the infocube. If a request has been deleted and later someone wants the data records of that request to be added to the infocube, one can use the reconstruction tab to add those records. It goes to the PSA and brings the data to the infocube.
    35) What are secondary indexes with respect to InfoCubes?
    A) Index created in addition to the primary index of the infocube. When you activate a table in the ABAP Dictionary, an index is created on the primary key fields of the table. Further indexes created for the table are called secondary indexes.
    36) What is DB connect and where is it used?
    A) DB connect is database connecting piece of program. It is used in connecting third party tools with BW for reporting purpose.
    37) Can we extract hierarchies from R/3 for CO-PA?
    A) No We cannot, “NO hierarchies in CO/PA�?.
    38) Explain ‘field name for partitioning’ in CO-PA
    A) The CO/PA partitioning is used to decrease package size (eg: company code)
    39) What is V3 update method ?
    A) It is a program in R/3 source system that schedules batch jobs to update extract structure to data source collectively.
    40) Differences between serialized and non-serialized V3 updates
    41) What is the common method of finding the tables used in any R/3 extraction
    A) By using the transaction LISTSCHEMA we can navigate the tables.
    42) Differences between table view and infoset query
    A) An InfoSet Query is a query using flat tables.
    43) How to load data from one InfoCube to another InfoCube ?
    A) Thro DataMarts data can be loaded from one InfoCube to another InfoCube.
    44) What is the significance of setup tables in LO extractions ?
    A) It adds the Selection Criteria to the LO extraction.
    45) Difference between extract structure and datasource
    A) In Datasource we define the data from diff source sys,where as in extract struct it contains the replicated data of datasource n where in we can define extract rules, n transfer rules
    B) Extract Structure is a record layout of InfoObjects.
    C) Extract Structure is created on SAP BW system.
    46) What happens internally when Delta is Initialized
    47) What is referential integrity mechanism ?
    A) Referential integrity is the property that guarantees that values from one column depend on values from another column.This property is enforced through integrity constraints.
    48) What is activation of extract structure in LO ?
    49) What is the difference between Info IDoc and data IDoc ?
    50) What is D-Management in LO ?
    A) It is a method used in delta update methods, which is based on change log in LO.
    Plz experts.. provide the answers for the questions..
    Thanx in advance.

  • Security interview questions - some fun to tickle your brain.

    Hello gurus,
    I know that posting interview question series are not allowed if the person has not put in any effort, but I have and folks seem to want to practice a bit sometimes so I take the liberty of creating a central one.
    Tackle one or all of them to test your knowledge.
    There are no model answers.

    1)     When PFCG proposes 3 activities but you only want 2, how do you fix this?
    2)     What is the use of transaction PFUD at midnight?
    3)     Is PFUD needed when saving in SU01 and does the user need to logoff and on again after changes?
    4)     How are web services represented in authorizations of users who are not logged on?
    5)     How do you force a user to change their password and on which grounds would you do so?

    20)            Why should you delete SAP_NEW profile and which transaction should you use before doing so?
    To be continued...

    I have one year experience in SAP Security and only two in Basis, so flame on......... I swear I didn't use google or any of my systems for reference!<br><br>
    1) When PFCG proposes 3 activities but you only want 2, how do you fix this? Best answer is to modify your su24 data. <br><br>
    2) What is the use of transaction PFUD at midnight? removes invalid profiles from user records <br><br>
    3)Is PFUD needed when saving in SU01 and does the user need to logoff and on again after changes? PFUD is not needed and the user needs to log off and back on again <br><br>
    4)How are web services represented in authorizations of users who are not logged on? ?? <br><br>
    5)How do you force a user to change their password and on which grounds would you do so? SU01 -> Logon Data tab -> Deactivate password. I am not sure what grounds this would be necessary. I have never had to use it. <br><br>
    6)What is the difference between SU24 and SU22? What is "orginal data" in SU22 context? SU22 you maintain authorization objects???? Su24 you maintain which authorization objects are checked in transactions and maintain the authorization proposals. <br><br>
    7)When an authorization check on S_BTCH_JOB fails, what happens? "You do not have authorization to perform whatever operation you are trying to perform." message. HAHA <br><br>
    8)Can you have more than one set of org-level values in one role? I might be misinterpreting this question. But yes. Depending on the transactions inserted into the role menu, you could have more than one org level to maintain. Purchasing Org and Plant, Sales Org and Sales Division..... <br><br>
    9)Should RFC users have SAP_NEW and why? No. Just insert the transactions and necessary authorization objects into a role. S_RFC for one. <br><br>
    10) What is an X-glueb command and where do you use it in SAP security? ??? <br><br>
    11) What is the disadvantage of searching for AUTHORITY-CHECK statements in ABAP OO coding and how does SU53 deal with this? Disadvantage? I can think of an advantage. My ABAPer shows me his programs and we work out what authority checks should be performed. <br><br>
    12) In which tables can you make customizing settings for the security administration and name one example of such a setting which is usefull but not SAP default? ??? <br><br>
    13) Can you use the information in SM20N to build roles and how? You could, I guess. Not a good practice though. Build roles based on business processes. <br><br>
    14) If the system raises a message that authorizations are missing but you have SAP_ALL, what do you do? Regenerate SAP_ALL which reconciles new authorization objects from SAP_NEW <br><br>
    15) Name any one security related SAP note and explain it's purpose or solution. Don't know the number off hand, but I was looking at it yesterday. Program Z_DEL_AGR to allow deletion of more than one role at a time. There is no mechanism in SAP to achieve this currently. <br><br>
    16) What are the two primary difference between a SAML token profile and a Logon ticket in SAP? ??? I know what these are but have no experience with it. <br><br>

    Dear Raj,
      you  can go through the following questions and answers which will help you.
    How can a planning version be frozen and unfrozen?
    A Planning Version can be frozen and unfrozen using Function Module /SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_VERSIO_FREEZE so that no further changes to the planning version can be done.
    What is Release Profile?
    Release Profile is used to release timeseries data from DP to SNP/PPDS. You need to define the DP Planning Area and timeseries keyfigure the data in which is released and the SNP Category Type (typically FA) to which data is released. You may maintain a Daily Buckets Profile it will define the number of working days (working days determined based on Shipping Calendar maintained for the location master) starting on and from the From Date if released online/ interactively or that many workdays of the planning horizon when release is carried out in background. The Period Split (blank, 1 and 2) field in the SNP2 tab of location-product master determines how demand plan is released to SNP from DP (how bucketed data is disaggregated to the workdays).
    What is the usage of Period Factor?
    Period Factor maintained in the SNP PPM or Transportation Lane determines the Availability Date of a Receipt element within a time bucket (period). The system determines the exact availability date/time of the receipt elements within a period, by adding a time interval (that it gets by multiplying the period factor with the period length) to the start time of the period. You can enter a factor between 0 and 1, where 0 is the start of the period, 0.5 the middle, and 1 the end of the period. When calculating the availability date/time, the system takes into consideration all weekdays, meaning that it does not take into consideration any days that have been defined as non-workdays in the calendars.
    Period Factor used is .71 = 7x0.71 = 4.97 or 5 days from ptimizer of weekly bucket resulting in a Friday.
    If Period Factor is not maintained in PPM or Transportation Lane then the User Period Factor indicator and the Period Factor value maintained in the Lot Size tab of the location-product combination is used. If this is not maintained a default value of 0.5 is used.
    What determines stock categories displayed in Stock on Hand keyfigure?
    The categories defined in Category Group ST1 (can be maintained in table /SAPAPO/APOCGC) determine the stock categories that are displayed in the Initial bucket in the Stock on Hand keyfigure. Subsequent buckets are dynamically computed.
    Does dynamic alerts show up in Alert Monitor?
    Dynamic Alerts do not show up in the stand-alone alert monitor. Network alerts are to show pegging relationships.
    What is the report to execute MASSD?
    The report for executing MassD in background job is MASSBACK.
    What is the shortcut to change location type in APO?
    Report /SAPAPO/CHECK_LOCATION_TYPE can be used to change location type (say from 1001 to 1002 or vice-versa) of existing locations in APO. The table to refer is /SAPAPO/LOCMAP. SAP does not recommend this process.
    How can a transaction be executed even when no authorization?
    SE93 - Transaction code for Transaction Code E.g. CRC1 Create Resource has txn code CRAH. So if you do not have authorization to create resource you can use SE93 and enter txn CRAH and then Test F8 button to go to the txn.
    How to copy a Process Chain?
    To copy a process chain to another process chain, goto the Process Chain you want to copy and then type copy in the tool tar and hit enter. It will allow you to copy the Process Chain to another Process Chain that can be modified as per user's requirement, saved, activated and used.
    What is the process to copy planning versions in R/3?
    Use OLIX to first delete previous MRP planning versions. Then use MCB& to create the new MRP planning versions by choosing the appropriate version you want to create as ICO Version. The info structure in this case is S094.
    How to use create planning book with two tables?
    To use two tables on one screen of Planning Book/Data View - select indicator next to second page title and give name. Additional tab page is displayed in Planning Book Maintenance wizard to define the keyfigures for the second table.
    What is Master Data in DP?
    Master Data in Demand Planning primarily is Charcateristic Value Combinations commonly termed CVCs. CVCs are the planning combinations against which data is stored in keyfigures.
    What is the behaviour of Procurement Type X?
    Procurement Type X - source selection is based on matching due date then priority then cost. If both In-house Production and External Procuremnet is possible then In-house Production (PPM) is chosen as source of supply.
    What is PPDS Fixing Horizon?
    PP/DS fixing Horizon defines the PP/DS time Fence - within that period if heuristic is run no orders get changed.
    What is the reuse mode in Product Heuristic?
    Reuse mode in Product Heuristic - makes the system to reuse orders already present in the heuristic run i.e. orders are not deleted and recreated.
    What is Planning Procedure?
    Planning Procedure in Product Master (PP/DS) defines that when you convert a planned order to process order it is in Deallocated state and not Scheduled state and more.
