Hi sailekha;
Pls go through the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/d2e26b696b11d5b2f50050da4c74dc/content.htm
For the multi-cube;
you can create a reports out of different infoprovider...let's say you have infocube for actual and another for plan...you can create a report to see actual and plan both...
Hope this helps.

Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting

Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.

Hi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.

How the data is fetched from the cube for reporting - with and without BIA

hi all,
I need to understand the below scenario:(as to how the data is fetched from the cube for reporting)
I have a query, on a multiprovider connected to cubes say A and B. A is on BIA index, B is not. There are no aggregates created on both the cubes.
CASE 1: I have taken RSRT stats with BIA on, in aggregation layer it says
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table type      ***** Viewed at      ***** Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube A     ***** blank ***** 0.624305      ***** 8,087,502      ***** 2,011
Cube B     ***** E ***** 42.002653 ***** 1,669,126      ***** 6
Cube B     ***** F ***** 98.696442 ***** 2,426,006 ***** 6
CASE 2:I have taken the RSRT stats, disabling the BIA index, in aggregation layer it says:
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table Type     *****Viewed at     *****Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube B     *****E     *****46.620825     ****1,669,126****     6
Cube B     *****F     ****106.148337****     2,426,030*****     6
Cube A     *****E     *****61.939073     *****3,794,113     *****3,499
Cube A     *****F     ****90.721171****     4,293,420     *****5,584
now my question is why is here a huge difference in the number of records transported for cube A when compared to case 1. The input criteria for both the cases are the same and the result output is matching. There is no change in the number of records selected for cube A in both cases.It is 8,087,502 in both cases.
Can someone pls clarify on this difference in records being selected.

Hi,
yes, Vitaliy could be guess right. Please check if FEMS compression is enabled (note 1308274).
What you can do to get more details about the selection is to activate the execurtion plan SQL/BWA queries in data manager. You can also activate the trace functions for BWA in RSRT. So you need to know how both queries select its data.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for sharing your analysis.
The only reason I could think logically is BWA is having information in both E and F tables in one place and hence after selecting the records, it is able to aggregate and transport the reords to OLAP.
In the second case, since E and F tables are separate, aggregation might be happening at OLAP and hence you see more number of records.
Our Experts in BWA forum might be able to answer in a better way, if you post this question over there.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Is anybody using Virtual PC Home Edition for Mac 7

Hi,
Is anybody using Virtual PC Home Edition for Mac 7 & is it any good?
Have you had any problems?
Jeff

Virtual PC is outdated and probably doesn't even run under Snow Leopard (since you're posting in the Snow Leopard forum).
For running Windows software next to Mac software, your current choices are Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, and others. All will run much faster than Virtual PC anyway.

Can we use remote cubes for real time data

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain, can remote cubes be used for sales item and billing item ,data sources, if it, can i extract the data as of normal cube running on these DataSource, if so then i want to make multicube on normal cube and remote cube and make a real time sales data on BW, please explain the possibilities of this, we are on version 3.1c
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Remote cubes are special InfoCubes. A Remote cube represents a logical view.
Unlike with BasisCubes however, no data is physically stored in SAP BW. The
data is taken from the source systems only after a query has been executed.
There are three types of remote cube. They can be distinguished by the way
in which they retrieve data.
Overview: Virtual Cube Types
-SAP RemoteCube
A SAP RemoteCube allows you to define queries with direct access to transaction data in other SAP systems.
-General RemoteCube:
A general Remote Cube allows reporting using data from non-SAP systems. The external system transfers the requested data to the OLAP processor via the BAPI.
-Virtual InfoCube with Services:
For a virtual InfoCube with services, a user-defined function module is used as the data source.

Back up cube for report from planning area

Hi Gurus,
We are in implementation and i had seen that client wanted to see daily data and wanted to delete that data and load next day data.One more point is client even wanted monthly data as well in a same cube and this two facilities should be in single info cube.
How is is possible?
for further info we have calday and calmonth time Chart.
please suggest me some good ideas.
I will be verythankfull to your suggestions.
Thanks a Lot
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can use SAP BW to create reports for the user. You have the option of using an external BW system or the BW system that is coupled with the APO server. If you have an external BW system, then it is recommended that you report from there. As you may know APO is an OLTP system and thus is configured for such. The external BW system will be configured for OLAP access and thus would be much more suitable for reporting purposes.
You may want create a SAP RemoteCube so that the data in your report is "as fresh as possible".
Here are the steps if you will be using the BW component in the APO system:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area. (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
2) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource your have created in step 1. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
If you will be using an external BW system here are the steps:
1) Create an export datasource for your planning area in the APO system (Transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR)
In the external BW system:
2)replicate the datasource your have created.(transaction RSA1, Modelling tab, sourcesystems->choose the APO system->Right click->Replicate DataSources).
3) Create an InfoSource and attach the datasource that you have created in step 2. (transaction RSA1 Modelling tab)
3) Create a SAP RemoteCube and attach your InfoSource and SourceSystem to that.
4) Create a BeX query and a BeX report (either in Web or Excel).
Note that a RemoteCube is only suitable for few users only. If you will have many users, you need to create a Basic InfoCube instead.
In your BeX query, you can choose the granularity of your report. If you want your report to be aggregated to monthly level then be sure to include the 0CALMONTH InfoObject.
Please post again if things are not clear and I will be happy to help out.

Are there any advantages to using a Data Value Reference for LabVIEW Classes?

Hi
I recently came across an example where the developer had used a data value reference for the class cluster in LabVIEW.
What are the advantages of doing this?
Doesn't the use of LV objects already avoid the creation of multiple copies of data thereby reducting memory usage?
Thanks
AD

LabVIEW's OOP is implemented as a By Value. This means, as Tst stated, branches in wires could mean copies in the object. The DVR is a way to make it By Reference.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Cube for Reporting

Hi All,
What sort of optimization techniques i need to follow in order to build a cube for fast retrievals.I do not mind of disc space, but for the users retrivals should be fast. Please suggest!!
Regards,
HR

ASO cubes are much faster to calculate but I don't know that they are any quicker to retrieve from. Materalizing aggragations makes them faster than if you don't. And of course MDX formulas could slow down retrieval depending on how complex the formula is. That said, just like BSO cubes, they are pretty quick to retrieve from in most cases

Advantage of using 1310 vs. 1242 for outdoor users

my customer wants to know what are the advantage of using the 1310 as AP vs using 1242 AP for outdoor users. We know that we can wired the 1242 internally within the building and extend the antennas to outdoor for outdoor users. I know that the 1310 is for outdoor but is there anything else that can help us get the client to buy the 1310 instead of using 1242. We do not do bridging.

The 1310 supports 802.11b/g only and 1242 have dual radios and by this support 802.11a/b/g. So this depends on the needs on your clients. If you dont need long antenna cable runs the 1242 could be enough and is also cheaper. Or put it in a NEMA enclosure and use PoE to feed it.
Look here for examples:
http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/nema_enclosures_examples.php
Personally i would use 1242. We have replaced 1310 bridges with 1242 aps, because the 2,4Ghz band is too noisy.

Hi Cherise,
Vishal's link looks good.
I have commercial experience in migrating Crystal Reports to SSRS. When performing any type of migration it is always wise for the business requirements to be revisited. It is likely that the business requirements may have changed since the Crystal reports
were initially developed, etc.
I've done some research for you and the following link looks quiet impressive and offers a cheap trial, in terms of a direct migration. Please tell me how you get on; -
http://www.sqlcircuit.com/2013/08/ssrs-how-to-create-report-using-excel.html
I emphasis again I have commercial experience of lots of migration projects and it would be very unwise to not revisit the business requirements as part of the migration process.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

PCA Virtual Cube for Balance Sheet/Profit & Loss

Hi
I ma trying to create a Balance Sheet and P&L for profit centers, similar to the BS & PL available on 0FIGL_V11. I have assigned 0GLACCEXT to a custom virtual provider, but I am unsure whether I can use the same function module (RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET) on the custom VC or should whether I will need to create my own.
If I need to create my own Function Module, can I copy RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET, but how should I adapt it? Are there any other function modules more suited to this task?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

hi,
make a copy of RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1 or RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC2

BW Cubes for reporting of Goods Receipts for materials

Hi,
I need information regarding cubes, I beleive they will be from MM area, required to be installed to report on Goods receipt for materials and the associated amount Spend that will result from those receipts, including related charges and fees.
Please share the information.
Thanks,
Rajani

HI,
If you need to get only goods receipts at MM Side you should be aware of movement types generally 1* in your system to get their values and Quantities.
If you are going from FI Side you can have FI Document type WE for GR which will help you in getting the spend amount .
Hope this helps for you.
Thanks.
Arun
