Aggregation level - design  question

Hi, All
we are in BI-IP ( Netweaver 2004s SPS16).
I have a design question for this scenario.
User needs to plan the amounts for a duration (start period and end period), Jan2008 -Dec2008 (001.2008, 012.2008) = 12000.
We need to distribute this to the periods equally. 001.2008 = 1000, 002.2008 =1000 .... 012.2008=1000.
If the user changes the period amounts, it should be reflected back in the duration amount.
Pl suggest the design for the aggregation levels to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Velu,
As the name also goes, creating an "aggregation level" will only result in "aggregation". What your requirement is, is called disaggregation or distribution - this cannot happen automatically - you will either have to use the feature in input queries or use the distribution planning function or create your own planning function using fox/exit.

  • Aggregation level and planning filter question

    Hi,
    I have below questions on aggregation levels and planning fitlers.
    Scenario: An Aggregation level is built on a multiprovider( Actual Cub1(5 chars, 4 keyfig), Actual Cube2(8 chars, 6 key fig), and Real Time Cube3(8 chars and 3 keyfig)). A FOX copy function has to be built on this aggregation level in which data from cube1 will be copied to cube 3.
    1. Does an Aggregation level need to have all chars and keyfigures from cube 1 and cube 3? or it should have structure of Cube 3 only as data will be written to cube 3?
    - what are the standard design considerations for defining aggregation level?
    2. In planning filter, both cube1 and cube3 are to be restricted or only cube3?
    Is it necessary that only target planning cube is to be resricted? In that case how function will get the source data from cube1?
    - what are the standard design considerations for defining planning filter?
    Please provide some info on this...
    any document on design consderations for planning object will be great.

  • Query Designer not working with Aggregation Levels on BW 7.30

    Hi,
    Every time I try to create a query on top of an Aggregation Level that I created with the new ABAP based RSPLAN transaction.
    If somebody can help me out I'd appreciate it.
    By the way, we don't have the Java stack, but we are currently using BO4's JVM as we're on ramp up.
    This is the error that I get when trying to create the query:

    Hi,
    it seems that you are already using the most recent query designer version. Is your SAPGUI also the most recent version? If yes, open a OSS ticket. If not reinstall the SAPGUI and the BEx tools. I am also working with this query desinger version and I don't have this kind of problem.

  • IP question: Aggregation Level picture icon color?

    We are pretty new on IP (Integrated Planning).  You know that the picture icon of Aggregation Level look like a two step stair.  When we check our BI 7.0 system, find for some aggregation levels, both the steps are white color, while for others, the top step is white color and the bottom step is blue color which looks like a small cube shape.  What are the difference?  The one with bottom step being the blue color means this aggregation level is activated and the one with both steps being white colors means they are inactivated?
    Another question, as what we know, in order to do planning, the Cube must be real-time cube other than standard InfoCube in the setting of the cube, right?  In our system, we find the aggregation is built on a Multi-Provider and underlying the Multi-Provider, there are about 6 cubes.  But when we check all the 6 cubes, find the settings for these cubes are all set to Standard InfoCube.  That means with the aggregation level built upon this multi-provider, users can't do any planning, right?
    We will give you reward points!

    Hi Kevin,
    You can build a simple aggregation Level on a real time cube.
    Aslo we can build AGgregation levels on Multi providers ( which must contain atleast one real time Cube) . These kind of aggregation levels are called as Complex Aggregation levels.
    Also regd the Aggregation level Colours , your understanding is right.

    Hope this clarifies.

  • IP - Aggregation Level not showing in Query Designer as infoprovider

    Hi guys
    I just started implementing Integragted Planning at a new client. I created an aggregation level to build my input ready query. However this aggregation level is not available as an inprovider in the Query Designer nor is it available under the infocube in RSA1 on which the aggregation has been defined.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your help.
    Ameya Kulkarni

    Hi Mayank
    Good point. But I could not see the aggregation level whatsoever in RSA1. The aggregation level is consistent and activated but does not show in the query designer.
    I was wondering if there is some configuration that I have to do to get the aggregation level available in the query desginer.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Question on aggregation level "%" (percent) in aggregate definition

    Hello,
    I would like to find out all the aggregates that have at least one navigation attribute of a specific characteristic (let's say 0CUSTOMER) in their definition. The idea behind that is to find out which aggregates are potentially affected in a change run by a master data change for the 0CUSTOMER characteristic.
    Well, I looked in table RSDDAGGRCOMP for entries that met the selection criteria {OBJVERS = 'A'; IOBJNM = '0CUSTOMER_*'}
    For all navigation attributes of 0CUSTOMER - except for those that can actually be seen in the aggregate definition screen (launched via "Maintain Aggregates") -  there are records that have as aggregation level (field AGGRST) '%'. What does this aggregation level mean and why is it in that table? That field description ("SAP-internal use only (technical:facts)") doesn't really bring me forward.
    An aggregate, that only contains '%' as aggregation level in RSDDAGGRCOMP for navigation attributes of char 0CUSTOMER is not affected by a change run regarding the master data change of 0CUSTOMER attributes, is that right?
    Thanks to any replies in advance.
    Regards,
    Philipp

  • MultiCube over IP Aggregation Level Question

    Hi, I have a MultiProvider over an IP Aggregation Level and a Real InfoCube.  This was all handed down to me from previous development.  The Aggregatation Level  has the same level of detail as the planning infocube it is based on.
    Is there any reason for the MultiProvider to be over the Aggregation Level instead of the actual planning infocube?
    I guess I'm reading that a multiprovider over an aggregation level is for planning only and not reporting?  If this is true then do I need a multicube for planning and a separate multicube for reporting using the actual planning infocube?
    Thanks for any clarity you can offer...

    Wouldn't this modeling work as well for planning?  I mean while they are planning values they might want to see actual values as well to help in decision making?
    Thanks!

  • Design question: Scheduling a Variable-timeslot Resource

    I originally posted this in general java programming, because this seemed like a more high-level design descussion. But now I see some class design questions. Please excuse me if this thread does not belong here (this is my first time using the forum, save answering a couple questions).
    Forum,
    I am having trouble determining a data structure and applicable algorithm (actually, even more general than the data structure -- the general design to use) for holding a modifiable (but more heavily read/queried than updated), variable-timeslot schedule for a given resource. Here's the situation:
    Let's, for explanation purposes, say we're scheduling a school. The school has many resources. A resource is anything that can be reserved for a given event: classroom, gym, basketball, teacher, janitor, etc.
    Ok, so maybe the school deal isn't the best example. Let's assume, for the sake of explanation, that classes can be any amount of time in length: 50 minutes, 127 minutes, 4 hours, 3 seconds, etc.
    Now, the school has a base operation schedule, e.g. they're open from 8am to 5pm MTWRF and 10am to 2pm on saturday and sunday. Events in the school can only occur during these times, obviously.
    Then, each resource has its own base operation schedule, e.g. the gym is open from noon to 5pm MTWRF and noon to 2pm on sat. and sun. The default base operation schedule for any resource is the school which "owns" the resource.
    But then there are exceptions to the base operation schedule. The school (and therefore all its resources) are closed on holidays. The gym is closed on the third friday of every month for maintenance, or something like that. There are also exceptions to the available schedule due to reservations. I've implemented reservations as exceptions with a different status code to simplify things a little bit: because the basic idea is that an exception is either an addition to or removal from the scheduleable times of that resource. Each exception (reservation, closed for maintenance, etc) can be an (effectively) unrestricted amount of time.
    Ok, enough set up. Somehow I need to be able to "flatten" all this information into a schedule that I can display to the user, query against, and update.
    The issue is complicated more by recurring events, but I think I have that handled already and can make a recurring event be transparent from the application point of view. I just need to figure out how to represent this.
    This is my current idea, and I don't like it at all:
    A TimeSlot object, holding a beginning date and ending date. A data structure that holds list of TimeSlot objects in order by date. I'd probably also hold an index of some sort that maps some constant span of time to a general area in the data structure where times around there can be found, so I avoid O(n) time searching for a given time to find whether or not it is open.
    I don't like this idea, because it requires me to call getBeginningDate() and getEndDate() for every single time slot I search.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    If I am correct, your requirement is to display a schedule, showing the occupancy of a resource (open/closed/used/free and other kind of information) on a time line.
    I do not say that your design is incorrect. What I state below is strictly my views and should be treated that way.
    I would not go by time-slot, instead, I would go by resource, for instance the gym, the class rooms (identified accordingly), the swimming pool etc. are all resources. Therefore (for the requirements you have specified), I would create a class, lets say "Resource" to represent all the resources. I would recommend two attributes at this stage ("name" & "identifier").
    The primary attribute of interest in this case would be a date (starting at 00:00hrs and ending at 24:00hrs.), a span of 24hrs broken to the smallest unit of a minute (seconds really are not very practical here).
    I would next encapsulate the availability factor, which represents the concept of availability in a class, for instance "AvailabilityStatus". The recommended attributes would be "date" and "status".
    You have mentioned different status, for instance, available, booked, closed, under-maintainance etc. Each of these is a category. Let us say, numbered from 0 to n (where n<128).
    The "date" attribute could be a java.util.Date object, representing a date. The "status", is byte array of 1440 elements (one element for each minute of the day). Each element of the byte array is populated by the number designation of the status (i.e, 0,1,2...n etc.), where the numbers represent the status of the minute.
    The "Resource" class would carry an attribute of "resourceStatus", an ordered vector of "ResourceStatus" objects.
    The object (all the objects) could be populated manually at any time, or the entire process could be automated (that is a separate area).
    The problem of representation is over. You could add any number of resources as well as any number of status categories.
    This is a simple solution, I do not address the issues of querying this information and rendering the actual schedule, which I believe is straight forward enough.
    It is recognized that there are scope for optimizations/design rationalization here, however, this is a simple and effective enough solution.
    regards

  • Problems creating aggregation levels over a Multiprovider

    Hi experts,
    When I create a aggregation level over a multiprovider the system returns an error " Infoprovider XX cannot be used for definition". I have read other threads with the same question and its solutions. I have checked my system and all is correct. The multiprovider has linked five infoproviders, one as real time.
    Any Idea?
    Please, it is very urgent to solve this.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi Mayank and Ravi,
    I have checked the identification of chars and kf. The realtime cube has five chars and a kf. All of them are assigned with all cubes witch are linked with the multiprovider.
    I have tried by removing the realtime cube and the system shows the same error message. I have also tried by reactivating the cubes and multicube.
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

  • Aggregation level on single level basis or multiprovider

    Hello,
    we use IP 7.0 and have a planning cube for CO-PA data, as well as a multiprovider combining the actual cube and the planning cube for COPA data. We need to implement a planning tool in which planning simple planning functions are needed on the single basis (copy, revaluation, multiply,manual planning ...) as well as on the multi-provider (top-down with reference data).
    -> on which level(s) should we define the aggregation level? Do we need to define it on the multiprovider (in order to do the top-down) or can we split it up (single level and multi-provider) and define a workbook with a manual planning function on the single level AND including the top-down based on the multiprovider?
    thanks
    Dries

    I agree with Gregor,
    I think it is more logical to configure your Aggregation Level on top of your Multi-Provider, especially since you already have a need to view ref data from Actuals to perform calculations on your Planned.  You can always restrict your 'simple' functions to the appropriate InfoProvider.
    As for the FOx question, you can always restrict to each InfoProvider when writing your FOx (either inside the FOx code or using the FOx conditions).

    Zane

  • Aggregation Level issues

    Dear Experts,
    I have 2 questions about aggregation level now.
    1) I have deleted an Aggregation Level in Planning Modeler But it's not being deleted from the InfoArea of
        BI Modeling section. How do I delete it from InfoArea ?
    2) Currently that Aggregation Level is based on 1 InfoProvider.
        How do I add another InfoProvider under that ?
        Or how do I delete the existing one and replace it with a new one ?
    Thanks,
    Akash

    Thanks for your help...
    Actually I had this aggregation level used in a query and also I did create Filter, Planning Functions and Planning Sequences on it.
    So I had to delete the Query first, then Planning Sequences, then Planning Functions and then Filter and finally the Aggragation Level.
    And then when I refresh the InfoArea it was still there until I signed out and logged in back to Admin Workbench.
    Hope these help for other people out there.
    Thanks all.

  • Aggregation level  is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer

    Dear All,
                   I have created aggregation level in the planning cube and transported to Production from dev, Once i transported to production i am not able to change the aggregation level in Dev, and also aggregation level is Inactive.  Aggregation level YPNC2 is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer. Please suggest how to activate the aggregation level in Dev.
    Thanks
    Christopher

    Hi,
      Kindly check the following,
    1. Is your aggregation level transported properly to the production system ?
    2. Was your aggregation level active while you were including it in the transport request ?
    3. Did you properly include the aggregation level in the request?
    If you find that the answers of all the above questions is "YES", then there should not be any problem in your aggregation level.
    Hope this solves your issue, if not kindly get back to me.

  • Aggregation level query "value help" = Only Values in InfoProv doesn't work

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Selection Variable for a BEx Query :
    - I'm working with SAP BI 7.0 support package 15
    - My query is an input ready query built for an "aggregation level" based on "real time infocube" (Planning);
    - Characteristic, I want to filter with variable, has query property Advanced->Query Execution for Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProvider
    - Characteristic (info-object) has set the property: Business Explorer tab--> Query Def. Filter Value Selection as Only Values in the info-provider...
    My problem is:
    when I execute a query,
    the Select Values for Variables screen appears
    I push on the Select from List button
    and Select Values For MyCharacteristic appears...
    but it shows me all values in master data table of my characteristic instead of only values in the infoprovider!!!
    If I build a query for the Real Time Cube it works correctly, but if the query is built for the aggregation level it doesn't work!
    Could someone explain me why it doesn't work correctly?
    Thanks in advanced
    Fede

    Thanks to  Mariana Lazar
    30.03.2009 - 12:30:36 CET - Risposta by SAP     
    Dear Fede,
    Regarding the query built on aggregation level please note the following
    the aggregation level is always a Virtual Provider built other
    InfoProvider and hence it does not have the dimension table and hence
    the F4 mode D is not supported.
    Therefore when aggregation level is used in a query, F4 does not supportD-mode: 'Only Values in InfoProvider' and all master data values are

    displays only posted values if you select "Only Posted Values for

  • Aggregation Level & Selection ID in Demand Planing Background job

    Folks
    Whle creating a Demand Planning job in the background, we need to make few selection such as
                1. Choosing a Selection ID(One, Several & Select All) and
                2. Choosing an Aggregation level.
    My question is : Doesn't the selection ID already have the aggregation level defined with in as selection ID is basically something defined or shown as Product by Location and then by Sales Org etc. Isn't this the same as the aggregation level ???
    Why do we need to have Selection Id as well as Aggregation level in Background job ?
    In the interactive planning do we need the aggregation Level ? If so where do we specify the same ?
    TIA

    The aggregation level can make a big difference to the forecast results. If you run the forecast on a high level (for example, at division level), the system aggregates the historical data (for example, the historical data of all products in a division) before it carries out the forecast. However, if you run the forecast on a low level (for example, for just one product), the system creates the forecast based on the historical data at this level, and then aggregates the forecast results in the planning screen at runtime.
    The default level is the most detailed level.Here values will be disaggregated to the lowest detailed level and forecast will be executed in that level for each CVC.
    say
    PRD  LOC     PRD_GRP
    A       A1           PG1
    B       A1           PG1
    C       A1           PG1
    A       B1           PG1
    B       B1           PG1
    C       B1           PG1
    here forecast wil be carried out for 6 CVCs
    However, in real time, as you have many CVCs, we dont follow this.
    Say we specify the aggregation level as PRD_GRP and LOC.. Then system aggregates values at product group and location level..executes forecast and then disaggregates.
    in this case forecst will be carried out for
    PRD  LOC     PRD_GRP
          A1           PG1
          B1           PG1.
    Selection ID on the other hand will be used for specific selections.
    Suppose if u want to execute one profile  for PRDGRP PG1 at LOC A1 , you create a selection ID with this selection like in interactive planning..
    How ever, if your selection is
    PRD         *
    PRDGRP  *
    LOC          *,
    then , here ur aggregation level helps how to disaggregate values before running the forecast
