ODBC Issues with SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 - Automated Analysis

Dear all,
maybe this adds only an aspect to the Infinite Insight OCBC Connection difficulties discussed in
http://scn.sap.com/message/15766247#15766247
but after trying and searching the web for more than a day any help would be appreciated.
This is the situation:
I'm using SAP PA 2.0 Desktop version and would like to upload a flatfile (*csv) to the Data Manager of Automated Analysis. Unfortunately, none of the solutions found by now worked.
It is a SAP PA 2.0 64bit version installed on a Windows 7.0 64 bit P. The installed MS Office version is 32bit as all available drivers. Deinstalling MS Office and reinstalling a 64bit version is not an option. It is not possible to install SAP PA 2.0 32bit version either - the Installation process stops due to the wrong operations system.
The DSN configuration suggested in the SCN discussion mentioned above didn't work, although displayed as data source in the Data Manager data base/file selection Screen. The error message returned is a Microsoft ODBC error [IM014] indicating that for the DSN used, there is an architecture mismatch between driver and application,
The attachments shows screenshots of the error message and the situation in the ODBC adminitrator consoles both for 32bit and for 64bit (in system32 and SysWOW64 shares).
Is there a solution to this problem?
Kind regards
Elisabeth

Hi Elisabeth,
If I understand correcty, you would like to upload your csv file to a database.
What kind of database is it ?
The Automated part of Predictive Analytics supports the following databases:
SAP HANA
Sybase IQ
Oracle
Hive
Teradata
Microsoft SQL Server
MySQL 5
Netezza
IBM DB2
PostgreSQL
Vertica
Greenplum
Your screensot shows ODBC connections to Excel and Text files. It is is not real databases, it cannot execute SQL code.
For more information on configuring a database connection on your machine, you can refer to this document : https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100001708812015E/pa20_conndb_win_conf_en.pdf
Note that you need a database driver installed on your machine and access to a database (either installed on your machine or on a remote server).
In general, all documentation related to PA2.0 can be found here : SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 – SAP Help Portal Page.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Armelle

Error Activating SAP Predictive Analytics Desktop Trial for AWS

Hi:
Anyone had come across this issue while activation SAP Predictive Analytics Desktop Trail for AWS?. I selected US east as my region for my AWS account. Subnets show up on the CAL side as well on the account setting. Have tried terminating and recreation many times.
checked the user access and it is correct as per the documentation.
Would appreciate and input/guidance in resolving this issue.
Thanks
Bala

Thanks Stanimir:
I signed up for the developer support package for AWS for this and got it resolved yesterday. the problem was one of the routes in the route table did not have a Internet Gateway entry missing. so the return traffic could not find the way back to the internet. Root cause is as you stated it may be due to an unexpected error during VPC creation.
Thanks for responding to my query..
Cheers
Bala

Predictive Analytics installation prerequisite

Hi all,
so I'm trying to install Predictive Analytics 2.0 on my laptop Helix but the system keeps saying the following error:
"This product cannot be installed on the same machine as SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 All incompatible products must be uninstalled prior to installing this new product."
I've already uninstalled the previous version of PA 2.0 and Lumira, and even uninstalled InfintieInsight just to make sure and rebooted the laptop, but I keep getting the same message. I didn't have this problem with another laptop of mine. Does anyone have got the same problem before?
Please fill me in with your insights. Thank you in advance!

Hi,
No, you can’t directly access the PAL from PA or HANA Studio in the HANA DB Edition for BW due to licensing restrictions. You need the HANA EE edition to use PAL from PA.
Thanks,
Vishwa

What are the size limitations in Predictive Analytics - regression charts

I'm trying to display the trend chart for an Exponenential Regression Prediction and I got the following error. The Regression itself runs OK and provides a summary, but I can't display the data on a chart.
There's only 1 other related posting- Error PAS10066 and it doesn't provide much more info than is in the error itself.
Does anyone have extra info on what the size of the limitation is? Is it something that can be overcome with extra RAM etc?
I'm using the desktop version of PA 1.19, and I'm on a 64 bit installation of Windows 7 with 8GB of RAM, processing a csv file with 1.1 million rows.
I've used some filters in the Prediuct workflow to cut down on the amount of data being processed, and I got past the PAS10066 error and am now getting a max call stack size error - can't find anything related on SCN for this one.
Many Thanks
Astrid

Hi Astrid,
Thanks for reaching out.It could be a out of memory issue.
If you increase the memory that SAP Predictive Analysis is allowed to consume.
Go to the location where SAP Predictive Analysis was installed. In my case it is:
C:\Program Files\SAP Predictive Analysis\Desktop
Here you find a file "SAPPredictiveAnalysis.ini" - open this in Notepad and change the
"-Xmx" parameter to approximately half of our PC/laptops memory.
For instance in your case you could try with: -Xmx4096m
I have outlined this is a few more steps here:

Hope it works for you.

Nothing displays on Predictive part in SAP Predictive Analysis

Hi,
Earlier, I created a predictive analysis using R-K Means algorithm, and the result was displayed a week ago and saved it. I opened it several times, trying to beautify the same. But today when I opened it, nothing is seen and also I am unable to add analysis as well. I am using SAP Predictive Analysis version 1.16.0.
Please help me how to resolve the issue.

Hi Anita, in case this has not be resolved, i just had this issue this morning.
I was unable to add or see any Analysis in Predict Tab.
It seems that if you supress your preference settings
(in C:\Users\yourName\.sapvi\predictive_preferences)
including links to all of your documents, and "repairing" Predictive Analysis by Re-installing it, it works again .
It also seem, after reimporting the original issue document, it is blasted, so you'll have to redo it from scratch.
Hope it will work for you, notice me if it does !

Predictive Analytics for Equipment Maintenance?

Could an equipment failure or parts shortage be predicted based on an analysis of work orders, parts and equipment usage? Predictive Analytics uses several techniques from data mining and statistics to process data in order to predict future trends and behavior patterns. A key characteristic of the analysis is to provide insight into equipment failure and parts usage that may not be readily apparent through simple reporting. Predictive analytics is an option of Oracle's Relational Database (9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, and 11.1). If you have been using Oracle eAM for over one year and would like to participate in a proof of concept (working closely with the Product Strategy team) to determine the potential benefits of predictive analytics please contact me. You can explore data mining and predictive analytics at www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html.

Hi,
We are in our 2nd year of eAM Implementation and I'm very keen to explore the full functionality of this module.
Yes, I would like to participate in a proof of concept (working closely with the Product Strategy team) to determine the potential benefits of predictive analytics Please initiate contact.

Using Multiple Linear Regression from SAP Predictive Analysis within S&OP

How could I go about using a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis, say a multiple linear regression model, as a stored procedure in HANA from within S&OP?

Hi Kevin,
You cannot use a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis in S&OP. S&OP uses the same PAL libraries from HANA for Statistical Forecasting. We enable a few statistical forecasting methods from PAL like exponential smoothing from S&OP.

Please Provide a Key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit

please provide a needed a key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit to be used in University Lab computers.

Hi Ye,
I am afraid but the only way today is to delete your document without PA / Lumira.
By default, local files are stored at :
User/Documents/SAP Lumira Documents
In this folder you'll see the list of all the documents you have created with SAP Lumira or SAP PA.
Delete the document that you don't want anymore and (re)start SAP PA.
The delete functionnality from the desktop tool is an idea accepted by the Labs (Delete Files in Lumira Desktop : View Idea), but not implemented yet.
Hope it helps,
Edouard

How to create SAP Business Analytics Prof. User in BO XI?

Hi experts,
we've some users of type "SAP Business Analytics Prof. User" in our contract with SAP. How to create this kind of users in CMC? I've created them in our ERP-System, but is there a way to attach them to BO user administration?
Thanks and best regards,
Max

Hi Max,
In terms of users in XI3.1 you have 2 options:
1. You can manually create Enterprise Users in the Users and Groups area of the CMC.
or;
2. You can import the BW users in from your SAP system, done via the Authentication - SAP area of the CMC
I'm assuming the SAP Business Analytics Prof users mentioned in your contract are simply users who are licensed to use the SAP Business Analytics product. If so when your uses are in the XI3.1 system, you can simply add them to a SAP Business Analytics group and give them access to the application. If user access to SAP Business Analytics exceeds the licence count then subsequent logons to SAP Business Analytics will be denied.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
If not please clarify further.
Kind regards,
John

Thanks

Hi Niyati,
SYSTEM user has not given you rights to create repository so you are facing this issue, Ask appropriate rights from your SYSTEM user.
He can either execute below statement
GRANT REPO.EDIT_IMPORTED_OBJECTS ON "'afl.falcon'" TO lui;
or
he can go to Security-> Users under Package Privilege add Root package then on right side he can assign the roles.
**** Also Add Repository_Rest procedure under Object Privilege tab
Regi id by default included in latest versions of HANA Studio. No need to map it manually

Can i use SAP Predictive Analysis for this scenario?

Hi guys. I'm new in this subject so I'm a little bit confused about in which cases SAP Predictive Analysis is helpful?
Could it be helpful for this case? I have prices of rice for differente years, from 2007 to 2013. Can SAP Predictive Analysis help me forecast what will be the price of rice for 2014, 2015 and so on?
Which algorithm should I use? Does it come integrated in the tool or is it an add-on?
I´ll appreciate it very much if you could send me the right steps to achieve this.

Hi Erika,
SAP PA has only Triple exponential smoothing algorithm; In most cases, single exponential smoothing would not make any sense [this is available through HANA PAL or R integration with SAP PA];
If you have R integration you should see something like this
In Single exp smoothing only alpha is used;
in double exp smoothing alpha and gamma is used; and all three in gamma.
Why these alpha, beta and gamma... has a big derivation to understand; [let me know if you need any document, I have compiled as on some reference]
What values alpha, beta and Gama should hold in Triple ... or what is the right value, .... actually there are no right value and wrong value for them.
... as for the steps to go in SAP PA, refer below:
Please let me know if you need any assistance ...
