Are there any guidelines on how to customize R/3 reports into BW

Hi Everyone,
I have quite a number of R/3 reports that is required to be converted into a BW report but I do not know what I am supposed to do.
Are there any guidelines on how to determine if a R/3 report should be created in BW? If it should be done in BW, how do I consider if it should be reported of a cube or an ODS?
I have been doing development for ard 3years and this is the first time I have to analyze and come up with a functional/design specs. Need help.
If there is any documents on the guidelines, please send it to [email protected]
Thanks.
Regards,
Shunhui.

Hi Shunhui
TABS -> here Venkat was refering to SAP education courses on BW on extraction,reporting etc.
I am not aware if there are any guidelines given by SAP.
I will try to help you build the approrach for this:-
1. You should collect functional specification of R/3 report. This will include the functionality of that report, logic & calculations involved, usage of report output by end users etc.
2. Collect technical specification- In this you create excel sheet with all fields in R/3 report with relevant details such as formulas used, calculations involved etc.
3.Map these technical specs with BW business content. Try to see if you can get Business content datasource which will be a fit for majority of your R/3 report fields.
4.Carry out gap analysis and end of this excerise determine how you are going to fill this gap - whether buy using Zinfoobject,routines,datasource enhancements etc.
5.Classify the reports as Aggregate or transactional level. If it is transactional level then you need to make use of ODS.This will determine your data model in BW.
6.Based on 5 steps mentioned above,create a design document with dataflow & data model details.
7. Get a Sign off on functional,technical specs & design document with proposed dataflow from users and implement it.
For templates of functional & technical specs , you can refer to blueprint section of Accelerated SAP.
Hope this helps
Regards
Pradip

  • Are there any problems using the Ipad while is is plugged into the wall and charging?

    Are there any contraindications using the Ipad while it is plugged into the wall and charging???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • What are the possible causes of following errors in MAX? Are there any references on how to use MAX?

    Hi, it's me again.
    I've checked the encoder response in MAX (-ve ccw, +ve cw) and it seems fine. But when the motor moves MAX will generate a following error message. Is my encoder causing the problem or have I made a mistake in the settings? I've checked the connections to the encoder and they are all correctly wired.Could there be other causes of following errors?
    The motor does stop earlier when I reduced the following error value, so I'm assuming that the motor stops only when it has reached the set number of following errors and NOT because the motor has reached the target position. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It may be that the 7344 is missing encoder values, or that the motor isn't tuned correctly. The first thing I'd like for you to check is that the Encoder Counts per Revolution input to the Axis Settings menu in MAX is set correctly (I believe it defaults to 2000 counts). To check this, you can rotate the motor by hand one revolution to see how many counts have accumulated. Most encoders are either 2000 counts per rev or 4000 counts per rev.
    Once you have that confirmed, autotune the motors and make sure the values for Kp, Kd, and Ki are resonable. (Kd is often around 10x Kp) Once these are set, start your motors moving slowly and observe the following error. This can be seen under the Advanced tab of the 1D Interactive menu. If it is slowly incrementing, t
    hen your're missing counts. If it is negative, then the encoder phases may be backward. If there is no following error, or the count stays constant, then try increasing the speed. It could just be that your encoder sends pulses too fast for the 7344 to read.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Are there any Language Translators Libraries with Java API

    I have a single xml document that contains all the text displayed in my application. I now want to translate the text into other languages and I thought I could do it my using the SAX to parse the individual elements, translate the text and then write out the resulting file. Are there any open source/java libraries that can translate text into other languages.
    For now I am just interested in the most popular European languages, French,Spanish,German and Italian

    I hear what you are saying, but if it could just make start that would be great. I have a program that I have been very careful to ensure all text is localized but I dont have the time/expertise to translate it myself or the funds to get it done professionally. I also have my help manual in docbook xml format so would like to translate that as well.
    I thought AltaVistas BabelFish might have a Java API but have been unable to find one.
    Also even if the translation was to be done by humans it is very difficult for a translater to edit the file in xml format,so I think I still need a process to extract the text from the file, allow it to be translated, and then read it back in.

    Thanks,

    Depends wher you obtained the iPhone from and it's original supplier
    If the iPhone is an authorised unlock ( approved by the carrier) or was
    purchased from Apple as an unlocked iPhone  updating the iOS
    will have no effect on the iPhone and it's lock status
    HOWEVER if the software has been tampered with to remove the lock,
    updating the iOs will lock the iPhone back to the original carrier who holds the lock
    To find out the status of your iPhone  you could call Apple support
    and they may tell you if the iPhone is locked or not and if it is which carrier

  • HT4061 I am unable to load Adobe Flash player on my Apple Ipad are there any clues out there how to by pass this,I can not get certain programs without it ,so I am returning my IPAD,any other programs I can load to get my programs

    I am unable to load Adobe Flash player on my Apple Ipad are there any clues out there how to by pass this,I can not get certain programs without it ,so I am returning my IPAD,any other programs I can load to get my programs

    Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
    First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
    Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
    If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
    The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

    How to track my iPhone 5 ... I lost it in Singapore n my data roaming is off...are there  any chances to find it ..

    It can't be tracked unless it has a data connection to the internet, either via cellular data or wifi.  Unless you set up iCloud, enabled Find My iPhone in settings, and the phone is turned on and (in your case) connected to wifi, you won't be able to track it.

    trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
    The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:
