  • Trial unavailable, but it's not June 1st yet!

    I've just tried getting a trial of Dreamweaver in the UK, to
    find that I cannot now download until July 1st, which will too late
    for my purposes.
    I appreciate there is a software glitch which means I cannot
    get a 30-day trial until July 1st, but this applies to trial
    software installed from June 1st onwards. It isn't June 1st yet. In
    the UK we've still got several hours to go and the US is only just
    waking up to May 31st.
    Too late to ring the helpdesk, so any ideas or help?
    Thanx

    Well they probably did it on Friday because June 1st is a
    Sunday and I believe Adobe's staff works Mon-Fri.
    If you are trying to showcase the software to your company
    for purchase and need something for a presentation, the CS4 trial
    will work for 2 days. This is a beta trial, but minus the interface
    and a few added features it is basically the same program.
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/dreamweavercs4/
    To run the trial with an expiration of 30 days after the
    release of CS4 you will need to enter a valid DW or CS3 Suite key
    but it will run for 2 days without asking that.

  • Adobe CS6 Will Be Discontinued On June 1st

    Hello Everyone.
    I got this e-mail from adobe that the Creative Cloud CS6 will be Discontinued on June 1st.
    So If I am a Creative CC user and I still have the Encore CS6 Installed In my computer, what Is going to Happen.  
    Is Encore Is still Usable ?
    In that e-mail there was a option to buy a single copy       
    I don't have the CS6 CD, I had It Installed from the CS6 Family.
    Thanks

    All that is being discontinued is certain licensing of CS6. Adobe will continue to sell download versions. And you can continue to use through your CC subscription.
    See this thread:

  • Will Photoshop CS6 ESD stop functioning on june 1st?

    I didn't find this information in the FAQ so I've decided to post it.
    I purchased an upgrade from CS4 (boxed copy) to CS6 (ESD) last year via the electronic software download.  I've now received an email from Adobe saying licensing for CS6 will no longer be sold.  Ok, they will not be sold, but does that affect my purchased download of CS6?

    No. It's a perpetual license and is unaffected by future sales of CS6.
    Individual CS6 sales continue... halt is only for CLP & TLP (Volume Licensing)

  • HI I am attending an interview in tcs in sap abap plz send me interivew que

    Hi I am attending tcs interivew this week plz send me interivew questions wht they ask ,,,my id is [email protected] ,,,, than k u,,,

    Hi,,
    Please find a few collection of my interview ques..
    Mark if useful..
    1. How data is stored in cluster table?
    Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
    2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
    SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
    3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
    In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
    4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
    5. How do you get output from IDOC?
    Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
    6. When top of the page event is triggered?
    After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
    7. Can we create field without data element and how?
    In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
    8. How do we debug sapscript?
    Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.                              
    9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.                              
    TCode AL21.                              
    10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.                              
    Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.                              
    Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.                              
    1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'                              
    Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.                              
    In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.                              
    2. When to use logical database?                              
    Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:                              
    less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.                              
    Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.                              
    3. What is the use of 'table index'?
    Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
    4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
    Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
    If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
    Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
    5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
    Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
    6. What are table buffers?
    Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
    directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
    Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

    13.What are the standard IDOC's used???
    14.What do you mean by table control???Where will we use this???
    15.What are field symbols??Where will we use these symbols???
    Deepti
    1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
    2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
    Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
    8. to release an object - use se10/se9
    9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
    12. Delivery - invoice.
    15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
    Kishore
    1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
    2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
    3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
    4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
    methods for enhancement.
    14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
    is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
    15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
    the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
    Venu Rapolu     
    1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI     
    2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate     
    values., and append will simply adds the record     
    3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :     
    The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;     
    The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system     
    6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,     
    Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.     
    7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.     
    8. Ans: se09 or se10     
    13. Ans: MATMAS     
    CREMAS     
    DEBMAS     
    GLMAST etc...     
    14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens     
    15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
    Satish D
    1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
    2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
    append will append record at the end of table
    3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
    transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
    4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
    5. go to system then status
    6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
    inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
    7. no we have to configur that
    8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
    and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
    9. inquiry
    quotation
    sales order                    
    shipping                    
    delivery                    
    invoice                    
    return goods                    
    12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared                    
    13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc                    
    Deepti                    
    I am enclosing some of answers which I know.                    
    1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.                    
    2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields                    
    matches to your selection criteria.                    
    3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.                    
    4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.                    
    5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.               
    6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.               
    10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).               
    14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.               
    15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.               
    Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:               
    Questions which I have faced in an interview:               
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?               
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?               
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?               
    4) How did you test the developed objects?               
    5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?               
    6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?               
    Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record               
    7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?               
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
    13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    15) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    17) What is pf-status?
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    Go thru these answers:          
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?          
    It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.          
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done          
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?          
    4) How did you test the developed objects?          
    I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing          
    - Negative testing          
    - Positive testing          
    In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.          
    In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.          
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
    Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
    - Message type
    - Message id
    - Message Number
    - Variable1
    - Variable2
    - Variable3
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
    Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
    Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
    13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    14) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
    Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
    Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
    17) What is pf-status?
    Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?                    
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?                    
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004                    
    SAP ABAP interview questions                    
    Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:                    
    1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.                    
    2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.                    
    3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.                    
    4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.                    
    5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.                    
    6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.                    
    7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.                    
    8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into "sessions".                    
    9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.                    
    10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.                    
    11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.                    
    12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
    13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
    14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
    15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
    17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
    18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
    19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
    21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
    22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
    23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I've never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

  • Pre-Ordered my S4 will it be here on the 1st of June?

    Like the title says I pre-ordered my s4 pretty pumped about it and wondering if it'll be here on June 1st or will it be later.

    PHEW You scared me for a moment there JRH4054 LOL. I almost thought I couldnt buy any screen protectors at all for my S4.  I just pulled up my Droid Razr (1st line) Ice Cream Sandwich Manual for the phone I've had 2 yrs and had always used Screen protectors and heres what I found:
    Note:
    Your touchscreen might stay dark if the sensor just above it is covered. Don't use covers or screen protectors (even clear ones) that cover this sensor
    and well thankfully I  havent had any issues

  • RAC interview qstns

    Recently attended RAC interview, few qstns are here..
    1.what happens if Oracle Cluster Filessystem crashes?
    2.after adding a node in Ebusiness suite, what steps to be taken to get that new node registered.
    3.what is the main diff between RAC -RAC and RAC to NonRAC (I mean which clone step makes this difference)?
    4.How DDL changes takes place in RAC (assume you have 6 node and at what stage ddl change will get registered)
    Edited by: user11971355 on Apr 28, 2010 2:06 PM

    Not really sensible questions. Take the 1st one - "+what happens if Oracle Cluster Filessystem crashes?+"
    Nothing.. unless one is unlucky/silly enough to still use ocfs as shared storage - and not ASM. If ocfs is used as shared cluster mount for sharing external data (e.g CSV) files, then worse is that UTL_FILE will fail or an external table will fail.
    Also, why would ocfs fail? IMO it is far more important to understand the components on which ocfs relies - and how these impact ocfs. Especially as these underlying components can also impact Grid/CRS and RAC too.

  • Webdynpro interview questions and answers

    hi friends
    i need webdynpro interview questions and answers
    urgently
    thanks

    Hi Ramachandran,
       There is a seperate book in sap Press for interview question but will cost a lot and i dont think it is easily available in India.
    But then, if you are aware of Webdynpro for Java, you dont have to worry a lot. Since Webdynpro is a new technology, People who really want to recruit people will stick to basic questions.
    I can give some examples below
    1. What is adaptive RFC and How to Use it
    2. What are the table variants and how to use each of them
    3. Can ask about tree and trees in table.
    4. What is singleton and supply function
    5. Some basic Portal Admin Question.
    6. basic customization question using HTMLB
    7. What is the diff between Adaptive rfc and adaptive web servie and who to use both.
    8. Diff between drop down by key and drop down by index.
    9. diff between Link by action and link by url and other Basic UI questions.
    10. Might ask about merge functionality of NWDI if used.
    11. Might ask about dynamic Ui and Context Generation
    12. and So on.
    I have attended Few interviews and know many of those questions. I cannot put every thing here.
    But Dont worry. If the interview is for Selecing people and not to show ego of how good the person who is interviewing is , will ask basic to understnd how good the candidate is in understanding basics as rest all have the document in SDN.
    Hope it helps.

  • Interview question at progress soft

    Hi,
    Please don't think this question as school home work.I had attended an interview at progress soft.This question I couldn't understand so help me.
    Sports Associations
    The Sports Associations (SA) wants to choose 2 teams of 4 people each
    to send to games. There are 13 people who want to be members of
    the teams. The SA tries grouping them in various ways to see which
    athletes perform well together. Each grouping gets one test run on the
    test track and their time is recorded. Your task is to help the SA
    choose two disjoint teams of 4 such that the sum of their practice times
    is minimal.
    Input
    There will be several input instances. The first line of each instance
    gives the total number of practice runs. This will be followed by n lines.
    Each of those lines will contain 5 numbers: p1 p2 p3 p4 t
    t is the time taken (in milliseconds) by the team consisting of p1, p2, p3 and p4.
    The time taken will not be more than 2 minutes.
    The end of the input will be indicated by a line with n=0.
    Output
    Output the best total time for the two teams that you choose.
    If it is impossible to choose two disjoint teams from the test runs given, output -1.
    Sample Input
    6
    1 2 3 4 30000
    10 11 12 13 15000
    5 6 7 8 37800
    1 5 10 12 20000
    5 6 9 11 43000
    1 9 12 13 11000
    3
    1 4 7 9 10000
    3 5 7 11 17890
    6 7 12 13 20000
    0
    Sample Output
    45000
    -1
    They need only the output for the given input
    Thanks

    They want the fastest two groupings with no person in common. For example, the two fastest grouping are:
    1 9 12 13 11000
    1 4 7 9 10000
    This is not acceptable though because they both have person 1.

  • Pls answer this interview question?

    Hi,
    i have attended the interview over the past few months ago so that they are asked
    like
    question 1)
    a table has 1million rows because that will take more time to retrieve user says to improve the performance of that table .... in which way you would handle in PLSQL programming or concept anyway..
    Pls revert back to me if you know anything about..............

    Bluntly put. I will tell that user that he/she has no concept about performance or tables and instead of telling me how to do my job ("make that table faster!"), to explain his/her business requirement in order for me to build a technical solution that satisfies that requirement.
    Of course, I will do that more diplomatically in an interview.
    I can guess what the interviewers were after - they were probing PL/SQL expertise ito making PL/SQL code faster. E.g. using bulk processing to reduce context switching, or (my favourite) to reduce PL/SQL and increase SQL.
    But they are missing the fact that
    a) the size of the table does not determine performance
    b) the amount of I/O does
    The amount of I/O is directly relates to:
    i) the structure of the table
    ii) the amount of data requested in the SQL selection and projection
    But no user gets away with telling me to "improve performance of a table". I do not take such input kindly. I do not tell a user or manager how they must perform their duties. I expect the same courtesy from them. Tell me the problem and I will do my best to create an optimal technical solution for it. But an and end-user, don't be so arrogant to tell me what technical solution to implement.

  • Change the default year Begining from 'January" to "June"

    Hi all,
    One of our requirements is:
    The Financial year starts from June 1st and ends in May.
    So If the user selects 02-Jun-2010, Week_of_Year Function should show him as
    *'1'*
    Can you please tell me where these default values for Year are stored?
    Can they be changed as per the requirement like this?
    Thanks,
    Suma

    We have a period dates table which has the date as the primary key ( 01/03/2010 ), then various other columns representing other aspects of that date, for example:
    01 - Day of month
    03 & MARCH - Actual Month Number & Name
    2010 - Actual Year
    Q1 - Actual Quarter
    2009 - Fiscal year
    10 - Fiscal period
    Q4 - Fiscal Quarter
    Day of week number
    You could also include things like :
    Week Number
    Julian day of the year
    To allow you to sort/sequence the data June to May if you ordered by fiscal year & fiscal day of year.

  • Interview help

    Hello Everybody ,
       iam having interview for bi/bw support consultant and interview specs consists of data management techniques,improving and maintaining sap bi monitoring capabilities.solutions to support issues and understanding of BCC SAP solution and how its bw/bi configuration support the business.knowledge of wad.please send me the expected questions and answers though iam searching sdn using specs.
    Regards
    Priya

    Hi priya
    Here are some Q&A.
    Normally the production support activities include
    Scheduling
    R/3 Job Monitoring
    B/W Job Monitoring
    Taking corrective action for failed data loads.
    Working on some tickets with small changes in reports or in AWB objects.
    The activities in a typical Production Support would be as follows:
    1. Data Loading - could be using process chains or manual loads.
    2. Resolving urgent user issues - helpline activities
    3. Modifying BW reports as per the need of the user.
    4. Creating aggregates in Prod system
    5. Regression testing when version/patch upgrade is done.
    6. Creating adhoc hierarchies.
    we can perform the daily activities in Production
    1. Monitoring Data load failures thru RSMO
    2. Monitoring Process Chains Daily/weekly/monthly
    3. Perform Change run Hierarchy
    4. Check Aggr's Rollup
    To add to the above
    1)check data targets are ready for reporting,
    2) No failed or cancelled jobs in sm37 monitors and Bw Monitor.
    3) All requests are loaded for day, monthly and yearly also.
    4) Also to note down time taken for loading of critical info cubes which are used for reporting.
    5) Is there any break in any schedules from your process chains.
    As the frequent failures and errors , there is no fixed reason for the load to be fail , if you want it for the interview perspective I would answer it in this way.
    a) Loads can be failed due to the invalid characters
    b) Can be because of the deadlock in the system
    c) Can be because of previous load failure , if the load is dependant on other loads
    d) Can be because of erroneous records
    e) Can be because of RFC connections
    These are some of the reasons for the load failures.
    Why there is frequent load failures during extractions? and how to analyse them?
    If these failures are related to Data, there might be data inconsistency in source system. Though we are handling properly in transfer rules. We can monitor these issues in T-code -> RSMO and PSA (failed records) and update.
    If we are talking about whole extraction process, there might be issues of work process scheduling and IDoc transfer to target system from source system. These issues can be re-initiated by canceling that specific data load and ( usually by changing Request color from Yellow - > Red in RSMO). and restart the extraction.
    What is the daily task we do in production support.How many times we will extract the data at what times.
    It depends... Data load timings are in the range of 30 mins to 8 hrs. This time is depends in number of records and kind of transfer rules you have provided. If transfer rules have some kind of round about transfer rules and updates rules has calculations for customized key figures... long times are expected..
    Usually You need to work on RSMO and see what records are failing.. and update from PSA.
    What are some of the frequent failures and errors?
    As the frequent failures and errors , there is no fixed reason for the load to be fail , if you want it for the interview perspective I would answer it in this way.
    a) Loads can be failed due to the invalid characters
    b) Can be because of the deadlock in the system
    c) Can be because of previous load failure , if the load is dependant on other loads
    d) Can be because of erroneous records
    e) Can be because of RFC connections
    These are some of the reasons for the load failures.
    for Rfc connections:
    We use SM59 for creating RFC destinations
    Some questions
    1)     RFC connection lost.
    A) We can check out in the SM59 t-code
    RFC Des
    + R/3 conn
    CRD client (our r/3 client)
    double click..test connection in menu
    2) Invalid characters while loading.
    A) Change them in the PSA & load them.
    3) ALEREMOTE user is locked.
    A) Ask your Basis team to release the user. It is mostly ALEREMOTE.
    2) Password Changed
    3) Number of incorrect attempts to login into ALEREMOTE.
    4) USE SM12 t-code to find out are there any locks.
    4) Lower case letters not allowed.
    A) Uncheck the lower case letters check box under "general" tab in the info object.
    5) While loading the data i am getting messeage that 'Record
    the field mentioned in the errror message is not mapped to any infoboject in the transfer rule.
    6) object locked.
    A) It might be locked by some other process or a user. Also check for authorizations
    7) "Non-updated Idocs found in Source System".
    8) While loading master data, one of the datapackage has a red light error message:
    Master data/text of characteristic ZCUSTSAL already deleted .
    9) extraction job aborted in r3
    A) It might have got cancelled due to running for more than the expected time, or may be cancelled by R/3 users if it is hampering the performance.
    10) request couldnt be activated because there is another request in the psa with a smaller sid
    A)
    11) repeat of last delta not possible
    12) datasource not replicated
    A) Replicate the datasource from R/3 through source system in the AWB & assign it to the infosource and activate it again.
    13) datasource/transfer structure not active.
    A) Use the function module RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL to activate it
    14) ODS activation error.
    A) ODS activation errors can occur mainly due to following reasons-
    1.Invalid characters (# like characters)
    2.Invalid data values for units/currencies etc
    3.Invalid values for data types of char & key figures.
    4.Error in generating SID values for some data.
    15. conversio routine error
    solution.check the data format in source
    16.OBJECT CANOOT BE ACTIVATED.or error when activating object
    check the consistency of the object.
    17.no data found.(in query)
    check the info provider wether data is there or not and delete unsucessful request.
    18.error generating or activating update rules.
    1. 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.
    24. What are the steps to extract data from R/3?
    • Replicate DataSources
    • Assign InfoSources
    • Maintain 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)
    SAP BW Interview Questions 2
    1) What is process chain? How many types are there? How many we use in real time scenario? Can we define interdependent processes with tasks like data loading, cube compression, index maintenance, master data & ods activation in the best possible performance & data integrity.
    2) What is data integrityand how can we achieve this?
    3) What is index maintenance and what is the purpose to use this in real time?
    4) When and why use infocube compression in real time?
    5) What is mean by data modelling and what will the consultant do in data modelling?
    6) How can enhance business content and what for purpose we enhance business content (becausing we can activate business content)
    7) What is fine-tuning and how many types are there and what for purpose we done tuning in real time. tuning can only be done for infocube partitions and creating aggregates or any other?
    8) What is mean by multiprovider and what purpose we use multiprovider?
    9) What is scheduled and monitored data loads and for what purpose?
    Ans # 1:
    Process chains exists in Admin Work Bench. Using these we can automate ETTL processes. These allows BW guys to schedule all activities and monitor (T Code: RSPC).
    PROCESS CHAIN - Before defining PROCESS CHAIN, let us define PROCESS in any given process chain. Is a procedure either with in the SAP or external to it with a start and end. This process runs in the background.
    PROCESS CHAIN is set of such processes that are linked together in a chain. In other words each process is dependent on the previous process and dependencies are clearly defined in the process chain.
    This is normally done in order to automate a job or task that has to execute more than one process in order to complete the job or task.
    1. Check the Source System for that particular PC.
    2. Select the request ID (it will be in Header Tab) of PC
    3. Go to SM37 of Source System.
    4. Double Click on the Job.
    5. You will navigate to a screen
    6. In that Click "Job Details" button
    7. A small Pop-up Window comes
    8. In the Pop-up screen, take a note of
    a) Executing Server
    b) WP Number/PID
    9. Open a new SM37 (/OSM37) command
    10. In the Click on "Application Servers" button
    11. You can see different Application Servers.
    11. Goto Executing server, and Double Click (Point 8 (a))
    12. Goto PID (Point 8 (b))
    13. On the left most you can see a check box
    14. "Check" the check Box
    15. On the Menu Bar.. You can see "Process"
    16. In the "process" you have the Option "Cancel with Core"
    17. Click on that option. * -- Ramkumar K
    Ans # 2:
    Data Integrity is about eliminating duplicate entries in the database and achieve normalization.
    Ans # 4:
    InfoCube compression creates new cube by eliminating duplicates. Compressed infocubes require less storage space and are faster for retrieval of information. Here the catch is .. Once you compress, you can't alter the InfoCube. You are safe as long as you don't have any error in modeling.
    This compression can be done through Process Chain and also manually.

    Ans#3
    Indexing is a process where the data is stored by indexing it. Eg: A phone book... When we write somebodys number we write it as Prasads number would be in "P" and Rajesh's number would be in "R"... The phone book process is indexing.. similarly the storing of data by creating indexes is called indexing.
    Ans#5
    Datamodeling is a process where you collect the facts..the attributes associated to facts.. navigation atributes etc.. and after you collect all these you need to decide which one you ill be using. This process of collection is done by interviewing the end users, the power users, the share holders etc.. it is generally done by the Team Lead, Project Manager or sometimes a Sr. Consultant (4-5 yrs of exp) So if you are new you dont have to worry about it....But do remember that it is a imp aspect of any datawarehousing soln.. so make sure that you have read datamodeling before attending any interview or even starting to work....
    Ans#6
    We can enhance the Business Content bby adding fields to it. Since BC is delivered by SAP Inc it may not contain all the infoobjects, infocubes etc that you want to use according to your company's data model... eg: you have a customer infocube(In BC) but your company uses a attribute for say..apt number... then instead of constructing the whole infocube you can add the above field to the existing BC infocube and get going...
    Ans#7
    Tuning is the most imp process in BW..Tuning is done the increase efficiency.... that means lowering time for loading data in cube.. lowering time for accessing a query.. lowering time for doing a drill down etc.. fine tuning=lowering time(for everything possible)...tuning can be done by many things not only by partitions and aggregates there are various things you can do... for eg: compression, etc..
    Ans#8
    Multiprovider can combine various infoproviders for reporting purposes.. like you can combine 4-5 infocubes or 2-3 infocubes and 2-3 ODS or IC, ODS and Master data.. etc.. you can refer to help.sap.com for more info...
    Ans#9
    Scheduled data load means you have scheduled the loading of data for some particular date and time you can do it in scheduler tab if infoobject... and monitored means you are monitoring that particular data load or some other loads by using transaction RSMON.
    1.Procedure for repeat delta?
    You need to make the request status to Red in monitor screen and then delete it from ODS/Cube. Then when you open infopackage again, system will prompt you for repeat delta.
    also.....
    Goto RSA7->F2->Update Mode--->Delta Repetation
    Delta repeation is done based on type of upload you are carrying on.
    1. if you are loading masterdata then most of the time you will change the QM status to red and then repeat the delta for the repeat of delta. the delta is allowed only if you make the changes.
    and some times you need to do the RnD if the repeat of delta is not allowed even after the qm status id made to red. here you have to change the QM status to red.
    If this is not the case, the source system and therefore also the extractor, have not yet received any information regarding the last delta and you must set the request to GREEN in the monitor using a QM action.
    The system then requests a delta again since the last delta request has not yet occurred for the extractor.
    Afterwards, you must reset the old request that you previously set to GREEN to RED since it was incorrect and it would otherwise be requested as a data target by an ODS.
    Caution: If the termianted request was a REPEAT request itself, always set this to RED so that the system tries to carry out a repeat again.
    To determine whether a delta or a repeat are to be requested, the system ONLY uses the status of the monitor.
    It is irrelevant whether the request is updated in a data target somewhere.
    When activating requests in an ODS, the system checks delta repeat requests for completeness and the correct sequence.
    Each green delta/repeat request in the monitor that came from the same DataSource/source system combination must be updated in the ODS before activation, which means that in this case, you must set them back to RED in the monitor using a QM action when using the solution described above.
    If the source of the data is a DataMart, it is not just the DELTARNR field that is relevant (in the roosprmsc table in the system in which the source DataMart is, which is usually your BW system since it is a Myself extraction in this case), rather the status of the request tabstrip control is relevant as well.
    Therefore, after the last delta request has terminated, go to the administration of your data source and check whether the DataMart indicator is set for the request that you wanted to update last.
    If this is NOT the case, you must NOT request a repeat since the system would also retransfer the data of the last delta but one.
    This means, you must NOT start a delta InfoPackage which then would request a repeat because the monitor is still RED. For information about how to correct this problem, refer to the following section.
    For more information about this, see also Note 873401.
    Proceed as follows:
    Delete the rest of this request from ALL updated data targets, set the terminated request to GREEN IN THE MONITOR and request a new DELTA.
    Only if the DataMart indicator is set does the system carry out a repeat correctly and transfers only this data again.
    This means, that only in this case can you leave the monitor status as it is and restart the delta InfoPackage. Then this creates a repeat request
    In addition, you can generally also reset the DATAMART indicator and then work using a delta request after you have set the incorrect request to GREEN in the monitor.
    Simply start the delta InfoPackage after you have reset the DATAMART indicator AND after you have set the last request that was terminated to GREEN in the monitor.
    After the delta request has been carried out successfully, remember to reset the old incorrect request to RED since otherwise the problems mentioned above will occur when you activate the data in a target ODS.
    What is process chain and how you used it?
    A) Process chains are tool available in BW for Automation of upload of master data and transaction data while taking care of dependency between each processes.
    B) In one of our scenario we wanted to upload wholesale price infoobject which will have wholesale price for all the material. Then we wanted to load transaction data. While loading transaction data to populate wholesale price, there was a look up in the update rule on this InfoObject masterdata table. This dependency of first uploading masterdata and then uploading transaction data was done through the process chain.
    What is process chain and how you used it?
    A) We have used process chains to automate the delta loading process. Once you are finished with your design and testing you can automate the processes listed in RSPC. I have a real time example in the attachment.
    1. What is process chain and how you used it?
    Process chains are tool available in BW for Automation of upload of master data and transaction data while taking care of dependency between each processes.
    2. What is transaction for creating Process Chains ?
    RSPC .
    3. Explain Colector Process ?
    Collector processes are used to manage multiple predecessor
    processes that feed into the same subsequent process. The collector
    processes available for BW are:
    AND :
    All of the direct predecessor processes must raise an event in order for subsequent processes to be executed
    OR :
    A least one predecessor process must send an event The first predecessor process that sends an event triggers the subsequent process
    Any additional predecessor processes that send an event will again trigger
    subsequent process (Only if the chain is planned as “periodic”)
    EXOR : Exclusive “OR”
    Similar to regular “OR”, but there is only ONE execution of the successor
    processes, even if several predecessor processes raise an event
    4. What are application Process ?
    Application processes represent BW activities that are typically
    performed as part of BW operations.
    Examples include:
    Data load
    Attribute/Hierarchy Change run
    Aggregate rollup
    Reporting Agent Settings
    5. Tell some facts about process Chains
    Process chains are transportable Button for writing to a change request when
    maintaining a process chain in RSPC
    Process chains available in the transport connection wizard (administrator workbench)
    If a process “dumps”, it is treated in the same manner as a failed process
    Graphical display of Process Chain Maintenance requires the 620 SAPGUI and SAP BW 3.0B Frontend GUI
    A special control background job runs to facilitate the execution of the of the other batch jobs of the process chain
    Note your BTC process distribution, and make sure that an extra BTC process is available so the supporting control job can run immediately
    6. What happens when chain is activated ?
    When a chain gets activated It will be copied into active version The processes will be planned in batch as program RSPROCESS with type and variant given as parameters with job name BI_PROCESS_<TYPE> waiting for event, except the trigger The trigger is planned as specified in its variant, if “start via meta-chain” it is not planned to batch
    7. Steps in process chains ?
    Go to transaction code-> RSPC
    Follow the Basic Flow of Process chain..
    1. Start chain
    2. Delete BasicCube indexes
    3. Load data from the source system into the PSA
    4. Load data from the PSA into the ODS object
    5. Activate data in the ODS object
    6. Load data from the ODS object in the BasicCube
    7. Create indexes after loading for the BasicCube
