BAM report requirement

Hi All,
I have an external data source in this format:
IGroup IId Status
A x Success
A x Success
A x Error
A x Error
A x Success
A z Success
A z Error
B y Success
B y Error
B y Error.
I want to generate a tabular report in the following format
IGroup IId Count(Sucecss) Count(Error)
A x 3 2
A z 1 1
B y 1 2
Can anyone please tell me if this is achievable? If yes, then how and what would be the best view to implement this.. I have tried a lot of views for this. Some views do not allow me to use aggregate functions, some views do not allow me to use distinct.
Also, I would like to ask, if we can add a calculated field in an external data source. When I am trying to do so, It does not give me any option to add a fielld.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

auto-refresh is not available at the moment. Unfortunately, there is no work around either. However, we provide sliding time window feature also known as Active Now. Using this, you can choose a past or future time window starting from "Now" and the refresh interval of this window and as an example, you could say, I want to get all the orders that happened in last 15 minutes, update this resultset every 1 min. So, for your case, if this works, you could modify your use case a little and use this option. This is available through filter entry "is with in a time interval" - you will have to check the "Active Now" check box and choose the active now interval.
Thanks,

New changes are not getting reflected in the bam reports.

Hi
I have created a BPEL process and it polls the data from a table and populate an object created in Bam.I have accomplished the above task by createing two database adaptors.One is on 10g database and another one is on Bam database.I have created a view based on the bamobject and used a database adaptor to populate the data. BPEL process is populating the data properly to that bamobject but those changes are not reflecting to bam reports automaticaly. We need to refresh the report or reprompt the report to see the changes.Could some help me to reslove this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi charles
I have tried that option too.But that is also not working. BPEL Procees is able to populate the BAM object with the help of the sensor.But those changes are not getting reflected in BAM Reports.But if i create or update an existing record in BAM object through BAM Architect, those changes are getting reflected in BAM Reports(No manual intervention is required).
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Creating BAM report using data of two database tables. Say "EmployeeTable" and "DepartmentTable

I want to populate data from two database tables into a BAM report. I have created two data objects for the tables and want to create 3rd data object so that it can take the data from the other data objects automatically. Is there any such facility within BAM?

Hi
1. I am not sure if you have option to combine multiple DataObjects like that.
2. For your scenario, on Database side itself, I would recommend Create a VIEW that joins these 2 Tables and pull the required Columns and add required conditions. Verify the VIEW has all the rows expected.
3. Then create DataObject for this View. Once you have DataObject, create the Report.

BAM report export as a Excel

Hi,
I have one requirment in my project.
we create List BAM reports with one button.If we click on the button list report need to export as excel report .
How to achive this.
Please help me on this.

Hi,
Use the Excel View Widgets in BAM Studio.
About Excel View
The Excel spreadsheet view displays columns containing rows of data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This view enables you to save the content externally (outside of the Oracle BAM applications) in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The Excel view requires that Microsoft Excel version XP, 2003, or 2007 is installed on the client computer.

BAM Report output in a tabular format and ability to print

We are using ALBPM V6 BAM reporting.
We know that the BAM provides a dashboard for the same in a graphical manner. But, for a tabular report we were not able to find any in built feature in ALBPM.
We want to know if it can be achieved using some inherent feature of ALBPM screenflow / presentation or do we need to use custom mechanism to display the report and get printing features etc.

I had a similar requirement and decided to run the report from forms. When a button is pressed, the report is run to create the pdf file, followed by separate command to invoke acrobat reader or internet explorer to display the file, rather than using reports previewer.
The file can be displayed from forms by a host command in client server, or by web.show_document on the web.

How to show the processing time taken for a BPEL process in BAM report.

Hi All,
I have the data as below in the Data object. I would like to show the time taken for each order to complete in the report.
instance Id     order Id     product Name     product Code     price     status     instance Time      updaterName
1360010     ord004     Guitar     prod003     2000     requested     9/22/2008 12:12:11 PM     Invoke_InsertSalesOrder
1360010     ord004     Guitar     prod003     2000     Approved     9/22/2008 12:15:11 PM     Invoke_OrderStatusUpdate
This data comes from simple BPEL process where sensors are configured at the start and end of BPEL process. Also have a human task activity in between to create the time difference.
In Enterprise link design studio, I tried to calculate the time difference using expression calculator and store it as calculated field. But that doesn't seems to work because when I execute the plan, second sensor data reaches only after human approval whereas first sensor data would be waiting for calculation and ultimately nothing comes into data object.
How and where the calculation be done to show the processing time in the report. Please someone throw some light on this.
Regards
Jude.

I would suggest modifying your data object so that the data can all be in a single row and use the sensor at the end of the process to upsert (update) the row created by the sensor at the start of the process. The time difference between two fields in the same row is then an easy calculation on a BAM report -- No EL plan should be needed.

Any tips at this Reporting requirement gathering stage?

Hello Experts,
I have 10 different sources of data which will mostly come to me in flat files.
Some of the data coming to me for <b>UPDATE</b> will be
1. daily,           (3 of the sources)
2. weekly,       (2 of the sources)
3. monthly      (2 of the sources)
4. quarterly.   (2 of the sources)
Some of the reporting requirements are <b>(GENERATE REPORTS)</b>:
a) As needed i.e. on demand by managers
b) Monthly
c) Quarterly
I am still in the report requirement gathering phase and I would like some hints here:
Q1. What are the Dos and Donts?
Q2. Does it matter whether the various sources are loaded into Cubes or ODSes? Which is the better choices and for what reasons?
Q3. Any special guide on the frequency of Updates?
Q4. Can the data elements from the 10 sources be all placed in say, 2 or 3 dimensions and within a single Cube? Any advantages of this?
Q5. Can each of the data elements from the 10 sources be placed in say, 10 different ODSes? Any advantages of this?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Amanda,
Actually, Id split the process into those stages:
1.     gathering report forms that users want to have and a frequency of report generation.
2.     collection information on available sources of data
3.     analysis: do the sources will provide all data for forms required simultaneously the list of reports that would be possible to create is made. Here you can take into account not only availability of resources, but also budget/time/work force limitation. Itll determine the scope of implementation.
4.     Conceptual model (with parallel excersises in BW).
     If some reports (and data in them) are completely different, dont having common information, then consider creating separate data providers.
     If some reports (and data in them) have something in common, then consider creating separate data providers with a multiprovider on them.
     If all data are linked to some key(s) (for example a document number), then consider creating a single cube
     Determine time granularity (are your weekly, monthly and quarterly data may be derived from the daily data? If yes, maybe these data (except daily) are redundant. If not, then probably these data supply some additional information to daily? consider merging this additional info into daily cube (or probably through separate ODS or cubes).
So, its a somewhat an answer to Q2 and Q5.
Q3. You may load data just before (say a several days) the reports generation.
Q4. See above about single cube. Additionally, the rule of thumb is to have more little dimensions than few huge dimensions. Consider spreading out your chars into different dimensions. If youll be able to have all data in a single cube, it would give you an enormous flexibility in building reports (especially, not mandatory ones, but ad-hoc reports on demand).
Also you can visit www.saptips.com site. I downloaded Tips on Implementing a BW-Based Management Reporting Solution (and Getting Your Users to Use It!) but cannot find it in inet. If you want I can send it to you along with SAP BW projects: dos and donts (ppt-demo and transcript).

FICO:What are the critical reporting requirements of a finance department?

Hi Experts,
Can you help me identify all the reporting requirements of a finance departmentn when it comes to the use of BW?
i. From a reporting perpective, what does the finance department need from BI to say that BI is a worthwhile investiment?
ii. Does BI provide any of the answers provided in i. (above) through its business content objects? If so, can you discuss how BI provides each of the solutions? (I will apprecaite a discussion for the "finance team" and not neccessarily for the IT team)
iii. If all the requirements of a finance department are already available with a newly installed BI, then
what are the typical functions of a BI consultant to a finance department? i.e. why will a finance department find the need to bring in a BI consutant to advise them on how best to use BW in their environment?
iv. How does the above discussion pertain to CO. i.e. If your discussion above is strictly for FI, can you address i, ii, iii for CO?
Thanks and Happy Holiday.

Hi
From a reporting perpective, what does the finance department need from BI to say that BI is a worthwhile investiment?
Normally Financial reports needed for the customer will be P&L, Balance sheet, Cashflow statements and the AR, AP and also Controlling and the Turn over Ratios to know about the financial funding stage about their organization based on their functional requirements.
ii. Does BI provide any of the answers provided in i. (above) through its business content objects? If so, can you discuss how BI provides each of the solutions? (I will apprecaite a discussion for the "finance team" and not neccessarily for the IT team)
Better to talk to your FI CO team for this to understand better at ECC functional level to know what would be the best extractors that you can report on. BI content is already there for almost FI CO reports.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/2d/955a73da4d6d41a0a6128caf274ce8/frameset.htm
and everything mentioned clearly in that why , how , what.
iii. If all the requirements of a finance department are already available with a newly installed BI, then
what are the typical functions of a BI consultant to a finance department? i.e. why will a finance department find the need to bring in a BI consutant to advise them on how best to use BW in their environment?
Though the Finance team has every Extractor at ECC side its only BI consultant who has to work on Modeling , Extraction, Reporting Part for BEx Reports. You have to Map the Fields even though its BI Content some of the Customized objects like Routines, Formulas would be there for each and every project .
iv. How does the above discussion pertain to CO. i.e. If your discussion above is strictly for FI, can you address i, ii, iii for CO?

Standard Report requirement

Hi Guys
In my current implementation i have one report requirement.
Iam giving lot of benefits to my employees. I like to capture all the expenses employee wise.
I have already uploaded the employee personel number and during transactions we are entering the personel number
But we i go and check the report, in the dynamic selection the personel number is not available
Is it possible to take a standard report based on personnel number. If i give a personel number - i should get all the expnese gl accounts done for that employee
Warm Regards
Bala

Hi:
I have a suggestion.
Create Employees as Employee vendors in Accounts payable.While creating vendor master, In the accounting information tab, assign the personel no.You have a separate reconciliation account for this employee vendors.
Make Payments to vendor by using T.code F-53 . You can view the report of all employees to whom payment was made.
You can view the standard reports to see the payments made to the employees.
S_ALR_87012103 - List of Vendor Line Items
S_ALR_87012083 - List of Vendor Open Items for Printing
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Can any one give idea.
Thanks,
Satya

Hi Satya,
Follow the below given steps,
1) Goto rows area and right click to create new formula variable.
2) In the edit step of your formula, remove the default description and put a &, you will get different options. select the new text variable.
3) Give the variable name, description and select the type as replacement path.
4) On the next screen select your characteristics i.e. Internal cost type (first char).
5) on the next screen select replace variable with Key or text value whichever you want.
6) Here we are done with heading part.
Now for defination of formula variable,
1) Right click on Formual variable tree and create a new variable.
2) Select type as replacement path and on next screen select the other characteristics i.e. Internal cost value i.e. 222.
3) Again on next screen replace variable with key.
4) Finally select Dimension indicator as Number.
5) We are ready to use the variable. In the defination part use newly created variable.
Now you will get the output in exactly required format.

Report requirement, for count before the input selection.

Hi All,
I have a requirement:
And in infoprovider we have :
in 07.2011, 10 records were created.
in 08.2011, 40 records were created.
in 09.2011, 50 records were created.
in 10.2011, 70 records were created.
User enters month interval like 07.2011 - 10.2011
and wants outout like:
Calmonth:... 07.2011....08.2011.......09.2011.......10.2011
Count : ........30010.......30050...........30100..........30170
Means.in report 07.2011 should show all the count upto 07.2011,
Similarly 08.2011 show all counts upto 08.2011 month. And in same way others also.
Since input is 07.2011 to 10.2011, so report is considering only data between this range only.
How do i get count before 07.2011 in report and meet report requirement.
Please suggest and let me know if more information is required.
Thanks,
Jitender.

Hi Jitender,
It is not possible to generate the query columns dynamically in the output based on the user input.
For getting the aggregated value what you can do is, create a customer exit variable on fiscal period and restrict it from some starting period till user entered period.
In your example let us say you have data from 07.2009 then your customer exit variable will have range from 07.2009 till 07.2011. Use this variable in a RKF with count as key figure and period as customer exit variable here you will get the output as 30010.
For getting the next columns you can change the period range by using offset. But you will have to create different columns beforehand in the query design itself. The only thing you can do is based on the user input different columns will be populated even you can keep the dynamic text using text variable so that you will get dynamic period heading but dynamic creation of columns is not possible.

Durgesh.

For financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost

For financial reporting requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost to profit and loss a/c

In our senario _ cost is booking cost centers and revenues booking concern profit centers .
for Financial reporting requirment can I include secondary cost to profit and loss a/c
what is the impact on the report
exp: salary booking in primary cost,than Per hour man hour cost computed by costing dept for allocate to concern department
it is cost center activity price we specify in kp26 at the time of pm order confirm it will confim the activity quandity price will from planning area only, so for salaries in primary g/ls already captured, if we consider secondary it may double booking

Reporting requirements to Filter on query results

Hi Everyone,
Part of our reporting requirements for Billing Data is to display all Invoices Created till the 15th of the Month. Users want to trend analyze Invoice created till 15th of each month for last 6 months. The report has a time filter to get Invoices for last 6 months.
How do we further filter all Invoices created till 15th of each month?
Thanks for all your answers in Advance.
CM

HI,
I think the best way would be - create an infoobject containing the day (from your date). Then you use calmonth and the new infoobject as time characteristics and restrict both (calmonth on the calmonth, calmonth - 1,...) and "day" as fix filter value for 1 to 15.
This will work.
If you can't extend you cube, you should try it with an virtuel cube where you use your original cube as source. the virtual cube contains the new infoobject "day".
Cheers
J
