BCS: unable to determine consolidation area for data basis B1

Dear gurus,
   I have two consolidation areas B1 and Y1 on the same data basis B1. I want to report the data of consolidation area Y1. I created a query which had the restrictions on consolidation chart of accounts, fiscal year variant, version, fiscal year, posting period and group currency. But when I opened the query with BEx Analyzer, the error prompted like below:
   Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
   Error reading the data of InfoProvider ZCB_B1V11
   Unable to determine consolidation area for data basis B1
The row of the query is Item. I found if I activated the hierarchy of Item, this error occured and if deactivated the hierarchy of Item, the error disappeared.
Please advise. Points will be awarded if helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jin Ming,
Something is wrong with your hierarchy.
In my case items hierarchy works fine.
May propose two cases:
1. Which version of your hierarchy, defaulted 100 or not? If not - wait for trouble.
2. Hierarchy are global for all consolidation areas. If you hierarcical structures in different cons areas assigned to different special versions, the I'd not exclude some controversies between globality and special version pecularities.
Hope this helps.

Unable to determine consolidation Area for Databasis AF

Hi All,
I wanted to check BCS results in BW I found the following errors in running query:
1. Error reading the data of InfoProvider BCS_C1V11 (Virtual cube)
2.Unable to determine consolidation Area for Databasis AF
Can anybody advise, what sould be the probable reasons? I regenerated the consolidation areas, still its same error. Any thoughts, what I should look into.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashwin Nagar

Hi Ashwin,
You need to specify BCS mandatory fields when doing a listcube from the virtual cube.
Period
Year
Controlling Area
CS Chart
CS Version
BCS Version (or any other custom versions)
Fiscal Year Variant
Group Currency
If you are trying to get consolidated results, make sure cons group is a field for display from the cube.
Also, if running for a consolidation group, you must enter the cons group you want plus all groups which roll into it.
For example, if you have
CG 1
- CG 2
- - CG 3
- CG4
and you want to get results for CG1, you need to enter CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4.
This is why List of Totals Records is preferred.
Hope that helps

Not possible to determine posting period for date

Hi SAP Guru
While Creating the Shipment cost document in [VI01] transaction I am getting the error
Not possible to determine posting period for date with error Message no. SE105. There is no long text available
Please provide the solution for the same
Regards
Rahul

Hi Friend,
Check the posting periods for the company code in OB62 and OMSY.
Check whether they are in currenct date or not.
if not maintain them in MMPV for Company code.and OB62 for the fiscal year variant.

Planning & Consolidation Questionnaires for Data Collection

Hi Friends,
I need some help on the following documents.
*1.Does any body have Planning & consolidation Questionnaires for Data collection (information gathering)*
*2.Document on BPC integration with Other systems

VenK7337,
Could you show your python code. so we know what your are "writing" to the ethernet port?
That way we can see what you are receiving.
Parsing the incoming data (from the TCP-read) depends heavily on the device that sends it, and can not generically be described. LabVIEW has many byte (and even bit) manipulation functions to convert many different data formats to its own build in formats.
So after the TCP listener is connected, you are constantly reading from the established connection (until it gets broken of course). More advanced example would be the internet toolkit if oyu have it.
From the read characters (and I hope you designed a protocol with a clear starting character, ending character and maybe even a build in checksum) you parse the data and perform you action, and of course generate a reply. Again the internet toolkit is a good example. It parsed the input as it comes it, based on the HTTP format. Then generates the reply based on the request received.
These days I would suggest not to use binairy encoded numerics. Try and use XML formatted data. Yes, it causes a lot of overhead. But typically this is not an issue and makes the code a lot more portable and maintainable. Also makes it easier to interface with other languages/platforms.
Umless of course you are looking at Khz data rates, then XML is not th preferred choice.
Hope this helps...

Determine IOPS/Throughput for Data Warehouse

We are migrating our DW to new servers but before we install Oracle we want
to check IOPS of new servers. As Oracle and other technical expert suggests we
are planning to create the DB with 32K block size with DBMRC=32 so total IO
size of 1 M but the test I performed does not support that theory. Please advise
where I am wrong OR what is the best way to check the throughput:
Here are my results:
1. Created a 2 GB file deleteme
2. For 32*32 results are: (block size=32, db_block_multi_read-count=32)
time dd if=deleteme of=deleteme2 bs=1048576 (32*32)
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
real 0m42.94s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m1.22s
Result: 47.69 IOPS 1MB each.
2. For 32*8 results are: (block size=32, db_block_multi_read-count=8)
time dd if=deleteme of=deleteme2 bs=262144 (32*8)
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
real 0m28.12s
user 0m0.02s
sys 0m3.69s
Result: 291.32 IOPS 256K each.
Based upon above is it better to have IO size for the DB as 256K? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I/O throughout is a function of the transfer size, access type (read/write random/sequential), access range (e.g. 1 MB vs. 1 TB), arrival rate, and most importantly, the number of concurrent threads (load level). The dd command for instance is single threaded, while a file system or database can generate hundreds of concurrent threads.
Under the control of ORACLE, data must be written through the page cache (O_DSYNC flag in open()) and the database manages it own cache, so for the most part, a file system page cache is redundant and adds a lot of overhead to I/O when used with a database. Direct I/O (the forcedirectio option of UFS for example) is often the best choice with ORACLE.
In all cases the combination of application demand, like a 32 KB block size in ORACLE with multi-block read count set for 1 MB reads, with some number of shadow process or SQLNET threads, is going to generate a characteristic I/O workload as described by its distribution of level and composition (IO size, access type). This is the key to understanding the performance capability of any given storage resource, likewise it is the key to determining how much of a given resource is needed to target and achieve a specific performance level for a specific workload arrival rate, load level distribution and composition.
Also, when configuring a system for 1 MB I/O you have to adjust some kernel and filesystem parameters. The Solaris maxphys, SVM md_maxphys, VxVM vol_maxio and UFS maxcontig are examples. I have heard the maxphys is adaptive in Solaris 10, but I have yet to see it adapt, and the md_maxphys (if using SVM on top of hardware RAID LUNS for example) does not adapt, nor does maxcontig (newfs �C or tunefs �a) in UFS. Each filesystem has its own configuration parameters you need to look at to see how to effect allocation and in particular contiguous allocation sizes. VxFS for example will use a 64 KB file allocation size by default and needs to be adjusted to get > 64 KB I/O. There may be other parameters governing I/O size through your filesystem as well, but these are mostly an issue if you not using Direct I/O.
Once the workload is known the expected throughput for a complex combination of I/O sizes, and access types for a given load level can be estimated very accurately by weighted averages of the pure I/O size and access types as measured over the range of load level, from single thread to saturation for each I/O size and access type. The final result is according to Littles law: (X = N/R) * U, where X is IOPS, N is load level, R is response time (which is a function of load level and composition at the level of a single resource, which is determined by how many resources the load is being spread, as discussed above) and U is busy utilization�a measure of how sustained is the arrival rate.
The idea is to spread the load evenly over some number of physical resources such that per resource load level is in a comfortable and/or targeted range of response time for your SLA, understanding that response time is a function of load level and composition at the unit of resource level, and throughput is a function of load level and response time. This defines the capability of the storage system, for the given workload, how much of that capability is used defines head room and is a function of arrival rate.
There are tools available that you can get for free evaluation to find out what your workload is, and also to profile your storage resources to determine its capability.

Unable to get database format for date object

Hi,
I am using UDT to build an universe against Oracle DB, We are using a view to get date object to filter the dates in our reports. Format for the date column in the view is "dd-MMM-yy". Desired format at the WebI layer is also "dd-MMM-yy"
However, when I pull this object in WebI in filter pane, I am still getting Timestamp with date and the format is also coming as "mm/dd/yyy hh:mm:ss a"; and, if I pull the date column in results pane I am getting the correct format "dd-MMM-yy". I tried typing the value for prompt, using calender (this also gives default timestamp) none of them worked
I tried using with and with out the TRUNC(date) function, changed object properties at universe level but, still I am getting the same result
Can you please guide me on, how to get the date value in "dd-MMM-yy" when used in prompt and, is there a possibility to not show timestamp in calendar selection (screenshot: Date parameters2)
Thanks in advance
Sri

Hi Jacq,
Thanks for your reply. We are on BO4.0 SP04 FP03 with Oracle 11g as back end
Object type is defined as Date in universe. In the report and the SQL generated are showing as per the backend column format 'dd-MMM-yy'
However, same date object is showing with timestamp, as 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss a' format when showing LOV's & when selected using calender GUI in prompt screen
I already tried the below options in various combinations, none of them worked
1) TRUNC(date)
2) Object Properties - Advanced
3) Object Format - custom
Thanks,

MB5B - Stock on Posting Date, Specification for data base accec

Hi,
I am facing some problem with MB5B Transaction as when we login with t. code MB5B at the bottom of screen there is radio button selection for specification of database access for best runtime and the default the first radio button is selected i.e Database determines optimum access but with this report is coming very very slow we have to wait for 4 minuts for each material and same if we execute by selectting the second radio button i.e start off with material number i am getting data very fast with in 5 second so i want to know what is diffference between these radio buttons if we select first second or third radio buttons
one more thing we are facing problem from last 4 days only .

I dont have these 3 buttons in my MB5B in ECC6 system.
But I saw OSS Note 1005901 - MB5B: Performance problems
it explains why it is that slow.

Costing Structures for Data Basis

We are trying to create a strucutre in SEM - BW compoent
But we are getting errors from message class FINB_CONFIG.
Want to understand what is this message class and what does it mean?
Thanks and regards

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for the response. My answers are below.
1. May I know in more details about the columns structure. What's in it, and how restricted?
The following characteristics are in each column of the structure:
a. Controlling Area - variable selection (1000 = budget, 2000 = actuals)
b. Version - variable selection (300 = budget, 900 = actuals at GAAP rate, 950 = actuals at management rate (different currency translation method)
c. Fiscal Year - variable selection
d. Posting Period - variable selection
e. Cons Group - node selected from cons. group hierarchy that corresponds to business region (domestic, europe, corporate, etc.)
Key figure: Periodic value in Group Currency
So the structure is supposed to show Actual GAAP values, Management values, and Budget values for each business region.
2. ConsGroup hier is used in the columns structure -- how, exactly... and in the filter area -- how restricted, exactly?
Even though Cons. Group is restricted in the column structure as described above, the customer wanted the flexibility to still select a specific Cons. Group as filter criteria, so a variable selection from hierarchy was added to the filter area. Most of the time the report will be executed leaving this blank. They understand that selecting a value here will limit the data that is available in the column structure.
Additional info:
Originally the report pulled data directly from the transactional cube. All columns of the structure were populated upon report execution, but I wanted to switch to the virtual cube and use Cons. Group instead of simply aggregating Cons. Units (per original query design) so that interunit eliminations would be properly reported. The virtual cube was added to the multiprovider so I am now restricting the Infoprovider characteristic in the query's filter area to the virtual cube but am now encountering this error message upon execution.
Thanks again,
Samir

Unable to determine Auto batch

Hi Gurus,
My user is doing STO scenario,
He created P.O after that he done Vl10b and now he is doing delivery,
At this point user wants batch to be determine automatically.
I have maintained auto batch tick for the batch item category.
I have checked the stock for that material also, But still i am unable to determine auto batch for that material.
So please suggest me what setting need to be done to determine auto batch for this scenario.
Thanks and Regards
Subramanyam.N

Hi Subramanyam,
Please check configuration steps for automatic Batch determination in delivery,As its very difficult to tell wht might be missing so i hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
To trigger the batch number in the delivery document automatically we need to do necessary configuration and master data maintenance.
1.Batch management works on condition technique, menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check. Here we need to create new strategy types if necessary and access sequence if necessary, and also batch search procedure if necessary
2.Allocate the SD batch search procedure using the menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check à Batch Search Procedure Allocation and check activation à Allocate SD search procedure/Activate check.
3.Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD using menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check à Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD. Here we have two options, 1. To activate batch determination for sales order item and 2. is to activate batch determination for delivery item, upon the requirement we can activate at both the places, But in general batch are activated only at delivery item level.
4.If we need shelf life expiration date for the batch we need to create a class using u201Ct code: CL01u201D, type in a name for the class and select the class type as u201C023 u2013 Batchu201D and maintain the characteristics as LOBM_VFDAT and LOBM_HSDAT (this for production).
5.Once the class is created go to material master under classification tab and maintain the class created.
6.One more important setting in the material master is to check the batch management. This need to be done before you process the material for orders.
7.Go to create batches for materials using t code: MSC1N or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch à Create/change/display. You can create new batches for the materials and also maintain the Shelf life expiration date (SLED) in the batch master.
8.so as to determine the batch automatically we need to maintain a condition record for batch search strategy type using t code: VCH1 or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch Determination à Batch Search Strategy à for sales and distribution à create/change/display. During the maintenance, maintain the class also in the condition record.
These steps will automatically trigger batch management during delivery processing. System will allot the batch automatically upon the availability of the stock in the batch.

Pavan

Secure one consolidation area - authorization question

Hi,
I want to secure one consolidation area within an SAP SEM Sandbox (on Netweaver 2004 basis) for the consolidation workbench (ucwb).
The background is, that i´ll have on consolidation are for traiing purposes with a showcase (that i want to secure) and the other consolidation area´s can be used for sandbox purposes.
I try to find the correct authorizations object to avoid these one cons. area from changes, but I don´t find anything.
Do you have some idea´s, which authorization object(s) I can use for this purpose?
Regards,
Dennis

Dear Mani,
thanks for your answer. But how can I control the authorization check for the consolidation area? Which elements are responsible for this authorization check, that I have to assign to the users, which are not allowed to change the consolidation area in the consolidation workbench, or is this authorization check only valid within the Consolidation Monitor?
Hope you can help me,
Regards,
Dennis

Data base for mobile

Hi Jyothi,
IBase forms a stnd tileset under bus component Accounts in MSA.Whether its demarcated to viewing,depends on the bus context.
Info about Ibase is of immense help for Sales/Serv Pro, working for service intensive products like Gas turbines/Space Propulsion systems et al wherein a substantial portion of revenue stream is realised from MROs( esp A&D Comp),for account maximization.(Barring Planned Services for getting more IBases into the Serv Product Portfolio).

Transport Data Basis

I have create Request no for Data basis.
When my basis team transport the change request for the data basis, there is an error say : "No suitable RFC Destination could be found". Although, I Have no define any RFC destination in Data basis because the BW and Sem BCS are in the same server.
Any idea on this??
Thanks.

To Eugene n Mani,
I have check the ABAP memory in Profile Parameter setting, it is already set to 300MB. Help Documentation told me that normally it is set in 200-300 MB. So I assume , The ABAP Memory is enough in 300MB. Don't you think so?
I have also tried to maintain the fiscal year just like Mani told. But the short dump still exist.
Back to the first Error ( RFC Connection Error which is solved using Julia and your previous message. Thanks to all of you),
These was happened,
1. In one "Request No", I save the data basis setting, the consolidation area setting, the periodic setting, the version setting.
2. I tried to transport the "Request No" , but error on RFC Connection.
So I tried to create the RFC connections and assign them in FINB_TR_Dest (both in Development and Production). Tried and tried again.But none of them work. Then finally, I tried to create RFC Connection only in production which is point to Client 008. From your explanation , I assumed my RFC were already correct. But the error still exists.
3. In desperate, I tried to make another "Request No" which is only include the data basis setting. Since I have already set all the setting for data basis, I just change the description of the data basis in order to make the "Request No" show up.
4. Afterwards, I transported the new request no. And it was successfull (no error in RFC Connection).
When I check on the production, system not only transport the changes for the new request no (changes on the data basis description) but it also transport the consolidation area. This is so strange for me. It seems when we create the request no, system do not record only the changes but all setting . Is it right? Is it the concept of Transport?
5.When I click on data basis which is created during the transport, the short dump show up :=))
I have already send message to SAP.
Thanks for all your respond and suggestion.

Sales order purchase order field is updated with dots in data base table

HI
we have problem in Production when sale order created
P O date is update with dots and these dots we are unable to see at screen and data base table
we go t change mode of the order and delete the P O field with back space (button) and saving the order
when we see the change log of the order
there it is sowing
Old value = " . . "
New Value = " 00.00.0000"
Can any one give the suggetions to come out of this problem
This is we have noticed with only two customers
Thanks and regards

Hi Kishore,
Two things could have happened:
1) Since this is happening with only two customers - I am sure it has got to do with some custom code on your system which is causing this problem. I 'd suggest you to create a new order with all the fields
2) It could be a bug with SAP- might want to check relevant SAP Notes. ( But this could not be a reason, if yes should have had the same prob with all cusotmers)

What is logical data base and how it is differfrom DDIC AND DATABASE

HI ,
CAN ANY BODY HELP ME TO FIND THIS

Hi
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. You can link a logical database to an ABAP/4 report program as an attribute. The logical database then supplies the report program with a set of hierarchically structured table lines which can be taken from different database tables.
LDB offers an easy-to-use selection screens. You can modify the pre-generated selection screen to your needs. It offers check functions to check whether user input is complete, correct, and plausible. It offers reasonable data selections. It contains central authorization checks for data base accesses. Enhancements such as improved performance immediately apply to all report programs that use the logical database.
Less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
Mainly we used LDBs in HR Abap Programming.
Where all tables are highly inter related so LDBs can optimize the performance there.
