Best Prctice to sync two environment Planning data

Hi Experts,
What could be best feasible option to keep two environment in sync?
1) Shared services console
2) using migration utiliy (Utility.bat)
Ver: 11.1.2
Regards
Kumar

Thanks Alp/John for the help.
It’s very useful information regarding migration using LCM.
1. Lcm utility is best for automating the migration whereas shared services is mostly used for defining the migration and running them manually.I got answer of my Q1.(LCM utility is better in my scenario)
2. Planning data migration is essentially essbase data migration. So you can either use lcm or export/import.export/import is OK may be maxl, Could you please hint how to use LCM to migrate Planning data (essbase)? (As I am not sure if LCM-shared services will allow exporting Planning apps data. though you can migrate essbase data using LCM but it allows only essbase applications data)

Kumar

Best way to sync two Macs?

I recently got a new iMac, which means I now run Mac OS X Lion on an iMac as well as on a MacBook Pro. This means I now need to keep the two machines in sync. I am finding that although iCloud takes care of my calendar, photos, and contacts, it is not useful when it comes to documents and other data. Could someone please suggest the best way of keeping the two Macs in sync?

Sorry No.
I don't have a need for such syncing.
But the app is around for quite some time and they have a time-limited Trial version.

What is the best way to sync two computers

I have my work computer and my home computer and I would like my photos and work I do on one show up on the other and vice versa. What is the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Lightroom wasn't designed to do this.
The workaround that works the best from Lightroom's point of view is to put your catalog file and all photos on an external HD and move this external HD back and forth. Of course, the drawback is that you have to carry the external HD with you.
Some people have experimented with putting the catalog file in the cloud, and photos on a shared network drive, so both computers can access everything. This has certain disadvantages, particularly if you use the catalog on one computer before it has synchronized from the other computer; and you can search these forums for details.

Best practice for the test environment & DBA plan Activities Documents

Dears,,
In our company, we made sizing for hardware.
we have Three environments ( Test/Development , Training , Production ).
But, the test environment servers less than Production environment servers.
My question is:
How to make the best practice for the test environment?
( Is there any recommendations from Oracle related to this , any PDF files help me ............ )
Also please , Can I have a detail document regarding the DBA plan activities?
I appreciate your help and advise
Thanks

Follow your build document for the same steps you used to build production.
You should know where all your code is. You can use the deployment manager to export your configurations. Export customized files from MDS. Just follow the process again, and you will have a clean instance not containing production data.
It only takes a lot of time if your client is lacking documentation or if you re not familiar with all the parts of the environment. What's 2-3 hours compared to all the issues you will run into if you copy databases or import/export schemas?

How to show two different aliases in planning data form

I have two alias members in the Alias dimension-Default,alias-1.
Alias is associated with all the dimensions.
For ENTITY dimension i have values for both the aliases.
Now my requirement is to show Default alias member in one planning data form and alias-1 member in another data form.
How can this be achieved ?

If this is a consistant requirement, you could create another alias table and assign the aliases as a concatenation of the two aliases you need to see at the same time.
IOW, export both tables, and in excel or a text editor, concatenate the two existing aliases for each member into one string, then import that list into yet another alias table.

What is the best way to edit/sync two video files?

Has anyone had experience with editing 2 movies files? I have recently taken video with 2 cameras of the same quality and am attempting to 'merge' the two video files. What's the best way to 'sync' the 2 files?
Thanks

The real answer is to do this in Final Cut Pro X with the new multicam feature with automatic syncing using the audio wave forms.
However, it is quite possible in iMovie.
Here is how I did it in iMovie.
I recently did this for a video of my niece's senior voice recital. (Video is below)
The key is to use the Cutaway feature of iMovie. If you are not familiar with Cutaway,here is a good tutorial from Ken Stone.
I used the side camera as my base clips, and used the back camera as the cutaway clips. The back camera audio track was OK but had too much coughing and noise.
Here are tips for getting it lined up perfectly.
1) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" so you can edit to the frame level. (Also, select "Show Advanced Tools so you get the Cutaway feature)
2) In the iMovie Project View, set the thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so you have a great deal of control.
3) Initially, leave the volume at 100% on the Cutaway track, so that both tracks are playing. You can hear when they are off.
4) Click the "Waveforms" button in the Project view, so you get a visual cue of how to line up the tracks.
5) Between the audible cues and the visual cues, you can nudge the cutaway back and forth one frame at a time by dragging until you have it perfect.
6) When it is lined up to your satisfaction, set the volume slider of the Cutaway track to zero, and turn off the waveforms. You can also move the thumbnail slider back to 5 seconds or so.
7) For some of the fine work, I switched to the "single row timeline view". This slows you down a bit, but lets you see the waveforms more clearly.
8) I made heavy use of the iMovie Comment Marker feature. I watched the whole base video/audio track and inserted comment markers at the points where I wanted the Cutaway to begin and end. For example, a comment might say "Insert Cutaway 1". I would usually time the cutaway so it started at a distinct audio event, such as when the piano start. This comment marker made it easy to drag my cutaway to a point that was approximately correct.
9) If you need to do a lot of cutaways, I find that it helps to use the SPLIT CLIP command in your project. This way you can have a single cutaway per clip, and this makes it easier to manage and is less processor and memory intensive for iMovie. I would use the comments to mark the entry and exit points of the cutaway as described above. I would then select that portion of the clip that included these markers plus a little more, so that a yellow border is around the selection. Then right-click/SPLIT CLIP (or CLIP/SPLIT CLIP in the top menu). This does not physically splt the clip within the Event. It only virtually splits the clip in the project.

What are the two options of entering PLAN DATA?

Dear SAP Gurus
What are the two options of entering PLAN DATA?
AA

Dear Friend AA
Such two options are :- FORM BASED ENTRY & FREE ENTRY.
FORM BASED ENTRY-Here you fill in th eplan data in the rows corresponding to the characteristic values displayed on the screen.But in free entry you have the freedom of inputting even the chrcteristic values.

Two different plans in TEST & Prod

hi,
we have a problem in production database where we find some sql statements running very slow.
but if you run same SQL statement in TEST it runs < 2 secs.
Production DB Prod.SchemaA is exported into TEST DB as Test.SchemaA
When study the explain plan, we find Prod explain plan is different than test. if you create sql profile, by copying TEST explain plan, it would run faster in Production.
Now our question is why optimizer goes through two different plans when the schema structure same and data almost same in two databases?
Note that, we have two almost identical schema's in Production. Prod.SchemaA and Prod.SchemaB has same object names but some Prod.SchemaB may have small difference in indexes/constraints.
Users would run same SQL statement both in Prod.SchemaA & Prod.SchemaB time to time.
thanks

You can have a clear picture about the accuracy of your statistics by getting the execution plan from memory into the TEST and PROD environment. You can proceed as follows
PROD> alter session set statistics_level=ALL;
PROD> execute your query;
PROD> select * from table (dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null, 'ALLSTATS LAST'));
TEST> alter session set statistics_level=ALL;
TEST> execute your query
TEST> select * from table (dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null, 'ALLSTATS LAST'));
This will give an execution plan showing the estimations(E-Rows) done by the CBO and the Actual (A-Rows) rows generated allowing you to judge the accuracy of your statistics.
The predicate part of the execution plan can also show inportant information.

How to consider substitute component under two-phase plan(MPS vs MRP).

We try to run two-phase plan: Production plan and Manufacture Plan in ASCP.
We hope our planner can review production plan result and modify system suggestion date or qty for assemble component plan order.
Then we run Manufacture plan setting demand source is from production plan and "use substitute component" is checked in decision rule, we hope this Manufacture plan can consider substitute component.
But the Manufacture plan didn't consider substiute component.
How to make Manufacture plan consider substiute component when we set demand source is from production plan .

Stacey,
I understand your requirement. I also believe that the manufacturing plan should be able to plan substitute components, but it would take quite a bit of analysis to understand why it was not working correctly. If you want to pursue that approach, I would recommend you start a SR with oracle support to troubleshoot.
The most typical approach with two plans is to have the production plan constrained and attempt to use available substitute components marked as critical. If that is the case, these "critical item" orders would not be replanned in the second plan. Your purchasing planner would not be able to firm planned orders in the second manufacturing plan, but could only update dates and release from that plan. At best case, any changes would be overwritten entered by the purchaing planner for items controlled in the production plan would be overwritten in the next cycle.
The best use of a two plan approach is to simplify constrained planning efforts by have a second unconstrained plans for most items and a smaller constrained plan driving the process. That is not your intent, so you might want to stay with one plan. You will always have some lag in these planners actions in a two plan process, so I don't know if this approach is driving any real benefit for you from a one plan approach. In either approach you will have planners stepping on each other and having to review exceptions, or better yet... talk to each other to review plans.
So...
1. If your intent is to limit the complexity of the constrained plan, the two plan approach has benefits
2. If point # 1 is not your intent, and you are focused on allowing planners to react faster and communicate with each other as they plan their schedules, stay with a one plan approach.
You said
"Our planner will release the plan orders which suggest start date is inside two weeks. But when they review the result and release the plan order , purchase planner review the same plan and issue purchase request in the same time. It will happen some problem, purchase planner will obey system's purchase suggestion but can't meet the demand of those plan orders that production planner has released."
An assembly planner should not be releasing orders within two weeks when the materials are unavailable. That should not happen with a constrained plan unless they created an override the system recommendations. With unconstrained plans, the best you can do is implement a time fence control to prevent this and review exceptions.
I think the best you can do here is implement this process as constrained with substitutes considered for the Assembly planner. Then usining one plan, have the purchasing planner implement their orders based on the latest information. They should use safety stock planning techniques and be looking at a lonegr horizon for demands. They should also communicate these plans to each otherKevin

Fox formula for actual/plan data - Planning function

Hello,
I am working on the following scenarios for developing a planning functions for a monthly forecast.
It is rolling montly forcast where user starts the planning in Jan and he has to show the actaul value for the month of Jan and blank values for the remaining 11 months of the year and then the user post his new forecast values for the remain 11 of the year(to replace initial balnk values) so that the data will be saved to real time cube with version v108
In Feb, Jan & Feb months has to show the act values and remaining 10 months has to show last month forecast data. The the user may revise the forecast for the 10 months and then we have to write the data to the real time cube with version v208
In Mar, Jan, Feb and Mar has to show the actual values and the reamining 9 months has to show the last month forecast and then users may revise the forecast data and then i have to write back to the cube with version v308.
I want to automate this process for all the months and all years without manual intervention. So, i decideed to write a fox formula for this scenario with following draft code.
I will get the fy period & year as a variable values and then take the system date into the variable
for each fy period
if the fy perio <= sys date.
{version, infoprovider,value type,amount} = {0,act cube, 10, 0amount)
else
{version, infoprovider,value type,amount} = {result,plan cube, 20, 0amount)
endif.
result will be calculated on the separe routine and populated here
case (fy per)
when 01.
concatenate v1 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v1+y
when 02.
concatenate v2 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v2+y
when 03.
concatenate v3 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v3+y
when 04.
concatenate v4 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v4+y
when 05.
concatenate v5 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v5+y
when 06.
concatenate v6 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v6+y
when 07.
concatenate v7 with fy+2(2) into y
result = v7+y
etc...for all months
So, can you please let me know the best way to implement this (either by fox formuls or exits)...your inputs are really appreciated
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,
If I 've understood u r problem clearly ,You have to write two Fox Functions and you can call exit variable in both to check the system date.
I think first you should create exit varriable which would return the system date,use the same variable in data slice to lock the data till current period.
After that create one fox restricted with any one version where you can copy the data for planning .for example:-
1)First Fox:-
DATA TIM_FISCPER TYPE 0FISCPER.
TIM_REF_FISCPER = VARV(ZEXIT_FPER).
Get the last month
version using modlue or any another logic .(v108)
FOREACH TIM_FISCPER.
    IF TIM_FISCPER <= TIM_REF_FISCPER.
{0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(000) ,tim_fiscper}.
else.
{0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(v108) ,tim_fiscper}.
     endfor.
Its just n example use the granularity according to the requirement.
2)Second fox would save the changed plan data:-
DATA TIM_FISCPER TYPE 0FISCPER.
TIM_REF_FISCPER = VARV(ZEXIT_FPER).
Get the last month
version using modlue or any another logic .(v208)
FOREACH TIM_FISCPER.
    IF TIM_FISCPER > TIM_REF_FISCPER.
{0amount,version(v208) ,tim_fiscper} = {0amount,version(001) ,tim_fiscper}.
     endfor.
Here ZEXIT_FPER is an exit variable created using cmod and populated with system date.
Hope it will helpful for u.

Syncing two iphones with one computer

A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
Is this possible?

UPDATE:
Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sync two calendars *on iPhone*

Hi there - O my iPhone, I sync two calendars from different servers. Is there a way (possibly via 3rd party apps) to sync these calendars against each other *on the iPhone* ? No external sync's wanted (e.g. via Google or iCloud)... Tx, Stefan

Hi - thanks lots for your comment. I suppose you have lots of experience with it so I dare to describe my setup and desired results and I'd very much appreciate your advice.
- I could sync data (mail, calendar) from two different Exchange servers.
- One of them imposes an incredibly absurd restriction on my phone - pushing a policy which requires 8 char complex password to be changed every 90 days with screen lock set to max 15 minutes. This basically renders the phone unusable in daily life.
I was now thinking of having one old iPhone syncing against both servers but acting as an intermediate device: It would merge the two calendars and then sync the new content to the other server from where I could fetch it with my "real" phone. So this scenario does not work, all too bad...
Would you have any other suggestions how to achive this ? I don't want to involve 3rd party services, e.g. Google...
Many thanks for looking into it - best regards,
Stefan

0vtype =20 (plan data) not populating to cube but present in psa

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in BW 3.5 where in I need to create a report on multiprovider which should give the actual data,plan data and the difference between actual and plan data for some key figures.
The data flow is like this
There are two cubes one for actual and the other for plan ,I am able to get the actual data (10) for actual cube from R/3 .
But the problem is with plan cube,I am not able to get the plan data (20) to the plan cube (to the field 0vtype) ,but the data is coming till psa from R/3,there is no routine present in update rule also,but still data is not showing up for this 0vtype in plan cube...
I have tried loading selectively (020) by giving 020 as constant in the update rule..but still no luck
The datasource that is fetching plan data is 1_CO_PA_PLN1000.
Could you please suggest how to proceed further
Thanks,

HI Sashi,
Checking the mapping between the 0vtype and the source fiedls.
Check in transfer rules first if it is mapped or not.
Transfer rules are not mapped to source fields then correct it .
Hope this helps.

Reddy

After closing request plan data are not longer displayed

Hello all,
guess it's a standard problem but can't find a solution in the forum.
Scenario:
I created a planning cube and an aggregation level with two key figures, a workbook
based on the planning cube and a cube with actual data. The workbook showed the
the actual data and the so far entered plan data, so everything worked fine, but after closing the request
in the plan cube manually by switching to loading and back, the workbook doesn't show the plan data anymore.
Planning is not finished, so its necessary to see the already planned values.
Thanks

Hi,
I think this is an inconsistency of the OLAP cache used in the plan buffer. Clear the cache of the plan buffer query via RSRT or RSR_CACHE. The plan buffer query has the following technical name
- IC/!!1IC if the input ready query is defined on an aggregation level on the InfoCube or on a multiprovder that contains an aggregation level as partprovider that is defined on InfoCube IC
- MPRO/!!1MPRO if the input ready query is defined on an aggregation level on the multiprovider MPRO
For a final solution earch for notes in the area of OLAP and OLAP cache in connection with planning.
